Hunter sat on the edge of the sword fighting arena, the son of Zeus looking like he was in thought. Things definitely seemed tense around camp from the attack. He shook his head, trying to clear it. He should try and focus on something else, like capture the flag.
Shard was lounging outside the Aphrodite cabin, the laid back boy enjoying the sun. He was growing bored however, wanting to do something but he had no ideas.
Quinn walked out of her cabin, letting out a yawn and stretching. She wondered where Nathaniel was, wondering if he had a task for her.

Jacob was working down in the forge. He hasn’t come out in a day or so, becoming consumed with his work. He sat down on a bench for a moment, tinkering with something small in his hands. After a few moments he huffed in anger and tossed it aside. Another failure.

Spencer eventually got tired of awkwardly fighting the dummy, looking in desperate hope for someone she knew. She lit up when she saw Hunter, but then frowned seeing that he looked disturbed. She made her way over to him, hoping not to spook him. “Hey!…bro”she said, with a small awkward chuckle. “Um…are you okay?”she asked, leaning on her sword.
Emilia was taking a walk around camp when she saw Quinn leaving the Hermes cabin. She smiled and waved at her,”Hey Quinn, you just waking up?”she asked her.

"It would certainly be nice to get a win, but I doubt I'll be able to come up with a plan better than the one Horus has likely come up with." Echo said before giving Nat a playful smirk, "But that doesn't mean we won't be giving the Athena cabin a run for their money." She added as an after thought.
Nathaniel kicked some trash in Mathias' direction, a grin breaking out on his face, "You're hot bubble bath awaits you, Your Majesty." He teased before turning around and wading into his own pile of trash, a grimace on his face as he tried to ignore the stench of it. Once he was finished, he looked over at Mathias, "You go for the legs, I'll go for it's eye. If we manage to blind it, we can get an instant advantage on it."
Kumiko walked into the Forge just in time to see Jacob throw away whatever it was he was working on and blinked in surprise, "Woah. Someone's in a mood today." She said to him, making her way towards him and sitting beside him at the bench, "What's wrong? Something on your mind today?" She asked, leaning against the table and looking up at him.

Nat nodded at her,”I agree, that would be best,”she said. Having a traitor among them meant that if they even got a whiff of people seriously investigating the matter, they could be in real danger. “We could get some good intel…”she started, turning to Echo with a mischievous smile tugging on her lips,”and…ya know…win at the same time,”she added with a smirk. Christian looked at Levin,”what do you think they’re going to do to you?”he asked, raising an eyebrow. He was slightly concerned, even though he wouldn’t voice it nor show it at all. But this was his way of caring. “The same thing every paranoid crowd does when listening to the voice of a pretty little Aphrodite kid.” Levin mused smoothly. “They’ll listen, do as she wants, and I’ll be chased out of here like a little raccoon. Except, they’ll get the wrong person, of course. Not that they’ll know that, because I’ll now get all the credit for these delicious acts against camp, seeing as I’ll need my revenge of course.” Levin teased, rolling casually onto his back. “I told you all that I can protect our dear leader, yes? I can do so much more, I can be anyone you need. Thank mommy dearest for that.” He snorted, speaking of Hectate with a cold seething. |

They fancied themselves as gods, not mere kings.” Mathias smirked, before he rolled his eyes and made his way through one of the clumps of trash. Scowling, he agreed. “I’ll tear his legs apart for making me wade through all his trash. My mother would shred my ass up if I ever messed up her house like this.” He snorted, missing his mother’s firm grace once again. He hoped she never had to deal with these monsters. |

Ryver's smile grew bigger, if that was even possible. He was glad that Soul was finally starting to get a liking for Camp Half-Blood. "I'm glad you like it then," he stated. He crossed his arms and tapped his fingers in what seemed to be a pattern on his elbows. It was one of his habits that he had. Ryver wondered where they should go to next that wasn't too popular at this time of day. "How about we go check out the stables next," he asked waiting for for her response.
[ Icefire15] -------------------- Emma listened to what Valen had to say about her stance. She nodded as he corrected her. She turned her upper body ever so slightly to the right, ever so remembering how her ribs showed through her skin. She gave her head a small shake, clearing the though from her mind. "This look better," she asked Valen. [ Moonblazer] -------------------- Dakota shivered at the thought of being found by such monsters. They straightened up, not wanting to look like a wimp in front of another person. The thought of those monsters lingered in their mind, however. They looked over at Phi. He seemed a bit more confident and less frightened than they did. "How long are we gonna stay out here?" |

[ Thank you Icefire! They're really fun to write so it means a lot that someone finds them entertaining too <3
I'll retire Momo & Mita for a bit- I was going to 'respond' to you but I figured it wouldn't be much of one because both parties already kind of said their goodbyes? ^^; ]
** Legato H. Suo / @anyone
-
It's about midday when Legato finally allows himself to retire from going over 'samples' filched shortly after the attack on Camp. Which is the story he's going with, as no one had been around to see him drooling into his arms in a nest of test tubes at a secluded part of the lake. Or at least, he dearly hopes no one had come across him. This part of his research isn't necessarily taboo, but if Wanda finds reason to compose another sonnet about how he 'snores like a puppy' he will have no recourse but to actually join the monsters in their next assault. Targeting her lute in particular. He's low enough on sleep to commit to it.
It'd been hellish attempting to sleep in a cabin full of people who turned to music for comfort. One first-time camper had attempted to tearfully sing himself to sleep and Legato had to leave before he did something violent. At least no one was singing Wonderwall. Yet... Wanda might, so a preemptive strike may be in order. But first-
Legato sits up with a leonine stretch, wincing at the warning pings along his neck and spine at being forced to sleep in such an awkward position. He allows them to remain as a form of reminder not to do it again, but he has yet to find a way to resist the draw of sleep whenever it creeps up on him. Especially with the hours he keeps... A glance at his watch reveals that this is 'peak traffic' time as he sees it, meaning that there are plenty halfbloods out and about to rope into his latest series of tests.
He catches onto the trailing thought he'd fallen asleep with and releases it with the pen still slotted between his fingers, scribbling out a new formula and adding desired results into the margins. After a brief pause, Legato begrudgingly adds the most likely outcome. Cellular erosion is chief among them but he'll cross that bridge when het gets to it.
This done, he flicks his bulging notebook shut and slips it into his satchel.
Wind-scattered vials & instruments are carefully packed away and rolled into a padded leather bag that he slings over his back. He is then forced to kind of hobble up the bank with pins and needles assaulting his extremities. His stride blessedly smooths out before he can rise into view, and the brunet is belatedly reminded to hastily scrub at his face before he enters the Camp proper.
And now to find someone interested in a little adventure. Of a sort. Echo had already taken a contingent out to inspect the Forest, or so he heard, so it'd have to be someone who hadn't already surveyed it. A child of Ares was the more likely option, as his plan generally involves harassing creatures into fighting them but Legato can't exactly afford to be picky when taking his temperament into account...Not that he's terrible or anything. But his latest performance review during their recent camp-wide game cited him as being 'a challenge to work with'. More like a 'blessing' but he won't quibble over semantics.
Legato observes the separate pockets of halfbloods that populate the area as he eases back into the ebb and flow of camp but a familiar face slows his strides. |

Hunter jumped slightly, having been taking out of his thoughts by Spencer. “Oh uh hey.” He spoke. He shook his head to clear it before continuing. “Yeah I’m fine, just thinking about the attack.” He admitted with a sigh.
Quinn heard her name and turned in that direction. Her heart fell when it wasn’t Nathaniel looking for her. “Yeah I just woke up from a nap.” She lied. She had been working on something.
Jacob was still pouting when Kumiko walked in. “I’m just frustrated.” He spoke, reaching over to grab what he had thrown. “I’ve been working on something for hours and I can’t get it right.” He said.

"How long are we gonna stay out here?" “Much better.” Valen nodded, walking around to watch from the side now as he continued. “Try giving it a shot now. Follow through with the throw, so you don’t have to force it too much.” He offered, hoping that she would hit the center this time. |

Phi raised an eyebrow at Dakota as they asked him how long they should stay outside the safety of the barrier. It took him a moment to respond, but when he did he said, "I don't know really, never gave it a thought really." He chuckled slightly as he said this, for just like his ability to cause madness to other he was also mad. For what is madness if not risking ones own life without thinking about what he is actually doing. With a smirk he then asked his accomplice, "Why, already ready to go back?"

Ugh... I'm sorry, I wanted to respond, but sometimes I just don't get on my laptop for a couple days at a time. Sadly, the phone app isn't working so I never check that anymore. Not sure what's wrong with it. I will definitely try to be online more. I'm available most late night like 8 pm est to midnight or 1 just depending on what my work schedule is. They scheduled me early this entire week and its nice, but I'm so over having to get up early lol)

Okay I'm not gonna touch Blaze for now just cause him and Josie was still together from last point, but I'll throw out some quick starters for both Shadow and Kassie)
After his conversation with Kumiko and parted ways with her, Shadow had crossed Camp Half-Blood, wandering aimlessly. His thoughts of their conversation still present. "While I understand the negative emotions behind the whole traitor, we have to be prepared in case something is to occur once more." As he moved across the terrain, he found himself starting out at the lake, watching a few of the younger campers play with the naiads from their canoes. Their blissful ignorance a feeling he wish he could experience in these darker times.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The moment her eyes slowly opened, her body ached like a chariot of pegasi had completely trampled her. Her limbs made of lead, weighed down in the infirmary cot she laid in. Her mouth opened, but not much come out except for a small groan. The last thing she remembered was Echo and Connor bringing her out of the forest before she passed out completely. Then recollection of the last time she had saw her father and mother. They didn't really reach out to her especially her dad. Her bitterness toward him stung despite the difficulty it was for messages to reach campers from the outside world.

Emma took a deep breath. She looked at Valen out of the corner of her eye. She really didn't want to make a fool out of herself in front of him. Now she felt a little under pressure and shaky. She feared that if she threw it, she'd make a fool out of herself and he would start laughing at her or think she's weak. Emma took a few more deep breaths, calming herself down, and threw the dagger. Just like that, it hit almost dead center. She looked over at Valen with a huge smile on her face. "I nearly hit it dead center! Thank you so much," she said feeling overjoyed. She wanted to go and give him a hug to show appreciation, but feared she'd overstep her boundaries if she did. [ Moonblazer] -------------------- Dakota sharply inhaled. They didn't want to appear weak in front of anybody, so they put on a brave face. "No," they replied, "Just wanted to know." They also didn't want to be caught. Being caught outside of camp without permission could hold some serious consequences that Dakota wasn't quite sure they wanted to face yet. The longer they stayed out here, the more chance they have of being caught. "We just don't want to be out here too long. We could get some serious consequences if we're caught outside camp without permission." [ bloodrosepelt] (I apologize for being inactive. I just started back at school.) |

Circe had been standing in the shallow end of the lake just looking out at the water, and those that splashed about in it. As she looked she rubbed where she had recently been cut in her match with Axel. With a sigh she grabbed where her former cut, which was now closed due to being in the water, and scolded her weakness. She could feel the shiver that accompanied the cold wind of disaster. She was not one to with the ability to foretell the future, but some fear just nipped at her mind. Growling slightly she quickly stomped her foot hard in the water and made a splash, which quickly froze and sent small chunks of ice in Shadow’s direction.
Phi chuckled at Dakota as he pulled out his flask of soda and said, “Well you do have a point there I guess. It would be annoying to get yelled at again by Chiron, but that is nothing new.” Quickly taking a swig he started to think of the actual consequences that could befall them if they got caught. With a slight growl he put his flask back up in his pocket as he said, “Man you really just had to bring me down to reality. Fine if you really to go back then let go, I really don’t want to clean out the stables again.”

While his mind wasn't exactly focused, he was forever grateful for his demigod instincts sensing the danger out the ice chunks thrown toward him. Quick as a hare, Shadow pulled Phantom from his stealth and turned his sword's edge to block the few chunks coming toward him. Almost as quick as he pulled his sword, he reversed the motion by sliding Phantom back into it's safe place. "Well hello to you too," Shadow muttered as he gave a small smirk. "You alright?" |

Circe heard as the ice came into contact with the metal of Shadow’s sword and quickly turned to face it. With a slight blush she said, “I am sorry, I did not know that you were there.” Walking out of the water she quickly dried her legs off. Once that was done she looked at Shadow and with a sigh said, “Sorry again for that, my mind was preoccupied with this weird feeling I have and this duel I had with some earlier.”

Shadow held up his hand with a smile, a small gesture to assure Circe no damage was done. He relaxed a little more as he knew Circe truly meant no harm and she was elsewhere in a moment. "That feeling is mutual, though I can't say the same about a duel? Injured?" He asked. Shadow's eyes flicked toward a few campers splashing down further past Circe, but he quickly moved back to Circe. Not many reasons could get him into the lake especially due to being remotely in Poseidon's domain.
