â thank you, â he hums, tossing in a few more pinchfuls of spices he had laid out on the counter beside him. â i appreciate it, iâm trying to make it more welcoming for all the newcomers. â he smiled slightly, looking back down. â itâs starting to feel like things are fitting in- a puzzle almost complete. â
âi think the newcomers should just eat what theyâre given. we spoil them too much, i think. what are we? their parents?â she teased, looking at mateo with a glint in her eyes. âthey can have all the food they want once they get back their precious olympus. if that ever comes to fruition.âÂ

hal gives a little shrug of his shoulders. he should mean buy, but no oneâs ever accused him of being particularly smart of business-savvy. heâs just doing what he loves, and sometimes he loves just giving shit away.  â if you want an arrangement, yeah, youâll have to buy something, but if you just want a couple flowers, iâm not going to be an ass about it. â
josie nods, understanding his words. âfair enough.â she replied, then proceeded to look around once more. after a few minutes of thinking, she concluded that she was rather hopeless at the tasks at hand. she knew the kind of flowers that she liked and also one that the recipient of her gift might like, but thatâs about it. âactually, would it be much of a bother if i ask for an arrangement? you seem..busy.â she asked.
   thereâs a little speaker in his shop that plays quietly overhead. louder than that, hal sings offkey and exuberantly as he works. does he love abba ?? absolutely. can he sing abba ?? not fucking well. but heâs having a good time, and thatâs what matters. there was a fresh delivery today, so the walls are bursting with fragrant color, and halâs so excited that thereâs color high on his cheeks too.  â if you want to take a few, you can. i canât possibly use all of these â â he could, but heâs feeling generous. if someone wants to take their own bouquet out the door, he wonât complain today. maybe tomorrow when heâs given away half his inventory. Â
josie takes a look around the store. it was a special occasion: a close friendâs birhday. as she entered the store, the sound of someone singing immediately overloaded her ears. out of habit, her mouth curled in annoyance, though once she saw that it was the voice of who she presumed to be the owner, she immediately changed her expression. no use going into an argument with someone whose goods she needed. after he gestured to all the flora around them, josie blinked. âtake? donât you mean buy?â
  â yes, you may.  â mateo replied, handing her the ladle. he smiled, waiting for her to taste some of it before talking again. â is it good? i was going to add some more spice. âÂ
she hummed after she took a small sip. âmaybe just a bit more spice.â josie commented, moving the ladle back to mateoâs hands. âitâs pretty good, though. you did a great job.â she offered a smile and a thumbs up.

âSure that sounds like a plan but I usually cook a lot because weâre six at home and theyâre a hungry bunch. Pick a dish for us to do and Iâll be sure to teach you how to do it and maybe add your own little twist.â he grinned. âI mean Iâm a minor god, and being a god doesnât pay the bills and Iâve got people that depend on me and I canât just shirk those responsibilities to go play Olympus.â
âsounds homely.â she remarked, feeling a twinge of jealousy. josie was an only child, and her concept of family was nothing more than a fantasy. her parents were okay, but she always felt so distant from both of them, despite the onslaught of material gifts. âsomething simple, please. maybe something with grains.â she nodded. âi get it. if only they had some more..interesting incentives then maybe there would be more of us wanting to return, but no.âÂ
âYeah, well Iâve just kind of grown used to a hectic lifestyle, but itâs fine I wouldnât trade my life for anything. If itâs Clooney then Iâm slightly embarrassed I had a crush on him when I was younger. Wow, now thatâs a scandal waiting to happen. Youâve got a lot of power since you run with so much information.â
âi see. maybe you can just cook with me next time, then? iâm not much of a cook, but iâm willing to learn.â she gave him a smile. âdonât worry, i liked clooney once, too.â she shrugged. âitâs one reason why i donât believe in the whole coming back to olympus thing. if i come back, iâm just pheme. the gods could do whatever with me. iâm safer here.â she admitted.
âThanks, you mightâve just saved my home with that so let me know if you hav a favorite dish or something and Iâll make it.â Julian said trying to find some way to repay her as he googled. âI wouldnât be surprised if itâs someone like George Clooney or Simon Cowell. Maybe itâs someone entirely vainglorious and pompous, I mean obviously itâs that way.â
âyou donât have to, really. you look pretty busy outside of this club anyway.â she scoffed. âif itâs clooney, well iâll definitely have a field day. i know things that not even his pretty lawyer wife doesnât know.â she claimed, sending julian a wink. âif itâs cowell, well..iâd be astounded myself. but iâm not scared of either of them. my ears have heard many many things.â
âCan I maybe used your phone to google how to fix a leaky roof? I havenât paid my phone bill so I canât really use it and thereâs gonna be rain soon and I donât really wanna come home to a bunch of kids using the beds as canoes and shit.â
she may be the entertainment worldâs sharpest tongue, but sheâs not a complete bitch. âgo for it, kid.â she said as she held out her phone, already unlocked and on the call screen. âi donât like this rain either. itâs a hassle for everybody.â she groaned. âone of these days, iâll really set something off for that zeus reincarnate...whoever they are.â
  mateo laughed, returning back to his dicing before scooping up the veggies and tossing them into the bowl. â not sure. i just cut up what they had on sale in the supermarket and threw it in with some kale. you want to try some early, josie? â
âkale!â she exclaimed, a grin on her face. âhollywoodâs favorite vegetable.â she leaned forward, trying to sneak a peek at what the inside of the pot looks like. âsure thing.â she reaches for the ladle. âmay i?â

  mateo continued cutting up the vegetables he had laid out for a salad. there next meeting was meant to be a potluck and the man had very little cooking abilities outside of salads and soups, he was hoping that he if threw enough vegetables into it, no one would complain. at the sound of the door opening, mateo glanced up. â hello? whoâs there? â
josie strode through the halls, following the faint scent of what she assumed was food cooking. the distinct sound of a knife cutting something solid also worked towards her theory of there being someone in the next room. as she entered, she hummed. âsmells interesting. what are we having today?â

hi i love elodie and iâve always wanted to play her as an fc so pheme?? the og messy bitch??? hell YE
â pheme!
personification of fame and renown
her favour being notability, her wrath being scandalous rumors
daughter of either gaia or elpis
copypasted this from wikipedia bc im a lil lazy atm:
A tremendous gossip, Pheme was said to have pried into the affairs of mortals and gods, then repeated what she learned, starting off at first with just a dull whisper, but repeating it louder each time, until everyone knew. In art, she was usually depicted with wings and a trumpet.
â josie!
josephine wu was born in a pretty well-to-do family
she was always that one girl in school that everyone either really hated her to her face or was just wary around her but tolerated her bc she does not know how to keep a secret AT ALL
super nosey, always in someone elseâs business
she probably got her ass kicked at least once but whateva she still likes doing it
a band kid (to incorporate the trumpet thing lmao)
went to college for communication and/or journalism
at twenty one, she was approached for the god club
she joined right away just because she thought it would be super fun! sheâs still okay with it now, even though she finds most of the meetings a little boring
does not want to go back to olympus because she really loves the human world (and how much of an advantage she has over ânormalâ humans)
after graduation, climbed whatever ladder she had to ,, skip forward many years later and she has her own talk show âReal Talk with Josie Wuâ
its like oprah + wendy williams + ellen ; like she interviews celebrities ( or starlets ), she does get all up in their business, sheâs muy provocative (ala wendy), but on like special occasions, she does give out like little giveaways to -insert charity name here- to seem very humanitarian
