(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. Mathias pushed the cabin door open with a grunt, his voice as sturdy as usual as he asked. "Has anyone seen Nathanial? I hate to be that bastard, but I'm starting to think that we'll be pulling a plan out of our asses at this point." He sighed. Nathanial knew how to handle communicating with others in ways that Mathias had lost the ability to years ago. It was easier to get the fight secured on his own, to not depend on anyone else. Hence his relief that he wouldn't have to be leading this whole event. He could fight as needed without having to formulate a plan that was inclusive of everyone. If only Nathanial would make some sort of update, then his mood would improve greatly. He noticed Jared laying in his bed, scoffing at his younger half-brother. "Tired out already?"

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." "As much as I want to tell you not to deflect the subject...you are absolutely right." Evelyn realized, moving quickly to remove the chicken from the oven before covering it with foil to keep it hot. She then quickly took the bowl of rice and poured it into one of the pots, covering it after a few moments. Turning back to James, she sighed lightly. "Needless to say, this is a part of your life that you need to decide truly what will make you happiest. That's all I want for you, Jay, and for everyone else here. To be happy."

James rubbed the back of his head and said," Well I am happy when I get to hang out with you." He then smelled the chicken and with a smirk said," Besides I don't know how I will get by without your cooking."

“We’re gonna try some blocking.” Hunter spoke, making his sword appear in his hand. He moved to slowly put his sword in front of her. “You’ll want to block with the flat part of the blade.” He instructed.
Quinn laughed softly. “I was planning on it.” SHe smiled. “I can’t go easy on him just cause he’s cute.”
Shard nodded and led the way towards the cave.

He then smelled the chicken and with a smirk said," Besides I don't know how I will get by without your cooking." "Oh, believe me when I say that my cooking is child's play compared to the chefs in New York. Everything I make, my father could make faster, and better. That doesn't even consider the neighbors! Gods, the Thai restaurant across the street? I could kiss all their chefs, it's top notch." Evelyn sighed fondly at the thought of her favorite restaurants. "I'm happy to hang out with you too, Jay."

James smirked wickedly and said,” I wouldn’t do that sis, because if you did then Drake might not wanna go out with you.”

Jared raised a eyebrow at Mathias. He was immune to Mathias moods and jibes, being fairly accustomed to Mathias’ aggression. “Uh...no. I’m bored, and waiting for Nathan. What’s wrong with you?”she asked his half-brother casually.
“Exactly, can’t let them get in our heads,”Nat agreed grinning. She was grateful that she didn’t really have distractions, especially when it came to competition. She had no problem smacking a pretty boy over the head with her bow or pinning them to a tree with an arrow. Maybe even taking off a couple inches of hair with daggers.

Evelyn whispered, moving to swat lightly at James' arms. Her cheeks flushed lightly as she spoke. "I didn't mean it literally, of course! They're totally out of the picture." She looked around as if Drake was somehow still inside, listening to her. She sighed softly and gave a laugh. "Oh, I'm such a mess, aren't I?"

Spencer nodded at him lifting her sword so the flat edge of her sword met his sharp end as it came down on her. She tensed up, preparing to take more hits that she had to block.

James laughed as he pulled back his arm when she smacked it and said,” oh calm down sis he is no where near us.” He then smirked and said,” As for being a mess, well you are a Demi so that is to be expected.”

"If I know anything about kids of Athena, they'll be doing advanced level Calculus to devise some plan in which direction and at which angle they'll hide their flags. Next thing you know, you'll get your ass lit on fire because they planted one of their Hephaestus kids in a tree." Mathias snarked with a light rumble. He ran his hand through his hair with a sigh. "I'm not allowed to maim anyone either, so that's out of the picture. I'm only wondering if Nathanial has finished coming up with something. So long as I can just fight someone, the flags can be tossed back and forth between whatever groups you all devise." He sat down on the side of his own bed, tossing his eyes lightly and cursing in Arabic. He spoke again. "Team exercises. My favorite." The sarcasm was clear, though his voice was gruff.

Jared chuckled, “True, Athena kids are nuts. But we do have Hades and Zeus on our side, as well as Artemis so, we have some advantage too. I’m sure that also the majority of Aphrodite’s kid will be more of a burden than a help for their team,”he pointed out.

I'm sure that we can bring it up to Zues, maybe send him a nicely written letter as to why everything is a mess." Evelyn joked, stirring the rice after a few minutes of cooking. She hummed over her shoulder. "It's almost done."

"They have quite a nifty and crippling ability if used right. Not to mention that Echo is one hell of a fighter. I don't need to be a camper of her cabin to know that she's skilled." He commented, before he bit ever so slightly on the tip of his tongue. Shaking the dwelling thought of her away, he continued. "Get them out of their element though, and they fall flat in terms of brute strength. When they run out of schemes, they're nothing to cry home about." He commented in response to the lineup of the blue team.

James chuckled as he said,” that sounds like a good way to get hit by a bolt of lightning.” He then smelt as he said,” it really does smell awesome sis.”

“Well, that’s why I said majority. Echo is not the majority,” he pointed out. “But you’re right. They’re team doesn’t have the most physical strength but they have many that are clever and sneaky. And they do have the Hermes kids, those girls are pretty good at slipping past unnoticed. They’re like snakes,”he added.

It'll snap me out of my silly thoughts." Evelyn scoffed, humor in her voice. She waved her hand proudly as she finished the rice. She began to pull out plates, carefully making the servings and putting on the last of the spices and flavors. "Do you want extra barbeque?" She asked.

I have a feeling those campers will be useful for whatever plan Nathanial is pulling out of his ass." Mathias sighed, rubbing his hand once at the healed puncture wound of the arrowhead, noticing how it marred his tattoo a bit. He gave a light scowl, not wanting to have to spend money to get it covered back over. He supposed it wasn't too noticeable, and he opted to ignore it for now. Instead, he looked at Jared and snorted. "Still trying to get closer to Cat?" He offered an almost knowing quirk of his brow.

Jared stared at him before smirking, “still obsessed with Echo?”he shot back, not really responding to Mathias’ statement and deflecting. Cat was just his friend. They weren’t even close friends. But something about her did intrigue him.

Mathias shot Jared a firm look, before the hint of defensiveness turned into a snort of assurance. "And if I am? Have you seen her? She could probably strangle a man in 5 seconds. There's room in my cold heart for that kind of person." He crossed his arms leisurely at that, not even coming close to his true feelings for the young woman. Even so, it was easier to say he was just attracted to her, like he was to most. Easier to swallow that way. "You didn't answer my question."
"Oh, we do." Evelyn perked. "Where the heck is the lighter? See, this is why we need Kyo and Pheonix in the kitchen more, they could snap their fingers and boom, any fire you like. So cool, really. Powers like that! I wish I could control Lightning."

Jared snorted, “Cat is my friend. I’m not into everything that walks.”he retorted, the words being a clear jab at his older brother. “But, I do think she’s interesting, and she is pretty, but I’m not really plotting to get close to her. However, I am helping her train,”He admitted to Mathias.

"That's a bold statement. I assure you, I'm not that promiscuous...most of the time." Mathias mused, neither confirming nor denying Jared's statement. He seemed to be in better spirits after Lunette's assistance in training, though his sarcasm would always remain sharp. "Training. Finally, you're speaking my language. What have you been teaching her? I doubt she's all that keen on hand to hand when she can call on whatever magic she has floating around." He waved his hand broadly.

Jared rolled his eyes at his first statement, but continued to answer him. “I haven’t really started to yet, but I did offer to help her. Probably starting tomorrow. I’m just going to start with helping her heighten her senses. That will help her a lot. She needs to feel and trust her instincts more,”he told Mathias.

Spencer nodded at him lifting her sword so the flat edge of her sword met his sharp end as it came down on her. She tensed up, preparing to take more hits that she had to block. “Ok I’m going to slash a few slow times.” Hunter spoke. “I won’t Hurt you.” He promised. “But I want to see how you do.” He spoke before taking a step back. Quinn nodded. “Exactly.” She smiled. “So when do you think this will get started?”

Nat sighed,”I have no idea, I don’t wanna wear this armor for longer that necessary,”she muttered,”maybe we should just sit and wait outside our cabin till we see people gathering?”she suggested.
“Okay I’m ready,”Spencer nodded at him, getting in position. She felt ready, and she trusted that Hunter wasn’t gunna just blast her into oblivion with his sword.

“Let’s go crash Athena’s cabin then.” Quinn spoke, heading that way. “We’ll force them to start.”
Hunter moved to make a couple slow slashes at her, wanting to see her reflexes.
