The Panda Express:
"Math? Oh, geez, Ash, you have my respect." Russell's expression turned sour. "Haha, I never understood calculus or the function of the quadratic equation, sorry about that." The young man picked up a menu and began passing it around. "Their lava cakes are pretty good and they've got some fantastic lasagna."
A waiter walked up to them and greeted them with a smile. "Oh, dude, Russell, it's you."
"Cameron?" The boy perked up. "I didn't know you were working here. Nice to see you, these are Ember, Ash, and Laura."
"Nice to meet you folks, what'll you be having?"
"Lasagna," Ember muttered, she looked horribly confused and Cameron tried not to chuckle.
"Hm, iced tea and a slice of mango pie," Russel stated.
"And you two?" He gave Laura and Ash a friendly smile and waited for them to make an order. After they finished, Cameron moved to another table with the same smile and a bounce in his steps.
"Oh, me?" Russell seemed a bit surprised. "There isn't much to say, but uh, sure, yeah." The young man gave his cheek a scratch. "Hm, I'm a lit major at Kingston, moved into an apartment with Steve two months ago. I think greek mythology is pretty fantastic..." there was an awkward chuckle. "I guess I'm kind of a nerd? But I don't mind too much."

Roland's House:
"I get it, I'll be a good little boy." There was no mistaking the annoyance in Thanatos' voice, but he didn't say anything else. He was a rebel, but he wasn't an idiot. Grim and Balance could throw him into the box easily and that was something he didn't want. "A'ight, thanks, human." Thanatos followed the other Greek entities to the van, leaving the holidays by themselves.
Tyree winced. "Don't worry, Roland, we'll look after the place."
"Yeah," Alice grinned brightly and Tyree couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. "We'll take extra care of the place."
"Alice..." Tyree narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "You make me uncomfortable sometimes, y'know?"
Halloween laughed. "Good, good, that's my job! But anyways, I'm a good little holiday. Francis and Nina can testify to that."
Ferris burst into laughter and soon he was caught in one of Halloween's headlocks.
"Sorry, sorry," he apologized through fits of laughter.
"Whatever, so..." Halloween arched an eyebrow. "What are we going to do now?"
Balance's House:
Tyree winced. "Don't worry, Roland, we'll look after the place."

Balance's House:
"Hades, Persephone..." The grim reaper looked beyond tired. "I've been here awhile, I don't know how long." If he were less busy and less respected, he would have fallen onto a sofa and slept, but he was death and death didn't have time to spare. "Harmony, I think you should go to the meeting alone. Balance doesn't look good," he spoke the truth. "The old man has only been getting worse, I'm sorry."
Balance twisted and groaned beneath his blanket. He was as pale as a sheet.
Persephone wished she could help, but only one thing could make Balance better, and none of them knew exactly what it was at this point.
"We think it's Chaos," Grim announced. "The holiday realm and Olympus have been completely cut off." He repeated what Harmony had said to the Greek God and his wife and Persephone clung to Hades' arm.
"This is quite the predicament, isn't it..."
Grim sighed. "It is...and no one is allowed to travel, because there's a chance they'll end up stuck. Unfortunately, I'm the exception, but I have work to do." His pager began beeping like crazy and Grim frowned. "I'm behind schedule too."
