Hey, Blood! Good to see you!)
Nova stumbled and tripped over her own feet when Rey shoved her into Ryder, her eyes wide in shock at the sudden turn of events, “H-he’s right behind us!” She gasped, clinging to her older brother.
A loud and angry yell came not too far behind the two girls, the foster father trying to make his way past all of the shattered glass without stepping in it with his bare feet, “Get back here, you rotten children! You’ll pay for this!” He screamed and yelled, his anger reaching an even higher boiling point when he missed a step and walked right into the broken glass. At that point, the man decided to forgo all caution and charge through towards the three siblings. “Call the police on those delinquents, damn it!” He snarled at his wife.
Their foster mother stood in the doorway of the kitchen, staring down at her precious glass figurine collection, now completely ruined as her husband stomped on the few that had managed to survive the fall and breaking them beyond any repair. Her mouth opened and closed in shock, the phone falling from her hands as she was for once left speechless by the catastrophe that had broken her collection. At her husband’s demand that she call the cops, she shook herself out of her shock and picked up the phone and started dialing with shaky hands.
—————————
“Sure! I’m okay with that.” Kumiko said, grinning up at Jacob. Reaching into her bag, she pulled out a rather small arrow, one that wouldn’t fit any regular bow. Kumiko handed it to Echo before she followed moved over to stand next to Jacob, “Here, just in case you run into trouble. It’s a little flare I came up with. Throw it into the sky and it’ll act like a flare for us to find you. I have one too, and don’t worry about anyone else seeing it either. I made it so that only demigods like us can see it.”
Echo inspected the arrow briefly before she pocketed it with a small nod, “Sounds like a plan. Shall we? I wouldn’t mind taking a look at those antiques either.” She said with a knowing look at her brother. It was clear that Jacob and Kumiko wanted some time alone together, so they might as well give them the space that they wanted. “See you guys in an hour.”
Roxana felt a deep blush come over her face when Shard looked her way and smiled at her, surprised that he wanted to do what she had suggested. She quickly adjusted her scarf again, this time hiding almost the entirety of her face and leaving only her eyes and forehead showing, “G-great, l-let’s go.” She squeaked, voice muffled by her scarf.
“He’s just got a weird vibe about him.” Phoenix said, looking at the others as a plan was made and they started to separate. She moved to follow after Echo and Roxana, curious to see what the antique stores would have to offer. “I don’t trust him. And you shouldn’t either.” She added, looking at Kyo sharply.

Quick question: Will they be fully caught before getting anything or do yall want to actually get a few things before I bring him in? xσxσJα∂є Moonblazer Foxstar26. I do plan on having a little action, so just a heads up  ) (They’ll grab a small thing or two, but probably won’t get any weapons or swords since Blaze’ll pop in before they can just grab big stuff! So, more like a harmless amount behind their backs like kids in a candy store, if that works!) |

Just a forewarning, I will have to go to bed like now, but I will respond as soon as I'm able to. Probably around like 6:30 am. So I will be in and out until about 12:30 pm tomorrow. Then I'll be good for the rest of tomorrow and Tuesday.
Cool with me! He'll come downstairs to hang up some swords once y'all are already inside)
Although he had mentioned to Josie about working on some advancements in the Forge, Blaze never even left his cabin as he was ironing out a few bronze short swords upstairs that was needed for the upcoming Capture the Flag. Despite always telling Roxanna to not use headphones while working, he had stuck in his old wireless earbuds. Sweat slipped down his face and soaked into his light-weight shirt. He would definitely have to take a shower before seeing Josie later today. "I wish this damn sword would finally buff out," he muttered to himself.

“Won’t get far without these, shithead!” Ryder snarled at their foster father as he held up the keys to one of the cars. With a quick and rushing movement, he ushered his sisters to get into the car. They’d have to ditch it and run on foot as soon as they got close to the city, but Ryder knew a good little backwoods neighborhood to drop the car, with a gap in the fences that led towards the city. He didn’t waste any time, slipping into the driver’s seat and starting the car as quickly as he could.

Kyo watched Phoenix for a long moment as they finalized the plan for the day’s outing. As much as he wanted to gently humor about Jacob and Kumiko’s unannounced date, the genuine concern in Phoenix’s words made him take it seriously. He admitted softly. “You know I don’t trust easily. But I trust you. And if you’re sure… then I’ll be careful, and weary.” He smiled lightly then, assuringly. “Let’s enjoy our time out. I think you need a break.” Glancing once at Roxana and Shard, he whispered then to Phoenix.
“Do you think they know they’re in the same boat as Jacob and Kumiko? Ai, like television show, heh.”

Nat waved a goodbye at Kumiko and Jacob,”Have fun, see you guys soon!”she called after them. She turned to face the rest of group, following close behind Roxana, Shard, and Echo. Nat smiled a little cheekily, finding it cute how Roxana was blushing at Shard. She picked up the pace a bit to walk next to Echo,”aw…are your brother and her kinda a thing? Cause they’re pretty cute,”she commented quietly to her, lightly nudging her friend with her elbow. With her sharp senses, she caught Kyo’s comment to Phoenix about Roxana and Shard too, making her smile widen a bit more.

Jacob sighed in relief when the others seemed to get the hint he wanted alone time with Kumiko. He hesitated before gently grabbing her hand to tug her lightly in a direction. “Come on.” He said. “Let’s start over here.” He smiled sheepishly.
Shard moved to sling his arm around Roxana’s shoulders. “Alright! You lead the way.” He grinned at her. “You know what you want to see!” He noticed her blush and that only made him grin wider. He wasn’t blind, he knew Roxana had a crush on him. He liked her a lot too but always enjoyed the tease.
—
Rey hurried out the door towards the car. She flung open the door and threw her bag in the backseat. She turned to help Nova into the car quick. They needed to hurry.

Quinn nodded in agreement with the plan. “Sounds good to me.” She said before moving to slip inside the cabin and down to the forge. When she stepped into the cabin she took a quick glance around. She didn’t see anyone immediately. She then hurried to her right down the stairs into the forge.

“Annd, we’re off.” Lyra giggled, slipping into focus as she rounded the doorway with silent steps. She pressed to one of the walls to peer out and check for movement. Seeing nothing yet, she signaled silently to Quinn that all was clear.

Feet bleeding from the broken glass and roaring in pain and anger, their foster father stumbled out of the house. His yells only grew louder as he watched his prized car tear out of the driveway. Several neighbors started poking their heads out and come out of their own houses, trying to figure out what the sudden commotion was about.
Nova stumbled into the car as her brother and sister ushered her into it, her heart racing and pounding against her chest as the adrenaline rush from the escape made her whole body shake. “I… I can’t… believe we actually… did that.” She gasped, her breathing coming out in sharp gasps as she tried to curb the oncoming panic attack that seemed to be trying to surface.
—————————
Kumiko giggled as Jacob led her away, feeling a light blush form on her cheeks when he took her hand, “So, food first or shopping? What do you think?” She asked, looking up at him with a bright smile.
Echo glance back at her brother and Roxana with a humored glint in her eyes before she looked at Nat, “Something like that. Shard likes her quite a bit, but he seems to enjoy teasing her a bit too much.” She said, giving a small shake of her head at her brother’s antics. “If he’s not careful, he’ll ruin it before the relationship even starts.”
Roxana jumped lightly when Shard suddenly threw his arm around her, looking up at him with wide eyes. “O-oh, o-okay.” She said, walking in the opposite direction of Kumiko and Jacob. “I… I think I r-remember hearing a-about one down th-this way.” She said, her stammer getting worse the more flustered that she got.
Phoenix gave a satisfied nod at Kyo’s answer and followed after the others, her eyes landing on Roxana and Shard when he pointed them out. She gave a small shrug, “Who knows. Roxana’s been crushing on him forever now, but you know she’s too shy to actually do anything about it.” She said.

Kyo watched them for another moment, blinking owlishly at Roxana’s stammering words in response to Shard putting his arm on her shoulders. He hid his mouth again with his hand, trying not to give a little chime of laughter. He pretended to cough quietly instead.
“Bad luck to gossip. Some old proverb, I can’t remember…” He gave an innocent little look. “I guess bad luck comes our way then. All we do is gossip.” He eyed the resteraunts as they passed a few, translating any of the familiar signs he saw often the few times he went into the city. He hummed. “Some shops are here one day, and gone the next. It’s because the resteraunts are fronts for other businesses. They pack up, and they go, gone in one night.” He tapped his chin. “Which is sad, because they just cook it perfectly. Close to perfect. Never as perfect as back home in… mm.” He trailed off, suddenly seeming a bit withdrawn as he looked away from the resteraunts.
“This is home. Sorry.” He corrected, as though reminding himself sternly. He swiftly changed the subject. “Maybe we can find some old watches and clocks for parts?”

"We had this older lady who lived in the apartment above us who I called grandma. I was really little though, so I don't remember much else except that my mom said I cried for a week about her after we moved." Josie shook her head slightly and let out a humored chuckle. What Malcom said made her think for a moment. She didn't have a lot of blood relatives, but they'd always made a little found family for themselves whenever they moved. "I can only imagine what those Sunday dinners were like." She gave a laugh this time at the thought, then nodded before going quiet again. "Do you think you'll ever try to visit them again?"- - - -"Well look at you! Clean up real nice." Melody laughed before checking her bare wrist as if she were looking at a watch. She pursed his lips and tapped on her wrist. "Hmmm...nah, looks like you're actually 30 seconds early! So no scolding for you." She was about to walk off before pausing, looking back at her cabin. "You ever been inside before? Would you want a tour?"
Gods. A sour taste entered her mouth and Juniper had lost all of her appetite. Still, she placed a bundle of green grapes on her plate. "You really think that?" She asked quietly before clearing her throat. "I couldn't even imagine that. Traitors in camp." Except she could, but she'd never admit that out loud. It was a prank gone wrong, that's all. Still, she hated lying to her friends, especially to Tate. There was absolutely no way she would admit what she actually knew to anyone, ever. After going through the line and grabbing some juice to drink, Juniper began to lead them over to their table, but looked around. She was keeping an eye out for Nathaniel in case he happened to be around. Deep down she knew he wouldn't be.

Nat shook her head with a small half-smile on her face, watching Shard toss his arm around Roxana and watching the shy girl’s stutter become more prominent. “Poor girl,”she said sympathetically,”well, I hope for his sake that doesn’t happen. They seem sweet together,”she chuckled. Nat leaned in a little closer to whisper to Echo,”did you hear what Kyo and Pheonix were talking about,”she asked quietly, only for Echo to hear.

Nat moved to lean against the tree as well, one of her hands lightly picking at the bark on the fallen tree as she gave a small nod. “You’re right. It’s a serious thing to be suspicious of them for. But maybe we can just keep alert about those two for now…or maybe do some discreet sleuthing? It’s not above me to eavesdrop on some conversations,”she suggested, moving to pick at her nails for a moment before lifting her eyes to meet Echo’s blue eyes. —————— Jared nodded, understanding about Cat’s hesitance to get in the water. He pouted a little though at her response about Jinx, watching he affectionately pet the bird. He cleared his throat, looking right at the bird,”look…I know you don’t like me. But Cat likes me…so that must mean I’m not that bad right?”he asked the raven gently, in all seriousness, certain that the bird at least mostly understood him. xD “We both have her best intentions at heart,”he added, making his pitch to Jinx. |

If it’s okay, I can send him towards Juniper and Tatum ^.^)
Nathaniel walked leisurely towards the Dining Pavilion, having left the forest after his little meeting with Levin. The cold, angry expression that had taken over his face during the last bit of his conversation with Levin had melted away long before he had returned to the camp and was replaced by his usual mask of faux friendliness and confidence. Inwardly, Nathaniel cursed himself for letting himself be riled up when Levin had brought Juniper up, but was also glad that he was able to get the seriousness of this task across to him.
Reaching the crowded pavilion, Nathaniel scanned the crowd until he finally caught sight of the familiar form of his long term girlfriend and fixed an easy smile on his face before he walked up behind her and leaned in close to her, “There you are. I was starting to think that I wasn’t ever going to find you.” He said quietly.
—————————
Jinx gave another click of her beak again before she turned away from Jared, clearly not impressed with his words.
Cat sighed at Jinx’s obvious rejection to Jared’s offer of getting along, shaking her head at the raven’s stubbornness, “Guess you’ll just have to get used to her not liking you.” She said teasingly, giving him a small smile. “Don’t worry, I won’t let her claw your eyes out if that’s what you’re worried about.”

Jared sighed, disappointed and a little sad that he couldn’t even convince the raven to lighten up a little. He bit his lip quietly for a moment before reaching out to take Cat’s hand in his, gently lacing his fingers through hers, hoping she wouldn’t find the gesture too bold. “I can live with that I guess. As long as you still like me, I can deal with it,”he concluded, smiling softly.

Cat couldn’t help the light blush that colored her cheeks, giving him a small smile, “You’re lucky that I do like you, otherwise I would have let Jinx charge you when you threw that rock at me.” She teased, giving a small shove.

Jared chuckled shaking his head as she gave him the little shove,”lucky me, huh? Maybe you should have let her. She might be less uptight,”he joked, a small smirk making its way onto his face. He figured that if Jinx was going to be difficult anyway, he’d get some fun out of aggravating her. “By the way, you’re real cute when you blush,”he added in a softer and lower tone, facing her and using the hand not holding hers to reach up and gently touch her face, thumb brushing lightly over her cheekbone.

Cat’s face grew even redder at Jared’s word and when he touched her face, “Sh-shut up! Quit teasing me, will you?” She stammered, giving him another playful nudge. Jinx squawked loudly again when Jared decided to push his luck and snapped her beak inches away from his fingers as a final warning to the boy, glaring sharply at him.

Jared blinked in surprise at the flustered reaction before he was unable to help the grin splitting across his face,”What do you mean?? I’m not teasing, I meant it…”he said sincerely, although he dropped his hand after that, laughing softly. He ignored Jinx and her irritated glare, deciding it was completely worth the risk of his fingers getting pecked off. Jared cleared his throat quietly. “…I like you, I can’t really help it,”he admitted, a light blush rising to his cheeks too. He was grateful in that moment that she was blind and not seeing him blush. He liked his smug and cocky reputation.

“Honestly, sometimes you can just be too much, Jared.” Cat said, shaking her head at him. She started walking again, this time deciding to move away from the shoreline and more inland. Jinx huffed in agreement, still letting out several chirps in annoyance at the audacity of the boy. “You see that now? You just lost any chance of getting Jinx to warm up to you, nice going.”

Jared frowned as she moved away from him and then left out a defeated sigh. “I swear, I wasn’t even trying to do anything.”Jared grumbled softly. He scoffed at her last comment,”yeah right, like I ever had a chance at that. She’d only warm up over my dead body,”he retorted, giving an annoyed look back at the raven. He shook his head but continued walking with her more inland.

Cat paused once they had left the sandy beach and sat down to wipe off the excess sand off of her feet and started putting her shoes back on, “Well. Got any other plans for today besides walking along the beach? I think I’m done here.” She said, deciding to change the subject to something else.

I'm here lol, I knew it would be around 6:30 ) Slowly, Blaze slide the new bronze short sword across a grinder, watching the edges become sharp to the touch. Thankfully, celestial bronze did not turn demigods into dust like monsters, yet these swords were still pretty sharp. The grinding wheel spun pretty loudly, echoing off the walls upstairs. Blaze pulled the blade from the wheel, carefully inspecting the edges for any knicks or damage. Even the small crack could cause the blade to fail and break. Moonblazer Foxstar26 xσxσJα∂є |

No try about it, a whole army of monsters could try and stop me from seeing my folks, and that won’t be enough.” Malcom responded, dead serious as he cracked his knuckles. “I got a storm in me like nothing those losers could imagine. Once I’m back home again, I’m gonna do more than just looking out for monsters. I’ll keep the whole place safe too. Zap up the losers tryin to rob the pharmacy, or who broke into old ladies’ houses.” He let electricity bounce and glow between his fingers, eyes gleaming with determination. “I got this gift. It’s my responsibility to use it to keep people safe, yeah?” “Well, I tend to clean up best when I have someone waiting for me. I’m glad to be on time.” Lloyd grinned, teasing yet kind as he followed Melody into the Cabin. “Actually, no. I haven’t been in. Most injuries I get are small, and they heal faster than normal. I think it might have to do with my mother’s ability, and mine I suppose.” He pointed gently to his face. “I don’t age in the same way most do. I could stay with this face for a very long time if I wanted to… though, I hear some Hebe children can control what age they look. I’ve been looking into learning it. For now, I get clear skin without having to spend all my money on products.” He humored. “If you’re offering a Cabin tour, I’d be honored to go on it.” |
