Alaric
The red carpet was a circus and I couldn't help but wonder what Nico was thinking when he picked this theme for the party.
There were monsters and gods everywhere I looked, a Medusa with rubber snakes in her hair, a Poseidon carrying a trident that kept catching on other people's capes, two Hermes and a very drunk Minotaur.
The photographers were packed behind a rope on either side, and the flashes went off so fast and so close together that the whole carpet seemed to flicker like a broken screen.
I held the skirt up off the ground with one hand, took small steps, used my hips, and pretended everyone owed me money.At least by doing that, no one would know who I am.
"Aphrodite!" one of the photographers shouted. "Over here! Look over here!"
