𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢)) Lloyd flushed ever so slightly, though it was clear he was humored by Melody's request. Even so, he opened his eyes and took in her information on the song with a thoughtful hum. He didn't expect winter to be her favorite, though it just made her all the more interesting. "Late spring is my favorite. When all the flowers and plants bloom. Summer would be nice if it wasn't for all the bugs. Now, those can be bothersome for my skin, for the few minutes they leave marks on it from bites." He chuckled, before he realized he had rambled again. He sat up again, offering. "Is there anything you'd like me to write or count? I wouldn't want you to do everything while I sat here all lazy." --- Flamestar96 LMAOOO If Jade's cool with it, I bet you could totally still go for it right as the smoke starts. And Lyra can drag her brother outta there while the jitters still have him. All the chaos we need, lmao)) --- Icefire15)) Kyo watched Phoenix inspect the dagger, his own eyes following the blade in the same way a cat watched a feather toy. That dagger would look beautiful if it was fixed up. Shaking the distraction away, he nodded sympathetically. "Honestly, I can't see you fawning over anyone like the rest of us... it just never seemed like you." He tucked some of his hair behind his ears when it fell out of his hair-tie. Fixing it up back into place, his eyes caught immediately on a beautiful stained glass piece of a bird. He reached for it, noticing that a few pieces of glass were missing. Eyes brightening, he pulled it close. "I'll fix it. I'll make it look perfect. Have you used your fire yet for glass making? It's surprisingly nice."

(it'd be kinda funny if both happened. he tases Christian the same time a smoke bomb goes off and it's just chaos for a couple minutes) Yes I’m down for that. It would piss Lyra off too, and Christian or Quinn would have to grab her to stop her from lopping his arm off lolll) |

"I said that I wouldn't go easy on you, not that I wasn't going to hold back." Nathaniel said with a laugh, giving her a light kiss on the forehead. "Don't worry, I'll hold back just enough to make it a little bit difficult for you." He slowed as they got closer to the arena, glancing down at her with the same look he had always given her. Nathaniel wasn't sure what his feelings for Juniper were anymore, but he knew that staying in this relationship was the best way to keep suspicion off of him while he put his many plans into motion.

"Then we should keep an eye on him. Just in case." Echo said, picking up a beautifully made antique silver mirror handle. She turned it over and frowned when she saw that the mirror was missing, most likely having been broken long ago. Giving a small shake of her head, she set it back down. "That's a shame." She murmured mostly to herself.
"Yeah, I'm not the fawning type." Phoenix said, pretending to gag at the idea. She continued to browse as she spoke, wanting to find more than just the dagger to take back with her. "Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind finding someone to be in a relationship with. I just hope they don't expect me to be all kissy and lovey dovey with them." She added, looking back to see what Kyo had found and shook her head. "No, not yet. I've been more focused on machinery lately."

She realized as he began talking that he was talking about the actual seasons while she had been talking about the music, as each song was named after a season. Melody smiled and pursed her lips, refraining from correcting him. It was still true, however, that her favorite of Vivaldi's seasons was also her favorite time of year. While she loved the summer and the familiarity of the sun, she thought winter was the most beautiful. Growing up in California she didn't get to experience a lot of snow, so she always got excited when the magical borders actually let snow pass through during wintertime at camp. "It's funny because all of my favorite weather rarely seems to happen at camp. I love the snow, and the rain. Especially when it rains during the spring, it always makes the sky smell so fresh." Melody shook his head at his offer to help. "Eh, it's my job anyways. Plus just having you in the room is nice, helps me stay focused." She moved about the room again, now going through their herb stock. "You could tell me a fun fact about yourself, though. If you wanted to."
Juniper couldn't help but melt a little when he pressed that little kiss to her forehead, and especially when she glanced up at him and saw the way he was looking at her. Maybe she had just gotten so nervous lately because they weren't able to spend as much time as usual together. Yeah, that had to be it. Nathaniel was just busy being his cabin's counselor, and now that the Ares kids were on their side for capture the flag she's sure he'll be busy in strategy meetings soon. "I guess I can handle that." She responded with a small smile, giving his lower back a rub as they finally arrived at the arena. "You better not aim for my face, though, because there's no way in hell I'm going to be putting on a helmet."
After stalling for as long as she could, Josie finally got to the Hephaestus cabin, knocking on the door as she stepped inside. "Hello?" She called out, a little surprised that it seemed to be completely empty. She frowned and figured that maybe he was downstairs. Stepping over a few small piles of junk, Josie walked towards the circular staircase and descending it into the basement. When she reached the bottom she was shocked to see herself standing there with Blaze's arm allegedly around her own waist. Except it wasn't her because she was standing right there. Then she turned to see Quinn, and Lyra with her hands up and putting a necklace on the counter. "Uhh... am I interrupting something?" She asked, blinking several times as she hid the little bouquet of flowers she picked behind her back. |

Nat nodded softly in agreement, looking at the beautiful hand-held mirror that Echo picked up. She moved to pick it up as well, frowning a little as she looked at it and back at Echo, knowing that unlike most of her Aphrodite siblings, Echo wasn’t too concerned with possessions. Looking back at the mirror, she moved after Echo and held it out to her. “I think you should take it. There’s nothing like it, it’s beautiful. I’m sure someone can get it fixed for you?”she suggested softly.

I've been more focused on machinery lately." "Afraid of kissing?" Kyo teased in a rare show of courage, even as his eyes glinted innocently and a little smile crossed his face. He held the stained glass he found close to him as he tried to imagine Phoenix being affectionate and romantic. He grimaced at the thought, unable to envision it at all. He nodded quickly. "When the glass doesn't burn you, like it won't for you and me, it's almost like... uhm..." He hesitated, before finding the word he was looking for in his head. "Slime. Easy to mold and shape, kind of messy if you're not careful. It's just harder to find the minerals that make the colors in the glass." He admitted. "Machines? What kinds are you working on?" |

Lloyd seemed to hesitate a bit at Melody's request, gently fiddling with his shirt as he admitted. "Well... I usually prefer you'd tell me more about you, but if you're asking, I won't be rude and say no. But, only if you say something about you afterwards." He offered, before smiling normally once more and accepting her request. "Compared to other campers, I know I must be mighty plain. I don't have elemental powers, or luck, or anything like that. But, I do know how to sail. If you put me on the water, I can take you out on a boat no matter the kind. I sailed in Greece alot when I was little." He admitted, recalling how much he enjoyed it. Even now, he loved going out on the canoes on the lake. --- "Oh, yeah. That's a wrap if I've ever seen one, babes." Lyra sighed dramatically as soon as the real Josie showed up. Because god-damned of course she would. Lyra suddenly lifted her voice, shouting at Quinn and Christian. "Drop em' and scatter! Screw it, abort, whatever, smoke it up and book it!" 𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢 Foxstar26 xσxσJα∂є ) |

Christian froze at the sound of Josie’s voice behind him, turning his head to look at her, deer in the headlights look on his face. xD “Oh my god! Who are you and why do you look like me?”he gasped, in a last ditch effort to keep his cover. But then Lyra shouted to scatter, and with one last look at Blaze, he started to lunge away to escape. (Poor Christian gunna get zapped lol)

When she didn't hear anything from him at first, Melody turned to see that he looked to be contemplating for a moment. "Uh uh, you don't get to be all mysterious guy on me. Just share whatever you feel comfortable telling me. It's not fair if you get to know all about me but I barely get to know anything about you. Except that you like late spring." She pointed out, but also wouldn't push for him to tell her his whole life story. She eventually made her way back over to the chairs and sat down again, setting the clipboard aside. It was nice to listen to Lloyd talk, and she smiled warmly when he mentioned his love for sailing. "You're not plain. Plain makes you sound like you're boring, and you're definitely not boring." She reached out and gave his shoulder a light tap with her fist. "We should take the canoes out sometime. Maybe I'll even play something for you, badly of course. Because I'm such an awful musician." Then she figured it was her turn to fulfill her end of the bargain. "I used to take ballet lessons when I was little but ended up quitting because I'm actually, genuinely, such an awful dancer." She laughed a little as she spoke, then asked, "what was growing up in Greece like? You moved to the states when you were young, right?" |

"Of course not, I would never hurt you." Nathaniel said, brushing her cheek lightly before he pulled away and pulled out his switchblade. He took a few steps back before he flipped it open and it quickly grew into his celestial bronze sword, "So, you ready then? We can start slow so that you can get warmed up a bit." He offered, giving a few experimental swings before he looked back at Juniper with a grin.
----------------
Echo blinked in surprise when Nat held the broken mirror out to her, "Oh, I don't know. It's pretty and all, but I'm not exactly sure if it would be much use for me." She said, taking it from Nat and inspecting it again. It was pretty, and it felt right in her hand when she held it. "It kinda seems a bit... cliché, don't you think?" Echo asked, flipping it over to look at the empty space where the mirror was supposed to be.
"It does have a twin if you're looking for a set." Said an elderly voice behind the two girls suddenly, causing Echo to jump in surprise and almost drop the handheld mirror. She fumbled with it briefly before she got a good grip on it and hugged it to her chest. Echo blinked wide eyes at the source of the voice, a small elderly, grey-haired woman wearing a black dress and grey shawl over her shoulders. "You'll have to forgive the missing mirror. It's previous owners weren't as careful or kind to it before it made its way here." She continued, shuffling past the two girls and searching the shelves for the second mirror.
-----------------
Phoenix shrugged, looking around at some gears and parts, "Kind of like those automatons that Dad's built. I've been making some smaller ones, but I'm not entirely sure what I should do with them." She said.

Nat jerked in surprise at the old lady who appeared behind them, seemingly out of thin air. Her gaze fell over the old lady as she took in her small stature and the black dress she wore with the grey shawl. She watched her curiously as she moved around the shelves, finding her strangely intriguing. Nat glanced towards Echo mouthing,”that scared me,”with slightly widened eyes. Her attention moved back towards the shelf again for a moment, still very conscious of the old lady being there. “This is a lovely store you have ma’am,”Nat cleared her throat, speaking politely to the elderly lady and offering a soft smile as she picked up another item inspecting it curiously.

She laughed a little as she spoke, then asked, "what was growing up in Greece like? You moved to the states when you were young, right?"Lloyd laughed at her statement, feeling more at ease at her assurance. He inwardly wondered if she knew that she was far more interesting than he was, and that he was perfectly fine with that. Even so, he admitted. “No mysteries about me, I’m afraid. I’m as open as a book.” He seemed to brighten a bit at her request. “I’d be happy to go out on the canoes with you. Anytime I’m out and about, just wave me over and I’ll be ready to go. Or, just knock on the Hebe cabin, I’m sure I’ll be the one answering.” He humored. He eyed Melody and smiled. “A dancer? If it makes you feel any better, I’m not a good dancer either. But, you were young, so you can’t blame yourself. Dancing is a hard skill to learn.” He then blinked thoughtfully. “Yes. I spent my childhood in Greece. But we moved to Florida when my dad got a job there. He’s a Marine Biologist, and now he gets to go on some of the coolest research expeditions I can think of. And it was great there too. Sunny, but rainy just as much. The waters were beautiful.” |

If Kronos had been a good guy, he was on was Blaze's side in this moment. Josie's appearance at the top of the spiral staircase made him smil awhile he held onto the fake Josie. "That's... my.. girlfriend!" Blaze chuckled, his grip tightening. Quickly, he shoved the conductor against Christian and pressed the button, sending electricity all through his body. As soon as he touched the button, he let go to avoid being shocked too. He turned his sights on Lyra and Quinn, only to find them trying to scrabble away.

Icefire15)) Kyo listened to Phoenix as he scanned his eyes over a new shelf, blinking owlishly at all the stained glass he saw. Most were rimmed with copper or silver, yet they seemed to just be missing pieces of the glass. Oddly, the other glass wasn’t broken. It was as if pieces had just been popped out. Even so, he began piling them in his hands, grateful that he had brought his small leather shoulder bag with him on this trip. He blinked, before offering. “Maybe an animal? See if you can get the machinery to imitate an animal’s movement. Like a little robot frog.” He smiled, before he heard a new voice in the store. He realized. “Oh. Is that the shop owner?”

“Sounds like Evelyn. She’s got the heart of an Italian grandmother, you better eat your food and ask for seconds too.” Rosaline giggled, before she easily guided James through the store. She inspected the clothes for a moment before she gasped with delight and reached for what she was looking for. She held out the dress with one hand and spoke. “Feel this fabric. It’s divine, I swear. Tell me that isn’t just heaven on your skin?” She invited, making sure it was close enough that he could just reach forwards a bit to be able to touch it. Chuckling at Rosaline's fawning over the cloths, James said, "Don't know about the whole 'divine' thing, but glad to know you like it." Growing curious, he reached out and touched the fabric. He had to admit, it didn't feel bad. It felt smooth, like his fingers could slide off of it. All in all, this was a decent piece of clothing he thought. "So, ya gonna get it or what? Our do you need more time," he questioned growing antsy. |

Obsidian felt a tick of annoyance at the sudden interruption of Mathias' angry tone and looked up from her book briefly as he walked past, only stop his apparent ranting to stop and look at her when he finally noticed her sitting there. "Not a chance." She said bluntly, looking back down at her book with a roll of her eyes and trying to find the spot that she had been at. "I don't know what exactly you were saying, but something tells me it wasn't the nice things that you want me to believe they were." Mathias snorted once at her words, waving his hand lazily as he spoke. “No need to worry about them then. I do feel bad, I didn’t see you sitting there. I would have had more tact.” He apologized, before he found himself eyeing her book with a hint of curiosity. “Magic, right? Whatever spell I interrupted you on, how about I let you use it on me to make up for my intrusion?” He hummed, the faintest of glimmers of mirth in his eyes showcasing that he was half-teasing. If anything, the distraction of Obsidian’s powers would be nice right about now. . (For Ice!) |

Nathaniel grinned as he waited for Juniper to finish getting ready before he gave a quick slash of his sword, starting to move through the movements of some of the training regiments he applied when he helped his half-siblings train. True to his promise, Nathaniel made sure to hold back in his strikes and started slow to allow Juniper to get warmed up. "How about we make this a bit of a challenge?" He said suddenly, a light smirk forming on his face. 𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢---------------------------------------------------------------- Echo looked at Nat as the old woman continued talking, ignoring the fact that she had just startled the two girls by appearing out of nowhere. "Um, hi, sorry. We're mostly just browsing." She said, watching the woman shuffled by and start going through the shelves of odds and ends. "Don't apologize, dear. Guests are always welcome in my shop here, whether they are just passing by or visiting for a little while." The old woman said, waving a dismissive hand as she pulled out a rectangular, wooden case and opened it. Inside was another mirror, this one with the looking glass still intact. "Here we are. I do have a replacement mirror for that one there, I just lack the skills to fix it myself unfortunately." She continued, holding the open case out to Echo. --------------------------------------------------------------- Phoenix looked up, but didn't see anyone else besides hearing the quiet murmur of their friends voices talking with the new one. "Might be. Or another customer. I'm sure we'll find out when we get back up there." She said, picking up a black armor knuckle ring with red accents and looked at it curiously, feeling drawn to it somehow. Phoenix ran her finger over the design, looking at the two gemstones that were set into the largest piece of the ring. She slid it onto her middle finger, surprised to see that it fit perfectly. "That's cool. I think this one is definitely a keeper." Phoenix said, holding it up for Kyo to see. Obsidian peeked up from her book with an arched eyebrow, "Not unless you want to get yourself turned into a chicken." She said, flipping the page. "I haven't tried most of these spells out yet, something could go wrong and I'm not in the mood to try and figure out how to turn you back if that does happen." Obsidian said with a sigh. |

Quinn had just opened her mouth to say something when the real Josie appeared at the top of the stairs. She watched as Blaze shove an electricity device into Christian. In that moment she pulled out a small smoke bomb and threw it onto the ground. Suddenly smoke filled the forge.
