"I guess I kinda have to be." Arthur found himself saying to Mona, forcing a small, sad smile. He couldn't stay here, wallowing wouldn't get him anywhere. Hopefully practicing and honing his abilities would get this all off his mind, and push him forward. "What about you?" He said, almost mechanically. This all felt wrong, they had to be entitled to some kind of time to grieve, no? Was this really how things were to be? It was a tumultuous haze of feeling inside him in this way, wanting to move forward, but scared to at the same time. All he could really do, would be pretend he was okay, until he was.

It was at this point he followed Andy's gaze, and looked up at the ship in the air, and was visibly taken aback. He genuinely hadn't noticed it until now, and all he could said was, "How- how did that get here? Is that what we're riding to get to Camp Jupiter?" He was stunned, to say the least, having never seen anything like this before. Every moment at this camp seemed to be one of shock and awe, and part of him wondered if that would ever subside. Was it possible for the extraordinary to become ordinary? Or would he just keep on seeing more and more things that would shock him to his core?

Demetri stared off towards the massive ship for moments longer before finally acknowledging the others. First Mary had corrected him in the whole Jonah/Noah mishap. That ofcourse opened Pandoras box of people now correcting him and adding their two cents into the mix. He stared flatly at each of them before gesturing towards the large floating ship above them all. "Jonah, Noah, the point of the matter is that there is a massive ship floating above our heads and it may have scrambled my brain up just a tad. Anyways I'm not quite sure this trip to Camp Jupiter is the best idea. No offense to Hestia for this grandeur of a ship but...is it really safe?" He couldn't outright say that he knew of Zeke's dream or that The mother of monsters was sending hoards of creatures from the depths to attack them en route?

He stood off a bit, looking around and then gaining a look of concern. His eyes continued to search for a bit before finally looking at the group of know it alls. "Speaking of bad ideas, wheres the blonde boy blunder and the rest of the mission crew? I havent exactly been on a mission yet aside from the one where I was Shanghai'd off from home and taken here. Is there like a debriefing of sorts or some prophecy that they get read to aid them off on their grand adventure or something?" He really shouldn't be asking or seeming worried but, this was such a change in atmosphere from how it felt earlier in this year

Ezekiel had just broke into the area around the Dining Pavilion when Kristen grabbed onto his wrist to get him to stop and talk with her, Janelle and Jason. It wasn’t the wrist that his new bracelet sat on but he pulled his hand away from her all the same. ”Texas? Of course it is,” Ezekiel grumbled. ”May as well head there and see what’s there. We are not listening to country music,” he said firmly. ”Did you notice anything Janelle that stuck out to you?” he asked her. As was evident with Kristen’s recollection, they probably saw and held onto different things within the dream.
Ezekiel looked back to the others gathered within the Dining Pavilion then up at the ship. ”I suppose we won’t get to ride in style like this,” he said longingly. He walked over to a dense group of people and glanced at them before taking over the conversation. ”Lucky me had a vision last night, the three of us did,” he said gesturing to Kristen and Janelle. ”Echnida knows you are all headed for Jupiter and she’s sending people to make the journey hell so, be on the lookout,” he said and shifted the pack on his shoulder. He took the beanie off his head and fixed his hair before replacing it again.

"There is a big difference between the two Demetri, I would have thought you would have paid attention more to just about anything, and you commenting otherwise is a bit of an annoyance, since those stories are still vastly different. But hey, continue making yourself appear dumb by not caring to actually pay attention and learn something about it," Mary said with a bit of an eye roll in his direction. He was only a year younger then she was, but clearly she paid more attention to some things then he did.

"Well you are more then welcome to stay behind Demetri. Since there are so many people going, you could stay behind if you aren't sure about coming along. I for one am excited to hop on the flying ship up above us, since it seems awesome to me, and it'll be amazing. Sure, I prefer to stay on the ground, but that is an amazing looking ship and don't you dare try to say otherwise. It'll be fun, and a bit of an adventure, so what are you so worried about?" she asked, looking at him still.

"I find their arguing to be more then a bit amusing," Janelle said with a bit of a giggle, shaking her head ever so slightly. The two arguing was a bit amusing, and certainly was going to make their quest more then a bit interesting. She felt like from what she knew at this rate that Zeke and Kristen would kill each other or something before any monsters were. Though hopefully they could avoid that, since she would prefer for both of them to stay alive or whatever.

"I don't find this amusing, unlike what you think Janey I find this more of a bit concerning..." Jason said with an eye roll, nodding his head slightly at Rosie's words. The fact that apparently this sort of thing was something that happened all the time and the two were supposed to work together? None of this made much sense to him, and he was not too thrilled at the fact that the whole quest was essentially in their bumbling hands. This made him feel better.

He let out a bit of a sigh, before he led Janelle along after Kristen and Zeke towards the Dining Pavilion. "The ship looks cool though, guessing that's how the rest of us are heading to Camp Jupiter," he commented as they headed over there. There were a lot of people around who seemed to be just as interested in the ship as he was. Walking over, he looked over at everyone who had gathered around, "So, that is definitely a cool flying ship..."

She rolled her eyes slightly, despite not being able to see, when Zeke asked her a question about what she remembered from the dream. "Unfortunately, if I might be so inclined to remind you... I can't see Zeke, so how is it that I would be able to recognize landmarks or anything else? I just learned what the two of you look like, so how am I supposed to know what to really look for in dreams like that? I'm used to not having to deal with things like that in my dreams... Usually a time for me where I can imagine the world however I want it. Since I can't see it..." Janelle said, but it was clear from her tone that she actually sounded a little bit hurt by the fact that he instantly thought she'd have something stick out to her above everything else. Everything stood out to her in her dreams, just because she couldn't really see the world or colors, and only knew what things somewhat looked like based on the descriptions of others.

Leda supposed that it wasn't the absolute worst case scenario when it came to travel time - just a day or two to get across the country. She knew that planes were faster than that and that if it had just been her and her siblings, they might have been able to make it a little faster as well. But this was better than taking the bus and fighting off monsters in every major metropolitan area. And since they had two children of Zeus with them, the skies ought to be relatively safe to travel. She liked the idea of keeping the ship name as the Argo III - but then again, the Pegasus was pretty brilliant as well. A rather crude variation of the name popped into her mind and she had to stifle her laughter.

"The Pegasus - I like it," Rebecca agreed. She smiled slightly at Arthur's confusion with how the ship had gotten there. The answer seemed rather obvious to her - magic - but she supposed for the new demigods it was still rather confusing. They were still just learning the rules as to how this world operated. Yet hadn't they been rescued using flying chariots? "Why would Hestia be offended?" Rebecca then added, tilting her head at Demetri. "Do you mean Hephaestus?" she then asked. She didn't see a connection between the Goddess of the Hearth and the boat.

Leda laughed a little bit at Demetri's insult of Zeke. "Speak of the Devil..." she murmured, seeing Zeke come over. Echnida knew that they were heading to Camp Jupiter. Zeke's warnings felt anticlimatic to her. With everything going on, she hadn't expected the journey to be smooth. Sure, she was hoping Zeus would keep the skies clear for them since his kids were going to be on the ship, but demigods were scarcely lucky. "Wow, shocking, the bad guy is going to send bad guys after us," she scoffed, rolling her eyes. "Did you also dream that water is wet? Please, do go on, I'm dying to hear whatever pearls of wisdom you have for us all."

"Leda, he means well..." Rebecca told her softly.

"Does he? Anyone think it's a coincidence that Zeke is going off on this quest?" Leda posed. "No? Just me? Fine, I guess it's just a bloody coincidence that he's going off to save the world and the prophecy didn't even specify him. He just happened to be the loudest bloke from the Apollo Cabin. Same thing with Kristin. And no offense, but Janelle? She isn't ready for this. She just got here."

Rebecca sighed. Leda did have a bit of a point - the volunteering was a bit unusual when it came to quests. Zeke also had a terrible bedside manner, something that had gotten on her own nerves the day prior. Yet she had faith that there were multiple paths to the same destination - that they would be able to accomplish this. Going to Camp Jupiter to warn them of the coming threat was important, especially with the visions she had witnessed the day prior. The sooner they left, the better.

A thousand questions sprang up in Andy's mind. All unasked. Andy wanted to know who Echnida was, and what happened to Argo I and II. How she wished Ash was there to ask them for her. She was fascinated by the ship and excited at the prospect of flying on it. An actual flying ship. Her eyes widened as they were told that the group would be traveling on it to go to Camp Jupiter. A place she still wasn't certain what to expect.

Ezekiel said that someone named Echnida was going to be making the journey hell for them, but how would they do it if the group was in the air. A couple of days flying the ship over the US to get to California shouldn't be too bad. And Andy had never been to California before so she was excited about getting to see it. She had heard a few things from the other homeless people and had thought one day when she was older she'd go there.

Alannah looked towards Arthur and gave him a slight nod. "Yep, i'll be flying us there just to make sure that you all are there safely." Alannah said she had been at the camp the longest, and she would make sure that they all got there in one piece, even if Enchida would be sending some monsters after all of them. "It's completely safe, it's not going to explode or anything unless someone plays with the Greek Fire onboard then yeah that would be really unsafe." Lauryn had taken the plans for the Argo II and made sure that they wouldn't have any problems either.

Kiera heard Zeke mentioning of the same person that was mentioned the night before, this Enchida person was going to be sending some monsters after them all which didn't sound good at all. She looked towards Rebecca agreeing with the name she smiled a little bit, before hearing Leda snapping a little bit. It was true the new girl didn't have any kind of experience at all really when it did come to actually fighting as far as she could tell. Aside from the day before when she used her old cane to fight against the Empousa, but she had a feeling that she would be just fine. And if they were going to be fighting against more monsters on the way over to this Camp Jupiter then it would be interesting to.

Kirstin stared at Leda, crossing her arms over her chest she didn't really like to be compared to Zeke pretty much she looked at Janelle for a moment. Sure the girl didn't have any kind of experience fighting monsters at all really, but she would be training her along the way as well. And she did promise to make sure that Jason's sister was all safe and sound as well, rubbing her arm a little bit she still didn't like the idea of bringing her due to her lack of experience. Before turning her attention over towards Chiron and Rosie who were both right there. It was ultimately her choice to actually go on this quest even if it did mean that she would end up dying possibly as well to, but she would make sure that both Zeke and Janelle were safe.

"Janelle can still opt out of the quest if she so chooses to, but it is ultimately up to her. But the Prophecy is clear that a child of Hypnos has to go on the quest." Chiron said looking over towards her, whether she wanted to go or not was still up to her, she wasn't forced to go if she didn't want to at all. When Rosie spoke up looking over towards Demetri asking if there was any kind of briefing for those who were going on the quest to find Enchdia. "It doesn't really work like that, I just get glimpses of whats going on, and then just the words come out, they are always really blurry. But you demigods get dreams occasionally that would give more information on your quest or something, though it's always kind of ominous." Rosie said shrugging slightly not being much help did really and truly suck.

Mona shrugged a shoulder. "Better than sitting around here doing nothing." She glanced back up at the shi, marveling in its design. And she was thankful they confirmed it would be them riding it. The journey would be long but at least they would ride in style. And what was this about Greek Fire? That bore looking into, she felt. "So what's the deal then? Is this like a cruise where we ride until our destination or are we being put to work on it?" She meant no disrespect, really, but surely this big ship would need handling and she didn't know if there was a crew or not.

And what if they were attacked? Surely the journey would be eventful. Did the ship have defenses? Would they rely on them to fight? Lots of questions, but she was also kind of excited to get going. "Let's get going then." The sooner they left, the sooner tey got to Camp Jupiter, right?

---

---

Ezekiel sighed, a bit annoyed by Janelle’s comment. ”Right, poor choice of words. Intuition then, did you feel like something was of significance? Just thought I would ask, more information is better than little to none.” Clearly he would have to be literal on this trip rather than just generalize everything. That was going to take some getting used to.
He looked over at Leda when she spoke up and he smirked, his eyes narrowing a bit. ”Why are you complaining Leda? Thought you would be happy I was leaving to go on a quest that I may not return from or are you upset because I made it through the last one and will probably make it through this one? Worry about your journey Leda and keep your opinion out of our quest. You have your own shit storm to deal with,” Ezekiel said bluntly. Sure it could be stated he was butting into theirs by letting them know their journey would be harder than ones in the past but he didn’t need someone placing doubt in his team, especially in Janelle who was new to this life and who happened to be blind on top of that. Ezekiel just had a poor way of saying things like that in a politically correct way, rather than the shithead way.

The news that Ezekeial brought with him only confirmed what he already knew. Echidna was building an offensive against them and they would soon find it. Ofcourse to all those who've been here for too long, it seemed that their camp cap was place on a bit too tight. They focused on the wrong things, seemingly correcting him once more which he ignored, while simultaneously making the r4ason to go well we were bound to find trouble. Its like they wanted more funerals. These kids, were without a doubt, the "I'd run upstairs when a killer comes in in a horror movie" kids. Demetri scoffed at the lot of them as he made his way over towards Zeke and placed his hands on his hips. "I cant believe I'm saying this but...why arent we listening to Zeke? Apollo's worst disease."

His eyes glanced downwards as he noticed he was still wearing his bracelet, heart skipping a beat at the sight. His gaze quickly found it's way up, as he didnt want to be caught staring. "Nice fashion choice there 4nonblondes. Did you really crave attention enough to make a bracelet where all eyes are on you?" He punctuated his statement with another scoff and eyeroll, his eyes now landing on the ship once more. "Ok. If we plan on this suicide mission, fo we at least have a plan B in case we are shot from the sky and fall to our deaths with barrels full of greek fire? Ya know? Things cool and all but not exactly life raft material in the case of a Titanic 2 via Echidna children."

"Massive flying ship is safe. Got it." He said, blinking. All he could think was that there was no way something like that was at all inconspicuous. Wouldn't people take note of something like that? Or was the Mist that strong? Either way, it was a lot to take in. But, he just had to keep rolling with the punches. This was the way things were now, and even if they were totally different, that just meant things were following a different set of rules. Arthur nodded with Des, "Let's go, I wanna get out of here." A change of scenery would help, he thought, give him a chance to sort through his feelings without constantly thinking of her.

The thought of monsters coming after them left him with a sense of dread, but the older kids seemed fine with it. This must just be one of the things Halfbloods had to get used to, especially if they ventured off camp. Monsters and demigods went hand in hand, it seemed. With that knowledge, he was grateful that Rebecca would be helping him hone his abilities on this journey. He didn't want to feel useless, or even worse, helpless ever again. This would help him with that, give him a way to protect himself and keep him, and the people he loved, safe. He didn't even know exactly what he could do yet, but he hoped that being a son of the god of the underworld had some benefits.

---

Mary nodded her head somewhat along with the conversations around her, giving Andy a bit of a small smile, "You alright there Andy?" she asked her, before once more her attention was drawn away by the chaos that was beginning to ensue. It all started when Zeke showed up at the Dining Pavilion, since he seemed to bring a bunch of chaos or whatever with him. Now that she was more of paying attention, she listened to his words revolving around Echnida, and the fact that odds were things weren't going to be easy for them on the west coast. "...Well things are never easy so..." she said with a shrug, as Leda more or less went off a bit at Zeke.

Usually she would side with her friend, and she could understand the sort of stress revolving around it, but still. This was just plain getting out of hand. She agreed with what Leda was saying, but maybe that wasn't the best way to go about saying things. Walking over to now be standing by her friend, she put a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, now's not really the time to be fighting okay? You can spar or something with Zeke some other time, but right now we need to get going... It is there choice Leda, okay? I'm sure it'll be fine... It's just the way things are..."

---

---

Janelle let out a bit of a sigh in regards to Zeke's comments at the beginning. "Apologies, I should not have somewhat snapped at you about that. Just it tends to be a bit of a touchy subject whenever someone mentions eyesight in anyway or something like that for me... However, I did not see anything that particularly stood out to me, since as I mentioned, not being able to see the world causes some limitations on how much I notice with my eyesight..." she said to him, nodding her head slightly as the conversations started to turn more into a shouting match.

"I'm all for Janelle not going, but I also know better then to stop her once she's made up her mind," Jason muttered, definitely agreeing with Leda on her comments regarding whether or not Janelle should be going on the quest at all. He thought that she shouldn't be going on this quest, especially considering the fact that she just discovered that she was a demigod literally the day before. This was all still new to the both of them, but he also knew that Janelle already had an idea on his opinion, and voicing it even more would likely get her to smack him over the head or something.

"You all are more then a bit ridiculous," Janelle said, shaking her head slightly as the voices were starting to argue about whether or not she should even be going, as well as what was going on with Zeke and Leda. "Look, it's my choice, so stop arguing as if I'm not here, and stop acting like I am an invalid incapable of making my own choices! Believe it or not, I am perfectly capable of holding my own against anything, and the fact that you all seem to think otherwise makes me want to smack you all over the head. So how about you all shut up about whether or not I should be going anywhere!"

"I knew that. Honestly trust me, trying to talk her out of it is near impossible. Trying to talk her out of anything she's set her mind on something is a waste of breath. Also pretending like she can't hear you when her hearing is arguably better then most people's is kind of a dumb thing... So I'd just stop arguing about it, she's decided that she's going, and nothing you do can change her mind," he said to the group, shaking his head. "So, if we're going to get going on our missions or whatever, let's get going already..."

---

---

"And you're just guessing that we got the right ones going, then," Leda pointed out to Chiron. He didn't seem to be bothered by the situation or her argument. He didn't even really seem to get the point of it. Janelle's lack of training was a concern, but Leda's outburst was more due to a combination of teenage hormones and the fact that the prophecy could have been talking about completely different children of Athena, Apollo, and Hypnos. It annoyed her that Kristin and Zeke were going to be the ones off to save the world, when she viewed them (mostly Zeke) as incompetent at best. She shot a glare at Zeke, his inane reply annoying her to death.

"This isn't some childish game, Zeke," she snapped at him. "Get over your bullshit and realize that the entire world is at stake - and you just want to gamble it all on your own pride. I swear on the River Styx, you have to be the most insufferable person here!" She huffed. She usually didn't let Zeke get to her like that, but with the horrors about to be unleashed on the world she was on edge. It didn't help that she had to spend this quest in close quarters with her ex-girlfriend too. She didn't really calm down when Mary told her to just accept it as the way things were. Janelle similarly didn't seem to get her point. Leda was surrounded by idiots.

Rebecca sighed. She knew Leda knew better than to swear on the River Styx. And she knew that when Leda got in this hot-tempered mood, her pride would end up pushing and pushing her. There was very little point in trying to persuade her otherwise. She agreed with her that the choices of those going on the quest were arbitrary, but Rebecca also knew that her best chance at helping the world would be to set sail for Camp Jupiter as quickly as possible. "Right or wrong, even if the prophecy meant other children of those gods... We have to sail for Camp Jupiter now. None of us meet the description of the prophecy. If Rosie realizes the wrong ones were sent, she can sent the appropriate ones from those here at camp," Rebecca reasoned. Of course, this all assumed that the children in the prophecy had already been identified and were at camp.

She then looked at the child of Zeus. "If we do end up falling, hopefully you might be able to capture the winds and save us," Rebecca said. "If not, I might be able to provide a magical remedy." She could see if there was something in her grimoire that could be of help. Now was the time to leave at any rate. They could devise back up plans once they set sail.

Alannah looked at Mona for a moment, and then over towards Lauryn who just shrugged slightly. "We can discuss job duties while on the way there, anyway gonna go and set up the coordinates for our destination." Lauryn said as she started to climb up the rope ladder that led to the main deck of the ship. Alannah smiled a little bit, they did have their own projection on the ship, and she would obviously expect some monsters on the way as well. "We will be prepared for anything if any monsters show up, we have ballistae, some crossbows, greek fire, a few explosives here and there and a mini armory as well." Demetri who asked about what kind of weapons and defenses that they had onboard as well.

Chiron closed his eyes a little bit, he didn't like sending anyone out on quests, they were always dangerous and there was always the chance that someone might not ever come back. Demigod lives were always tragic and always ended up short, without the proper training and knowledge. "I don't like it either." Chiron said while looking over at Leda.

Kiera could understand where Leda was coming from, she probably wouldn't even volunteer for their little quest either, which since she didn't really have any kind of fighting experience since her week being here. Kiera gently rested a hand on Leda's shoulder to try and calm her down a little bit and tried to give her a little smile. She wasn't sure why Leda had a major dislike for Kristin and Zeke, while looking over at Chiron looking like he didn't really like the decision either.

Though they did have to try and save the world from whatever was going to be happening. "I believe in them, and that they will be fine though." Kiera said, she was mostly worried about Janelle but the girl seemed to be able to handle everything on her own so far. "C'mon lets go and see the ship." Kiera said giving Leda a smile trying to change the subject, while making her way towards the rope ladder and climbed up until she was on the deck now.

Kristin gave Leda a little bit of an annoyed look, sure it wasn't her first time going on a quest she did have her camp beads to show that as well. Kirstin didn't like going out on quests to much either knowing how dangerous they were. And having someone so new and fresh as a who was also blind would make things a little bit tougher as well. Though if Janelle said she was going to be fine, Kristin believed her as well and would make sure that she is safe still.

"If Janelle says she is fine, then I am as well, she proved yesterday that she is capable of defending herself to." Kristin said, and she would obviously train her as well while on their way over. Kristin had a feeling that none of them would be taking the fancy ship to their destination. Kristin looked over towards Rebecca and gave her a friendly smile a little bit. "Just make sure that everyone is safe." Kristin did trust her to make sure that everyone is safe on their way to Camp Jupiter, and also to annoy Leda just a little bit knowing that Rebecca was Leda's ex as well. She looked over towards Chiron for a moment, they would need a ride and some tickets as well to New York. "We should get ready to go." Kristin said, she remembered where the vision had given a location where they should start first. "The camp car is already for the three of you to go, Argus will be waiting for you just outside of the camp barrier." Chiron said, Kristin nodded and started to make her way there.

Andy was not reassured by her brother's questions. It actually made her a lot more nervous about the whole thing. After having fallen been pushed out of the tree she was a lot more mentally conscious about heights and was not looking forward to the whole flying ship thing. But she took a deep breath, glanced back at the camp taking it in and hoping she'd see it again, she climbed up onto the ship. She shivered on the deck for a moment and found an out of the way spot.

"How does this thing even fly?" She asked. Though she wasn't certain if she actually wanted to know or not. Was the answer just flatly 'magic' or was there some technical stuff that would be over her head anyway. Andy was frustrated. She didn't understand the non-demi-god information just as much as she didn't understand the demi-god information. The only thing that had been easy and comfortable for her had been fighting. That all came to her like she already knew it and was just reminding her body.

---

Ezekiel’s mood was not helped by Demetri’s voice. One he agreed with him and that did not reassure Ezekiel in the least and then he insulted his bracelet. ”I believe you are the attention hog Demetri. Why don’t you ask Rebecca what the evil eye means on your journey hmm?” He turned away from Demetri, not caring for his drivel. He shook his head at Leda. ”Isn’t that what I said? Echidna is sending people after you and you jumped down my throat like caring about you or anyone’s well-being is a prideful thing. I’m not playing games Leda. I don’t mess with quests and with the safety of people. We all had to train from nothing,” Ezekiel said, feeling rather offended. He was a protector and he would do everything in his limited power to ensure Kristen and Janelle’s safety. He cared for people and their health. Had she so quickly forgotten this in her rage for him? Besides, Janelle was a quick learner and had a fierce determination. That was half the qualities of a demi-god anyways.
He looked over at Kristen when she mentioned it was time to go. Hallelujah. Chiron told them everything was in place and Ezekiel nodded and headed that way. The others started to get on the ship and he turned his head back to watch some of them. ”Apollo send light to guide them in the dark and knowledge to see them through,” Ezekiel muttered a prayer before he turned his head back and walked to the car. He shoved his headphones into his ears and turned on some music to drown out everything else.

Yeesh. A lot of things had gotten out of hand very quickly. He hadnt meant to have a multitude of people jumping down Zekes throat and there was no real need for all this tension at the moment. Everyone seemed to be going on a dangerous mission and truth be told Demi just wanted a nice bowl of Top Ramen with and egg in it and to let the real gods deal with all this bull. But apparently it couldnt be that way. As Zeke finally got a chance to speak up amongst the chaos, it seemed he snapped back like a rubberband pulled too taught. The sting it left was not fully visible though his remark let him know that Zeke was clueless as to the origins of the bracelet he had gotten this morning. Once the blonde haired Adonis, I mean demi-God, had stepped away; Demetri turned to the others with a elongated and slightly sassy "Yiiiikes. His knickers were certainly in a bunch. Though really...I think we all went a little to harsh on him there, he was just trying to help us and I hate that i agree.

So why dont we all just calm down a little bit and go inspect our new home for the next however long we'll be stuck there." Demetri had made his way towards Leda, attempting to shift down into a cat but his emotions halting him for a moment before finally settling into the pure black sleek figure of a house cat with emerald eyes. He began to nuzzle against her legs and purr as he attempted to calm her down. He could practically feel the anger radiating off of her as cats are known to do. He purred harder and tried to make it so the small vibrations could reach her chest and heart to help lower their beats and soothe her soul. Thus ofcourse was all in vain as the womans ire seemed determined to remain despite his best efforts. His green eyes narrowed as he let out a meow and ran towards the rope ladder, claws digging into the fibers of the thing and making his way up to the ship. At least if he fell it would be feet first with 9 lives.

Mona gave one last look at the camp before pressing forward with the others to get on board the flying ship. As she did so, it occurred to her that Arthur was probably the one dealing with Ash's death the most. They were closer in age and this new experience probably bonded even more. She made a mental note to check on the kid. It wasn't a good time presently with others around. Plus, they were about to launch into their trip.

Mona climbed on board and scouted the ship. It was impressive work. She could only imagine the adventures experienced on it. Mona had never considered herself one for travel. Sure, running away some times sounded nice, but she had always considered finding a place she enjoyed and sticking around. Seeing the world was good for some people, she didn't relish it more and perhaps that was on her to deal with. Perhaps seeing the world outside of the walls she put up would be good for her. The fact she was considering it was already a step in the right direction.

Following tightly after his sister, Arthur found himself climbing up the the ship, ready to leave this place behind for the time being. He could sense the uncertainty in Andy's words, and he knew that he should probably have more reservations about this entire thing than he did right now, but he couldn't bring himself to worry. He just figured that any risks imposed by being on this thing were minimized; being a dmeigod was dangerous, but not because the camp was reckless. That was the operative theory for him anyway.

Reaching the deck of the ship, he cleared way for anybody behind him, making sure he wouldn't get in the way. A part of him wanted to disappear, check out the interior of the ship as an excuse to get away from people, but he figured he could hold himself here for a few more minutes at least, up until they had to go. After that? He planned on getting some much needed space. This ship seemed large enough that he could hopefully wander it, and not be quickly found. Something about that idea, he found comforting, squirreling himself away from the others, at least for a little while.

Mary let out a bit of a sigh at Leda's outburst. She wasn't too sure what else to really say to her friend, even though she knew that overall she had a point. There could be completely different demigods that the prophecy was talking of, it just mentioned who they were the children of, not who they were. It was something that scared her somewhat, but she wasn't going to admit that at all. She'd mention that later to Leda maybe, in order to hopefully make her feel better. There was no point in arguing the issue now, they couldn't really do much of anything about it.

Glancing over at Leda once more, she waved goodbye to the others, before she climbed up the ladder, heading to the ship. This was definitely going to be an interesting experience, she'd never been on a flying ship before, and now here she was. On a boat that as others voiced their concerns about it being the Titanic. Mary certainly hoped that wouldn't be the case, as she stepped off to the side slightly in order to allow others up as she looked at everything. "So, this'll be fun won't it?" she commented, not really saying it to anyone in particular.

Jason was just sitting back watching the arguing and yelling that seemed to be going on around here. These people were more then just a little bit strange, and seemed to be constantly at each other's throats or something at this point. Why did they all stick around or seem to hang around each other if that seemed to be the case? Nothing was making all too much sense, but he more or less stood there glancing over at the ladder that led up to the flying ship where they'd head off on their little adventure, or quest which is what they called it.

"I've been ready to go for a little while now Kristin," Janelle said in her direction, giving her more then a small smile about things. Even though the mission was dangerous, and she could die on it, she was a little excited for it. It would give some excitement to her typically boring life, and would allow her something to do. It was no secret that if her brother had his way, she'd stay home and not really do much of anything, but there wasn't anything she could do about that. "You should probably climb up the ladder Jason... Don't want to be left behind now do you?"

"Tá imní orm faoi Janey. D’fhéadfadh sé seo deireadh a chur go héadrom agus is eol duit é. Cén fáth ar oibrigh tú go deonach don iarracht? D'fhéadfadh duine éigin eile a bheith imithe i d'áit," he said in response, shaking his head slightly at her, having switched to speaking Gaelic as opposed to English.

"Tá a fhios agam sin, ach ní gá duit a bheith buartha go mór, tar éis an tsaoil, ní kid beag mé anois. Is duine fásta mé beagnach, ní mór duit foghlaim chun ligean dom an méid a theastaíonn uaim a dhéanamh seachas suí siar agus gan rud ar bith a dhéanamh. Go háirithe ag cur san áireamh gurbh é seo deireadh an domhain..."

"Agus é sin á rá, ní dóigh liom gur fearr liom go dtéann tú ar thuras contúirteach."

"Ná bí buartha fúm. Beidh mé breá, táim níos mó ná mé féin ábalta aire a thabhairt dom féin an gcreideann tú sin nó nach gcreideann tú. Ná bíodh imní ort, ceart go leor?

"Má deir tú amhlaidh... Ní fearr leat bás, ní bhíonn aon teaghlach fágtha againn go díreach."

Janelle smiled slightly before giving her brother a bit of a hug, "You need to get going."

"Alright, I'll see you later Janey," he said with a smile, before waving slightly at Zeke and Kristin, and he walked over and headed up the ladder.

She turned her attention to the other two, "So, let's get going now then yes?"
