Okie doke)
Nakita was down by the beach, having decided to relax there for a bit after finishing her training exercises. She sighed, feeling a bit cooped up in the camp. Nakita really needed to get out for a while, wanting to do more than just train at the camp.
Nathaniel was at the training arena, working on his swordplay. Pretty soon his plans would start to fall into place, and he needed to be ready. He paused in his movements, wondering if Quinn had any news for him yet.

(heyo! I actually might have to hop off soon rip) "Don't think for a moment that I would ever intend to lose to anyone, even you, Echo. A pretty face won't distract me." Mathias spoke boldly, yet a hint of sly teasing filled his graveled voice. He had never been one to be nervous to initiate flirting, yet he felt a strange reluctance to act around her how he usually felt around others he found attractive. For now, he walked on, slipping past her to hold open the Dining Hall door. "After you." He invited. "It was once, and it was an accident!" Kyo called after her, trying to sound stern but only succeeding in sounding exasperated instead. He watched Phoenix go for a moment, unease stirring in his gut, before he finally returned to carrying the metal. Echo tossed him a grin as she walked past him, “Funny. I seem to remember Capture the Flag ending with you being distracted and me winning the game.” She said, “And don’t think I’ll go easy on you guys when Friday rolls around. I’m not letting that flag go.” Phoenix shook her head with a small smile and continued walking, not sure which direction she should go. She kind of wanted a bit of peace and quiet, so maybe she would go to the outskirts of the woods, not many campers go that way.

You have singlehandedly reduced my chances of ever having kids. I hope you are proud.” Mathias retorted, though his voice held no venom, instead coming out with sarcasm as he met her banter. “The flag is ours if our damned team decides to stick to the plan.” He muttered, still a bit bitter about what had happened. He stood near Echo, looking around the dining hall. A faint noise echoed from just outside the camp borders, just beyond the barrier. The person seemed to be humming to himself as he walked steadily through the forest. He paused, turning ever so slightly as soon as he heard footsteps. Levin swished his hand, quickly hiding his recognizable features with strong illusions. “Is somebody there?” He called innocently.

Echo rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, “Oh please. I thought you Ares kids were supposed to be tough.” She teased lightly. “Speaking of. What did happen to the plan you guys had? It seemed like you guys fell apart. Bit unusual for Nathaniel if you ask me.”
Phoenix froze as she heard a voice and tensed up, her eyes narrowing in suspicion, “Who’s there?” She said, voice hard. She scanned the tree line, looking for any movement.

She scanned the tree line, looking for any movement. “Hell if I know. He seemed ready to go and then all of a sudden he prances off and leaves me in charge. I’m not a team manager type. I’m not one for group projects, and he stuck me with the spot.” Mathias grumbled. “He’s been acting weird, but I don’t nose around his business if he doesn’t nose around mine.” He shrugged. Levin’s eyes danced for a moment as he realized exactly he had run into. Rather than some random camper to ambush, this girl fit the exact description of Phoenix. The untapped power there could be more than useful to the cause. He had to play his cards right. “Oh, thank goodness! I thought I was all alone out here! It’s embarrassing but…I think I might be lost. I was trying to cut through, but I realized I was walking way father than I should have. I’m an awful navigator, I guess.” He faked a sheepish tone before he asked. “Ah…can I ask what you’re doing out here, miss? Do you live out here?”

Echo started towards the Aphrodite table, glancing over at Mathias, “Weird how? Did something happen?” She asked, slowing her pace. Nathaniel was always a lot smarter in his battle plans, it was what made the Ares cabin tough to beat, much to the annoyance of the Athena cabin. This last Capture the Flag game was the first time in a while for Ares to lose. “He’s not normally so distracted.” She commented.
Phoenix narrowed her eyes at the stranger, there was no way this was just some ordinary mortal. They couldn’t be this close to the camp border without it stopping them. “Who are you? And what are you doing all the way out here?” She asked cautiously, taking a step back.

I know we strike first and ask questions later in our cabin, but he's been keeping more to himself lately. Who knows. Maybe he had a bad lay, got dumped, hell if he'll tell his own brother anything." Mathias muttered, a hint of bitterness in his voice, and a rare tone of faint concern. "I told you, I got lost! Suddenly I'm bumping into some invisible wall! Look!" Levin lifted his hands, knowing full and well he could just walk right through, yet he acted as if the field between them was keeping him out. "I thought I inhaled some kind of weird fume, but here you are, and you look real to me! What is this place?...Uh, I should probably ask your name?" He asked. "How did you get in there, and I can't?"

“Are you and Nathaniel close?” Echo asked, catching his tone of voice at the end, “I know that most of the campers here are close to their half siblings, but there are some cases where they hate each other. Just take a look at my own cabin, half the time my siblings are at each other’s throats.” She said, crossing her arms and giving a sigh.
Phoenix stayed silent for a moment, unsure on how to respond to this guy. She watched him for a second before saying anything, “You’re crazy, there’s no wall there. If this is some mime act, you’re pretty terrible at it.” She said. If this really was some random mortal, she couldn’t just straight up tell him this was some secret camp for children of the gods. Phoenix needed to direct him back to the road and away from the border. “If you continue down that way, there’s a road that’ll lead back to the city. Maybe someone driving by will pick you up.” She pointed in the direction of the road.

Mathias hesitated for a moment, a sort of memory filling his eyes, before they hardened once more, and his voice grew gruff and casual once more. “Well. I certainly don’t hate him. And we don’t argue much. He was the first person I met coming to this place…I was still getting used to being here instead of being in Africa. We were teenagers. That counts for something, I guess. But I’ve never been one to play well on a team. So…we get along as any person would with another they don’t hate.” He admitted, not wanting to admit that he did feel kinship with his half-brother. He was used to being seen as a beast moreso than a brother, so actually having one had been jarring. “Aw. I was hoping to be a professional magician!” Levin exclaimed, before he shook his head. “Lady, there is definitely something here. Are you some kind of spirit? A weird alien?…” He looked in the direction she was pointing and he gave a small hum. “I don’t want to get picked up by some stranger! Who knows what they’d do to me? Do you…think you could guide me so I don’t get lost?”

“Don’t worry. Whatever’s bothering him, I’m sure he’ll get over it soon.” Echo said with a sigh. It was probably nothing, she couldn’t go around jumping to conclusions, “If he wants to talk, he’ll come to you.”
Phoenix frowned at him, stepping a bit closer, “It’s not that hard to find, just keep going straight. What makes you think I want to go wandering around with a stranger myself?” She said.

Open) James was sitting outside his cabin reading one of the few brail books when suddenly he closed it and sighed. He was bored and wanted to do something. He slowly got up and started walking around the camp. As he walked around he hopped that something or someone would come to make him less bored.

Sweat dripped down Blaze's face as his work continued on making new shields for the camp armory. He wanted to be sure that they would hold up with his new design as each one was properly hand-crafted by himself. Nothing was overlooked as even a smallest imperfection would throw off the balance of the shield, literal and figuratively. He gave out a long, but satisfying grunt as he lifted the celestial bronze shield with a hint of a smile. Blaze pushed himself up out of a red soot covered wheeling chair and walked the new shield over to his now small collection of replica shields. Despite not many campers still remaining at the camp, he always wanted to be prepared in case the camp borders failed for whatever reason. His time within the Forge was one that brought hard work and happiness, but sometimes involved frustration. Today was a good day and he was glad to come out of the Forge with a smile on his face.
_________________________ After a whole episode of his mind and body playing games with him, Shadow was perfectly fine to not worry about stress for a few days. His mind had run rampant over the thoughts that intruded throughout his brain. Finally, he was able to silence them for a few hours after giving into some meditation technique that Chiron had told him about. For now, he enjoyed the sunshine that came down on camp. His back was leaning against the steps into the Hades cabin, his eyes closed as the sunlight soaked into his slightly pale skin.

Josie was feeling more anxious every day, the idea of a traitor walking around camp wouldn't put anyone's mind at ease. That, and what Shadow said and the secret they'd all promised to make wasn't doing anything to help. Currently, the daughter of Zeus was sitting at her table in the dining pavilion, staring at her half-full plate of food and scraping her fork against her plate. The brunette sighs softly and finally sets her fork down, leaning back and stretching her arms high in the air. Josie eventually gets up, discards the rest of her food, and starts to make her way towards the training area. If she couldn't eat, she might as well try and get some training in.
Claude laid in the top bunk of one of the beds inside the Hermes cabin, throwing a rubber ball against the ceiling and catching it whenever it comes back down. Things seemed to have calmed down since the incident in the forest, and though he knew there had been more question than answers, Claude didn't seem to be bothered. He felt it would be a waste of energy to worry about things they had no idea about. The counselors and Chiron were probably coming up with solutions on their own.
Juniper was where she usually was, lounging on the beach with an old issue of a magazine, sunglasses on and a floppy hat to further block the sun from her view. She flipped through the pages languidly, chewing on her lower lip as her eyes avert from the pages to the beach, waiting to see if anyone interesting was around.

His back was leaning against the steps into the Hades cabin, his eyes closed as the sunlight soaked into his slightly pale skin. Frances was coming back from the strawberry fields, it was an unspoken duty for the children of Demeter to look after the fields as it was the only income for the camp after all. Fortunately for her, Frances especially loved taking care of the plants, walking between the plots and making sure to check on each dying leaf, and every wilted strawberry. With a smile, the blonde was bouncing towards the forge, on her way to check on what Blaze was working on, when she happened to spot a certain son of Hades sitting outside. She slows to a stop and changes course, approaching Shadow and crouching down in front of him while his eyes were still closed. Her hazel eyes study his peaceful face, knowing he usually wears his face with a hard expression. Before her staring could be considered really creepy, the Demeter girl finally speaks up. "Whatcha thinking about?" Frances asked, a wide smile on her lips as she sat in front of Shadow.

Unfortunately, his mind loved to use silence as a fuel for tormenting him. Past nightmares, fears, or whatever it could use against him. As the sun glanced off of Shadow's skin, he was grateful to be left alone. Until he wasn't. His ears were attuned to the footsteps approaching him and slowly his face dissolved from enjoyment to annoyance with a frown creasing his facial features. "Death... decay" he lied, his eyes staying closed. "What do you want Frances? Surprised you're even speaking to me despite our parents displeasure for one another."
