1. You have finally gotten a chance to spend some quality time with your mythology-obsessed high school crush. Unexpectedly, you find that they aren't only an expert in mythology, but apparently also a part of the mythology! Who could they really be? A descendant of a god? A legendary shapeshifter?
2. You grew up hearing stories that the constellations were once characters from myths and legends, but didn't think them to be true. Fascinated by the wonders of the night sky, you often spend hours gazing at the constellations.
One day at school, a mysterious, new student suddenly arrives, igniting sparks of attraction and captivating your interest. However, that night, you notice that one of the constellations has disappeared. What could be the reason for this? Does the new student have any relation to this?
3. After eons of doing your job as a god/goddess, you decide it's time to take a break by hanging out with the mortals for one day. Prepped with a new backpack and a student ID from the local high school, you look forward to living out the teenage experience, so you transport to school to find out it's prom day. You expect that will be fun. What you don't expect is for any of the locals to catch your eye, let alone your affections. What will you do?
