Camp Half-Blood II (Now with 100% more capture the flag!)

[waterpenguin43]

So, continuing where we let off, a nearby Ares kid looks interested at Mikes challenge. Sure, sounds good.

Also, the hole is located around the middle of the camp area.

[CrimsonAngel]

You guys are seriously doing this? Don't fight, we need to see if everyone is alright! Aaron looks exhasporated and terrified. Growing up in Texas he had never felt a tremor.

EDIT: A RHYME!?

[XtheYeti]

Mike kip ups and points at Andrew and Aaron.

So which one of you two is going to be next, and the hole isn't hurting anything, just don't fall in it


Then the Ares kid speaks up.

GOOD! No weapons, we wrestle. So bring it on nephew!!!

[Viera Champion]

Gah! I forgot about this thread. I don't even know what's going on!

So um... I suppose Thera I where she is supposed to be. I don't really know where that is.

[bvdk99]

Aaron's right. Andrew decides. Aaron, how about you and I check if everyone's alright, while they continue the match?

[waterpenguin43]

Let's do this!
He takes off his shirt to cool down and enters a position with his hands out to get Mike.


Gah! I forgot about this thread. I don't even know what's going on!

So um... I suppose Thera I where she is supposed to be. I don't really know where that is.

Don't fear, you're currently walking the Ten Miles to a train station. Ivan is currently in his cabin (I guess), but probably woken up by the earthquake. He might want to come and join Mike st the wrestling Arena.

[bvdk99]

Gah! I forgot about this thread. I don't even know what's going on!

So um... I suppose Thera I where she is supposed to be. I don't really know where that is.

(Quick OOC: Thera is with the other campers after the fight with the hydra, the campers got into a fight with Sophia and Lucas, and everyone's going their seperate ways, if I'm correct)

[XtheYeti]

Mike locks up with him and tries to trip him with a leg sweep.

[CrimsonAngel]

I'll get my brothers then if you guys would rather fight!

He rushes off into the raised dust to find his family.

[waterpenguin43]

The Ares kid seems skilled at this, he is short but strong. He let's himself get tripped so he can topple onto you and try and bring you to the ground.

(Aaron)
Aaron and Andrew see a camper stuck in a fissure. Andrew remembers him as Bram.

[XtheYeti]

Mike rolls with the kid, but tries to keep the roll going so that he will end up on top, also he tries to bend one of the kids arms behind his back.

[Viera Champion]

Ivan finds his way to the wrestling arena. And sees Mike. He watches.
--------
And Thera is walking the ten miles to the train station.

[waterpenguin43]

The kid is surprisingly strong. He flips around and tries to shove you off.

[bvdk99]

Seeing Bram, Andrew runs over to him, and drags him out of the fissure. Assuming he's unconscious, Andrew lifts him over his shoulder and trudges over to the big house (or wherever the healing place is) to be treated.

[XtheYeti]

Mike is shoved and laughs.

You're strong Nephew! But are you strong enough?

He goes for a double leg take down, but he will try to pick the kid up and slam him on the way down.

[waterpenguin43]

Bram awakens as you pick him up. A-andrew... Run..... Leave me here.......

(Mike)
Yeah I am! he tries to pick you up as you dive at him.

[CrimsonAngel]

Aaron and a few of his brothers, the ones better with this medical huhah, run over to Andrew and Bram.

Is he hurt? one of the Apollo kids ask.

[bvdk99]

Daisy, seeing the wrestling half-bloods, runs over and asks, in her quiet voice, if they could please stop to help her check on the campers. No one hears her though, and she dejectedly trudges away.

[waterpenguin43]

(Andrew/Aaron)
Bram looks truly frantic. No!! R-run! They're coming!......

[bvdk99]

I-I don't know! Andrew says anxiously. He's telling me to run, but I don't know what from!

[XtheYeti]

Mike is grabbed but he twists to try to use lil Ares grab and weight against him. And tries to slam him.

That's the spirit Nephew!

[Viera Champion]

Actually, Ivan hear's Daisy.
I'll come.

[bvdk99]

Andrew hands the frail body of Bram to one of the Apollo campers, and says to Aaron Bram sounds terrified. We have to alert the other campers about this.

[waterpenguin43]

(Aaron)
NO!!!!! YOU.....MUST.......GO!!!!!!! he screams.
He rolls over. You can see what seems to be an enormous bite wound on his hip.
(Mike)
You grab him, but he's too strong to just shove over. He grabs your leg with his and tries to trip you.

[bvdk99]

Actually, Ivan hear's Daisy.
I'll come.

Daisy spins around happily. Great! Let's start at the Zeus cabin.

[CrimsonAngel]

Aaron, shoked by Bram, moves back. Don't worry, we're here to help you.

[XtheYeti]

Mike lets himself be tripped and tries again to roll through and be on the top position. He lets loose just a tiny bit of an electric shock.

[bvdk99]

Andrew, completely stressed out, calmly tells Jacob to bring Bram to the infirmary, while he goes and gets Mike; he should know what to do.

[Viera Champion]

Ivan nods, and the 17-year-old Apollo camper follows Daisy to the Zues cabin.

[waterpenguin43]

No......no...no........don't.....stay.... here..... t-too..... many.................. he falls unconscious at his loss of blood.

(Mike)
Hey, cheater! the kid shouts, but he sounds amused. Once you get on, you realize just how strong he actually is; He picks you up and throws you forward, and you land on your face in the sand. He then leaps at you.

[bvdk99]

Andrew procceeds to sprint to the wrestling arena, and yells Mike, we've got a problem, come quick!

[CrimsonAngel]

Aaron and Jacob lift Bram's body to take him to the infermery.

Daniell, Brad, look for more.

[Sahaar]

Jake sits down and waits for the other questing demigods to finish doing whatever they are doing.

[bvdk99]

No......no...no........don't.....stay.... here..... t-too..... many.................. he falls unconscious at his loss of blod.

(Jacob is taking Bram to the infirmary as we speak)

[XtheYeti]

Mike leaps up off the ground letting go of the Ares kid. Shocking him off if he has to.

What's going on?

[Zexion]

Jake sits down and waits for the other questing demigods to finish doing whatever they are doing.

Jeparo and the other questers are walking to the train station. They arrive.
Okay, let's pay for our tickets.

[bvdk99]

We found a Hermes camper in a fissure, and we dragged him out, but he kept yelling at us to run, to save ourselves, and then he passed out. Jacob and Aaron are taking him to the infirmary as we speak.

[waterpenguin43]

The Ares kid seems nicer then the others. He gets off and backs up.

(Jacob)
When you arrive at the infirmary, Chiron sees and gives Bram a tiny bit of nectar. The blood clots, but he is still unconscious in the bed.

(Jeparo)
The conductor looks. That'll be 95 dollars for the four of you.

[bvdk99]

The Ares kid seems nicer then the others. He gets off and backs up.

(Jake)
When you arrive at the infirmary, Chiron sees and gives Bram a tiny bit of nectar. The blood clots, but he is still unconscious in the bed.

(Jacob is a random Apollo camper; Jake is son of Ares, on the quest)

[CrimsonAngel]

Aaron lets go of Bram at the door and turns toward the wrestlers. Someone try to send an Iris message!

EDIT: To the questers, possibly. Just so they know.

[Zexion]

The conductor looks. That'll be 95 dollars for the four of you.
Sure, Jeparo says, handing over the pooled money.
When's the next train leaving? he asks.
He looks at the sky.
Hermes, we need some help right about now.

[bvdk99]

To whom? Andrew responds.

[waterpenguin43]

(Jeparo)
The conductor looks at a nearby clock. 5 minutes.

[Viera Champion]

Thera also arives at the train station. I suppose Bryn is with her.

[CrimsonAngel]

Almost anyone right now; one ot the questers to alert them; maybe one to a god.

[XtheYeti]

Mike runs out to the fisure and takes a look at it.

Everyone who is not injured check the campground for wounded and get them to the infirmary! Then muster back here! MOVIE IT PEOPLE!!!

His voice is loud and demands the attention of all at the campground. Senior Zeus camper expects to be listened to. lol

------------

I guess the underworld group will get there and pay for there tickets. but once they get on the train they will go back to being deadtime till Creed and Beans are back.

[Zexion]

Thank you.
Jeparo turns to the rest of his group.
All aboard!

[icastflare!]

matt walks to the train station with his group.

[bvdk99]

Andrew turns to Aaron Let's send an Iris message to the questers, maybe they could help?

[waterpenguin43]

Thera also arives at the train station. I suppose Bryn is with her.

Yes she is. The conductor sees you. I'll bet you want the next train to Indianapolis too? That'll be 71.25$
He sees Greg and says the same.

[CrimsonAngel]

Aaron digs into his bag for a drachma. The poseidon kids have a mist fountain, right?

[XtheYeti]

Don't worry about the questers! They have there own things to worry about! Do as your told! Both of you check the campground for injured then get back here!

Mike is somewhat used to being listened to...

----------
Greg pays, and the underworld group boards the train...

[CrimsonAngel]

Aaron throws the drachma at Mike.

[waterpenguin43]

Aaron digs into his bag for a drachma. The poseidon kids have a mist fountain, right?

A nearby Poseidon boy answers. Yes, we do.

[Viera Champion]

Thera waves to Matt with a smile, before paying the conductor.

[CrimsonAngel]

That one is free, Mike. Aaron follows the Poseidon boy.

[bvdk99]

Andrew thinks for a moment, then says to Aaron: Mike's right. Sending an Iris message wouldn't do us any good. Let's just do as we're told for now. He waves goodbye, then runs over to the Hermes cabin to check for injured campers.

-----------------------
Daisy and Ivan arrive at the Zeus cabin; there aren't any injured campers there. Let's go get directions from Mike. she suggests, then runs off towards the commanding voice of the senior Zeus camper.

[CrimsonAngel]

Aaron sighs. I guess... But i'm not saying sorry. He shoots Mike a glare before running to an injured camper.

[icastflare!]

Matt waves back, trying to keep his mind of the fact of who his teammates are.

[Viera Champion]

Ivan nods, and starts searching for Mike.

[waterpenguin43]

(Daisy)
Sure. Let's go.
(Thera)
You see Sophia with an evil look on her eye walk past.

[XtheYeti]

Mike faceplams at teh Drachma. Then pulls another one out and throws them both into the fissure.

Poseidon! Demeter! Hear me!

Mike be at the hole/fissure

[waterpenguin43]

An evil voice comes up from the fissure. No god will hear you, mortal. The rise of the Titans comes. You see a glint of glod slip underground.

[bvdk99]

(Daisy)
Sure. Let's go.
(Thera)
You see Sophia with an evil look on her eye walk past.

(who's saying sure let's go?)

[XtheYeti]

Mike growls and hurls another Drachma at the sky. and blast it with lightning.

FATHER! The titans return!

Then he tries to send a massive lightning bolt after the gold glint.

[Zexion]

Jeparo shivers, a sudden cold has passed over him.
I... I think I need to sit down.

[Viera Champion]

Thera makes some rude gesture to Sophia.

[waterpenguin43]

An enormous lightning bolt strkies the ground. THe skies are turning grey and electricity crackles above.

(Thera)
Sophia takes out her bow, puts in a lead-tipped arrow, and shoots it at Matthew while he looks at you. It vanishes when it hits him.

[bvdk99]

Daisy, seeing Mike, runs over to him. Mike, what should Ivan and I do?

[XtheYeti]

Mike hurls more lightning at the fissure.

FATHER! Be with me now!

And then he prepares to leap into the fissure...

Prepare for war little one! The titans are returning! Send the Isis message to the questers! The titans are behind the kidnappings!!!

[CrimsonAngel]

Aaron runs to Daisy and Mike's side. I think you should get prepared to kick some ugly titan tail. He says to Daisy, emphasizing the ugly.

[waterpenguin43]

DO NOT GO, MY SON!!!!! comes into your mind. It is obvious Zeus does not want you to go into there.

[bvdk99]

Seeing what Mike's about to do, Daisy yells (over the strong wind - i'm assuming there is because you said the clouds look stormy or whatever) No, Mike! We need you here!

[icastflare!]

matt falls to his knee's What the hell was that?

[XtheYeti]

Mike leans back slightly and raises his face to the sky.

What would you have me do father? I am your obedient son.

He takes half a step back.

[Woodsman]

Peter feels something too, though he isn't sure what. "I... I think we need to.. get... to the... train," he says, starting to feel sick.

(OOC: I assume that if Jeparo feels something, Peter would too, being more closely related to the Titans than a son of Ares)

[bvdk99]

After helping rescue several campers, Andrew runs over to where Mike is yelling up at the sky, and asks Aaron: What's going on?

[XtheYeti]

The titans are returning! Prepare for war!

[bvdk99]

(OOC: WP never said the titans are returning)

[CrimsonAngel]

Mike summed it up pretty well.

[Viera Champion]

Thera glares at Sophia.
Whay did you just do?

[XtheYeti]

An evil voice comes up from the fissure. No god will hear you, mortal. The rise of the Titans comes. You see a glint of glod slip underground.

...yeah...kinda did...

Send an Isis message to those on the quest! Tell them that the titans return! And that thy are most likely the ones who kidnapped the gods!

[CrimsonAngel]

Aaron takes a Drachma and runs in the general direction of Poseidon's cabin; the dust and wind is blinding.

[Sahaar]

Jake looks over at Jeparo.

Hey, buddy, you okay? What's wrong?

[waterpenguin43]

(Mike)
Stay at camp, defend it! Whatever is beneath the camp is far too dangerous to go leaping after. STAY HERE!!! says the voice.

(Thera)
Just giving your romantic interest a bit of reason.
says Sophia evilly.

[Zexion]

Jeparo is muttering to himself.
Impossible, that doesn't
He screams.
No, no, no, no, no!
He collapses on the floor.

OOC: Jeparo is having a reaction because his father is the god of war, and consequently reacts when a war is about to occur.

[bvdk99]

Aaron takes a Drachma and runs in the general direction of Poseidon's cabin; the dust and wind is blinding.

Andrew, confused, follows Aaron to the Poseidon cabin.

[Sahaar]

Jake rushes to Jeparo.

HOLY ****! Jeparo, what's wrong?

[CrimsonAngel]

Aaron makes it inside of the Poseidon cabin; the feeling of unknown energy fills the air. He hopes Poseidon dosen't fill his lungs with water for being here.

He tosses the gold drachma into the mist and prays to Isis to see the questers.

[bvdk99]

Aaron makes it inside of the Poseidon cabin; the feeling of unknown energy fills the air. He hopes Poseidon dosen't fill his lungs with water for being here.

He tosses the gold drachma into the mist and prays to Isis to see the questers.

Andrew arrives and does the same.

[XtheYeti]

Yes Father! I obey! All campers ready yourselves for battle! Stand away from the hole and fissure! And prepare yourselves to fight!

Mike herds everyone away from the fissure and then positions himself as the closest to it, but still about 30 feet away. Lightning is arching all over him.

[Woodsman]

Peter feels slightly better, but is truly confused at Jeparo's reaction.
"Let's get him to the train. We need to move now before it leaves."

In his head he asks, Father, what's happening?

[Viera Champion]

(Mike)
Stay at camp, defend it! Whatever is beneath the camp is far too dangerous to go leaping after. STAY HERE!!! says the voice.

(Thera)
Just giving your romantic interest a bit of reason.
says Sophia evilly.

What is that supposed to mean?
Thera rushes over to Matt.
Are you ok?

[Zexion]

Peter feels slightly better, but is truly confused at Jeparo's reaction.
"Let's get him to the train. We need to move now before it leaves."

Jeparo suddenly lies still.
The Titans... are here.
He falls limp.

[Woodsman]

Peter stares at Jeparo. His mind refuses to accept the statement.

Then he grabs the son of Ares and picks him up, taking him to the train, swearing under his breath.

[icastflare!]

Well, it hurts....and I am not feeling good.

[XtheYeti]

Jeparo suddenly lies still.
The Titans... are here.
He falls limp.

Hey! No fair! Unless WP tells him through his dad he needs to wait! lol seriously no fair. wait for the Isis message.

[waterpenguin43]

(Jeparo and co.)
Bryn looks truly ill, and Lucas looks like he feels the same way Jeparo does, but is better at enduring it. Jason and Ilja look exaclty like Peter and Bryn. The children of the big three receive this in their heads. Dark, dark times await us....
(Andrew and Aaron)
You receive a message in your head instead. I have Iris, mortals. The Olympians will fall.

[XtheYeti]

Greg is confused, and he flips a drachma.

Mother. Hear your son.

I do not acknowledge Jeparo knows the titans are here yet. He has no IC reason. Therefore, Greg is doing the smart thing, and asking a goddess what's going on.

[CrimsonAngel]

That's a bit offputting. **** won't let us tell the others... Bring it on, Titan.

[bvdk99]

Damnit! Now what do we do!? Andrew cries.

[bvdk99]

... I guess I'll try praying to mom for guidance, but I wouldn't be surprised if she ignored me... He kneels on one knee, takes out a peacock-feather fan from his back pocket, unfolds it, and prays.

[Woodsman]

When the group reaches the train, Peter sets Jeparo down in his seat, then plops into his own.

He seems like he's about to be ill, but then his eyes roll back into his head and he faints dead away.

[Zexion]

As soon as Peter faints, Jeparo's eyes fly open
What happened? Did someone attack us? Where's Bryn?

[icastflare!]

matt gets back up and heads for his train.

[XtheYeti]

Greg goes to his train with Ilja and Jason...

Someone should tell Mike that Isis is capture-fied...

[CrimsonAngel]

Mike... MIKE! Aaron runs out of the cabin and towards the fissure, pushing kids out of the way till he gets to Mike. Mike, a titan captured Isis!!

[bvdk99]

Andrew appears on Mike's other side. What do you think this could mean?

[CrimsonAngel]

That we can't alert anyone, other than prayer. Apollo, please blind the titan with a beam of light if you can hear me. Aaron flips a coin into the sky.

[XtheYeti]

Mike looks shocked.

What!?! another goddess is taken!?!

He sighs and throws another Drachma into the air and blasts it with lightning.

FATHER!!! The rainbow goddess is taken by the titans! We cannot contact those on the quest! We need help!

[Beans]

Ilja walks with Greg and her half-brother.

[Zexion]

What happened? Where's Bryn? Is this the train?

[waterpenguin43]

(Andrew)
Iris is captured, my son! You must defend this camp! The pthers are perfectly capable of protecting themselves, so you must get started with the camp.

(Jeparo)
I am here, Jeparo. Bryn says weakly next to you. T-the titans are here.

At camp...
Attention all cabin leaders! Report to the Big House immediately! All non-leaders return to your own cabins! Chiron calls through a megaphone, his hair whipping around in the wind.

[XtheYeti]

Greg has paid for their three tickets and is holding Ilja's hand still, he goes and finds them three seats near the other campers and sits

[bvdk99]

(Andrew)
Isis is captured, my son! You must defend this camp! THe pthers are perfectly capable of protecting themselves, so you must get started with the camp.

Is this Hera? If it is, Andrew says aloud: Thank you, Mother!, then turns to Mike and says: My mother assures me that we must stay and defend the camp!

[CrimsonAngel]

If only we had some white boy with three glaives... :smallfrown:

[Zexion]

If only we had some white boy with three glaives... :smallfrown:

I'm not even going to comment on that. Oh, wait, I just did.

[icastflare!]

matt sits next to Julie on the train. He doesnt want an arrow form the back from sophie. He doesnt know that she shot him, but he is suspicous.

[XtheYeti]

Mike hurries into the big house.

[waterpenguin43]

matt sits next to Julie on the train. He doesnt want an arrow form the back from sophie. He doesnt know that she shot him, but he is suspicous.

Matt feels a sudden jerk of hatred for Thera. What buisness is your love life to her? among other things begin to waft through your head.

(Mike)
Mike arrives to see the rest of the leaders, or their replacements for the Ares, Aphrodite, Demeter and Poseidon cabins. Chiron looks grave. Bram at last regained consciousness. He brings grave news for us. Four campers, children of Nemesis, are dead by whatever is in those fissures. I'd like you to take turns in fours watching the fissure every day. I will accompany you each time. I will send out a message to the other campers if anything comes. I would like the leaders of Cabins 5 to 8 to lead the patrol today. he says. I scheduled it this way so we may continue any tournaments we may have. he says, looking at Mike.

[Beans]

Greg has paid for their three tickets and is holding Ilja's hand still, he goes and finds them three seats near the other campers and sits
Her hand is held; when she realizes it, she blushes and wonders if it'd be mean to remove her hand from his.

[XtheYeti]

It could be, but they have a long train ride ahead of them. He offers her an ear bud and the seat next to him.

Music? It's going to be a long ride.

[bvdk99]

Daisy, although opposed to violence, draws her dagger. Just in case... she thinks aloud.

[CrimsonAngel]

Aaron notices Daisy looking a little uneasy. Don't worry, Mike and I won't let anything happen to- wait, were's Chiron, did he not notice the tremor?

[Beans]

It could be, but they have a long train ride ahead of them. He offers her an ear bud and the seat next to him.

Music? It's going to be a long ride.
She brings her hand up to accept the earbud. The held hand.
She gently eases her hand out of his.
Thanks.

[Viera Champion]

Thera also is on the train, she is right across the aisle from Matt, so she can see him, and he can see her.
-----
Ivan, leader of the Apollo cabin shows up at the big house. I suppose Thera needs a proxy to go for her.

[XtheYeti]

He lets her hand go, and tries to slip the arm around her shoulder...dude just doesn't quit does he? :smalltongue:

No problem. Would you like to pick the music?

He offers her the iPod.

[Beans]

She shrugs his arm off gently. She's just an inch under six feet tall; how tall's he?
She picks something or other.

[XtheYeti]

Matt feels a sudden jerk of hatred for Thera. What buisness is your love life to her? among other things begin to waft through your head.

(Mike)
Mike arrives to see the rest of the leaders, or their replacements for the Ares, Aphrodite, Demeter and Poseidon cabins. Chiron looks grave. Bram at last regained consciousness. He brings grave news for us. Four campers, children of Nemesis, are dead by whatever is in those fissures. I'd like you to take turns in fours watching the fissure every day. I will accompany you each time. I will send out a message to the other campers if anything comes. I would like the leaders of Cabins 5 to 8 to lead the patrol today. he says. I scheduled it this way so we may continue any tournaments we may have. he says, looking at Mike.

Mike nods.

As you say Chiron. But I request leave to serve on the first watch. My first duty is to the safety of the camp.


--------------

Greg takes his arm back and just sits there with her. 6'2

[CrimsonAngel]

Aaron looks at Chiron and Mike's conversation from far away. I wonder what they're talking about. He says to himself.

[bvdk99]

Aaron notices Daisy looking a little uneasy. Don't worry, Mike and I won't let anything happen to- wait, were's Chiron, did he not notice the tremor?

I saw Mike and Ivan running over to the big house; they're both cabin leaders, so I'm assuming there's a meeting or something of other importance going on. She smiles at Aaron. How's the Apollo cabin doing?

[CrimsonAngel]

Um, we're good? There's a few of us in the infermery, but nothing serious.

[bvdk99]

Deadtiming for an hour or so...

[Zexion]

(Jeparo)
I am here, Jeparo. Bryn says weakly next to you. T-the titans are here.
The titans? How? This is all going wrong. We were just supposed to get the missing campers, and now all this happens...
Jeparo puts his arm around Bryn.

[Viera Champion]

Ivan nods to Chiron.
Sounds like a plan. I think most of my cabin, except for a few us Apollo campers who are injured, are helping everyone they can currently.

[IcemanJRC]

Arthur rushes into the big house, being leader of Artemis cabin.

"I'm sorry I'm late! The beasts of the forest are acting crazy! I had to deal with that, what's going on!"

Arthur looks exasperated, his chest scratched immensely and his face very wolfish.

[XtheYeti]

...Mike /explains to Arthur what's going on.

Would you take first watch with me?

[waterpenguin43]

Micheal. says Chiron calmly. You needn't do that. Arthur can join Ivan, Rachel and Alex. They, and I, can guard the chasm well enough. he says. You have been very brave. Go to your tournament.

[Woodsman]

Peter's eyes flutter open. They grow wide, and the he grabs his backpack and stumbles to the restroom, closing the door behind him. The sound of vomiting can be heard through the door.

He pulls a bottle of water out of his backpack, along with a small plastic cup. He opens the water bottle and pours some into the cup, which he promptly runs over his head.

He closes the bottle and disposes of the cup, returning to his seat. His head smells slightly like salt. He closes his eyes and breathes deeply, then asks, "What's happening?"

[XtheYeti]

What tournament? Mike was just wrestling for fun.

I want to help Chiron. Please. Let Rachel or Alex rest and be ready for the next shift.

[IcemanJRC]

Arthur says to Chiron,
"I know you want him to be able to do what he was doing and all, but Mikey boy here needs this, he can take first watch with me Ivan and Rachel. It's for the best."

Arthur then looks at Mike,
"You worried Mikey? I think we've got this."

[XtheYeti]

Yes I'm worried! The titans have returned! And i know you do. I just would feel like I'm shirking my responsibilities if I didn't take first watch.

[waterpenguin43]

What tournament? Mike was just wrestling for fun.

I want to help Chiron. Please. Let Rachel or Alex rest and be ready for the next shift.

(I want to improvise! And it is one of the activities, and since you enjoy it, I assumed so.)
Okay then. I'll let Alex go this time, so he will go when it would have been your turn. says Chiron. He leans closer. And do not, under any circumstances, go inside it.

[CrimsonAngel]

Aaron sighs, looking down the chasm. The ground crumbles at the edge were he stands, so he leaves to the footrace track through the shrinking crowd.

[XtheYeti]

I would never think of it Chiron. My father forbade me.

And it's a really good idea to do as Zeus says...

I am deadtiming for D&D. I'll be back on later.

[Maximum Zersk]

Zero

Zero is sitting a little bit away from the others, but close enough that he can hear them.

Suddenly the voice in his mind speaks again.
Titans, huh? Finally, the others get off their ass and are finally doing something.
What was that?
Oh, nothing. You'll find out... So, you lost your memory completely?
I-- well, not all. I remember waking up in a wierd land. Then, I remember walking through a forest. Then, something found me and then I was knocked out. Then I woke up near the camp, and, well, yeah.
Ah...

The voice left then, and didn't speak for a while.

[Woodsman]

"Can someone tell me what's going on, please?"

[IcemanJRC]

{To the Questers}
"Yes please, do tell. Your an interesting bunch you are."

A voice speaks from behind their seats.

"What's this about Titans and Gods? I just came to take any orders you may want from the dining car but this is far more interesting."

If you look you'll see Kevin.((I'm to lazy to describe him again, check the registry.))

[Zexion]

I'm not exactly sure, but I think that everyone here is worried about the Titans coming back.

[IcemanJRC]

"Oh, Titans? What Titans would this be?"

You hear Kevin ask you but his staring at Lucas the whole time.

[waterpenguin43]

A woman walks by. She has a beret and sunglasses on. She looks at you and smiles. Is there anything I can do for you sweet little children?

[Zexion]

Jeparo notices Kevin.
Who are you? Why are you asking all this?
He then looks at the woman.
Are you a god? he asks respectfully.

[IcemanJRC]

"Hey man, no flirting with the staff."
Kevin looks at Jeparo, misunderstanding the question he asked the women.

"And what do you mean why ask all these questions, this is a very interesting, if not odd conversation."

[Zexion]

Jeparo looks at the other campers.
He's not one of us. He has to leave.
He turns back to Kevin.
Excuse me, but could you leave for a moment. My group needs to talk.

[IcemanJRC]

"Aw, it's just like you Ares kids, not wanting to make friends."

Kevin says this very nonchalantly and then sits on Lucas' knee and puts an arm around Sophia.

"Lighten up, I won't tell anyone."

[waterpenguin43]

Sophia and Lucas (especially Lucas) look furious and try to shove Kevin off. Go away you little-
Now, now, you should all be friends. says the woman. I don't blame you all for your little romances.. she sighs. I had a little romance of my own once....

[IcemanJRC]

Kevin doesn't seem phased and simply turns to lay on their laps, his one arm around Sophia's waist, the other playing with Lucas' shoelaces.

"I just love a good love story, don't you?"

Kevin says, rather dreamily.

[waterpenguin43]

Lucas looks like he wants to fight, but he might get in trouble with all these mortals here.
THe woman continues. Once, I had a boyfriend, and a very kind one too. He was compassionate, courageous.... Everything you could want.

[Zexion]

Ariadne, Jeparo mutters under his breath.

[Creed]

Jason is un-deadtime. He is following his group, keeping an eye out for any monsters. He actually hopes the hydra will show up again so he can prove to everyone he's worthy to be on this quest, especially considering he's one of the newest campers here.

He is rather amused by Kevin hitting on Lucas.

[Zexion]

Jason is un-deadtime. He is following his group, keeping an eye out for any monsters. He actually hopes the hydra will show up again so he can prove to everyone he's worthy to be on this quest, especially considering he's one of the newest campers here.

We're on a train. No monsters.

[Viera Champion]

Thera is on the train.
Excuse me?
She says to the woman with the suglasses an the beret.
I don't mean to be rude, but who are you? It's nt exactly normal to walk up to complete strangers and tell them about your failed love life.

By the way, the woman is going to turn out to be medusa. I'm callig it.

[waterpenguin43]

The woman begins to look bitter. But then... SHE came. She ruined everything. She punished me, and when my sisters supported me, she punished them too. she looks angrily at Thera. I take it you know who that is, don't you? And you know who I am. How I......, you begin to hear hissing. Am Medusa. her beret comes off, snakes are revealed, hissing about in her hair.
(@Kurama: You damned ninja!! :smallfurious: :smallsmile:)

[icastflare!]

After he hears what she says, he jumps away and pulls out his bow. Anyone got a mirror!? he calls out

[IcemanJRC]

"Oh, hi! How are you darling, I love what you've done with your snakes."

Kevin comments offhandedly as he turns around.

"I hope you don't mind if I look at your reflection instead of you, don''t want to turn to stone you know."

Kevin says rather nicely as he looks at her with a vanity mirror he had with him.

[Zexion]

Jeparo activates his armor, and his three glaives appear in his hands. He looks away.
Nobody attack her!
He speaks to Medusa.
If you came here to fight us, you're in for the fight of your life. If not, then why are you here?

[Creed]

The woman begins to look bitter. But then... SHE came. She ruined everything. She punished me, and when my sisters supported me, she punished them too. she looks angrily at Thera. I take it you know who that is, don't you? And you know who I am. How I......, you begin to hear hissing. Am Medusa. her beret comes off, snakes are revealed, hissing about in her hair.
(@Kurama: You damned ninja!! :smallfurious: :smallsmile:)

What now Zexion! No monsters on a train! PEESHAWW!

Jason's necklace turns into his sword, and he is on the opposite side of the aisle from Medusa (her back is turned to him). He jumps at Medusa aiming for the neck in a brutal lock, followed by immediate decapitation. Suck t Greek monsters :smallmad:

never mind, I just get ready

[bvdk99]

Thera is on the train.
Excuse me?
She says to the woman with the suglasses an the beret.
I don't mean to be rude, but who are you? It's nt exactly normal to walk up to complete strangers and tell them about your failed love life.

By the way, the woman is going to turn out to be medusa. I'm callig it.

That's what I guessed too!

[Viera Champion]

Hey. It was incrediby similiar to the movie, I don't remember the book quite as well though, but that was pretty much what medusa said in the movie.

Thera quickly covers her eyes.
Dammir! Out of all the possible places for a medusa to show up, she has to come on a train!

[waterpenguin43]

I am not here to fight you, son of Ares. I am here to kill the daughter of Athena, who made the mistake of leaving the camp grounds, and, even more ridiculous, did so after getting the Slime of Ophion on her! Ha! At least she protected her cabin mates from Ophion, but, seemingly she left too late......... she says evilly. She is going towards Thera, trying to get her to look into her eyes.
(Forgive my lack of originality.)

[Creed]

Screw sitting still. Jason stealthily stand up and activates one of his kukri. He sneaks up on Medusa, turned around and using Kevin's vanity mirror to see Medusa's location. When close enough, he spins around to decapitate the monster

[Zexion]

You're not getting her.
Jeparo spreads the Flikes on the ground, where they rush up at Medusa's had, trying to suffocate the snakes.
Thera! Run!

[Creed]

Damn it Jeparo! Jason closes his eyes and activates his other kukri. He starts wailing away at Medusa's head.

[waterpenguin43]

Just before you activate your kukri, she spins around and grabs you by your collar. Try again, son of Hades. she tries to look into his eyes.

[IcemanJRC]

"Oh now don't be a fuddy-duddy, Medusa baby."

Kevin says this as he pulls a celestial bronze katar, seemingly from nowhere, it has a red, orange, and yellow ribbon tied to the end.

"I'm afraid were gonna have to ruff you up."

Kevin then begins to get into the fray as well, making graceful and well timed follow-up strikes after everyone elses attacks.

[Maximum Zersk]

Medusa might feel someone tapping her shoulder.

"Hey, lowlife," it said.

Behind her was no one else, but Zero.

Or, was it? It looked like Zero, but his eyes had a psychotic glint, and were... glowing.

His gaze was averted, not looking at Medusa.

"How about this. I give you a chance to leave, and I won't make you suffer again," Psycho-Zero said.

[Creed]

Suck this snakee! Jason whips his first kukri in an over the shoulder slice, hoping to cleave Medusa's head down the middle.

[icastflare!]

matt fires his bow into her back No one wants to see your ugly face, dumb b****!! he then jumps behind a seat to avoid her view.

[Viera Champion]

Goddammit Sophia! I am going to murder you!
She keeps her eyes covered.
You vile ugly snake woman! You deserve what you got for insulting my mother! What ever brought you to sleep with POSIEDEN in MY MOTHER'S TEMPLE?!

[IcemanJRC]

Kevin then jumps up and slashes some snakes from Medusa's head leaving a small rainbow in his wake and using this snappy one-liner.

"I love your hair, but how about we take a little of the top?"

[waterpenguin43]

(Thera)
She throws Jason into Kevin and runs towards you.
(OoC: Can you post Thera and Ivan on the Character Registration thread?)
Sophia has a look of shock on her face. How is this my fault!? she realizes why and it turns into amusement. Oh right, well you did put a scorpion in my bed. Bitch she makes no attempt to save you.

[Creed]

Jason jumps up, and, since her back is now to him, he rushes her with both kukri activated. He attacks her neck with a slashing fury, hoping to decapitate her.

[Beans]

Ilja averts her eyes. Well, her eye.
She keeps a good distance, staff ready.
She tries to look at Medusa in the reflection from Hades' gem.

[IcemanJRC]

After Jason bumps into Kevin he fumbles the mirror and it falls, cracking on the floor.

"Smooth move girly, how we supposed to fight now."

Kevin says to Sophia in an "Oh no you din'int!" tone of voice.

[waterpenguin43]

(Jason)
Medusa grabs your sword and hisses, trying to look, once more, into your eyes. Behind her, Bryn raises a sword and leaps.

[Zexion]

Jeparo waves his hand and the Mist curls around the mortals in the cabin, convincing them that they are watching a particularly realistic TV swordfight.
Jeparo ducks out of the way and sends all three glaives spinning towards Medusa.
At the same time, the Flikes are moving towards Medusa's throat, aiming to pull her up into the air, helpless.

[Maximum Zersk]

Zero smirks.

"Fair enough, have it your way," he says. His voice is being overlayed by another one. One that sounds like a dagger across a rock.

Then, he stabs Medusa.

[Viera Champion]

Sure. I will in a sec.

Thera is pretty useless at the moment. She doesn't even know medusa is running at her.
Wait! Athena! I could use my mother's pendant to-
...
I swear to all the gods, if I get out of this alive, I will tie you up and throw you down a well Sophia.
Yet another revalation. She doesn't have her pendant.

[Creed]

With a cry of primal rage, Jason's canine teeth increase it size and he lunges at Medusa, trying hard to take her neck out in his mouth. NO MERCY.

[waterpenguin43]

The glaives cut through her throat, Bryn's sword comes down through her head and into her body like a skewer and Zero stabs her chest in one motion. She screams and crumbles into ash and smoke.

[Creed]

Jason falls to the ground, clutching at his mouth as blood pours from it. It's pooling on the floor quite rapidly.

[Viera Champion]

Thera still is covering her eyes.

[IcemanJRC]

"Can anyone help him? I can get a first aid kit?"

Kevin looks down at Jason and his pooling blood.

[icastflare!]

matt sighs thank the gods. if it wasnt for the damn slime, I doubt this would happen.Now lets just get own with the quest and get the hell back to camp.

Matt goes over to jason.Apollo is the god of medicine, maybe I can help.

[Creed]

NO! Jason croaks through the blood, in response to Kevin's question, as he stands up. The bleeding stopped, but his entire front side is covered in blood. Well, thats the end of the snake-whore, eh?

[Maximum Zersk]

Zero falls down, then wakes up a few seconds later, normal.

[IcemanJRC]

"Yes sir, no help indeed. Attention everybody, DO NOT HELP THIS YOUNG MAN!"

Kevin says the first part rather quickly, almost instinctively and the second part he makes sure EVERYONE in their train car can hear. Pointing to Jason the whole time.

"Oh dear, I shouldn't have said that."

Kevin slaps his mouth and then mumbles these words as people begin to stare.

[Creed]

Jason sifts through Medusa's dust for his weapons, and anything else he may find, like her beret. Berets are cool. Tough guys wear berets. He'll close his eyes if he feels a snke though, the head might be in there.

[Viera Champion]

Thera opens her eyes, and finds the beret first. Somehow, it managed to stay in one piece. She puts it on her head. She looks good in a beret. Then she turns her attention to Sophia.
You better start running bitch.

[Beans]

Ilja retracts her staff.
J-Jason...
She's a little freaked that her half-brother just went OM NOM crazy.

[Creed]

Before you ask I don't know what the deal with my teeth was. It's never happened before. I just.... had no other options. I hated her guts so much....and I just wanted to end it. Jason does not look up from the dust as he continues searching, but he pauses several times and his voice cracked about 7 times.

[Sahaar]

Weeel, that was fun. Jake says.

[Beans]

Ilja just steps forward and hugs her brother, glad he's okay.

[Creed]

Jason hugs her back and looks at Greg with a "She's just my sister" look.

[IcemanJRC]

"Awwwwwwwwwwww. Touching family moments."

Kevin does the 'Awwwwww' face and shakes his head dreamily.

[Creed]

Jason goes back to rooting through the dust and pulls out his kukri. I guess that's all thats in there. Jason gets a rag out of his duffel bag and sits down, trying hard to casually wipe the blood from his shirt and pants.

[Sahaar]

Good idea there, Jason.

Jake wipes the blood off his breastplate.

Wouldn't want to go scaring mortals now, would we?

[waterpenguin43]

(Matthew)
While Thera is distracted with Sophia, Julie grabs your arm. I love you. There, I said it. Please, can you be with me?

(Thera)
I never asked you to break into my cabin. Besides, she draws her bow. I'm armed.

[Beans]

Ilja sits down heavily.

[Creed]

(Thera)
I never asked you to break into my cabin. Besides, she draws her bow. I'm armed.



And so am I Sophia. Jason throws down his rag. I made a deal with Lucas, not you.

[bvdk99]

WP, does anything else happen at camp?

[icastflare!]

matts face turns red from blushing uh,erm..... I need to stop those 2 from killing each other matt trys to move away from the situation You can each kill each other, but try not to do it in public. It draws attention. the only way you could be more noticable is if you shouted out " Look at me, I am a demigod of pure power!"

[Creed]

Jason sits back down grumbling and goes back to work cleaning off.....

((OOC: Are we not suppose to get Medusa's head by killing her? Or does the beret have that power now?))

[IcemanJRC]

Kevin looks at Thera in Medusa's beret.

"Darling, you look positively stunning! The beret is very chic."

Kevin then beams at her.

((Magic berets would be awesome.))

[waterpenguin43]

((OOC: Are we not suppose to get Medusa's head by killing her? Or does the beret have that power now?))

That's only if you decapitate her, which you didn't.

At camp... Nothing out of the ordinary is happening, for now!!

[Creed]

Jason grabs a bag of Chex Mix out of his bag, still grumbleing, and starts to eat. Participating in saving gods is hungry work yaknow!

((OOC: I knew we should have cut her head off...))

[IcemanJRC]

((What kind of Chex Mix is it?))

[bvdk99]

(Wait, since Andrew is the only Hera camper.. should he be at the meeting?

[Creed]

((Original. The other kinds make me wanna puke :smallyuk:))

[IcemanJRC]

((You mean you don't like 'Sour Sweet Potato Cream & Onion'? Oh my god, please tell I'm not the only wo wants to puke when they hear that name for a flavor.))

[Creed]

(( You are not alone! Stay strong against bad names!))

[Zexion]

Jeparo snaps his fingers and several dozen tiny metal spheres fly up to land in a small pouch. He seals the pouch and puts it in his backpack.
Now he speaks to Kevin:
Who are you? It seems obvious that you are a demigod, so what is your divine parent? And, what are you doing on this train?

[bvdk99]

Daisy is confused. She has a big crush on Aaron, but she's also heard rumours that he likes Kalia (@CA: the name Kalia is hawaiian and it means tree, but you can change her name if you want), one of her cabinmates(Daisy lives in the demeter cabin). She is not an envious person, but she can't help but have a slight feeling of jealousy towards Kalia.

[IcemanJRC]

"You wanna know, do you? Well I work as a server for the dining car on this train, and my mommy is Iris."

Kevin is sitting on Lucas' lap again.

[Creed]

Jason finishes his Chex and goes back to the dust pile, blowing it away with battery powered fan. No one needs to ask how a giant pile of dust suddenly appear. Plus this is a very effeciant way of making sure were not missing anything in here...

[IcemanJRC]

"I actually know tons about you guys, Mommy tells me lots about her costumers. Your a son of Apollo, your a daughter of Hades, and your the most handsomest son of Ares I've ever seen."

Kevin points at Matt, Ilja and Lucas in that order.

[Zexion]

"You wanna know, do you? Well I work as a server for the dining car on this train, and my mommy is Iris."

Kevin is sitting on Lucas' lap again.

Ah. You do realize that Iris has joined the Titans and is an enemy of the Olympians, and therefore an enemy of us as well?

[Viera Champion]

Oh hey, Kevin's gay. Cool.:smalltongue:

Thera raises an eyebrow.
You're gonna shoot me? With that wimpy bow? Please.
Thera continues advancing.
By the way, what did you do to Matthew when you shot that arrow at him? Nothing seems to have happened yet.

[bvdk99]

Ah. You do realize that Iris has joined the Titans and is an enemy of the Olympians, and therefore an enemy of us as well?

what? no she hasn't!

[waterpenguin43]

(Wait, since Andrew is the only Hera camper.. should he be at the meeting?

Oh................... Right. He was there, then.

[IcemanJRC]

"You take that back you disgusting, lying meat head! I will not stand for such insolence!"

Kevin shouts at Jeparo, putting his two katars against his throat with in a second.
(One katar has a red, orange, and yellow ribbon on the end. The other has a blue, green, and purple ribbon. These ribbons are glowing and wrapping themselves around Jeparo's arms.)

"You are filthy! You aren't fit to speak the name of my mother!"

((Kurama: He's bisexual.))

[Creed]

Jason, clearing all the dust away, goes back to cleaning the blood off his shirt

[Viera Champion]

Thera stops approching Sophia as she sees Kevin attack Jeparo.
Stop it!

[IcemanJRC]

"Stay out of this! Insolence such as his is unacceptable!"

Kevin screams, the ribbons on his katar's gripping Jeparo's arms tighter and he presses the blades to Jeparo's throat, drawing a trickle of blood.

[Creed]

Kevin Jason stands up suddenly.
Put down yor weapons or you will regret it. We all have to deal with our parent's reps. Ilja and I have to more than others So drop the big knives and calm down.


WTF! Jason is solving a problem by talking instead of hurting someone

[IcemanJRC]

"Will you offer proper apology? Will you beg for forgiveness? Will you plead for the right to live? Will you lay down and submit to the judgment of my Mother!"

Kevin is furious now: his eyes bloodshot, his neck straining, and his teeth grinding.

[waterpenguin43]

STOP THIS!!!!!!!! screams Bryn. It seems a daughter of Poseidon has projected emotions, as Bryn's voice sounds like a tsunami. We don't know if that is the case!! Iris is missing, but who said she joined the titans!! She's just as likely to have joined them as Persephone or Aphrodite!!

[Creed]

Kevin. Calm down. Now. Jason's voice is becoming more and more commanding, more like the demeanor his father would carry.

[IcemanJRC]

"So then your insolence is not even confirmed!?"

Kevin is furious, but calming.

"Your pitiful..."

Kevin finishes with this statement, knees Jeparo in the stomach and then walks away to another set of seats with some other campers(perhaps Matt and Julie), brooding.

[Viera Champion]

Calm down Kevin. Jeparo didn't mean it, he just has a temper since he always used to get beat up by his fellow Ares brothers. Not all of us are asses like that bitch.
She motions to Sophia.

[Creed]

Jason collapses back in his seat, quietly chukleing. He turns to Greg and Ilja and whispers Took me forever to get that impersonation right.

[Zexion]

Jeparo snatches up the katars with one hand and he tosses them onto the ground.
I apologize. I believe that was an unnessecary confrontation. This train ride is nearly over, and when it ends, you will remain here. We will go on in our quest. Now, I believe you were saying something to Lucas?
He chuckles.

[IcemanJRC]

"I actually have to get off, I got my two weeks, well, two weeks ago... I got fired. And if you wouldn't be such an insolent prick, I never would have confronted you..."

Kevin looks at Jeparo with an unmatched hatred.

[waterpenguin43]

(At Camp)
Micheal, Arhtur, Ivan and Rachel guard the chasm that day. Nothing out of the ordinary happens.

[Zexion]

Listen punk, I don't have to put up with you, and I don't need to, because as soon as this train stops, we are leaving. You don't have to stay on this train, but you can't come with us. Understand?
Jeparo realizes what he's said and mutters a quiet sorry and then sits back down.

[bvdk99]

(At Camp)
Micheal, Arhtur, Ivan and Rachel guard the chasm that day. Nothing out of the ordinary happens.

(OOC: Will Andrew get a turn guarding it? Even though it's his 3rd day at camp, he still is head of Hera cabin.)

[waterpenguin43]

Bryn gives Jeparo a Poseidon glare. No. Iris is kidnapped, and her son has the right to try and save her. she says. Besides, now that Iris is missing, we will need someone else availiable as a messenger. I'm sure that this boy, Kevin, right? Will have some power to do that.
(
(OOC: Will Andrew get a turn guarding it? Even though it's his 3rd day at camp, he still is head of Hera cabin.)
Yes he will.)

[Zexion]

Jeparo looks at Bryn. Then he looks at Kevin. Then he looks at Bryn.
Fine... he says.
Sorry for what I said.


(OOC: Will Andrew get a turn guarding it? Even though it's his 3rd day at camp, he still is head of Hera cabin.)
No, he won't and that's because he has no experience. He might be the only Hera kid, but he doesn't know how to fight.

[IcemanJRC]

"I accept your apology. I think you may need me if my mother is gone. I have similar abilities and can be of aid. I would also like to make an apology to you. The way I acted was unacceptable. I am very intolerable of such things though, actually, that's why I got fired."

Kevin presents a small coin purse of drachma to Jeparo in a humble manner.

"I know this does not make up for it, but I hope this will put us at a neutral standing?"

[waterpenguin43]

And I am very sorry for what Jeparo said, as well. says Bryn. You had every right to attack him.
