“Oh. That’s beautiful.” Kyo complimented the ring as Phoenix held it out to him. It wasn’t anything new that Kyo enjoyed shiny things, so it was easy to admire the ring. He smiled. “It fits you perfectly. I think you should get it.” He held the stained glass pieces in his hands and admitted. “I really hope they don’t break in the bag when I bring these home.”

Mathias snorted, brow lifting as he leaned lazily against one of the trees. His voice was graveled, though it was clear he was curious. “So, I could be myself, or a chicken? Delicious either way, right?” He teased, before he shook his head and grew serious again. “Jokes aside, that’s got to be pretty amazing. Learning magic, like you Hectate kids do. You can tell me to piss off if you want, but what spell are you trying to learn out here?”
A part of him wanted to see her process, if only to gawk at the kind of thing he had loved to hear about as a child. People with magic, djinns and lector priests of ancient Egypt. Though this, this was no folklore, or vengeful spirit, or story carved into stone.
Obsidian had real magic. The kind that Mathias would have no trouble watching, if she allowed him.

Flamestar96 Foxstar26 xσxσJα∂є ))) Lyra’s eyes widened with shock and fury as she was able to see the moment that Blaze had electrocuted Christian. Before she could reach for the dagger on her belt and lunge at the boy, Quinn had finally let loose the smoke bomb. Lyra covered her mouth, shoving through the smoke and ripping furiously at where Blaze’s arm had been, shoving him blindly away from her twin. She frantically felt around through the smoke and grabbed hold of Christian’s arms. She whispered with worry and anger. “It’s okay! I’ve got you, you’re good! I’m getting you out of here, yeah?” She grit her teeth, pulling her brother as quickly as she could towards the back door. She knew Quinn was already likely out of there, and she vowed inwardly that Blaze would now be at the top of the list if Nathanial wanted to attack the Camp again. And she’d take these two damn necklaces with her too!

Christian gasped in pain letting out a strangled cry as he stumbled forward towards his sister, phasing back into himself almost immediately. He barely registered Quinn’s smoke bomb going off and felt Lyra grabbing him, jaw clenched as it took everything in him to move after them, sluggish and clumsily getting out of there with surprising speed for someone who just got electrocuted. Of course, he was sure it would be much harder without his arm around his twin. “Where are we going?”he asked through gritted teeth, wondering if they could just hide in the Hermes cabin for now because it was nearer. |

Nat glanced at Echo before nodding towards the twin mirror the old women presented to them, walking up to look at it next to Echo. “It really is beautiful.”she mused looking back at Echo. Nat’s senses were definitely alerting her though, next to this old woman. It was not necessarily in a bad way but in a way that told her something was a bit curious and unusual about the woman and this place. She shook it off though, smiling kindly at the woman and glancing around the room. Soon, her eyes landed on what looked like a stone ring, but it was attached to a thin golden chain. The ring itself was a little bit jagged and rough, looking more raw on the outer rim, made fully out of a black and orangish-red stone, but the inner rim was smoothed out to form a perfect circle with the circle being about an inch in diameter. She picked it up, deciding to hold on to it, taking a strange liking to the little object. |

Hopefully, nobody in camp would think anything of smoke coming from the Hephaestus cabin. That was typically common for this cabin, if anything. Lyra looked around quickly, focusing all her energy on guiding Christian towards the back of the Hermes Cabin, ducking low behind it and securing a temporary hiding spot. She released a long breath before she hissed. “I’d set that whole damn Cabin on fire if it wasn’t fire-proof! Are you okay? Can you breathe fine, can you move your body?” Lyra fretted over her twin, not having expected Blaze to even have an electrical device. Had she known, she would have abandoned the whole plan and stolen from another Cabin. |

“I’ll keep that in mind for sure then! I love being out on the water. Getting to lay out under the sun is probably one of my things to do.” Melody admitted, letting out a dreamy sigh. She wasn’t the best at rowing, so it wasn’t often that she’d take a canoe out on her own. Now that she knew Lloyd had some sailing experience then she’ll absolutely use that information to her advantage. Then Melody let out another laugh, shaking her head slightly. “No, Lloyd, you don’t understand. Even now I have no body rhythm whatsoever. The only time I ever look graceful is with either a bow, or instrument in my hand. To this day I’m pretty I’m the worst dancer that’s ever been at the Apollo camp.” She continued to laugh as she talked, finding her own predicament hilarious. Melody said with her legs crossed again, resting her elbow on her knee and then her chin in the palm of her hand as she listened to Lloyd, trying to imagine what Greece was like. She smiled thoughtfully and leaned back finally. “Your dad sounds like a really great guy, Lloyd. Maybe I’ll be lucky enough to meet him one day.” She glanced around the empty infirmary then briefly checked the time. “Do you still have family in Greece?”
Juniper watched as he swung his sword and she started to do the same, feeling out the weight of the blade in her hand and warming up her wrists. When Nathaniel began to strike she was ready, the sound of their swords clashing ringing in her ears. Even if he was holding back, she could still feel the power and strength of his sword as it came down on hers. As they stood with their swords clanging together, faces close together, Juniper raised a brow at his smirk. She rolled out of the way so his sword would have to fall where she had just been standing, then quickly stood and pointed her sword at him. “A bit of a challenge? What did you have in mind, lover?”
“Oh shit!” Everything happened so fast. First Christian started to spasm at Blaze’s side, falling into his sisters arms just as a smoke bomb suddenly went off. Josie coughed and squinted into the haze, as if that was going to help her see better. She could hear scuffling feet, hurrying to get out of the cabin and the chaos. Blindly reaching her arms out, Josie stepped forward to where she last saw her boyfriend standing. “Blaze?” She called out, her voice hoarse as she let out another coughing fit.

Although he wanted to get to Josie as quick as possible, Blaze's eyes had never left the direction Lyra had pulled Christian away. Despite all the smoke, he just grinned ear to ear before giving way to a few coughs. Truly, what did they think was going to happen when stealing from the cabin that made most of the technology at camp? Finally, he moved toward the sound of Josie calling out to him between coughs. He caught her hand and pulled her lower to the ground to finally get some type of air as the smoke rose toward the top of the cabin. "Are you... okay?" Blaze asked between a few coughs.

Lloyd offered Melody a sympathetic and humored look. “Well, some things we’re great at. Others, not so much. Who says dancing is the only thing that can make you a happy and complete individual? Not me, I say.” He grinned, before tapping his fingers against the arm of the chair.
“I’d be happy to let everyone meet my dad if he could come here. He really loved my mom. I like to think she loved him the same… even if a Goddess can’t stay with a mortal. But he knew about this Camp, she told him everything he needed to know. And back then, he talked about how special it was, to go to a place with kids just like me. That they all must be wonderful. He’s gentle, like that.” He looked at Melody. “I have an aunt and uncle, and cousins in Greece. Lots of family, and of course now, siblings here in camp, the few of us Hebe kids.”

Josie was grateful to be pulled down to more fresher air, shifting closer to Blaze and gripping the front of his shirt tight, as if she were going to be float away with the smoke if she weren't anchored to him. She coughed a few more times, wiping her eyes as they itched from the haze. "Yeah, fine." She answered quickly, trying to gulp in as much clean air as she could. "Was that..." she paused, again trying to wrap her brain around what had just happened. "Was that Christian disguised as me?"
"Well if you say so, then I guess it must be true." She teased, giving a goofy little grin, her gaze immediately flickering to watch his fingers tap against the arm chair. They were surprisingly on beat with the music, even if he hadn't meant them to be. Then the topic turned to not just his dad, but his mom. For some reason any of their godly parents loving their mortal parent felt like a foreign concept to her. If she thought about it now she figured it was possible that out of all the demigod children born, there had to be a doomed love match between some of their parents. Unfortunately, Apollo was known for being a passionate, yet fleeting lover. If he had been around when she was little, she was too young to remember. Melody's smile softened. "The few of you." She echoed him, tilting her head. "What do you plan on doing after camp? Maybe become a model with that whole eternal youth thing going on? Or follow in your fathers footsteps? Study some marine biology." |

“I want to be a conservationist. Park ranger, environmental teacher, all that kind of stuff. For the National Parks, and landmarks.” Lloyd answered instantly, already knowing what he wanted. He blushed ever so slightly at her first suggestion, her teasing clear. “I’d be so awkward if I was a model. The posing would be a nightmare.”
He looked at Melody, watching her as he asked. “What about you? Do you fancy being a musician, or possibly going into medical school? What’s your post-Camp dream, Melody?”

"Wowie, quick answer." Melody was impressed though, it was refreshing that someone knew exactly what they wanted to do after camp. Then she sat up a bit straighter, giggling. "You can't be that awkward. We could practice right now! No one's around anyways, with the cots all laid out like they are it's kinda like a runway anyways. C'mon, strut your stuff." She gestured to the empty room, wondering if Lloyd would actually play along. When the question was turned on her, she hesitated. Melody had never really given it much thought before, unsure why she hadn't. Laying her head back, she pursed her lips and took a moment to think. "I think I'd like to go to music school, perform at all the big concert halls. Or become a music teacher. Either or."

Lloyd covered his face with his hands as he shook his head. “Oh gods, no, you really don’t want to see me strut… uh, anything.” He quickly shook away the fluster, focusing back on her dream. He offered a bright smile. “You should totally go for it. I can already tell you’d be a natural on stage. You’ve got the kind of confidence and energy that people would love from a musician.”

"Cabin activate smoke filters!" Blaze hollered up toward the ceiling. Suddenly, the wisps of smoke pulled toward metal boxes three of the four walls. Blaze watched as the room began to become clear once again and he could finally get a good breath of oxygen in his lungs. "After all the fires, you'd think we would make that easier to activate," Blaze said with a small laugh. He turned his head toward the staircase to see if any of the campers had still been there, but they appeared to have taken off. "They're gonna regret every moment they spent in this cabin," he growled with a scowl across his face.

Foxstar26)) Sasha swung her sword back into her hip sheathe, planning to get it fixed up after the spar she had with Jared. The thrum of victory sang in her veins, and it made her mood better than usual. She flipped her hair over her shoulder, huffing out the last of her energy before she stretched her arms and left the training grounds. Her sharp eyes searched for Erin amongst the Camp, hoping to have another spat with her if she was lucky. Gods, did she love riling her up. Erin was a vision when she was pouting, pretty and everything Sasha liked. The rivalry was exciting, even if Sasha wanted nothing more than to kiss the girl. But, such things were hand in hand, desire and disdain, if one really thought about it.

Quinn had made a break for it as soon as the smoke filled the room. She figured Lyra would go for Christian but that wasn't her concern. She ducked up the stairs and slipped from the cabin. She took a breath, coughing lightly before hurrying into her own cabin. She turned and kept the door open long enough for Lyra and Christian to duck inside after before she locked the door behind them. She panted, throwing her bag onto her bed. "I thought they were all out." She grumbled.
Erin decided it was time for some training. She yawned slightly before making her way down to the ring. She didn't notice Sasha at first, she tried to make sure she didnt notice her. She couldn't ever let Sasha know how much she thought about the other girl.

She moved Christian as carefully as possible, looking surprisingly cowed as she ducked her head to the other woman. “I’m sorry, Quinn. I didn’t expect Blaze to be moseying around in the dark. You really saved our skins back there. I owe you one.” She promised. Sasha grinned at her luck as she saw Erin coming towards the training ring. She leaned against it as she called out to the other girl. “You missed some good training. I almost made a boy cry, an Ares boy nonetheless. I was just about to leave, but I’ve suddenly got a second wind now that you’re here.” She smirked, resting her elbows on the ring as she lazily leaned forwards to eye Erin. |

Christian slumped onto someone’s bunk, taking a moment to regain his steadiness, waiting for some of that dizziness to pass,”yes, thank you Quinn. We definitely owe you. I can’t believe that damn Sparkles tased me! It felt like a freaking lightning bolt,”he hissed, a deadly dark look in his eyes. He grunted placing his head in his hands for a moment, rubbing his eyes, head still hurting from the shock. “Did you guys get anything interesting at least?”he mumbled into his hands.

One had a beautiful rose gold color, with a delicate chain and an opal stone that glittered in rainbow color. The second one had a chain of dark metal with a pendant of carved obsidian. She admitted. “The detail was just too nice to pass up, but I made sure to grab ones at the bottom of the pile. I doubt they’ll be missed, there was much prettier stuff ungrabbed anyway.” She muttered, before seething. “I should wear one right now just to piss them off.” |

I can have Lyra give the necklace to Nathanial once she realizes that it’s a Hades trinket/relic that belongs to Valen. For the opal one, maybe it can belong to an Apollo kid, or could be one Blaze was trying to make for Josie! I think we were thinking of doing a Cabin Prank War, so maybe this can start it, since it’s not something that’s really more than some swiping, so maybe campers start fiddling with eachother’s cabins as pranks starting with this incident) |

Nova sighed in relief when the idea of hair cutting was quickly tossed out of the window, glad that she wouldn't have to sport a choppy hair style for the sake of hiding from the authorities. She leaned against Rey again, the adrenaline rush slowly starting to fade away and now she was starting feel exhaustion from the long day starting to sink in. Fighting back a yawn, she looked back at Ryder, "How far will we have to walk? And where are we going to sleep tonight?" She asked. ------------- "Oh, you are so on! How much are you wanting to lose, cause I already know that I'll win this one." Kumiko laughed, ready to make an easy win. She couldn't help the smile on her face, glad that they had been able to get some time together for once. "This is fun, we should do this more often, you know?" Roxana blushed again before she quickly started to browse among the many things in the store, feeling a bit more at ease now that her attention was on something else. Walking slowly down the aisle, she ran her fingers over a couple of things that caught her attention before stopping in front of a large box filled with old skeleton keys. Roxana pulled the box closer and started going through it, liking the way most of them looked and was just wondering if there was a way for her to find some kind of use for them. Echo nudged Nat lightly and gave a small jerk of her head, "Let's go over there, I thought I saw some stuff that looked interesting." She said, glancing back at her brother and Roxana briefly before she started walking away. Echo shook her head lightly, wondering when her brother would get his act together and just ask the girl out already. "They just need a little push in the right direction." Phoenix said with a sigh, looking around at the shelves. Nothing seemed to be interesting enough for her to grab or buy just yet, so she kept walking. "Maybe getting them to spend a little alone time together is that push." For Foxstar26, my last post for Roxana and Kumiko ^.^) |

Nathaniel adjusted his stance after Juniper dodged his last attack, "Let's see who can disarm the other first, what do you think?" He said, slowly circling around her as he looked for the next opening for him to strike. Nathaniel came to a stop and gave another slash of his sword, aiming for her left side. "Whoever wins can choose their prize." He added with a charming grin. ------------------------------------------- At the old woman's insistence, Echo finally took the wooden case and put the other mirror handle in with the other, "Um, thank you, but... who are you?" She asked, not wanting to let her guard down completely around the strange woman. Although she had appeared seemingly out of nowhere, and had a strange feel to her, Echo could sense that the old woman didn't mean them any harm. Echo looked down at the wooden case, feeling like the mirrors were meant to be with her. "Hm. You can call me Isadora." Said the old woman, her attention turning to Nat when she saw the other girl inspecting the stone in her hand. "Ah, I see you've found the Seeing Stone. A useful object to keep on hand, and that one is a very special stone as well." She said. xσxσJα∂є--------------------------------------------
"I'm sure that they'll offer to wrap it up in something so that it won't break." Phoenix said, deciding to keep the ring and moving off to see if she could find anything else that caught her interest. "It would make sense that they would, seeing as there are tons of stuff in here that looks like they can be broken pretty easily."

"I'm reading about force fields." Obsidian said, lifting her hand with the palm facing up. Focusing her energy, Obsidian summoned a translucent violet, glowing sphere in her hand. It grew a bit more before it finally stopped and sputtered out, "It's meant to be a protective spell mostly, but it can also be used to cause a bit of damage if I wanted it to." |

“That’s true.” Kyo nodded, glancing around at all the damaged yet kovely items. If anything, it was better because it was more to fix and tinker with. He spoke again. “I think I just need to find an old clock or watch or two and that’ll be it for me. You can use alot of those parts for your project, the mechanisms.” He offered kindly to his sister.

“Incredible!” Mathias breathed, instantly fixated on the magic in her palm. He walked closer, crouching down a few feet from her and tilting his head as though investigating it. He smiled, a far difference from his usual lazy smirk or gruff scowl. This smile was genuine, full of bafflement. “You can make that, just like that. What does it feel like? Can you feel it in your hand?” He chattered, before clearing his throat and catching himself. “Mm. Sorry. Asking too much at one time.”
