The Champion of Ares- River GellisRiver nodded slightly and sat down on the floor and sat on his hands. He understood that Echo was still scared and nervous and whatnot. So he didn't push anything. Didn't try to tell her what to do or what he wanted her to do. He just sat there quietly and sighed heavily. His body hurt but with how he wiped at his face within the span of coming here, he knew that his wounds weren't bleeding any more. "Aww isn't this precious" Ares hummed in his brain. "You're not as mean as people want you to think." River scowled at the ground when Ares spoke. He didn't respond or acknowledge him but he did know that the war god was trying to get under his skin. He was already irritable so it was working. Choosing to direct his efforts elsewhere, he glanced up at Clementine and Chiara really seeing them for the first time and narrowing his eyes. "Nothing is wrong with the room. There aren't any acoustics in here maybe it's just you," River grumbled. ________________ The Champion of Thoth- Jason Bates Nariku The AvariciousJason nodded in response to Irene. He leaned back on the couch and looked around. He didn't find anything of interest yet. He was still blind. "Well this is just a mess isn't it?" Jason said mostly to the air. But then he looked towards the girl next to him and shrugged. "Long as I don't have to go home I guess," he joked half-heartedly. Extending his hand towards the girl Jason gave her a small smile "I'm Jason. Might as well formally introduce myself since I'm done freaking out... at least a little.'

(Oh my gosh I'm dum and didn't realize that River is Ares' Champion! So the dynamic between River and Sanna with the Hephaestus and Ares past just made me kind of giggle Leo) |

(Just the two of them throwing sarcastic comments back and forth to each other and listening to their gods yell in their heads about how awful the other is, River easily kicking Sanna's butt in a fight and then Sanna intentionally messing up on a weapon for him because "I'm new at this sorry, oops")

Guinevereβs speaking in French pulled another smile from Laurie.
βOui, trΓ©s amusant,β he replied βet nous pouvons parler de gens sans qu'ils le sachent.β
For now he followed them into the kitchen and upon hearing Guinevereβs question, Laurie just shrugged.
βI donβt know, I havenβt had it as bad as Griffin and Ariella,β he said βbut mon pΓ©re is an alcoholic, and ma maman doesnβt care. He spends all our money on drink.β
They hadnβt had enough money for Laurie to go to university or afford his own place. Heβd had a job and was saving up to at least get out of Bordeaux, but he figured since his father spend all the householdβs money on drink, Laurie might as well do the same just to spite him. Not that the money thing was Laurieβs biggest issue with his fatherβs drinking.
But he didnβt want to think about that right now and so he turned his gaze to Griffin when he asked Laurie how he liked his coffee.
βOh, Iβll take it black, thank you,β Laurie smiled
Right now, the stronger the better.
But he turned his attention back to Guinevere, whoβd brought up this whole past thing, with some curiosity in his eyes.
βAnd what about you, hmm,β he asked βWhatβs your story?β

Irene set herself down on the couch, leaning against the arm-rest on her end while she looked at him. Of course, she couldnβt tell if he knew that she was looking at him. When he joked about not going home, she gave him a bit of a smirk in amusement βI guess thatβs a plus, not like anyone back home is going to miss me.β
When he extended his hand to shake, she gave herself a moment to think about it before extending herβs as well. She gave his hand a firm grip before releasing βIrene. I donβt think I got to actually introduce myself since I was freaking out too.β
----------------------------
Theodore followed closely behind everyone as they made their way to the cafe. He was impressed at the size of it, but was reluctant to let people see. Heβd already embarrassed himself earlier, so he was unwilling to let his guard down.
At Guinevereβs question if they were all pathetic people, Theo was reluctant to answer. Especially after hearing Ariellaβs, Griffinβs, and Laurieβs responses. He didnβt want to admit that he was pathetic and didnβt have things figured out. On the other hand, telling these people that he wasnβt like them wouldnβt give others the best impression. Especially since heβd be lying if he said his life was fantastic.
Instead of answering the question, he just sat back and said βThen there has to be a silver lining? Life sucks and all, but we were kind of whisked away from it when you think about it.β
βOh, if youβre making Coffee, then make mine black as wellβ Theo stated with an air of confidence. He didnβt like black coffee. At all. But he didnβt want to get one-upped by the guy who showed up drunk. He saw it as a challenge instead of just some dude asking for coffee.
---------------------------
(I just had this thought of Pascal and Dillon going to the Cafe with everyone and Pascal asks for Black Roasted coffee βAs black as the crushing abyssβ and people are just confused what he means by that. They give him the coffee and he downs it in, like, 3 seconds flat, unfazed, because βI donβt intend to sleep tonightβ)

Between Echoβs confused looks and Riverβs comments about the acoustics in the room not being weird, it was becoming clear to Chiara that it was just her. But this seemed far too... different from normal. She thought she knew what it was, but she didnβt want to think about that possibility.
βYes, I suppose it must be,β the girl nodded
That was when she heard a voice suddenly, one that made her tense for a moment in surprise. But she recognised Heimdallrβs voice.
βCome on, you know what it is, Chiara. We both know I didnβt choose an idiot for a champion.β
But she tried not to let the others know what sheβd just heard, because she didnβt really want Echo to know. It would only freak everyone out more, and she didnβt want that.
Instead, she smoothed out her expression and decided to focus on Echo, offering the girl a smile.
βItβs okay, you donβt have to talk,β she said βweβll stay here with you and make sure youβre okay, but you can deal with this however you need to. Iβm sure you know the routine, take some deep breaths.β
Echo didnβt seem like any stranger to anxiety, so Chiara was sure she wasnβt out of line to assume she had some method for dealing with it.

Dillonβs joke had obviously gone over Pascalβs head, but that was okay. They were kind of in an overwhelming situation right now if he were honest.
βOh, donβt worry, Iβm fine,β he assured the other boy.
He agreed with his words about family, though, and offered a helpless shrug in response.
βNo, I donβt think that I would either. But Hera wanted me to say that I think. I donβt know, itβs confusing to be honest.β
Some part of him thought that the family thing was why Hera chose him. To help this group be a family, or become one anyway. To function well together as a group and to get along. And judging by the approving hum he heard from Hera, he was right.
βWell, if you want to we can stay here until you feel better, or we can go and find some of the others. Whatever you want.β he suggested

Pascal squinted βOh, alright.β If Dillon wasnβt worried about his blood sugar, then it wasnβt best to press on about it. Not like heβd be able to persuade him about getting it checked out.
βHeraβ¦ yeah, the Goddess if I remember correctly.β He said in a tired voice. He knew a bit about mythology, but it was mostly from a glance. It was something he did on occasion when he chose to sit down and write. Some of the greek stories served as good inspiration after all.
With Dillonβs question on if they should stay there, Pascal gave it some thought. He could sit around in the dark for a bit, but at this moment in time, it seemed pointless. βIβm parchedβ He replied, standing up βIβd like something to drink if that isnβt too much to ask.β

Mercin fell from the sky outside of the pantheon. "What the hell even happened?!" He murmured. He got up and walked inside the pantheon, only to see other people. Other people... He looked at them. He didn't do well with, well people. He had the traits to be favored amongst many people. It's just, they didn't understand him. He thought about drawing his daggers out, or even his bow. He didn't though, he just blinked at the teens.

Seely Kaase
Champion of Sekhmet
Seely pulled herself together finally and slowly pulled herself to her feet, still leaning against the wall. She ran her hands over her face before turning around and catching a glimpse of people heading through a large entrance. The smell of coffee hitting her then and she smiled. Something she knew. Though that smile faded as she looked around. "Where the heck am I?" she clenched her jaw and swallowed before chasing after the others she'd seen. Perhaps they'd have better answers for her. Her knees wobbled a bit on the first couple steps, as she had just been thrust through time and space, little to her knowledge. Figuring, maybe running wasn't the best idea, she simply walked, following the smell of coffee.
"This is home." Sekhmet chimed in her head simply.
Seely sighed and nodded, "Alright but where is this place and why am I here? How did you even bring me here?" she spoke aloud because some part of her thought maybe that voice wasn't in her head and that woman was here somewhere instead.
Sekhmet laughed lightly, "Well, those are hard answers. But, I chose you for a purpose. You will learn through me and you will feel what I have accomplished. We will make you a great warrior of rage and conquest."
Seely bit her lip at the thought. "I don't think I should do that." The voice feel silent then and finally Seely caught up to the large group
"Hello, do you guys happen to know what's happened here?" she questioned as she rounded the entrance. She paused after her question though and looked around in confusion. A cafe?

Sanna Dubois
Champion of Hephaestus
After a moment to collect her thoughts, Sanna heard voices. She listened quietly for a couple moments. Two voices a male and female. Sanna adjusted her jacket and sighed light, at least someone may have answers. As much as she'd rather stick to herself she needed to figure out what was going on here. Her eyes moved carefully about her, trying to catch sight of anyone else here. There were plenty of other voices she picked up on but these two sounded the closest. As she rounded the corner a small doorway lead her to the two she was looking for. Sanna paused just beyond the door frame for a moment and bit at her lip. Then, with a roll of her eyes, she rounded the entrance and her eyes fell to the two. A girl and guy both sitting on a large couch. noting the boy's glossy and unfocused gaze.
"Hey." Sanna greeted simply as she walked into the room and moved to the side.
She leaned herself up against the wall and looked over the two for a moment before arching a brow, though the gaze in her eyes displayed disinterest, her features read otherwise.
"What's going on here?" her voice came off a bit harsh and the question almost seemed as if she were accusing the two before her of knowing what had happened in this place.

Guinevere Sharpe
Guinevere downed another coffee pretty quickly, almost like she was trying to get drunk off of it. Which there was a pretty good chance she was, given her circumstances. She didn't reply in french this time, too preoccupied with listening.
She frowned as everyone spoke, but it was the barest movement of her lips, not much else. She slowed her drinking, simply watching them, "Hey, nothing wrong with that." Guinevere supplied, shrugging.
Laurie then mentioned a little tidbit about his parents spending all their money on booze, and it made her feel guilty. She never wanted the money she had, not like she had a choice.
Theodore did his thing, and she could tell without a passing glance that he'd likely choke on his first sip. But Laurie asked her about her story, "Not much. Rich parents, though these-" she gestured at the white patches on her dark skin, "-were seen as a curse by them. They didn't like Europeans or Americans, not after everything that happened in South Africa." Apartheid, Seychelles wasn't part of South Africa, but it was an African country. "Not much else to mention, looks like we were all nobodies."
It wasn't meant to be crude, just honest. That seemed to be Guinevere. Though she just looked over her shoulder, watching as the pale girl pondered up. She was new, "Une nouvelle femme. Quelle surprise." She didn't say anything more to explain it, it wasn't her job to.

Echo Deirdre || Clementine Lester
Echo seemed to calm slowly, though she froze as she spotted another figure. Though she breathed out, simply nodding along to both River and Chiara. She scuttled closer to River, looking at him for a moment, before swallowing. "Th-Tha-Thank y-you." It was barely audible and extremely broken, and she looked at Chiara, to show the sentiment to the girl as well. She didn't say anything else, just forcing breaths out of herself, focusing on the light. Though the blood on River's face bothered her, she fiddled with her ragged long sleeves for a moment, before poking at her own cheek, before gesturing at him, a way of asking if he was 'Okay?'
Clementine sighed out, long and hard, before turning, only to almost run into Mercin themselves, their eyes widening for a moment as they glared at him. They breathed out, more kids were in the building then there had been minutes before, "Before you ask, no, we can't leave, and yes, you talked to a deity who decided to abduct you." They snapped, before looking over at Irene and Jason and that other new girl.
They sighed out, "Just go to the dining hall soon, like, an hour or whatever from now. No, don't ask me anything." They were presumptuous, it seemed, of what other people would ask, "Just get used to this place or whatever. This has been your PSA. Welcome to hell."
They sauntered forward, sitting on the ground near Jason and Irene, shrugging, "So, Jason and Irene? What's your name." They demanded, not really asked. They didn't seem to be particularly mean or nice, just a rational, fair mix between both.
