Besnik "Bes" Tadd ❝ What's so remarkable about love at first sight? It's when people have been looking at each other for years that it becomes remarkable. ❞ ─ son of cupid ─ "How I found out-?" Besnik's eyes stretched wide in astonishment. "Crystal, it's been really slow these past few days. Same old same old. Of course everyone would know the instant a prophecy and quest is received! It had to be a pretty big deal if Lupa herself came to the cohorts, too." He straightened and grinned at her. "I'm pretty decent in combat! I know you're, like, the queen of kicking butt and taking names, but it's never a bad thing for someone to have your back just in case, right?" Oh, please agree. If he had to stay in this boring routine any longer his head would likely pop!
As Crystal accidentally flashed her tattoo, Besnik took a moment to admire - and envy - it. She was by far the most decorated soldier here at Camp Jupiter, and it was impossible not to look up to her in some way. She had truly been blessed by the gods, but her own talent and strength had shined through without the gifts and help she'd gotten. She was the perfect soldier, the perfect demigod, and the perfect hero. Of course, this garnered just as much criticism from the rest of camp; many believed that quests were just handed to her. Sure, she had proved herself capable of completing them with the best results, but it had gotten to the point where people felt that no-one else would be given a prophecy while she was here.
Wait. What had she just said? Besnik glanced up at the daughter of Jupiter with a look of astounding gratitude and hope. "Th-thank you! I'll be there in a flash! You won't regret this!" And off he went, bolting right back to his cohort. The majority of the demigods he bunked with were awake now, and all cast confused and annoyed glances as he rushed to get his backpack packed with three changes of clothes, some energy bars, his stash of ambrosia, and his weapon. He gave them little thought until he was already packed, and upon finishing, grabbed a little girl off of her bed and gave her a big hug. "See you later, Marie!" he chirped. "I'm going with Crystal!"
The girl, another child of Cupid, huffed and hugged her brother back. "Be safe. Please don't flirt with her; she'll mop the floor with you."
Besnik laughed and saluted. "Aye-aye!" With that he took off once again. It didn't take him long to do a very impressive slide to a stop next to Crystal by the camp exit, if he did say so himself. "I am so ready for this," he panted, his body practically vibrating in excitement. "Thank you again, ma'am."

Crystal made it to the entrance of the camp and came to a stop. She glanced at the guards posted there, but beyond that didn't pay them much mind. She knew how much people looked up to her and envied her. She also knew that they didn't like how many quests she was sent on. She wasn't an idiot. There was also nothing she could do about it. She hadn't meant to be this good at what she did, it was just how it had ended up. If she had a choice, she would send others in her place. But most of the time she was either asked for specifically, like this time, or it was too important for someone else to handle. Either way, she always ended up being the one to leave the camp.
If she could, she would have someone else go. She would ask other campers to take her place and go on the quest. But she knew that wouldn't end well for anyone. Her especially. She sighed heavily once more and crossed her arms. Maybe she could ask her father to send others in the future. She needed rest. She just didn't think it would be smart to tell anyone else about her true feelings. She needed to continue being a symbol for the camp. So she would suffer through it a little more. Hopefully this quest wrapped up quickly, otherwise she was really going to hate this.
She turned to look at Besnik as he ran up. She was glad he hadn't taken too long. She wanted to get this over with as fast as possible. "Alright, let's get going. Don't fall behind." She turned and started to move away from the camp. They were going to need some kind of transportation. Horses wouldn't exactly help much for the mileage they had to cover. A car was probably the best option, but she didn't have one herself. She did have a license thankfully, so that was a bonus. Public transportation was the best option probably, but last time she'd ridden on a bus it had exploded. So that probably wouldn't work. She hated figuring out travel.

Anatoly Blayke ❝ A hero can go anywhere, challenge anyone, as long as he has the nerve. ❞ ─ son of phanes ─ Brace the anaconda obediently slithered back up onto the top of the shower, satisfied with how soaked he had managed to get the son of Chronos-Aeon. He would have preferred to give the boy more of his soft-scaled cuddles, but he figured that would have to wait until another time. He could wait, he figured.
"Share the clean?" Anatoly crossed his arms over his chest and snorted, pale golden eyes flicking up to study his serpent. "More like he wanted to be a butt. He's like a child who tries to hug someone after playing in a mud pile." He shook his head fondly, though, then smiled gently at EJ as he listened. ...well, until he heard the news, anyway.
A quest? Well, this was. . . unexpected. While he had helped others out for their quests, and had been on a fair amount of missions before, he'd never been a part of a quest-quest. Nothing so official. He'd certainly never been a part of a prophecy before, but what really bothered him overall was that the prophecy mentioned New Rome and the 'daughter of an underground promise'. Underground promise? That had to be Styx, right? So that. . . could only mean that. . . Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter were involved.
He couldn't exactly say he wasn't unnerved by that. The entire reason that Camp Golden Age was created in the first place was because the demigod children of the titans and protogenoi weren't widely accepted by the Greek and Roman gods or their children, especially after what had happened during the second titanomachy and Gaea's war. For Pete's sake, the Roman and Greek camps didn't even have the best relationship with each other! How would these two women feel about this little meet-up? Finally, who was this child in a dark flower? This was definitely going to be one handful of a mission, wasn't it? "That's. . . really something," he finally breathed, sounding as if someone had sucked most of his energy out of him with a vacuum.
Anatoly almost looked like he could kiss EJ when the time-reversing demigod said he'd have his back. "What would I do without you, EJ?" He reached out and clasped EJ's shoulder in return, giving him a small grin and a squeeze. "Let me get dressed, and then you can tell me where we're heading so I can pack and prepare. I'll let the directors know I want you with me."

( *raises hand out of hole in the floor* yes hello I am an existing person I'm so sorry guys. @_@ This week has been really hectic. There's a set of twins my mom raised a long time ago that I consider to be my older brother and sister. About a week ago, their biological mom died of a drug overdose paired with her COPD, and they - and my own mama, who was close with her - are devastated. Mama is having heart complications, and I'm also having health issues we've been trying to get in line. That, paired with Geology and the project I'm trying to finish up, has really drained me. I promise I haven't quit and I'm not trying to avoid this RP, I'm just running on empty. I'll reply when I can. )

Besnik "Bes" Tadd ❝ What's so remarkable about love at first sight? It's when people have been looking at each other for years that it becomes remarkable. ❞ ─ son of cupid ─ Besnik smiled and fell in line behind Crystal, looking over his shoulder one last time to take in the sight of Camp Jupiter. He'd be back in no time, returning to the monontonous routine he'd gone along with for years, but for now he was as free as a bird carried by the winds. Rubbing his hands together, he breathed in as they left the warcamp and tried to steady his ever quickening heartbeat.
"We might be able to catch a bus to get into town!" he chirped after a few minutes, the black sheen of the highway coming into view. "A bus usually passes by around this time. From there we could find an actual taxi, or. . . something. I have enough money to get them to drive a couple hours, maybe more, but it all depends on whether the cabbi is actually willing to do it." He grinned at her, excitement making his eyes flare to life with light. "Unfortunately taxi's can't take us the entire way; we'll have to camp here and there."
He stopped beside the road and looked both ways, going quiet now. It was always a good idea to listen out for monsters at this point; the beasts were drawn close to the camps, not creeping close enough to be killed from afar but staying nearby in case lone demigods decided to venture out during a quest. Even the sound of passing cars drew in some monsters. . . well, anything that hinted that there was sign of human life nearby. Besides, monsters or not, they'd have to listen for traffic, to flag down any bus, and if it didn't come, possibly have to hitchhike.

Crystal sighed heavily at the sound of that. Great. Bus, right off the bat. It was almost like the universe was laughing at her right now. She didn't want a quest, so it gave one to her. She wanted it over quick, so they put her destination halfway across the states. She had a bad history with buses, so they made it so she had to take one. She really hared this right now. "No cabs. It's a monster's favorite disguise. As for the bus, I want to be on it as little as possible." She ran a hand through her hair as she looked up and down the road. "I hate being a demigod sometimes..." she mumbled.
Sure she wouldn't trade this life for anything, save for maybe her mother, but it was a real drag. Especially for children of powerful gods like her. Monsters were attracted to her like a magnet the second she stepped out of camp. It was like the only thing they'd been made for was to kill demigods. All they did was hunt them down. Even when they could be doing something else, the second a demigod was in their sights it was time to kill them. It made things like traveling on public transportation near impossible. She didn't like being blamed for damages on vehicles she rented or worrying about innocent people getting hurt. It was literally the worst.

Ethan "EJ" Jekkson ❝ if you can't make the most of any given moment, you don't deserve a single extra second. ❞ ─ son of chronos-aeon ─ The young man just winked and clicked his tongue, giving the other two finger guns as he shifted his weight at being accepted upon his request for escorting him there. It was always thrilling to be able to do something like that, and with his... talents, so to say, there wasn't anything that could get in their way.
Mixing with the other camps excited him, made him curious. They had always been a secret, always been so careful. But that was all about to change. Sure, there had been some deaths and more than usual at that. Some creature, a monster, knew about them and wasn't just targeting this camp, but all three.
There would be monsters, exploring, fighting. A true quest for everything! And boy oh boy was EJ excited for it. A hand went up to his carefully styled hair, looking at himself in the mirror to make sure he still looked alright, even with the dampness of his clothes due to the unexpected shower with the snake.
"This'll be amazing, dude!" His eyes were lit up with bright excitement, ready to experience it all. "We get to finally meet the other camps! We're going on an adventure!" He wanted to get out and explore, to do more than just repeat time to make sure that little things were still in place. He wanted to be able to get out and have a little... chaotic fun.
While he couldn't stop some things, time would always prove that he can't change the outcome of some things. He couldn't stop death, he couldn't stop something that would already happen if fate chose it to be that way. But EJ could prevent accidents. Things that he was meant to do, lives that he was meant to save? He could do that. That's another reason why he wanted to go.
He didn't want Anatoly to go alone.
He cleared his throat and flicked his gaze back to the other. "So, we're going to go to some place... uh, I think in Oklahoma?" There was a moment as he stood there, staring at his own reflection, trying to think, trying to remember. And then it hit him as he clapped his hands. "Ah! Robber's State Park! We're supposed to meet there! Well, you at least. I'll be there until then. Just to make sure they don't try to kill you." A cocky, confident smile came to his lips as he moved over and put an arm around the other's shoulders. "Time's always on our side. We don't have luck, we will never need it."
With that, he moved to go out of the bathroom, very energetic despite his headache. "I'll meet you over by the counselors. Got my bags already packed and ready to go. We're gonna make first contact with them! Hell yeah!" And then he sprinted off, peppy and excited as ever.

Finnian Oswell ❝ i don't have dark secrets. no, silly! i have bright ones. ❞ ─ son of hebe ─ Cross-eyed were his sea-green colored eyes as he watched his friend's bee come to his nose and give him a little buzz, giving a soft, childish giggle at the tickle. He gave a larger grin as he looked over at the other and gave a hum, bouncing on his toes a bit.
"Alright! We'll get 'im some lavender flowers!" Finni stated with a beaming look on his face. He glanced down by the door and swooped down to get the item by the door, offering the basket to Shephi. "You can take the basket 'nd organize it, I'll pick the colors that they all want, so everyone gets their colors!" Without missing a beat, he glanced out of their cabin, tilting his head.
Often mistaken as a young child, the boy-like young adult didn't usually get involved with quests, trying to avoid thinking out them. But, when he saw someone going on a quest, he was usually quick to make them a bracelet, necklace and a flower crown for their trip.
He knew that there was a buzz about with the feeling of a quest, but he wasn't going to be a part of it otherwise he and Shephi would've had a visitor. The freckle-faced young male blinked and moved out of their place, taking in a deep breath, enjoying the morning air.
There was something relaxing about it. He motioned for his best friend to follow him and moved out, giving a slight skip to his hopping walk, going towards the flower fields, giving a soft hum of a cheerful tune as he did so.

Besnik "Bes" Tadd ❝ What's so remarkable about love at first sight? It's when people have been looking at each other for years that it becomes remarkable. ❞ ─ son of cupid ─ Cabs could be a monster's disguise? Sure, he'd heard of a couple instances where car rides could go terribly wrong for demigods, especially when it involved public transportation and not the demigod's own vehicle, but... he wouldn't have ever guessed it was that bad. Bes frowned and glanced sideways at Crystal, hands twitching nervously at his side for a moment. If even the greatest warrior in Camp Jupiter was wary of riding a bus or taking a cab, it didn't instill the most confidence in Bes, either. Then again, they didn't have much of a choice. They could walk there, sure, but how long would that take? If the prophecy was so important, it would be a good idea to complete the quest as soon as possible, right? Besides, the Camp Half-Blood representative and the representative of that. . . other camp. . . wouldn't want to be kept waiting for long, right? Bes figured it wouldn't be a great first impression to walk up to the two of them if they had been waiting a week for them to arrive. Plus they had just as much of a chance of being attacked alone, walking, roughing it out in the woods, right?
"I won't let you down if a fight comes up," he vowed, giving the daughter of Jupiter a grin that he hoped looked confident and reassuring, even if it felt more like a weird and forced twitch of his lips. "If push comes to shove, we could maybe even get plane tickets?" His eyes scanned the treeline of the woods around the two of them. "There's less of a chance for monsters to be there, right? There are a few monsters capable of flight, but those who aren't don't usually try to trap themselves. If they caused too much damage, the plane could start to plummet, and then they'd die even if the demigod didn't finish them off first."
He didn't bother trying to bring up the fact that Crystal was the daughter of Jupiter. He didn't know if she was entirely fond of her connection to her father, or if she felt like it was more of a burden. He didn't want to annoy her with, 'Well, your dad owns the sky, so it should be okay!' He knew that wasn't always the case, anyways, even with the kids that Jupiter actually liked. Jupiter had the same habit of choosing when he was and wasn't helpful, just like any of the other gods Bes had learned about. He just figured that flying would be safer for demigods than walking or driving. Unless they're Neptune or Pluto's kids, but... let's not think about that, Bes.

Crystal glanced at Bes with a raised eyebrow. "You've never travelled with a child of the big three, have you?" She sighed heavily again, looking back at the road to keep an eye out for a bus. As much as she hated the idea, it was the fastest way into town. "I'm not worried about us dying in a fight. I'm worried about all the mortals getting killed. Monsters tend not to care about collateral damage, and they usually aren't worried about themselves. Unlike us, monsters can get a second shot. If they know they can kill us, they might sacrifice themselves to accomplish their goal." She crossed her arms and glanced at him again. "Imagine us being the reason an airplane gets taken out of the sky." She didn't like being the pessimist, but sometimes there was no other option.
She'd been doing this for too long not to know how monsters worked. There was an upside and downside to every form of transport. The plane was probably the safest once they were in the air, sure, but there was a lot of time stuck in a cramped terminal full of people. And planes didn't take off immediately. Plus there was landing as well. Monsters didn't always show themselves in front of mortals, but that didn't mean they wouldn't risk it. The mist was a powerful thing, and the right situation would mask them just as easily. Plus there was the fact they might not get their weapons through security. She really didn't want to be anywhere without her weapon. Then again, maybe they would get lucky? It was something that had avoided her her entire life, but maybe this once the fates would give her a pass. "We'll go to the airport, but the second there's a threat we get out of there."

Shephi Ailein ❝ When you've seen so much, you start to bee-lieve in anything. ❞ ─ son of aristaeus ─ Shephi flashed a cheerful grin up at his friend, raising his hand in a two-finger salute to the son of Hebe before hurriedly taking the basket. "I'll also keep an eye out for any monsters if we have to go out beyond the barrier. I'll ask any bees we find out there to do the same for us! They'll be our eyes in the sky." His eyes narrowed as he followed his friend out into camp, blinking blearily after a moment to get used to the glaring sun above. It was almost always sunny in Camp Half-Blood, which was nice and all, but. . . he longed for the scent of a field of flowers just after it had stormed, the dark clouds that light up with lightning. Storms were just as pretty as normal sunny days, after all, and were a nice change of space!
As they passed by the Ares cabin, Shephi walked closer to Finni to the point of their arms brushing. The Ares cabin had never singled them out or anything, but their battle-ready attitudes always made Shephi reluctant to make eye contact, especially so early in the morning. Despite this brief flash of cautiousness as they passed, however, Shephi's grin returned, thinking of a pun to what he'd just said. "They'll be sky spies," he whispered. "Telling us when to run. Flee bees."
Finni wasn't the only one who noticed the murmurs around camp. Someone had obviously gotten a prophecy or a quest, that much Shephi was certain about. Maybe even both? He couldn't tell who it was, though; there were just vague whispers here and there. No-one was truly awake enough yet to have gotten the details, but he was sure there would be full-blown gossip by the time he and Finni returned from their flower-picking escapade. He made a mental note to himself to keep an eye out for anything useful the person may need if they were going to be sent out any time soon, or something that would make them happy. Heck, honey wouldn't hurt, right? Even if the person chosen didn't like to eat honey, it'd still be good for soothing any wounds if they were short on ambrosia and nectar?
A new thought came into mind as they passed the crafts building. "Hey, hey!" Shephi excitedly took Finni's hand, giving it a little squeeze as he beamed up at the slightly taller boy. "How about we make new flower pots later? So we can replant some of these flowers?" Picking them was great, but he always felt bad about technically killing them. Plus it was easier on Finni; even if he could put life back into his flowers, Shephi was always worried he may overexert himself. He loved watching Finni when he used his powers, but if he could keep Finni from having to do it for as long as he could get away with it, just to make sure Finni would have more energy at the end of the day, he would do whatever was in his power.
