Leda nodded slightly - it made sense that Ares and Athena would be the leading cabins. They both had godly parents relating to warfare. Leda's mother, on the other hand, had the reputation for being a bit of a hippie - she wouldn't have been shocked to find out that Iris had protested the Vietnam War back in the day. And probably a million other wars that Leda had never heard of as well. Sure, in some situations it sucked having one of the most minor goddesses for a parent - but it all ultimately came down to propaganda. People had more name recognition of the main twelve and that was one of the reasons why Leda liked taking care of shrines. Everyone got to be remembered, then.

"Yeah, I could eat," Leda said. She ran her hands over her braid for a moment, making sure that it wasn't too terribly messy this early in the day. "Oh really? We're going out on scouting missions now? I thought that was a Satyr thing," she pointed out. However, it would be nice to leave camp and have a change of scenery. Capture the Flag was fun, but it also was incredibly fake. Getting out there, seeing the world, doing some good... It could be nice.

"That guy sounds like he was probably a bit on the annoying side," she said with a bit of a laugh. It was nice, just being able to be out in the fields, just talking back and forth. It was calming, and she couldn't help but feel better knowing that she could have a friendly conversation with someone away from just about all the other campers. This area was definitely her favorite place in the entire camp, and was glad that they could get away from everything.

"Of course I'm going to play Capture the Flag, are you crazy? It is one of the best things to do around here, I love it," she said, smiling. It was likely going to be a lot of fun, and she didn't really care if her team ended up losing, that sort of thing was not something she'd miss doing. "Guessing you're going to play too? Or are you going to be lame and skip out on it?" she asked with a slight smile, it was a serious question, but she was partially teasing a bit on the whole, being lame thing.

@Morose Tammy gave a slight shrug towards Leda. "I don't know the details about it, just something I heard Chiron talking about earlier today. Seems like theres a number of monsters there, so probably asking for assistance." Tammy answered, as she smiled towards Leda and nodded towards her. "Everyone should be at the dining pavilion now at this point anyway for lunch as well, i'm starving." The same Limnade from earlier started to come out of the water again, and sent another wave of water at both Tammy and Leda, drenching them completely in water this time, as the other water spirits started to laugh and then they all disappeared back under the water. Tammy glared at the lake, and started to mutter and swear in ancient Greek. "I'm going to get some dry clothes first." Tammy said, before heading back over towards the cabins.

@BlueSky44 "Well of course i'm going to join in, that and the chariot races are always the best things to do at camp." Eva said smiling towards Mary. "Though not sure who the Athena and Ares cabins are going to end up picking for their teams." Eva said shrugging slightly as she felt her stomach growling a little bit. "We should grab some lunch, lunch is pretty soon or has already started as well." Eva said and smiled looking at the other siblings, as they all got the same idea as well as they turned and started to make their way towards the dining pavilion. "Coming with?" Eva asked Mary.

"And dolphins need water to survive, and since we are a couple of yards away from the Sound or the lake you'd have a really hard time living without water, even if they are the smartest creatures out there." Kristin said, towards Zeke as he went back to sitting with the rest of his cabin mates and rolled her eyes ever so slightly. Bryan looked at Zeke and smiled towards him and gave a slight nudge, as he went back t eating. "I could always order you to join." Bryan said, though he was mostly joking, he wouldn't really order anyone around unless they really wanted to.

The dining pavilion started to fill in with more, and more campers now, as they all got their food as well as giving up a small portion of their food to the gods as well. Kristin would occasionally look over at the head table as things started to get a little bit louder at the dining pavilion as the cabin tables were slowly getting filled, the only ones that weren't filled were the Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades table. They were always empty since there weren't any of the Big Three that were there at camp currently anyway, and Chiron, Mr. D and Rosie were having a bit of a heated discussion at the moment it looks like.

"Well if you want me to spike her coffee with laxatives I can, I know she drinks coffee like it's fucking crack." Kiera said with a slight laugh as she thought of some other ideas that she could do. "And she wouldn't even know it's in there." She suggested, as she looked at Roman and his little creepy gang of misfits and shook her head ever so slightly. "No, we still have another couple of minutes." Kiera said, as soon as Ash got up, she would find out that the courtyard doors were locked.

There were three other doors, into the area as Kiera got up and tried the other one closest to her, she realized that it was also locked, looking a little bit confused as Kiera turned to look over at Desdemona and Arthur who were at the other end of the courtyard sitting there still. While Coach Hedge was still on his phone, his bat on the side of the wall he was watching some MMA matched right now by the looks of it, cheering on completely oblivious what was going on still. "I paid the other kids to lock the doors, so good luck trying to unlock it." Roman said smirking as he and his group looked at the four of them and started to laugh slightly which sounded really creepy at this point now.

Mona debated if the boy had lost his train of thought or not when she heard the nearby snickering of Roman and his horde of imbeciles. She turned her head to look at noticed they seemed to think something was hilarious and, given their track record, it most likely wasn't. She mentally flipped them into the sun until she heard a noise like a door rattling. It was Kiera trying to get in. Roman thought this was super funny and it seemed like he and his cohort locked it.

She stood up now. "Scuse me for one second. I'm about to get in trouble." Mona walked over to the beloved gym teacher, ever engrossed in his phone. She picked up the bat next to him and walked over to the door with it perched over her shoulder. She gently moved Kiera to the side and gave Roman and his crew the middle finger.

THWACK!

She hit the glass. A small crack formed but it only taunted her.

THWACK!

And with a satisfying crash, the glass shattered and the door was free. She threw the bat down before she gestured inside. "Open sesame."

Locked doors were never a good sign, though she would call them a interesting one in the option of being generous. Though being so was the furthest thing from Athanasia's mind as she turned on graceful feet to face Roman and his posse. So they were locked out here with these louts? It seem to be the day of interesting things, and to think she had been worried about the horrid teacher! While she wasn't one to admit it, Athanasia was always in envy of her mother's tall figure and hoped to catch the growth spurt that would allow her to match Ryssa Theroux one day. With her matching pale hair and far paler skin than her mother, she would be counter point to Ryssa's tanner complexion from her time in ruins and those startling blue eyes. If only she had those instead of her soulless black eyes that made folk shiver and question about her.

Quirking a brow, Athanasia sniffed in disdain. "You paid them off... I never you for more than a lout, leaving me in wonder at how you managed to get such money? Unless you have a rich daddy to pay it off for you? You're shield against us four poor paupers?" Utter ice filled the young girl's voice as she descended the steps to the ground again, her dark eyes flashing. While Athanasia herself came from money, it had never been openly at her disposal. But then again, she had never really wanted for anything. Channeling the cool scorn her mother held for those who were trespassing upon ancient ruins without respect for them, Athanasia smirked a little. "Oh la, Roman. You could have merely asked. I might have obliged. Ah, well... Kiss kiss." The ten year old crooned in a tone of sheer venom, the words being sweet and adorable if they hadn't the undertone meaning that Roman might as well go shove the flagpole up his butt.

Arthur glared over towards Roman, making note that he'd have to get back at him later. Mona, however, apparently had very different plans, as she acted rashly to say the least. He appreciated Mona, but he felt as if her particular method of doing things lacked finesse, to put it kindly. He looked away as she smacked into the window, allowing himself a small smile. Say what you want about Mona, but she was effective, and good at sending a message. He was a bit worried about the ensuring rage that was sure to come, but he was certain he could brave it.

Clearing his throat, he quietly said ,"Thank you Mona." Before standing, and walking towards the door. Stepping over the bat, he crossed into the now opened door. He simply smiled at Roman, before saying, "That was quite funny, I'm sure I'll be having a laugh later as well." Keeping a good distance between the two of them, he turned back and waited to see the undoubted fury that was soon to come from the beast that is Coach Hedge. He worried about what was about to happen to Mona, but worst case scenario, she was expelled, and if that was the way to get out of here, it'd be hard to keep a bat out of Arthur's hands.

“Valid point but I think you would at least try to save me. You’d miss me, even if was just a wee bit,” he said to Kristen with a grin. Sure they weren’t the greatest of friends and it didn’t take much for Kristen to get Ezekiel riled up but they had gone on a quest together and they all made it back alive.
He nudged Bryan back and rolled his eyes before he sighed and drank some of his water.
”Alright alright, I’ll come play,” he said caving in. It would have been so much easier to turn down Bryan if he wasn’t annoyingly easy to like. He truly was the spitting image of their father. The sun itself and who didn’t like it when the sun smiled at them?
Ezekiel shoveled the rest of his food down as he watched campers finally pile in to eat. He would have to get a bit of a training session in today if he was going to be in any sort of fighting condition for the game this evening. Ezekiel was already planning his workout music playlist as he finished the remaining scraps of food on his plate.

"Or it's godly budget cuts," Leda joked. It reminded her slightly of a sketch a friend had told her about from some comedy show, where they poked fun at the fact that there was no Greek god of finance. However, Leda was more or less certain that the job would have fallen to Athena. Economics and wisdom went hand in hand. Just as she was about to head off to the pavillion to get some food with her sister, the limnade doused her and Tammy in water.

"Wow, rude..." Leda huffed a bit. She really didn't want to head back to her cabin and change. They'd be getting pretty filthy with Capture the Flag anyways, so she tried her best to just wring out her hair but it didn't really work. Eventually conceding to the fact that she would need to get changed, she headed back to the cabin along with her sister. Sitting in the pavilion soaking wet wasn't exactly one of her favorite things to do.

"I am a bit curious as to who they'll pick for their teams, but you are right. Chariots and capture the flag are the best things to do around here," she responded with a laugh, nodding her head slightly at that. She didn't really care which team she really got put on, either one works for her, and Capture the Flag was definitely going to be fun, even if she ended up on the team that lost. To her it didn't really matter if they win or lose, but more of just enjoying the game.

Hearing Eva make a comment about food, she realized that she was actually hungry at the moment. Shouldn't really be too surprising, she had been in the Strawberry Fields for a while, guess she might have lost track of time just a little bit. "Alright, I'm coming too... I could use some food," Mary said, before she started heading that way. Mary wondered what was going on in the other places at the camp, but it didn't really matter, right now she just really wanted to eat something.

@Morose Tammy laughed slightly and nodded a bit towards Leda. "I think the Athena kids would certainly be great at financial stuff." She said, as they got to the Iris cabin. Right now it was fairly quiet since it was just the two of them, she made her way over towards her bunk and opened up her trunk. All the campers had their own trunks, whatever personal belongings that they had with them Tammy pulled out a camp shirt as well as a new pair of pants. Tammy then made her way into the bathroom that was inside the cabin and quickly got changed, laying her soaking wet clothes on her bed as soon as she stepped out. "The others are probably at the dining pavilion now, but I can wait if you want." Tammy said, as she made sure her trunk was locked up again.

@BlueSky44 Eva smiled slightly and nodded towards Mary as she made her way towards the Dining Pavilion and entered it, as she looked around seeing that everyone had gotten their lunch already. The other Demeter kids were either now just joining them, or they had already sat down and were eating. "Could always ask around the Athena and Ares cabins see what they have planned for teams." Eva suggested as she gave a slight shrug, as she sat down with her half siblings as food appeared onto her plate.

"Oh yeah i'd certainly help you out, if I could lift you up since dolphins way so much to." Kristin said, smirking at Zeke a bit, sure he had gotten on her nerves as well as Leda a bit. They did go on a quest together just the previous year, but still she hated that they always thought she was better than her because of her mother being Athena and all. She looked over at the door seeing Eva coming in as well and gave her a slight smile.

She had a few friends in the Demeter cabin as well, aside from her brothers and sisters Kristin also got along fairly well with the Demeter kids. Occasionally helping out in the fields as well when she didn't have any sort of training duties during the day, as Kristin looked over towards Zeke. "So want to train later Zeke?" Kristin asked, she of course was bored and had some free time after lunch as well, Bryan smirked at Zeke. "Awesome, glad to have you on board. As a reward you don't have to do anything when inspection day comes." Bryan said, since they had an inspection of the cabins later in the week as well.

Coach Hedge stared at Mona as she grabbed his bat, and walked over and proceeded to make her way over towards the closest door his face suddenly turned red with angry rage as he started to storm his way over towards her. Kiera felt Mona lightly moving her out of the way as she gave the small glass on the window a good two hits. The first one did nothing, however the second one broke it Kiera winced slightly as a bit of glass cut her arm slightly, but the door was opened. "Thank you." Kiera said towards Mona and gave her a slight smile as she turned to look over at Roman who looked visibly angry now.

Everyone who was in the courtyard would see that Roman's cohorts started to visibly changed, they were really ugly before but they were certainly very ugly now and much taller as well. "Can we eat these Half-bloods now?" One of them asked, as Roman turned to look at them and nodded. "Go ahead." He said looking over at Ash and smirked towards her. "You'd certainly make a good appetizer you and him." Roman smirked as he stared over at Arthur as well. "Fuckin hell cyclops.." Hedge said as he looked towards the four of them while glaring over at Mona.

"Unless you want to be eaten you might want to run you little shits." Hedge said as he went over and picked up his bat, as he waved for the group to follow him. Kiera just stared at the group of them, it didn't take much for her to see what was going on before her, but Kiera certainly did not want to be eaten or anything, she quickly started to follow shortly after them looking over at the others as she headed back into the building as the group of Cyclops started to run over towards them.

Athanasia had seen many things in her life, considering she was ten and everything. Her mother had a penchant for leading her daughter off into the depths of history. Explaining the different aspects to the younger girl. Though it was a question if Athanasia was listening or thinking about some wondrous amazing fact she had been told already. Of course when Mona broke the window, it snapped the pale girl's attention away to the tinkling of fallen glass as their coach took his bat back. His obsession with the object surely wasn't healthy, a small thought flickered in and out of the girl's mind before she noted that Roman's gang wasn't exactly just tall any more. Black eyes blinked as Athanasia took a step back, then another.

Well, she was a half-blood and it was no secret. Being half Swedish and American however was not something Athanasia chattered on about. A word or two in her mother's tongue perhaps! Though her black eye twitched as she glared at Roman with cold, pitiless eyes."Appetizers!? I am ten! Not food! Even for långa olyckor i naturen!" Athanasia snarled the insult though she did remember well enough a good few stories about the cyclops and well, real or not, she was ten. They were taller, meaner, and she didn't have a sword or parasol with her! If she did, why! She'd teach them a thing or two. Scampering towards Kiera who was the epithet of safety for the minute and into the school the pale girl bolted after Coach Hedge. "Oh, la! There no need to be coarse!" She admonished the tiny man. "And- Why are there Cyclops at the school? Their too stupid to learn!" It made sense that cyclops existed, even if mother said it was only a legend. It was just like the giant three headed puppy right? One body, three heads a whole lot of adorable and cuteness. If cyclops were real, then that was real to?

To say that this was by far the least expected outcome would be the understatement of the millennium. He took a shaky step backwards, and didn't have anything to say as the students morphed into one eyed monsters the likes of which he assumed were fundamentally impossible. He placed a hand over his mouth, concerned for a moment that he may be driven to throw up in revulsion. One thought racked his consciousness, and that was survive. He barely could even process that Hedge was somehow protecting them against these things, only that he knew that staying close to him was the best way to not quickly become a corpse.

Ash had apparently opted for insanity, and decided to yell at the beasts. "Leave them alone, we need to get out of here." He said, his voice soft and his voice cracking a bit. Arthur wasn't a coward, but he was a pragmatist, and yelling at the beasts would serve him no purpose. He knew that he couldn't scare something like this, so it wasn't even worth trying. The mark of a true strategists is knowing when to to retreat, and by the gods if this wasn't the time. He got closer to hedge, ready to follow him wherever he wanted to take them.

Leda grabbed a change of clothes as well, trying her best not to drip on her bed. She really hated it whenever her bed got wet after a lake drenching - the moisture seemed to cling to the sheets longer than was appropriate. It was as if it was actively out to spite her - and she hadn't even done anything to anger Poseidon! Her job at Camp was essentially an effort to make sure none of the gods were angered. And yet, it always seemed to be that way - once wet, her sheets weren't the same again for what felt like an eternity.

"I'll just be a sec," Leda said, going into the bathroom and changing once her sister was out. She then came outside and put her wet clothes on top of her own trunk. She'd put them somewhere to dry properly later - but she sure as hell wasn't putting them on the bed itself. Wringing out her hair slightly again, she was contemplating rebraiding it entirely, but the messy look certainly was in. "Ready?" Leda asked her sibling, before she started heading to the dining pavilion.

Ezekiel ignored Kristen’s comment about his weight in dolphin form. It was a joke, Ezekiel knew that and anyone who had been listening knew that but he was going to be a little petty about it because, why not. He shifted in his seat, sitting a little taller to show off his not overweight form.
He listened to the idle chatter at his table about the game later on. Perhaps they would have a chance at winning, maybe he would have fun tonight. Maybe he’d let himself have fun.
Ezekiel turned his head back to Kristen when she asked if he wanted to train with her. He rose an eyebrow at her, his eyes sparkling with the idea of it.
”Why? So you can hand my ass to me multiple times?” Of course Ezekiel would train with her though. She wouldn’t take it easy on him, not for one minute and she would give him helpful pointers on it. At least until his name calling got too far out of hand and she would jump down his throat. He always seemed to push things just over the edge when there was absolute no reason for it. Oh well.

Mona expected to get in trouble. In fact, she yearned for it. Breaking a door was surely grounds for expulsion. So when the gym teacher came storming over, she faced him head-on. What she did not expect was Roman and his cronies. She glanced their way as they spewed more hate, but it wasn't normal. It was...darker.

And then they transformed. Mona did well in school, so she knew what was in front of her. However, what was in front of her should not exist. She backed up a bit. Her brain and body were fighting with each other to stay or flee. "Jeez Roman, you were ugly before. Didn't think it could get worse. Puberty is supposed to help you." In the end, her sarcasm won the fight, but that didn't stop her from following the others as they ran.

The gym teacher, whom she hated, by the way, seemed to know what was going on. "Mind telling us why we are being chased by creatures that should only exist in fantasy novels?"

Mary nodded her head simply as she followed after Eva into the Dining Pavilion. There seemed to be more than a few people in there already, but that wasn't all too surprising. It was lunch time, so of course it was going to have more than a few campers inside. She followed Eva to the table, and sat down at it. Now that she thought about it, she was pretty hungry, she supposed that working in the fields had basically made her forget that, which was always somewhat interesting to her at the least.

Hearing Eva's words, Mary thought a moment, thinking about what she should respond with. She was wondering what sort of teams would be formed for the Capture the Flag later. Personally, she would prefer to be teamed up with the Athena cabin, maybe anyway, or perhaps the Ares group, she didn't know really. "Maybe I will, honestly, I don't know which would be better to be teamed up with. Maybe asking around, someone can tell me maybe how things are going with team decisions... Which group would you want to be with?" she couldn't help but ask.

The dining pavilion wasn't that far, as she made her way inside of it and spotted the rest of her half siblings. She would look over at Eva and smiled towards her, both of the cabin counselors were pretty close friends, eventually she sat down and food appeared on her plate. "So any plans the rest of the day?" Tammy asked Leda looking over towards her for a moment as she started to eat a bit of her lunch.

Eva turned her attention back over towards Mary and thought for a moment and then gave a slight shrug, she didn't really care much for the Ares kids, they were always pretty annoying to her in her opinion. "Probably the Athena cabin if given the choice." Eva answered Marry as she continued to eat her lunch, which she eventually finished up eating as well. "But maybe ask around the other cabin counselors they might know more." Eva said shrugging slightly.

"You'd probably end up falling on your ass a couple of times before we even start." Kristin said with a slight laugh, she of course was joking around with him, she didn't mind training or sparing with Zeke. Even if he did really end up getting on her nerves a lot of the time as well. She turned to look at the head table as soon as the last of the campers had came in for lunch, as her attention turned to everyone in the building who were now enjoying their lunch.

Seeing both Leda and Marry joining in as well as the Iris and Demeter counselors both coming into just in time, as Chiron moved forward slightly in his wheelchair. Kristin wasn't sure why he always used the wheelchair constantly he could always get around much better when his centaur legs were out and wondered if it was uncomfortable being forced into that small chair as well. "Good afternoon everyone, it is good to see you all again." He said, even though the summer just started three days ago, everyone quieted down a bit since some had returned earlier that morning as well.

"Earlier today, I got a message from one of our Protectors and he believes he has found four potential half-bloods. The school that they are at apparently has a number of monsters there already, more than one that a single Protector can handle. I would like some volunteers to go out and help them." Chiron said, as he looked at those within the room.

"Yeah, why are there creatures from Harry Potter here?" Kiera asked, as she ran a bit behind Hedge, while looking over her shoulder as Roman's gang of cyclopes were running after them. There was a very loud crash as one of the cyclopes bashed through the wall that they had just left the courtyard from. Hedge looked towards Desdemona when she asked him as well and snorted slightly as he kicked off his shoes, which were actually in the shape of goat legs which everyone could easily see.

"Well you cupcakes are most likely half-bloods, or demigods whatever you wanna go by." He said, as he turned around a corner, as he continued to run. "All them Greek myths you take in school, well they all be real and all that." He said, as if he had given the whole spiel before numerous times before. Kiera looked towards Ash, she wasn't sure what he was saying was true at all or not, but now seeing cyclopes for the first time, as well as their coach having goat legs for actual legs. One of the cyclopes picked up a locker that was on the wall and tried to throw it.

As the locker flew forward, it nearly hit Desdemona as it flew over head, it broke once it hit the wall and all of it's contents were spilled all over the floor. "So, unless ya cupcakes want to be food then ya better listen to me and follow what I say." Hedge said as he led them to a stairwell now.

"Leave them be? Their the ones trying to eat us! Us being you and me at the top of the hour'de'vous menu!" Athanasia pointed out to the slightly older Arthur. Her voice rising to a panicked squeak as a locker was pitched over Mona's head, skipping over the contents as they clattered about the floor. Though watching the paper float on Eddie's created by their retreat, the pale girl got a horrible idea. Balling up the paper in her hands told it was as tight as she could get it, Athanasia turned slightly to hurl it at Roman's line eye.

"So if we're half-blood or whatnot, then what are we half of?" Athanasia called after their goat legged gym teacher as the paper ball smacked harmlessly against Roman's chest with no effect. Even as she asked the question, the ten year old was dreading the answer. What had her mother kept from her? Why? As young as she was, Athanasia had no trouble believing in the Greek myths. What she had trouble with was- "And why do they want to eat us?"

Ezekiel grumbled to himself with Kristin’s comeback. One time. You trip over air one time and you never hear the end of it. Come to think of it, it probably wasn’t air at all. Damned Leda.
He moved to stand from his seat when Chiron addressed the whole pavilion. Silence fell over the students as he spoke and Ezekiel readjusted to look at the head table and listened to the man speak. A school full of monsters. Four demi-gods in one place. That was rare. Hmm. Ezekiel leaned back and looked at Bryan with the mention of volunteers. He wouldn’t be surprised if he jumped at the occasion but he looked back at Kristin and waited.
”Well go on Athena’s chosen, up you go,” he pushed her with a smirk.
Ezekiel looked from Kristin’s blonde hair to the three empty tables. They hadn’t had any of the big three in a long while. He supposed that was a good thing for the rest of them. They had a chance finally be seen, to prove themselves just as good. Ezekiel shifted, feeling the sun hit his back and fill him. Before he knew it, he was standing, volunteering himself for an adventure, rather than being told.

Sometimes, it felt so incredibly slow to just walk places. She and her siblings could move incredibly quickly, thanks to their mother's job as a messenger of the gods. Sometimes, it made her wonder if any demigods had ever actually tried to be superheroes with their powers - though the Mist would have prevented them from being seen as anything extraordinary. She could have zipped around like the Flash and no one would blink an eye. It was moments like these where she wondered whether the Mist was needed - long ago, people knew about the things that it hid. And then they stopped believing in them. Was the Mist the reason why?

It was fun to antagonize one's friends a little bit from time to time.
