Dakota followed after Phi. "What do you think could find us here?" They were genuinely concerned about what could, or would, find them in the forest. Having to have permission before leaving camp was a rule for a reason after all. They hoped that they wouldn't get into any trouble, with the camp or with monsters in the forest. [ bloodrosepelt] -------------------- Emma cautiously took the dagger from Valen's hand. She pushed herself up to a standing position. "That's interesting. Considering that the rest of them are pretty quiet themselves," she commented. She'd always known Hades kids as the quiet and mysterious type. She wasn't sure why they'd try to get him to be more social, aside from the fact that he's the counselor of the Hades cabin. "I wouldn't mind you helping me practice," she decided, "As long as you want to, of course." Somebody helping her practice might be good for her. She just didn't want somebody to do it because they felt obligated to or sorry for her. “I’d be happy to assist.” Valen nodded lightly, hoping to assure her that he wanted to help, not because he felt obligated to. He smiled, ever so slightly, a faint laugh escaping him. “I guess all of us in my cabin need to get out more.” He turned back to look at the targets, inspecting them for a moment before he spoke again. “May I see your throwing stance?” |

Phi thought for a moment before saying, "Well that depends on whatever is near by. We could run into cyclops, hellhounds, or anything the gods want to throw at us." Honestly he had heard of those kinds of monsters being seen the most around here. With a shrug he then said, "Honestly I wouldn't mind seeing a stymphalian bird."

Emma huffed slightly. She went over to the line which marked where to stand. She fumbled the dagger around in her hands for a second and then got ready. Emma stretched out her right arm while she pulled her left forearm back, dagger in hand. She looked over at Valen. "This good?" Valen inspected her stance for a few moments, before he seemed to realize something. He walked towards her, nodding once as he copied her stance with his own body. He began to speak. "Your stance is good, it's your angle that's a little off center, I think. The way you move your arm and body to throw the weapon should align with your target. Shift your upper body ever so slightly to the right, and your ending position should line up with the target better when you release the dagger." He offered. |

(Sure, tho i can only rp for like an hour or so)
Lyra held a small gleam of rainbow light in her palm, humming with a hint of annoyance as she waited for Christian to return to their cabin. With Levin now properly charading himself as a son of Iris, they could start working with their tricks to get Phoenix to join Nathanial’s side.

After going about whatever Christian was doing (in the time I’ve been gone lol), he finally headed back to his cabin, entering to see his sister. “Hey,”he said a bit cautiously, sensing her annoyance as he sat down on his bed.
(What have I missed by the way?)

(What have I missed by the way?) (I made a Hectate son who is currently pretending to be a child of Iris and seeking to manipulate Phoenix to unlock her true power and eventually join Nathanial. Besides that, Mathias and Echo got into an argument and campers are trying to figure out why monsters invaded the last capture the flag game.) “Took you long enough.” Lyra sighed, before she put her hands on her hips. “Nathanial took off with Mathias to go riff around in the city. Maybe, a monster will take care of Mathias for us. But. Better than that, Levin’s confident we can butter up Phoenix if we use her fears against her. After all, she still doesn’t know what she’s capable of.” She smirked, as Levin waved a hand from his new room. “Comfy, in this camp! Too bad I haven’t come here until now.” Levin crooned, crossing his arms and resting his chin on his palms. “My darling siblings.” He snickered, mockingly. |

Sounds good!) Soul blinked in surprise when Ryver ran off towards the beach and quickly followed after him at a bit of a slower pace. The healer he had taken her to had certainly helped, but she didn't think she had the energy to chase after him at a full sprint. As they got closer to the beach, she slowed to a stop once she caught up to Ryver, looking down at the sparkling lake. Echo left the Big House after reporting her findings to Chiron, lost in thought as she considered the clues her, Connor and Kassie had found in the forest. She had left Connor to take the unconscious daughter of Hecate to the infirmary so that Echo could seek out Chiron, and now that her job was done, she wasn't quite sure what to do next. Giving a sigh and a shake of her head, Echo turned towards the training arena, figuring that training for a bit would clear her head for a bit and take her mind off of everything that had been going on. She just hoped Mathias wouldn't be at there, not wanting to face the son of Ares after the argument they had the night before. Roxana was at the climbing wall, taking a bit of a break from the Forge and working on her climbing skills. The last time she and her siblings had trained there, she had stumbled and almost ended up breaking her neck because of her slip up. Wanting to improve herself, she had decided to try practicing by herself for a bit and see how well she did. She quickly dodged to the left to avoid getting hit by some lava and flaming rocks before reaching for the next hand hold, her arms already getting tired after the first couple of climbs. Roxana gave a huff and pulled herself up, placing her hands and feet carefully as she made her way to the top of the wall. here’s my starter post from a few days ago.) |

Christian nodded at Lrya, “Good. We could definitely use her,”he said, giving a brief glance to Levin, along with a forced smile, which came out more as a grimace, at the sound of being called “darling”. He looked between the two of them, leaning back, “why are they in the city?..is he trying to recruit Mathias?”he asked, frowning slightly. He wondering how firm Nathanial was in his stance. Or could he be swayed by his half brother? Where did Mathias stand?

Mathias was pissed, and Nathanial knows that he’s unpredictable. Better to get him on our side, but Mathias seems to take orders from nobody.” Lyra mused, rolling her eyes. Sure, he was a real looker, but she didn’t like how much of a threat he could be to either side of a fight when he felt like it. |

Natasha was in the training arena, seemingly beating the life out of a training dummy. She was letting off steam, her mind occupied by everything that had happened after the last capture the flag game. He body was on the mend too, having taken a battering from the attacks. It frustrated her, that for how much she trained and fought, she still felt like she wasn’t able to make an actual difference. Being a child of Hermes definitely didn’t come with special powers, and sometimes she really envied other Demi-gods for their gifts. She was panting when she finally paused for a moment and leaned on the dummy. As she was taking a breather, she saw Echo entering into the arena. “Hey!”she called over, weakly waving her arm overhead.

Echo shook herself out of her thoughts when she heard Nat call out to her. Giving her friend a strained smile and a wave, Echo changed her direction and started towards the other girl, “Hey. How’s the training going?” She asked once she had reached Nat.

Christian snorted,”yeah…he’s really unpredictable…well what’s next then?”he asked, leaning back and staring at the ceiling. “What exactly are we supposed to do now?”he asked, glancing at them. He felt antsy, wanting to get on with things. He felt nervous being in camp and the thought that they could be discovered, especially after the attack and the suspicion surrounding it.

Nat watched as Echo looked startled and started making her way over. She tilted her head as she approached, moving out of her sitting position. “It’s…going. Still recovering from…everything…”she said lightly. “Are you okay?…Because you look like there’s something on your mind,”she prompted her, a genuine look of concern on her face. She knew that Echo wasn’t a frivolous person, and if she was concerned about something, then it was serious.

“Hm? Oh, it’s nothing really.” Echo said, giving a small shake of her head, “I’ve just been to see Chiron. Connor and I went to go see if we could find any clues from the attack this morning. I guess I’m just trying to piece it all together is all.” She added. Of course, there was a lot more than that on her mind, but it seemed like everything was all jumbled up and she couldn’t focus on just one thing. Echo heaved a frustrated sigh and gave another shake of her head, this one firmer than the last, “Anyways, I thought I would come here and clear my head before I drive myself crazy.”

Nat gave a half hearted chuckled, “well…that’s what I was trying to do too,”she said with a sigh. “Not having much luck though,”she murmured. The had a thoughtful look for a moment before a small smirk split across her face. “You know…I do have something at my cabin that could…clear our heads?”she offered, smiling at her friend. She had some hidden contraband in the form of strong alcohol, hidden in the cabin. Ofcourse, that wouldn’t be too surprising, Hermes kids were known for being slippery and sneaky.

“Oh, yeah? And just what might that be?” Echo asked, arching an eyebrow at her friend. Judging by Nat’s mischievous smirk, Echo could tell that whatever it was, it most certainly wasn’t something that was allowed into camp. She gave her own smile, starting to feel herself relax again. Echo had spent the majority of the past two weeks trying to figure out this mystery, perhaps it was about time to take a break from it.

“Oh you know…something I may have snuck in from my last trip out of camp.”Nat said, winking at her as she picked up her stuff and started walking towards the cabin. “It’s crazy how easily you can get whatever you want if you give a guy a little attention,”she told Echo, with a small chuckle. “Also, it’s a bottle of whiskey,”she added.

“Say no more, I’m there.” Echo said, following after Nat. It had been awhile since the last time someone had snuck alcohol into the camp, and it hadn’t ended very well either. Echo was glad for the distraction though, happy to get her mind off of recent events. “Mind if we go somewhere without anyone else though? I’m not exactly in the socializing mood today.” She said with a sigh.

Nat smiled at her, gently slinging an arm over her shoulder and giving her a gentle, reassuring squeeze. “No problem. We’ll grab it and go, you pick the spot,”she told her. As they approached the cabin, she walked in, going over to her bed and kneeling at the edge. She moved a panel of wood from the floor, grabbing the bottle of whiskey from the hidden area, and stuffed it into a leather satchel she had, slinging it over her shoulder. She came out soon after, walking back over to Echo. “Where to?”she asked her.

Echo gave Nat a grateful smile at her response, glad that she had agreed. When the daughter of Hermes came back out of her cabin, Echo took the lead and turned towards the forest. There was a spot on the outskirts of the forest that would be safe enough for them from any lurking monsters and was hidden enough for them to go undisturbed by other campers. “I like to come here sometimes when I want to be left alone, or if I’ve had a bad day.” Echo told Nat over her shoulder, leading her to a small clearing where a large tree had fallen over. The trunk of the tree was big enough for a couple of people to be able to sit comfortably, a perfect spot for the two to drink the whiskey. “The trees here are pretty thick and the bushes make it difficult for anyone to spot us, so we should be left alone.”

Nat glanced around as they entered the area, “it’s a nice spot”she said, appreciating the privacy and peace. She also appreciated that no one would catch them and snitch. She settled down on the trunk of the tree, crossing her legs. She waited for Echo to settle down before reaching the bottle out to her, “would you do the honors?”she asked smiling. Natasha appreciated Echo, and considered her a close friend. She often felt at times that her own cabin and the children of Aphrodite were usually at odds with each other, both being highly populated and with contrasting personalities. Yet, Echo was different from her half-siblings and she felt that they were similar to each other. Especially in this moment, where she was happy to be away from the more buzzing parts of camp.

Echo hopped up onto the tree trunk and settled down across from Nat, crossing her legs as well. Once settled, she reached out and accepted the bottle from Nat, “Gladly.” She said with a sigh. Echo quickly opened the bottle up and took a long drink from it before handing it back to Nat, screwing her eyes shut as the alcohol burned down her throat, “Yup. I definitely needed that.” She said, blinking her eyes open again. Echo leaned back on her hands and took in her surroundings, glad to have some peace and quiet for once. “Thanks for this, Natasha. These past few days haven’t exactly been the greatest.” She said, a solemn look falling onto her face as she watched tree branches sway in the wind.

Nat took the bottle back from her, also taking a long swig from the bottle, scrunching her face at the burn. She took a deep breath. “Of course, what are friends for,”she said with a small smile. She looked up at the canopy of leaves above them, her eyes following the streams of light peeking through it. “I get it. Things have been…well bad. I don’t think I’ve ever seen camp so shaken up,”she said softly, and sad look coming into her eyes. “…Well I don’t think ever seen you think bothered either,”she added, looking back at her friend and passing the bottle to her.
Jared was on by the lake, sitting on the beach and looking out over the water. Like the other campers, his mind was on the recents attacks that took place in camp. Something was bothering him about that day.
