Skylar felt like a fool. She'd walked all the way to the Big House, only for Chiron to stop at the door and remind her of the actual meeting place. Now she was jogging as quietly as she could back down into the camp and to the forge. She was going to mess everything up, she could just feel it. Leave it to her to mess everything up. She had to duck behind the cabins when she spotted the fire pit. She really didn't want to get spotted now. She wouldn't be able to make anything up. She wasn't a very good liar. It was why she'd made sure to get packed and out of the cabin before her siblings got back from the celebration. She wouldn't have been able to lie to them, and she didn't want them to worry about her. She was the protective one after all, even if they were the only ones who knew it.
She was panting by the time she reached the back of the forge. "Je suis dรฉsolรฉ, je suis dรฉsolรฉ..." She quickly realized that most people probably didn't speak French and she had to take a moment to focus on English. "I'm sorry I'm late...I...Forgot where we were supposed to meet..." Again, not a good liar. She also didn't see a point in lying. Not a good way to start off a quest after all. She glanced around at all of them, suddenly realizing she was going on an extremely dangerous quest with people that were basically strangers to her. She seemed to shrink into herself as she realized it. "Sorry..." she said even quieter. That was a problem she had. Not only did she have her strong accent, she tended to speak quieter than most. Just more proof of her shyness.

Ezreal Feye // Son of Aphrodite
" Nothing important should be taken seriously. " โ โฆโพโโพโฆ โ Pros to always moving around with a anti-social people-hating extremely edgy girlfriend; you know people's blind spots. But what's the fun in that? There wasn't any. Ezreal wasn't the type to sneak around and walk to be hidden. No, he loved attention, he loved the spotlight, he loved having all eyes on him. He didn't care if he looked like a fool or anything similar. He knew he looked good, he knew he acted well and that's all there was to it. There was no 'sneaking around' with the son of Aphrodite.
Following Skylar to a forge, he noticed that there were others. A grin came from his face and he wasn't shy about letting them know that he was here, following them. "Fancy meeting you all here," he purred in his silky smooth voice, sounding like a cat that caught a mouse. "So! Where we goin'?" His bright blue eyes focused on the figure he knew best out of the group, excitement shining like star light against the bright beautiful blue color of his eyes.
Hmm. Four people for a quest? That seemed to be asking for bad luck.
"One, two... four people, huh? I thought even numbers were bad for a quest. Or was it odd...?" Ezreal gave a small shrug, that confident grin on his lips. He did a double take in looking at the people around here. "The Big Three, huh?" He gave a small, impressed whistle. His gaze landed on Ben. "You can't just sneak off without saying good-bye to your ole pal Ez." His eyes strayed slowly from person to person.
There was always one thing, though. He didn't like being left behind like this. He wasn't able to go with Lux on her quest, he wasn't going to be able to go with her to protect her. He was her boyfriend, her partner, her shield, protector. Ezreal wasn't someone that liked being left behind, he didn't like being alone too much. He was a social butterfly, he was the charmer of the cabin, even more than most Aphrodite children. He had that ego that most did, but even so.
"Where you going? How long you guys gonna be? Gonna be awfully lonely with both you and Lux gone, buddy ole pal." Ezreal made his way to Ben and put his arm around the other's shoulder, that grin of his fading ever so slightly. The eighteen year old was a wanderer who often got lost in his own thoughts and drifted around, but he still didn't like being alone. "If you have the Big Three here, must be pretty important."
โ โฆโดโโดโฆ โ " Consequences only matter if I don't get away. "

Carly had only packed the essentials tightly in her bag. A few changes of clothes - mostly clothes that were missing the camp half blood logo. If they were around mortals, they had to blend in. A first aid kit. Trouble seemed to follow demigods everywhere. Ambrosia and nectar. Same as above. Captain Cocoa. Though he was a secret from her cabin mates, Carly could never sleep without the ragged stuffed horse she had gotten from her mom. She and Colt each had one. Hers was brown and his was gray. So it was no surprise that Bounce was packed in tightly as well. Since her brother had died, Bounce was always by Captain Cocoa. A knife. Those always came in handy. A picture of her and Cal. He was her favorite sibling (besides Colt) and she knew he had a copy of the same picture by his bed.
Of course, buckled around her hips was her belt. It was a special belt that Carly had gotten soon after coming to camp. With a flick of her wrist, it could become either a spear or a whip and it always made its way back to the daughter of Poseidon. While she could use other weapons, that one was by far her best. She never went anywhere without it and it was plain enough to escape the attention of most demigods as well.
She had stayed quiet as the rest of the group gathered at their meeting place. While she'd been interested in the quest earlier, it had all been replaced by fear now. Was having all three of them really a good idea? And why was poor Ben being forced to protect them? They could likely protect themselves and all that was doing was putting the son of Hephaestus is unnecessary danger. While she didn't agree with that, she had made no plans to argue with Chiron. The centaur dude knew what he was doing... at least she hoped he did.
Carly fiddled with the buckle of her belt and didn't say much until she heard Ben's question. "Hm?" she asked before registering what he had said. "Oh, yeah. I've been on a quest before." She hesitated slightly. "The last quest I was on was the one where my twin brother died. Colt Cooper, of you guys remember him..." She didn't say much after that. Colt and Carly had been very close growing up, and she was only just getting used to living without her brother.
Of course, she knew it was very possible that they hadn't remembered her brother. Colt was a quiet boy. Not antisocial, but quiet. He'd rather observe than jump into stuff and he was the last to cause a fight. Colt was a peacemaker. The kind that made everyone feel happy and welcome. He was a better person than Carly, and he had died protecting her. She hadn't been on a quest since then and this had all sunk in only after the game of capture the flag. Her excitement for the quest had only morphed into dread and she was now forced to fake some level of enthusiasm. Having one person down could lead to the whole quest going up in flames and she didn't want to be the one that brought them all down. Carly glanced up as Ezreal approached. She didn't know the son of Aphrodite very well, but she was thankful for his sudden appearance. Hopefully it would prevent any questions about Colt. While she was getting used to living without him, she still struggled to talk about him. Her siblings had learned that quickly and new Poseidon campers were always taught to avoid asking about the picture of the smiling brown haired boy hanging up in her bunk, right next to the picture of Carly and Cal. While she brought her picture of Cal, Carly always thought Bounce was a better reminder of Colt than a picture was. Her brother had hated any type of technology, but his love for horses was even greater than hers - and that was saying something.

Simon had remained quiet during the whole interaction with Chiron. Frankly he was still trying to find a way to get out of this whole thing, not really wanting to go on a huge quest so far away from home, the thought of it made him wrinkle his nose in disgust. He had been content to just stay in camp half blood for the rest of his life, maybe go to another area for adult demigods and stay there, where it was safe and relatively ghost free. Sure, he still saw them, but it wasn't as bad as it was when he was in huge places like New York. The last quest he'd gone on, the one with Ben, he felt like he'd gone insane with all the voices trying to talk to him the moment they realized that he could see them.
During the time Chiron spoke Simon simply went through his backpack to make sure he had everything. He had a thermal shirt (he'd found it clean last minute, thank the gods) and a jacket that he'd slung on as he trudged from the Big House to their meeting place when he realized that he wasn't supposed to be there. He had an extra knife in his bag that they could use for emergency and just a small amount of flint just in case they ended up on the far end of that hundred feet. Frankly he'd been thinking of shadow traveling everyone there, so what if it'd probably make him fade out completely? At least it would make the quest go by quicker and with a group that big it would have been in that range. Thankfully Chiron thought ahead and gave them those magical coins which shut Simon up pretty quickly on arguing for using his shadow travel. Instead he just gave a short nod.
He still looked up a little when Ben said his name and his face wrinkled a little at the thought of their last quest. It had been in New York right around his mothers old home and to say that it hadn't been a pleasant experience when they saw each other was an understatement. The only good thing that had come out of that was he got an ally in the Hephestous cabin so he could work with someone to figure out his charm bracelet. He just wanted to know so he could create more charms and have a bigger arsenal than his shortsword that got all creepy and shadowy when he used it in battle. It was highly effective and he adored that weapon but he still wanted to have some back ups just in case it was rendered ineffective one day.
He frowned when Carly mentioned Colt, knowing it was a hard topic for her, and he shuffled forward and wrapped his spindly arms around Carlys shoulder as he gave her a rather rare form of affection. He had no plans on offering his condolences or saying anything, comforting people wasnt his forte and even this hug was awkward for him, but he decided that his presence would be enough for Carly. She knew that he had been friends with Colt, too, not really close but considering how close he was with Carly it was a given that he knew her quiet twin. He didn't feel a dull ache in his chest, death wasn't that big for the son of Hades, but he knew that Carly felt it and wanted to be there for her.
He stayed that way when Ez came up, the faint worry fading from his face when the son of Aphrodite came in, scowling only slightly as he eyed the man warily. There was somethign about the ease and grace that the demigod spoke that just made him a little bit unsettled... then again that was the feeling he got when he was around basically anyone but his siblings so that wasn't saying anything about the others nature. "What do you want?" He grumbled a little, not sure what the other was getting at, hoping he'd go away.

Ben Howard // In the woods, behind the Forge
Ben had completely forgotten about Carlyโs brother Colt. He was a quiet kid, didnโt say much. The son of Hephaestus opened his mouth as if to apologize but shut it quickly, itโs probably best to end this conversation as fast as possible. Carly doesnโt look very comfortable talking about this yet. Ben sighed thankfully as Skylar appeared... it almost looked like she came from the Big House. โAh donโt worry about it Skylar as long as youโre here thatโs all that-โ The demigod stopped himself, swearing loudly as a familiar voice called out from behind him. Ezreal Feye, of all people that could have seen us it had to be him. Donโt get him wrong, Ez was Benโs best friend but he was one of the few people in this entire camp that he couldnโt talk into going away. The reason? Well despite all of Benโs efforts, Ezreal was a child of Aphrodite. A master at weaseling his way into any situation, more so than most children of Aphrodite. Ben let out a long sigh before he replied to the male demigod. โWeโre going on a top secret quest from Chiron.โ It was now literally impossible to stop Ezreal from coming on this quest. Top secret and Chiron were probably his two favorite words to hear. โWe donโt have time for you to pack a bag, so youโre gonna have to hope that someone in Alaska is kind enough to share their supplies with you. Kronusโ Scythe was stollen from a town called Whittier, yes itโs in Alaska not in Olympus. Weโre traveling there by these magic drachma.โ Ben pulled this coins from his pocket and handed one to each of the questers, including Ezreal. โForgive me for being in such a rush but if Iโm gonna die I might as well get over it. You too Ez if you come then itโs a certain death wish. Everyone look at this picture, itโs of Whittier, memorize it, take the drachma, flip it, close your eyes, and catch it. Make sure to hold hands or something, we can travel as a pack if we do that.โ Ben paused to catch his breath, inhaling deeply, then exhaling. โI forgot to mention... these things are very shoddy. So if you loose a finger, an ear, a leg, or whatever. Itโs entirely probable. Will it happen? I donโt know, maybe not. But knowing my luck, and you guys are children of the Big Three, itโs bound to happen to at least one of us.โ Ben looked at each face of the teens in front of him, the only one eager to go was Ezreal. โAlright, are there any questions before we go?โ

Well Skylar mostly avoids people except for her cabin-mates, but she could have at least run into people and had awkward conversations. She's not a social person after all, but during the quest she'll become more comfortable around the group and start caring about them. Which is why at some point she really needs to lose it when someone gets badly hurt/dies, and goes on a terrifying rampage where she destroys a group of monsters like they're nothing. XD))

(Well I'd be willing to have some kind of friendship/knowing each other between Carly and Skylar if you want unless you'd rather have her develop the friendships later on?
Also I'm home from classes now so I should just be on if anyone wants to do some chatting or plotting)
