“Well, I think it’s pretty freaking cool!” Nova said, putting everything she had taken out back into the bag. She held it up in front of her, giving it a light shake, “And look! It doesn’t weigh nothing at all! I pretty much put almost my entire room in here!” She added.

“Nova, you realize that this is physically impossible, right? Bags can’t-“ Ryder cut off, taking a long and deep breath, before he hurriedly finished his packing. “Rey’s right. We need to leave, now. So take the… magic bag? Dear christ, what the hell- and let’s go, okay?” He asked.

“It’s like Mary Poppins.” Nova said, ignoring her brother’s concern and panic. She slung the bag over her shoulder and gave a small twirl, liking how it complimented her outfit for the day. “I’m going to go get my jacket!” She said, rushing for her room again.

She slung the bag over her shoulder and gave a small twirl, liking how it complimented her outfit for the day. “I’m going to go get my jacket!” She said, rushing for her room again. "Unbelievable." Ryder murmured, trying to calm his fired up nerves. Magic leather bags, some weirdoes with the initial "A" sending random gifts in their foster home? What the hell was next, a magic portal to Neverland? Ryder swallowed down the frightening and infuriating thought that maybe their foster parents had given them something to mess with their heads, incapacitate them. He felt a desire to go in and fight with them again, for daring to do something so illegal and awful, especially to a child like Nova.

Anyone got a place for James to play?) (I have Rosaline, Lloyd, and Lucille open!) Rosaline sounds fun, you kind starting?)

“I mean I guess if it really is magic.. it wouldn’t hurt to throw all our stuff in.” Rey suggested lightly. “It would make it easier on all of us.” She spoke.

Rosaline had noticed Echo trailing off somewhere, though her attention was brought right back to the magazine she was looking at. She’d have to go out and get some new outfits soon. So long as luck was on her side, she never worried much about Monsters coming after her. She stretched her legs before crossing them as she lazed on one of the lawn chairs near her Cabin.
Ryder looked ready to burst when Rey said that, his eyes wide as he wheezed. “Oh god, just-… Okay. Go ahead and ride whatever this is out. I hardly have any stuff anyway. My bag will be fine.” He shook his head, before he paused, hearing muffled arguing down the hallway between their foster parents.

Nova hurried back to her siblings’ room after she had grabbed her jacket, closing the door quietly behind her, “Ready. Sounds like our fosters are going at it again. How are we going to get past them?” She whispered, not wanting to bring their foster parents attention to them and what they were planning.
Echo left her cabin and started towards we’re Jacob and the others were headed, knowing that she could easily catch up to them.
Phoenix walked next to Kyo and Roxana, whispering quietly to them, “When we get to the city, we should take off when he’s not looking. I bet he wants to spend some alone time with Kumiko, that’s probably why he asked Echo to come along, to keep us distracted or something.” She said.
Roxana gave a small nod of agreement, although she secretly wished that Shard had been with Echo at the time too. It would be nice to spend some time with him as well.

Ryder stiffened, keeping Nova close to him. “We’ll have to bust out from the window or something. They’ll hear us walking past. Rey, any ideas on this one?”
Kyo nodded quickly, speaking quietly. “I see. Perhaps we can go to some of the shops. An antique store would be great.” He offered, thinking of what they could do in the meanwhile.

Rey quickly finished packing, throwing the stuff she would need immediately in her backpack and throwing the rest of her stuff in Nova’s magic backpack. She made sure she had everything within easy arms reach she’d need. “Well you need time to get to the safe for money.” She looked at Ryder. “Nova and I will be a distraction.”
Shard popped up next to his sister, an easy grin on his face. “Where you think you’re heading off too?” He asked teasingly.

Ryder looked unhappy at the idea of them being a distraction, but he knew that Rey was right. He needed to get into the safe and get the money. Most of it was theirs anyway, from the state, that they never got to see. So, Ryder felt even more determined to get it. He nodded. “Get them out here and away from their room. I’ll get the money, and slip into the hall bathroom. When they go back to their room, we’ll all leave out the window.” He nodded.

Nova nodded in agreement, “I’m ready whenever you are, Rey!” She whispered excitedly. Nova was more than ready to say goodbye to this place and their so called foster parents.
“Heading into town with Jacob, his siblings and Kumiko.” Echo responded with her own grin, “Why, you want to come with?” She asked, arching her eyebrow at him.
Roxana nodded eagerly at the suggestion of an antique store, “I bet we could find some interesting stuff there.” She said quietly.
“Then it’s agreed. We take off once we get off the bus.” Phoenix said with a mischievous grin.

Rey nodded to Ryder before looking at Nova. “We’re going to pretend we are going out.” She spoke. “To get some food or something. That’ll give Ryder a chance.” She spoke. “We only have the two bags which isn’t suspicious thanks to your magic one.” She moved to open the door to head downstairs. “Come on.”

Shard’s grin turned into a light frown. “Do you think that’s a good idea? With all that’s going on you shouldn’t be leaving camp.” He said, voice sounding more serious.

Kyo offered a knowing little smile, though he blinked curiously as Shard began to approach Echo. He glanced once at Roxana, before he looked intently at Phoenix. This was just getting better and better!
Ryder nodded quickly, whispering for his sisters to be careful, before he maneuvered his way out of the room to wait for them to lead their foster parents away from the bedroom.

Nova hurried after Rey, staying close by her. Despite her excitement, she could feel nerves flitting through her as they went down the stairs. “Um, where are we going to go eat?” She asked, trying to play the part.
“Relax, we’ll be fine.” Echo said, nudging Shard in the arm. She nodded towards the small group they were walking towards, “There’s a group of us, so there’s safety in numbers. You’re more than welcome to join us, I’m sure Roxana would love to have you with us.” She added in a light teasing tone.
Phoenix noticed Shard as well and looked at Kyo, her grin growing wider, “Well, would you look at that.” She said, giving Roxana a nudge.
Roxana looked up at Phoenix’s nudge, feeling a small blush form on her cheeks when she noticed Shard. She pulled her scarf up further and hurried after Jacob and Kumiko, “L-let’s h-hurry up.” She stuttered.

“Um well how about McDonald’s.” Rey suggested. She wasn’t a half bad actor. She headed down the stairs and towards the door. “I could go for some nuggets.” She said.
Shard tried to hide the light blush at Echo’s words. “Uh yeah I think I’ll tag along. Just to make sure you’re safe and all.” He spoke, eyes on Roxana.

Kyo watched Shard’s eyes flit over to Roxana, and he leaned over to Phoenix to whisper. “Oh, he’s made it so obvious, he’s looking right at her right now.” He teased, glancing at Roxana with a knowing twinkle in his eyes.

“Nuggets sound pretty good!” Nova said with a smile, speaking a little louder than she had to.
“Where do you two think you’re going?” Snapped a sudden sharp voice, the tall figure of their foster father rounding a corner. Nova couldn’t help but jump at his angry voice, blinking wide eyes at him.
Echo grinned at Shard’s reaction, “Well, let’s get going then.” She said, picking her pace up to catch up with the others.
Roxana’s blush grew when she caught Shard’s eyes look her way and adjusted her scarf to hide it. She also hid the small happy smile that had taken place on her face as well, glad that Shard had come along as well.
“Don’t tease her, you know how shy she is.” Phoenix said with a small laugh, “Come on, let’s get out of this camp, I’m ready for a break.”
Kumiko looked over her shoulder and gave a smile, “Oh hey, Shard! Are you coming with us too?” She asked, giving him a wave.

Ryder waited for the sound of their fosters’ yelling, as they left the bedroom. Slipping quickly down the hall, he slid into the open door, veering right to the walk-in closet. The safe was in here, tucked in the corner beneath a pile of clothes. Huffing silently, he worked quickly to access the dial.
Kyo chuckled quietly. “No worries. I won’t tease.” He promised, though it was clear that he was a little coy. It would be funny to see how it went. Though, a small part of him wondered if there was anybody who would look at him the way Shard looked at Roxana, or how Jacob looked at Kumiko. The quiet and dark voice in his mind reminded him who he really was, what he had done, how dangerous he was even to those he loved most. He stiffened for a second, the horrible phantom smell filling his nose again, before he snapped back into the present, and coughed lightly. “Sorry…, ah. Let’s go, then.”

James had just been wandering around the camp, trying to figure out what he was going to do that day. His half sister Evelyn had gone somewhere to do something and he had already done his training for the day. Stopping near where Rosaline was sitting he just grumbled and rubbed his head trying to think of anything to do. With a frustrated groan he swung his walking stick at the ground, sending rocks flying all around him. Some of these rocks flew in Rosaline’s direction.

Well, someone’s in a mood!” Rosaline gasped as she felt pebbles bounce off her skin. Luckily, none touched her face or eyes. She closed her magazine, sitting up and lifting a brow as she lowered her sunglasses and chuckled. “Hey there, James. You doing alright?”

James slightly jumped when he suddenly heard Rosaline talk to him. Calming himself down the son of Nemesis turned to face her and said, “Sorry Rosaline, I didn’t mean to hit you or see that for that matter. I am just bored and have nothing to do and no one to hang with.” Making his way over to Rosaline he asked, “So what are you doing?”

Rosaline decided, sitting up to look casually at the boy. "You know, your sister's totally trying to hit it off with Drake right now. She ran right to the Nike cabin to give him some sugar." She teased. "Desserts, I mean." She crossed her legs daintily, before she asked. "I was just looking at my magazines for this season's fashion. A sneaky trip to New York, and these babies will be mine for my closet." She hummed.

James sighed as he asked, “Rosaline, could you please not mention my favorite big sister giving anyone sugar? Literally that is so gross.” He then crossed his arms and said, “As for you going to New York, why don’t you go now? I want something to do and you want your fashion things, it is literally a win win. We could even stop at Evelyn’s dad’s place and get some food.”

Rosaline teased, before she blinked at James with surprise. "You want to go into the city now? It's just the two of us, you know. I don't know how much we'd do against monsters... though, I suppose if we're sneaky enough." She hummed, looking contemplative, before she gave a sweet smile. "Deal. We can swing by and tell him his daughter's doing just fine. He'd like that." She stood to her feet.

James smiled brightly as he said, “Awesome, this is gonna be so great!” Moving his walking stick to rest under his arm he asked, “Alright so what do we need to get Rosaline before we leave and how are we going to get there?” Moving his left hand into that side of his pants pocket and felt only a hand full of drachma. With a frown he said, “I don’t know about you but I am running low on drachma, really should have not made a bet with the Hermes kids.”

I can handle the rest.” Rosaline smiled, her glossed lips quirking up as she patted her washed jean pocket. “A girl’s got ways of getting her money, babe. But don’t worry about all that. We can take a bus or a taxi. Taxis will stop for me.” She humored, knowing how to use her looks to get what she wanted.

Though given what you said I doubt that will be that hard.”

Don't worry, Evelyn's gonna be in that Nike Cabin for as long as she can manage, trust me. She isn't going to want to leave anytime soon if she's got Drake's full attention. We'll be good to just slip right out." She promised, moving up the steps of her own cabin to get one of her sleek coats. Maybe change her earrings too, to look nice.
