"No ingot breaking, noted." Joel mimed zipping up his mouth but the silence lasted only as long as it took Morgan to turn down the music and face him, at which point he gave her another bright smile. "Would you like to form an alliance....with me?" He swept his hand through the air dramatically. "Well, with the Morpheus cabin, technically. But it's just me and Jadey and we need all the help we can get and having you and your cabin as allies would be killer and—" Joel stopped mid-thought, realizing he needed to give Morgan a chance to respond if he wanted to know her answer. And he did. Obviously. Please say yes.

Morgan did her best to hide her amusement, turning around to figure out where the fuck she left the remote for her speakers. "You're going to owe me big time if you made me break this ingot, dude." Once it was located - and the loud blaring of rock music turned down, Morgan spun back around to face her friend, intrigued by his vague offer. "Oh, interesting." She leaned back in her chair, lifting her legs to rest on the desk next to her. "I might be, whatcha got?"

“Cami, your roommate— she’s the one in the pictures?” Wes had seen a few small Polaroids stuck on the wall with colorful tape. Something about the other girl in the photos had struck a chord in his memory, just as something about Joss did. He ignored her clear teasing about the food and pushed on. “Are you both demigods? Or something…else? I don’t think it crossed my mind while we were…ahem, occupied,” he finished with a sheepish grin.

“Hmm…I’ll think about it. I guess your friend will need the help. The consolation, really. Because that reputation? It speaks for itself.” Faust tossed some curls over her shoulder, admiring Teddy’s smile. Someone had pulled up with bass thumping from their speakers and she had to yell to be heard over the music. “I have an idea! What if you had a front-row seat to the race?” The look on her face was pure mischief.

“Sadieeeee! You knooow Pierce and I are just friends,” Faust whined, trying to hide a grin. “That being said, he took me out to dinner the other night. A rooftop in the city! It was delightful. We got lobster— tell me you’ve had lobster?” She paused, sparing her sister barely a second before pursing her lips. An odd expression flickered across her face. “No one comes to mind. No names anyway.”

Drew returned Davina's salute with an arch of his eyebrow and a barked out laugh. "You're fun, I like that." He watched her take in the room before moving to pick up an old, cracked shield and heft it over his arm. It was too bulky for his preferred quick movements and Drew made a face before setting it back down. Dust rose into the air and he made a face, turning back to Davina. "I've heard some do, but I dunno how common it is. I'm not on speaking terms with mine, that's for fucking sure. He stepped over to a pile of crates on the floor and peered inside, the contents too shadowed for him to discern. Without looking back at Davina, he asked, "Why? Trying to contact your parent? You could grab some drachmas or denarii and chuck 'em into the fucking fountain in the square. Try for an Iris Message or some shit like that."

"Ah, man! I have no idea, probably just me forgetting that not everyone can read my mind like Jade can." Joel laughed, good-natured as always. "You need help catching shinies? I've got a knack for it somehow. I think it's gotta do with the berries or something, you tried that? I could try and catch some for you. I swear I'll give them some dope names." Joel peered at the fridge, then smiled at Augustin. "Sure thing, bro! What ya got?"

“That it can,” Wes murmured, realizing that Ariana was quite wise. He moved then, out of the chair and onto the bed beside her, the story begging for closeness as he began his tale. “It started with a quest— as many woes for our kind do, I am sure. I was— I am, a sailor. The quest was from my mother, of the seafaring sort. Find this, retrieve that, battle this, return—” He moved his hand to imitate rambling conversation, a silent blah blah blah. “I believe, now, that it was doomed from the start. It didn’t always seem so. We were attacked by a terrible creature, and then by a terrible storm. There was lightning.” Wes lifted his hand, gesturing to the scarring across his cheek, his neck, his back. “The ship wrecked, quite spectacularly.” His tone was flat, his expression unreadable.

"It was," Jaime agreed, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. He dropped his hands, shrugging one shoulder. "I think the carnival was your sister's doing. At least, I heard about it from her and Phoebe. And the shipwreck was quest-related," he nodded in confirmation. "A different quest than the one I meant. And A different shipwreck, actually." Jaime laughed, taking a moment to figure out how to explain. "I think you were here when that first quest returned? With a stranger in tow; he'd been shipwrecked. The details are lost on me. But the shipwreck I meant was very recently and it brought another curious stranger with it." He hopped onto a fallen log, holding his arms out for balance as he walked across it. "My brother, Xav— it was his quest that I meant. He left not too long ago. Less of a quest, more of an errand, if I understand correctly." Shrugging once more, Jaime watched Patrick pick his way over the path. "Was your summer as eventful?"

"Let's hope it does." They gave it another experimental sniff before huffing out a frustrated sigh, confirming, "I was. And it was a fucking trap, is what it was." Once Kendall had reassured them that her ears were open, it was like floodgates had been raised. Their words came pouring out. "I'm going to the arena, you know, to practice like I always do. Keep my skills sharp. And just my luck, guess who else is there?" They paused, taking another sip of Kendall's concoction. "A washed up popstar. But I'm nice— I can play nice," Tam amended. "So I say, 'Hey man, wanna spar? I was going to practice on the dummies but I could use a partner.' Trying to be nice and all because he's important to Ben and everything and—" Just telling the story was getting Tam heated again; they did their best to shove the feelings away. "We spar. He thinks he's hot shit, Mister Texas. And let me tell you, he's not! All that Roman training," they scoffed, clearly finding Dex's training lacking. Without realizing, they'd drained the cup Kendall had given then and stared blankly at the bottom of the cup. "He's such an asshole."

Graves immediately brightened. "Oh! You were here last summer? Where'd you stay?" He realized he was getting away from himself and extended his hand for her to shake. "Name's Graves, Cam Graves. I can show y'round if y'want? Or point you in the direction of a quiet spot. 'M sure I can think of a few."

#m: graves #graves&lilith #/end #tldr he gave her a tour and talked her ear off and told her the best pies to get at pantheon and then said peace out enjoy camp

"Exactly! And our job is to bring out its personality." Phoebe laughed, her tongue between her teeth as she turned her focus back to the clay, determined to start poking around at it before the class had truly started. "I'm sure she'd say yes. I can ask her after class, Chase and I were going there for dinner tonight. I'll let you know what she says." A flower vase sounded like a challenge but Phoebe had a feeling, nay, a premonition that it would come out perfectly. "You should do it!" She encouraged Caspar, jostling his arm very gently. "And then I'll pick you up some flowers from the market that you can keep in it. Or you could put flowers in it and give it to Tai?" Phoebe wiggled her eyebrows, grinning.

#m: phoebe #phoebe&caspar #/end #the answer was yes they hung out and went to the diner and phoebe treated cas to food and then they went back to the morpheus townhouse #and busted out the coloring books and put on some cartoons #and it was great

If the candleglow wasn't enough to set the mood of magic and wonder, Phoebe's aura that matched them did the trick, adding to the room's brightness by a fraction. Sliding into the seat across from Bowie, Phoebe wrapped her fingers around her mug of tea. Its warmth flooded into her fingers instantly. "I do," she answered, sounding contemplative. "With everything else that's true and real and possible, why discount the idea?"

“Oh, Ben! Good good good good.” She sighed dreamily, squeezing his arm a little tighter. “It’s not your first but at the same time it is.” Koda knew what he meant about it being a mind fuck, she thought. “I’m sure you’ve had loads of firsts with Dex. It’s special and precious and I’m sure it’s a learning curve, just like it was for me and Renee. But—” Her shoulders rose in the slightest shrug. “It’s all yours and all Dex’s and it’s wonderful. I don’t know,” she said after a moment. “I’m really happy for you, like, all the time. And I’m proud of us. Mostly you. But I’m pretending that I’ve had the glow up you’ve had too.” Koda giggled, looking back up at the sky. “It’s freeing, yeah? Getting to be yourself?”

Bass thrummed in her bones as she wiped the counter down for what felt like the hundredth time that evening. She’d just finished training a new hire and though she still had a few hours left of her shift, she no longer had an accident-prone shadow spilling drinks left and right. Koda laughed to herself as the song changed— something louder, more electronic, more vibrant. The lights of the club cast their neon glow upon her and when they shifted again, her hair stayed the same bright neon color. Feeling pleased with herself for a near-instantaneous change, Koda noticed she had a patron to attend to. “Hey!” She chirped, offering Tomi a smile. “What can I get you? Also that dress? Killer.”

Faust flicked her gaze up over the thick white plastic frames of her sunglasses, narrowing her eyes at the sight of a tall drink of water heading her way. "Hello handsome," she said under her breath, then louder, greeted Milos. "Hi! That's so cute, have you been going around asking people?" She scooted sideways, making the barest amount of space available on the bench beside her in case he'd like to sit. "My favorite activity is not New Athens approved, but shopping is always an excellent second option." She gave the stranger a onceover, not bothering to hide it. Liking what she saw, she fixed him with a flirty smile. "Are you new in town?"

Joel wasn't esily rattled but even he had enough self-preservation to jump backwards when the girl forging an honest-to -gods molten sword spun around unexpectedly. He supposed to should have expected it, having called her name and all, but still! "A buzzer?" He echoed cluelessly, watching Morgan tuck her hair back into place. "Sorry! I didn't see it, I was full-tunnel vision." Joel rubbed the back of his neck. "I have a uhhhh, okay wait let me start again." He turned away from her, only to turn back a second later with a big smile on his face and finger guns pointing in his direction. "So! The next game of capture the flag is coming up and I was wondering— no, I have a proposition. You interested?"

@imitheous Knuckles rapped sharply on the door, the sound carrying across the space as he poked his head inside. “Anyone home?” Joel called, peering into the warmly lit room. He’d taken a gamble: unsure exactly where to find Morgan, he had settled on the forges. It seemed the best place to start. “Don’t worry, I come in peace,” he joked, thinking of their tetchy encounter at last month's campwide capture-the-flag. There was a hopeful smile on his face when he stepped into the forge proper and spotted her, back to the door, music blaring out of a speaker beside her. "Earth to Morgan."
