CHILDREN OF OLYMPUS

Brøken_Serenity · Dec 27, 2015

Ai heard a lot of noise coming from down the hall and gripped Kira's arm, giving him a 'who the hell are these people' sort of look. Kira, as her twin, knew exactly what the look meant. He gave her a reassuring look and led Ai into the living room where there was a lot of noise. Ai looked at all the people gathered, giving them all the once over. One girl she identified as Lillith Moreno, Ai knew this because they both lived in the same part of New York, and Ai had been to the bar where she worked. It wasn't as if they talked though, Emi and Victoria snuck her into a bar to hang out with some senior boys and Ai read the name tag. She was only memorable because Ai remembered a fight breaking out while she was there. It ended up turning into a giant brawl and even Emi got into a slap-fight with another female.

After a few moments she realized what all she was wearing. She quickly took off her lab coat, goggles, ripped off her gloves and let her hair down. She wrapped the equipment up in the lab coat and put on her fur coat. She set her bundle down on a table but kept her purse on her arm. Kira snickered, but Ai ignored it. She couldn't help but feel entirely helpless without some sort of leader, Emi would of mentioned what she was wearing before she'd entered the living room. She felt a little out of place without Emi parading her around like her prized puppy. She quickly got herself together even though she was a little embarrassed. Instead of blushing her body simply glowed and glittered in the colors of the rainbow. It was out of her control.

"Hey guys, so, are you all... I mean, can you.." Kira tripped on his words a little, trying to find out if they were all demi-gods. "I mean, can you- my goddess." Kira crossed his arms. It was Ai's turn to snicker, for once Kira was at a lack of words.

"Gods help us." Ai muttered under her breath, she tried to visually figure out whether or not they knew what they were doing there. Lillith looked like she did, they'd wandered in right as she marched confidently in the place. She looked in charge of her own surroundings which meant she had to know- or Emi had a twin she didn't know about. Another male (Donovan but at this point Ai didn't know his name) looked scared entirely shitless. It was obvious he didn't know. One by one she deduced like that, everyone who looked scared most likely didn't know.

Ai finally stopped oozing rainbow sparkles out of her pores and looked normal again. "Pure curiosity, does everyone else here know why they're here?" Ai asked, but she spoke in Greek. It was a language she wasn't trained in but somehow could speak and understand. Kira was the same way, Ai assumed that if the rest of them were descended from Gods they would be able to understand her. If they didn't she'd just make up something about being born in Greece.

Kira suddenly darted his eyes to the door in front of them. They were currently in some sort of study but down the hallway there seemed to be a lot of noise. Ai gave him a sort of 'what-the-fuck-who-are-they' look. Kira tried to give her a warm glance to reassure her- though not entirely understanding why they were using the glance system when it would be easier to speak telepathically. He figured Ai wouldn't go in by herself so he led the way down the hall into what seemed like a living area. He looked around to see if he'd recognize anybody and he did recognize one person, Lillith Moreno. They happened to both live in the same part of New York city. He was friends with a bunch of guys who'd sneak him into bars and clubs. At one particular bar he'd tried hitting on her but the next minute there was some sort of altercation and the police were called.

I can't think of any good pick up lines.... oh wait- the I'm no superman line is always a classic. Then the phone one, if it's timed really well I could even use the heaven one but instead of heaven it's Olympus!

Kira was distracted when he saw Ai disrobing next to her, at first he was freaked out then realized she was simply taking off all her lab equipment. Kira chuckled, thinking it was funny how unnecessarily self conscious she was. Afterwards she begun oozing rainbows out of her pores. She was just glittering and sparkling rainbow colors all over. Kira inwardly sighed, that was probably the worst first impression she could make if everyone in that room was in fact a normal human being.

"Hey guys, so, are you all... I mean, can you.." Kira begun, then realized he couldn't just ask them if they knew their parents were gods or goddesses. Or at least, one of them was. He couldn't find a good way to put the question, there was no good way to put the question. "I mean, can you- my goddess." Kira crossed his arms in frustration and turned his head the other way, trying to put the words 'do you know you're related to greek mythology' in a way that wouldn't have people trying to put him in a mental institution. As if in revenge, Ai chuckled at his failure to communicate.

"Gods help us." Ai sighed but hen continued, "Pure curiosity, does everyone else here know why they're here?" Except the question bounced around in his head a little before in translated. He realized she'd asked the question in Greek. Greek was the language of the Gods so it would only make sense they'd have to have the same translation mechanic they had. Especially if they had a parent like Iris who insisted in only speaking to them in Greek rather than good old English.

If they didn't know, it would be an amazing prank to speak to them telepathically and watch them in their confusion Kira though as he smirked to himself.

SilentDiscort · Dec 27, 2015

As he woke up that morning he turned to look outside the window of this old rustic building staring into the beautiful sunrise. Feeling that sun beating across his face through the glass. Andre began to get dressed and prepared himself by going for a mild run and some training before tonight. He was currently staying in Prague getting ready for an underground fight he had. After he finished up with his training, Andre returned to his apartment that a friend was letting him stay at for the week. Andre just spent the remaining hours before the match calmly waiting with the hope of finally having a match worth his talents. He started to fill up his duffel bag with all his clothes before walking down town to an abandoned building where the fight was going to be held.

As he approached this old building a large man stopped him at the door, refusing him entry.
This is a private party,[BCOLOR=#000000]Where do you think your'e going? [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=#000000]I'm one of the fighters for tonight, Andre Drakas[/BCOLOR] .
The man paused for a moment radioing his boss and seconds later allowed the young man entrance.Yeah I understand, just follow that guy over there. See? You should listen.
Andre was escorted by another smaller man downstairs leading to a narrow corridor until he ended up in a large underground space resembling a theatre. The man running the show switched the roster and placed Andre to fight a far more experienced fighter. This man was an enforcer for the mob and has yet to lose a single match. This made Andre intrigued and didn't bother to question anything since they were willing to pay him 20,000 Euros if he won.
He walked into his change room, to wrap up his hands before he was sent in to fight.

The man he was matched with was a beastly creature that just stared at Andre like a wild dog waiting to tear his flesh. Andre smiled with his evil grin before the announcer rang the bell. Without a moment to react the man lunged forward striking Andre across his face. Andre took the hit trying to gauge his strength, the man attempted to strike at Andre a second time but Andre had already moved in and gave him a strong cross on his cheek. Andre and the man continued to pound upon one another, an Andre finally saw an opponent worth his strength. So Andre leaped forward kicking the man across the face which caused the man to fall to the floor, Andre smiled .
That's not very exciting. Is that really all you can do?

The man pounded on the floor and Andre noticed his eyes changed for a moment, now Andre was confused at what he just saw so he stared blankly and the man used that time to punch Andre in the face. Andre took a few steps back, shaking his head from the blow. Andre enjoyed that knowing that this man can really hit. The man attempted to try to a few body shots on Andre but was properly dodged and Andre kneed him in the face and struck him down with one final blow before landing back on his feet. Andre just stood there and the man was incapable and getting back on his feet, before passing out. Andre walked then walked over to collect his earnings.

The man that arranged the fights was very impressed. You really know how to fight kid,Why don't you fight for me? Andre grabbed the cash from his hands. No thanks man, just find me guys like him and I'll come back.
Andre walked to the change room to get dressed. He walked over to the bar and grabbed himself a large bottle of beer and stepped outside in the alley to enjoy his beer and a smoke. He chugged back half the beer, feeling quite proud of himself and then lit his cigarette. Taking a deep drag of the smoke he exhaled and didn't even realize the man standing there to the side until he spoke.

You got some nice moves there. the man looked as though he has had his fair share of fighting. Andre filled with both fear and excitement. Andre knew that the man was very strong but he really wanted to fight him for some reason. I'm not here to fight you,I can feel how much you probably want to right now. Andre laughed You must be really strong then. Who are you anyway? The name's Ares. Andre sitting there staring at him as he takes another drag before responding with a smirk comment. So is this where we hug it out? Ares shrugged his head at him.

If your anything like your old man, you know we don't do hugs. At the same time they both say, I don't trust hugs . Then Ares sits down next to Andre, and he offers him some beer. Ares takes a gulp and hands it back to him and then stands back up. So how did it feel fighting that thing? It was weird actually, when I took him down, I could swear his eyes seemed to changed. That makes sense, you did pissed off a ogre. Seriously? I was wondering how he got all that strength from. Ares tells him in a sterns voice. you got to come with me, so drink up. Andre finished his beer stands up from the curb and asks him why? Ares tells him he can explain on the way. Andre decides to agree since this is the first time that he has met his father. So where are we going? You'll see.

Ares leads Andre to a bar and order a round of drinks and Andre also orders himself some food. I'm glad your a good fighter,but it wont be enough to win against Pandora. You're kidding me right? you going to need to use that rage of yours. What are you talking about, what rage? You have the ability to create fire from you anger. You just need to control it that's all.

Ares gets up to leave the bar. Time to go. Wait where are we going now? There's a house in London, You will understand when you get there. Andre steps outside and follows Ares to the alleyway where he is surrounded by a ball of fire.
Before Andre could respond, Ares has already vanished, and Andre is transported into the home. He looks around at everyone. Hey hows it going?

[fieldbox='Rayne Walker, purple']Rayne raised a brow as she looked back towards the young man across from her, he spoke be he had also convinced himself that he was delusional. "Okay hey, listen to me." She approached him and put a hand on his shoulder. "You are not dreaming, this is real. Everything you've seen is real." She explained. Looking over her shoulder she glared at the obnoxious dark haired girl that came down the stairs complaining about all of them being too loud. It seemed like she would be one to cause trouble. Rayne wasn't ready to get involved with that. The footsteps of others approaching was clear in her ears but she chose to keep her focus on the man that was freaking out. Everyone else seemed fairly calm, he was the one that was having difficulties. "You're here because—" She stopped talking as she heard someone speak in Greek. Looking over her shoulder Rayne was shocked to see two people that seemed like siblings, both of Asian decent by the looks of it. "I know why I'm here." She spoke simply to answer the question. Her attention was quick to return to the other young man as something was happening behind him. Rayne placed another hand on his shoulder and tried her best to keep his gaze so he wouldn't freak out by the ball of fire that was forming by the entrance to the apartment. "You're here because you're a demi-god. We all are, whether directly descended from their bloodlines or a few generations in." She looked passed the man's shoulder as another young man approached the small group in the main room. "It's a lot to take in, I know BUT it's the truth, if you don't believe me that's fine but people will be here shortly to explain the exact same thing, Then again." She dropped her arms from the man's shoulders. "It might be more convincing from the gods themselves." She shrugged slightly. "Listen, okay, you saw me turn into a dog, if that's not enough to convince you there's more than meets the eye going on here then I dunno what I can tell you. I mean can do it again if you want? I have no problem with that." She smiled softly with a chuckle. "You'll be fine, you're not drunk and this isn't a dream." Rayne pointed at him and hit his shoulder lightly. "Names Rayne by the way. Nice to meet you." She kept her amber eyes on his blue ones. "But if you'll excuse me" She showed him her cigarette. "I'm gonna go for a smoke." She placed it between her lips. "Take a deep breath and accept it, you're just more than human, that's all." She raised her arms in a shrug as she walked towards the large sliding doors that led outside.

Shutting the door behind her she lit the cigarette and approached the pool area. There was another woman outside, a towel wrapped around her head but she was fully clothed. Odd really. Was she another one that didn't know what she was? Or was she aware and just anti-social? She seemed angry and Rayne didn't really want to pour gas onto the fire. She kept to her own business as she just paced slightly, taking drags from her cigarette every few steps. The sky seemed to be clearing up, that was a good thing. This apartment complex was also phenomenal, the shared rooms were a bit of a bummer but everything else was nice, clean and elegant, Rayne just hoped the new residents didn't make too much of a mess.[/fieldbox]

MotherOfCthulhu · Dec 28, 2015

[fieldbox="Elin, Blue, Solid"]

Holding the cappuccino between her hands she warmed them, her head swimming in a vast ocean of confusion and suspicion. Nothing honestly made much sense to her but at least she was warming up and drying off. With her phone in front of her she had scrolled through news feeds and attempted a few other phonecalls. Apparently her phone didnt' work in this country though and she'd have to get some kind of international top up card. She had used napkins to dry off her belongings as best she could and pulled little bits from the pastry to chew on while she tried to make sense of what was happening. The nice serving man looked over from time to time, keeping an eye on her and even when she didn't see him looking she knew he was watching. The stares from the customers around her had lessened greatly, the novelty gone from a wet little foreign girl and the coffee house was alive with the noise of any busy place.

"I guess it's still not making much sense, huh?" Came a calm voice from right in front of her. She felt her heart hammer but she felt no hostility in the voice and she rose her gaze from her drink to the well dressed man sat at her table with her. He was tall and broad, he had a prideful look but his eyes were soft. She smiled faintly, although the nonsense of a man appearing from nowhere did flicker into her mind it was brushed aside at the calm aura she felt around her.
"Not really."
"I'm sorry, I was...detained and couldn't meet you myself, how did you get here?"
"Rhea."
"Oh..." There was an awkward pause, Elin didn't know why she was being so honest with this stranger, she didn't know him and yet she felt like she'd known him all her life, like he'd always been around her in some way.
"She...wasn't that bad don't worry." Elin said breaking the silence and sipping her coffee, it was almost like she couldn't feel anxious right now. She felt safe.
"Your Grandmother can be a very interesting person, I'm sorry about that."
"I guess that makes you...?"
"Your father."
"I see."
"Poseidon."
"Of course."
"You don't believe me do you?"
"I don't know what I believe anymore."
"Your favourite colour is gold, everyone assumes it would be blue but it's not. You first went swimming when you were a year old, you hated it, the water was too cold and too still and it took your mother a long time to get you back in a pool without screaming. Your favourite animal is a squid, people assume dolphin of course and are confused why you like squids, you are too but you think they look beautiful when they move. That dolphin bracelet was a present your first boyfriend got you, you wear it not because you miss him but because you like the way it feels. When you were little you honestly wanted to grow up and be a mermaid, a real one, but everyone laughed at you so you didn't think about it anymore after that." Elin's hands shook faintly and she put her cup down, many of the things the man had said he'd have no way of knowing, not unless he had been watching her for a long time.
"How do..."
"You used to have nightmares, the scariest one was being caught in a net by fisherman but you never spoke to anyone about it as you didn't want them to laugh."
"It was..."
"Terrifying." They said in unison, she smiled faintly and took a long slow breath.
"So that makes me a..."
"Demi-god yes. Is this a lot to take in?"
"Yeah...it's okay keep going."
"So your grandmother brought you to this city to train, to learn and to...keep you safe. Not that fighting monsters is safe and I really don't agree with my brother on this one. I mean why's he putting my children at ris..." He stopped when Elin's hand rested on his, the stormy gods eyes had turned a darker grey, the ground had trembled faintly, she looked less afraid and more concerned. "Sorry, that's between me and him."
"Monsters."
"Don't believe in them?"
"If you exist so can they."
"You're very calm."
"I guess I get that from my father." The old god grinned faintly, "Does mother know, of what you are? Who you are?"
"No. She never did. I couldn't bring myself to tell her."
"It's okay."
"You need to head back to Brownstone, to that house, there's others like you there and the people who will train you." Elin sighed faintly, she finished her pastry and her coffee and pocketed the remainder of her things.
"Can I...say thank you to the barista first? He helped me."
"Of course but don't get too attached to him." Elin nodded faintly and took a napkin, borrowing a pen off the other barista's she scribbled a thank you note for the man who helped her and returned to her father's side. He took her arm and with nary a sound they were gone, unnoticed by all in the coffee shop.

"I don't doubt that later you will have many questions for me later, if you call for me I'll try and answer them. Be safe my Elin." And then there she was, standing by the pool, dry as a bone not two feet from where she'd jumped to escape the place a little while before. None of it made sense to her, she wasn't sure how much of it she truly believed but she knew what she'd felt. When looking at his eyes he didn't seem to be lying, he seemed concerned and worried not devious. Though she'd always wondered, the tube while she did her performances, she had rarely used it for the last six months. She'd forgotten one time, while doing her show, to use it at all. It was only at the end when she had pulled herself from the water that she'd realised she hadn't gone to it. Thinking it a fluke she did nothing about it for a week until curiosity started getting the best of her. She'd timed herself, ten minutes was the most she'd done before her brain told her she simply had to surface. She hadn't told anyone, ten minutes wasn't possible on one breath, not without strict training in that regard and even then.

Shaking her head she glanced to those on the balcony with her, her eyes itched and while she smiled she excused herself, briefly rubbing at one eye and heading to the doors by the pool. Many people were gathering now, talking about things. Slipping inside she stood by a wall, there were a bunch of people here, none of them made sense. Though she glanced to the sofa as someone began to twitch and move on it, he didn't look good. Crossing the room she stopped close to the couch, "Hey, are you alright?"

[fieldbox="Haris Clifton, Orange, dashed, 10"] Haris stood in silence as he watched his father's chariot disappear into the night sky and sighed. He then looked around as he tried to figure out what to do next. It was starting to rain and the last thing he wanted was to be stuck out here until someone came to get him. He'd catch a cold or worse if he stayed out in the rain too long. Where was he again though? London? He had never been to London but had heard it was a lovely town. He wondered if they'd be allowed some free time and would be allowed to go explore the city.

However those thoughts were quickly cleared from his head as a flash of thunder went off right above his head. He let out a surprised yelp and quickly hit the ground in an attempt to avoid getting electrocuted. Only a minute later another flash of lightning struck. This time it hit the roof of the building causing the entire building to shake. Haris's eyes went wide at the lightning bolt and feared that something was attacking the building. Was Zeus angry at them for something already? What had the others done to piss him off already that he would attack the building that was supposed to keep them safe?!

"Z..Zeus! I..I don't know what we did to upset you already but..please! We're sorry!" He was obviously just speaking to the rain and wind at this point since Zeus wasn't actually listening. With one final strike on the building a lightning bolt hit and shook the building to it's core one last time before in it's place stood a young man. Lucas stood for only a moment before his legs gave out beneath him and he hit the roof hard. Haris actually winced as he saw the guy hit the roof. That was going to leave a mark.

Haris glanced around for a sign that anyone else was coming but..saw nothing. He swallowed hard and unsteadily climbed to his feet before he hurried over to the man. He quickly rolled him over onto his back and put his ear to his chest. He had a heartbeat..that was a good first sign and he was clearly breathing but..what was wrong with him? His face was bruised and his breathing was ragged and uneven. Someone or something had put this guy through hell and Haris wasn't sure he would make it without some kind of medical attention.

Haris knew that officially you shouldn't move an injured person till you knew what was wrong with them..but this was a special case. With careful hands he gently slipped his arms underneath the unconscious lucas and picked him up. Glancing around he could make out the hatch that led to the roof and quickly moved open. Kicking the door open he hurried inside the building before shutting the door behind him and making his way down the steps.

When he emerged from the steps he found himself on the top floor of the building they were in..probably where the bedrooms were. He was about to start going door to door when he heard voices from the floor below. He couldn't make out what they were saying but he figured that they must be the other Demi-gods that had been chosen for the mission. He only hoped that maybe one of them could help. Without wasting anytime Haris hurried down the halls still carrying the limp Lucas in his arms and made his way down the steps.

What he found was a room so amazing and so well furnished that under normal circumstances it would have taken his breath away. But these weren't normal circumstances. He had a guy in his arms that was unconscious and probably dying and he had no idea what to do. He looked to the side and saw the other Demi-gods standing nearby conversing with each other and shook his head. "H..Hey! I need some help over here!" He quickly moved Lucas to one of the free couches and laid him down and looked back at the others as he waited for them to come over "I..I don't know what's wrong with him. He's unconscious and he's hardly breathing..what breathing he is doing is ragged and rough..I think he may have some busted ribs."

SilentDiscort · Dec 28, 2015

Andre looked around and started to laugh as Rayne walked away after her performance, thinking that these are some interesting individuals . He hears a loud thud from the upper floor, then someone comes down the stairs dragging another who seemed to be unconscious. As the man puts the body down, Andre approaches the man and kneels down to hear his heartbeat, then places a hand on the broken rib.
Well it's not broken at least, just keep an eye on him so he doesn't move around to much for a while. Andre reaches into his duffel bag and hands a beer over to Harris.
Here! This should calm your nerves down. Names Andre by the way. Andre then leans out his hand to shake before going upstairs.

Andre decided to use this time of confusion amongst the others to go upstairs for a moment and drop his valuables in one of the rooms. he opened the door and placed his bag onto the bed. The bag felt oddly heavier leaving Andre questioning, so He opened the duffel bag and pulled out a unique looking black dagger with a strange hilt. He could only assume that Ares must have placed it in his bag before transporting him here. Why did you leave me blade and not tell me? he asked out loud. Andre noticed a note with very little writing on it.
This should help you with what's to come, just be careful using it. He noticed a symbol engraved on the blade. it was an anvil with a flame, not anything he recognized.

Andre thought that he could get more information if he went back downstairs and listened to everyone, but not before stepping outside for a smoke. He realized Rayne went to the backyard, and probably wanted to be left alone for a while. So he decided he would sit on the front porch and relax with another beer before he engaged further with any of them.

Andre took his remaining five beers an walked downstairs thinking as he glanced at the others in the room. He could already tell that some of them were quite capable of battle, yet he was questioning if the others had the capacity to face an enemy when it could mean certain death.
Andre knew that some of them would need some training, but he wasn't the type to offer help to just anyone.
He could hear all of them talking back and forth but luckily no one paid much attention to Andre, as we quickly closed the door behind him.

Andre sat down and cracked open a beer, his heart beating faster with a sensation he hasn't felt for some time. After Ares told him about Pandora's box and remembering all the stories he heard as a child, he was sure that a strong opponent was drawing near. Andre hasn't felt this excitement since he was a child. His foster dad decided to put strong opponent against Andre when he was training him, to make sure Andre would understand he was not invincible. That only made Andre's thirst to fight stronger opponents more evident.

Andre then lighting his cigarette and feeling the cool air on his face, began to question what exactly are they going to have us do? As he began to start asking questions he began to think back, he knew he should be cautious. I wonder what the rest of them can do? as he smiled looking up at the sky.

[fieldbox="Sandy, Gold, Solid"]

It was another boring day at the office, Nic was sat as he always was, behind his desk in a little sterile white and grey cubicle in a big maze of cubicles in an equally bland office. Every so often the phone rang and his headset, picked it up. "Good Afternoon you're through to Nic Sands, at first line support how can I help you?" There would be a pause and a line he couldn't help but insert, "Well, have you tried turning it off and turning it back on again?" It was surprising how often that would work for most computer issues, it was surprising how many people would phone up and you'd go through the entire script to diagnose the problem and ask 'have you plugged it in' and they go 'well no'. It was surprising since his desk supported shops, not little ones, big ones, big chain restaurants and supermarkets, british airways and their IT guy had set up the PC but had not plugged it in. These were the people checking your food, totting up your bill and directing your planes and they didn't know how to plug in a computer. It annoyed so many of his colleagues but he found it quaint and amusing.

This person didn't find his little quib amusing and he apologised, getting through the call in a calm manner and resolving the problem before glancing at the time. Flicking off his headset he diverted his phone to someone else's and stood with a long and languid stretch. He loved stretching, it was strange but he did. There was something so relaxing and yet so invigorating about just stretching. Giving a small wave to his coworker he head out and down the hall, slipping through a pass activated door to head into the cafeteria and order himself a light lunch. He had an hour for his break and so he knew he could spend forty five minutes buying, then eating his lunch while staring out of his favourite window at the small patch of grass, large tree and the pigeons that pranced about it. It was certainly a stark contrast to all the bland colours in that bland office. Vibrant greens and yellows, splotches of white and red in the grass from wild flowers, very relaxing.

With lunch done he head back upstairs, swiping in but turning down the hall to the gents room. Seeing to his business he paused at the sinks, washed his hands and splashed some cool water on his face. It was getting to that time of day where honestly, he just wanted to have a little nap. No such luck of course, drying his hands and patting his face dry he readjusted the top of his shirt, he hated having the top button done up, and ran a hand through his hair.

His own dark eyes were met by a pair just as dark, feathered golden wings sprouting from the temple and a mess of dark golden hair fell across the face of a relaxed looking chap in the mirror who yawned and stretched much in the same manner that Nic did. "Really?" Nic commented with an amused expression, the figure blinked lazily then gave a haphazard smile and a slight shrug of his shoulder. He pouted, quiet a moment before holding up a finger, "Wait for what?" Nic asked.

The first time the strange man in the mirror appeared was when he was six, his mother and father hadn't believed him and after six sessions with a psychiatrist they said it was just a childhood coping mechanism that he'd grow out of. Any time he mentioned it seemed to upset his parents so he'd stopped mentioning it, although the guy had never really gone away. If Nic was more of a panicky sort he'd probably have been scared, some weird anime like character appearing in a mirror and talking - well signing- at him, however he wasn't that bothered by him. Whoever the winged guy was hadn't asked him to do anything bad, in fact most of the time he just listened and coined little tricks on his side of the mirror. Nic had assumed it was now an adult coping mechanism and never really questioned it.

The silent golden mime went through several charades and having played this game a lot Nic kept up as best as one could, "There are monsters coming, big things are happening, I have to go with you somewhere...safe?" Nic blinked and the guy in the mirror nodded. Then for the first time in his life the hallucination moved, a large hand made its way to the front of the mirror which rippled like water as first his fingers then his hand pushed through the glass to grab hold of Nic's shoulder. With a tug that was surprising in strength; considering that the being was seemingly hardly trying, Nic stumbled into the sink and shut his eyes.

It had finally happened, he'd gone insane, though insanity was cooler than he thought. literally cool. He felt a coolness pass over his body and when he opened his eyes he stood on a stream of golden sand, the full girth of his mirror friend in plain sight. The man had released Nic and Nic glanced over his shoulder to where he could see the mirror looking back out into the bathroom. For a minute he was stunned but then his friend was tapping an impatient foot and Nic chose to follow.

His friend seemed to consider something, his mouth opening for the first time then quickly falling shut again, Nic almost laughed and put his hands behind his back. "Well, let's play our game shall we? I'm guessing you want to tell me something." The figure nodded, "However you aren't sure you should, a secret perhaps?" The figure fidgetted but kept walking down the long winding path of golden sands, there was something in the distance but it was too small for Nic to make out at the moment. "If it is a secret it's probably a big one right? Something that will change everything." The winged figure seemed momentarily surprised but Hypnos should have known his son would be this intuitive, they'd played these sorts of games since he was a baby. He nodded lightly again, "You can't, or perhaps won't talk to me because you don't know if you should say anything or not?" A smaller nod this time, "You said monsters, is my life in danger?" Hypnos' winged ears slipped low and he frowned lightly, nodding sadly. "Well, that's not great news but I'm not dead yet right? So, we're going somewhere I can be safe?" Hypnos held his hand flat and tilted it back and forth a bit, Nic laughed, "Safeish. I can cope with that, so. Honestly? I don't think there's anything to lose by telling me the secret, right?"

The god seemed unsure and then he shrugged and nodded, with one hand he seemed to scoop golden sand from the inky blackness they were walking in and with a gentle blow on it the god was able to turn the sand into a scene, his power controlling the dust. He showed Nic how he was conceived that night and whisked away out of his reach, how that all the while as Nic had grown fearsome monsters had grown too until finally a large man with a big beard and thunderbolts seemed to frown and yell at something and then with a clap of his hands the dust and the scene vanished and he offered a faint shrug. "So, okay, mum was in Greece with dad, they had a fight, she met you and you had a passionate night together. Mum then left with me in her belly and her none the wiser, she didn't even remember you? That's harsh. I was born but at the same time some big bad things were happening and then some big guy on a throne with...Zeus? Looked like Zeus, got all flustered because of these bad things and is... well I'm not sure you lost me there. So, my psychosis is my dad, my dad is friends with Zeus, my dad lives in a mirror and is a bit like the Sandman if I'm honest with myself -rise of the guardians, awesome movie you should watch it- Zeus was greek pantheon so that would make you. wow I wish I had paid more attention in class...wait, Hypno, no that's a pokemon, Hypnos?" The god nodded with a small smile and gave a silent sigh, they'd almost reached their destination it seemed.

The thing they'd moved towards was another aperture, another mirror and they paused just in front of it. From this side of the mirror Nic could see a hugely lavish room, dotted with many strange and varied people. Who were in all manner of postures and places, seems something big was about to happen. "This is bizarre. But. You've never guided me wrong before." Hypnos shrugged and Nic smiled, offering a chipper wave before putting his hand to the surface of what ought to be glass, again it was cool to the touch and while firm it was not hard. Slowly he pushed his fingers through it before glancing back to Hypnos and then to the room, "This is perhaps the weirdest dream I've had, even weirder than you and some pretty dude relaxing by a lake or something." Hypnos smiled faintly, he knew the memory of which Nic spoke, he and Thanatos by the banks of the river Lethe. Apparently, some of what the god remembered leaked into his son, how interesting it would be to see how much...should his boy survive what was to come.

Nic didn't wait longer and stepped through the portal, coming to the other side he tried to avoid, and failed, kicking a bowl of potpourri and he winced as it clattered in the room. The tension in the air was almost palatable. Coming all the way through he found it almost impossible to balance and hopped neatly down to the ground brushing off his suit and glancing to the room around him, "My bad, awful sorry about that, I'll tidy it up." Glancing behind him he saw Hypnos as he had in the mirror at work and as always, the god faded until there was nothing but his own face staring back at him. Trippy.

DONOVAN & AUGUST

Donovan looked at Lilith who offered him a Gum. He looked back at her in the eyes and smirked, '' In your fucking dreams you weirdo. You probably rubbed it up your ass or something. Ain't going to fall for that. '' he said as he looked at everyone else shaking his head not believing this girl would offer him a gum. He didn't take found from strangers, mainly because he often do pranks involving that and he knew better. He rubbed his head a bit as he couldn't stand the smell of rotten corpse. He immediately assumed it was the girl that honestly looked fucking cray cray and he just pushed himself to look at everyone else.

His eyes squinted a bit from the bright light and the amount of noise, he didn't quite like it and just ended up getting asked by some girl.

" Hey, are you alright?'' Elin asked.

Donovan didn't even know the girl and honestly, it was strange to see a girl actually ask him. It wasn't something he was used to- to be asked how he was, it is. His first reaction was to reach for his cheek that was still bleeding. He frowned, '' Yeah i'm cool. But i'm not sure if I understand what that freak is saying. '' he admitted as he heard things of dogs and shit like transformation and Gods. He noticed how the young man looked at her, curious yet scared.

'' What the hell is this girl spurting out? She sounds like an idiot. Their ain't no shit as Gods. That's all myths and shit, '' he said out loud looking at her leave for a smoke.

Meanwhile, August ended up looking at the girl go towards the pool where another girl sat. He could see it since the patio was partially opened and the door were sliding glass. He couldn't be bothered with the loud guy, so he rather followed the girl that seemed to know a lot about all of this.

He followed her carefully since he wasn't too sure what he was dealing with. He then placed a hand on her shoulder and looked at her with creased eyebrows, '' What do you mean I'm a demigod? I'm just human. Like with flesh and bones, and i have two parents who are purely human. Except if you tell me that my father with a beer guts and talks welsh is a god, i don't.. understand what you mean. '' he said looking at her confused.

[fieldbox=Arabesque Celesta, #ff8106, solid]

Ara wiped the lens of her glasses with the burgundy sleeve, trying to calm herself down a little. Nerves about strangers and suddenly being in a place that was definitely not Michigan were making the young blonde start to convince herself that she was either dreaming or a whole other level of insane. She was brought out of her contemplating thoughts by a sudden interruption of a feminine voice.
"If you find out what this is, please tell the rest of us. For I have no idea at least" Arabesque looked at the owner of the new voice filling the room. A blonde woman, with blue eyes, was leaning on the wall, talking to the man who was screaming before. Where did she come from? Thinking to herself, she paused what she was doing. At least she wasn't the only person who didn't have a clue what was going on.

"If you need something to wash the glasses with, I can always see if there is something in the kitchen to use." The comment was directed at herself, Ara knew that much. Shaking her head, a smile somehow found it's way onto her lips. At least she was sane enough to not have a mental breakdown in front of other people. Finding her voice, she replied back to the stranger who was offering help. "No thanks, I think they're fine now." Placing the glasses back on, she heard the thumping of another person as they walked down the stairs, dressed in a t-shirt and jeans. The woman's black hair and piercings were at least somewhat comforting to see, as they reminded the teen of her home.
"I apologize for what you just witnessed, I didn't mean to freak anyone out. I uh–I thought the situation was different." She spoke calmly as she looked at all of them, approaching the man who screamed before. "I know it was weird but...It's something I've been able to do for some time. Do you not know why you're here?" She turned around to face the others. Arabesque was officially confused, did something happen before she got here? But the question she posed captured her interest. Why was she here? She realized that while her mom told her that she was going to 'train', but for what? And why did it seem like this person knows something the rest of them do not? Before she could ask the woman, the man who was freaking out before engaged first.
"Excuse me? Do I know where I am? Am I...suppose to know?" He then began to mumble something about being in a bar and naughty dreams, something which Ara did not want to know about. Just then, a man sat up on the couch, making her realize that one, there was a couch, and two, there was a man on the couch. "Man, did I die?"
This was followed by yet another stranger, this one a woman with stark black hair. "Dear Gods, ya'll are loud," she said, her accent something unrecognizable to Arabesque, as the stranger pulled a piece of gum from her pocket and placed it in her mouth. "I mean seriously, people are trying to go about their business, ya'll don't have to give them headaches too," The statement made Ara feel guilty, even if it wasn't completely her fault. "Gum?" she asked, smiling at the small crowd that was forming. "No thank you," She murmured, offering a small smile of apology and turning her attention to the other dark-haired female that was currently talking to the group. "You're here because—"
She was interrupted by another voice, saying something in a foreign language that was indecipherable to the platinum blonde. Looking over, she saw what seemed to be a pair of siblings, a boy and a girl. "I know why I'm here." It was a simple answer, which lead Arabesque to believe that it was a simple question of why they were here. "You're here because you're a demi-god. We all are, whether directly descended from their bloodlines or a few generations in." She looked passed the man's shoulder, and Ara followed her eyes to see a young man suddenly in the room. "It's a lot to take in, I know, BUT it's the truth, if you don't believe me that's fine but people will be here shortly to explain the exact same thing, Then again, it might be more convincing from the gods themselves." She shrugged slightly, her arms already away from the man's shoulders. "Listen, okay, you saw me turn into a dog, if that's not enough to convince you there's more than meets the eye going on here then I dunno what I can tell you. I mean can do it again if you want? I have no problem with that." She smiled softly with a chuckle. "You'll be fine, you're not drunk and this isn't a dream."
"Names Rayne by the way. Nice to meet you."
"But if you'll excuse me" She showed him her cigarette. "I'm gonna go for a smoke." She placed it between her lips. "Take a deep breath and accept it, you're just more than human, that's all."

Rayne left, leaving everybody to their own thoughts. Arabesque sighed, a bit discouraged that she didn't get to ask why all of them were there, but at the same time she was glad that she wasn't insane.
Then she realized what exactly Rayne had told the other man.
Wait, she turned into a dog? Wouldn't that be painful?

Before she could get too deep in her thoughts, she was once again brought back to reality by another new voice.
"H..Hey! I need some help over here!"
A guy had entered the room, another being carried on his back. Laying the and looked back at the others as he waited for them to come over.
"I..I don't know what's wrong with him. He's unconscious and he's hardly breathing...what breathing he is doing is ragged and rough..I think he may have some busted ribs."
While Arabesque wasn't an expert in medicine or anything like that, she did have a vague concept of the human body and whatnot (even if she was never properly trained, she's taken care of herself and her mother before), and she also knew that if the man lying on the couch did break his ribs, there was a potential chance he could have punctured a lung, depending on how it broke.

Luckily though, it never came to that, because the person who came in just before them had approached said victim, kneeling down for a few seconds before standing back up. "Well it's not broken at least, just keep an eye on him so he doesn't move around to much for a while.' Reaching into his duffel bag, the man handed a bottle of what Ara assumed was beer to the other kid.
"Here! This should calm your nerves down. Names Andre by the way."
Every fiber in her body screamed that this man was dangerous, so Ara simply stayed out of the way and watched as Andre left. She still had no clue what was going on, but decided that she should put her stuff away before something important happened. Walking up the stairs, she walked into what appeared to be a vacant room, setting her guitar and bag down on the bed, before making her way back down the stairs.

Nat · Dec 28, 2015

The blonde remained by the wall as more and more people appeared, some going to the sofas, some just walking, some leaving the room and some staying in the room. Really, how was anyone supposed to figure out who anyone was with how quickly everything was moving here? No, that would not happen. No chance in hell that she would manage to recognize them all and learn their names with how quickly they all appeared. But the blonde with the glasses said it was all alright, so she put her focus back on all the guys who kept coming around and what not. How were anyone meant to learn anything here? And there was those two who looked... asian? Who spoke in another language. And it sounded well... Greek. Not as in the 'That's greek to me' way, but the actual language. She didn't speak it herself, but she had helped more than just one customer who spoke greek and not spanish through the years, so she was familiar with the language. Just not familiar enough to speak it.

Figuring she could just as well return to the silence of the kitchen, she left the livingroom where everyone was gathering for now, and went to the kitchen, starting to find glasses to fill up with water, and a watermug. People were going to need to drink eventually, and if the kids out there were as in bad shape as they seemed... They especially would need some water.
Hopefully no one would choke on it though.
For that would just be the perfect addition to the already crazy situation that was happening.

Staying still where she sat, Mikayla let the air go through her nose and to her lungs, before she blew it out through her mouth. Over and over. Trying to keep her emotions in check. Really, she had been forced to do this time after time at the start when she lost the first couple competitions. When she had believed she was invincible. Not that she believed that anymore, but she still knew she was a better swimmer than most. Years of training would do that sort of stuff. That and what she supposedly was meant to believe.
You must be a child of Poseidon, her mother had told her when she was a young girl without a father in her life. That because of her ability to just... connect with the water, that she had to be related to the God of the sea. And clearly, her mother hadn't been joking. If her mother had truly known though, she had no idea about. Who would even want to know they had a child with a greek god? Who would want to know they had a child with a god at all?! Who would even want to have a child with a god?! Her thoughts were running around in her mind and she threw her head back, groaning loudly, though as she did that, the towel loosened from her hair.
Well wasn't that just peachy, she thought sarcastically and stood up, taking it off after rubbing her hair a little more, and pushed it back into the bag. Her little bag that she kept with her when she had to swim that day. But of course there was no clothes other than one set of change, or an extra bikini in it. So this would be.... Great.

Picking the black bag up as she turned to head in, and just see who else had arrived, she stopped in her step as she saw another dark haired woman. Oh isn't this just... brilliant. Fuck! Another person. Another bloody person to deal with. But maybe this person had some kind of.... Idea as to why they were all there. So she walked over, the bag over her shoulder, moist hair falling around her face, and no makeup on. Mikayla suspected she looked like a damn mess, but hey. She had been busy when all of this bullshit had started, and she was not willing to freak out about how she looked. Answers were more important than trying to impress someone. "Please, say you have some kind of fucking idea as to how we jump from sunny Spain and over to cold.... Wherever this is." She sighed after she spoke, tired of not knowing, but trying to not just be angry. Because anger... Well anger would not help her this second. Of course, if some asshole commented on her shorts, anger would be fun to have while slapping the hell out of the person, but being calm was more important. Especially if she wanted answers.

"Oh. My. Goddess. We are a jumbled disorganized mess," Ai sighed right when someone appeared who she could tell easily was a son of Apollo. He called for someone to give him medical attention. A brutish son-of-ares looking guy went over and handed him a beer. A beer of all things when the guy on the couch was probably internally bleeding. This was insane. Ai quickly crossed the room towards Haris. "Yeah, yeah no honey. You just got teleported to a random location and you're gonna accept a beer? I'm gonna need everyone in here on their game thank you. Especially if you know why you're here." Ai took the beer out of his hands and set it on the floor. She then knelt down to the injured man, she specialized in life on a cellular level but she still had a lot of general knowledge about medicine and such because her dad happened to be a doctor.

Ai pulled up the man's shirt and began gently pressing on different areas, looking for a reaction. That's when it hit her, the guy she was tending to was a son of Zeus. As a daughter of Iris she had a natural instinct to serve Zeus and Hera, which included their descendants because of Iris' servitude to the two. When she got around the upper lungs she easily deduced if they weren't broken one of them was fractured. Typical son of Ares, oh haha it isn't broken here have a beer. "What he needs is a hospital, but..." Ai reached into her purse and pulled out a velvet bag. She reached into it and pulled out a small vial and something wrapped in foil like chocolate. She opened the mans mouth and poured in the liquid inside of the bottle into the man's mouth. She then unwrapped the ambrosia from it's foil wrapping then placed it on his tongue. "Due to reflexes he should swallow it safely."

Iris gave Kira and Ai gifts for their eighteenth birthday. Iris always gave them gifts, even when they didn't know about her. This time she stressed that the gifts were special. Ai got the infinitely deep velvet bag, Iris told her something vague like 'It will contain what you need most, which does not mean what you want most some of the time.' Ai assumed what she gave the man would be healing, since she pulled it out of the bag.

"Ok, I think that should help." Ai looked at Haris, "Where did you... get him from? What happened?"

[fieldbox='Rayne Walker, purple']Rayne's attention was grabbed as she heard a female voice. Looking up she smirked. "London." She raised a brow as it seemed like the young lady from the pool had decided to come towards the house. "Seems like you're having a bad day." Rayne spoke as she took a drag from her cigarette. Exhaling away from the other woman she dropped her arms to the side. "Well since you—" Her words were cut off as the sliding door was opened and she felt someone touch her shoulder. Turning around to see who it was she took another drag of her cigarette and exhaled with a smile. "Well at least you're not freaking out anymore." She chuckled before the other guy spoke. She turned her gaze to the blonde and then back to the other man "Demi-god. yes." She nodded. "Half god, half human. The human part is where your flesh and bone situation come into play." Another smile as she took a drag from her cigarette for a third time. "Like I said in there," She turned to look into the blue eyes of the blonde. "Which you missed." She smiled slightly. "It's a lot to take in but it's the truth. Your parents may both be mortal but that doesn't mean the blood that flows through you is. Both my parents were mortal" She exhaled the smoke. "But my mom is a descendant of a god, making my grandmother a goddess." She laughed laughed a little. "It might be the same for you." She shrugged. Rayne spoke again. "Have you ever had anything weird happen to you? When you were angry or sad? Anything at all, Fire? Lighting? Water? Storms? Have you ever thrown someone across a room? Anything that didn't look normal but feel...right and empowering?" She asked, her eyes flickering between the two sets of blues opposite her amber gaze.

"You wouldn't have ended up here if you had no relation to the gods. That's the reason everyone is here. There's some sort of war coming up a battle, I dunno something like that." Rayne made a face of slight confusion as she took the last drag of her smoke before tossing it aside and exhaling. "Here, let me show you guys something, it's simple, something everyone here should be able to do. BUT" She pointed at the man. "No freaking out okay?" She smiled. Putting out her hand she closed her eyes and clenched her jaw. Focusing for a moment. "Ehtho." She spoke softly as a small white orb slowly manifested itself over her hand, it glowed white lighting up their faces. She looked up at them and smiled brightly. "Here, put your hand out. Focus on the orb." Rayne spoke and took hold of the guy's wrist with her free hand.

There was a warmth as their skin touched. Rayne didn't know what it was, maybe it was a demi-god thing. Maybe it was their energies recognizing eachother. Regardless it wasn't something she needed to focus on right now. She brought the orb over his hand and let it drop onto his palm. It slowly floated down but suddenly stopped as it seemed to collide with something invisible. Rayne clenched her jaw as she watched. The orb began to spark at the bottom. As it fell closer to his hand it was slowly becoming engulfed by lightning. The orb that was now floating above his hand was a small, staticky ball of electricity, it glowed white for the most part but some of the strands of lightning would spark yellow, blue and a pale purple. The raven haired girl grinned brightly as she let go of his wrist and stepped back. "I don't know if that answers your question or not but you're doing a damn fine job keeping that spell going." She chuckled. "Now don't focus too hard cause you might overload it and that could end with injuries." She laughed a little awkwardly. "When you want to stop it just stop focusing on it and imagine it fading away." Rayne's eyes shifted from the small orb of electricity to the young man. "I never got your name by the way." She spoke to him and hoped to find out what they worry-ward demi-god's name was. It wasn't everyday that you were acquainted with a descendant of the king of gods. "I'm Rayne." She spoke and extended a hand towards the blonde.[/fieldbox]

It took only a few minutes for Nigel to almost be at The HQ. In the fire, everything went by as a blur... he couldn't see anything, he would've like to know where he was going, but that wasn't going to happen right now. While he was waiting to be set free from the flames, he thought about everything that was about to go on. His father only told him the minimum of what the God could say. Nigel knew that he would be meeting other Demigods, and that they would be doing something together. Nigel tried to get the information out of his stubborn father... but he wouldn't tell him, not even when he pleaded. Maybe it was a good thing he didn't know, if he knew why he was going to some foreign place... he probably would of said NO real fast.

Everyone inside and around the HQ Building would see a spark of light coming from the sky... or what looked like a spark of light. Than the people inside of the building, they would start to feel increased warmth on their skin and then see a glow of flames. Once the fire vanished, Nigel stood there with his bags in his hands and over his shoulders. "THANKS FOR THE GRAND ENTRANCE!" He yelled up to the sky, smirking at the same time. He shook his head, before looking at everyone else in the living room area. Fixing his glasses, he gave them all a dimpled smirk. "Hi, I'm Nigel... son of Hephaestus, you know, the God that makes all the weapons your parents use and stuff. I'm guessing you're all Demigods like me right?" Nigel didn't know what he had just walked into, since most of the people here weren't soo calm about talking like this. He would learn that not all of the other people here had the same loving relationship he had with his Godly Parent.

While he waited for someone to say something, he could't help but notice a lighting sphere being held up by another male. Wait... a lighting sphere! Nigel nearly ran over to the guy. "Wo... how are you doing that? That's cool, you have to teach me how to do that." He just stared at the ball of electricity, most likely his would turn into a ball of fire... that would be freaking amazing. He looked at the raven haired girl next to the boy. "Do you know how to do that too?" He had just gotten here, and already crazy things were happening, he hoped nothing bad was coming up next.

August thought about what she said and couldn't deny that indeed he was constantly struck by lightning. And in any kind of weather. Either it be sunny or rainy. ''So you say that one of my parents is descendant from a god... That makes no sense. '' he admitted with a sigh. She must be on serious drugs this girl. He thought. Then the orb appeared and he widen his eyes. He hesitated before placing his hand on the orb, as he looked at Rayne and back at Mikayla, he actually just greeted her with two fingers like in a salute and then he felt static form. His hand tingled as he focused on the orb of light. It turned slightly blew as their was a blue-ish light that brightened a bit around them. His eyes were wide and his mouth to the ground, and he laughed a bit.

'' This is some serious magic trick man. '' he ended up saying. Obviously, he was too rational.

He looked up at Mikayla and back at Rayne before focusing more. And then a shock, and he immediately removed his hand. It burned a bit , but he ended up smiling as he jumped backwards. '' Oh wow!'' he ended up saying with a laugh.

He looked at the girl, both of them with their hair up and looking funky because of the static. Thankfully, his hair wasn't going up due to gel. '' Can you show me that magic trick? Pretty sure i'll impress mom and pop's with it. '' he said still thinking this was probably some sick joke.

He didn't feel threatened anymore since, well, this crazy girl was of no harm to him.

And then he just noticed the black boy next to him. '' I have no clue. That's why I'm asking her.'' he then said kindly to boy. '' Looks pretty cool, no?'' he then added suddenly turning into the caring little fatherly guy he is.

As Andre stared blankly up at the sky, he started to think to himself as to why there were all sent here so drastically. Andre never really trusted anyone and these gods were no different.
"I know They're hiding something, but what is it?."

Andre placed his right arm as a brace to slowly lift himself back up, he then reached over to the cold beer sliding it closer to him. he raised the beer towards his lips as he raised it above his head , taking done the whole beer as some spilled down his cheeks. Still holding the beer, he wiped away the beer with the outside of his hand before dropping it back beside him.
" Might as well get back in there at least."
" Who knows what they're thinking now."
" I should probably be able to trust at least one or two of them though."

As Andre stood up he noticed a light flickering outside
"What the hell was that?"
Filled with curiosity, Andre decided to enter around the side of the building. He quickly lit another cigarette and as he approached the light, it had already subsided and a few of them were out back around the girl who made him laugh before. Calming himself for a moment so he wouldn't look like an idiot, he walked over and decided to properly greet them.

"Sorry to interrupt, but I could swear there was a light flickering back here."
Andre's eyes were moving around looking at each of them for an answer.
"Look I don't know any of you, so I'm just asking if one of you can tell me what that was just now?"

As he spoke he could tell this was probably done by the girl me met earlier.
by the time he finished speaking, Andre Staring at Rayne waiting for some sort of explanation.

Akira "Kira" Mei
| Interactions: @SilentDiscort @Huntress |
| Mentioned: Ai Mei, August, Lucas |

Ai rushed off to go be a hero, he had to laugh at how she took some drink from a guy's hand authoritatively then bent down to observe the guy. Kira felt Ai was in no immediate danger and she seemed to be just fine so Kira moved on. That's when he saw some sort of flashing light. He headed over to it and met a group of people staring at the girl who he'd heard introduce himself as Rayne on the walk. Right as he entered Andre entered as well.

"Sorry to interrupt, but I could swear there was a light flickering back here." the large muscular man said. Kira could simply tell he was a son of Ares and because Iris didn't like Ares very much at all Kira tended to hold the same grudge. It was just that they were about rainbows and light while Ares was just...... well, brutal.

Andre became suddenly very shifty and nervous- beginning to dart his eyes around at everyone, "Look I don't know any of you, so I'm just asking if one of you can tell me what that was just now?" he asked. To Kira the question was awfully redundant, mostly because he had assumed this child of Ares knew about his father.

"Magic. Some sort of spell I would assume. Rayne, you're a daughter of.........." Kira paused, it wasn't Zeus. Kira knew that much because as a son of Iris he would of felt some pull to serve her if she was. "Hekate?" he threw the guess out there. He didn't feel the need to tip toe around the subject anymore because if everyone around didn't know about Gods and Goddesses they needed to know and pretty quickly. There was no time for sensitivity the band-aid needed to be ripped off.

How's the injured kid?
Should be improving, how's angry kid?
What angry kid?
The one that was freaking out earlier, Lillith offered him gum.
How'd you know I was with him?
New power I suppose.
He's a non believer, I think Rayne is trying to knock some sense into him
Hah.

Ai must of turned off their telepathic connection because soon all Kira was left with was his own thoughts and the situation he'd walked into.

Nigel was still staring at the ball of electricity. When the orb sparked, Nigel moved back a bit. He couldn't help but give a chuckle to how the two girls now looked, their hair standing at a attention. When the guy spoke to him, Nigel had to get over the shock and awe before speaking again. "What... oh! Yeah that was amazing." Seeing as the man turned whatever that orb thing was into electricity, that could only mean one thing. "Your a son of Zeus... God of Gods, nice."

Nigel knew a lot about the others Gods and Goddesses, since always knowing who his father really was he did and still does a lot of research on Greek Mythology, just to be informed. "Yeah, I would LOVE to know how to do that too." He gave a giant grin. Nigel's body shook a bit at the sound of another voice coming by them... and it didn't sound like a nice one at that.

He could tell that this guy wasn't someone he would like or ever want to know. When he asked what that flash of light was, Nigel stood there. "Oh... that was probably when I was being brought here... sometimes my dad's Fire can look like Light. Hephaestus sure knows how to be creative." He chuckled, but made sure to not make eye contact with the bigger male. Or it could of been the Orb... but it didn't seem likely to be bright enough to shine across the building.

No.
Just... No!
This woman was kidding. They couldn't be descendants of gods. It just couldn't be. There was no way. No.
This could not be. Could not be at all. No. "Fuck this shit..." She mumbled quietly under her breath, having to take a deep breath and start to count again. No. This was.... This could not be happening. It couldn't be. No.... Her mother couldn't possibly have... no. Her mother was into surfer dudes, not into gods. This was just... Nooo.
But... Her mom had been in greece nine months prior to the birth of Mikayla.... No. It couldn't be. It wasn't. It was just... Bullshit. Goddamn bullshit. No. She was totally not related to some god damn God who left her mother to raise her on her own. No. Fuck no. If he even was.. She didn't even want to be part of his plans or needs if he was. How could anyone leave a single mother with a child who was half god?! What if she had ended up doing some kind of fucked up shit like Heracles? One never knew, it could happen!

After all, that dark haired woman in front of her stood with some kind of scary magic there, letting it ignite in the hand of the guy. This... Is... Madness... Mikayla stood and stared, the small hairs at the back of her neck raising. This was not anything she wanted to be happening. She had never volunteered to be some kind of soldier in a war she was not a part of. and this was definitely not her war.
Then more people came walking out, and the silence and calm that this little place had been earlier, was destroyed. It was running through her mind that maybe stripping out of the shorts and the shirt and just return under the water surface would be for the better, but she didn't want to do anything rash. Nope. Not with how this was all going. This was really... Going the wrong way.

So she reached into her bag and pulled up the bag of salt licorice that a friend had given her not too long ago, and put one of the little circles on her tongue, keeping silent as people were talking. These could become friends, or they could become enemies. She didn't know yet, and she didn't want to know yet. She just wanted to get back home, and actually find some clothes warm enough for this weather. This was all just.... fucked up. We are supposed to be half-gods.... yet all they care about is a shiny little orb?! She didn't understand these people. How were they so calm while she was freaking out on the inside?

And two more joined in. Two more males. Well bloody brilliant how all the guys had decided to come out and start asking about magic, when she was wanting questions about this whole fucked up situation. But she was taking her time, trying to not freak out, as she put another licorice on her tongue, trying to let the salty taste distract her mind from pretty much everything happening there. I am definitely high. Can't be another option. I have to have taken some drugs or something.... There has to be something fucked up here.. She didn't want to believe that they were all gods. It just... It made no sense. No bloody sense.

(She stands with Andre, Rayne, August and Nigel. But said nothing)

[fieldbox="Haris Clifton, Orange, dashed, 10"] Haris stood to the side as one of the guys came over. He obviously didn't know this guy but whoever he was..he had this air about him that Haris didn't like. If what his father had told him had been accurate that would mean that everyone here was a child of one of the greek gods. But..this kid in front of him. He didn't know who his parent was but..from the way he looked and acted he had a very strong feeling he was a child of Ares the god of war. When he lifted up Lucas's shirt to check his ribs Lucas gave a small groan as his injured chest was touched. Haris hardly heard the guy speak about his ribs but he had heard him talk about the beer. The next thing he knew the guy had walked away after introducing himself as Andre.

Haris had little time to react before another girl came from no where and practically ripped the beer from his hand and set it down on the floor and all but scolded him for having it. What kind of sense did that make? He brings in a wounded guy..son of Ares hands him a beer without him actually accepting it then he get's scolded for holding onto a beer he had no intention of drinking? But those thoughts were taken from his mind as the girl started to actually look at the unconscious man in a more medical way. He watched in earnest for a moment as she worked. In the back of his mind he knew what she was doing..he also knew what was going on with him. Although he didn't know why or how he knew that. Major bruising on his chest and sides..definitely a fractured rib if it's not broken. Possible internal bleeding and a punctured lung if the fracture was bad enough to move the rib. Chances of survival high if given attention now..chances slowly dwindling the more time we waste.

He then looked back at the girl as she reached into her bag to get something "What are you-" He paused mid sentence yet again as she gently poured some liquid into the guys mouth and then fed him a piece of..ambrosia. He didn't know how he knew what it was but that same voice in the back of his head helped him recognize it instantly. Ambrosia..food of the gods..in mythology it gave whoever ate it immortality. However..in small quantities and fed to demigods it heals them no matter what injury it is. It can even save them from the most life threatening injuries and illnesses. However..to much could kill him.

lucas gave a small cough as the ambrosia and liquid slid down his throat. However almost as soon as he had he gave a soft sigh as the ambrosia started to do it's work on his body. Haris stared at Lucas for a moment and then shook his head as he realized the girl was speaking to him. He turned his head to face her and rubbed the back of his head before he spoke "I..I honestly don't know what happened to him. I..I was dropped off on the roof by my father Apollo then..a bunch of lightning started striking the roof the next thing I knew he was standing there then he collapsed suddenly" He looked at the girl a bit closer and then looked away a bit from embarrassment. She was very attractive and he knew that it was wrong for him to think that way considering what just happened but..he couldn't help it. Shaking his head he looks back at her "my name is Haris..I'm a son of Apollo. If that was ambrosia you just fed him then..he should make a full recovery in an hour or so..for now he just needs to rest."

Lilith rolled her eyes at Donovan. He wasn't bad looking, but she could already tell that he was going to be a pain in her ass just by the way he smirked at her. ''In your fucking dreams you weirdo. You probably rubbed it up your ass or something. Ain't going to fall for that,'' he said and she couldn't help her snarky response. He just seemed to bring that side out in her.
"Darling, you don't know this yet but I'm far more devious and subtle than that. If I wanted to trick you it wouldn't be with a piece of gum," she said, her accent full of her origin hometown. "But don't worry, I can see that you're just an ass by nature. I won't hold it against you," she replied a lot more quietly so he couldn't hear. Donovan leant forward and Elin started to speak to him, much to her relief. She wasn't normally that mouthy, but she certainly wasn't going to take any shit from anyone here. She could hear some girl start talking about Gods and Goddesses, but she tuned them out. She wasn't interested in the drama of her fellow Demigods, nor any of the chaos that followed unless she specifically caused it which would probably make her seem shallow and self-absorbed to some but she didn't really care what others thought. So instead, she simply chewed on her gum, enjoying the peppermint flavour as she tried to relax her overworked muscles. Although she wouldn't complain about it, she'd already been up for more than 24 hours and had been working for most of it. Sure it hadn't really been hard work, because mostly she had spent her time making humans lives fall apart, but there was a lot more activity to mixing and pouring drinks than one might think. Not only that but she had done a full days work at the diner too before her shift at the bar.

Her thoughts drifted to thinking about the others in the room, picturing them all in her head and silently assessing each of them. It was necessary to know each of them on the most basic level, something that could be done by watching them interact with someone. Anyone. Even the most basic reactions showed who you were, what kind of person you were, and Lily could work with that. So one by one she ran through the list of Demigods in her head, probably a little more curious about who their Godly parent was than she should be. But there was one that stood out to her, and she didn't know why. His name was Akira, or so she thought, but she couldn't remember where she'd seen him before. It was entirely possible that he'd been a customer but certainly not regular enough for her to be able to instantly recognise him, but it could have been something else entirely. Perhaps he'd lived near her when she'd been with her family, or perhaps they were merely aquaintances that had met in passing. But she was usually so good with faces.

Another that stood out to her was a girl standing off to one side. She was wearing glasses, but that wasn't what had made Lilith notice her. That was actually the fact that she was being quiet. All these other morons were loud and shouting about what they were doing her or how they'd gotten here, and quite frankly she was already bored of it. Lilith didn't know that her name was actually Arabesque, but in her head she just referred to her as 'Glasses Girl'. It wasn't particularly imaginative, but it was a hell of a lot better than four eyes. Despite being the Daughter of Chaos, she wasn't one to bully people.

As Lilith's stomach rumbled, she got up and groaned trying to remember when the last she'd eaten was. She didn't even bother sticking around to see if the injured boy was alright. She didn't really see why she should care either, it's not as if she knew the guy. She walked briskly into the kitchen in search of food, moving passed the other girl with a quick curtious hello. "Hey why aren't you out there with the others?" she asked the girl, looking her from head to toe before turning to look in the fridge. The girl was blonde and pretty enough, but she looked too sweet. She and Lilith were like too opposite ends of the spectrum. Stella was all sweet and innocent looking, and Lilith looked wild and crazy. People often said she had crazy eyes. Of course that was usually when she acted crazy, but Lily didn't care. She was the daughter of the Goddess of Chaos. It was considered an occupational hazard. Finding the fridge lacking, she turned and plucked a dark red apple from the fruit bowl, holding it in her hand as she turned it gold. She bit into the juicy fruit and then turned back to Stella, watching her curiously.
