PERSONALITY:
{Hot-Headed, Stubborn, Loyal, Caring, Loner}
Melissa has never been one for first impressions, nor second or third ones for that matter, but even so she always tends to make one. Though Melissa has very few friends, the few she does have she is very close to. Mel is completely loyal to her friends, going to extreme lengths to make this known to them. Despite how at odds it is for her personality Mel can be quite caring, supporting a friend through rough times, doing whatever she can to help them, is something she is known to do. Though she does like to keep to the quieter side of her group. Despite this she has been known to be quiet the wild child sometimes, coming up with crazy but surprisingly fun stuff for her and her friends to do. Strangers are usually the ones getting the worst of Mel's personality unless she approached them. More than once Melissa has been known to be reserved to the point of ignoring someone, sarcastic to the point of being cruel, or even being extremely blunt to the point of embarrassment(usually for the other person).
One of her major flaws, Melissa is someone you could easily equivalate to a field of land mines. Though she has recovered incredibly from her experiences Melissa has many things that can set off her temper and when she is truly angry Mel has no control over her temper. It is very rare to get away from an angry Melissa unscathed.
Despite this after her rage subsides Mel quite often regrets her actions. Her caring nature coming out just enough for either a gesture of good will and possibly an apology, heartfelt no matter how snappy or soft spoken it is. For those she cares about, very few existing, if Mel were ever to snap on them she doesn't now what she'd do and highly fears the day this could happen.
The second most prominent of her character flaws is her total disregard for rules. She has never felt, and probably never will feel, the need to follow someone else's rules. Though she has a strict moral code she holds herself this has gotten her into quite a few bouts of trouble both in school and out.
Though outwardly it can appear that Melissa has many different sides she has never felt that true of herself. More feeling that she shows only fraction of herself to each person, afraid of showing herself completely and being rejected.
Above all, Mel makes sure that she keeps most people at a distance with a bitchy demeanor and horrible attitude, she has always been able to count the number of people close to her on one hand and prefers it this way... or at least that's what she likes to tell herself despite her occasional loneliness. In her entire life Mel has only cried once in front of someone, that being her father. She is usually very careful to keep her weaknesses from others, having gotten her pride from her father.

FAMILY::
Bridgett Callaghan|38|Mother
Mel hates her mother just as much as her mother ignored her, which was a lot. Ever since she was little her mother had made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with her and Mel got the message loud and clear. They never talked, unless her mom wanted something from her, and they never spent time together.
After her mother sold her she only saw the woman once more and she almost killed her on sight but Ares stopped her.


RELATIONSHIP WITH GODLY PARENT:
It wasn't until Mel got into her first fight at six years old that Ares had any contact with his daughter. Even then, it wasn't until Mel was 13 that she met him for the first time and when he told her who he was she punched him in the face.
After that Ares didn't blame the girl for being mad and decided to give her the space he assumed she would want or at least, that's what Mel assumed. In all honesty he could have been mad at her the whole time, she didn't know. Over a year later he went to her home only to fine the place she had lived abandoned and went on to search for her. It took just over a year before Ares let his pride go and went to the other Gods for help. A few months later Mel was found but she was near death and at the touch of any male, god or mortal she flew into a snarling rage.
After that, Mel being 16, Ares left her to stay permanatly at Camp Athens and eventually he went to visit her. She had clung to him, sobbing, and he had held her until she stopped. It was the only time she had cried in front of someone else and having spent that incredibly vulnerably moment with Ares help grow a bond between Mel and her father that she had assumed would be impossible.

BIO:
Growing up Mel's mother never paid her much mind, pretending she didn't exist once she was 5 and old enough to take care of herself in her mother's opinion. As such Mel grew up raising herself, the only help her mother provided being food, old clothes, and a roof. When Mel was 6 she got into her first fight and lost horribly coming home with a broken arm and a blood covered face. Afterwards, when she her arm was healed, Mel punched the kid who broke her arm and lost again. She did this over and over again until two years later she won, whether it be due to her demi-god blood or growing strength. She continued to pick fights and gradually got better at fighting the kids her age and slightly older. When Mel was 10 she was kicked out of her first school. Her mother beat her visciously but luckily, there was another school close-by that she could go to so that's where she went. She lasted 3 months at the new school before they expelled her as well. That was when the moving began. Every few months, whenever Mel got kicked out of the last school that was close enough they moved. This was Mel's life for until she was 13. A few months after her birthday Melissa had found a fight club near her new school and had been frequenting it. Haggling was the easiest way to earn money at her age and with her mother's definition of food she desperatly needed the money so she went every week. One night, Mel pissed off the wrong guys, known to be lackeys to some drug lord or mobster of some sort. When the cheated men came after her father was there, taking on all five guys as if it was nothing before Mel could even move. Once he was finished he turned to her but only got a gruff. "Thanks" and a slightly annoyed look. When he announced that he was her father, and she realized he was serious, she punched him in the face and stormed off after calling him an asshole.
After that, whether due to arrogance, hurt pride, anger, or respect for Mel, Ares decided to leave her alone. Sadly, it was the worst time to do so. The guys her father had beaten the crap out of came after the following weak, showing up at her house. Her mother simple stared at them blankly as they grabbed Mel when she arrived home from school, her only reaction being a suprised smile when they gave her a roll of hundred dollar bills for her silence. Melissa ended up a slave though she never broke to her 'owners' being sold from one person to another as she refused to yield. Wehn she turned 15 on person decided to keep her and tortured her physically and emotionally for an entire year before she snapped. She killed the man, ran away from the place as quickly as she could, and never looked back. She was found by Ares and a few other minor gods and demi-gods who had agreed to help him search for her four days after she got away. Any male who came within range of her caused her to go into a panic, fighting with savage brutality to get away. One of the females in the group took her and brought her to Camp athens at Ares' request.
For almost an entire year Melissa didn't speak to anyone, including Ares who visited every few months. A secluded but cozy cabin was built for her in the woods and Melissa barely left it, supplies being brought to her. The first place she went when she finally went to the main part of camp was the training area. She ended up making one or two friends but they were older and pratically fully trained, not needing to attend the camp anymore. For almost 3 years Mel stayed at Camp Athens year round but recently she got a small house on the coast a few hours away from the camp which was where she spent her recent time out of camp.

FAVORITE POWER:
Though if asked she'd say her favorite power by far is the ability to conjure any weapon at will, truly Mel likes her ability to control 'dark' emotions (as she thinks of them) far more. Being able to turn the smallest bit of anger, envy or sadness into full blown rage, jealousy or despair is something she loves having control over both from the thrill of wielding the power and it's usefulness.

PETS:
Shadow
Her Oldest Dog. Melissa got Shadow when he was a puppy from her father 3 years ago. He has always been quite calm but followed her around everywhere though she has been able to convince him to stay in her cabin over the years.
Demon
The Youngest, Mel bought Demon as a puppy with her father at the begining of Camp Athen's last year. She is about one and a half years old now and is extremely friendly and energetic as well as playful. Still not fully grown, Demon is already quite big and extremely clumsy.
Rage
Mel's Newest, Rage is her most aggressive dog. Having found him in a dog fighting ring Mel jumped between him and two dogs before they could hurt each other fatally. Rage, though aggressively playful with those he knows and trust, is often extremely guarded and has been known to bite strangers who thought to pet him.

Location:
Cabin-->Training Area-->Cabin-->Kitchen
Melissa had gotten onto campus in the middle of the previous night, some time after everyone had gone to sleep. After spending the night unpacking the few things she hadn't left at her cabin the previous year and getting Shadow, Demon, and Rage settled in Melissa had left long before dawn. Being an insomniac Melissa didn't get much sleep and so, while the sun began to rise she was in the training room beating the crap out of various dummies and punching bags. A few hours later, just before the majority of campers awoke, Melissa quickly walked the path back to her cabin to shower. Where as most Ares children resided near the training area Melissa had chosen a cabin in a wooded area of camp. Though she was the only one who lived in the cabin it could easily fit five people in it comfortably, even with Rage, Shadow, and Demon running around, the only reason it had been unoccupied being that it was so secluded and at least a 15 minute walk to the center of camp. Tripping over her three dogs, Melissa went and took a quick shower before getting changed into a pair of skinny jeans and a black crop top. Leaving the cabin Melissa headed down the path that led to the center of camp. Noticing that a few campers had already started to leave their cabins Melissa added her 'resting bitch face' to her outfit.

Making her way to the main hall Melissa slipped into the kitchen shortly after Adrian left, double checking that no one saw her as she did so. She didn't know why she kept her baking, and occasional cooking, a secret. Often she told herself it was because it would ruin her 'bad-ass, Don't mess with me' reputation but truly she felt there was something else keeping her from others knowing. As she looked around the kitchen Melissa ducked to get past the window that made part of the kitchen visible to the dining room. Once passed it she rose and, seeing Adrian's dishes in the sink, Melissa smiled. Shaking her head Melissa walked over and, quickly washing the dishes, including a few items she needed to bake, she set the others aside to dry. Cleaning off a counter out of view of the dining room Melissa decided to make a large batch of chocolate chip cookies. Though usually she wouldn't do something so big in the middle of the day, afraid of getting caught, her oven back home in New York had broken two months ago and she had missed baking. 'I can't believe I've gone three (or was it four now?) years here and not once has anyone caught me baking... I wonder if anyone has figured out it was me...' Shaking her head she focused on what she was doing, grabbing canisters of flour and sugar for the cookies and walking back to the pantry not wanting to forget any of the ingredients. A few minutes later, all the things she needed on the counter she had cleared, Melissa set about measuring the ingredients.

Location:
California-->Camp Athens-->Main Hall

*As the car drove them closer and closer to the airport Narissa left out an annoyed sigh and shot a pointed glare at Lachlan. After her father had found her in Paris three days ago he had brought her back home and she had locked herself in her room. That night she had tried to sneak out her window only to be caught by her older brother Lachlan. Poseidon and Lachlan had decided to send her to Camp Athens as a 'last resort'. Narissa couldn't decide if she was excited or pissed, on one hand she had wanted to go to Camp Athens for years but on the other hand she was being forced to go whether she wanted to or not. She hadn't talked to Lachlan or their father since the two had told her and it seemed to be really getting on Lachlan's nerves, especially since Narissa was rarely so quiet. "Nari come on. What did you expect us to do? You just disappeared with no explanation and honestly your behavior hasn't been exemplary as of late. Did you really expect neither of us to be worried?" Narissa gave him a look of cool indifference and then looked away and he gave her a glare colder than her own had been. "Fine, be that way. I hope your stay at Camp Athens fixes your attitude." Moments later they pulled up to the airport and Narissa grabbed her carry-on bag, a black backpack, and got out. "There's nothing to fix."*

Narissa let out annoyed sigh as she stood at the entrance to Camp Athens. The scene with her brother had stopped there as she had refused to talk to him afterwards, not even to say goodbye. She had seen the hurt look on his face as she left him to board the plane without looking back but she had forced herself to ignore it. The plane ride afterwards had been uneventful, boring even since she had spent the majority listening to music and staring out the window blankly or sleeping. Afterwards one of Lachlan's friends, whom he had met going to Camp Athens and who lived in Greece, had been there to drive her to camp.
With another sigh Narissa entered the camp, dragging her luggage with her, which consisted of a large rolling suitcase, a sightly smaller suitcase she held in her left hand, a huge duffel bag and a backpack. To say the least it was all extremely heavy. Stopping and looking around Narissa saw a few people around but most were in conversations with others and Narissa didn't want to bug anyone. Seeing a decent size building ahead Narissa decided to head towards it, hoping to find someone who could tell her where the hell she was supposed to go. and what she was supposed to do. Despite her horrid mood she plastered a smile onto her face, hoping to look more approachable, and started towards the building.

Andy could quickly tell that the topic bothered him. Maybe she shouldn't have hugged him or... She didn't know. She brought a hand up to rub the back of her neck, nodding her head at his comment, "We should head to camp and get some food. We'll figure something out with the barrier." She quickly tried to put what he told her behind her. She appreciated that he shared something so personal with her. It meant a lot. But she could tell it was difficult to talk about and she didn't want to dwell on it. She didn't like seeing him sad. "I don't know about you, but I can't concentrate when I'm hungry." She laughed softly, shrugging her shoulders. "You men are like garbage disposals... Always hungry." She teased. She couldn't tell if she was hungry herself, but she knew she needed to eat. She wasn't going to say no to some bacon either.

Andy gasped when Ajax said, "Race you to the main hall?" Then ran off out of the kitchen, disappearing into his cabin, presumably darting towards the main hall. She laughed before shouting after him, "CHEATER!" She pushed off the counter as she began to run after him. Grasping the doorway to the kitchen, she whipped herself into the hallway and sprinted for the door. Damn he's fast! And here she thought she was a pretty good sprinter. Reaching the front door she ran through it out onto the porch. Instead of taking the steps up to the door, she jumped clear over them and landed in the dirt a few feet away.

Wes winked towards trinity as she said, "See you around, Wes." He nodded his head towards her as he took her bowl, stacking it on top of his plate, "Yeah... Catch you later blondie." He liked the fiery Ares daughter. Not like he was going to try to sleep with her or anything. But he enjoyed the banter they had. He could see them becoming those friends that like to piss each other off. He watched her leave, bugging Alex and Daniel on her way out. Which reminded him. He made his way over to the duos table, setting the dishes down as he sat down for a second. "How's the brother doing?" He directed his question towards Alex. Wes didn't know the guy but he figured it was polite conversation to ask about Ajax since he carried him to the hall and what not.

Then Wes glanced over towards Daniel. "I had a little... tussle with your sister on the trails this morning." He grinned mischievously. "She's a hottie." He winked at the Hecate boy before standing back up and grabbing the dirty dishes he was carrying. He headed towards the kitchen, stopping as he almost reached the door to turn and look at Daniel, adding one final comment, "Might have to stop by and see her later... If you know what I mean." He raised his brows suggestively before ducking into the kitchen.

He was laughing to himself as he entered, almost missing the blonde that was baking away. He quietly made his way over to the sink, setting the dishes in it. Then he quietly moved up a few feet behind the girl, leaning his elbow on a near by counter. Smirking, he cleared his throat to alert her of his presence before he spoke, "Whatcha making there?" He looked towards the food then back at her. "I mean I just ate," He rubbed his stomach, "But I could make some room." He teased seeing as how whatever she was making smelled and looked amazing.

Jennova smiled at her brother as she placed her fork on her plate and pushed it aside. She placed her hands on the table and changed her expression to more of a business type. "Yes, I've learned my lesson. No I haven't talked to Dad since. I was thinking of making it up to him by ending my relationship with Toby. I know that's one thing he really wants. However I've been with the guy for two years, that's going to be extremely awkward and hard to do." Jenn looked around making sure Toby wasn't anywhere to be seen. She looked back at her brother. "Clearly I've been going about life the wrong way. None of these people will ever have our backs, we can really only count on each other. I know I've been lying to myself thinking that maybe Toby will be on my side, but in all reality I know he won't." Jennova shrugged, her heart ached at the thought of leaving him, but family comes first. If her father really did have some crazy plan to be in control she would need to close any unnecessary ties.

Adrian smiled at Alex as she spoke, he wasn't one for making friendly conversations out of no where but he thought he'd try it out. As Daniel left, Adrian cocked his eyebrow as the man left the two. He wondered if Adrian wasn't allowed to talk to Alex or something. "Sorry for upsetting your lover. Wasn't aware I couldn't speak to you." He joked with Alex, after a while of silence she left, probably to go after Daniel. Adrian pursed his lips before he thought of the training arena. He should probably find someone to pair up with. Adrian checked his pockets and realized he had forgotten his cabin keys in the kitchen. "Damnit... I'm always forgetting something." He muttered under his breath as he started to head back to the kitchen, as he headed back he remembered that he forgot to wash the dishes. Great.. He thought to himself as he reached for the door handle to the back kitchen. He instantly smelled something sweet, and looked to find a blonde woman preparing something and the son of Aphrodite talking to her.

Adrian cocked his head to the side, he didn't know of any blonde women that worked in the kitchen, he pursed his lips as he looked towards the office in the back of the kitchen, of course his keys were still in the door to the office. He walked past the two and grabbed his keys, shoving them in his pockets. Then he turned to the male in the kitchen. "Wesley, is it? I don't mean to be an asshole or anything, but staff only is allowed back here." He smiled at the man and turned to look at the girl. She was beautiful, he couldn't deny that. She was covered in tattoos and for some reason that was kind of a turn on. He glanced at what she was making and laughed to himself. He shook his head as he walked back to the office, just realizing that the four years he has been here this woman was the one leaving all the baked goodies in the kitchen.

Adrian shut the office door behind him and looked at the desk where there was a stack of papers with his name on it. He sighed as he grabbed the papers, noticing there were new requests for recipes to be made this year. He pulled out his phone and started looking for recipes to follow to accept the requests that were given to him.

"CHEATER!!" He had heard her shouting before he momentarily found his hiding spot from her.

In no time Andy had managed to catch up with him, and was only a few feet away from where he was keeping out of sight. He waited silently for a moment before jumping out in-front of her with a deep, loud, "Boo!" He chuckled with a grin. "The race is still on!" he called back to her as he ran off again, but this time he wasn't hiding behind any trees. The ground seemed to tremble slightly with every step that he took, but he didn't pay any attention to it, and remained focused on the race.

It was typical that this Camp would get into situations like the Minotaur, the poisoning, and he knew that wasn't going to be the last. All of these situations were like tests before the huge war that was heading their way, the war they had no clue about as their parents were waiting for the right moment to tell them.

Once at the hall, Ajax looked around and saw everyone, even his sister. Two guys were up by the kitchen were trying to out flirt one another with the blonde chick that was covered in tattoos, and then Hades's children who both looked suspicious in their own world at one end of the hall. He was glaring at David mostly. Ajax didn't trust him, even if he did help the others to tame the wild beast that had accidentally strolled past the protective barrier.

Anyway, he reminded himself that he would need to talk to Daniel after breakfast, so he took his eyes off of David, and Jennova, then headed over to where the food was sitting as a buffet for people to get as many servings as they wanted. Ajax made sure to fill his plate, then took at seat at the table by himself for now as he tucked in. Assuming Andy was here already, he looked over his shoulder to check exactly where in the room she was. Training would be soon too, so luckily he had gotten up as early as he did. He liked it when his day lasted longer like that.

Just as Andy gained her bearings, standing up right and readying herself to race off, Ajax bursted out in front of her. "Boo!" So surprised, she literally screamed out, quickly following it with a laugh. She playfully pushed his shoulder as he ran off, shouting back at her, "The race is still on!" She didn't hesitate to barrel after him. He was pretty fast. She couldn't tell if he was trying his hardest or trying to make the race even. Whenever there were turns in the trails, she'd reach out a hand to grab a tree and whirl herself around the bends so she didn't have to slow down. Whipping herself giving herself a little boost. Even though it was a friendly race, she was focused.

Andy was a very competitive person and she was determined to catch up and win. They were nearly to the main hall when she caught up to him, "Keep up old man!" She winked towards him before pushing forth with the last bit of effort she had to step through the door just before him. The second her shoes hit the slippery tile floor, her feet slipped out from under her. She fell over, landing on the ground cracking up laughing. That's what I get for having to win. After a moment of catching her breath, she stood up. She glanced around the room with flushed cheeks, slightly embarrassed about her less than graceful entrance.

She dusted her clothes off as she walked over to the buffet with him. She just grabbed herself an apple juice and yogurt. Walking around Ajax she bumped him with her shoulder playfully. When she got his attention, she slow clapped towards him, "I think you... didn't give it your all." She stuck her tongue out at him before nodding her head towards an empty table. "... Unless you wanna bug the love birds." She said under her breath in a teasing manner, referring to their siblings at a table together. Andy made her way towards an empty table, taking a seat so she conveniently had a view of Daniel. When his eyes met hers she raised her playfully while smirking. She crossed her legs as she shook her yogurt, then opened it and began eating. She probably should be eating more but the events of the last 24 hours has had her stomach in knots. She worried that if she ate too much training and her already less than stellar health would make her get sick. And she refused to be cooped up in her cabin all day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Having spaced out, letting her mind wander as she mixed the cookie dough, Melissa didn't even notice the laughing blonde male until he cleared his throat right beside her. Her focus snapping back to the present Melissa quickly turned her gaze on him with a frown as he spoke. "Whatcha making there? I mean I just ate," As he glanced at the bowl she silently cursed herself for her earlier mental comments. 'Whichever God or Goddess that's in charge of karma is currently on my hit list' Focusing back on the guy beside her Melissa watched him rub his stomach. "But I could make some more room." At his teasing tone Melissa frowned and she narrowed her eyes a bit, staring at him coldly. She wasn't the type to make quick friends and she didn't like when strangers were overly familiar with her. Just as she was about to tell him off Melissa watched Adrian walk into the kitchen and visibly flinched. After Adrian walked over to his office door and grabbed his keys he turned and addressed the guy beside her."Wesley, is it? I don't mean to be an asshole or anything, but staff only is allowed back here." Gratitude for the comment instantly filled her until she allowed herself to remember that she wasn't staff either. When he moved his attention to the bowl in her hands Melissa watched as he laughed and shook his head before going into his office. For a moment she just stood there, staring at the door but since he hadn't said a word to her Melissa just turned back to the bowl and went back to stirring the ingredients in the large bowl. Without looking up she addressed the guy beside her. "You heard him. Leave. Now." She made her tone icy and threatening, making sure he knew she was serious.

Finished stirring Melissa picked up the large, quite heavy bowl and walked over to a different larger counter, no longer caring if the people in the dining room saw her. Setting the bowl down Melissa went over to a cabinet and opened it to pull out a few cookie sheets and then walked over to the ovens and set them up to preheat. As she walked over to a drawer, passing the blonde guy she glanced over at him and raised a brow but didn't say anything. Without pause she grabbed a spoon and went back to the counter, starting to drop cookie dough onto the trays in a quick and precise manner.

He looked to Alex who had rejoined him as he was picking at his food aimlessly then shrugged. What did he need an apology for? Next, she asked him any plans for today. Er, general chit-chat Daniel thought on his answer for a second. It wouldn’t vary much from what others were doing, he imagined. Which wasn’t specifically planned out at this stage.
Pretty quickly, his hair was tugged on roughly and before he could think to shut out, he clenched his teeth instead and hissed through them a little. “Too kinky” Equally as quick, release was granted but he couldn’t complain, especially seeing the blonde perpetrator. Fine. I deserved that.

Wes sat by them for a second. "I had a little... tussle with your sister on the trails this morning. She's a hottie." He scrunched up his face, displeased by the perspective. Daniel would say his sister was pretty but that was the end of it. And thankfully, the end of Wes' tormenting. Or so he thought. "Might have to stop by and see her later... If you know what I mean." “Dude!” Daniel was trying to half-enjoy his meal and the thought of someone wanting to hook up with Andy… It just didn't sit well with him. And Wes picked a bad audience to share it with. It didn’t take much talk for Wes to become bored though and move on with his tormenting of an ink covered girl. He shuddered a little. Andy had the reins of her love and hook-up life but Wes of them all...Is this what it's like to have a sister developed into womanhood? Shit He decided he didn't want a sister. He was illy protective of her already and Daniel didn't like the kryptonite and effort.

He tried to resume talking to Alex but one after the other, peopled piled into the main hall and distracted Daniel's calculating mind that just adored new people and drama. That was before Andy fell ass over in the main hall with Ajax a fraction behind her. He looked between the two suspiciously. "Probably just gonna cause some trouble," he answered Alex at last. When Andy gave herself a strategic spot in Daniel's vision, he replied to her look with his own smirk. She wasn't in too hot of a position to tease after her delicate entrance. Maybe it's not so bad to have a sister from Hecate...

Jennova's embedded loyalty to their father seemed to return, bringing certain satisfaction back in David's limbs as his body relaxed. He hadn't even noticed he was still tense until he had heard her words promising to prioritize family over all. But he didn't really know if Jennova would have the cold heart to drop Toby. Especially after his healing part he played when they helped her from the underworld. But it wasn't personal. Dad didn't like any close relations that could prompt a warm heart. David nodded to Jennova. "Do what you gotta do," he agreed. It were better than family conflict.

He checked over his shoulder then looked back to his sister and smiled. He had caught Ajax's and Alex's appreciative glare. "I see you're still the popular child," he commented then rose. The company of himself had always been preferable to a slowly crowded hall. He stole an apple from a Demeter's child and smirked to Ajax as he tossed the green food up and caught it again.

He passed a new girl, judging by the bags she had in hand and he laughed. Pretty as she was, David couldn't help himself because her acting was worse than she knew. Poor girl wasn't giving off the best vibes as she thought and was probably somewhat forced to join the bunch of delinquents. "Welcome home new girl."

Wes wasn't in the kitchen for more than a minute when winged victory came in and was complaining about his presence. "Wesley, is it? I don't mean to be an asshole or anything, but staff only is allowed back here." He sighed, throwing his hands up in an innocent surrendering manner, "Awesome." He watched as wings walked out of the kitchen and once he was gone Wes turned around to face the tattooed blonde. He was waiting and trying to make eye contact with him so he could talk to her again but she merely stared down at the bowl as she spoke. "You heard him. Leave. Now." He did a double take, pushing off the counter. He was about to head out of the kitchen when he pointed to the stove, "You shouldn't stand so close to the stove... Might melt your ice cold heart."

Wes was going to just head out of the hall and go towards the training area even though he had no idea what to train for, with or whatever. But he stopped the second Andy came flying in the door, quickly followed by her slipping on the ground straight onto her ass. "Smooth." He watched the brunette stand up and walk over to the buffet. As she walked over there Wes blatantly looked at her ass as she walked. After he did, he looked towards Daniel from the corner of his eye. He liked pissing Daniel off or anyone for that matter. He also didn't know when to stop.

Once Andy took a seat, before Ajax joined her Wes moved to slip onto the bench beside the brunette. "Hey there Gorgeous." Andy's smirked that she shared with her brother quickly faded the second he sat beside her. "I told your brother about our little tumble in the woods earlier." He smiled towards her, while steeling a drink from her apple juice. "What are you talking about?" She scoffed. All he did was smirk as he moved to his feet. But before he left he leaned over, flicking his index finger around a loose lock of her hair. Then whispered in her ear as he looked at Daniel, "Oh you know." And before she could do anything else, he leaned in and kissed her on the cheek.

If Andy could steam out of her ears she would. She didn't know if this son of Aphrodite was doing this to frustrate her or if this was his crude way of flirting but she didn't like it. But what made her ever more angry was when he leaned in and pressed his lips to her cheek. Before he had a chance to pull away, she clenched her fist and thrusted her elbow backwards into his groin. The impact made Wes squeal like a girl and fall back on the ground clutching his crotch as Andy took another bite of her yogurt with a smile.

The trek up the hill towards the building had seemed to take an eternity with the heavy bags she carried but in truth, it had probably taken about five minutes. Just as she reached the building, stopping and contemplating going in, a guy walked out a few feet away from her. Taking one look at her he began to laugh and her smile immediately dropped but she forced it back on quickly. "Welcome home new girl." Narissa looked away from the laughing guy who had spoken to her and forced her smile to be a little more cheerful before she looked back. Narissa had never been one to show her true feelings to others and was usually pretty good at hiding them but she knew that her smile looked forced. "Hi. Um, I don't suppose you could help me figure out where I'm supposed to go?" As she spoke, her voice sugar sweet, Narissa let her gaze roam over the male from head to toe and her smile became a bit more genuine as a wicked gleam entered her blue eyes. 'If the other guys here look half as good as he does maybe this won't be so bad...' Quickly Narissa stood the large rolling suitcase up, set down the suitcase in her left hand, and slid the duffel bag off her left shoulder before dropping it to the ground. All three were quite heavy , weighing what she assumed to be at least 100 pounds all together,and Narissa let out a sigh of relief before looking back at the male in front of her and raising an eyebrow in wait for an answer, the wicked gleam still in her eyes and a similarly wicked smirk turning up the corners of her mouth.

As the cocky male did a double take Melissa smirked, trying her best not to laugh. "You shouldn't stand so close to the stove... Might melt your ice cold heart." Melissa froze. As the male strode out of the kitchen Melissa slowly, carefully set down the small ice cream scoop in her hand down followed by the bowl. Anger radiating off of her she went and washed her hands and then walked to the doorway leading to the hall. Stopping in the doorway Melissa let her icy glare sweep the room once before her eyes landed on the guy named Wesley just as he kissed a girl she thought was a daughter of Hecate on the cheek. Melissa watched, waiting as the girl quickly elbowed Wesley in the groin. As he fell to the ground Melissa walked over, anger almost a tangible thing, and spoke briefly to the girl. "Sorry, I thought I had already taken out the trash. Let me get that for you." Picking up the male by the back of the neck with one hand Melissa stood him up and shoved him all the way to the door of the dining hall before turning him to face her and punching him in the face, hard. “The next time you talk to me like that things will be much worse for you. And I never want to see you making a move on an unwilling girl again. Am I Understood?!" The venom in Melissa's voice was a living thing and an aura of anger, savage and lethal, radiated around her as she spoke to Wesley. Her glare colder than Arctic ice Melissa waited for a response. Out of the corner of her eyes she saw a blonde girl and a male, who had been talking a few feet away, turn to watch the scene, the female staring with wide eyes, but Melissa ignored them as well as the people still in the dining hall that were watching her.

David's intention was to have his say and slip out the door but the girl had decided to ask him if he could help her out. And David didn't know why but he actually stopped, giving his attention to the girl. "Um. Well normally Ajax over there takes care of the newbies," David threw a thumb back vaguely. "But we should probably give him a break." He heard himself say as he caught the way she was eyeing him and the face that implied bad intentions. Slowly, his own smirk crept across his features. Before all the hell started going on behind him. He stepped beside the new girl watching the scene unfold in all the tattooed girl's unjustified rage. It was a scary thing actually. Daddy issues, obviously. Why else would she be so mad and unpleasant. Especially since it looked like she pursued the guy for a fight.

"Uhh...." he blinked trying to change subject and get out before the crazy bitch started a fight with David just for looking in her general direction. "So...who...whose child are you?" he resumed to ask. David picked up one of her bags in prompt to leave and show the girl to her cabin. There were plenty of other opportunities to watch a fight.

Daniel had blinked and Wes was moving in on his sister. Daniel shifted uncomfortably and sat a little taller. The child of Aphrodite was dislike-ably too close to her. Daniel narrowed his eyes as Wes played with her hair and laid one on Andy Just her cheek he had to remind himself to stay calm. But his favorite bit of all was Andy knocking her elbow back into his sensitive area which is when Daniel lit up again, proud to be associated with her. On some level he should have sympathized with the poor guy but Wes asked for it. Obviously Andy was the type to take care of herself.

Daniel's gaze flickered to the ink covered girl marching up to Wes while down and pushing him out of the door of the dining area. Daniel rose and followed. Not to be the kind to gather and chant 'fight, fight, fight' for once but because Wes had already received his punishment and it didn't need to excess to brutality. Wes was a minor nuisance was all. He saw the hard swung punch covering his mouth "Oooo! Shit" Daniel dragged his hand down to his jaw. What the heck had the guy done to piss her off so much?

ImageAjax wasn't the one for fights among themselves unless there was a hard explained reason for it. Usually though, he'd sit in the background silently unless Alex was involved. He had just witnessed a girl covered in ink, and Andy hit Wes for coming onto them. Wes deserved it in some way, but then again.. he was the son of Aphrodite after all, so what did they expect? but a punch to the face was a bit over the line. "That's enough!" he ordered as he climbed off of his bench, bellowing in a deep voice like his father Zeus, whilst leaving his food on the table half finished.

"This hall is for everyone to have breakfast, to relax before training. If you got an issue!? then take it outside. Now!" Ajax was looking to both Wes, and Melissa as he pointed his finger towards the exit. He wasn't going to tell them again. He knew people weren't going to be happy with him breaking up some fight, but if they wanted to watch a tussle!? then they could join them outside too. He wanted to eat in peace. "We don't have time to fight over petty little things, we got a war coming. Just tell him you're not interested, and leave it at that. If he doesn't leave you alone? then you can hit him again." he smiled to her now, and looked to Wes. "Really isn't your day.." Ajax then wandered back to his food.

Image While everyone else was too busy arguing, or just watching the drama in the hall, Alex heard the messenger of the Gods flutter in after Daniel had explained what he was going to be doing. "Alexandria Valis?" He called out, holding a letter in his hand. Alex put her hand up into the air, causing him to fly over to her in his winged boots, then handed the letter to her before taking off out of the hall. It was a letter from her father. She slowly sat back down onto her bench, and opened up the envelope before taking out the letter carefully, then unfolded it before her before reading it out loud in her head.

Zeus couldn't really write much, because it had to remain a secret, and that is what was written down after he told them to go see him. She looked up after finishing the letter, and found her brother looking in her direction with a questionable look on his face. So, she motioned her head towards the door, causing Ajax to get up after finishing his food, and followed his sister outside, then to the side of the building out of sight. She gave him the letter so he could read over it for himself.

"I think dad's onto something important, big brother, which would make sense if you think about it, because the offspring of Hades have been pretty-damn-edgy since they got back from the underworld. I don't trust either of them, even if the female did save you." Sure her brother would understand, because their Fathers were natural rivals. Zeus was the most powerful, and Hades was the most Jealous. "Then we go see dad and see what he has to say. But if anything happens between now, and then? you go alone, or with someone you trust. Okay?" He tilted his chin down towards his chest as he looked to his sister. "Okay." he felt a but. "No but's, Al. You're my responsibility." Alex nodded before folding up the letter after taking out the key from the envelope, and stuffing it into her bra. No-one would dare look for it there.

Wes was starting to stand up, chuckling at the nut shot Andy gave him. It didn't particularly hurt too bad, he was just laying it on thick to play the victim. Then the tattooed blonde from the kitchen made her way through the tables to grab him by the back of his neck. "What the-" He said just before the blonde spoke towards Andy, "Sorry, I thought I had already taken out the trash. Let me get that for you." He had half a mind to pull himself free from her grip but since he was taken by surprise he allowed her to yank him outside the main hall. The second they were outside, he barely had a chance to gain his balance from being dragged outside before the feisty blonde through a punch right into his jaw. The blunt force of it partnered with his off kilter balance sent him stumbling backwards. His hand quickly raising to cup his face as he glared daggers at the woman. Who the hell does she think she is!?

“The next time you talk to me like that things will be much worse for you. And I never want to see you making a move on an unwilling girl again. Am I Understood?!" She concluded after the punch. Wes hadn't noticed Daniel was outside as well until he said, "Oooo! Shit" His brows furrowed as she regained his balance, "All this because of a stupid comment. You need to lighten up Goldilocks." He wiped his hand across his mouth before spitting the blood at her feet, "You are lucky I don't believe in hitting a woman..." He was practically growling at this point. He knew he liked to ruffle feathers but this was ridiculous. He could understand why Andy did what she did... He crossed a personal boundary but this chick was irate.

Andy obviously wasn't a fan of Wes planting one on her. But she wasn't mad enough to have some random blonde she's never met to drag him outside. He was her friend for lack of a better term, and she was putting him in his place. She didn't even hit him that hard and she was 99% sure that Wes was overreacting to tease her. But when Andy saw the blonde come and grab him, claiming something about forgetting to take the trash out. The second the girl began to drag him out of the hall, Andy shot up from her seat, nearly tripping over it as she hurried to follow after them. She reached the door just after her brother, only hearing the BAM of the punch. It wasn't until she snaked her way around Daniel that she saw Wes holding his jaw, spitting blood out from his mouth.

She didn't know what she was thinking, but Andy ran in the middle of the 2 of them. "Woah woah woahhhh!" Her back was to Wes as she held her hands out towards the tattooed blonde. "I am pretty sure there is nothing that Wes could say that warrants him getting slugged in the face!... Unless he said he was going to sacrifice your first born child to Hades or something." She glanced over her shoulder towards him before looking back at the blonde. "And I don't need you fighting my battles for me. The only person I could possibly understand getting pissy about what he did, besides me, would be him." She motioned towards her brother. "But believe it or not I can take care of myself!" Andy wasn't a fan of mindless rage regardless of who it was aimed at. "How is it fair going berserk on a guy that wouldn't hurt a fly? You can't pick a fight with a guy who obviously would never hurt a woman.... He's harmless."

Ajax came outside and was definitely not happy with the current events, "This hall is for everyone to have breakfast, to relax before training. If you got an issue!? then take it outside. Now!... We don't have time to fight over petty little things, we got a war coming. Just tell him you're not interested, and leave it at that. If he doesn't leave you alone? then you can hit him again." She watched him turn to Wes stating something about it not being his day, then he returned inside. She stood there quiet for a long moment, before saying one final thing to the girl, "If you're going to pick a fight... At least have the decency to do it with someone who can and will fight back."

Andy looked towards Wes, nodding her head towards the main hall. "Come on lets get you some ice." She headed inside and walked over into the kitchen. She grabbed a clean cloth, and filled it with ice from the freezer. Wes walked in behind her, cupping his jaw with his hand. Andy turned to face him, and held out the ice for him. "I'm sorry... I wasn't expecting all of that," She waved her hand in the direction of the door, "To happen. I was just messing with you." Wes reached out to take the ice from her and placed it against his jaw. "Don't worry about it cupcake... You didn't hurt me. I was just trying to get a rise out of Daniel." He smirked before adding half heartedly, "Girl's got her panties in a twist." "A girl like that... Doesn't wear panties." She added sarcastically before patting his shoulder and heading back out into the main eating area. She made her way back to wear her yogurt and juice sat, taking a seat. But she didn't continue eating, she just stared at the food and stirred the yogurt with a spoon.

"Um. Well normally Ajax over there takes care of the newbies," Narissa watched as the guy threw a gesture over his shoulder pointing the way he had come with his thumb. "But we should probably give him a break." Nariss, the wicked gleam in her eyes clearly visable, widened her equay wicked smirk as the guy met her eyes and gained a similar look. Just then Narissa stared wide eyes as a blonde tattooed girl dragged a guy out of the big building and hit him in the jaw. From only a few yards away Narissa could tell the blow was hard and would bruise but as the guy she was talking to, who had stepped beside her, spoke she focused back on him. "Uhh..." She watched, her smirk returning as he blicked a few times, looking for a conversation to start. "So... Who... Whose child are you?" As the guy asked he grabbed the suitcase she had been carrying and turned away from the fight. Grabbing her stuff Narissa's eyes lost their wicked gleam at the question but she answered anyways. "Poseidon." She spit the name, trying her best not to start swearing after it. She didn't know what it was about this boy but she felt strangely... relaxed around him. She realized now what she was thinking and threw on a convincing smile. "He's great! I-I saw him right before I left Cali!" She almost winced as she stumbled over the lie, remembering Lachlan's face at the airport. 'The best lies have a bit of the truth in them...' She thought as she followed after the guy. She had seen him before she left Cali, when he dropped her off two days before her flight."By the way, my name is Narissa. What's yours?"

"Oooo! Shit" Melissa glanced up startled at the proclamation and during that moment Wes got to his feet, glaring. Melissa forced herself to look back at Wes, watching as he stood and spat blood out at her feet. "All this because of a stupid comment. You need to lighten up Goldilocks. You are lucky I don't believe in hitting a woman..."
"Woah woah woahhhh!" Melissa's gaze slid to Andy and her face lost all emotion as she calmed herself, watching the brunette who stepped in front of her. "I am pretty sure there is nothing that Wes could say that warrants him getting slugged in the face!... Unless he said he was going to sacrifice your first born child to Hades or something. And I don't need you fighting my battles for me. The only person I could possibly understand getting pissy about what he did, besides me, would be him." The brunette motioned towards another male. "But believe it or not I can take care of myself! How is it fair going berserk on a guy that wouldn't hurt a fly? You can't pick a fight with a guy who obviously would never hurt a woman.... He's harmless." As the other girl finished Melissa heard another person exit the hall and looked over to see Ajax. "This hall is for everyone to have breakfast, to relax before training. If you got an issue!? then take it outside. Now! We don't have time to fight over petty little things, we got a war coming. Just tell him you're not interested, and leave it at that. If he doesn't leave you alone? then you can hit him again." When at the end of his rant Ajax smiled at her Melissa almost gasped in surprise but managed to keep her face blank. "Really isn't your day.." Ajax said before turning and going back into the hall.
"If you're going to pick a fight... At least have the decency to do it with someone who can and will fight back." A pang of regret hit Mel as she turned away and walked into the kitchen, followed by the brunette who got ice and left without another word. Grabbing a bottle of pain relievers she kept in the kitchen for when she worked out too hard before coming to secretly cook Melissa went back out to the dining hall and walked over to Wes and the two girls with him to hear the end of their conversation. "Girl's got her panties in a twist." "A girl like that... Doesn't wear panties." The girl said before patting Wes' shoulder and then walked away. Clearing her throat to grab Wes and the other girl's attention Mel set he bottle down on the table Wes was sitting at. Not looking at him she spoke normally, trying to seem indifferent though she was a bit worried. "Take three at a time every four hours, that's how many I take after sparring." She turned to leave but then stopped and sighed. "If you want it I have a jar of healing balm from one of the Apollo kids I'm friends with in my cabin. After I throw the cookies in the oven I'm heading back there."

As Wes stood there, holding the ice pack to his jaw he heard someone approach but didn't look up at first. "Are you alright? Who did this to you?" When he realized who's voice it was, he glanced up to see Alex standing there in the room with him and Andy. Before he could speak Andy answered for him, "The tattooed blonde punched him. But I don't know if it was from what I did or...?" She looked towards him with a questioning glance, "What did you say to her?" Wes removed the ice from his jaw, stretching his face while making a strange pained expression before speaking. "I just asked her what she was making. Then when feathers told me I wasn't allowed in the kitchen, she... very rudely told me to leave. All I said was You shouldn't stand so close to the stove... Might melt your ice cold heart." He shrugged his shoulders before reapplying the ice. Andy couldn't help but chuckle, "Sounds like something Daniel or I would say."

After Andy had left the room, Wes was slightly surprised that Alex had stayed around. "Is there anything I can do to help?" Just as he was about to respond, he saw the punch thrower enter the room. He tensed up, looking away from her while trying to bite his tongue. He glanced from the corner of his eyes as she set a medicine bottle on the table. "Take three at a time every four hours, that's how many I take after sparring. If you want it I have a jar of healing balm from one of the Apollo kids I'm friends with in my cabin. After I throw the cookies in the oven I'm heading back there." He grabbed the bottle, stepping in front of her before she left, holding it out towards her. "Thanks Doc. But I have my own pain killers." If that was her idea of a shitty apology, well he wasn't buying it. He moved away from her and went back over to Alex. In a gentlemanly way, he placed his hand on her upper back and led her out into the main eating area.

"Thanks Al. I think I'm alright." He managed a slight smile. He appreciated that she at least cared enough to wonder if he was ok and try to help him. It was no surprise to him that many of the people at camp didn't like him. But Alex didn't seem like everyone else and he was grateful for that. "I think you're the only person here that somewhat likes me." He laughed softly.

Andy felt like she had been sitting there stirring her yogurt for a good 5 minutes. With a sigh she finally stood up and threw out the remnants of her food, realizing she had lost her appetite. As she headed towards the exit of the main hall, she walked past Wes and Alex. She flashed them both a quick smile, raising her hand to pat him on the shoulder. "Hang in there Romeo." Andy then moved her gaze towards Alex, moving her hand to gently squeeze the girl's arm in a friendly manner before she exited the hall. Once she stepped outside she inhaled a deep breath of the fresh air, while slipping her hands into the pockets of her hoodie. She began to start walking towards the training area, but when she was a few feet away from the hall she looked back at the hall and saw Ajax sitting on a bench.

Normally Andy probably would have walked on because she never thought she was the best at comforting but he looked like something was bothering him. She slowly spun around, trudging over to him. She came to a stop, standing before him. "Hey..." She spoke quietly before moving to take a seat beside him, "Everything ok?" She looked over at him, the wind softly blowing the hairs that fell loose from her ponytail across her face. She waited a long moment before adding, "You know," Her tone was a little more playful this time, "You're cuter when you smile." She then giggled softly and smiled towards him. It was none of her business what was bothering him. And he didn't have to tell her. She just wanted him to have someone to talk to if he felt the need. And if not... Well she was always good at making people smile or laugh.

Image Wes looked up to her, and Alex smiled softly as she waited for him to say what had happened, but she looked to Andy who explained for him. "The tattooed blonde punched him. But I don't know if it was from what I did or...?" That annoyed Alex, because who gave that tattooed blonde the right to lay one on Wes? she kept silent for now, waiting for Wes's side of the story. "What did you say to her?" Alex returned her gaze to the poor guy, silently still waiting for him to tell her as she gently moved her hand from his arm. "I just asked her what she was making. Then when feathers told me I wasn't allowed in the kitchen, she... very rudely told me to leave. All I said was You shouldn't stand so close to the stove... Might melt your ice cold heart." Andy chuckled, and Alex did too as a grin grew on her face while playfully nudging him. "I'm sorry this happened to you, Wes. I don't agree with men hitting women, and I don't agree with women hitting men. Your comment was just playful."

Image After Andy had left the room, Wes was about to say something, but that same damn blonde had appeared, causing Alex to glare over at her. If she was going to say one wrong thing to Wes, then Alex would happily give her a piece of her mind. Alex watched as she placed some kind of medicine on the table for him. This was no apology, it was more like trying to suck up to him, to kiss his ass. Alex didn't like her voice at this moment in time, let alone her presence entirely. Alex let Wes handle this, but she'd be ready to step in. Wes had practically told her to get lost, which caused Alex to smile again before he had his hand on her lower back, leading them both back into the hall away from that blonde. "Thanks Al. I think I'm alright." she was glad that he was. "You're welcome." she gently told him with her hand rubbing his back a little for a second before she pulled up a seat for him to take. "I think you're the only person here that somewhat likes me." Alex laughed too. "You're a good guy, Wes. I do like you, and I think Andy likes you too.. she did stand up for you after all, right?" Alex had heard Andy talking to that blonde, but she didn't know exactly what was said with being preoccupied with her Fathers letter. "I promise, that on my watch!? no one will hurt you again." she softly told him, rubbing the top of his arm before taking a seat in-front of him. She gently cupped his face now with both of her hands, looking at the bruising that was beginning to surface. "That Girl is a monster. On a scale of one to Ten.. how much does it hurt?"

ImageAjax had been in his own world, but the second he heard "Hey..." he knew who it was, and looked up to her. "Hey.." It was nice of her to check on him, so he wasn't about to turn her away. "Everything ok? - You know," she had added before he could think of an answer. "You're cuter when you smile." Ajax couldn't help but smile now, and chuckled during her cute little giggles. He wanted to tell her, she was after all probably the second person to trust here after his little sister.. but their father didn't want anyone to know about the letter, or the key. Why it was a secret, he had no idea.. But he was going to find out everything soon. "Better? he asked because he was now smiling. He nudged her gently with his arm, and slid up the bench closer to her before draping his arm around her shoulders. "Everything's fine.. I'm just at some crossroads in my life. I can't say what dad sent us in a letter.. but he wants me to visit him, with Alex. I'm not sure I want to see him." Ajax didn't hate him; hate him, but he didn't exactly like him either. He still had resentment towards Zeus for abandoning him, and Alex. "He doesn't deserve a son after everything he's done. He left us."

He couldn't remember one single moment in his life where his Father was even there for them, it had been his mother, and her boyfriend who took care of them. His step father had his own son too, which Ajax treated like a little brother. He knew his mother had a good eye for nice, decent people. They were amazing, so Ajax didn't mind that they were joining the family.

Interacting With: Wes Preston



Before she could walk away Wes stopped her, handing the bottle back to her. "Thanks Doc. But I have my own pain killers." Melissa just barely caught herself from making a snappy remark. From the aggravated look on his face she decided she had already done enough when she punched him. Watching him walk off Melissa shrugged before turning away. Going back into the kitchen Melissa grabbing her cookie scoop and went back to her task of scooping the dough onto trays. The task, while tedious and time consuming, enabled her to slip away from reality. Her thoughts wandering she looked back at all the things that had happened since she had entered the kitchen and a frown tugged at the corners of her lips. ‘Great, all my friends are gone and my first day back I make an enemy out of more people than I even know…’ Placing the first two trays into the oven and setting a timer Melissa sighed and started on the next set. It was then that Melissa realized she had at least doubled the recipe, leaving what would be at least another six trays worth of cookie dough in the bowl. ‘Well, guess I won’t be escaping to my cabin soon after all…’
Getting to work Melissa let her thoughts wander once more and immediately they went back to the moment Wes had made the comment to her. ‘I seriously need to curb my temper… it wasn’t even that big of a deal…’ As her thoughts drifted back to her earlier actions she tried to keep herself from thinking of her time before Camp Athens but couldn’t help herself. As the suppressed memories surged to the surface Melissa dropped the bowl and the cookie scoop in her hands, both landing on the counter with a bang. As the impact sent the bowl rolling off the counter and to the floor with a louder bang cookie dough splattered all over the counter and floor. Flinching away from the sound she wrapped her arms around herself as silent tears spilled down her cheeks and she sat down on the floor heavily.

Interacting With: Mel



After a long hour of trying to find perfect recipes for requests from campers and staff Adrian had enough of work and wanted to play. He slapped the stack of papers in the first drawer of his desk and shut off his computer manually before getting up to walk out of his office, as he opened his door he heard a loud crash, making his ears ring. Adrian turned the corner ready to scream at whoever broke another bowl. However his lips shut tight as he watched Mel sitting on the floor holding herself, he clenched his fists as his heart literally broke seeing her cry. He noticed that she seemed to not notice his presence, Adrian took advantage of the situation and looked around the kitchen for a giant soup bowl, once he found it he placed it upside down on the ground silently moving to grab two spoons. He sat in front of the bowl, a few feet from her. He started lightly banging on the drum, in a sort of melodical way, before he started to sing "King by Years & Years" in an attempt to calm Mel down. He didn't watch her as he sung at first, instead he focused on his beat, however as he felt eyes on him he looked up and watched her, singing with more meaning.

Once the song came to an end he smiled at Mel and cocked his head to one side. "Feel better?" He asked. "Cause if not I could fly you around?" He asked, his wings twitched at the thought of doing something semi romantic. He thought of a movie he saw when he was younger about a tiny girl the size of a thumb and a fairy prince. "I could totally be some girl's fairy prince.... Feathered prince..."

Interacting With: Hades/Herself




Jennova nodded and watched her brother leave, thinking that sooner or later she'd have to go see her father, she grabbed her duffle bag and closed her eyes thinking of the underworld, she hated traveling this way because it got her sick but it was the fastest. Within seconds she was in her father's chambers. She looked around, feeling his presences. "Before you say anything, I wanted to apologize for saving the son of Zeus. It will not happen again. I was wondering if I could have a second chance." Jennova zoned out as her father started his usual bullshit as he did saying he thought she was smarter than how she acted and how she disappointed him. "I'm willing to end my relationship to make you happy." She interrupted him.

"No.. That's too easy for you. I have something more satisfying to my needs." Hades spoke from the shadows. "You will recruit as many as you possibly can to join my army." Jennova's jaw clenched. "Go" He spoke again, sending her back to Camp herself. She ended up back at her cabin. Jennova sighed as she walked in, throwing her bag on the floor. She paced her living room, thinking How the hell am I going to convince anyone to join Hades.. This is going to suck. Don't ask your brother for help. You fucked up, you fix it. You DO NOT need help. Jennova was having a hard time convincing herself she could do this. Or that she could do anything for that matter. Jennova went into her kitchen and grabbed a wine glass, pouring herself a glass of wine and going to sit by her pool in her small back deck.

Interacting With: David Hughson and Seraphina Antoniou


“She knows you’re new” David whispered to her and Narissa flinched and gave the woman a sheepish grin. “Oh yeah. Sorry.” Narissa noticed the woman had a perplexed look on her face and flinched a bit but hid it behind a bright smile. After a few moments, though it seemed a lot longer, the woman responded. “How nice of him.” The woman paused again and this time the pause in conversation was noticeable as she looked over at David. Despite this, after a few more moments of awkward silence the woman gave David a brief nod.

The moment passed and the woman’s attention returned once again to Narissa, her expression kind “Well, welcome to camp newbie. I’m Seraphina, one of the Camp Staff, daughter of Hera. If you need help later with anything, don’t be afraid to ask, but I do need to get these groceries out of the heat and help get lunch started for the ‘horde’ – so, I am sorry, I do need to run. Happy cabin hunting though, and if worse comes to worse you can always grab a Artemis or Hera cabin for the mean time until you're more comfortable with the camp before making a more permanent cabin decision.”
Narissa gave Seraphina a bright smile in response. “Thanks! It’s nice to meet you.” At the offer of an Artemis cabin Narissa giggled since that was exactly where David had just offered to bring her a few minutes ago and she nodded. “Thank you so much. Good luck with all the cooking!” With that Narissa turned to look at David, assuming Seraphina would be leaving to go put away groceries and cook lunch. “So, which way are we going?” As she spoke to him her smile became a bit less forced and more genuine, the expression reaching her eyes.

Melissa stared straight ahead at nothing, not even noticing Adrian as he came into the kitchen. As he moved around the kitchen her arms tightened around herself, a trail of tears still going down her face. At first, when Adrian sat a few feet away from her and started to play the bowl like a drum, Melissa didn’t even notice but as soon as Adrian started singing her posture changed. As a spark of recognition entered her eyes Mel blinked a few times, slowly, before looking around herself. It took all of two seconds for her eyes to land on Adrian and immediately Melissa let her arms fall down, her hands landing in her lap.
Melissa almost jumped up but instead she focused on the guy near her, her eyes widening with unconcealed shock. Adrian and her had never been best of friends in fact, Melissa had often avoided him as to not have her baking obsession discovered. Yet, here he was, singing to her in his kitchen as she cried. As the thought entered her mind the song ended and Adrian spoke up. Feeling better? Cause if not I could fly you around? It was then that Melissa’s mind caught up to reality, causing her to snap into focus. Jumping up Melissa opened her mouth to snap at Adrian but then stopped, torn by his kindness.
Turning away from him Melissa swiped at her face quickly, trying to rub away the tears as she glared down at the counter top, which was spattered with cookie dough. In most cases she would have snapped at him or ignored him but after Adrian being so nice Melissa was thrown off. Her voice coming out barely above a whisper Melissa replied. “I’m fine. I just…” Melissa trailed off and looked around for an excuse to give him.
Seeing the bowl broken on the floor she pointed to it without looking back at him, knowing that she still had tear-stained cheeks and glassy eyes from crying. “I broke the bowl. I’m sorry. I’ll pick up the mess…”

After Narissa's multiple Thank yous', a Nice to meet you, a Good luck with all the cooking - Gods above, she could keep anyone on their toes apparently conversation wise - and Daniel's tight smile and nod of goodbye; Seraphina was finally 'free'. "I'll see you both later then," She hummed softly in simple farewell, and got on the move again... It did not take long, walking at an even pace and no one else on the trail to tell similar morning greeting's too, to reach the main building that housed the offices of the Camp Staff, the kitchens, and the 'mess hall' for the camp's meal times. It took far longer, however, after ignoring the light ache of her lower back to navigate the stairs up through the doors into the cafeteria and then into the kitchen, to move herself from her stunned frozen step across the boundary line as she observed the mess before her. ImageCookie dough had painted itself across a counter, cupboards, and floor tiles, and a shattered glass or plastic bowl lay in pieces under foot. Adrian already seemed to be handling it well enough, without need for intervention. Melissa seemed well, except for the faint tear tracks lining her cheeks, and was already offering to clean up her mess. So, Seraphina breathed an uneasy but relieved sigh, announcing her presence at the threshold with a genuine but gentle smile. "G'morning; Adrian, Melissa." She said lightly, her lips only slightly pursed. Before cautiously moving forward into the kitchen, watching her step, as she navigated across the debris with silent purpose to the large pantry to pile half of her bags there which consisted of non-perishables and placed the other half of perishables of meat or fresh vegetables/fruit unto a 'cleaner' corner of the counter until properly separated, divided, or cut up, and placed into refrigeration. She set herself to work, quietly putting things away into the organized pantry, quickly and efficiently - taking care to keep her muted curses about her height to a minimum, whenever she had to stretch to put something away.

OOC::|| @ UsernameGoesHere,
I don’t know if you still have Elsa Regions walking around the lake, but this is a response with Ilias’ as if she was still was.
Feel free to ignore, of course, if she has already finished her walk and has headed to the training grounds. Thank you~!

Ilias had a good morning so for, since, finally, reaching the ground. Orion and him had spent some time, ‘swimming’ in the shallows of the lakeshore nearby his mother’s cabin, before the pegasi was just too exhausted from the long journey they’d taken to continue going out to fetch the child whenever he’d gotten out into deeper water. The big black snorted, nudging gently at the small of the boy’s back, to continue moving him along – out of the swallow water, and unto the soft pebbled shore-line. Instead of pouting or causing a fuss, the boy had obliged. Upon reaching the dry shoreline, Orion had lied down, curling his limbs tightly underneath him but left his wings stretched out. Ilias observed with bright eyes, thoughtfully. "Scrub?” He finally gurgled, lake water still running down his chin from his soaked hair and hat. Orion flicked his ears in response, and it was an answer enough as the young boy wandered diligently away towards an old ice-chest nearby, and after cracking it open revealed a hearty handful of water toys, a first aid kit, and a bottles of what was probably sunscreen (but for him, it was close enough to shampoo for his needs). Ilias returned to the pegasi, with a sand castle bucket that he paused momentarily to fill with lake water and a bottle of ‘shampoo’ in hand, and set himself to work. If Orion had been any other color than black, Ilias might have accidentally dyed him a pinkish hue from using sunscreen as a shampoo. Regardless, the pegasi enjoyed the attention, snoozing peacefully and only opening a lazy yet watchful eye whenever Ilias left to get more water to wash him off… On one such trip, returning back to Orion, he noticed an approaching figure walking alongside the lake-shore. ImageIt wasn't anyone he immediately recognized from afar, or had been introduced to by his mother in the past weeks of her travels greeting new demigod families attending the Camp or one of the dourer funerals; but manners had been instilled, more or less (the terrible twos' had been rough, no doubt), in him by Seraphina' and so - A meaty fingered fist reached up to grasp his soggy hat and wave it a few times before plopping it back unto his dark mop, before calling out in greeting, "'Ello!" A small, crooked but friendly grin resting on his mouth.

Interacting With: Mel



As Adrian's song ended he stood, picking up the bowls he had taken down to play music on. He carefully put them back where he had found them and moved to clean the broken glass that Mel had said she was going to clean up. "No worries, darling." He spoke in a whisper. He looked at the gue of dough on the counter and then back up at her. "Why don't you finish what you have and then take the rest of the day off? I won't tell a soul." He smiled at her as he filled himself a glass of water and slowly drank, staring at her.

Adrian sat on a stool next to the table and watched Mel carefully. He knew she wasn't in the best conditions and he wanted to make sure she was going to be okay. "Or you could tell me what to do and I'll finish it." He suggested cocking his head to one side. Adrian looked to his feet as he started popping the cracks in his finger. Finger by finger, slowly as he could to make some kind of sound in the room around him. Adrian looked up when Seraphina walked into the kitchen , he nodded up at her, not realizing right away who she was but then standing up, knocking over his stool in the progress. "Sera! It's been a while!" He said as he wrapped his arms around her and gave her a big warm hug.

Interacting With: ...




Everything that was running through Jennova's head was a bit too much, she grasped the wine glass in her hand as she thought of how her life was about to fall apart. Evil spelled backwards was Live, however in all the stupid stories the heros always won, which meant she would die trying to win or she would win. If she played her cards right however, she could make Hades happy and just disappear. He wanted an army, so Jennova would give him an army. At whatever the cost was, however she would be very careful to trust certain people. She knew the Zeus offsprings were now her enemy. It didn't matter that she jumped in front of a blade for Ajax, he didn't care about her. Alex didn't care either, however no matter what happened in the past, nothing could change her destiny.

As Jennova thought of the people she truly cared about she grasped the wine bottle closely. Dave... Clare... Lilas... Adrian... Toby. Suddenly the wine bottle broke into pieces in her hand, however the woman didn't flinch, didn't drop the cup pieces, however the end of her glass fell to the ground, pieces falling into her pool. Warm liquid formed in her hand as she stared off into a distance, wondering what she was going to do about all those people she did care about. Would they join her? Did she even have friends or was she truly just the villain in everyone's eyes. Jennova looked down at the water, seeing her own reflection her heart broke into a million pieces. "You are a pathetic excuse of a person. Your death will be painful and slow." She whispered to the person staring back at her.

Melissa moved to go get a sponge and some other things to clean up the mess with as Adrian responded. "No worries, darling." Coming back with the stuff to clean up the mess Melissa started by pulling the trashcan over, starting to scoop up the splattered cookie dough and toss it into the garbage. "Why don't you finish what you have and then take the rest of the day off? I won't tell a soul. Or you could tell me what to do and I'll finish it." Melissa stopped and stared at him for a second a bit shocked but before she could answer the timer for the oven went off and she rose, grabbed oven mits and took out the two trays. Placing them on a clean counter Melissa grabbed the other two cookie trays she had finished before her freak out and put them in, setting the time once again. Turning back to Adrian, who had started to crack his knuckles, Melissa went to respond but Seraphina walked into the kitchen and she stopped. "G'morning; Adrian, Melissa." As Melissa wondered how long Sera had been standing there Adrian jumped from his stool, knocking it over, as he went to give her a hug. "Sera! It's been a while!" Both of them now in the pantry Melissa swiped away the remaining tears on her face and picked up Adrian's stool before returning to picking up her mess in silence.

Narissa didn't notice the other person until she had taken another few steps into the cabin. She was still staring up at the staircase and tree in amazement when the other demi-god spoke. "Well hello there." Jumping a bit Narissa's eyes flew to the other person in the room and she took a step back. Seeing the male shirtless with a toothbrush in hand and a smirk on his face, Narissa chuckled a bit, even as she looked him over appreciatively. Then, seeming to remember where she was and what she was doing she winced and gave him a sheepish smile. "I'm guessing this is your cabin?" She asked, taking another step back so that she was closer to the door. 'Good job Narissa, you managed to walk into the one cabin that was occupied. Hopefully he's not the type to freak out about it... he seems laid back enough...' Shaking her head, Narissa focused her attention back on the other person in the room.

Seraphina fully expected to have a quick, quiet moment, finishing placing the last few items within the pantry shelves, while Adrian spoke with Melissa about offering to help finish the cleaning and cooking for her – accompanied with the familiar sounds of the squeaking of the hinges of the oven door being opened and closed as batches of finished and waiting to be cooked cookies were exchanged. However, the mighty crash, from Adrian’s wooden stool being knocked over in some apparent rush, was enough to make her flinch with a sharp jerk of her shoulders. Gods above, what in the world! She paused momentarily, to peer warily, but inquisitively into the kitchen – only to be greeted with Adrian’s examination of “Sera! It’s been a while!” before being ‘swallowed’ (to be fair, he was at the very least a foot taller, and certainly more heftier than she was or would ever be) in one of his big, warm hugs, with an indignant, muffled, “Oh!

ImageAll though… It’d been a while? Well, Seraphina had only officially been gone two weeks, meeting and greeting the families of new demigods, making sure they’d be arriving in good order, and attending the latest funeral – which had made her a day late to the official opening of the summer camp. No, would be the correct, technical answer; but since the pair were a part of the small handful that tended to spend all year at the campgrounds’ – two weeks was a long time, especially for demigods, or old friends for that matter. So, she let the hug last a little longer than she normally would have, or had the patience for in dispelling her strong distaste of tight, dark, and/or confining spaces. Such things were hard to come by, even on good days…

Sera pulled back, finally free with a soft smile, "Ari, you do know in the interest of breathing, you really shouldn't squeeze so tightly when hugging?" She chided, gently; her tone of voice echoing the unsaid words of being thankful to be 'home' again and it was good to see him too - trusting he'd understand the meaning well enough. "Now shoo," She started lightly, waving the fingers of one hand towards him in a brushing away gesture, her friendly smile undiminished. "This pantry really isn't meant for this, and I've got groceries to finish putting away - before, I'll take lunch duty?" She offered, as it was only fair for her turn to begin since he'd already gotten most of 4-meals ready for the camp since it started already. Seraphina's warm eyes left his momentarily, to glance around him at Melissa silent but diligently still cleaning up the mess, she spared her a thankful and apologetic glance. The girl had had a rough life, and physical contact (especially from guys') was still a giant NO for the daughter of Ares - so Sera didn't want to upset Melissa with anymore unnecessary contact (even not directed towards her - bless Adrian's heart of course, but he did look awful bear-like when hugging), and felt a little remorseful exposing her to it.

Ilias' small, crooked but friendly grin, had since faded into an annoyed frown as the approaching figure didn't acknowledge him, his greeting hello, or the waving of his soggy hat. Manners may have been instilled in him by his mother, and the rough terrible twos' were over with, but it still did not mean he liked to be paid no attention to. Before he could rattle off a piece of his mind or some lackluster insult, Orion's soft snort grabbed his attention first as the black pegasi pulled himself up to stand with a bobbing head in the direction of the kitchens, and food, and Mum... "Okay, horsey." He hummed, successfully distracted. Before reaching out to cling to the Pegasi's tail, that yanked him forward as Orion lead the way back up the gentle slope, passing his mother's and his own cabin, on a common camp track, and headed towards the kitchens as the light began to fade from the sky and the spitting of rain from above seemed to go away as quickly as it had come.

It had been a long afternoon, after Adrian’s departure from the kitchen, busy with finishing stocking the panty, then chopping up the fresher items for refrigerator on the spare clean counter from the earlier cookie dough incident, and now finishing up an outdoor meal at the campfire tonight on her side of the kitchen – while Melissa finished up the cookie baking on the other side... ImageIt was a welcome distraction when Ilias finally appeared from his adventures ‘swimming’ in the lake, but unwelcoming in turn as Seraphina absently reached down to pick him up in greeting, only to freeze in instinctive motherly horror at the contact of wet, slime, and the strong odor of sunscreen, at the touch of her finger-tips. “You didn’t…” She muttered in fond exasperation, as Ilias piped up cheerfully in turn, “No!” “Not helping… Come on you,” Seraphina sighed, taking his hand to guide him through the kitchens and into the camp staff offices beyond. Upon entering her own office, she pulled open the bottom drawer of her desk, already prepared for such a situation with clothes for Ilias’ stuffed in it – she helped him get cleaned up and dressed in new, and more importantly DRY clothing, before returning to the kitchen to begin preparing items for travel from the kitchen to campfire with the boy hot on her heels... Eventually it was nearly time, with the sky growing dark as the sun started to pull lower on the horizon – and the skyline was decorated in sullen shades of purple and orange. Seraphina was more or less ready to go, but with Ilias underfoot wasn’t helping things move any more smoothly – so she grabbed a small basket already stuffed with rolls, that could handle the less than gentle care a three year-old might give them, before putting it into his meaty hands. ImageIlias, darling, here... Hold it this way, Thank you. Could you take that to campfire tables? Please, it’ll be your job, okay?” “Job? Ok, yes, mummy.” Ilias exuberantly finished as he departed the kitchens, which may or not have also made a chorus of heavy thumps down the stairway – causing her to wince, before calling out gentle, “Do be careful, and Orion…” A distant nicker sounded off in response, Thank the gods she could trust the winged horse to get her son and the rolls headed in the right direction... As the began to load up her own arms, which looking at it all she did not doubt the need to return for a second trip, unless - she spared a glance to her thus-far silent cooking / baking companion with a soft smile, that was one-part apologetic for Ilias' intrusion earlier. "Hey, Melissa, are you headed to the campfire tonight?"

"Hey..." Alex heard, causing her to look up. Andy walked to her, then bumped her shoulder into her, causing her to chuckle softly. "They're just guys." She leaned in to whisper softly, "Dress cute and he won't be able to ignore you even if he tried." Andy smiled towards Alex and gave her a wave before she jogged off towards her cabin. Alex was smiling too. She was right, and the thought of his face looking at her in the outfit would be picture perfect to her. Girls got major silly when it came to boys, so she got that perky little her back onto her feet before heading to her cabin. Hopefully her brother was in a good mood, because she didn't want him being the party pooper.

She had just gotten through the door, and placed her keys back into her pocket before looking towards her brother who had called out to her from hearing the front door. He had his towel around him still for now. "You're going to actually have fun tonight, right? because I want at least one normal stress free day. I don't fancy babysitting my big brother."

"You're going to actually have fun tonight, right? because I want at least one normal stress free day. I don't fancy babysitting my big brother." Ajax laughed because he knew exactly what she was on about. One time he had gotten drunk back at home, and Alex had to sit with him all night due to him drinking a little too much, but he was threatening to scale the roof naked, and knock on their neighbors doors. She couldn't blame him for celebrating with his friends like that, because that was the day he graduated from High school. It was the happiest day of his life as he hated it.. even if he was the most popular guy there.

"Al, I'm older now. I was young and stupid back then." He reminded her. "I know. Still funny though." they laughed and headed off to their rooms to get dressed.

ImageWith or without Melissa's help...
One trip from the kitchen to the shore-line had only been enough for one basket of rolls and the drinks (alcoholic and not, from whiskey to apple juice there was something for everyone to enjoy one could hope) in their rolling ice-chests to make it there, and barely enough time to start a fire, and set up the tables, pillows, blankets around the fire but at enough of a distance to allow for dancing to occur. Seraphina had returned to the kitchens for the second trip to bring back most of the food - this, or that, or anything else in between - in their own travel containers stacked high but secure on a dented, rusty, and old radio flyer wagon; and retrieved from her office before locking it and heading out the door, 'J.E.F.F' - which was an old beat up stereo box some Hermes kid had stolen or a Hephaestus kid helped fix at some point in time, an Apollo kid (with some Hermes assistance) had acquired a couple mixed CDs (from all genres, to time-periods, and other things in between, a wide taste-basis anyhow) for it to rotate playing through during campfire nights, and no one really knew anymore what it's name' acronyms stood for anymore. "I think that's everything, Orion, Ilias, except..." She frowned for a moment, down at her own appearance thoughtfully. She'd spared herself the time in the morning before leaving the families' home of the demigod funeral she'd attended to get a shower, before leaving for groceries and to return home to camp finally after her two week long trip, so she was alright in that department; but her clothing was well travel-worn and she had not had the chance between arrival to setting up the campfire to change into something better serviceable for a party. Exhausted as she was from the long day so far, she still had one trick up her sleeve to solve that dilemma before anyone else saw her; a moment of concentration, and the clothing she studied shifted - the jacket, shirt, and pants changed into a beach-appropriate dress, the wrist watch became bangles, etc - the perks of 'camouflage'. She reached up to remove the African butterfly hair-clip that pinned up her hair into a messy bun, freeing the long curls and hopefully hiding her errant stray aways. "Ready." Orion snorted, before grasping the rope tied unto the handle, and began pulling; while Seraphina stayed beside the stacked food items, to keep their balance and keep them from falling; and Ilias brought up the rear, dragging an empty box behind him labeled 'shoes' (for those that preferred not to have sand in their shoes and socks, and could remove them at the separation of grass and sand if they wanted to).
<--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
Image

"Thank you Orion," Seraphina whispered as they arrived, and the black Pegasi nickered softly in return, before heading back into the shadows - more than likely to return to her cabin to graze, or nap - and would return later to help her clean up after the campfire. "Ilias, leave the shoe box there, and oh, here," She paused, slipping off her flats, that Ilias grasped in childish excitement to dunk into the box with his own tennies and socks with Nemo characters printed on them. "Now, you want to wait here? I'll come get you?" "Ook." Ilias hummed, as he sat down on his rump, picking at his shirt. While the boy was eager to meet and make new friends, the sheer amount of demigods already congregating (half of which were new that he hadn't meet yet, or didn't recognize right away in the darkness lit only by the campfire) made him nervous; and he liked the job of being 'in charge' of the shoe box... Seraphina knew him well enough, he'd prefer to wait for her return.

She grasped a armful of containers, before moving to one of the first nearby tables, that already had a couple demigods sitting around it - she already knew Daniel, and two others were new but she had probably met their mortal parents, had their paperwork in her office, and their names rattling around somewhere in her head - with a soft smile and nod of greeting, before getting down to business and began setting down and uncovering food items down upon it. It was quick enough work, "Ah. This feels spiritual. We should all hold hands and chant." "Or you could set up J.E.F.F... Unless sporadic shifts of spiritual silence and chanting suit your fancy better?" Seraphina murmured lightly in return, before breezing unto the next table - not patronizing, or demanding, but rather simply stating an obvious point gently. She'd get around to setting up the music eventually, but it would be a bit of time until then while she unloaded the little red wagon of food unto the tables. A quick mind could only get around so quickly with only having two hands...

After Adrian had left Melissa had cleaned up her mess in silence and made another batch of cookies to add to the ones already cooking. Melissa instinctively paying attention to everything going on in the room noticed that Seraphina had overloaded herself a bit. 'She should have asked Adrian to stay and help her... Making so many different types of food for so many people is going to be hard to keep up with...' During the time they were cooking Melissa tried to help a bit without Seraphina noticing; switching the trays of cookies just before the time went off, flipping burgers, and washing fruit, when her back was turned. Though Melissa doubted Seraphina didn't notice she felt better helping in small ways, unannounced. "Hey, Melissa, are you headed to the campfire tonight?" Though Melissa hadn't planned on going she was hungry so she figured she could go just to help carry stuff and then eat which is what she responded to Seraphina.

After helping carry everything she noticed Seraphina change but, after briefly looking at her clothing, decided her skinny jeans and black crop top were fine. Helping set up the bonfire area was easy and Melissa did so without being asked. Once everything was just right Melissa looked up and around to see that people had already started to show up, a few of them looking to have been there at least 5-10 minutes. Her gaze going from place to place Melissa noted her half sister in the crowd and the kids of Zeus as well. Satisfied with her work and knowing it would get crowded soon Melissa went to go stand by the bonfire, wanting a few moments before she forced herself to leave.

As she approached the large crackling fire she let her thoughts drift and didn’t even notice Wes until she was a few feet away. Her mind registering the sight of another person she immediately focused her thoughts only to visibly wince when she recognized the guy she had punched earlier. Despite the fact that he had to have seen her Melissa immediately turned on her heels, silently praying he would ignore her.

At Theo's mention of the bonfire Narissa immediately brightened up, excitement shining in her eyes. "Really? I didn't think this was the type of place I'd be able to party at. Who knew." When the part about it being on the beach registered Narissa made sure her expression and demeanor didn't change. Following after him once Narissa reached the bottom and saw him grab a shirt she realized that she had never checked out that cabin. "Shit... I might have to meet you there. I still haven't found a cabin." Shaking her head at herself Narissa headed towards the door, secretly glad she had found a way out of it. "I guess I'll see you around?"

"How about a game of Truth or Dare?... Summer camp wouldn't be camp without inappropriate unsupervised games with alcohol!" Wesley had called to the world. Jennova raised a brow at David, meanwhile he rolled his eyes. "You sure you aren't psychic?" "I wish I wasn't." Things only got worse though when Jenn hooked her arm in his "We're game!" she announced loud enough and dragged him towards the game. "What the hell?" he hissed at his sister then straightened up as the group gathered. He didn't think anyone would buy into him actually being excited about a game of Truth or Dare but Jennova had dragged him along for the ride now.
So he could only grit down and endure it. Maybe he'd get to laugh at the stupid shit people did in the name of a dare.

He nodded along with Ajax. "I'm not going to hurt Andy, which is why I won't give her false intentions. I'll always be honest with her." That was odd and cryptic since neither boy announced their intentions with the other's sister. Instead they simply stated common courtesy to not hurt the other. But Daniel didn't push it. He didn't want to.

ImageThen was about the time Wes called for a Truth or Dare game. And Daniel being Daniel was in no position to refuse a good game. That was where all the interesting chaos happened.
Andy slung an arm around Daniel's shoulders. "What's going on?" And then a weird exchange over him to Ajax. At first he was confused,but he didn't want to push it or even bother to know about tension in paradise. "Uh, well Wesley over here, has just suggested a truth or dare game." He pressed his tongue to his cheek brainstorming what he would like others to do. "And I dare you, to skull the rest of that drink." Of course that wasn't a real dare. That was just a warm up one for Andy until both the children of Hecate got in their zones. Nothing for the group to sit and stare at.

Once Melissa had put a good amount of distance between herself and Wes she contemplated whether or not she should leave the party. It didn't take her long to make her decision as more people arrived from the cabins. Just as she was about to leave the wind blew right in her face and the smell of food caused her stomach to grumble.
Sighing Melissa walked to the food tables and grabbed a plate, putting some random foods on it before going to an empty picnic table. At first Melissa ate in peace, the party being surprisingly quiet but that didn't last long. Halfway through eating Melissa heard Wes shout out to what seemed to be the party in general. "How about a game of Truth or Dare?"
Jumping up from her seat Melissa threw her plate away and quickly headed in the direction of the woods, wanting nothing to do with the game and intending to return to her cabin.

█▐ ♔┊"Well Alex, I'm sure you already know this but I'm a son of Artemis. And yes I'm enjoying the party. I actually just got here. Mommy dearest made me come." as he made a face at the words mommy dearest, Alex chuckled and smiled with her pearly whites on show. How come I feel like I've met him before? his next question broke her from her thoughts. "Hey you want a drink? I grabbed strawberry and grape... or you could help me finish off my vodka" Alex wasn't too keen on the Vodka. She had tasted it once before, but it needed some flavor to it. "You're adorable.. I'll take the strawberry please." she took it from him gently. "Thanks, handsome." she clinked her bottle against his, and took a drink from it with a slight smirk to the corner of her lips as her eyes remained on Theo's. Image

She could feel her brothers eyes burning into her, judging her for flirting with someone else. Confusion was probably on his mind at this point, because didn't she like Daniel? Alex had been ignored when she passed, she wasn't Daniel's girlfriend, so why couldn't she flirt with another guy? Daniel and Alex had no intentions of being anything but 'a thing' - if he wanted to flirt with some other chick at camp, then he could. Alex didn't own him or anything. Though she probably would be jealous.

Wes had put his right hand up to his mouth to grab Alex's attention. She turned to look at him, and saw him waving his hand for her to go towards the fire. "You coming, Theo? I heard truth or dare is going to be played. You can sit by me if you want to." she was excited for this game already, but a little worried about the truths. There was no way she was going to over share with the group. Some things had to remain secret.


Image Alex gently took Theo's hand, and lead him towards the campfire to join in the game with everyone else. Hopefully this was going to be all kinds of dares and truths. Alex was a daredevil just like her brother, so there was probably going to be no dare she wouldn't do. If they asked her to strip naked!? bring it on.

"Al, are you game?" her brother asked her once she was there, her hand still holding Theo's. "Hell yeah."

█▐ ♔┊Ajax had to admit, he wasn't liking how Theo took an interest in his little sister, and that Alex was flirting with him. Ajax heard that Theo was a bit of a womanizer. He expected it from Wes with him being the son of Aphrodite, so he had no choice to be that way.. but he wasn't Alex's father, and he couldn't tell any guy what to do, but if anyone hurt her!? then they'd soon learn and know the wrath of Zeus.

Ajax now knew that he preferred Daniel for Alex over anyone, because at least Daniel wasn't all over other women. He may be a little playful e.t.c, but his complicated feelings were for Alex mainly. "Hell yeah" she had replied to him, causing Ajax to smirk. His sister was always up for a challenge like him, and that in itself was a challenge because they would try outdo each other every time with practically anything. It had always gone on since they were kids.


Image Ajax left Daniel with Andy after giving her a smile, and wandered towards the campfire before taking his seat near Alex who was now waving Wes over to come sit with her and Theo. He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the Hade's kids making their way over. He wasn't happy about their presence, but having them participate was going to make it even better. "So who's first? and is everyone here?" Ajax shouted while looking around at everyone gathered at the campfire so far. He was slightly drunk already, but at least he wasn't too drunk like a few years back when Alex had to look after him.

In no time they were moving back to the fire to oversee the hype the boys had caused. Trinity took her time dawdling back to the fire because they didn't exactly need to be tackled down at the current time and she didn't see the hurry anyway.

ImageTrinity rocked up just in time to catch the word that truth or dare was in play and recommended by no other than Wes. Why wouldn't he? It was the perfect excuse to drink more, pash random girls and that was dream enough for lover boy. She bent down and undid her boots, prepared to join despite the bad idea it was already cooking up to be in her mind. But she also saw Melissa bailing quickly too. Body is basically art. Tattooed chick. She hit Wes!? And Trinity was going solo in truth or dare, without any tag team or secret alliance? Trinity placed her empty bottle down then ran after her half sister, cutting her off just before her cabin.

"You're gonna leave a sister all alone? Come on," she gestured back to the fire. "Have a drink. Unwind. Get on good terms with Ken. And seeing as you have breasts, you're already half way there." She smiled tightly. But rather than stick around too long for Melissa's response, she began jogging back to the fire. The girl could make her own call. No descendant of Ares could be pushed into something they didn't want to do.

Trinity sat on her own once she reached the beach again. Far as she knew, those who wanted a piece of challenge were present.

"You're adorable.. I'll take the strawberry please." she took it from him gently. "Thanks, handsome." she clinked her bottle against his, and took a drink from it with a slight smirk to the corner of her lips as her eyes remained on Theo's.

Well she's definitely flirting back... Theo thought as he let his own smirk play on his lips. He took a swig of his vodka, a pretty big one in order to show off. He shook off the awful after taste with a shiver and another funny face. She didn't really catch it though. Theo followed her gaze towards her brother. Ajax was staring pretty hard. Not like Theo was doing anything, so he shrugged it off. He did need to talk to Ajax about this war thing soon. Theo might be a cocky asshole sometimes, but he knew what side he was on. He was completely behind the children of Zeus, and he would prove that in time.

Just then a whistle called everyone to the fire for a game of truth or dare. Theo was never one to turn down a dare. "You coming, Theo? I heard truth or dare is going to be played. You can sit by me if you want to." Alex was practically beaming at the idea of the game.
"Sure, I'm down." Theo said with his head back to show his confidence. Alex took him by the hand and they walked towards the fire. As people were gathering, Theo once again caught Ajax's stare. He shook it off. He had no ill intentions with Alex... at least not tonight anyways. He didn't want to be the same old person anyway. This was a new beginning for him. He saw that now. Theo broke away from the deep thoughts and prepared himself mentally for whatever dare might come his way.

"What the hell?" David growled towards her as she dragged him to a seat beside her. She couldn't but laugh evilly while shooting him a taunting wink. "You never know, you could actually enjoy yourself if you tried..." Jenn slipped her arm out from the bend in his after he sat down beside her. She then took a sip of her beverage before holding it towards her brother, "Hmm?"

Jennova knew that he was pissed that she forced him to get involved but honestly she didn't know many people who would want to try and anger a Hades child. So she assumed people would tip toe around them or avoid involving them at all. After a moment or 2 she leaned over towards him, playfully elbowing him, "Hey you never know the stupid things someone may have to do or the juicy secrets that could come spilling out... Could be fun?"

As she sat there waiting for the game to start she saw Alex leading a different male other than Daniel by the hand towards the camp. She clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth before leaning into whisper in David's ear. "Moving on already? Or... Do you think she's trying to make him jealous?" She kept her gaze intent on Theo. She hadn't seen him before but she'd be lying if she said he wasn't attractive. Probably not her type but had the potential to be easily manipulated.

Andy watched Ajax as he returned the smile. At least he smiled back. The gesture made her smile grow slightly as she looked down at her feet. It wasn't long after than Daniel answered her question. "Uh, well Wesley over here, has just suggested a truth or dare game." She raised her brows curious and already preparing to play. Sounded more fun than just standing around drinking. Before she had a chance to reply, Daniel added, "And I dare you, to skull the rest of that drink." Andy smirked, quickly chugging her drink before slamming the bottle against his chest. "You know its not a real dare if you don't ask me truth or dare first."

Andy laughed but quickly stopped when she saw Alex bringing another camper towards the fire, holding his hand. She cleared her throat, looking down at her hands then looked over at Daniel. She didn't quite know her brother would react. Obviously they both had some amount of feelings for each other, but she could only assume that seeing a girl you liked holding another guys would hurt. Although Andy knew something was up with Ajax, it'd still hurt if she saw him flirting with someone else.

Trying to brush it off and not show too much concern, Andy grabbed Daniel's hand, nodding her head towards the fire. "Sit with me?" She didn't really wait for a response. Instead she gently pulled him along with her as she took a seat on a bench beside David. After sitting she looked over towards him smiling. "Hey. How are you?" She turned her gaze towards the fire, but still talked towards him. "Didn't see you at training today. I thought I was the one who got beaten up by the minotaur." She laughed softly looking back over at him. "Thanks again for the help with that last night."

Wes grinned towards Alex as she returned towards the campfire. He over heard Ajax talking to her, "Al, are you game?" "Hell yeah." He laughed, winking towards her. "Glad you're joining us. It wouldn't be fun if I didn't drag you down with me, beautiful."

Wes raised a brow slightly as Ajax waved for Wes to come over and join them. Without hesitation he joined the group but Wes wasn't subtle about anything. He stood facing the small space between Alex and Theo. So of course, he turned around and wiggled his way into the seat between them. Once comfortable he let out a comfortable sigh before looking over towards his buddy Alex. "Sup buddy?" He then grinned towards her, then up at Ajax sending him a sly wink.

"So who's first? and is everyone here?" Wes glanced around, and at first there wasn't any takers. So he rose his hand before speaking. "I guess I'll go... After all I suggested it." He glanced around at all the campers with a menacing grin, coming to a stop when he was looking down at Alex. "Bestie dearest... Truth or Dare?"

█▐ ♔┊He laughed, then winked at her for being game. "Glad you're joining us. It wouldn't be fun if I didn't drag you down with me, Beautiful." Alex chuckled. "Partners in crime, right?"she couldn't wait for this game to get started, and as Wes wiggled his way inbetween herself, and Theo, she had to smirk at her bestie with her eyes on him. She knew exactly what he doing, and she loved it knowing that she had Wes and her brother to look out for her. "Sup Buddy?" he grinned, and winked towards her brother. Yep, he was definitely doing what she thought he was doing. "Come on you handsome dork, get on with it." she laughed, elbowing in his ribs lightly.Image

"Bestie dearest... Truth or Dare?"

"Trust you to pick me first." She playfully narrowed her eyes on him. Alex couldn't believe how much this place had grown on her, and the best friend she could finally appreciate and care for. This campfire party was a good idea with everything that had been going on before, but the tattooed female didn't think so. Anti-Social much? maybe she just had too much going on and didn't feel like partying, but she wasn't even giving it a chance.


Image "Okaaay, Mmm.. Dare."

She thought she might as well start it off this way, because she didn't fancy sitting around this camp fire and sharing her entire thoughts, or things about her past etc. That information was reserved for those she trusted, and that was her brother, Wes, and Daniel. It was hard to get her trust, so if anyone broke it!? then they'd have to spend a life time to get it back. Almost.

█▐ ♔┊Oh this was going to be good since his sister picked dare, and he didn't miss the wink from Wes as he wriggled himself into place which made Ajax smile. He knew for a fact that if he wasn't around to watch Alex, then Wes certainly would, because those two had become really good friends in no time. Alex was the first girl that was able to not feel herself become weak at the knees infront of him. It wasn't because he wasn't attractive, because he is.. she just didn't see him in that way.

Image

He looked around the campfire at the others until his eyes rested upon Andy as the fires warm flames glowed against his face. She was sat with her brother and looked gorgeous in what she was wearing. Even though he was being distant from her, she still looked happy because she was strong. He liked that about her the most.

Melissa made her hasty retreat off the beach and about 50 yards into the woods before Trinity caught up to her. Stopping as her half-sister jumped in her path, Melissa listened with a blank look. "You're gonna leave a sister all alone? Come on." As Trinity gestured back to the fire Melissa glanced back, her blank look changing to exasperation. "Have a drink. Unwind. Get on good terms with Ken. And seeing as you have breasts, you're already half way there." As the blonde raced back off Melissa let out a huff. While her sister didn't seem to realize it Melissa cared for her quite a bit and since they rarely spent time together Mel liked to take advantage of the few chances she got. Turning back around Mel walked over to a table with bottles liquor on it and looked over the labels. Glancing at the group her sister had joined she noticed quite a few people gathering there. Grabbing a bottle of vodka Melissa opened it and took a drink from it as the game started.

"Bestie dearest... Truth or Dare?" Sitting down at the picnic table the bottles were on Melissa watched the game from afar. As everyone seemed to focus on the game Melissa checked the alcohol percentage and seeing that it was at 40% grabbed another bottle, this one peach flavored, and headed towards the group. Dropping onto the ground next to Trinity, Melissa sat down right as Wes spoke. "I dare you... To remove your panties and hand them off to whomever of your choosing." Melissa paused for a moment, looking at Wes silently, before taking a deep swig from the open bottle of vodka. Afterwards she made a bit of a face and set the second, unopened bottle in her lap, not making a single comment or remark.

ImageWhat she felt was beyond awkward hearing Wes’ dare for Alex. But again she scolded herself for being taken back by his proposal or “dare” for a girl to strip. Why wouldn’t he abuse such a game for his gain and pleasure...and likely so many other males'? Trinity glared off in the other direction. But at least she had Melissa join her. Trinity watched her sister hit the bottles relentlessly and frowned. But cutting her supply would probably only end in worse consequence so she shook it off with not much else to do. Was everybody else really not bothered that a girl had to take off her underwear in front of everyone and hand them to whoever she wanted? Trinity's eyes scanned the group's expressions. Apparently not. She rubbed her temple and looked off as Alex took aboard the dare. This was exactly why she avoided these stupid gatherings and instead chose to train, putting her mind, muscles and susceptibility to aggravation to more effective use.

"You punched that guy?" Trinity asked Mel lowly and gestured to Wes with a head nod. For once Trinity would have sadistically liked to of heard how he got his ass kicked. Any war/violent story to help the time pass.

Daughter of Poseidon || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Curious

Viviane had left as soon as she had arrived. With her mom falling dangerously ill, she had rushed back home to help her step-father take care of her mother. Thankfully Viv had water healing capabilities which she used to restore her mother's health. At first being back home felt kind of nice, being back in the presence of familiar faces and all, but after the first two weeks of returning home she was itching to get back to camp to resume her training and meeting new people.

She was back, finally. Looking over her warmly lit cabin brought a smile to her face. Her father had requested she get one by the lake so that he could visit her when he could, and she was glad he had. It was perfect. Nothing pleased her more than being by the water.

Stepping onto her back dock, she sat plunging her feet into the cool clear water. Off in the distant by the beach she saw a flickering light. Must be a fire. Wonder who's there. As anxious as she was to get back into the swing of things and make new alliances and reunite with old ones such as Alex, Ajax, and Trinity, she stayed where she was gazing longingly into the distance.

█▐ ♔┊The look on his face said it all. She could tell that he was going to brew up a dare that was going to be epic, and she couldn't take it back. Not now. He grinned at her words. "But of course you'd choose dare... I figured as much." as he finished his drink, he held his gaze on her causing her to twist her jaw slightly as she held her eyes on his and smiling. The pit of her stomach was regretting her choice, but she wouldn't back down. It's not in a Valis to back down.

ImageWhen he addressed her brother, every inkling she had was confirmed. This dare was going to be a tough one. Maybe Wes was going to come up with a dare that even a Valis would refuse? "Alex my dear friend. Thank god you wore a dress." He winked towards her. Uh-Oh. "I dare you... To remove your panties and hand them off to whomever of your choosing." Alex laughed and covered her face with her hands as she hunched over a little, then flicked her head back up with her hair following. Wes had chuckled while resting his hands in his lap as he patiently waits.

She glanced to her brother who gave her a look of 'I'm not pleased with this one' but it was only a game. Screw it. "You're on.." she told him confidently, then stood up to her feet in-front of everyone, and slipped her hands under her dress discreetly before wiggling her hips a little with her toosh whilst sliding her panties all the way down, then carefully stepped out of them without showing... parts. Now who to hand them to? Ajax hadn't watched at all, he couldn't, so he just took another drink from his beer while glancing around at the others.

Without a seconds thought, Alex handed her panties to Wes. She was smirking as she dangled them in-front of him, swinging them from side to side. Bet no-one was expecting that though.

█▐ ♔┊When he saw the shock on others faces, he looked to see who his sister had chosen. Wow. Plot twist! he leaned back slightly against the tree behind him with his right shoulder against the trunk as he watched the rest of the game silently. It was Alex's turn to pick someone to ask now. "Truth, or dare?" he heard her asking Andy. The other would get their turn no doubt, but they'd be lucky if they didn't because you were kind of on the spot for coming up with something decent, or fun.

Image It was going to be tough for him for a while since he needed to get the image of his sisters panties out of his damn head. That isn't in some weird incest way where he finds it.. he just didn't want that image in his head. Period. Scarred for life. No doubt it would be other guys greatest day to know that Alex wears lace underwear. In red.

Anyway, his eyes were trained on Andy to see what she'd pick.

David was happy with the idea of ruling the Underworld at some stage, and he knew Mount Olympus was another league but that's why it was so amusing. By force or some other odd coming, ruling Mount Olympus could still be in Hades reach, or so David liked to think. So instead of snapping at his sister on his emphasis on imagine, he stated calmly, "I like to keep an open mind."

Image"Oh?" Now he had some peaked interest in what his training looked like. "What kind of training do you do then?... Well if you don't mind me asking." David wouldn't have minded sharing with Andy. Necromancy, ghosts, soul transportations, etc was nothing extreme to Hecate's children but then she continued. "You're not like... Sacrificing kittens are you? Because I mean... Thems fightin' words." David smiled a little and shook his head, observing the game or more so the people around it.

Andy answered on her own body's condition which in two words was well enough. She wasn't sulking and she was moving free enough so David only had to take her word for it. Still, what she did was cool.

"So..." Andy shifted causing David to glance to her. "Do we actually think that anyone is going to call on us? I'd put money on it that we don't." David shrugged indifferent on the matter.

David scratched the back of his neck. He hadn't been very verbally responsive to Andy but he didn't mind the girl's company. So after a moment, he spoke again, "If I sacrificed kittens would you view me differently?" He asked Andy, paused then revealed a joking smile.

Soon enough, Minotaur Girl was called upon making him shift and turn more to Jennova so she could feed the public eye with her truth or dare. "You missed a lot, Jenn."

Daniel dramatically rolled his eyes at his sister's sass. He just wasn't familiar that the new bonding experience these days was to take down a minotaur together or tame it. If that was the case then he was sure he'd bonded with Trinity swimmingly, and could probably bond with the relatively new Poseidon girl if he placed Kraken in the lake or something.

"So...Do we actually think that anyone is going to call on us? I'd put money on it that we don't." Please. Where would this lot be without the Hecate children spicing up their lives? Daniel glanced to Andy. "It'd be a very dull game if they didn't," he replied. And that was him being modest. And slightly bothered Alex had the hots for every guy on camp. That would take some adjusting to.

His mind hit blank as Alex was dared to remove her panties and he watched and waited for her response. There was a bit of shifting and nervous laughter but she rose from her seat and followed through, wiggling gently out of them until the material gathered around her ankles and she stepped out of it. Red lace. What a choice. Was she expecting to get lucky tonight or just had good underwear sense of fashion? Then she dangled them in front of Wes. Lucky guy. He took a swig from his bottle where Andy was challenged to a truth or dare. "Told ya." Daniel said after swallowing the burning liquor down his throat.

"I like to keep an open mind." Jennova raised a brow in slight surprise, chuckling before responding. "I never thought I'd see the day where David more optimistic than myself." She shook her head before taking a sip of her drink.

Jennova couldn't help but watch her brother and Andy talk from the corner of her eyes. Although it seemed that Andy was doing more of the talking. But the girl didn't even seemed surprised that he was quiet and slow to respond. Wow, someone who actually likes David with his awkward disposition.

Trying not to eaves drop for too long, she looked away and back towards Wes and Alex. She rolled her eyes at the dare. Such a typical male. She was impressed that Alex did it without a second thought. Jennova leaned forward, resting her elbows upon her knees, curious to know who she'd pass her panties off to. Theo? David? Someone else? Jenn laughed when she held them out for Wes. With that she took another sip of her drink. She heard Alex then choose Andy, and not long after David shifted his attention back towards her. "You missed a lot, Jenn." "So I've noticed..." She tapped a finger upon her drink, "I guess I shouldn't wonder off so much."

Wes watched Alex laugh and hide her face. He caught a glimpse of Ajax's expression. It was obvious he wasn't happy about it. But it was just a game... And it's not like he was making her get naked or kiss someone. After all Alex is his friend, he wasn't going to be cynical. "You're on..." Wes nodded his head towards her as he leaned back slightly and waited.

Wes gave his friend the decency to look away as she shimmied out of her panties. He didn't see her in that way and didn't want to see any that was private. After a moment he looked back over seeing her grab the panties that were around her ankles. This was the part he was curious about, who to give them to. He was taken by surprise when he saw the red laced fabric dangling in front of him. Wes did a double take, laughing. He probably was blushing, he wouldn't doubt it one bit.

Clearing his throat, before taking another drink. He then reached out to take the panties from her. "Well that was a plot twist..." He shifted in his seat as he slipped them into his pocket. "I may have to frame these." Wes teased. He watched as Alex then chose Andy. Well this is going to be fun.

Andy hadn't noticed she was kinda rambling and David was just smiling and nodding his head. At least she didn't scare him away, it was just how she is. When she finally stopped to breath he spoke up, "If I sacrificed kittens would you view me differently?" He then gave her a joking smile. This caused her to laugh. "Well yeah... You can't save a minotaur then sacrifice kittens." She bumped him with her elbow.

Her brother got her attention when he spoke, "It'd be a very dull game if they didn't," Andy laughed, "Maybe if they don't call on you... I'd be content if they didn't call on me." Apparently she spoke wayyyy too soon because she quickly did a double take when Alex said towards her, "Truth or Dare?" Andy laughed nervously. "Told ya." She looked over at Daniel, glaring daggers at him. "Shut up."

Andy brought her drink up to her lips, chugging the remaining contents, before setting it down on the ground. Truth was the easy way out but there were things that she'd not want to answer for everyone here to know. Then there was dare... More ballsy but she could also get dared to do something she didn't want to do. Choices. Andy sighed, burying her face in her palm. "...Dare." She peaked up between her fingers to look over at Alex.

█▐ ♔┊The look on his face that was taken by surprise when he saw the red laced fabric dangling in front of him, was the perfect picture. He did a double take while laughing, and she could of sworn she saw his cheeks flush a little red. Perfect. As he began to clear his throat before taking another drink, Alex was trying so damn hard not to grin with laughter. She had turned his dare right back on him, but she was impressed with how well he dealt with it. He had reached out to take the panties from her. "Well that was a plot twist..." As he shifted in his seat, he slipped them into his pocket. "I may have to frame these." Wes teased. "Pervert." she laughed while saying it.

Image Then turned her attention onto Andy who had picked dare. Alex didn't want to put the girl on the spot like this, but she didn't want to seem predictable by picking the one guy she really liked. "Okay, don't hate me for this.." she cringed slightly before taking a mouthful of her drink and swallowing it before giving the dare. "I dare you.." she looked around the campfire at the other players. "..to kiss Trinity. On the lips." Alex was going to say David first, but this was more entertaining for the boys. Especially Wes no doubt. "Sorry.." she added while looking to Trinity, then Andy.

To be fair, it was the only dare she could think of that popped up in the top of her head, and this game wouldn't be fun if there weren't any challenging dares involved.

█▐ ♔┊Ajax let the panties framed comment go as he didn't want to spoil their night of fun and games, so instead he went around handing out drinks to those who had just arrived, and those who hadn't managed to grab a drink yet before wandering over to Sera. "You need any help?" he offered, and then ruffled her sons hair with his hand, smiling down at the little man.

Image

It was a bit unfair at the moment that Camp Athens was understaffed, and Ajax had been here long enough to know enough about the place to even apply as a staff member himself, but he didn't have the time with training and looking out for his little sister who in his eyes!? was still the baby of the family.

Daughter of Poseidon || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Cautious

A roar of noise sounded from the general location of the fire. Her curiosity and want to rejoin the group had gotten the best of her. "Fuck it," she mumbled to her self. It was either now or more of this brooding nonsense. Fixing her hair atop her head she ventured over to the beach. Briefly she thought of how they would all react to her sudden appearance. It wasn't exactly like she had given a formal goodbye in the first place. Perhaps they wouldn't even recognize her. Maybe this is a good fresh start.
ImageInstead of walking all around the lake and through the dense woods, she decided to just walk over the water. Being Poseidon's daughter came in handy in more than just for the obvious reasons. What was she even going to say when she approached them all. For sure they were probably already in the middle of a rowdy conversation by the jeers and laughs she heard. Maybe she should just turn around and try again tomorrow. No. Her pride wouldn't allow her to sulk back to her cabin. This was happening now.
As she approached the group she saw some familiar faces and some new ones. And she saw underwear. This was a whole lot more than what she expected. She also heard something about truth or dare. "This looks interesting... hi everyone," she said bashfully from the outer region of the group. Looking over to a cooler she grabbed a beer and made her way closer. "I really need this," she said before taking a swing. A little liquid courage never hurt.

Trinity looked away as Alex accepted her dare but it was a bit of a wonder who she'd hand her token to. Trinity looked back in time to see Wes receive them which wasn't that much of a surprise, though she did expect Daniel to be a contender. Trinity glanced to him but he didn't look bothered, then again he wasn't smiling and laughing or smirking as he usually was.

Image She kinda zoned out somewhere along the lines just drumming her fingers absently on her legs. It was a nice night to be out tonight. Good weather, soothing sound of waves crashing on shore. Until she caught her name in conversation. Or was it a dare? She thought she heard kiss too. Trinity glanced to her sister for confirmation then Andy. She'd say they were good with each other but not at all on those kind of terms. But most of all she felt sorry for Andy. All the handsome guy range present and Alex dares Andy to kiss her. Not the ideal dare a new girl wants. People were so cruel in these games.

Trinity pulled a face that said sorry to her. On plus news, she hadn't had anything bad to eat that would taint her breath. And hopefully wouldn't be too awkward about it.

Trinity looked to Viviane who had chosen to join the party and grab a beer. "I really need this." And Trinity wouldn't argue with that. These kinda games required a little alcohol in the system for a boost. She saluted her greetings to the daughter of Poseidon that disappeared yesterday and reappeared today.

"Okay, don't hate me for this.." Andy brought her drink up to her lips, taking another long drink. Oh lord, here we go. "I dare you.." She sighed shaking her head. It's bad enough she has to do whatever is said.... But the anticipation. She just wanted the dare so she could get it over with. "..to kiss Trinity. On the lips... Sorry" Andy laughed shaking her head. "You can't say sorry after giving the dare..." She laughed halfheartedly, before finishing off her drink and standing up. Alex was smart saying 'on the lips' because if she didn't Andy would have just kissed Trinity's hand.

Andy walked slowly walked around the campfire to where Trinity was sitting. When the blonde gave her an apologetic smile, she just returned it with her own silent sorry. When she came to a stop before Trinity, Andy looked over to Alex flipping her the bird playfully. "I'd expect a dare like this from Wes, but not you." She laughed softly. She then brushed her hair behind her ears while sighing heavily.

Smiling weakly, Andy moved to crouch before Trinity since the blonde was sitting down. She rested her hands on either side of Trinity as she began to lean in. Quick and painless... Like ripping off a bandaid. She sighed softly before closing the distance, pressing her lips to the blondes. She held it there for a moment so that she didn't get yelled at saying it was 'in adequate' of a kiss and she'd have to do it again. Andy then pulled away and stood up. She then looked over at Alex, and bowed before she went back to take a seat between Daniel and David. After sitting down she looked between Daniel and David, then allowed her gaze to stop on David, "Truth or Dare?"

"Pervert." Alex called him after his comment about framing her panties. Wes chuckled, "Hey now... Underwear that pretty should be on display." He winked teasingly towards her. He couldn't help but smile slightly at the dare Andy was given. Nice, a little girl on girl action is always nice. He watched intently as Andy got up and made her way over to Trinity. He laughed at Andy's comment about him being the one to think of a dare like that. "Hey now... I'm innocent here."

Then it happened. Hot brunette and even hotter blonde kissed. He probably was staring in awe at the sight but he didn't care. Wes even felt a ting of jealousy wishing that he could possibly be the one to kiss Trinity instead. But that was one thought he'd keep to himself. He didn't realize until the kiss was over that his mouth was wide open as he watched. He quickly cleared his throat and took a drink. "Well that was nice." He chuckled as Andy made her way back to her seat. This game was definitely getting his attention, especially when she chose David. The guy was so... reserved that it could be interesting.

As Melissa took another swig from her bottle she noticed her sister lean closer to her. "You punched that guy?" Trinity asked in a quiet tone as she nodded her head at him. Flinching internally Melissa tried to keep her face blank as she responded in an equally low tone. "Yeah... He didn't really deserve it though. I overreacted." Melissa fell silent after that and took another drink, done with the topic when so many people were around to overhear. "Alex my dear friend. Thank god you wore a dress." Wes winked at Alex and Melissa watched him warily, knowing nothing good was going to come from a start like that. [b]"I dare you... To remove your panties and hand them off to whomever of your choosing." Melissa almost lost her cool, taking a drink from her bottle to keep from allowing a change in her facial expression. Internally Melissa didn't know if she had been about to smirk or frown but either way she knew that her near slip in composure was due to the alcohol.

While Melissa was no light weight, in fact being able to drink far more than most would estimae by her body mass, alcohol mellowed her out. While usually she would be extremely against being around so many people when she let her gaurd down Melissa knew that she was not the only one drinking and therefore wasn't much more vulnerable than she was usually. Melissa tried to block out the whole underwear exchange, focusing on slowly emptying her bottle. She was about halfway there when they finished and the tables were turned on Alex who had only momments ago made a comment about not being called on. A small smile graced Melissa's lips as she recognized the irony in the situaton and heard Daniel and Andy snip at eachother. "...Dare" Melissa went to go take another drink from her bottle but gasped mid drink at the dare given to Andy causing her to choke and spit a mouthful of vodka, making sure to hit sand and not another person, as she coughed violently. While she was used to the normal burn of vodka choking on the liquid made her throat feel like it was on fire. Taking a deep breath Melissa shot a pointed, half-hearted glare at Alex.

Viviane joining the group provided a momentary distraction from Melissa's outburst. Just as she was turning back to look at her half sister Melissa saw Andy lean forward and kiss Trinity. Without a word Melissa grabbed the bottle of vodka, now only a third full, and chugged the remains. 'This game is going to be the death of me if I'm not at least buzzed.' AFter she had finished the bottle she stuck it neck down into the sand. pausing she thought she heard laughter coming from behind her, the direction the woods were in, but after hearing no further sounds assumed she had imagined it. Knowing her limits, Melissa held off on opening the other bottle of liquor. While she could drink it like water, vodka was still a pretty strong drink and Melissa knew getting wasted during the game would probably be worse then playing sober. Deciding to focus on the game, forcing herself to think of it as nothing other than a game and not a chance to screw up, Melissa watched to see what David's choice would be.

Interacting With: Theo Smith-->N/A
Outfit: Beach Bonfire
"Yeah sure." After Theo responded Narissa grabbed her luggage, which she had left a few feet away from the door, and headed back to the path. Making sure not to stray from her original plan she headed towards the tree-hidden Cabin she had seen before. Reaching what seemed to be the end of the path there was a sudden break in the trees and a small clearing opened up in front of Narissa. The cabin was a bit big, hinting a a spacey interior but in was definitely uninhabited. After entering the cabin Narissa knew without a doubt it was to be her new home. The interior was open and the furnishings gave it a homey feeling. After a quick exploration of the house Narissa found what she assumed to be the master bedroom and set her stuff down on the bed.

Fifteen minutes later Narissa was starting to get fidgety. The fact that she knew a party was happening and she wasn't there was killing her but at the same time she really didn't want to be anywhere near the lake. As her annoyance and exsaperation increased her rationalism disapated and she decided to at least go see what everyone was up to. Changing into something more appropriate Narissa then headed back the way David had led her, stopping where the trees of the forest met the sand from the lake beach. Leaning against a tree Narissa watched as one girl took off her panties and handed them to a cute guy. The same girl then turned to a brunette in their circle. "Truth or Dare?" At the words Narissa couldn't help but smile, memories of her past experiences with the game temporarily distracting her. At the sound of laughing Narissa snapped out of her daydreaming and looked back at the group just in time to see on blonde girl recover from choking and the brunette kissing the blonde girl next to the first in the circle.
Narissa couldn't help but laugh as the brunette bowed to the person who gave her the dare. Clasping her hand over her mouth Narissa took a step back further into the shadows of the woods and hoped no one had heard her. For a moment she contemplated leaving before she got caught but then she saw the brunette turn to David. "Truth of Dare?" With a wicked smile Narissa leaned against the tree once more and watched, intrigued as to what the son of Hades would pick. 'This should be entertaining...'

"Well yeah... You can't save a minotaur then sacrifice kittens." David could've argued that he technically could and minotaurs had a better function in the world than cats as far as he could see but she was the wrong audience.

"So I've noticed...I guess I shouldn't wonder off so much." David smiled as that was the nice way of putting it. Yet people thought he was out of tune and anti social. He'd maintain his smugness in his one open minded friend because it was the only one up he had from Jennova. On that mind track... "Did self-righteous over there even manage to say thank you?" He gestured to Ajax. She at least deserved that for warping his ass out of the Underworld.

ImageDavid couldn't help but shift his attention to the game as Alex dared Andy to kiss Trinity once she finally spat it out. He bit any dyke comment back from Alex. After all he didn't blame the two girls having to kiss, just the weird requester. If she wanted to see girl on girl action, she could just visit the internet rather than make two hetero war girls kiss. Yet even he didn't have it in him to argue this one. Especially since Andy moved over to Trinity ready to follow through.

Lips met and there was a spark of life in him making him smirk and have new appreciation for truth or dare. Right up to the point where Andy pulled back and headed back to return to her seat. He looked to Jennova then cleared his throat and returned his gaze to the fire as he clasped his hands together.

Andy returned by him with his stare intent on the fire letting her select a soul for the picking. "Truth or Dare?" No one responded so he risked a glance to her. She was looking right at him. "Really?" His hands dropped on his lap. David sighed out and headed over to the cooler and grabbed himself and Jenn beers. But most of all he needed that swig of encouragement as he stepped behind them, not bothering to get comfortable. "Okay, dare, I guess."



Image
HEX: #8b9068 || Outfit

ImageAt hearing Andy's dare, Daniel couldn't help but laugh even at the expense of more dagger eyes. It was good to see the Valis' had some sense of humor. And more funny his sister had to kiss a girl. Though he had to admit, it was one of those scenes where he wasn't sure whether to look or look away. But at least Trinity wouldn't get all steamy with the kiss. So yeah...he trusted her with his sister. Even the thought of not having to worry because it was a girl made him chuckle again.

Daniel decided on focusing elsewhere, sure the daring and challenging side of Andy would do the dare properly as she moved away. He looked to his company, being the Hades duo without Andy in between. "Warming up that cold heart of yours with all the alcohol yet Jennova?" How that was his idea of a pick-up line or conversation starter, he didn't know. In fact he wasn't even entirely sure where they were with each other. But who did with the descendants of Hades?

Andy returned in no time, sitting between he and David and for a moment she seemed to be contemplating who to choose next. Then her gaze rested on David, making Daniel laugh quietly into his top as he tucked his chin to his chest and pulled it over his mouth.

█▐ ♔┊"Hey now... Underwear that pretty should be on display.

Alex shook her head with a smile and laughed. Such a smart-ass who always has something to say. That was one of Wes's traits that she liked about him along his personality. Alex tends to make sure she wears pretty underwear everyday, and it wasn't so some lucky guy can see them, it was just for her to feel happy about wearing nice things. "Thanks?" she chuckled, before turning her attention to Andy.

Image "You can't say sorry after giving the dare..." Alex smiled and shrugged softly before being flipped the bird which made Alex laugh even more. "I'd expect a dare like this from Wes, but not you."

"Right? but I think he rubs off onto me at times" she joked, giving a glace to him, then laughed and smiled once more before her eyes were back on Andy. Her sides were aching from just the beginning of this game for laughing so much, and there was still more people to be asked yet. Andy did well on her dare, and when the female bowed to her!? Alex smirked while clapping. "Well that was nice." Wes added when he saw the dare, but she knew that inside his head he had more than just, 'Well that was nice' going on up there.

When Andy picked David, she almost choked on her drink that she began drinking with her right shoulder gently leaning against Wes's left shoulder for support. It felt comfy, but she shot up while coughing on the liquid that had gone down the wrong way, even Ajax spun around to listen. David picked dare, and Alex was hoping that Andy wouldn't get her own back by asking Alex to kiss her one enemy at Camp. Even if he was handsome, it didn't stop Alex from hating him, or for wanting to fry his ass.

"Did self-righteous over there even manage to say thank you?" Jennova's gaze shifted over towards Ajax momentarily before looking back towards David. She shrugged her shoulders. "Honestly... I don't remember." She took a sip of her drink. "I didn't return until much later after him. Plus he had the whole camp freaking out." Jenn waved her hands in the air while making an overly dramatic facial expression. She rolled her eyes, "Can't have Mr. Camp Athens getting hurt..." She scoffed under her breath before muffling herself into her drink.

Jennova had no interest in the girl on girl action that was about to take place on the other side of the campfire. So instead she kept her eyes fixated upon her feet while she proceeded to empty the contents of her drink. Although her attention was grabbed by Daniel who now had no sweet and innocent sister to barricade him from her and her brother. "Warming up that cold heart of yours with all the alcohol yet Jennova?" Jenn raised a brow as she leaned forward to peak around David at Daniel. "Did you know... That alcohol warming the blood is actually an illusion. It tricks the body into thinking it's warm, when in fact the blood has not changed temperature. So no matter how much alcohol I drink I will still be a cold hearted bitch." With that Jenn raised her glass towards him, winking while making a clicking sound with her mouth. She then sat back in her seat and took a drink.

Jenn watched as the girl known as Andy made her way back to her seat between David and Daniel. The only part of this pointless game that caught her attention was who was picked next... Just in case it was her. When she heard Andy say, "Truth or dare?" But no name, and no one spoke, Jenn couldn't help be curious. She leaned forward, resting her elbows upon her knees as she took a drink. It was only then that she noticed Andy was staring right at David. Jenn lost it, spitting her drink out before cracking up laughing. David is going to kill me, she thought as she grinned evilly at her brother as he returned with drinks for the both of them. She took in her hand while watching him intently.

"Thanks?" Alex's chuckle caused Wes to laugh a little as well. He was only joking and she knew it. Honestly he had no idea what in the world he was going to do with a pair of red laced underwear. Probably keep them until an opportune moment where he could return them to her with a laugh.

After Andy made the comment about expecting a dare like that to come from him, Alex responded, "Right? but I think he rubs off onto me at times." Wes laughed. "Well... Only the best parts." He grinned. It was a good dare, although he probably would have tweaked it a bit. But either way, it'd never a bad day for some girl on girl action.

Wes smiled over at Alex as he felt her lean against his shoulder. Thankfully she did it when he was half paying attention and stable. If he wasn't they both might have tipped over and fell down. It would have been funny, but Wes wasn't in the mood to be picking himself up off the ground. Alex leaning on him didn't last long though. She quickly sat up, coughing back her drink. Wes lightly patted her back, looking at her curiously. He must have been in La-la land and not paying attention to whatever this big deal was because everyone seemed about as surprised as she did. "Okay, dare, I guess." He didn't know the guy that got dared but by the way everyone was acting, this must be a rare thing.

After she asked David truth or dare she had everyone's attention. Daniel was laughing to her left, Alex was choking on her drink, Jennova spit her drink out, and Andy was confused. She didn't see why it was such a big deal that she asked him. In her mind it was no different than asking her brother but apparently it was a big deal. She remembered hearing how David was one of those people who seemed to like no one and have no friends... But she had no problem with him. Ignorance is bliss, I suppose. Andy thought to herself. Now she had the extra burden of having to think of a perfect truth or dare since it seemed to have gotten everyone's attention.

"Really?" Was David's first response. Andy just giggled innocently, while smiling towards him. He got up for a moment to get himself and his sister another drink. Apparently he needs more alcohol to prepare himself. "Okay, dare, I guess." Great... Even more pressure. How in the world was she supposed to think of something good that wasn't just making him skinny dip in the water or something like that? She was certain no one wanted to see David's dingle berries so she wasn't even going to humor the idea of that dare.

Andy seemed to sit around thinking for a long time. But after a good pause, she brought her drink up to her lips to get some encouragement before she spoke. "Alright..." She looked over at David, attempting to smile innocently but failing. "I dare you... to..." She was definitely drawing it out... on purpose. She laughed, "I dare you to give someone... anyone a lap dance." Andy couldn't hold her composure and broke out in laughter. But quickly muffled it into her drink, diverting her gaze. I'm a horrible person.

Image He took another drink, glaring at the back of Jenn's head. "Careful. Hate to see you choke."
"I dare you to give someone... anyone a lap dance." As a man who didn't even like his space invaded, he was not favoring the whole dare of getting in someone elses space and dancing basically on them. Yet, David nodded to accept his fate and took his time looking around the fire and selecting a person. He had half a mind to give Andy one just so she could bite her own given dare but that kind of backfire stunt had already been pulled by Alex.

He circled the outside of people. David wanted someone attractive but quiet so they wouldn't go around screaming "remember that time.." David stopped at the Ares girls, smirked a little then kept walking. And as much as he would have liked to of displeased Alex, he didn't want to be up against her either.The newer brunette girl was very attractive. He slowed as he approached her but then felt it not entirely fair as his greeting card and he knew nothing of her personality. And she had just started drinking.

He kept walking and held out his hand to the tree line. "Come on." He gestured to the fire. "Poseidon's kids don't blend into shadows." David took Narissa's hand and led her to the fire, if only to complete his dare. Then turned to the children of Hecate. "Would one of you mind, please?" David made another head gesture.

Daniel waved a hand and made a seat appear for her and channeled some unnecessary music, making David glance back to the giggle fit he was having, thinking himself clever. David scowled gently but returned his gaze to Narissa and smiled a little. "Sorry." David shrugged off his leather jacket and braced himself. He wrapped it around the back of Narissa's neck gently as he stood over her legs and moved his hips, self-conscious not to grind on the girl. He chuckled at himself and this whole situation he was in. Narissa was probably his only other friend so far and he was gonna lose her because he danced over her with his awkward robotic hips. "Welcome to camp." He laughed, perking up his brows basically delirious. He took another sip.

Before any heckles came his way, he lowered his body's alignment with hers, hovering closer to her lap, shifting his hips with more ease at the expense of brushing against her. David tilted her chin gently with his index and middle finger towards his face. "Got time but I don't mind. Just wanna rock you girl." He smiled like it was their secret he did know a J.T song.

He got up after a moment and pulled his jacket carefully back. David turned to his traitor darer. "Now if that qualifies...?"

David was evaluating his choices carefully. Who to grace with a lap dance of his which held Daniel's attention. The only other girl he was close to apart from Jennova was Andy. So the question was, who would he not mind grinding on? He grabbed a girl Daniel was unfamiliar with. "Would one of you mind, please?" David gestured to the emptiness. Daniel fortunately got his meaning. After all a lap dance was supposed to be on the lap so a chair would benefit them both. But the music, that was his own added bonus to help David get in character which he couldn't help but laugh at. There were worse choices though. Slow and sensual for example.

He hit his legs, screwed up his eyes and tucked in his bottom lip as if feeling the song. "Don't be so quick to.... walk away. Dance with me. Let me rock your body. Please stay." When Daniel reopened his eyes he laughed at the mechanics of David. Yes, giving a girl you hardly knew was awkward but he was way too rigid.
Image
In time though, he loosened up and just let the music take over. Daniel grinned and playfully covered Andy's eyes now that it was less painful to watch. "You can all thank me later." Except for Jennova, but they had already shared their remarks for the millennium so he didn't add it.

Daniel squinted and could have sworn he'd seen a bit of charm coming off David. Maybe he ought to consider being a male entertainer for his money and fame making path. But just as quickly he returned to himself, stepping away from the girl and turning to his audience. "Now if that qualifies...?" Daniel side glanced to Andy. She'd be the cruelest if she said no. "Even I feel like if the girls had cash they'd be making it rain, " he commented and chuckled. Who and what the hell he just witnessed, he didn't know.

Daughter of Poseidon || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Amused

The bon fire was beginning to get good. With the alcohol flowing and the others in high spirits, everyone was buzzing and having a good time. There was some obvious flirting and some subtle flirting. To say the least they were a bunch of demigods who were surrounded by others like them and everyone could just be themselves. Obviously there was going to be some flirting and summer flings going on.
ImageWhen Andy dared Hades son David, who always looked like more of the 'I-do-what-I-want-and-don't-have-time-for-games' kind of a guy to give someone a lap dance, she couldn't contain her laugh. When he then picked Narissa she was a bit surprised. She would've thought he'd choose someone he was more familiar with or perhaps one of the guys just to mess around with them but this was definitely more interesting.
When the music started to play and David did his thing Viv slapped her hand over her mouth. Hades son had some moves you wouldn't think he'd have considering how reserved he seemed to be. Regardless the music was getting to her and she started to dance where she sat, raising her bottle in the air, and swaying side to side. In the back of her mind she wondered what their Godly parents thought of all of this. Their children bonding and just having fun. It was probably more than they would've expected.

Mel spitting out her drink was confirmation enough before Andy crouched in front of her and kissed her quickly but long enough so that it would count. There wasn't a better way to do it. With that done and out of the way, the game's resumed with Trinity as a partially amused witness and not a third party of a dare.

ImageAndy selected David next which caused a mix of reactions around the fire. Mostly choking and laughter but Trinity was one of the confused and curious to see what he would pull. At least people didn't laugh at her and Andy having to kiss...David was obviously reserved but not under the radar and not to be underestimated. When she heard he was to give anyone of his choosing a lap dance, she did think there might be some resistance but he moved on. Trinity diverted her gaze not sure who would choose who in this kinda game so she didn't want to attempt to call his bluffs. He did almost a full circle before choosing a girl that was tucked in the shadows and pulling her out.

Then David took off his leather jacket that already hid the solid form of his body. She couldn't help but watch in awe and glance around to the others checking their reaction. She smiled, amazed that he was doing his dare but glad he showed doubters up. When he started really moving though, her expression changed and she held her breath for a moment or two. She wasn't in the pretty blonde's shoes but Trinity felt a little flushed with the way he handled it.

As quickly as the good man snapped out of his stripper zone, Trinity snapped out of her admirer zone glancing to Melissa warily. "I think I need to stop drinking."

Theo scooted over as he allowed the guy to cut in between him and Alex. He felt kind of put off, and usually he might would have said something, but he wasn't in the business of making waves tonight... just observing. He watched and laughed as Alex rose to the occasion of her dare and handed her panties to the guy who had sat between them. Theo figured there had to be something there, and he wasn't going to push it. Because of this, he remained silent.

The next dare really interested Theo. There was a girl who had to kiss the blonde that Theo found so interesting. The blonde looked both surprised and embarrassed, but she allowed it. Theo decided he would go talk to her. As he went to get up the next dare was laid down. One of the muscular guys had to give a girl a lap dance. Theo recognized the girl that the guy chose from out of the edge of the party. It was the girl who had stormed into his cabin. She had the same mortified look on her face as she did when she realized that she had barged into someone else's cabin. The guy got off her and stared down his darer. The whole thing made Theo laugh.

ImageTheo finally got up and moved towards the blonde and the girl sitting next to her, picking up a few new drinks along the way. He was starting to really feel the alcohol kick in. Apparently so was the girl because as he approached he heard he say "I think I need to stop drinking." He smirked at the statement, sitting down next to her. "You sure about that? I'm not gonna drink all of these." He smiled as he held one of the drinks up to her.

"Careful. Hate to see you choke." David said in response to her choking on her drink when he was chosen. She scoffed. "Please... You'd have a field day if I was out of your hair." She mumbled under her breath before taking another drink. When she heard what the dare was, she shot up out of her seat so fast she nearly fell over from the head rush accompanied by the amounts of alcohol she was assuming. Jenn had no desire to watch her brother seduce some innocent person with his robotic hip gyrations.

Regaining her balance she walked over towards the table containing the food and drinks. She popped the cap off of a cool beer, chugging half of it's contents before realizing she was in Ajax's presence. Jennova cleared her throat before looking over at him. "Figured you'd be all gung-ho for the festivities." She took another large drink, "How's the..." She points the index finger of the hand that held her beer towards his abdomen where he was stabbed.

Wes sat there quietly as he sipped on his drink. Every so often his gaze drifted over towards Alex, gauging her reaction towards David's lap dance. He then looked around at most of the other campers. A good handful were watching intently. Wes assumed David wasn't the type to do anything like that. He himself didn't particularly feel like watching it. Sure the guy was decent for not seeming like the type who dances often but Wes knew he could do it better.

Wes had nearly forgotten about the guy sitting on the other side of him, and apparently the guy didn't particularly like being cock blocked by him either because after awhile he stood up and left the happy family. But what happened next made him stiffen in his seat slightly. The guy got 2 drinks and made his way over towards Trinity, taking a seat beside her and gave her a similar look he was giving Alex not long ago. Wes clenched his jaw, looking down at the beer he held before he brought it to his lips, chugging the entire bottle.

Andy sat there all too happily as she watched David grab some innocent blonde, making her his victim. She didn't realize what David was asking for until Daniel had already gotten the hint, forming a chair and getting some music going. "Don't be so quick to.... walk away. Dance with me. Let me rock your body. Please stay." Andy laughed and starting wiggling her shoulders, dancing along with her brother singing before adding. "So you grab your girls and you grab a couple more and you all come meet me in the middle of the floor..."

Before she even got a chance to enjoy watching the lap dance or singing and dancing to the song in her seat, Daniel's hand shot over her eyes. "You can all thank me later." She sighed, "Come on really? It's my dare!" So she sat there, sighing as the only sight she could see was Daniel's palm. Frustrated she finally pushed his hand away only to see that it was the end of the dare.

David was making his way back over towards her. "Now if that qualifies...?" "Well..." Andy stated, scratching her chin while smirking evilly. "One, my darling brother over here covered my eyes for the whole thing... So how do I even know you did it? Plus, the poor girl looks terrified." She motioned towards the blonde he was dancing for. "Lap dances are supposed to be sexy and seductive... Not terrifying David." Andy was having a hard time keeping a straight face as she fought the urge to crack up laughing.

#D63B71 & Teal for thoughts. ✦ A L E X ' S O U T F I T: XXXXX

█▐ ♔┊During David's lap dance on Narissa, Alex thought he wasn't too bad at it. She wasn't a pro at dancing or anything, that was just her opinion, but she still hated his guts. It wasn't long before she looked away, her eyes now on Wes who she had noticed a change of mood wash over him. He was tense in his seat. Her eyes followed to where he was looking, and she could see that Theo had wandered on over to Trinity. Now she knew what was going on with her bestie. Even though he wasn't her boyfriend, he truly liked her, so he had the right to be jealous. Maybe Theo knew Wes liked her, so now he was getting his own back for the cock blocking. Who knows.

Image While keeping her gaze on Theo, she spoke to Wes who remained beside her. "I wouldn't worry.. you're everything he's not." she now turned her gaze on Wes. "Trinity isn't the type of girl who is easily swayed by just any guy. She is the daughter of Ares, and that makes her tougher than coffin nails." even though she was saying it to comfort him, those words were the truth. One gift from being the Daughter of Zeus, was knowing about others like their father did. He did after all create the other Gods, but not Hades, or Poseidon.

After a while she was looking at Daniel. He was having fun, and didn't even seem to really notice her as far as she knew. Earlier he had ignored her, or maybe he hadn't heard her!? either way, it hurt a little to not be noticed by the one you like the most on Camp. She drank her beer, then placed it down on the sand by her feet before folding both of her arms as she waited for the game to move on to someone else.

█▐ ♔┊"Shush, not when your eating..." Ajax watched the little boys reaction to his mums words. He looked embarrassed, but Ajax didn't mind. He rubbed the little guys back. "Any help with clean-up or walking back the newbies (quite possible not accustomed to the amount of alcohol the seniors could shovel) would be greatly appreciated." "I'll help you clean up a couple of things, that's no problem" he smiled. "Hey, little guy.." Ajax crouched down to his level so he didn't look so intimidating. "If it's okay with, mummy, how about I show you something real cool tomorrow, huh?" Ajax had to do something for him, because a Camp like this really wasn't a place for his age, but he didn't question Sera about it. Not once. That was her business, and her business alone.

Image Ajax couldn't believe that David was grinding up on the new girl. Hopefully she wouldn't be too freaked out to the point of wanting to pack and leave already. She hadn't been here long. Literally. Once done with cleaning up a little for Sera, Ajax headed on over towards Andy after downing another drink. He was drunk for sure. "Hey, beautiful!" he called out to her while taking off one of the other demigods hats as he passed, and placed it on his head while dancing sexily towards her to tease her. He was even taking off his shirt like a male stripper, showing off his toned, muscular and tanned body. He tossed his shirt to the side which landed on someones head, and once close enough to Andy!? He took off the hat, placed it on her head, and began to do a little dance right there on the spot, "Boom!" He shouted, then began laughing with a grin.

"Hey beautiful!" Daniel's attention shifted from laughing at Andy challenging David again, to the strip tease Ajax had going on. And he was prowling for his sister no less. It was like witnessing a drunk mating dance and Daniel couldn't do it. He practically shot out of his seat and moved around the other side of the fire so he didn't have to catch a glimpse of it used on Andy.
Image
He found himself near the daughter of Poseidon based on her demonstration of powers. "You got a 'commonly known as' name to share yet?" Daniel asked. "Or am I really that untrustworthy?" He looked her over once. Sure he had a renowned title of being a trickster but what was in a name? "Unless you like being referred to as little mermaid or Ariel. Suits me fine." He shrugged and smiled.

ImageAndy questioned him following through his dare, making him glare daggers at Daniel and the girl that was really pushing her luck here. But thankfully, for once, a drunken AJ served as a distraction stripping off his clothes and making his way to Andy. Well somebody was keen for the dare he didn't get. David didn't know if he was drunk though, or drugged, he made that much a fool of himself.

Passing Jennova, he dropped off a comment. "So apparently seduction isn't my strong suite as much as it is his." Despite it being a big episode of 'what the hell is going on' , David sat beside Daniel and took another swig of his beer. "So do I still pick someone-" "Please." Daniel responded quickly.

"Okay..." He looked around the fire for his selection. "Melissa. Truth or dare?" He knew she'd probably be just as uncomfortable being dragged into the game. Which made it all the better.

"You sure about that? I'm not gonna drink all of these." She glanced to a male that she had to admit, she was not familiar with, then the drinks he had in hand. "Well I'd hope not." Trinity commented. "But since you're here and offering, don't mind if I do." She plucked one of the bottles from him and gave him a smile. "I'm Trinity by the way." She held out her free hand for a shake and silently tried to discover whose offspring he was exactly.

After him there was a bit of a stir about sitting arrangements, causing her to flicker her eyes to the commotion. Ajax was dancing for Andy that forced Daniel to retreat and David to reconsider his own seating. "So are you newish or have I just been caught up in spars?" She asked finally and returned her attention to him. Trinity didn't think herself particularly bad at observing faces but it was always possible.

"Really?" Melissa chuckled as she watched David sigh and got to get a beer. "Okay, dare, I guess." Melissa watched as Andy contemplated the options. "Alright... I dare you... to... I dare you to give someone... anyone a lap dance." Laughing Melissa watched as David circled the group before walking towards the line of trees. Surprised she turned and watched as he lead a unknown blonde to the circle. 'I knew that I heard something from that direction...' Silently Melissa watched David and the blonde. Melissa watched as David turned to the two children of Hecate, the startled girl in tow. "Would one of you mind, please?" Without hesitation Daniel conjured a chair and some music and David started. At first she was close to laughing at how stiff the son of Hades was but then he loosened up and showed to have a bit of skill. 'He's not bad looking...' All too soon David stepped away and turned back to Andy."Now if that qualifies...?" Just a moment later Trinity turned to her, speaking earnestly. "I think I need to stop drinking." Before Melissa could answer a new guy walked over with drinks and sat on the other side of her sister. With a brief wary glance at him Melissa decided he was harmless and focused her attention on the newest spectacle of Ajax stripping. The spectacle lost her attention quickly, moving on to watch some of the seating choices switch but as people settled in that lost her attention as well. With a sigh Melissa reached for the bottle in her lap. "So apparently seduction isn't my strong suite as much as it is his." Melissa raised her eyebrows a bit and thought to herself. 'Don't underestimate yourself too much...'

As she opened the bottle of peach vodka David sat next to Daniel and she focused in on their conversation. "So do I still pick someone-" Daniel responded to David's question so quickly he cut him off. "Please." David's response was dragged out as his gaze roamed the group. "Okay..." As his eyes settled on her Melissa narrowed her gaze. 'Don't you da-' "Melissa. Truth or dare?" 'Son of a bitch....' Bringing her newly opened bottle to her lips she took a long pull from it and then looked David right in the eyes, a wicked grin on her face. Somewhere in the back of her mind Melissa heard alarm bells going off, telling her to keep acting indifferent, but the alcohol was starting to get to her. "Well usually I wouldn't back down from a challenge but everyone seems to be picking dare... I'll go with Truth."

The girl glanced at Theo with a confused look on her face. She must have been trying to place who he was, but the look went away as quickly as it had come. She replaced it quickly with a smile. "Well I'd hope not. But since you're here and offering, don't mind if I do." Theo couldn't help but let out a stifled laugh. She took a bottle from him as he laughed again. Theo couldn't help but notice the fire behind her eyes. He could usually place a demigod's parent, and Theo thought that this girl must be a daughter of Ares. Which made her a bad ass. Which made her even more attractive. Theo snapped backed to reality when the girl spoke. "I'm Trinity by the way." she said as went to shake his hand.

Theo took her hand in his but instead of shaking it he decided to kiss her hand. He smirked and her as he brought it towards his face. "Okay Trinity..." he said as he kissed her hand, never breaking eye contact... or his smirk. "I'm Theo." He slowly returned her hand to her and let go. He had really turned up the charm for that move, and he hoped it wasn't a bust. Theo continued to smile at her until he heard noise behind him. Theo followed Trinity's gaze to where some seats were moving around behind them. Ajax Almighty was pretty drunk and it showed as he danced half naked on a girl Theo didn't know. The guys near them moved away.

Theo let out another laugh before turning back to Trinity and waited on her to refocus on him. "So are you newish or have I just been caught up in spars?" That must mean that she wasn't new to the camp. He wouldn't try explaining the whole situation with his mother right now so he just went with "No don't worry. I just got here a few hours ago. I already know a few people though. I'm not real thrilled to be here, but I'll make the most of it." Theo rambled on as a result of the alcohol. Next to Trinity, another fierce looking girl received the next truth or dare and she chose truth. Theo stayed focused on Trinity though as the game hardly concerned him at the moment.

Daughter of Poseidon || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Amused

Viv was enjoying herself immensely. What with a roaring fire before her, booze, and typical teen games she couldn't help but feel at ease. Suddenly Daniel was sitting beside her. "You got a 'commonly known as' name to share yet?" At that she stiffened. "Or am I really that untrustworthy?" Now she was looking at him with a certain glint in her eyes. "Unless you like being referred to as little mermaid or Ariel. Suits me fine." She couldn't help but roll her eyes and laugh sarcastically.
Image On any other given day she may be a little irritated that someone would call her by that dreadful nickname, but considering that she was in high spirits and she had a little alcohol in her system she couldn't be bothered. But how he figured it out was beside her. Let the sly son of Hecate figure that one out. "Very funny." She looked him over then, "and shall I call you Loki? Considering you enjoying meddling with others." Feeling pretty satisfied with her less than clever comeback she finished her bottle of beer and glanced over to the blonde that had moved closer to them.
Trying not to stare but still trying to get a good look at the girl it dawned on her that she seemed familiar, or had familiar features she'd seen before. Features like in dad. Then it dawned on her that the girl may be her sister. Trying to be friendly Viv smiled at the blonde girl. If this was her sister, perhaps the two would get along well.

Son of Athena || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Excited

Well better late than never, Ian thought as he rolled up to the camp. He'd left with little to no information on this place other than it was "suppose to be good for him". Right, mommy dearest sure knew how to make him feel assured. His father did play a role in him coming here too though, and partially, okay a lot of him, had wanted to leave home and go to camp. Where else was he going to be able to practice his powers and be lucky enough to meet beautiful demigod girls? Image
He had already checked out his cabin and had seen that there was a party of something going down the beach. Not wanting to waste anytime he gathered some things and headed out towards the beach. Ian was practically giddy with excitement over the thought of partying on his first night. This can't be any better.
As he approached the gathering he looked over the people and a grin spread across his face from ear to ear. Speaking up loud enough for anyone willing to listen he announced himself, "hello fellow camp mates!" He paused and lifted up the case of beer he brought with him. "I've brought refreshments!" Setting down the case in the sand, he grabbed a can and started to join the merriment around him.

ImageShe watched her hand be brought to his lips then stared into his eyes, narrowing them gently as she saw him looking back into hers, a smirk plastered on his face. He kissed her hand which of course wasn't at all what she was after but was a kind, gentle enough gesture not to get too worried about him in terms of over power. And it did make her feel like a lady. On the other hand, of course, she'd kick his ass if he tried anything over friendly and mistook her for a bashful princess.

Trinity rested her hand in the sand as she leaned back on it. "Theo," she echoed and nodded in acknowledgement of his name so he knew she caught it. Normally, she'd never find so much appreciation for a name but Theo was pretty well picked by whoever his parents.

"No don't worry. I just got here a few hours ago. I already know a few people though. I'm not real thrilled to be here, but I'll make the most of it." Trinity narrowed her eyes on him again, sussing him out. "So does that mean you're a returnee? Or just...above us?" She took a sip from her drink as she shot up her brows challenging Theo in his next response. Trinity was just playing with the guy of course. He didn't seem completely full of himself.

"hello fellow camp mates! I've brought refreshments!" Trinity looked to Mr. bubbly and energetic and laughed once. "He with you?" She asked Theo. Trinity couldn't entirely relate to the male's energy but she liked it.

Image"Very funny. And shall I call you Loki? Considering you enjoying meddling with others." Daniel smiled at her remark that she took her own evident pride in. So that was safe to assume she probably didn't have intentions of sharing her name with him yet. He looked into the fire as a smirk touched his feature. Would you believe it?"That's a new one actually," he commented.

He glanced to David's lap dance victim move to sit by the sassy brunette. Or near enough, she kinda lingered at that respectable distance. He looked between the two and chuckled to himself. Daniel could see the curiosity and calculation from both parties but unlike he and Andy, they decided to be rather hush about their curiosities. Andy had outright blurted "You look very familiar... Have we met before?" Then minotaur crisis then siblings.

He moved from little mermaid to the table with some snacks, hovering his fingers over the selection. Before the man with a plan rocked up. Or a man at least. Daniel hadn't actually seen him before. "I've brought refreshments!" He set the case down. Daniel only half hated to be the first to scab from the new guy. "Thanks, man." Daniel held out his hand as he scooped up a can of beer. "I'm Daniel. Child of Hecate."

Image"Well usually I wouldn't back down from a challenge but everyone seems to be picking dare... I'll go with Truth." David nodded in thought of his new task to conjure up for her. "Plot twist," he stated as thinking of a challenging truth didn't come so easily to him. But he was being small minded here. A daughter of Ares having to spill the truth? That was like the greatest dare. But what confession of a sort did he want to know, or how would he make Melissa squirm? David had to make an advantage of the opportunity Hades style. Initially he were going to ask her biggest fears but the whole camp didn't need to hear it.

He looked to Trinity and the same guy trying to pull his moves on her that came to the fire with Alex. With a flicker of inspiration he thought he found a pretty decent one. "Okay...hate to put you on the spot but I love it." He grinned. "In order of lowest to highest, list the demigods on this beach now, you'd go out with. Or feel even remotely attracted to." The Ares girls never revealed their affections or desires so he thought it'd be interesting to hear. And tease about if it came to it.

When Theo kissed Trinity's hand he caught the intensity behind her gaze. She was basically boring into his soul, trying to place his intentions. Theo could read his cues. She was the slow and steady type. He softened his smile as the conversation continued trying to make her feel more comfortable. He must admit though, he liked the sound of his name on her tongue. It caused his smile to grow for a small second before he controlled himself.

"So does that mean you're a returnee? Or just...above us." Trinity raised her eyebrows at him while nursing her drink. Theo didn't find the comment harsh or accusing. He took it as flirting really, so he fired back with a simple response. "Who? Me? Na, I'm not above anyone. I just don't like routine and organization ya know. Plus mummy dearest didn't inform me that there would be gorgeous girls like you hear." Theo began the statement with a false tone of surprise to show he knew she was joking, but he ended it with his more melodic, charming tone. He was both serious and flirting, and he conveyed both with the smile he chose to employ.

Just then another guy reached the campfire and did so loudly. Theo looked towards him and then back to Trinity. "He with you?" she inquired. Theo shook his head. "Nope never seen the guy before..." Also in their vicinity things were getting interesting with the girl who had picked truth. She had been asked to rank the other demi gods in the order she would date them. This interested Theo, so he split his attention between the spectacle and Trinity.

Daughter of Poseidon || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Happy

He had at actually smiled. At what she couldn't guess. Was it because he thought the nickname she had given him was amusing or if she had made herself look like a complete knob. Either way she couldn't be overly bothered. "Glad you like it because that's," she poked him on the chest with her index finger, "what I'm going to call you." And with that he attention was drawn back to the blonde.

Image Silently she wondered why her father wouldn't bother to tell her she had a sister. It was only a common curtsy. You'd think that after all this time he may have just came down from where he stayed and said "hey Viv. You're looking well, also just thought I'd let you know that you have a sister. Alright well see you later." But no, that may have been too difficult for him to do. Her father was never good at breaking the news to her anyway. She thought maybe he was afraid of hurting her, but Viv was tougher than she led on. With that, she turned to look at the new comer. She thought she'd heard that voice before.

When she saw exactly who it was a smile ran across her face. "Ian, always good to see you," she walked over, stumbling slightly, to the son of Athena and hugged him warmly. The two had crossed paths before but it had been a while since she'd last seen him. Regardless when the two of them came together again it seemed like no time had passed at all.

Son of Athena || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Excited

Ian had been looking around the area when he locked eyes with a pretty blonde who he'd overheard talking to some boy asking if he was with him. All he did was smile and wink at her, raising the can of beer he held in his hand to her. Leave it to Ian to begin flirting as soon as he arrived.

Image Soon he found himself being approached by another, this time some male. "Thanks, man." He extended a hand towards him as he grabbed a drink and Ian took it grasping it firmly. "I'm Daniel. Child of Hecate." "Nice to meet you man, I'm Ian. Son of Athena." Taking a drink from his can he began to recall his mythology and who all the gods were. "So Hecate is the goddess who likes to play tricks and does witchy stuff, right?" It had been a while since he brushed up on it all. He was too busy formulating battle plans, training, and of course going to parties to remember much of anything else.

Suddenly he heard Viviane approach and caught her as she stumbled a bit. "Viv, hey!" He hugged her back and held her out at an arms length at looked her over, "looks like someone's been drinking," he said laughing. It had been a long time since he last saw her but it was good to see one familiar face. Ian turned back to Daniel then, "did I miss anything good so far?"

They exchanged names like normal people and shook hands. "So Hecate is the goddess who likes to play tricks and does witchy stuff, right?" Daniel nodded, hoping the guy wouldn't make immediate judgement through association of his mother. "That's basically the jazz of it." Just before Daniel could throw a pointed look to the brunette on how normal exchanges went, she had moved from her position to embrace Ian in a half drunk fashion. "Viv, hey!" Daniel smirked lightly as that little spoiler of her name had escaped Ian. But he'd keep that little slice of information locked away for the moment. As long as he was Loki to her, she was Little Mermaid.

Image"Did I miss anything good so far?" Ian had turned back to Daniel. He shrugged and looked around to witness the current activities of the fire. "Nothing in particular. Just doing a few rounds of truth or dare." He sipped from his own can then spotted Wes and Alex kissing. He coughed and choked a little as the drink went down the wrong pipe. He had the courtesy to turn away from Ian and Viv until he was done coughing and spluttering. "And just..." he croaked. "Excuse me..." Daniel cleared his throat and hit his chest. "An imaginary spin the bottle game." He finished, gesturing to the lip lock action between the son of aphrodite and Alex.

Wasn't tonight just full of surprises. Wasn't she full of surprises. Walks in arm with one guy, and happily kisses another. Daniel's eyes drifted to Trinity.

He nodded to Viv and Ian as he moved to plonk himself in the sand.

Jennova wasn't particularly interested in the current truth that was about to be spilled. So it was no matter of time at all before she finished off her drink. Well isn't this fun. She thought to herself as she sat alone staring at the roaring fire. Who knew David would be enjoying himself more than Jenn. "I've brought refreshments!" Her hand shot up in the air, holding her empty beer bottle. "Sold."

Clearing her throat before hopping up out of her seat, Jennova made her way towards the refreshments. It wasn't until she looked up seeing the newbie that brought the booze that she stopped in her tracks momentarily. Is it mandatory for every Demi God to be hot? She raised her brows nodding her head as she made her way over, grabbing a beer after Daniel. Jenn zoned out temporarily until she heard the new comer ask, "did I miss anything good so far?" Then Daniel answered, "Nothing in particular. Just doing a few rounds of truth or dare." Then he started choking on his drink. Curious, Jenn looked in the direction he was looking, seeing Alex kissing Wes. "And just... Excuse me... An imaginary spin the bottle game."

Jenn tilted her head towards Daniel slightly, a devious smirk crossing her lips. "Looks like you should tame your cat before she gets with every alleycat on the block." She then walked past him, making eye contact with Ian as she passed him. "Thanks for the drink stud." Jenn winked at him before making her way back to her seat. She couldn't help but chuckle to herself at the liplocking action and the drama that would quickly ensue. Now that is entertaining.

"..Sorry, I didn't mean to come off like that." Wes didn't mean anything by the Yes Mother comment. He lightly bumped her shoulder with his own. "Hey... I was only teasing." He flashed her a gentle smile. Wes knew she was only wanting him to see himself in a better light.

"I would really love that to happen." Alex said. Wes knew that many people liked being looked at like they were the only person in the world. He'd be lying if he said he wouldn't like someone looking at him that way. That was a sign when someone truly likes another person. Getting lost just watching them be them. "It'll happen. Everyone deserves that kind of love."

It wasn't that Alex didn't have his full attention but when she said, "Forgive me." Wes turned his entire body to face her. Forgive you for what? He had just made a comment about that damn man flirting with Trinity. Was she planning on making a move on that guy!? His mind was racing with possibilities behind the statement but nothing like what she was really apologizing for. Before he knew it she was leaning in towards him. Wes leaned away slightly but not enough to stop her from pressing her lips to his and closing her eyes. At first his eyes widened. WHAT THE HELL!? And then it dawned on him... Jealousy. He heard the choking of presumably Daniel. It was working. So before Alex pulled away, he brought his hands up to gently cup her face and leaned into the kiss.

After a good long moment, he slowly pulled away breaking the kiss. Looking down at her he smirked slightly, "I've been told Aphrodite's kids are the best kissers... You may have wished you didn't do that." Wes winked at her teasingly, before retaking his original position, moving his hands from her face. "I think it worked..." He nodded his head in Daniel's direction. Then at a new realization Wes added, "If I get my ass kicked by Daniel or your brother... I'm coming after you!" He pointed at her in a teasing but threatening manner.

"I won't. Was all that Ajax said in response to what Andy told him. She wasn't really expecting him to say anything. She smiled slightly down at her hands. Not because she was happy he said he wouldn't hurt her... But because he doesn't realize he's already closing her out and not knowing it. Andy was strong though and she wasn't going to let the actions of one guy effect her if she had anything to say about it. She liked him a lot... More than she should so quickly but it's not something she could help. But that'd be her own secret until he felt the same.

Ajax smiled when she faked giving him the shirt. "Come on... Give it back." Andy laughed. No matter how frustrated he made her with his mixed signals seeing him smile would always make her smile. When he tried to catch her off guard and take his shirt, she still held it out of the way. He went through the trouble of stripping for her, now he had to sit around half naked so she could enjoy it.

His attention shifted towards the sky which made her first peak up at it from the corner of her eyes. At first she thought he was trying to distract her but then she saw the shooting star. "If you asked me.. I wouldn't even know what to wish for." This interested her. But before she lost her opportunity, she closed her eyes, making her own silent wish. When she was done she looked over at him, "Not even for your shirt?" Andy grinned. This time she took his shirt, leaning over towards him and resting it upon his shoulder before lightly patting his chest. "Sorry for taking you away from the party." She nodded her head towards the campfire as she slowly withdrew her hand from his chest. "You can go back if you want."

Andy smiled sweetly towards Ajax as she ran a hand back through her long wavy hair. She held his gaze for a long moment before shifting her attention back out towards the water. Slowly bringing her knees up to her chest, Andy wrapped her arms around her shins as the wind blew her hair about her face. Although this was the closest thing she had ever been to a party, she is noticing that she isn't the partying type.

"Who? Me? Na, I'm not above anyone. I just don't like routine and organization ya know. Plus mummy dearest didn't inform me that there would be gorgeous girls like you hear." She rolled her eyes with a smile, more playful than annoyed by the blunt flattery. It never hurt to receive a compliment such as gorgeous but if he was hoping to pick up...it just didn't do it for her. "Thank you." She responded, nonetheless, still relatively grateful to be assured she had some visual appeal to her.

"Nope never seen the guy before..." Theo had answered at the same time the male threw a wink and smile and raised his can her way. "Hm. Could have fooled me." She commented smirking at the alike straight- forward charms the males shared. "So are you Aphrodite's child or umm, Hera's?" Was her next random guess she could produce.

Before Mel could fulfill David's intriguing truth that pushed to reveal her sexuality, Daniel started coughing and choking obviously off put by something. Trinity scanned for the source and her face fell from alertness to...something she didn't like. It felt like sinking. Trinity got to her feet and brushed the sand from her legs, keeping her eyes on the happy little couple that couldn't possibly wait until they were in the privacy of their own cabins.

ImageShe flicked some sand up at them, as if a clunky step as her boot buried under the sand, only hitting mid leg height and down. Of course the two had already parted by that time but hey, it wasn't a fricken love circle. "Sorry!" Trinity tried to say sweetly which definitely didn't suit her and came off more cold and sarcastic. As she passed, she patted and tugged on Wes' hair sharply.

"You want some food?" she called, and turned to look at Theo from where she stood to clarify she was asking him. Meanwhile, waiting for his response she turned her back and opened a box of fruit. Not your typical camp fire food but some people were lean mean fighting machines and needed their fuel. She picked up an apple.

"Cozy with each other, aren't they?" She stated, looking to the back of Daniel's head as she leaned against the table.

Image"Hm. Could have fooled me." Trinity said with a smirk. Theo smiled back in order not to show his confusion. He wasn't sure why she said that, but he dismissed it as idle chit chat. "So are you Aphrodite's child or umm, Hera's?" Trinity took a stab at Theo's godly parent. Theo laughed and rubbed the back of his head as he looked off in the distance. "Um.... no. Artemis actually. I picked up the charm and looks from my human father." Theo remarked with a laugh as he redirected his focus on Trinity.

Off elsewhere, a guy was choking up and caught Trinity's attention, as well as Theo's. They both turned to see Alex and the guy who had cockblocked him earlier in a full out make out session. They weren't the only ones staring either. Everyone had basically turned their attention from the truth or dare game towards the "couple". Theo watched Trinity get up and walk off, flicking sand at the two as she passed. He chuckled at this. Trinity turned back towards him when she reached the snacks. "You want some food?" she hollered across the party. He shook his head and leaned back, letting his thoughts overtake him until she returned. He had been picking up on the social cues around him.

'So Trinity isn't a big flirter... or she plays hard to get at least. Alex must be pretty friendly with all of the guys, but the guy who got choked up kept a keen eye on her. Meanwhile the guy making out with Alex had been making puppy eyes at Trinity all night, but then why was he kissing Alex. These girls are confusing. The girl with Ajax seems to be the only one sure of who she wants to be with.' Theo let his thoughts rumble on as he watched Ajax and the girl on the beach. He needed to talk to Ajax tomorrow. He had to let him know where his allegiance lied. Theo would defend Olympus with his life. Just like that Theo's thoughts had turned towards the impending war he had heard so much about and his smile dissipated.

"Plot twist" Melissa chuckled and took a drink from her bottle as David mulled over his options. As she let her attention drift Melissa focused back on her sister and the guy who was flirting with her. "So does that mean you're a returnee? Or just...above us." Melissa looked the guy over, searching her alcohol addled mind as to he was new or not. 'Nope... He's definitely new.' "Who? Me? Na, I'm not above anyone. I just don't like routine and organization, ya know? Plus mummy dearest didn't inform me that there would be gorgeous girls like you here." Melissa coughed on air as she tried not to laugh at his obvious flirting. While he definitely wouldn't be the first to flirt with Trinity he obviously didn't know much about the other demigods. Telling a child of Ares might give you a point or two towards ego but it wasn't all that important.
"Hello fellow camp mates! I've brought refreshments!" "He with you?" Melissa looked in the direction the yell came from and started giggling. While there wasn't anything particularly funny about him or his statement Trinity's response to him was seemingly hilarious. "Nope never seen the guy before..." "Okay...hate to put you on the spot but I love it." Melissa's attention snapped back to David at his words. As he spoke Melissa's giggling died down and she took note of the grin on his face with unease. 'A child of Hades smiling at me? Let alone that it's David. This can't be good... "In order of lowest to highest, list the demigods on this beach now, you'd go out with. Or feel even remotely attracted to."

Before logical thought could take hold Melissa spoke to David, smirking at him. "David if you wanted to know if I liked you, you could have just asked." The teasing tone of her voice almost even surprised her. Most of her own friends had left camp the previous year to either train or live normal lives for the time being and she usually never gave people she didn't consider a friend the time of day. This being so others who have been in camp with her have rarely seen her act like anything other than a bitch. Her mind coming back to the present Melissa looked around the group in contemplation. "You know, technically those are two different questions but I'll let it slide." Her eyes got a wicked gleam in them and she laughed. "In fact, I'll answer them both." She knew that David had expected her to be unwilling or at least disgruntled but as she was starting to realize Melissa was too drunk to care. "It's nice to loosen up for once..." Taking a sip from the bottle in her lap she looked over the group again before meeting David's eyes. ”Being honest I’m extremely picky about who I date because dating means getting close to people and I obviously am not the best at that.” Thinking of her interaction with Wes that morning she raises her bottle and nudges her head in his direction before taking a drink from it. ”Case in point. Either way if I had to put everyone into a list lowest to highest based on whether I would date them….”

Melissa finally set down the bottle, looking around the campfire before pointing to her sister. ”Triney is number one, can’t date your sister. I mean unless you’re into that” Melissa cast a wide eyed, completely fake, apologetic look at David before grinning again. ”Sera would be second with Ajax as a close third. I don’t think I could deal with Mama and Papa Camp Athens as a partner, no matter how much I get along with them. Andy would be fourth, not really my type… too nice from what I’ve seen. The blonde you just molested would be fifth. Seems a bit catty but I’m not really one for mood swings. The brunette, Viviane I think? She would be sixth. Seventh would be the guy flirting with my sister closely followed by the guy who brought more booze. Jenn would be ninth, Daniel tenth, and Wes would be eleventh. And you would be twelth with Ajax’s kid sister being thirteen. She’s cute and fiesty. Plus I’ve always had a thing for brunettes.” Grabbing her bottle she took a quick drink from it before continuing.

"As for pure Sexual attraction from Lowest to Highest would be Sera, Ajax, Andy, the blonde you just molested, Viviane, Daniel, Jenn, the guy flirting with my sister, Trinity, Ajax's kid sister, the guy who just brought more booze, Wes, and you, David.” Melissa then stood up quickly, almost falling over, and took a bow. ”Complete!” As she rose Melissa winked at David before laughing and sitting back down.

Image"David if you wanted to know if I liked you, you could have just asked." Melissa responded teasingly. "You know, technically those are two different questions but I'll let it slide. In fact, I'll answer them both." He held up his finger to clarify how his truth was sugar coated for her. David thought she might have been reluctant to or, frankly have no date order in existence at all so he fell back on sexual attraction, but Melissa went on daringly with the two different lists.

He face planted a little as she buried into her lists and little justifications next to certain names. Any other guy might have stopped her sooner and saved her the trouble but this was David and he was laughing. There was a little too much truth involved from Melissa. "Complete!” She said at the conclusion, with an off balanced bow, rather drunk and proud. David had caught every name and in what order as he laughed so she didn't have to worry about him not listening. "Thank you for sharing Melissa." A smile wavered at his lips but he had to give credit to the girl for getting right into it. "And thank you for the ego boost in the process and shutting down others. It means a lot. And you've obviously almost met close to your limit." He added more quietly and chuckled.

David laughed more at Daniel's coughing fit, assuming it might have been because of how low he was ranked on Mel's list, but he turned to see Alex and Wes kissing. It really did suck to be him. "Shake it off!" He called, a grin spread on his features. Alex really was trying them all.

#D63B71 & Teal for thoughts. ✦ A L E X ' S O U T F I T: XXXXX

█▐ ♔┊"It'll happen. Everyone deserves that kind of love."

Alex didn't want to bring the games down with her negative opinion, so she kept her thoughts to herself, yet nodded to show that she was listening to him. Alex couldn't really have an opinion on love anyway, because she had never felt that with anyone with being too focused on her life. She wanted to do well, to make her father proud. Since being at Camp Athens, she had made the wrong choices to grab a boys attention, but it was too late to take anything back now. She'd have to roll with it, then accept the outcome of her actions.

After kissing Wes, they slowly parted, her eyes looking up to him while hoping he wasn't feeling freaked out or anything. "I've been told Aphrodite's kids are the best kissers... You may have wished you didn't do that." Wes winked at her teasingly, before retaking his original position, moving his hands from her face. His joking nature was good, because it let her know that he was cool with it, that it didn't bother him. She smiled. "You're definitely not a bad kisser." she told him, and chuckled as she rubbed her arm with her hand gently. "I think it worked..." He nodded his head in Daniel's direction, causing Alex to look over. Maybe she shouldn't of done it, because what if it made Daniel think she liked every guy? she doesn't though. She's faithful, and loyal. Wes added, "If I get my ass kicked by Daniel or your brother... I'm coming after you!" He pointed at her in a teasing but threatening manner which made Alex grin a little. "Don't worry, Romeo, you're safe. I'll take all the blame.. I promise." and she would too, because Wes wasn't the one who kissed her, so by default it wasn't his fault.


Image Some random guy had come up to her and began to call her a slut while she got a drink from the table where the refreshments were. She didn't want to start arguing though, because she knew for a fact something bad would happen for that loser. But not long after, Ajax was being rough with him and shouting in the guys face. To save herself from doing something stupid, and to make sure no-one saw her crying.. Alex took off away from the Camp, and headed towards her cabin.

She knew that her actions would cause something like this, she knew that some people wouldn't understand, but then again.. what she did with guys on Camp didn't exactly look right. She did look like she was being a guy hopper. Calling her a slut though was way out of line, because she wasn't exactly sleeping around, so that insult was stupid.

ImageImage█▐ ♔┊"Not even for your shirt?" Andy grinned. Such a beautiful cheeky woman. This time she took his shirt, leaning over towards him and resting it upon his shoulder before lightly patting his chest. "Sorry for taking you away from the party. You can go back if you want." She told him while removing her hand. Ajax looked towards the Campfire, and shook his head. "It's cool.. I need to sober up before I head back over. I'm going to be a laughing stock if I carry on drinking. I got a reputation to hold." and he did. He was suppose to be the most mature guy on Camp.

Just as he had put his shirt back on, some random guy was heading on over to them. He looked annoyed. "Aj, do us a favor, mate, and keep that little slut of a sister of yours on a tighter leash." that was it. Party over for Ajax. He grabbed the guy by the front of his shirt, and began shouting in his face. "MY WHAT? MY WHAT?!!" he growled. The guy was stupid to start this, especially since Ajax was now 10 seconds away from either punching his face in, or frying him with how much anger was surging through him. "Your little sister." he quickly corrected. Ajax shoved him back, causing the guy to stumble. "That's right. My little sister." He remained close, his eyes dangerously locked on the Apollo kid. "You want to say something else? go ahead. I dare you." he growled.

Jennova would've had to have been blind not to notice the lingering gaze of the attractive newbie that brought the beer. She didn't have to look behind her to know that he was following her. Jenn smiled to herself as she took a sip of her beer, once back in her seat. She didn't even give him a sideways glance when he sat beside her, trying to hum into a more nonchalant manner. Jenn's smiled grew slightly, taking another drink before he talked. "Perhaps you can shed some light on this," He motioned towards Wes and Alex, "thingy-ma-bob. But first what's your name?"

Smirking, she titled her head to look towards the newcomer, gazing at him from under her long hair. "Jennova," She extended her right hand towards him, "...Jennova Ambers. Daughter of Hades." Her left hand raised the beer so that she could take another drink. "Now let me guess..." Jenn looked him up and down, sizing him up. "I would say son of Aphrodite because your obviously attractive." She motioned her hand towards him, "But something about you seems a little smarter than the average bear, eh boo-boo boy?" She assumed he was smart enough to get the Yogi reference, if not that she completely discredited her last statement.

Jennova situated herself in her seat, leaning back slightly as her gaze drifted towards Alex and Wes. "As for mistletoe over there... I don't have the entire story." She ran her hand back through her hair, "I think the girl, Alex, and Daniel have a thing. Although it's obvious she likes him more than he likes her." Jenn looks over at her company, "It's a girl thing... Either that or he's afraid of commitment or something. Either way, he must have done something to make her angry or whatever because from what I can tell she kissed Wes to make Daniel jealous." Jennova took another drink, finishing off her beer. "As for Wes... He seemed like he was taken by surprise. Probably went along with it because she's his friend." She shrugged her shoulders before looking over at him.

"You're definitely not a bad kisser." Wes chuckled slightly, teasingly popping his collar. "I know." He smiled towards her. She then responded to his comment about not wanting his ass kicked, "Don't worry, Romeo, you're safe. I'll take all the blame.. I promise." That's not what he meant. "No no... I didn't mean blame. I've just been punched enough for the day."

Wes was quickly distracted as he felt sand kicked at him. His brows furrowed while snapping his head in the direction of the kicker, only to do a slight double take seeing it was Trinity. "Sorry!" What the hell!? Obviously fake sarcasm. Was she jealous? Then as she passed by him, she patted his head before sharply tugging on his hair. He was half tempted to grab her wrist right there and drag her into the woods like a child needing discipling but instead he sat there in shock... Or was it surprise?

Everything else that was going on blurred in the background as Wes' mind raced, his piercing gaze never leaving Trinity. Was she jealous? I thought she didn't even like me! Why in the hell are women so confusing?... Did I hurt her? She's going to hate me forever... He kept mulling over the questions in his head while the party continued around him. Wes might of had some cocky remark to him ranking second on Mel's hotness chart relating it to her feeling sorry for punching him but he hardly even noticed. Unable to take it anymore, he spoke towards Alex without looking at her, "Sorry... Will you excuse me?" Wes didn't wait for a response, getting up and walking straight towards Trinity.

Wes walked right past Daniel and over to Trinity. As he stopped when he was less of a foot in front of her, he heard some snide comment about Alex being a slut. It wouldn't register until later but if he sees that guy later, Wes has plans to break his nose. His face was probably the meanest it's ever looked in his life, jaw clenching, brows furrowed, practically steaming from the ears. He knew there was no use asking her nicely to come and speak with him privately. She was too proud and way too stubborn. So in a swift motion, Wes grabbed her right wrist with his left hand while leaning over. His right arm hooking behind the bend in her knees, throwing her over his shoulder. He made sure to hold her legs down tight enough so she wouldn't kick him, while also not releasing her wrist as he made his way towards the tree line. Once deep enough in so that no campers would see or hear them, he slowly and gingerly sets her down, pinning her against a tree. His right hand covers her mouth while his left index finger points a warning, "Don't talk, just listen."

Releasing her mouth, Wes then began his, lack of a better term, rant. "Alex kissed me. You hear me? She kissed me! I told her if she wanted Daniel’s attention that jealousy always gets a guys attention. Then she kissed me. No I didn’t ask her to or expect it but I went along with it, alright? And another reason she did it is because of you." He motioned towards her while pausing in the middle of his little speech. His gaze direct, not moving from hers.

"You made me jealous… Unbelievably jealous. Seeing you with that guy made my skin crawl and every time he made you smile I wanted to knock his lights out… I am crazy about you Trinity. You are so fierce and independent and stunningly gorgeous that I can’t think straight. You deserve better than me and far better than that smoothie back there. And I swear to the Gods that I’ll break his neck if he ever makes a move on you. And although I may not deserve you, you damn well better believe I will try."

By that point Wes' temper had slowly fizzled out. Sighing, he ran his hand back through his hair before scratching the back of his neck. Wes then rubbed his eyes letting out another deep breath before speaking up again. This time his voice was quiet... sincere. "Look… I never wanted to hurt you. Hell, I didn’t even know you looked at me as more than some narcissist Aphrodite spawn. But obviously I was wrong. You may not admit it to me or even yourself but that’s not the point…. I am so sorry I hurt you Trinity." He held her gaze for a long moment after he finished. After what seemed like long enough, he took a step back motioning his hand towards the party as a silent way of telling her she was free to go and he wouldn't stop her. Wes then sighed before turning back towards camp, starting to walk in the opposite direction of the party and towards his cabin.

"It's cool.. I need to sober up before I head back over. I'm going to be a laughing stock if I carry on drinking. I got a reputation to hold." Andy nodded her head slightly. That's what she was thinking when she grabbed him away from the fire. She'd hate for him to make any decisions he'd regret the next day. Andy was smiling towards Ajax as he put his shirt back on, but that quickly faded when she heard someone speak from behind them. Aj, do us a favor, mate, and keep that little slut of a sister of yours on a tighter leash."

Oh shit. Andy quickly hopped up onto her feet only to see Ajax grab the guy by his shirt, yelling in his face, "MY WHAT? MY WHAT?!!" Who was stupid enough to say something like that to Ajax?!... Apparently this guy. Andy feel the energy that was beginning to surge around Ajax, and even at one point she could have sworn she saw it. "Your little sister." The guy seemed scared, served him right. Ajax pushed the Apollo kid which made him stumble backwards. "That's right. My little sister. You want to say something else? go ahead. I dare you." He was growling at the point.

Andy didn't know what to do but if she didn't do something Ajax could fry half the people on the beach if he didn't calm down. So without any other ideas she slide her way between the Apollo kid and Ajax, placing her palm softly on his chest, looking up at him. "Ajax," She kept her voice quiet, calm and sweet. "You need to calm down... He's just some stupid asshole." Before she could continue what she was saying, for some stupid reason the Apollo kid decided to talk, again. "Yeah AJ, listen to your girl." This guy was going to get himself killed if he didn't walk away. Not that he didn't deserve it, but Ajax didn't need another skeleton in his closet.

So before Ajax could freak out again, Andy quickly spun around to face the Apollo kid. As she did so, she balled her right hand into a fist, slamming it into the guy's nose full force. Her hands the rested on his shoulders as she slammed her knee right between his legs. Finishing off by shoving him to the ground. The Apollo kid quickly took the hit, scrambling off while holding his crotch. Andy turned back around to face Ajax, cupping his face in her hands. "You'll thank me later." She knew that if she let him continue on, he'd regret the outcome down the road. "And we don't need you zapping half the people on the beach. You're better than that." Andy held his gaze while she spoke calmingly towards him. Her thumbs lightly stroking his cheeks as she cupped his face. "Plus... I like this outfit. I don't want it fried." She teased slightly, smiling up at him.

She stared at her sister as her revelations was news to her, and a fine distraction. But she caught sight of Wes probably moving in to confront her and braced herself for his own lecture. Trinity considered moving away but that what would be like surrendering territory and waving the white flag. Good old Ken doll didn't have a chance in a stand off. When he approached, he looked mad and assertive, which was a new look for Wes, catching her off guard for a moment. Rather than an exchange of words as she predicted, he grabbed her wrist then back of her legs then she was off the ground and over his shoulder. "Woah. Woah. No." Wes had his own intentions though and finally set her down in wood area. Before she could begin her rant, or even shove him for picking her up and dragging her away from a party, he covered her mouth. "Don't talk, just listen." Making her eyes widen in shock and be very aware of her back to the tree he had cornered her in.

He withdrew his hand and let the fire in him loose. "Alex kissed me. You hear me? She kissed me! I told her if she wanted Daniel’s attention that jealousy always gets a guys attention. Then she kissed me. No I didn’t ask her to or expect it but I went along with it, alright? And another reason she did it is because of you." Because of me? Trinity never grasped all the games people bothered with but to them, it must've made sense. Wes' gaze struck her as fierce, but neither gaze strayed from the other's eyes.

Image"You made me jealous… Unbelievably jealous." He continued. Obviously still not her time to speak. But Trinity making Wes jealous? Please. Was making a child of Aphrodite jealous even a thing? "Seeing you with that guy made my skin crawl and every time he made you smile I wanted to knock his lights out… I am crazy about you Trinity. You are so fierce and independent and stunningly gorgeous that I can’t think straight. You deserve better than me and far better than that smoothie back there. And I swear to the Gods that I’ll break his neck if he ever makes a move on you. And although I may not deserve you, you damn well better believe I will try." That was like information overload to her and rendered her speechless. Not even an inner snide thought occurred.

Trinity's eyes followed his every shifting movement, intent on Wes' words and eyes. "Look… I never wanted to hurt you. Hell, I didn’t even know you looked at me as more than some narcissist Aphrodite spawn. But obviously I was wrong. You may not admit it to me or even yourself but that’s not the point…. I am so sorry I hurt you Trinity." When he dropped his gaze and stepped away, she felt she could breathe again. Trinity wished she could offer words to him in return but her thoughts were scattered and words wouldn't form. Apparently her muscles were also having obedient issues as she stayed where she was.

Wes began to walk away. Trinity needed to correct him that she wasn't hurt. He had simply introduced her and been the cause to feelings she wasn't familiar with. Instead she leaned back on the tree for a moment, sighed out and returned to the party. She couldn't confront Wes until she found the right words.

Focused on trying to place where Wes was with her, she returned to her seat a little absent-minded. Until she heard she had missed some rough and tumble with an Apollo son. That would have made a perfect distraction and bedtime lullaby.

The brunette turned to look at Narissa and just blurted out what was obviously on both their minds. "Are you my sister? You have to be, you look just like da-Poseidon." At the mention of their father Narissa flinched and sighed. 'You jerks... You both knew...' She thought, thinking of her half-brother and father. Getting up Narissa headed over to the girl. Giving the girl an easy smile she held out a hand in greeting. "Hi. My name's Narissa. Nice to meet you."

"Thank you for sharing Melissa." Melissa returned the smile David gave her. "And thank you for the ego boost in the process and shutting down others. It means a lot." She though she heard him continue but she got distracted by a sudden burst of activity. Returning her gaze to him she half chuckled, half giggled. "Anytime Sweetheart."

Letting her attention wander Mel got an eyeful of Wes and Alex kissing and laughed. "Well shit. That was quick, even for a son of Aphrodite." As David shouted at Daniel Mel bite her bottom lip. "That kid really got the shit end of that stick huh?" Mel returned her attention to Alex and Wes to see them part, Wes going after Trinity and Alex going to grab something to eat or drink. When Wes threw Trinity over his shoulder Melissa jumped up but Trinity didn't seem to be fighting him and it was extremely amusing she she decided to just laugh. 'I'll make sure to figure out what that was about later. Trinity:0 Wes:1. When the kid of Apollo called Alex a slut Melissa's attention snapped over to the two of them. Anger flared through her and she immediately got a bit more sober. Despite that she went off after Alex quickly, displaying that she was definitely still buzzed at the least. She hesitated a moment at the line of the trees but saw the same guy walk up to Ajax and make a comment. By the look on Ajax's face the guy was taken care of. Without a second thought, or a first one for that matter, Melissa bolted into the forest after Alex.

Dialogue and Thought:#0000BF





Image Theo looked around, observing the people that he would be in close proximity with for the foreseeable future. This place was a mess. When alcohol was thrown into the equation, everyone's emotions had seemed to bubble to the surface. He caught glimpse of Wes talking to Trinity, and then he picked her up. He was toting her towards the woods. Theo became both worried and curious, so he decided to follow them. He went to the tree line opposite where Wes had carried her, and he went into his wolf form. He silently ran over towards where they were, arriving as Wes was in the middle of his rant.

"You made me jealous… Unbelievably jealous. Seeing you with that guy made my skin crawl and every time he made you smile I wanted to knock his lights out…" 'Who is he talking about? Me?' Theo thought, but he continued to listen intently. "I am crazy about you Trinity. You are so fierce and independent and stunningly gorgeous that I can’t think straight. You deserve better than me and far better than that smoothie back there. And I swear to the Gods that I’ll break his neck if he ever makes a move on you. And although I may not deserve you, you damn well better believe I will try."

Trinity was staring at Wes intently, and Theo was just wondering what he got himself into. "Look… I never wanted to hurt you. Hell, I didn’t even know you looked at me as more than some narcissist Aphrodite spawn. But obviously I was wrong. You may not admit it to me or even yourself but that’s not the point…. I am so sorry I hurt you Trinity." Wes walked away, and Trinity stood there shocked. Theo took his cue and got out of there. He chose to head towards the shore and return to human form before walking back up the the fire. That way it looked as if he had just walked down to the water for some air.

ImageTheo headed back up to the party with his eyes locked on Trinity. Should he continue to flirt with her? Should he be there for her right now. That could build a much needed bridge of trust with a fellow 'camper'. Theo wasn't sure what to do. He grabbed two more drinks as he saw Melissa head towards the cabins. He sat down next to Trinity, cracking his drink open, but choosing to set the other one at the feet of Trinity. He wasn't sure if she felt like drinking anymore or of what her limit might be. He wasn't the pushy type. He could drink it if she didn't. He leaned forward and looked at her. "You ok? You look kind of pale." Theo stated cautiously. He didn't want her to know more than he should. He really only followed them to make sure he wasn't about to hurt her. His intentions had never been to eavesdrop on such a personal, al be it one sided, conversation.

Image"Looks like you should tame your cat before she gets with every alleycat on the block." Jennova stated towards him which made him wash over with anger but for the wrong reason. For Jennova speaking as if Alex was his responsibility or associated with him.
"Cozy with each other, aren't they?" Daniel nodded a little. Basically, that's how it looked. He wasn't a fan of girls he liked openly kissing other guys. What was that 3 guys within two days? Hell, she could have had a little session with the new guy for all he knew. Or cared. But when a Son Of Apollo crossed her path dropping off a comment of how she was a slut, Daniel lifted his gaze and a little snarl touched his lips. But by that time he had already trudged to Ajax and obviously said the wrong words to the wrong man. And when he turned to converse with Trinity, she was gone.

Daniel sighed out finding himself disinterested in whatever other shit drama could spill over during the remainder of the fire so left with a vague, "Night," to the group.

Alex and Wes split up and David overheard someone call someone else a slut. When he looked in that vague direction, Ajax was shaking some kid and spitting in his face practically. God, he was so easily wound up about his sister. So easy to get angry in general. No wonder he'd killed his past lovers.
Turning back to the fire, Trinity was kidnapped, Mel hadn't passed anyone else a truth or dare but instead shot off to the apparent top dog on her date list. He took that as the conclusion of the night, glancing to the crowd that was slowly wandering off or having quiet conversations among themselves. "Night." Even Daniel decided to call it quits. It looked like the drama was over for the night. Until he spotted Jenn and the newer guy. His eyes narrowed in confusion of why she was being so friendly with him. He wasn't familiar with witnessing a flirty shade of her but that's what it looked like.

David shook his head and let it be her business. David moved over to the brunette and Narissa, mid-way of their introductions to each other. He might've caught siblings? David cleared his throat looking between the two. "Sorry if I'm interrupting. Did you find a cabin in the end?" He asked Narissa. He even wondered if it was okay to talk to her after giving her a lap dance.

█▐ ♔┊Any other given moment in time, Alex would of defended herself, but the words cut deep as she knew it in herself of how it all must of looked, especially to the guy that her heart had accidentally latched itself onto without warning. She couldn't help how she felt about Daniel, so she acted stupid out of jealousy of him being around other women, even if there wasn't anything there. But she had noticed him with Poseidon's daughter. Viviane. She knew she had no right to be insecure, and he could flirt with who ever he wanted because he isn't hers. Alex just wanted his undying attention to mainly be focused upon herself, and if he decided that he wanted to be more than just a thing!? then she would be his in a heart beat.

Image Foolish young girl. She had always been told to never allow people to see her weaknesses as they can be used against her, and to never fully trust those around her, or to even expect anything back from anyone. Her brother brought her up to be strong, independent.. but here she was, falling a little to pieces for the minor mistakes she was making at this camp. Hopefully no-one would agree with that Apollo Kid.

'Pull yourself together, you're the daughter of Zeus. You're going to let some misunderstood insult get to you? he doesn't know you.' she thought, prepping herself up to head back and face the party again, but being alone for now was probably for the best. She didn't want to make any more mistakes to add onto the list.

ImageWhen Alex heard someone coming!? she quickly gathered herself together, quickly wiped the tears from her eyes, and cheeks, then made it look like she was just standing there in the woods near her home for some peace and quiet. Her eyes gave her away though, because they looked slightly bloodshot from crying. Half of her was hoping it was Daniel, and the other half wasn't.. it would of been embarrassing. Maybe it was Wes? or her brother? or even Andy? either way, someone must of wanted to come and check on her.

Image█▐ ♔┊He felt Andy place her palm softly upon his chest, her eyes looking up at him as if pleading with him to calm down. "Ajax," She kept her voice quiet, calm and sweet, which caused his his gaze to fix on her with his jaw tense, his nostrils flared, and his hands balled into fists. "You need to calm down... He's just some stupid asshole." He slowly began to loosen up, but before she could continue what she was saying, the dumb ass Apollo kid decided to talk, yet again. "Yeah AJ, listen to your girl."

ImageOhhh how much he wanted to punch that son of a bitch in the face. An angry Ajax was a highly irrational Ajax, and Andy knew it. What happened next was awesome with how Andy dealt with that asshole. It wasn't a shock to him though, because he knew for a fact she could handle herself. "You'll thank me later. And we don't need you zapping half the people on the beach. You're better than that." and he was. Ajax was a good guy, but he couldn't help his anger get the better of him. With that being said.. he hadn't been doing too bad. Andy held his gaze while she spoke calmingly towards him, and her thumbs lightly stroking his cheeks as she cupped his face, causing him to swallow softly. "Plus... I like this outfit. I don't want it fried." Ajax grew grin and began to deeply chuckle before taking her hands in his, then brought them to his lips. With his eyes on her, he kissed her hands.

He glanced around at the others, and even apologized to them for wrecking the party. He glared at David for a moment before looking down at Andy.

"I'm gonna say thank you now, because if it wasn't for you!? I definitely would of killed someone, if more. Go get some rest, Andy." he told her, his voice deep yet gentle. "I want you to see something tomorrow." With that, he softly cupped the back of her neck, pulled her in gently towards him, and lingered a loving, devoted kiss upon her forehead with his eyes closed before taking off towards his cabin. He had made it back home before Alex, and he was worried sick as to where she had gone, so he went out looking for her considering she was no where inside their cabin.

When Melissa caught up to Alex she took in every detail of the scene and then approached. Placing her hands into her pockets Melissa noted the obvious signs that the daughter of Zeus had been crying but she kept her expression inquisitive and, shockingly, worried. 'It's not like I wasn't having a mental break down earlier. Don't want her to think I'm judging her.' Once she was close enough to have a conversation talking at normal volume Melissa stopped but remained silent for a few moments. Looking for the right words Melissa takes a hand from her pocket and rubs the back of her neck with it.

"So... I'm just gonna cut to it, I've never much been one for subtlety. I know you barely know me and, despite what you might have heard or think, I get what it feels like. Other people judging you is bad enough but when you can see where there coming from... or even agree with them..." Melissa trailed off with a frown and she looked away, her thoughts wandering to memories where she had felt similar to what she guessed Alex felt. Shaking her head Melissa looked back at Alex and shrugged a bit. "Anyways... If you need someone to talk to who won't judge my door's always open. I know I'm probably the last person you'd want to talk to but the offer stands either way. No one should have to go through that alone." Melissa blushed and looked away again before clearing her throat.

"Um, Yeah. That was it. I bet you're tired and you just had to deal with that asshole Apollo kid... I'm sorry to bug you. I bet
you want to be alone so I'll just go."
Melissa, still rocking a strong alcoholic influence, had started to rant. Somewhere
deep down, in the back of her mind, a sober part of her was shocked that she even had the capability of being so kind but at
the same time even she knew she was really a softy at heart. Turning away, Melissa looked around to figure out which direction her cabin was in.

Image█▐ ♔┊He had been searching for his little sister the moment she wasn't at the cabin, and his stomach flipped with worry. Of course he knew she was capable of handling herself, but not as well as Ajax could because she hadn't trained as much as him. She was new to everything. At this point, he was blaming himself for not going after her. He had stayed with Andy because she was calming him down for a good reason, but he should of left and gone after Alex.

ImageIt wasn't long until he was facing Hades himself, causing Ajax to charge up a bolt with his right hand, ready to throw it at his Fathers enemy, who naturally also became his own enemy. "You're not welcome here.. get out." he warned, but it only caused Hades to laugh. "You're definitely like your father.. foolish." with a swift movement of the staff he was holding in his hand, he knocked Ajax to the ground like he was nothing. "You forget that you're not a God. I am much stronger than you'll ever be.. unless of course you take your Fathers place at the throne, but that, isn't going to happen. I plan on killing your father myself. After everything he's done to me, he deserves nothing more than a eternity of Darkness." Ajax slowly stumbled to his feet. "You won't get away with this.. I'll kill you before you even get a chance of getting close to my father." Hades smirked. He loved a challenge. His staff lit up, and as black smoke circled around them, Ajax looked to his sister who had ran out of the cabin.

He furrowed his brows at her because he wasn't even sure if he'd be back this time.

█▐ ♔┊Alex wasn't expecting Melissa to come after her, or anyone at all to be honest. She as originally just heading home to call it a night as she couldn't be bothered to stand up to an asshole who didn't know her, and the words coming out of his mouth weren't true anyway, so was there any point in being defensive about it? no, there wasn't.

Image Alex really didn't need the speech from Mel, but she knew that she meant well and was just trying to help her feel better, but Alex was resilient. "I know you mean well, and I really appreciate everything, Mel, but yeah.. I just want to be alone for now." she told her calmly as the girl was slightly confused as to which way she needed to go for her cabin. Alex chuckled. "Mel..." Alex then pointed in the direction to the girls cabin. "That way.." hopefully she wouldn't get lost, and hopefully she wouldn't wander passed the invisible barrier that was only seen by Demigods. It also protected them from the threats outside of camp, but now and again, something found its way inside. How? who knows.

ImageOnce Mel was gone, Alex headed inside. She was hoping that her brother was okay, because from what she heard!? that Apollo kid almost got a short life span. How could he be so stupid to go up against two of Zeus's children? eh, who cares.. it's over and done with. "AJ, you want something to ea--" she cut off from her question, and froze on the spot. He wasn't even in his room. She went to his window to see if he was anywhere close by, and noticed that he was heading up towards the cabin. He must of been out looking for her. She smiled at that. He was never going to change no matter how old Alex got. Her smile soon faded though, because out of nowhere, Hades had grabbed her brother. "AJAX!!!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.

She sprinted outside as fast as she could to stop him, but soon as she got to them, Ajax looked to her before Hades vanished with him. "NOOO!!!" she screamed, then stood there crying. It was her fault, she knew it. If only she had been at the cabin before him, then he'd of known where she was. But she hadn't been too far away, so maybe they had just missed each other some how? she didn't know what to do at the point, but she ran through camp yelling into the night. "HELP!! SOMEBODY HELP. PLEASE!" she loudly begged before deciding to run towards Andy's cabin which was the closest. Once there!? she began to knock on the door frantically while out of breath. She didn't like waking people up, but this, was an emergency.

Location: Forest Near Alex's Cabin-->Her Cabin-->Forest
Interacting With: Alex Valis-->Her Dogs-->Trinity, Daniel, Hydra

Melissa looked back at Alex for a second, just as she spoke. "I know you mean well, and I really appreciate everything, Mel, but yeah.. I just want to be alone for now." Melissa nodded and gave Alex a smile before continuing on to where she thought her cabin was. "Mel..." Melissa looked back as Alex pointed in practically the opposite direction. "That way.." Melissa giggles and headed off in the aforementioned direction.

She reached her cabin after a good seven minutes of walking and stumbling. Opening the door she was attacked by her three dogs, each jumping and licking at Melissa. Laughing, genuine joy lit up Melissa's face. "Hey guys! Did you miss me?" Picking up Demon Melissa headed to the kitchen to make some food. She had made sure to stock up the week before and had even made some stuff for quick meals. Pulling out a container from the fridge Melissa set Demon down. Grabbing bread and three small plates Melissa grabbed a spoon and scooped some chicken salad onto each. Setting the three plates down Melissa looked sternly at her dogs, who all sat a few feet away from where she set the plates. Each wagged their tails, Demon being the only one looking at the food while the other two stared at Melissa. "Okay, Go Ahead." The dogs lept on their plates and Melissa laughed as she turned to finish making her sandwich.

Once she had finished eating Melissa was glad to feel her thoughts begin to unscramble. As the alcohol wore off Melissa patted each of her dogs on the head before heading towards her room to get her workout bag. Halfway through packing her bag her dogs started barking loudly and snarling. Stepping out of her room she frowned to see them all facing the door. It wasn't until a few moments later that she heard Wes' scream. "HYDRAAAAAAA!!!!!" Melissa frowned but then she heard the roar of the beast. Dropping the stuff in her hands Melissa ran back into her room and opened her weapon armoire. Yanking on a back harness Melissa sheathed a sword in each scabbard and then grabbed two more swords.

Running out of her cabin Melissa raced towards the commotion as fast as she could. Once she reached the scene she swore and took in who all was there. Seeing Daniel and Trinity, Melissa let out a relieved sigh and shouted at the two of them. "Trinity! What the hell! Never leave your cabin without a weapon!" Knowing that her half-sister's reflexes were just as good as her own Melissa tossed the two swords in her hands to the girl. "Daniel how good are you at elemental magic?!" As she spoke she started towards the hydra quickly. Unsheathing the two swords on her back Melissa slicked into it's left hind leg, smiling in satisfaction as she felt her blades cut through muscles and hit bone.

Daniel jumped as Viviane ducked behind the same tree as him. "Whatever trick or magic you have up your sleeve, now would be a good time to use it," she told him. He couldn't agree more if only he had some pre-planned magic up his sleeve fit for dealing with a Hydra. He peeked around the trunk too then pushed himself back against it when he saw the giant serpent head appear behind a tree. "Thanks for bringing it towards us by the way." Daniel whispered to her. Daniel peeked out again, having to know where it was looking for them just in time to see Trinity dive towards it and cut clean through a head. "That a girl, T!" It's fire was unleashed and it thrashed it's tail out at her.

Two more heads grew on the creature and it stalked towards their hiding place. "Daniel how good are you at elemental magic?!" Melissa had yelled at him then proceeded to run and slash the creature's hind leg. How he got all the magic responsibility was beyond on him. "Not good enough!" He ran back to the opening. If Wes was in his right mind, he had the right idea about leading it to the opening instead. More warriors would have a clear shot and there'd be a whole lot less damage to trees and wood area.

"You're better with elements than me. Can you cause a tsunami or something to slow that thing down?" He asked Viv. Since any slice or hack motion wasn't effective at this rate, they needed to device a plan. ASAP. Daniel was pacing and snapping his fingers as he scanned his brain for how to take down a muti-headed pissed off beast. He was really scratching his brain for this one before his fists balled. "Why are there so many legends!?" Daniel yelled in frustration.

ImageThe Gods had never underestimated their children, and they always silently praised them, but they needed to hear the words for themselves. Maybe Zeus would grant each God to spend a day with their children before they'd need to return back to Mount Olympus. That would surely be the greatest gift for everyone.

As the winds changed from the East, Poseidon watched over his Daughters intently. He couldn't believe how much they had both grown. Poseidon regretted ever leaving them, but his duties as a God were needed. It was against their rule to spend time upon Earth, because when a God remains on Mortal ground for too long.. they become Mortal. Many Gods in the past had given up their power for a mortal they were in love with, but not Poseidon, Ares, Athena, Hecate, or Zeus. They had no intentions of leaving their home. Ever.

His concentration on them soon broke as he noticed something emerging within the Camp itself. "Hydraaaa!!!" one of them screamed, causing Poseidon to tense up at his post. He was close to the edge, ready to dive in and take over, to rid the camp of such a beast. "Zeus.. Hades has conjured a Hydra." The look on his face was covered in worry, but he needed to remain positive, and strong.


Image This wasn't what he expected, not this early on in their camp days. "And he's taken your son." The Clouds began to swirl, turning black before a lightening storm began to slowly form with the rage that was building inside of him. He couldn't step in, he wanted to, but he had faith someone would rescue him and make it right. Zeus clenched his jaw, and headed on over to the edge of their lookout point, his eyes taking in the entire camp and where everyone was. "We need to get down there before that thing kills them." just before Poseidon could take off, Zeus shot his arm out in-front of him to stop him. "No. They need to do this alone. The war will be much harder than this. Calm yourselves. Consider it their training."

As much as he wanted to disobey Zeus's orders, Poseidon was the most loyal among the Gods. He never once stepped out of line from stupidity, but from following his heart, and that was not punishable by death to Zeus.

"I know you want to do what is right, I know you want to keep them safe, especially your children.. but wait. You'll understand why when the time comes."

Image
Ares rolled his eyes from the little corner he was sat in, polishing his pride and joy. His war hammer. "Someones been paying too much attention to the seers again. They have been wrong many of times, and for one!? I do not trust one eyed witches." he glared before turning back to his weapon. "The war might not even come, but I hope it does, for war is my legacy." he stood up then, and began to swing his sword in fancy moves, causing the steel to ring through the air.

Image
His showing off caused Poseidon to laugh, while Zeus remained quiet for the moment. Typical of Ares not to take it seriously, he saw it as a game that he was confident he'd win. Athena, she was more worried than all of them. "I can't have my children down their facing that thing.. you have to stop it before it gets out of hand. Hydras are too dangerous.. Hades has gone too far I--" Athena cut off, and her mouth fell open with shock as the Hydra managed to already almost hurt one of the children. "Please, I beg you. Let us help them."

Andy had zoned out when David turned his attention towards Alex, asking what she'd do for him. Regardless of his rough exterior, she could tell he was a good guy. Maybe it was because she asked him, and he seemed to not totally detest her presence. But either way she was grateful. "Are you ready?" David asked them both while taking their hands. In no time they faded through flames and darkness until they were in the Underworld. Before he released her hand, Andy turned towards him, gently squeezing his hand. "Thank you David." She whispered, the gratitude sincere.

"A few rules newbies, don't go yelling and screaming for Ajax. If he's not dead already he's unconscious. You'll only piss off the dead and my dog and alert Hades of our whereabouts. Stay on the path and try keep up. I have an idea where Hades has taken him." Andy felt bad having David turn against his own father. Regardless of his relationship with the man it wasn't right. She gently moved him aside to speak quietly with him so Alex wouldn't hear. "Look I don't want to cause problems between you and your father... Just... Just tell me where Hades is. I have a plan." She looked him dead in the eye not saying her intentions behind the words. If David was at all as smart as he looked he probably knew deep down.

After a moment or 2 passed, she cleared her throat letting her gaze drift momentarily towards the saddened Alex. "If you tell me where he is you can go before it's too late... I don't want to drag you down into this." Andy looked back towards David. Her plan was mad and would probably get every form of contradiction and argument but from what she knew about Hades... She already knew they couldn't just simply grab Ajax and get out without a price.

Good thing I work out. Is all Wes was thinking as she sprinted full speed away from the hydra. It wasn't until he felt the rumbling that was following him turn in a different direction. He came to a skidding halt, glancing over his shoulder to watch the beast go towards Viviane who looked like she used some water on the beast.

Wes was trying to look around for anything he could use as a weapon when his attention was broken hearing his name shouted, "Wesley!" He froze, turning his head to look towards who called his name, expecting it to be a worried Alex. But to his surprise... It was a worried Trinity. "You okay?" He glanced over himself, surprised that he actually seemed ok. "Yeah... I think!" He stood there catching his breath as he then saw her climb a tree. Then within a split second she was on top of the beast and raising an axe in the air. Oh god she doesn't know! "Trinity! Don't cut off the-" He stopped mid sentence as she severed the head, watching as 2 grew back in its place. "...Head."

Watching on edge as the Trinity moved about the Hydra before one head knocked her off then continued after the Poseidon girl. He needed to do something. Quickly glancing around, he realized he was near the outdoor work out equipment. Without any other present options, he sprinted towards it. He grabbed the 25lbs circular weight off one side of the dumbbell. "Hey ugly!!" As the hydra turned to look towards him, Wes began to spin around working up momentum. He then released the weight, sending it flying through the air and slamming into one of the heads.

He went to cheer until he realized it only pissed off the monster. It reared back its heads growling before charging towards him. "Son of a bitch!!!!" Pivoting on his heels he ran back towards the work out equipment, grabbing the now unweighted barbell. Gripping it like a baseball bat he then turned to face the approaching monster. But before he got a chance to swing the monster was leaning in to snap him in its jaws. Just before it's fangs closed in on him he held the bar out to catch the bite. With the Hydra biting down on the barbell, it whipped its head and him along with it, tossing him into a tree.

Son of Athena || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Determined

It seemed like everyone was doing their part except for him. He was just standing there thinking of what to do. If he had a real weapon he would undoubtedly attack but that wasn't his case and he was in no rush to be set aflame tonight. So far Viv seemed to stay out of trouble, meanwhile everyone else were doing what they could.

Image Trinity had come up behind him, "Can you aim?" she said grabbing his arm before sauntering off to attack the beast herself. Ian felt the power surge through him then from her touch. He then watched as Trinity went for the head, "not that!", but it was too late. The Hydra's head had been cleanly sliced from it's body but was quickly replaced by two others. Damn Hydra's and their regeneration thingy of heads. Ian was biding his time. He wanted to wait for the right opportunity to strike. Whether that be if someone was about to be attacked or waiting for a clear enough shot. It was a waiting game now to see what the Hydra would do.

It was Mel's turn to go on the offense now. She went right for the beast cutting him to the bone. A good strike, but not enough to fall the beast, if anything it only enraged him further. It was at this point that Wes went for it, knocking the beast in the head with a weight. A moment later the beast came charging at him but Wes had deflected the attack with a barbell and the Hydra whipping Wes, left him on ground by a group of trees. The Hydra turned then roaring fire. With it's stance, Ian was sure he had a clear shot of the beast heart, now or never, he thought as he let the make shift spear fly through the air hoping it would find it's mark before it went for Wes. Ian didn't anticipate the speed of the Hydra though and the next thing he knew he was putting one of the beast's heads in a head lock, to avoid being bitten, before he was viciously thrown from it. Last thing he heard was Viviane's scream as his vision blackened and he fell into a sweet unconsciousness.

Daughter of Poseidon || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Tense

Her heart was beating out of her chest. She was nervous but this was also the most entertaining thing she'd done at camp thus far. Viv wasn't exactly an adrenaline junkie, but the high she was feeling at this very moment made her buzz and she had to admit, it felt good if not a bit jittery. "Thanks for bringing it towards us by the way." She grimaced at that and peeked around the corner again to see the Hydra circling around looking for it's next target. Trinity had lunged for the beast, slicing it's head clean off. She went still for a moment thinking the beast would put up less of a fight then but soon two other heads grew in it's place.

Image Shit! Now what?! She looked out from the tree again to see Melissa hacking away at the beast.That will surely slow it down, hopefully... "You're better with elements than me. Can you cause a tsunami or something to slow that thing down?" That seemed to clear some of the fog in her head. She had powers, she needed to use them now. "I can try." As she was about to summon a large wave of water to knock the beast off balance, the Hydra suddenly turned it's attention to Wes. Viv couldn't help but watch as he sent a weight flying through the air to hit one of the many heads of the Hydra. But that only seemed to make the beast more furious. The Hydra went charging after Wes then and she watched in horror as the beast closed in and almost chomped down on him before Wes shielded himself with a barbell but was later tossed to the side like a rag doll.

For a moment there was a silence that rang in the air as the beast decided what to do next and everyone was stunned in silence. It turned then spraying fire all around. That's when she saw the branch soar through the air and hit the beast on it's upper front flank, spearing him and tearing through flesh. The Hydra let out a wild roar and went charging for the assailant who threw the branch. Viv turned to see Ian standing in the center. "Ian get out of the--" she shouted as she ran towards him. Her warning fell short though before she saw Ian catapulting through the air as he tried to hang onto the beasts head. "Nooo!" Viviane stopped dead and felt a rage like she never felt before. Enough was enough, first Wes now Ian, this had to stop. The ground began to shake violently and crumble beneath the Hydra's feet. The Hydra tried to move out of the way but suddenly fell into the crater that had just been created by Viviane's fury.

Image A loud scream awoke Theo shortly after he had passed out on his bad. He sat up and listened. He could feel that something was wrong. His hunting senses were going bonkers, telling him something bad was occurring. He shot out of bed and went to the top of the tree house. He couldn't believe his eyes. He was staring about a third of the way back to the beach right at a three headed monster. 'Holy shit. Why is there a fucking Hydra in camp. What did I get myself into?' Theo thought as he watched the scene unfold before him. A few of the campers, Trinity included, had gathered to fight the monster. Theo dashed downstairs to grab his bow, ran back upstairs to the balcony, and leapt into the trees.

As he rushed there he focused all of his senses on the fight. He wasn't the best tree leaper yet, but it was a talent of his heritage, and he needed to use it at the moment. He almost fell a few times but managed to make some graceful saves. He arrived at the scene and posted up in a tree. Trinity had cut off a head. Two had grown in it's place. Everyone was working together frantically, and Theo didn't want to interrupt their teamwork. He could help from here. Steadliy he set an arrow in his bow, aimed, took a deep breath, and let it fly.

ImageHe nailed it. He had taken the hydra's eye out. 'One down... one, two, three... seven to go.' Theo continued. He was hitting every mark. The hydra noticed too. The ugly beast was blind now, and he would be much easier to fight. Theo smiled and climbed down the tree.

ImageAll of them had shouted out mid motion not to cut the head, but the momentum was already going and happened. No one taught her a rougher lesson than the Hydra itself though. "That a girl, T!" She climbed to her feet, mostly to face her critic. “I’m sorry, I skipped killing Hydras 101!” She shouted in her defense.

The beast had moved on by that point and everyone had joined in on the chorus of fighting and distracting the beast from one another. Mel had tossed her blades, which she caught and made do with, following the battle. Wes was tossed aside, then Ian who did prove to have the accuracy but the Hydra had speed. No one could wrestle free-form with the beast. Though she wanted to tend to the boys her place was on the field of battle.

No one was more effective than Viviane in her emotional state after Ian was knocked to unconsciousness. Trinity had to stop and find her balance as the quake shook the earth and the hydra fell within her crater. There was plenty of more work to be done, however. She continued to race towards the beast, when a stray arrow took to the air and pierced the beast right in the eye. Trinity grabbed Daniel, watching the beast thrash around in fury. She couldn't aim for it's heart, but it's feet weren't moving much and she needed it to stay that way. “Help me out, okay?” Figuring she was covered from all it's awful fire breathing heads with the effective archer and Viv, Daniel and Melissa active on field she slid in the crater with it, a mere ant to a giant. She didn't waste time though and plunged her blade through its left back claw and kept pushing and twisting until it impaled the earth as well. Trinity moved to the next thick right front claw watching the body writhe in fury, hearing it roar and snarl. Trinity shoved her last blade through. In exchange, she got a nice cut from one of it's giant talons grazing her skin. “Ah!” It could have been much worse if she hadn't jumped back in time. Instinctively she cradled her cut that poured red while she scooted away from the hydra's body that had significant enough limitation to it's body movements for now.

Daughter of Poseidon || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Tense

As soon she regained control Viv ran over to where Ian was laying. Grabbing his arms she half lifted, half dragged his body away from the danger zone. Settling him down again she knelt beside him, "alright pretty boy, rise and shine." She then smacked his face causing Ian's eyes to spring open and glare at her contemptuously. Breathing out a sigh of relief she closed her eyes and looked towards the heavens to thank the Gods. Hopefully they'd have their backs for the rest of this disaster.

Image Looking back at Ian, who was nursing his left shoulder, she felt to make sure it wasn't dislocated or broken. Thankfully it wasn't. "Don't move from here, you're obviously hurt and once we've taken care of this, I'll come back and heal you." Being Poseidon's kid came with a lot of perks and healing them with water was one of them. As she got up she looked back over her shoulder to make sure Ian hadn't moved before she ran over to where everyone was on the attack.

The crater she had created seemed to have contained the beast nicely but it was still thrashing about. Not for long. With one thing on her mind she stood above the crater at the ledge and brought forth some water. Focusing all her energy and thoughts into the water, she turned the water from it's liquid form to it's solid, creating a large dagger like icicle. Aiming for it's heart she sent the icicle forward with a flick of her wrists. Unfortunately she missed her intended target and got the beast's upper flank. That's when she saw Daniel uses his powers to lift Trinity from the crater and not too gently dropped her. She ran over to Trinity then noticing the amount of blood coming from her cut, "good news is that it doesn't seem too deep, bad news is that the more you move around, the more blood you'll lose. So I'm just going to do something real quick, don't freak." Ushering forth some water she placed her hands, that had been encircled by the water, above Trinity's cut and closed her eyes. The water began to glow and within seconds the once gushing cut had closed up, leaving nothing but a scar on her flesh.

Son of Athena || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Determined

He was dreaming of something sweet. Running through the woods with a beautiful girl. She'd managed to catch up to him and pinned him to a tree. Grabbing his face, she looked deeply into his eyes. Expecting her to kiss him, he started to lean in before the girl from his dream lashed out at him and slapped him. That's when he opened his eyes and looked to see that Viviane was kneeling beside him. "A man get's knocked unconscious and you can't even let him enjoy it. Thanks a lot," he grumbled. That's when he felt the pierce of pain in his left shoulder. Wincing he held it.

Image "Don't move from here, you're obviously hurt and once we've taken care of this, I'll come back and heal you." He rolled his eyes at her. "Sure mom," he retorted as she ran back towards the battle. From the outskirts of the area of danger, Ian watched closely as he saw everyone doing their own thing. Cutting the Hydra here, shooting an arrow there. They weren't working as an organized team. Watching them he began formulating a plan. If they were to defeat the Hydra, they needed to be in sync and work as a well oiled machine. Attack together as a unit, not one by one, it only seemed to make the Hydra thrash around more.

Not being able to stand being away from the action any longer Ian got up from the floor and made his way back to where everyone was. Picking up a spear Wes had managed to find, he made it to where he could see everyone. "Hey! If we want to get rid of this ugly thing once and for all we have to work together! Tree boy," he looked to Theo, "good job with blinding it. Everyone else, immobilize it. Stake his feet to the ground, get his knees, anything. And Viv, keep his heads preoccupied putting out any flame he'll try to torch us with." Lifting the spear with his right arm, not to aggravate his left shoulder, he tossed it to another knee, hitting it with precision. "Uh, go team go?"

Thoughts: #FF0000|Speech: #CC0000
Location: Forest
Interacting With: Wes and Hydra

"Not good enough!" Everything happened quickly, right after Melissa sliced into the left hind leg of the hydra it half turned, snapping at her with two of the heads. She dodged once and sliced the nose of one before it's attention left her to focus on Wes. "Son of a bitch!!!!" Melissa ran after the creature and winced, swearing when it tossed Wes aside like a doll. The hydra then sprayed flames around itself, causing Melissa to pause. The next attack was better, another of the campers throwing a spear, it impaling the beast in the chest area. Melissa raised a brow in surprise. 'That was pretty good, if he had been an Ares kid he could have done some fatal damage...' When he grabbed one of the lunging heads Melissa swore and started forward again but he was almost instantly thrown off. The earth shaking freaked Melissa out and she stopped from attacking the creature once again to regain her balance.

Once she had regained her balance and focused back on the fight Trinity had already leapt down into the crater and pinned two of the creatures feet into the ground. She realized that her sister was hurt but also that she couldn't stop fighting to help her. "Did you curse them?" Melissa smiled. "Good idea..." Jumping into the crater while the beast was distracted Melissa slammed a blade into it's right hind claw. Moving quickly Melissa ducked out of the way of Wes' spear and lunged towards the front of the beast. While it's attention was focused on it's new injuries Melissa grabbed the blade in it's left front claw, muttering something before moving to the next and doing the same thing. Just as Melissa let go one of the heads slammed into her, throwing her out of the crater. Though she was quick to get up and head towards where Wes was her head was spinning from her crash landing. "Those blades aren't moving any time soon. We need to kill it... If you guys can distract the heads I think I can get under it again and impale it's heart with one of these..." As she spoke Melissa picked up one of the spears Wes had gotten. "With a strong enough curse it should be fatal."

ImageWith Daniel's lack of handling Trinity was being thrown through the air once more and crashed on the ground. She glared at the back of his head as she slowly brought herself to sit up watching the others carry on with their hydra slaying duties. Though she had to admit, she was relieved to see Viviane move over to her. "good news is that it doesn't seem too deep, bad news is that the more you move around, the more blood you'll lose. So I'm just going to do something real quick, don't freak." The child of Poseidon told her. She shook her head to assure Viv otherwise, "It's..." before she could get anymore words out Viviane was healing her wound with her abilities and made Trinity smile in appreciation. "Thank you." She rolled her arm, testing it's mobility and healed use. "That's one way to do it."

ImageAny humor or amusement from the situation vanished quickly when she heard Ian announce a plan. But what really got her was his order to Viviane. ... "And Viv, keep his heads preoccupied putting out any flame he'll try to torch us with." No thanks to her and adding the extra head.

Trinity got back to her feet and naturally returned to the action in time to hear Melissa's break off a plan towards Wes more than anyone. "If you guys can distract the heads I think I can get under it again and impale it's heart with one of these..." Trinity slipped in front of Wes defensively. "He is not a distraction." Then turned to the arguable male. "You are not a distraction." She warned. Obviously Wesley could handle himself with Hydras but he wasn't playing pretty target. "He can aim. We got three marksmen, we should keep them in their strong field."

She moved in front of the enormous heads with Viviane. She figured she weren't the best aim and she had no intention of sharing the crater with the beast again, so this position would suit her and her high reflexes. Plus she liked Poseidon's daughter and would definitely defend someone she likes well.

"...Everyone else, immobilize it. Stake his feet to the ground, get his knees, anything. And Viv, keep his heads preoccupied putting out any flame he'll try to torch us with." The new guy said, grabbing one of the spears he brought and threw it through the Hydra's other knee. Wow I did something right? He nodded his head in agreement with himself as he reached down to grab a spear.

"...If you guys can distract the heads I think I can get under it again and impale it's heart with one of these..." Wes put up his finger to interject. But then Trinity stepped in front of him which caused him to double take. "He is not a distraction." She then looked towards him, "You are not a distraction." Wes smiled slightly as she continued. "He can aim. We got three marksmen, we should keep them in their strong field." Before Trinity walked away, he grabbed her arm worried about her cut. He obviously didn't see Viviane heal her. When he saw it was only a scar, he let out a relieving sigh before releasing her arm.

Wes grabbed another spear from the pile he brought over and watched the Hydra. Even though it was pinned, it seemed to be writhing a lot from its injuries. He couldn't help but feel bad for the animal, but unfortunately they had no choice. That beast could easily kill everyone at camp. He continued to watch the Hydra and when it stopped moving momentarily he let loose the spear. It whirled through the air and slammed into the front right elbow.

Looking over the arm making sure she hadn't missed anything. "Thank you." Trinity smiled in appreciation, and Viviane couldn't help but smile back, "anything for a friend, and to keep you in this. If we want to take this thing down, we're going to need someone with your skills." Rolling back onto her heels and standing up Viviane overheard Ian. "Stake his feet to the ground, get his knees, anything. And Viv, keep his heads preoccupied putting out any flame he'll try to torch us with." Naturally the son of Athena would come up with some sort of battle plan. And of course naturally, he wouldn't heed her warning and listen to her when she had told him to stay put until she could go over and help heal him. For now she looked over to him with a I'll-get-you-later-look but she nodded her head in agreement with his plan.

Image Standing over the crater where the Hydra's heads were positioned she looked down upon the struggling beast. If it wasn't trying to kill them and destroy the camp, she would feel sorry for it. She looked to her left to see Trinity standing beside her. The Hydra partially blind heard there steps approaching and hurled a flame towards them. Using her water manipulation powers, Viv quickly put out the flame using the water she had brought forth from the river. "We'll have to stay on our toes, the more it struggles the more violent it gets. I got your back if you have mine," she smiled towards Trinity. She knew she could count on her fast reflexes and she would need them with so many heads trying to kill them.

Son of Athena || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Determined

Ian stood above the crater trying to read the Hydra's next move. With Wes' next throw, the spear landed on the Hydra's front right elbow. "Good throw. I think that takes care of the immobilizing." He looked over every limb to make sure all of them where taken out or pinned down. Now let's just hope it stayed that way. Mel was in the crater trying to impale it but with the way the Hydra was thrashing around it place, it seemed like a hard target. Ian just hoped that if she wanted to work from within the crater she wouldn't get hurt. The Hydra had done enough damage as it is.

Image He looked over to the right where Viviane and Trinity were standing. The beast had heard them approaching and was flinging a fireball their way. Just as he had been about to issue out a warning, Viviane had saw the flame coming at them and had put it out before it even reached them. And that's why I put you at the heads. Reaching down for another spear he began calculating the Hydra's moves. He was slowing down and getting real tired, not surprisingly after all the damage they all inflicted on it already. What Ian had noticed was that every time the Hydra made some sort of large movement or put in effort to hurt one of them, there were a few seconds of pause after because it was trying to regain control and energy to move again. He looked to Wes, "notice how after it makes any movement towards the girls, it has to pause for a breathe? That's when we need to strike, and quickly because it's only for a short period." Flexing his shoulder to get ready to toss another spear at the Hydra, he waited for it's next move.

Alex: #D63B71Teal for thoughts. Ajax: BlueGreen for thoughts.

█▐ ♔┊ImageThe help that Alex needed had finally come in the form of two staff members. "Alexandria, what happened?" they had asked her. She didn't know. "It doesn't matter for now, just help him. Please." She pointed at his body while lightly giving her order with worry in the back of her throat. One of the staff members had hurried to the supplies shed and got one of the medical stretchers that was propped up against one of the walls, and hurried back before both of them were placing her unconscious brother onto it. They carried him to their Camp medic hut with Alex remaining close to the stretcher, her feet moving in hurried steps to keep up before they were laying him on the table that was within the center of the room. "You may want to step back a little.. give us some space to work with." Alex didn't argue, she just took a couple of steps back with tears pooling up in her eyes. This can't be happening.. not now.

ImageShe never took her eyes off any of them working on Ajax, but she remained silent so they wouldn't lose concentration. They checked every inch of him, even checked for a pulse. There wasn't one. "Quick.. CPR!" Alex panicked, but she remained where she was. She didn't want to get in the way. What seemed like hours was only 7 minutes of trying to restart his heart after it stopped, but it was no use. They finally turned to the young Valis Sibling to deliver the worst news of her life. The way they looked at her once turning their attention to her, She knew that look all too well. That look was exactly the same one that her mother had given her the night her Grandma had passed away in her sleep. "Why have you stopped? help him." "I'm sorry, Alex.. he's gone. It's too late." Alex barged passed her with her shoulder, knocking her out of the way before she was by her brothers side. "No.." She looked him over, even searching his face as if looking for some sign of life. They had to of gotten it wrong. "They're lying.. wake up, AJ.. please, just open your eyes for me. Open them.. open your eyes!" she shouted, then began to sob while leaning over to him. She clung to him while placing a gentle, loving goodbye kiss to his forehead with her eyes closed.

Image Before she pulled back, she whispered how much she loved him, and that she'll see him again one day, but covered her mouth with shock. She was crying more while her stomach felt as though she was going to be sick. She had to get out of the room. "We did our best.." "Shut up." Alex scoffed, then left the room with her hand over her stomach. Her brother was gone, he had stopped existing, no longer the heir to the throne of Mount Olympus, no more light to protect her from the darkness, and no more best-friend.

Image While using a tree for some support, the rage bubbled up inside of her before letting out a spine tingling shout of pain from her heart tearing into a thousand pieces. She had snapped. Hearing a roar in the distance, Alex kicked off from the ground, flying towards the source of danger. This thing was going down! "GET BACK.. MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" she warned everyone from the skies before darting in and out around it's heads. The hydras were trying their best to capture her, but Alex was too fast, and caused their necks to tie up in knots before she hovered above the ground.

Her eyes began to glisten a little with golden flecks as she held out her hands, charging up the lightening between them like she was holding an invisible ball in-front of herself. Wild winds swirled around her entire body like a hurricane as she began to slowly move higher and higher above the monster, then once high enough? she pushed the invisible ball out, causing a big electrical charge to crash into the monsters chest. She kept the flow going, not cutting it off once as it strangle the monsters heart to death. The Whirl of wind was also still going around her. She was like the inside of the storm.

Trinity was unaccustomed to half naked and beaten men touching her, so when Wes touched her arm, she retracted. He didn't linger longer than necessary and seemed satisfied with her fully healed arm as he released her. She appreciated his concern on some level and sure, even if she weren't healed she'd charge body first into battle but what could he do to stop a descendant of Ares from doing what they were made to do? Only Wes would find a way.

ImageBefore a ball of flame could be hurled towards her, Viviane extinguished it. "We'll have to stay on our toes, the more it struggles the more violent it gets. I got your back if you have mine." Trinity smiled and nodded. It felt good to know someone had her back and a teammate was present. Trinity would gladly have Viviane's back. Her opportunity to return the favor appeared sooner than she thought as one head lunged to snap at the Daughter of Poseidon and Trinity jumped forward and thrust her sword upwards beneath it's jaw. Trinity held it there, and cringed as little blood droplets fell on her. "Don't decapitate it. Don't decapitate it." She murmured to herself and withdrew her sword and saved Theo one less eye to shoot by jabbing a blade in it quickly.

Not long after more impaling and distracting the creature's heads, did Alex appear. "GET BACK.. MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" She was almost a blur but Trinity knew that voice from previous command with the minotaur. She just hoped this one a had a better outcome. Trinity backed away more and more as Alex's powers seemed to amplify in a fit of rage. With the beast pinned in the crater and the help of Viviane's powers, the hydra received an intense shock and likely anyone nearby.

If that didn't effect the creature, she didn't know what would.

Dialogue and Thought:#0000BF





ImageThe battle raged around Theo as he racked his brain for ideas on how to kill the beast. He honestly had no clue. None of them had ever seen anything like this before. This wasn't a simple creature. This was a legendary beast. This was beyond them, but Theo was confident that together they could take it on.

A plan had begun to formulate. Trinity had ordered Theo, along with the other marksman, to stay put and continue to weaken the hydra. Theo found a solid vantage point in a tree and fired away. He attacked the places where he though bone joints would be. If he could get an arrow in those joints, the hydra would feel every move. He hit most of his spots. The battle seemed to be turning to the demi gods, but Theo still couldn't help but wonder: 'Why in the fuck is the infamous hydra attacking a bunch of demi god kids? And how are they going to kill it?'

There was a storm brewing around them out of no where. Theo wondered if if was coming from a Zeus kid, or hell, maybe Zeus himself was trying to help their cause. He felt they could use the storm to their advantage. Then Alex answered his thoughts. She came screaming out of no where and laid the boom on the hydra, maybe the fatal one. The girl was fuming mad, and Theo wasn't sure why. Whatever the reason, it helped them out. Where was Ajax this whole time though? He usually would have been around. Isn't that his job? To protect everyone.

Trinity's retraction from his simple touch caused him to flinch slightly, while leaving his hand frozen midair momentarily. He wondered if it was related to what he told her before. Either way, he reluctantly dropped his hand to his side. He made mental note not to try again, simply watching her momentarily as she walked back near the Hydra's heads.

After letting loose another spear, Wes stood there and watched the beast. He had to respect the fight the Hydra had, even if it did destroy 90% of his belongs. The monster had a true will to live and even with numerous spears and arrows lodged in its body, it somehow found the will to live. The same realization made him question if they were ever going to stop it or if they should just dig a bigger crater and hope it never climbs its way out. The only idea that came to his mind was suffocation... Maybe a spear through each esophagus would render the beast unable to breath.

With that thought, Wes grabbed his last spear and moved to the edge of the crater. He worried slightly that he may fall it or get knocked in with the Hydra, but he had to be closer for a good shot. The second after Viviane extinguished flames, Wes let loose the spear. He cursed under his breath as it just skimmed the neck, but thankfully enough to open the throat. The head with the slit neck started growling and wheezing as it gasped for air. But he had no more spears, and he couldn't hope to be that lucky again.

"GET BACK.. MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" Wes looked up to see Alex come in a whirlwind. "What the hell?" He watched her in shock. She caused half the hydra's heads to knot, and that was just the beginning. She struck it with lightning among many other things causing a storm around the beast. Wes was so stunned at her forth right actions and blatant anger that he worried what had caused her to act this way. His attention elsewhere caused him to not pay attention as he started getting tugged towards the high winds as he stood at the edge of the crater.

With one good gust of wind, Wes was knocked off his feet and pulled towards the pit. "Shit..." His hands clawed at the ground, getting grip up torn roots that stuck from the edge of the crater. He was at least thankful there were enough swords and spears in the Hydra to keep it in place. He hadn't noticed when throwing spears how sore he had become from being tossed into the tree. But at this point where only his own strength kept him out of the pit, he felt it.

Daughter of Poseidon || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Focused

There was a lot going on around them. Viviane was trying to keep her eyes on the Hydra and maintain calm. If one of it's heads decided to strike against them, she'd strike back with double the force. No doubt Trinity would too. She proved herself a second later when one of the heads made a move towards her to undoubtedly take a nice bite out of her. With her sword in hand, Trinity thrust it into the beasts jaw, holding it there for a minute as the blood trickled down, before removing it and whipping blood everywhere. Viviane stared as the beast withdrew it head in obvious agony. "Thanks for that," she nodded in Trinity's direction. Without her quick reflexes, Viv may not have completely dodged that.

Image As soon as Viv got herself readied again Alex stormed out of nowhere in a fury. "GET BACK.. MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" Suddenly she was throwing a charge of electricity at the Hydra with unyielding power. There wasn't a chance that the Hydra would survive the onslaught of Zeus' daughter's rage and power. But for good measure while the beast was being fried alive, Viviane summoned forth a wave of water to cascade down upon the Hydra. Water + Electricity? Well it wasn't hard to know who was going to come out of this alive and what wasn't.




Image
Son of Athena || Thoughts || Dialogue || Mood: Determined

His shoulder was still in pain but he was ready for anything. Viviane would just heal him up after anyway so if he did injure himself more, it would be extremely painful but it wouldn't kill him. While waiting to strike, Trinity had managed to shish kabob one of the Hydra's heads, Wes was able to slit the Hydra's throat, and Theo was off being Robin Hood, shooting arrows at the weak points. All in all they were making good progress. That was when Alex appeared.

Image As if she was a storm, she swooped in and went on the attack. Being Zeus' daughter and all, she had the power to generate electricity and basically shoot bolts of lightening from her hands. And that's exactly what she was doing. It was kind of amazing to watch. Then Viviane decided enough wasn't enough and she basically submerged the the Hydra in a cloak of water. Smart as hell. Ian basically stood back and watched. "Well this about take care of it," he said pointing to the chaos that was unfolding in front of them all. Just then a gust of wind almost knocked him on his ass if he wasn't planting his feet on the ground so firmly. That's when he noticed Wes got knocked down and was clutching at the crater's surface. "Damn, hold on!" He ran over to the crater's edge and reached down for Wes, pulling him up and out of danger's way with his good arm. Ian collapsed to the ground from the exertion. "You alright?"

Alex: #D63B71Teal for thoughts.

Image With Viviane now working along side the raging storm, they managed to fry the beast instantly to death. You could slightly feel sorry for it as it crashed to the ground, it was just doing what it had been told to do, but there was no time for weakness. It was either them, or the beast. Alex cut off the electricity, and the whirling winds began to slowly calm as she hovered down towards the ground, her feet gently touching the Earth. She was trembling slightly, but not out of fear. Without a word to anyone, Alex headed through the small crowd of gathered demigods as she made her way back towards camp. Her eyes hadn't even searched for Daniel, or anyone else that she considered her friend, because right now!? her entire world was closing in on itself, and Alex was falling along with it.

She could feel others eyes upon her, probably wondering why she was alone, and why her brother hadn't been the one to protect them seeing as that was his job. But they didn't know yet.. they didn't know anything. Alex paused for a second, she hadn't gotten out of the others sight, not completely. She turned to them while standing on a small embankment, looking down at them. She sighed heavily down both of her slender nostrils. Her eyes were taking in each of their faces as she spoke clearly to them all. "Listen up.. I'm not in-charge here, but I need everyone to make their way to the main hut and.. grab a seat. I got some news for everyone." she did her very best to not break down there and there, or to have her screaming out in agony all over again with tears streaming out of her eyes. "Please." she added, then turned back around to the direction she had been heading off into before addressing the entire camp.

#8b9068 || Outfit


ImageHe had felt a little light headed with all the mojo exertion from earlier today and last night, which served him right he supposed for wasting it on his own means of entertainment. Not only that but he couldn’t emphasize how useless he was in heat of the moment. Literally, the fire breathing hydra’s flames was getting to him and making him feel a little light headed. The rest of the group held themselves well enough that he had nothing to be too concerned about. Daniel moved he and his unfocused mind away from the battle though he watched, always ready to improvise a cast if need be.

Alex had flew in in time. “Finally,” he breathed. But there was something about her like Viviane’s demonstration of power. It was untrusting power summoned from the core but in an extreme wash over of emotion. Either way, combined, her and Viviane had put an end to the hydra crisis with the assistance of other campers immobilizing the beast. So he was grateful

Daniel watched Alex intently as she spoke with a different tone. A tone that was serious but at risk of breaking. He could detect the vulnerability in her without magic. He obliged her request and did a zombie shuffle towards the hall in thought, looking to the fried hydra before spotting Trinity and Viviane.

He couldn’t help it. He smiled. “You got a little…” He circled his hand around his face referring to the blood. “You too, Ariel.” Daniel gestured to Viv and the mess of blood they had on their pretty fierce features. Daniel couldn’t help but make light of a serious situation passed before more doom and gloom would be thrown upon them.

Location: Infirmary-->Trinity's Cabin
Interacting With: Wes and Trinity
Outfit||Shorts

Melissa, who had disappeared shortly after the battle ended, walked towards her half-sister's cabin with a scowl on her face. After her sister had turned down the idea of distracting the heads Melissa had jumped back down into the crater without pause, causing her to get a bite on the arm. Without hesitation she had cut off the head and dived under the beast, a moment before Alex had arrived. To keep out of reach of the heads Melissa had darted across the bottom of the crater but slowed by the hydra venom the monster's lashing tail slammed into her, shoving her out of danger but also throwing her into a tree. Waking up a minute or two later she sought out a child of Apollo before collapsing once more. A while later she had woken up with the venom removed and her left arm in a sling, as well as a large gash in her right thigh, from the impact with the tree, bandaged. Without hesitation she had gotten up and left what she recognized as the infirmary to find her sister.

The sight of the electrified hydra had been a surprise but what had shocked her more was the fact that the battle had ended a while ago, long enough for everything to calm down. Trudging across camp Melissa realized how heavy her body felt was due to exhaustion, a feeling she wasn't used to. While she realized she probably should have waited to leave the infirmary, especially since looking down at herself she realized the Apollo kids had cut the legs of her jeans, making them really short shorts, to heal her injuries. Finally getting within eyesight of her sister's cabin Melissa saw Wesley standing on the porch and stopped. Standing up straight Melissa dropped her hand, which she had subconsciously moved to hold her left arm, to her side and straightened.

Satisfied Melissa continued on her path, gritting her teeth as she put weight on her injured leg. As she reached the porch Melissa winced at the first step, sucking in a deep breath at the pain, before she forced her face to go blank. She was sure she was quite the sight, covered in hydra blood with her jeans ripped apart and bandages covering her entire upper left arm and right thigh with blood seeping through her leg wound, reopened from her walk across camp. Giving a stiff nod to Wesley Melissa banged on the door four times before opening the door, a common thing for Mel to do, and walking into Trinity's cabin. "Trinity?!" Stopping a few steps into the cabin Mel looked around worriedly. Though Wes standing at the door was a good sign exhaustion and pain distracted Mel from this fact and she couldn't help but worry.

ImageThere was a knock on her cabin door followed by,"Telegram for Mongo." She couldn't help but smile until there was pounding on her door instead. Up and at 'em to return the aggression, Trinity stormed to the entrance, the same time as Melissa had barged in calling her name. "Trinity?!""What?" she snapped. Though it was habit for Mel to let herself in, it was an ugly one. Trinity's cabin was her territory and it wasn't an open house where people could come and go as they pleased.
Maybe she had been too lenient and soft as of late and lost her fierce reputation. Her eyes flickered pass the spawn of Satan Mel looked like, to Wes. She had a guest so whatever her half-sister wanted, she was better off cutting to the chase.
Admittedly, Melissa was a little more of a bleeder too, but she hadn't been through less or more than anyone else. Trinity was tired and sore. Wesley was probably tired and sore and she had him to tuck in yet/make comfortable at least.

"You can't keep letting yourself in unless you have a death wish." Trinity was sure Mel wouldn't appreciate someone else acting like they owned her cabin. Upon Trinity speaking low and stern, she truly could observe how damaged Mel was.
"Why are you here? I mean why aren't you giving your leg proper medical attention? Or taking pain meds or..resting or something!?" Trinity exclaimed.

Wes was waiting patiently at the door, preparing a good joke smothered thanks for Trinity allowing him to stay with her. But he never got the chance to say anything as he heard someone move up the porch behind him. He glanced over his shoulder to see Melissa give him a stiff smile and nod. Wes furrowed his brows as he watched her knock on the door before just barging in. Rude "Trinity?!" She called out. Mel wasn't subtle at all.

"What?" Trinity replied simply. Unlike Melissa, Wes wasn't going to run up into Trinity's cabin uninvited. He was leaning against the doorframe when Trinity's eyes drifted towards him. He smiled half heartedly at her before nodding his head towards her porch as a silent way of telling her he'd be waiting outside. With that Wes moved out of the doorway and went over to the steps of her porch, taking a seat. He didn't know what Melissa's deal was but he was sure it didn't involve him.

"Ouch, sounds like that movie um.." Ajax started clicking his fingers until he apparently figured out what he was trying to say, "Got it... 50 shades of grey, but less grey." He smiled while pointing at her. All the while Andy just sat there with her mouth agape. Was this some kind of joke!? "Rubbish movie.. don't watch it. Seriously. I'll give it a 4, and that's being generous."

Andy honestly had no idea what to say, she was not expecting that to come from his mouth. The movie, the absence of any concern or knowledge of what had just transpired that night. She could have handled him mad at her, but not him... Uncaring. How could he not care that she looks like death? And that she looks like death to save him? Once she told him to leave, he simply said, "Okie Dokie, see you later." Then left the hut.

She couldn't even describe how that little interaction made her feel. How in the world could he go from carrying for her to not seeming to give a shit. Andy weakly moved to her feet, limping over to the mirror. After sighing deeply, she allowed herself to look upon her reflection. The sight before her was foreign and distorted. But her gaze settle on the bridge of her nose that was obviously broken. Andy had no choice but to take a deep breath then snap the bridge of her nose back in place. She held the sleeve of her jacket to her face as her nose began to bleed again.

Andy slowly made her way to a cot, wincing as she allowed her body to collapse back against it. With what little energy she had left, Andy waved her hand and every sprained or broken bone on her body had some sort of splint. There was one around her right knee, left wrist, a couple fingers and a guard on her nose. She rested her head back finally allowing the tears that had been fighting to surface run down her cheeks. After what felt like an eternity, the tears and her own weaknesses sent her into a deep sleep.

"What?" Melissa could hear the aggravation in her sister's tone as she approached her but Melissa simply let out a sigh of relief and turned to face her sister. As Trinity looked passed her to Wes Melissa looked over her sister twice, once quickly to check for major injuries and then again slowly to check for any hints of internal damage. When she looked up again Trinity's gaze was back on her and she listened to her sister in silence, registering the sound of Wes walking away from the door behind her. "You can't keep letting yourself in unless you have a death wish." There was a small pause as Trinity looked Melissa over. "Why are you here? I mean why aren't you giving your leg proper medical attention? Or taking pain meds or..resting or something!?" As Trinity finished ranting, as she was probably just to do seeing as Mel and just barged into her home, Melissa took the extra step and pulled Trinity into a quick, tight hug before pulling away with a smirk. "Don't worry. I'm fine. You did good tonight. Anyways, I'm sorry I barged in, see you tomorrow. She turned to leave and then paused and looked back at her sister, her smirk mischievous. "Tell me how much fun a son of Aphrodite is huh?" As she spoke she nodded towards the door, taking a few quick steps out of range before limping towards the door. The pain caused from those quick steps cause her to look down at her leg and wince when she saw the blood seeping through the bandage. 'Oh better get to my cabin quick...'

Despite her attempts she couldn't help but snicker as she walked out the door, forcing her weight onto her injured leg in front of the other demigod, and saw Wes. With a wave she continued to laugh and descended the steps, heading off in the direction of her own cabin. Letting her thoughts wander to Trinity and the scene she had just caused she sighed. It was almost funny that something as simple as a hug could cause Mel to mentally groan. 'I hope that doesn't cause problems I have to deal with later...' A hand on the shoulder, a pat on the back, any minimal contact action to show she was happy her sister was oky would have been normal but a hug... With a, now audible, groan she also remembered that she had apologized for barging in. 'Holy shit she'd definitely not gonna forget that... Shes gonna think I'm going soft... or crazy... or that I'm dying' Giggling, and her mind in a whole different place, Mel walked right into a tree and swore loudly, falling back on her butt. Staying in place Melissa's thoughts continued on their path as her vision swam, the remark about Wes making her smirk return. 'That one will definitely cost me, though it might have distracted her from the hug... she was pretty tired. Maybe she'll just forget about it.'

With nothing else to think about, other then a fleeting thought for the well-being of her dogs, her train of thought stopped on the battle earlier and her smirk disappeared again, quickly replaced by a frown. She knew there was something off about the hydra being there in the first place but currently the pounding in her head from pain and exhaustion were making it hard to think it through. Finally, with great trouble due to her only being able to use one hand, Melissa pushed herself up and continued on her path to her cabin. "Its times like this when I hate myself for picking a cabin so far away from the others..."

Though Trinity was ranting away at her halfsister, she was pulled into a tight hug. All she could think was what was happening. Both to her own body mashed against Mels and Melissa's mental state. Trinity left her palms up and was released in short time to be greeted by a smirk of Mel's. "Don't worry. I'm fine. You did good tonight. Anyways, I'm sorry I barged in, see you tomorrow." Trinity appreciated the half praise and apology though uncharacteristic of Mel. "Tell me how much fun a son of Aphrodite is huh?" Trinity's mouth fell agape. It was so wrong on many levels like the fact she assumed Wes and Trinity would do more than actually sleep, and that Trinity would then report events to her. Meanwhile Mel was practically snickering. Until she did actually snicker. She followed her sister out, stepping out to the porch and watching her with folded arms. The girl was laughing like she was high as a kite.
Image"She um...she's lost a lot of blood. Probably hit her head too." Trinity justified to Wes. Before she could kindly gesture him inside, she heard Mel curse aloud causing her head to snap in the direction it had came. She had walked right into a tree. "Uuh..." she contemplated walking Mel to her cabin assuring her safety but then returned to Wes. "You can come inside if you like. I'm sure she'll be fine." Trinity turned and headed back inside her cabin. She jogged in step to run ahead and get Wes a pillow. "Now you don't have a bad back or anything? You're good with the couch? I can take the couch instead if you want? No trouble." She asked rather flustered to have a guest that resided in a much more classy cabin usually. And it may have been the small fact that it was Wes above them all. "Do you need anything else at all? Because if you do just tell me and I'll get onto it."

Wes wasn't paying much attention to the girl's talking. But he couldn't help but over hear Melissa on her way out. "Tell me how much fun a son of Aphrodite is huh?" He coughed, then glanced down at his hands uncomfortably. He liked Trinity, and contrary what most people would think when he actually liked someone he wasn't trying to get in their pants.

His attention was brought back to Trinity when she spoke, "She um...she's lost a lot of blood. Probably hit her head too." Wes laughed, "So how fun is a son of Aphrodite?" He winked teasingly at her while chuckling. She then motioned for him to enter his cabin as he moved to his feet. "Uuh... You can come inside if you like. I'm sure she'll be fine." Wes scratched his head slightly as he saw Melissa walk into a tree. Was she drunk or something? Jesus.

Trinity's pace quickened as she ran ahead of him before he entered. After Wes crossed the threshold, he turned to close her cabin door but stood near the door not wanting to intrude in her space. In no time she returned with a pillow for him. "Now you don't have a bad back or anything? You're good with the couch? I can take the couch instead if you want? No trouble." He smiled sincerely, tossing his sad excuse of a blanket on the couch. "Now what kind of house guest would ask their host to sleep on the couch?" Wes figured this probably wasn't the easiest thing for her after the load he placed on her earlier. But either way, he appreciated it thoroughly.

"Do you need anything else at all? Because if you do just tell me and I'll get onto it." Wes chuckled. "I'm fine... This is more than what I could ask for." He smiled sweetly towards her before leaning down to place a friendly kiss upon her cheek in gratitude. "Thank you blondie." He lightly patted his hand upon her upper arm before he made his way over to the couch. After adjusting the pillow, he laid down. It was a slightly humorous sight seeing a man of his stature on a sofa, his feet hung nearly half a foot over the farthest armrest. But Wes didn't seem a bit bothered by it as he crossed his arms underneath his head.

Location: Her Cabin --> Forest --> Main Hall Kitchen
Interacting With: Seraphina Antoniou and Ilias Antoniou
Outfit||Knife
Somehow Melissa made it to her cabin and shoved herself through the door. Struggling to keep all three of her dogs from running outside or jumping up on her she slammed the door closed, causing the dogs to pause in their excited jumping and worried licks and growls. With a sigh Melissa made her way over to her bed, stripping as she went, though her shorts caused her some trouble. Moments later she collapsed onto her bed and slipped into unconsciousness instantly.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As the sun shone outside Melissa's cabin was still cloaked in shadows, inside and out. The placement of Mel's cabin, in the same area as Hades' Cabins, had been chosen specifically for the way the forest floor was still covered in darkness even when the sun was high in the sky and it's distance from all the others. Despite this Melissa's nightmares woke her mid-morning, causing her to cry out and sit up quickly. Shadow, the calmest of her dogs, settled at her side and pressed against her legs while Demon, the only puppy in the group, leapt at her to like her face. At the sight of her dogs, Rage giving Demon a wary glance from the sofa across the room before laying his head back down, Melissa immediately calmed. Knowing she had already slept more then she usually did in a week, Melissa dragged herself out of bed and into the shower. Careful to keep her injured arm as dry as possible Mel was finished in less than ten minutes. Drying her hair, she noticed with a sigh that her leg was bleeding again. Grabbing a jar from her kitchen cabinet Melissa smeared a salve onto the wound given to her by an Apollo kid forever ago for a sword injury. Re-wrapping her leg and pulling on some clothes she tested putting her weight on her leg. Though a twinge of pain went through her body it was tolerable.

Knowing she wouldn’t be able to work out today, and therefore wouldn’t be able to put her weapon in her workout bag, Melissa strapped it onto her thigh. Letting out two low pitched whistles, Demon and Shadow both padded back towards Melissa’s bedroom while Rage followed after her. Heading out the door and into the woods, in the direction of the main trail. About five minutes later, only halfway to the path that led to the main hall, Melissa looked wide-eyed at a literal zombie. While it was obvious that wierd things were going to happen at a camp for Demi-Gods, something she had learned over the years, never before had zombies been a possible thing. Walking both towards and past the zombie out of the corner of her eye Melissa spotted Daniel and Alex. Immediatly understanding the situation Melissa corrected her direction to head back towards the main trail and clicked her tongue, regaining the attention of Rage, who had been stalking the zombie while growling softly.

Finally reaching the trail a few minutes later Melissa headed towards the main hall, not bothering to pay attention to the people around her. While Rage was her newest dog, due to an incident with one of the Artemis kids who lived in camp year-round, his aggresive tempermant was well known and therefore people kept their distance. Reaching the main hall, Mel entered and went straight into the kitchen without saying a word to anyone. As she walked in Melissa noticed Sera and her son, Ilias, both in the room as well. Giving Sera a silent wave and Ilias a kind smile, she went straight to the fridge and pulled out the leftover grilled chicken and fruit salad from the night before. After serving herself some of the fruit salad she turned to watch Sera hand Ilias an apple. After a moment watching the two the blonde sighed and threw her hair up in a ponytail. “Sera I’m going to train on my own for the next few days. I might come around for dinner but otherwise I’ll be in my cabin or at the gym. If you need any help in here just stop by and tell me. To make up for me being gone I’ve got lunch for today covered, go spend some quality time with your son after training.” Throwing all the leftover chicken in the oven Melissa pulled more raw chicken out of the fridge. Glancing at the window that looked out into the dining room Melissa hesitated a moment before shaking her head and walking past it. Grabbing a cutting board and a knife she started cutting up the raw meat, making quick work out of the task.

Alex understood that well enough, because why would anyone want to read about someone's father who had no importance to them in general? she wasn't even sure if the throne existed anyway, but with luck it did because it would protect Mount Olympus from its enemies surely. "So do you think Ajax would ever forfeit the throne?" it was possible, especially since Ajax had never wanted a damn thing from Zeus since he abandoned him and Alex.

ImageHe didn't want hand-me-downs, or freebies.. he just wanted his father to be there for him. Constantly. "The chances are 50/50. I don't think my brother wants gifts from dad because he feels as though it's a poor excuse for sucking up about not being around." Alex sighed. She never wanted her brother to hate their Father because she knew why he hadn't been showing up as much as he wanted to. "My brothers blinded by hate and no excuse from dad with suffice without him proving his word." and that would be a tough challenge since Zeus and Ajax were equal when it came to being stubborn. Maybe Alex could some day set up a day for just Ajax, herself, and Zeus. now that would be a story to tell because there would be so much tension in the air you'd be able to cut through it like a knife through butter.

ImageJust as she was about to say something else, she heard the skies above their heads rumbling after a few strikes of lightening, then a bolt of it rushing to the ground like a meteor. Talk about luck.. this was her chance to get her time with him. Hopefully. Had both of them jinxed his visit to their camp? Alex quickly looked to Daniel with excitement, and he smiled. "You got a date with your dad." Alex squealed almost as she skipped up to Daniel and kissed his cheek. "Thank you for the morning run, Daniel.. maybe we can do it again some time. I had fun. Big time!" she giggled softly as she took his hand gently, squeezed it a little with a smile before excitedly running off towards her fathers direction. Daniel's company had been one of the best mornings here so far, but she didn't want to miss her fathers visit. Were the other Gods coming too? surely they'd want to be with their children, but then again... some had to stay back to keep Mount Olympus guarded.

Image Straight away the man had addressed the others before his own children, because he was making his way towards the son of Hades while Alex was just making her appearence, but Ajax walked up to her to stop her from making her way over to Zeus for a minute. "Whats he got against me?" Ajax asked, "Because the look he gave towards me wasn't exactly an exchange of love" now Alex knew her brother definitely wasn't himself. Alex took her eyes off their father, now looking to Ajax who had stopped her within her tracks, her hair falling around her shoulders. "He's just concerned about you.. he doesn't hate you. It's you who hates him." Alex wandered around Ajax and stood next to her best friend Wes, and his girl Trinity. Her hands were in her lap, and her eyes excitely watching her father as she was practically almost jumping in the air. She was so happy as she waited for him to be done with David. She was ready to run into his arms.

Ajax couldn't believe how his sister was acting. How could she be happy to see someone who didn't want to give up his throne to be with his kids? he didn't look back once as he headed to the staff cabin to see what activites they had in store for the camp. John, who was just a mortal working for Sera with the other staff members, had given Ajax the controls to the Camps Talon system. "Just announce todays events, and we'll do the rest." he lightly ordered, then wandered off outside for a cigarette break. Ajax held the speaker in his hand, staring at it a first, but soon cleared his throat to speak. With his thumb pressing the button on the side inwards, the talons around the Camp screeched a little to life. "All activities will be taking place today after lunch. Head to the hall for a list of where these activities are taking place, and team up with others to complete each one that you choose to do. Remember.. team work." Hopefully that was enough.

Image Ares had even turned up, but had been half way through his own training before he came down to Earth after Zeus. He wanted to see the Camp for himself. It hadn't changed at all, not one single bit since they built it from the stones of Athens.When the talons came on, Ares looked to the speaker closet to him, but carried on walking until the back of his daughters were in view. A smile instantly appeared on his face. His eldest had grown so much, but he wasn't too keen on Aphrodites son being so close to his little girl. Hopefully he was different, because his mother seemed to have a collection of mortal men like trophies almost.

"Trinity..." He called out to her in a low, gritty voice. "Come here, let me look at how much you have grown." Alex felt bad now for being excited as she looked around at everyone else. There were a few hopefully looking Demigods who were really hoping to see their own parents. Her brows furrowed as she stepped back a little, bumping lightly into Ares who held her steady with a smile before carrying on towards his daughter. Wow, Trinity's dad was in good shape. Duh, God of war.. of course he would be.

Image Zeus could tell that David was feeling guilty, and maybe a little afraid about something, and also Zeus's presense.. or maybe that he thought he was in trouble for allowing his father to take Zeus's child in the first place, but honestly!? Zeus did not blame David for being his fathers son. He could tell that the boy loved his father deeply, but was compelled and pulled towards his friends. "I believe you are the hero who rescued both Ajax, and Andy from the underworld. You didn't have to go against your father, but you did.. and for that? I thank you. I grant you one wish, David.. son of Hades." he could make quite a lot happen, but probably not exactly what David would want most. His girlfriend.

Trinity knelt down to help Wes collect the things he dropped in his fit of rage. “Thank you Mr White Knight.” The non Ken-doll nickname made him look over towards her. “But I had it all under control.” Wes broke his gaze as he moved to his feet, extending at hand down towards her to help her up. "I know you did... But I couldn't stand back and watch you get treated like that." He adjusted his things in his arms. "Even if that meant getting my ass kicked by a Zeus kid."

Wes raised a brow when it seemed as if she was going to say something then stopped. But not much later she spoke up, no doubt something different than she originally intended. “So you can face the son of Zeus, but not Jason?” He dropped his things to the ground once again to hold up an interjecting finger. "Hold up now little miss." He then placed his hands on his hips. "Did I, or did I not come barging into your cabin when I heard the... struggle." He waved his hand nonchalantly. "He disappeared before I could do anything, thank you very much." Wes then leaned towards her, adding a final comment. "And... I helped with a Hydra... well like a tiny bit, but still." He chuckled.

With the arrival of Zeus and the passing events, Trinity must have been overwhelmed or something. Because then her forehead moved to rest upon his shoulder. He glanced over at her, letting out a soft chuckle. “Chance of Ares and Aphrodite showing?” Wes pursed his lips thinking, "Well Aphrodite was never part of my life until she told me to come here. But your-" He paused mid sentence when the god of war appeared. He felt the god's gaze on him, obviously not good standing so close to a man like that's daughter. Wes tensed slightly. "He's here." The second Trinity's head was off his shoulder Wes didn't know if he should sulk back slowly, or stand his ground, or what. Instead, he knelt down to recollect his things once again. When he glanced back up Alex was at his side, excitedly waiting for her father to be finished with David no doubt.

David didn't seem happy that she was eggy him on to go face Zeus. Andy being the optimist she is assumed he was here to thank him for what he did to help Alex and Ajax. Which he should. David was brave going against his own father to help people he wasn't close or friendly with all because she asked.

At the realization she frowned slightly. He went against everything because she asked him... Because she was dewy eyed over Ajax and didn't want to lose him. She increasingly began to felt like what she asked of him was probably the most selfish thing she'd ever done. Although she had thanked him... Numerous times, nothing she did would ever repay him for what he did.

Andy carefully hobbled herself about 50 or so yards away, before lowering herself to the ground up the slightly sloped hillside. She started readjusting her splints and bandages. She definitely was feeling 110% better than she was last night, but she was no where near healed. As she fastened the splint on her wrist she over heard what Zeus said towards David, "I believe you are the hero who rescued both Ajax, and Andy from the underworld. You didn't have to go against your father, but you did.. and for that? I thank you. I grant you one wish, David.. son of Hades." Andy couldn't help but smile. He deserved it.

With the light knock at the doorway, Seraphina turned from her watchful vantage point out the kitchen window, waiting for other staff members to arrive for the day to start and her turn at 'freedom' to begin; to see Wesley there, with a grateful expression, and a quiet but sincere, "Thanks..." "You're welcome." She hummed lightly in turn, with a gentle smile at him reaching down to ruffle Ilias' hair before departing back to Trinity. The boy tolerated the relative strangers touch with little more than a squinted eye, and the high potential of something muttered under-breath about "stuffing" - that he did not give much voice to, less his mother catch him.


It wasn't long before a pair of new arrival(s) into the kitchen caught both attentions, Sera murmured a soft, "Good morning," to Melissa's wave; and Ilias promptly sat down on his rump. He'd partially noted in some corner of the demigod friend of his mother's passing by with a kind smile to enter the kitchen, but his attention was held rapid by the large dog following on Melissa's heels. "Puppy, puppy." With a toothy, but playfully shy grin, Ilias began to eat the apple and offer Rage a small piece every other bite.


"Sera I’m going to train on my own for the next few days. I might come around for dinner but otherwise I’ll be in my cabin or at the gym. If you need any help in here just stop by and tell me. To make up for me being gone I’ve got lunch for today covered, go spend some quality time with your son after training.” Melissa spoke up, and Seraphina's 'always on' smile - seemed far more genuine and warmer at the the other girls' offer to handle the kitchen.

"Bless your heart, Melissa," Seraphina mused in return. Thankful for Mel taking the time to let her know where her location was going to be for the next few days, because it wasn't often one had been told to make sure his eldest daughter at the camp was well cared for by the God of War - due to her rough life before. And of course she appreciated the offer immensely to take care of the lunch for the day, so that the staff member could take the time to train, and be with Ilias too. "Thank you, I appreciate the gestures, and - I think I'll owe you one..." She smiled wider, and dipped her head in farewell.

As Melissa began busying herself around the kitchen, Seraphina moved to her son, still quite enamored with the dog - and while she'd heard he was quite agressive with people he didn't know, she suspected Ilias' was making a fast friend with the pieces of apple that she wasn't so worried about the bad reputation the animal apparently had. "C'mon Ilias, let's get out of the way." "Oh... Ok. By-by, Puppy." Ilias willingly obliged, and followed.

Upon exiting the the main hall, and passing the disturbance that Ajax seemed to have caused, the thundering sky caught Seraphina's attention - and appearing within a bolt of lighting, Zeus himself was at the camp. Unlike the googling eyed children that were either in awe or frightened at the God's appearance, Seraphina watched the exchanges - interesting as they were with the son of Hades pointed out and dragging himself forward with Zeus; and Ares with his youngest, Trinity - with a schooled neutral and cool expression (especially after it was noted that Poseidon would not be far behind).

"Ilias?" She murmured, bending down to whisper in his ear as he was hiding behind her, meaty fists clenched around a knee, in rapid awe, and the hint of tightly measured fear - the presence of Gods' and monsters did that to the poor lamb, sometimes she could almost wistfully figure he was far too normal (and 'human') and could live a much safer life than this, though she knew much better. "I've got a job for you, okay? Go let Melly know her Dad's here, please." "O-ok." The child departed back up the stairs into the dining room of the main hall, headed faithfully at his mother's words' towards the kitchen, where it was 'safer'. Seraphina stayed, silent, watchful, and attentive - all though the likelihood of her own mother making such an appearance was slim to none, much less speaking to her daughter when she had ignored her for three years - it would not due to be negligent.

... "Puppy. Melly. Daa's here."

Once she was finished cutting up the chicken Melissa threw it all into two pans with some oil and salt. "Bless your heart, Melissa" Looking away from the rack of seasons Melissa gave the other girl a smile. "It's not a problem." Now that she was actually paying attention her eyes snapped down to Rage who was licking the fingers of the child after being fed a piece of apple. At this Melissa laughed, of course her most vicious pet was tamed by the son of Hera's daughter. "Thank you, I appreciate the gestures, and - I think I'll owe you one..." Melissa shook her head, now smiling, as she picked out a few spices and seasoned the meat in the pans. "Don't worry about it. I usually help out so me leaving is most likely going to mean the staff will have to work a bit harder. This is the least I could do." Melissa turned up the heat on the stove and grabbed her bowl of fruit salad, munching on it as she let the chicken cook. "C'mon Ilias, let's get out of the way." As Sera guided her kid out Melissa whistled softly calling Rage over to her. She didn't want Rage trying to go after the boy so she set the bowl she had been eating out of on the ground for the dog to finish. Fruit was surprisingly his favorite treat. "Oh... Ok. By-by, Puppy." The dog barked and licked Ilias' face before going over to eat what was left of the fruit. Turning her attention back to the stove Melissa stirred the meat and then walked away, grabbing three extremely large bowls and a few jars of mayonaise out of the fridge. Setting the stuff down she quickly checked the meat in the oven. Just as she was opening the oven, Melissa heard the thunder and frowned. 'I know for a fact that the sky was sunny when I was walking here...' Pulling the chicken out of the oven Melissa shrugged and went back to work.

For the next few minutes Melissa worked on separating as much chicken from the bones as possible,filling each of the bowls about half of the way. Checking on the chicken in the pans Melissa poured the oil into a large jar that she pulled from underneath the sink and then split the chicken in between the three bowls. It was just as she was pulling the celery out of the fridge that Ilias came back into the kitchen, seeming excited. "Puppy. Melly. Daa's here." Melissa froze for a second, almost dropping the vegtables in her hands. Shaking her head Melissa chuckled, going to Ilias and setting him on a seat. "Of course he is, there can never be a slow day at Camp Athens can there?" It was obvious his mother wanted him inside so that was where she would keep him. "Hey Ilias, I have some chicken scraps on that cutting board right there in front of you for Rage. If you want you can give them to him but you have to stay in here. I'll even get you a snack too." Quickly she went and rummaged in the pantry until she found a jar with the leftover cookies from yesterday. Grabbing two she brought them to the little boy before returning to the fridge. Bringing the celery to the table she pulled out a knife and started to chop it up. 'Once I finish the Chicken Salad I'll have enough time to take a break and go see Dad.'


Ten minutes later Melissa had all the ingredients in the bowls and had put them in the fridge to cool after giving them a quick stir, deciding she could finish them after. Grabbing a ball from where she kept it hidden in the pantry, a weird spot but being prepared is always good, she handed it to Ilias. "Why don't you go play fetch with the puppy in the Dining Hall? Don't worry about any mess he makes. I'll clean it up later." She smiled and brought the boy into the Dining Hall, whistling three times Melissa pointed to the boy, glad she had taught all her dogs a command for protect. Exiting the Hall Melissa looked around for Sera, locating her quickly, and walked over to her. "Ilias is in the Dining Hall with Rage. He's safe. The only one who he'll let near is you or me." Looking around Melissa immediately spotted her father and sister and smiled brightly at Sera. "Thanks for the notice by the way!" Melissa bolted over to her father and sister, the pain in her leg not even registering as she tackled both of them into a bear hug.

Image"Until the end. I will be there to protect you and your sister. Always. But promise me that you will not do anything reckless, Trinity. If things begin to go south on our side? I want you to take your sister, and run. Do you understand?" Her gaze fell to the ground with Ares honest response and she shook her head slowly. Inside her mind raced with an argument and productive points; how vital they were to the war, how she couldn't be expected to bail. “Us demigods…we’re all gonna die at some point. It’s just a matter of when and how. I’d rather die in a war that means something. Alongside my friends, protecting them, fighting for our existence!” She pleaded passionately to him. Though disagreeing with Ares was like disagreeing with a wall.

Trinity wouldn't flee when things looked bad, and she couldn't promise she wouldn't do anything reckless so she didn't answer her father in any other way. She wouldn't be bound by word, she would be bound by her weapons and beating heart. A war wasn't over until the last man standing or crawling or gasping for air was dead.

Thankfully Mel swooped in saving Trinity from some direct response and she was crushed to Ares again, with her sister's arms around the both of them. She squirmed her way out of the group hug, and smiled to Mel but didn't dare meet Ares gaze again afraid to meet his intense stare or perhaps worse, some disappointed look. “I got a cabin to find.” She threw her thumb over her shoulder to the where Wes...was so she fell back on another getaway. “But as Ajax commands, activities for the day call for me.” Trinity excused herself in a good old mocking fashion, even taking a court bow and smiled to leave Mel with their father.

“Love youse!” She called. In her absence of sanity, Trinity thought veering off to what she glimpsed as a lonely Ajax was a good idea, and asking why he wasn't there embracing his father's presence but when she caught herself, her legs crossed over each other changing direction casually and keeping her eyes ahead.

Andy didn't really have to call him anything, just a thank you would have sufficed. But he understood how nerve-racking it must be to come face to face with a God. "You're welcome." he told her with a smile, then allowed her to pursue her friend who had given his wish away. Zeus respected David for his selfless act for his friend. People like David, Andy, his children and the other Demigods, were the reason Zeus did not give up on Mortals and their humanity. They were redeemable.

Image Once looking at his daughter, Alex ran into his arms the second his eyes locked onto hers. She flung her arms around his middle while crashing against his chest with her cheek. She hugged him as tightly as she could as the tears in her eyes slowly trickled down her tanned Greek cheeks. He kept her close to him, afraid of losing one second with her. With a sigh, he gently kissed her head once. He had missed quite a lot of the years his children were growing up, yet he did not feel like a stranger to either of them. "You have grown a lot, Princess. Just as beautiful as your mother.." he brushed the pad of his thumb gently under her eye to wipe away her tears of joy. "And where is your brother? I need to see him." that sounded urgent. Alex wiped the rest of her eyes, then pointed out to where he was before Zeus made his way over to his son with Alex proudly following behind.

Ajax had tried to pretend that he hadn't seen the both of them, but his father would still confront him.

Image"You're not yourself, son." were his first words, causing Alex to curl in her bottom lip and held it gently with her teeth as she watched Ajax. She blinked softly, then looked down to her feet for a moment. She knew it, she knew he wasn't being himself. "What are you even talking about? I'm fine." was he seriously going to act like he didn't know!? or did he not remember like memory loss? Ajax

folded his arms, and glanced at his sister once, who was stood beside their father. He was now wondering if she had told Zeus a bunch of lies for acting like Camp Athen's biggest asshole with a huge red capital A.

Zeus never had favorites out of his children, he just wanted to be a good father because his own father wasn't going to win any number one dad awards anytime soon. Kronos, the son of Uranus, and father of Zeus... had learnt that his son and the others would overthrow him eventually, so, Kronos decided to eat his own children until Zeus, Hades and Poseidon locked him away for all eternity. He would never do that with his own children, even if Ajax was to overthrow him.

"Your soul... it's gone missing." Alex looked to Zeus with a frown of confusion at first. But upon realizing where he may have lost it, caused Alex to open her mouth a little to speak. She hesitated for a second, unsure if her assumptions were in fact just assumptions... or truth.

Image"Dad... I think Hades has it or took it away. I don't know. It does sound like something he'd do." Zeus nodded. She was correct.

"You're right. He does have that gift because I watched my father grant him with that and many others." Hades had always been Kronos's favorite, all because he was as corrupted as he was. Rotten to the core. Kronos even wanted every mortal to be killed. Both the Valis's knew for a fact they didn't want to know about their grandfather because they had read the stories that seemed like fairytales, but now... it was a fact of reality.

"If you're both right about this, then how do I get my soul back?"
"You didn't die in the underworld, so it's not trapped there... it's lost here in the mundane world. You won't be able to find it, Son. Your soul will find you." as odd as that sounded to the both of them, they took his word for it. They had nothing else. That was going to be easy, though. Luckily. No-one fancied going back to the underworld anytime soon, and neither did Alex. She kissed her father on his cheek. "See you tonight hopefully. I love you." she waved them off before heading to her cabin to grab her training gear. While she got to her cabin, she saw Theo descending the hill. "You alright there, Fee?" she called out to him, jotting down his new nickname for him in her head. "My dad's at camp and the activities are starting. Check the board out by the hall." she pointed over her shoulder with her thumb. "Catch ya later." she waved once across with a smile before carrying on inside of her cabin to change.

ImageAres was about to protest against Trinity's words, but was attacked with a bear hug from his other daughter Melissa. He held her as he watched Trinity wander off for a second, then looked down at Mel with a smile, "hi, beautiful. Can I have the air back into my lungs now?" he chuckled. "I hope you're both training.." he wanted his girls to have fun also, but training was important and the main reason they were at the camp in the first place. They were all under supervision from the Gods, even if they didn't know it. They needed praise, and Ares was definitely proud of the both of them. "I am blessed with the both of you girls. Tell your sister that, and that I will always love the both of you. Don't even feel like you have to live up to me. You do what you can, and you do your best."

ImageAlex was stood next to David and Andy while looking over the list for an activity. Rock climbing seemed to be perfect, so she took the pen that sat in the little tray, and jotted her name down in fancy letters before looking to Andy, "Looking well.. and thank you, for helping us. The both of you." she smiled with her hand gently touching their shoulders once while she passed them, and headed to her first assault course of the day. It was a huge wall, but that didn't both Alex one bit with having her Father's bravery. She was the little dare devil. She'd see her father tonight, but hopefully, he wouldn't leave before then.

"Just come to our cabin tonight, dad, let me cook us something on the BBQ & chat by the firepit?" Ajax didn't care if he wasn't going to show up, but he was doing it for Alex. He looked over at the wall, and could see his sister climbing it with a bit of a steady pace, but there was no race, no competition. She was focusing more on her footwork, and where to place her hands, then she'd gradually pick up the pace.

Alex had finally reached the top of the climbing wall, pulling herself up with all the strength in both of her arms, then turned herself around before sitting. Her legs dangled off of the side as she looked down at the others, her long dark hair blowing back gently like you see someone that's in a photoshoot, or maybe in Daniel's case!? it would be the moment he imagines her walking towards him in slow motion. Seductively.

She could have flown up, literally, but she wanted to achieve this by her own strength and determination. With her arms on either side of her, and her palms pressing into the ground, a smile was on her face. "Come on slowpokes. Catch up!" she shouted out, and chuckled before softly biting her lower lip while smiling to herself. She loves to show off, especially if there was going to be so many eyes watching her which would make that moment even sweeter.

Her brother was within viewing distance, even if he was making his way towards their cabin with their dad. Maybe they were talking about Ajax's missing soul, and when they're going to decide on announcing it to everyone in camp. At least there would be a fair few people who'd be able to rest; knowing that Ajax's actions weren't truly his own.
Alex never understood the concept of fear, because it was always so easy to cast it aside if you really wanted to... so why did people choose to latch onto it instead of facing it? Luckily Alex had never gotten the chance to be afraid, but she could have sworn that she had felt some sort of emotion like it when she thought she was losing Ajax, then despair when she did. Momentarily. Either way, Alex was happy to have her big brother back even if he wasn't being himself.

Image After so many years without his father, he was now face to face with him for what seemed like the first time. The first time he can remember at least. There were so many questions unanswered, yet this soulless him wasn't interested in whatever answer Zeus would give him, or even excuses for being absent from most of his and Alex's life. "What happens if my soul doesn't come back?" part of him was hoping one answer, and the other part of him knew it was possible that it wasn't going to be a fairytale ending. It never was.

"You'll either stay like this... or die." That last word made Ajax look up to his father. Even though he was emotionless, he didn't want to die and leave his little sister by herself without him. He knew for a fact it would break her heart, and in time!? she'd become reckless in seeking out revenge for his death.

"For Alex's sake, I hope that isn't the case."
