((For most of the thread Apollo looks like a homeless guy named Fred(Think of in one o the books))Starting post is crap but once someone responds ill be able to type more.))
A whistle left his lips as he stood there leaning smugly against the wall of the empire state building. Who might you ask? Well at first glance you would see a scraggly homeless man with a cup in his hand holding it out as if asking for money. Well that's what the mortals would see. But if you could see past the mist surrounding the person you would see a smug looking eighteen year old with sandy blonde hair and mischievous blue eyes. Apollo stuck his hand out again with the cup in his hand as a woman passed by. He put on a frown and acted as though he was shaking. He gave the woman a pleading look. Maybe this time he would get something from this one.
"Have any money mam?"
He watched through shrouded brown oily bangs as the woman stopped and gave him a look over before digging into her purse and dropped four coins into the cup and walking away. Apollo grinned pulling the cup back to him and looking down into it.He reached his hand down into the cup and pulled the quarters out rolling them around in his grimy fingers. He quickly stuffed them into his pocket with the rest of the change before going back to shaking the cup out in front of him again. It was so funny sometimes how mortals would just cave into those that didn't have homes and try to be as generous as they could by giving them money. He found it kinda entertaining.
After standing by the empire for a little while longer Apollo stood up from his spot and walked away from the spot. Now to find another place to get money out of people. Staying in one place for too long was just asking for something. So he always moved from spot to spot. After walking for a little while longer Apollo stopped on another spot and sat down taking the cup back out. Time to have fun again. Apollo put the cup out in front of him shaking it again. He had to bite his lip to keep from laughing or trying to form a Haiku. That would defiantly give him away. Although he was sure he had a whole bunch running through his head right now. A grin spread itself across his mouth as he snickered to himself bowing his head slightly. This was just so amusing.
After sitting down for quite a while, Apollo decided it was time to stop. Picking himself up he dumped the quarters out of the cup and into his pocket before disappearing into an abandoned ally way. Once he stepped out again he was back to his regular looking self. His sandy blonde hair was still a slight mess from not bothering with it. His ray ban sunglasses where set atop his head. He wore a sleeveless white shirt, light colored jeans and a pair of black shoes. After dusting his hands off on his jeans the god walked out into the stream of people instantly blending into the crowds of people. Every once in a while he would hear a giggle or so and see girls staring at him. He would only blink back and make them giggle even more. A grin spread itself across his tan face as he gave a wink and walked off.
The sun god soon came to a stop in one of the city's parks. It wasn't as crowded as it usually would be. Which really surprised Apollo. Most of the time there were people bustling around the place. Apollo only gave a shrug of his shoulder before heading over to a large lake in the middle of the park. He slowed down to a slow walk as he got to the edge of the lake looking down at the water. He sighed as he plopped down onto the ground next to the edge pulling his knees to his chest. For some reason everything was peaceful today. No demons. What a coincidence. Apollo wasn't complaining though.

A young girl appeared at the edge of the park entrance. Dark brown curls cascaded down her shoulders, with deep silver eyes like moons. Her skin was flawless and pale. She wore a silver jacket and jeans, with a floppy gray cap on the crown of curls atop her head. A couple boys whistled. The girl wrinkled her nose. " Scum." You'd think she'd be flirty, for her age was the target age for young love, but this girl was different. She thought boys were dirt, she would say their title like anyone would say 'public restrooms' or 'Hades' underpants.' She didn't ride the other road either, she just hated men. Sound familiar? Kind of like a certain goddess, huh? You are correct. This girl was Artemis, goddess of the Hunt. Artemis snapped her fingers, and where each boy took their next step, there was a pile of dog you-know-what. She would have preferred turning them into jackalopes or donkeys, but that was saved for boys stupid enough to stumble upon her and the Hunters while on a mission. Or while they were bathing nude, in the case of Actaeon. Even now, Artemis smiled cruelly at the memory. It had been a brilliant plan, no doubt. Turning him into a stag and setting his own hounds on him. But there was one other man who did not care the Hunters were virgins, he flirted anyway. And there was nothing anybody could do about it. And that man was her brother Apollo, who was currantly sitting by the lake a little ways away. Artemis walked over to her twin, her silver gaze focased on him. " Hello, Apollo." Artemis greeted formally, sitting down beside him. OOC: I had te most beautiful post in the world, and it was so pretty....then I accidently clicked back.

((I've had that happen before sucks X3..Did you try going forward again??))
"Hello, Apollo."
Blue eyes turned to the side of him and a grin curled across his tanned face. He watched silently as his twin came and sat down beside him on the side of the river. Once she was seated he wrapped an arm around her shoulder his hand tugging at some of her brown curls that fell down her back. "Well hello Arty. What brings you out here on this fine day" Apollo dropped his arm to where he was leaning back on his hands in the grass just looking up at the sun the grin still stretched across his face. Though he would not say it, he liked having his sisters company around. Although they had their differences from time to time she was still his twin. He flicked a sandy blonde bang out of his eyes with his finger before laying his palm back flat on the ground.
His eyes flicked up to the sun for a minute and he moved his head to where his sunglasses fell down over his eyes. He fixed them before laying back on the grass his hands behind his head used as a pillow. He pulled his knees up and crossed one leg over the other. The ray ban sunglasses made everything around him darker and put him off for a second since he was so accustomed to everything being so bright, but he put it off on his head and went back to staring up at the sun. He heard a giggle and feet scamper away and quickly lifted up his sunglasses to see who it was and saw a blonde girl running away from them. Apollo couldnt help but grin and was going to get up and go after her but then he remembered his sister was sitting right beside him. Might not be a very good idea. His sister hated the fact that he loved to flirt with girls. Mortal girls. Nymphs. It didn't matter. But she especially hated it when he tried to flirt with one of her hunters. Now that was amusement. He let out a small laugh leaning back down on his hands on the grass swinging his leg that was crossed over the other in the air. He peaked at his sister from underneath his sunglasses.
"So Arty. What you been up too"

Artemis rolled her eyes. "I told you, don't call me Arty. And things have been going well, with the occasional boy coming across our hunts. They're all jackalopes now."
Artemis smiled and flicked her brother's elbow. She took off her hat and sat it in her lap. She liked Apollo's company, just as long as her Hunters were not around. Then she would have shooed him off. But when it was just them, it was okay.
Artemis looked up at the faint outline of the moon in the afternoon sky. Soon it would be nice and full.
The young goddess turned her head and looked at the other girl. Then she flashed a warning glance at Apollo and whispered, "If you wanna flirt around me, go ahead. As long as you're Mr. Fred the hobo."

"I told you, don't call me Arty. And things have been going well, with the occasional boy coming across our hunts. They're all jackalopes now."
Apollo couldnt help himself as he busted out laughing at his sisters response. A grin pulled itself wide across his face as he felt his sister pluck him in the elbow. He pulled his elbow back and stuck out his lip in a pout. "Heyyy What did ya pluck me for"He said in a whining like tone his lip still jutted out in a pout. He wouldn't be able to hold it for long though.He felt his lip started to shake and he knew he so badly wanted to bust out laughing. He knew what his sister was thinking. Her eyes gave it away. He couldnt help but grin picking himself back up into a sitting position. With his right leg pulled to him his right arm resting on it his left leg tucked under it. He gave a small huff the grin still on his face as he pushed his sunglasses back up into his sandy blonde hair and let them rest on his head. He followed his sisters gaze to see her staring at the outline of the soon to be noon. He couldnt help but chuckle. He knew nighttime was her domain..But day was his. That was for sure. He gasped at his sisters next words.
"If you wanna flirt around me, go ahead. As long as you're Mr. Fred the hobo."
He gave his sister a hurt look and jutted out his lips again. He crossed his arms over his chest turning to watch the retreating form of that blonde girl. He made a noise in the back of his throat before turning to glare at Artemis the pout still on his face. "What's the fun in being Fred. He's to scraggly looking. No girl would like him!"Apollo whined to his sister. Apollo turned his head again to look back at the blonde but found her gone. He let out a sigh of defeat slumping down slightly. He gave his sister an evil glare out of the corner of his eye. She was going to payyyy.

Artemis smiled. "I plucked you because I wanted to." She flipped her hat back on, satisfied, as Apollo burst out laughing. She couldn't help but chuckle to herself.
"What's the fun in being Fred. He's too scraggly looking. No girl would like him!"
Artemis threw her head back and laughed. "Exactly!"
She patted Apollo's back. "Don't worry, you can go back to having affairs with mortal girls as soon as I'm gone. But," The goddess put on a stern face, "stay away from my Hunters. I gave them permission to slap you if you try flirting with them. And I'll hear about it."
Artemis grinned mischievously from underneath her hat. She loved picking on Apollo. It proved she was older and Apollo knew it. Artemis' eyes gleamed like tiny moons under the darkness of the rim of her cap.

Exactly!
Apollo let out a small grumble at his sister. She was older yes and she sure loved to prove it too. He stuck out his tongue at her his mischievous blue eyes lighting up with something akin to mischief. His sister was so going to pay for it. Maybe he would tease her hunters some, see how riled up she would get. She would defiantly kick his ass. He knew that for sure. But hey it was worth it you know. He let his grin pull back across his face as his sister patted him on the back.
"Don't worry, you can go back to having affairs with mortal girls as soon as I'm gone. But,""stay away from my Hunters. I gave them permission to slap you if you try flirting with them. And I'll hear about it."
This made Apollos grin grow even more. He knew his sister was going to say something about the hunters. She was always reprimanding him for flirting with her hunters. He couldnt help himself really. They were cute. He winked at his sister pushing himself to his feet and dusting off his blue jean pants. He smirked down at his sister. "I promise not to be bad...mother"He taunted down to his sister laughing. He made sure to take a step back in case she decided she wanted to swing. This was fun.

Artemis stood up and smacked Apollo with her hat. "I'd rather be Leto than a ten-year old boy[/i]." She taunted. Then she hopped backward.
Oh yes, Artemis loved this. Payback for every time he called her 'little sister' or called one of her Hunters 'sweetheart.'
She smiled at the thought of making more jackalopes. Hmm...maybe the next boy that tried flirting would try being a ass.
Artemis looked out across the park, where a couple girls were giggling and pointing at Apollo. Artemis narrowed and rolled her eyes. What did they see in boys?
Then she spotted a couple boys in the shadows looking at her. They whispered to each other. Artemis could read their lips. 'She's hot.' was what they were saying.
Artemis clenched her little fists and stretched out her hand. The boys exploded into...grasshoppers. The young goddess smiled and dusted off her hands. They needed the worst punishment. To be eaten by another animal.

"I'd rather be Leto than a ten-year old boy."
Apollo watched with amused blue eyes as his sister said that and then jumped back away from him like he was going to hit her or something. He wasn't going to hit her no. Maybe push her in the water. That sounded like a good idea. A grin pulled itself across his tanned face as something lit up in his sky blue eyes and he rocked back and forth on his heals. But Apollo didn't get a chance. He watched as his sisters eyes suddenly narrowed and she was glaring off at some spot. Apollo turned his head his sandy blonde bangs falling into his face. Thats when he spotted a couple girls giggling and pointing his way. He flashed a brilliant white grin their way and winked one of his eyes causing them to squeal slightly and turn away from him. That was sure to piss his sister off.
He turned his head to see that his sister wasn't glaring at the girls anymore but at a couple of boys she could hear whispering about her. Uh oh. He watched as she suddenly clenched her fist and opened it again. Uh oh.
"Arty I don't think thats a good...."
He didn't get to finish his sentence as the two boys suddenly exploded into a whole bunch of grasshoppers. He winced slightly. Man his sister could be cruel. He gulped before turning back to his sister stepping back from her. Good thing she wasn't allowed to turn him into an animal. Although he wasn't allowed to burn her either. He let out a small whistle shaking his head at his sister. "Lets go take a walk before you end up exposing yourself."
