Quinn was shaken out of her thought when Nat spoke. She looked up and over at her and smiled. “Oh yeah I’m fine.” She spoke. “Just thinking about capture the flag.”
Erin didn’t say anything else as she headed back to her cabin. She didn’t need to prove herself to Sasha. Right?
Evyn cracked a slight smile. “Are you excited for capture the flag?” He asked softly.

James sighed as he said," I know I shouldn't care as much, but I just want one of my parents to want me." He then groaned as he covered his face with his hands and said," I must sound like such a dork right now." "You don't sound like a dork. You sound like someone who's been through some tough circumstances. I could never understand that feeling...I was lucky that I had a father who was very loving. I can't tell you what your parents will think of you...but I want you to know that I think you're a great person, who has come so far from what you've been through." Evelyn admitted.

Nat chuckled, “I know you pretty well by now, and that’s not a ‘capture the flag’ look but whatever you say. I won’t push,”she said softly, “just know that you can talk to about anything that concerns you. I’m here for you,”Natasha promised, giving her half sister gentle nudge.
“Uh, sure,”Spencer agreed, but her focus was more on that of ‘Capture the Flag’ that he mentioned. “Did I hear you say ‘Capture the flag?’ “she asked him, she let out a small snort, it sounding a little ridiculous, “What is that, some kind of summer camp game?”she asked, the game not sounding dangerous to her, and Spencer not really registering the mention of armory. (Lol poor Spencer doesn’t know what’s coming)

Quinn shrugged a little as she walked along. “I guess I’m just thinking about someone.” She admitted. She didn’t want to seem suspicious about what she was actually thinking about.
Hunter laughed softly as he led her out of the cabin and towards the armory. “Yea I guess it is a camp game.” He spoke before launching into an explanation of what capture the flag at camp half-blood was. He explained the premise and how all the campers could fight and practice their skills.

James just sat there for a moment before turning away from her slightly so she couldn't see him tear up. After his dad left him at the camp he felt alone, but Evelyn helped him no longer feel that way. Then to try and play it off he said," Hey I think your chicken might be ready."

"Oh, uh. As excited as I can be! It's a little difficult though to compete with campers with magic and charmspeak and fire out of their fingers. I've got a good blade, I suppose. But a pretty face won't stop a fireball." Lloyd admitted with a hint of longing, before he shook his head. "We'll try our best, though."

Spencer paled a little, the more that he explained the game,”so...you’re saying that we’re all just fighting each other with actual weapons and even everyone’s powers are fair game?”she asked raising an eyebrow as she followed him. Maybe is wasn’t as intense as it sounded.
Nat perked up at the sound of that,”Oooh, someone huh?”she said, a mischievous sparkle making its way into her eyes. “So..this is a special someone?”she asked, fighting a smile.

Nathanial leaned closer to her, a smirk on his face, "And what rumors are those?" he asked quietly, eyeing her up. If this girl was as dark as he heard, he could use Salem to his advantage. Powers like hers would come in handy.
Echo quickly pulled ahead of everyone else, making it to the top before them. Connor not too far behind her and Kumiko was right behind Shard. "Looks like I win. Again." Echo said, catching her breath.

(Is Mathias open, Blazer? I have Jared at the cabin)
Jared was at the Ares cabin getting suited up inside for the game, and also wondering where Nathanial was and when he was going to let everyone in on what was going on. He leaned back on his bed, considering taking a nap while he waited.
Tatum was at the Aphrodite cabin, staying outside while some of her siblings were getting ready. She didn’t completely understand why they had to put make up on for a game of capture the flag but she wasn’t going to question it. However, she was going to wait until there wasn’t too much commotion before grabbing her things.

“I’ve heard you have a plan to get back at the gods themselves,” Salem bent down her hand laying in the map as she leaned closer to him a smirk on her face, “I’ve heard a great deal of darkness...though it’s not hard to detect to feel it rolling off of you. At least I can... one bathed in darkness can feel another’s intentions,” she looked at him keeping her gaze unwavering. There was nothing else she wanted more the to continue to grow her powers even if it was against the gods themselves. It was there fault in the first place. They created them out of there own selfish desires and left them. Rage boiled in her veins she would get what she wanted in the end she wasn’t afraid of the gods. Her path was already set and she would take it no matter what. If he wouldn’t help her she would find another way. There was no stopping her once she set her mind Tok it.

Shard made it to the top of the tree, looking down to see Jacob who was still about a person length behind them. Jacob scowled up at them. “Next time we do a constant it’s going to be weightlifting.” He soon caught up with them, panting.
Hunter nodded his head. “That about sums it up.” He spoke. “We aren’t allowed to kill or seriously hurt each other.” He spoke. “But accidents happen.” He spoke. He soon got to the armory. “Welcome to the armory.” He changed the subject.
“Just a stupid crush really.” Quinn looked at Nat. “I’m sure you have one too.”

Spencer just looked at him, dumbfounded by the casualness of how he said “accidents happen”. She shook her head and looked into the armory, smiling a bit more as she saw all the ranges of weapons and the armor,”wow, someone would think we’re going to war with all these weapons,”she said walking in. Spencer looked back at him,”um...what do you suggest I use?”she asked.
Natasha chuckled lightly, “it’s not stupid,”she said grinning, “and I don’t know. I don’t think I’ve been really interested in anyone in camp. Sure I’ve maybe thought about some people a couple times, and I think some of them are attractive but...I don’t think I’ve had a crush in my time here,”she said honestly. “So I’m guessing you’re not ready to reveal who it is?”she asked Quinn.

Quinn looked at her. “Well I’ll tell you who it is if you tell me who you think is attractive.” She said, trying to lighten up. She was still bummed but Nat helped take her mind off things.
“Well it’s whatever feel best to you.” Hunter spoke. “I’m a sword person.” He admitted. “But plenty of campers prefer bows and spears.” He moved forward. “Just look around and pick up a few things.” He spoke. “And we can always come back another time to practice with stuff more, just try to find something for tonight.”

Nat laughed nervously, not liking the attention being turned into her, but she figured it couldn’t hurt to tell her who she’s thought of as cute, “Well...Mathias is kinda a looker. As are most of the Ares boys. And well...Hunter,” she admitted, but quickly shook her head. “But I don’t have feelings or anything, Hunter’s cute and he’s my friend. I don’t really think of him like that. Besides I’m pretty sure he’s interested in someone else so, I wouldn’t wanna go there.”she told Quinn. “Okay your turn,”she said quickly.
“Well...”Spencer breathed before picking up a sword,”I guess this will do.”she said swinging it around a little bit. It wasn’t as heavy as she expected it to be. She moved to grab some armor that was similar to Hunter’s and took it with her before walking back over to him. “Where to next?”she asked him.

“Nathanial.” Quinn squeaked out. She blushed when she said it, looking away. Nat’s crushes were the obvious Mathias, Hunter but she really couldn’t stay away from Nathanial.
“We still have some time before capture the flag.” Hunter spoke. “I’ll take you to the training arena and show you a few basic moves with that sword.” He said, leading her to the arena which was just a few feet away. It was a large area fill with dummies for practice and targets. It Waldo had plenty of space for 1v1 fights.

Spencer sucked in a deep breath and mustered up courage and followed Hunter to the field to train.
Nat let out a laugh as Quinn squeaked out “Nathanial” before quickly composing herself and clearing her throat, “sorry, haha I’m not laughing at you.”she said quickly, a grin on her face. “But Nathanial. Wow, Nathanial’s a good one, I could see that. He’s very mysterious,”Nat said, nodding her head and doing her best to make Quinn not feel embarrassed.

Quinn nodded. “We hang out together a little.” She admitted sheepishly. “I don’t know if he likes me like that but he’s really cool and fun to be around.”
Hunter moved to an empty space. “I’m just going to show you some defensive moves. I don’t want you to get clobbered tonight.” He spoke before starting to instruct her on how to stand and hold the sword.

Spencer have a nervous laugh at the word clobbered and nodded at Hunter,”I don’t want to either,”she agreed, copying his motions and getting into the proper stance, and positioning her sword correctly. The position felt comfortable and almost natural, which was strange since she’d never held a weapon once before in her life.
Nat smiled sympathetically at Quinn, seeing how sheepish she was about it,”I didn’t know you guys hang out. That’s pretty cool. You should gauge him and maybe try hint to him eventually. You know, once you’re ready and you feel like it’s a good time,”she encouraged.

Echo laughed and looked around the area before pointing out an outcropping of rocks, "That could be a good spot, but we would have to be careful about blindspots." she said, "The other team could sneak up behind the guards and take the flag."
Connor nodded in agreement, "What about that cave? Over there." he pointed out where a small cave was, with a clearing in front of it.
"That so?" Nathanial asked, his smirk growing, "I should get better at hiding these things." he looked her over again, evaluating the pros and cons of pulling her into his plans. "And how do you feel about the gods yourself?" he asked.

Hunter smiled proudly as she seemed to catch on pretty quick. “You’re a natural.” He spoke, making a few minor adjustments to her stance. “Much better than when I first started.” He laughed.
Quinn nodded. “That sounds smart.” She spoke. “Maybe I’ll try that next time I see him.” She smiled a little. She was with him a lot to plan things so maybe she’d try to flirt with him a little.
Jacob nodded. “I think the cave would be good.” He spoke. “Can’t sneak you behind it, can only come from the front.”

"But there can be a monster living in it." Kumiko pointed out. Echo nodded in agreement, "The cave would be good, but we would have to make sure there aren't any monsters before we put our flag there. Otherwise we're holding off both a monster and the rival team." she said.

“Maybe you should don’t want your plans to be ruined now do you?” Salem smirked moving closer to him a bit apart from him now. The women in front of him holding a wicked look on her face, “They are selfish. They created us and left us to rot here. If it weren’t for our powers we wouldn’t be where we are now. If they were more attentive and taught us maybe things would be different but they left us here. Do they ever show us how to live? How to be safe. No they don’t care,” her eyes blazed slightly with a hidden anger boiling inside, “They think they can create us then look down on us when we don’t live up to there expectations?” A low growl escaped the women before staring at Nathanial. Taking in his stance, “I’m sure you feel the same way,” she smirked slightly, “You and I want the same thing it would seem,” her voice shifting slightly as she stayed close to him the dark alluring tone to her voice welcoming and spine chilling.

“How would we do that?” Lilith asked him tilting her head slightly. Biting her lip slightly frowning not sure how to do that. (Blazer?)

“Then I guess we better check.” Jacob moved to start climbing down the tree, wanting a head start on them.

"So it would seem." Nathanial said, plans forming in his head, "Maybe we should help each other out." This woman would certainly help with many of his plans.
Connor started following Jacob down the tree, quickly finding a way down with Kumiko right behind them. Echo looked over at her brother, "Shall we?" she asked, grinning at him.

“Maybe we should I see big things ahead of us if we do,” Salem nodded her head there was a smirk on her face, “I’m glad you agree with me,” she stayed close to him not moving.

Spencer smiled a bit, appreciating Hunter’s enthusiasm and confidence in her, “thanks”she told him earnestly, allowing him to position her in the correct stance. “What’s next, coach,”she said, lightening up a bit and waiting for him to instruct her.
“Okay, well you better tell me how that goes,”Nat told Quinn, winking at her. “But make sure if you see him on the field, that you take him out and don’t go easy,”she teased her, a smirk on her face.

“How would we do that?” Lilith asked him tilting her head slightly. Biting her lip slightly frowning not sure how to do that. (Blazer?) "It might be possible to gain some influence and reconnaissance if we communicate with the undead. Perhaps some extra eyes and ears?" Valen offered, willing to give it a try if Lilith was willing.
