It's not obvious from mythology that Aphrodite has that sort of
standards, but I'm still glad she does. Athena, on the other hand, can
be excused for being so damn practical.

Good point. But I don't recall the previous Godling relying on those
powers either - even in a "Just Be Calm" sense. Of course I am still
relatively new to RACC, so my experience is limited... But that should
not affect Aphrodite's argument.

Oooh, foreshadowing! The Hyper-Piper of Hypergaard approves!
As for the rest of the story... I enjoyed the whole cross-section Day

... wow, they're hardcore negotiators. That's not unheard of, but even
the U.S. Teamsters' Union works for months without contract.
