[IC] Song of Heroes - a Percy Jackson RP (Morose & DragonicQueen)

The Stables...

Lorna didn't know what she wanted to say in response. She didn't even know what she had been hoping for Kitty to say. Everything just felt confusing. She felt like she was dangling upside down, the blood in her body draining into her head; she was positively sick to her stomach. "Oh, huh, cool! I-I don't think I've ever really liked anybody - which is fine, not that I'm like rushing towards it or anything, I've just never felt that way about a guy before - but maybe I will one day, but yeah, thanks!" Lorna found herself rambling. Somehow though, her own words made her feel uneasy - like she was missing something important.

They landed, but Lorna still felt like she was up in the sky. Her legs felt unstable on the ground as she hopped off of the pegasus. "Oh right, yeah, I guess it is getting kinda late - that was really fun, thanks for taking me up there!" Lorna said, although the cheerfulness made her feel weird. And she didn't know why. And she didn't want to unpack why. "Um, I guess I'll see you after dinner? I should probably go now, if I want to get an actual seat at the table, and not the floor..." the Hermes table got crowded pretty quickly these days. Too many unclaimed campers.

"What about a girl? I mean, nothing wrong with that, girls are pretty..." Kitty hadn't yet really explored liking girls yet, she thought they where cute and stuff but she had always gone for guys more. "But yeah, no rush on you know liking people romantically. Hell... the Aphrodite cabin is bad enough to deal with normally. Once they know you got a crush its all over." She shakes her head a bit before nodding. It was nice to fly about for a while, hell sometimes she wished to just.... fly right out of camp and see her family but that'd be a bad very very bad idea.

Kitty laughed a bit. "Oh right, the floor wouldn't be any fun. I remember that happening to me a few times before Luke stated making sure I didn't get the floor seat." Now she had a whole table to herself, every time. Plenty of space. "I'll see you at dinner." The girl finished settling the Pegasus down before deciding to head to the pavilion when the horn blared. She wandered over to her table, sitting down to wait for the announcements like every time.

The Pavilion...

Lorna barely managed to get to the pavilion in time to get an actual seat at the Hermes Table - and even then, it was one of the ones on the end. It could've been worse though - some of her siblings had essentially just a single butt cheek on the bench, half squatting in place just to be able to eat at the table. The unlucky ones who didn't get there fast enough groaned and sighed in disappointment as they ended up with a floor seat, a position that required you to watch your fingers constantly and protect your plate and cup, as people would (whether or not it was on purpose) kick them routinely.

She glanced towards the middle of the table, where Luke was sitting and chatting with Percy. He did have a certain resemblance to Kitty, she had to admit. They had the same sort of restlessness in their eyes that reminded Lorna of the choppy waters of the sea. She wondered what that would mean, however... There was a reason there weren't very many children of the Big Three at Camp - the last one before Kitty had gotten turned into a tree. And then, there was the prophecy - one that Lorna had never heard herself, only that she knew it referred to a child of the Big Three...

Did it mean Kitty... or could it actually refer to Percy?

At the front of the pavilion, Chiron stamped his hooves, calling everyone to attention. "Listen up, demigods! I have a few announcements that I would like to make, before this evening's meal."

[DragonicQueen]

Kitty listened somewhat to Chirons announcements about Capture the Flag and whatever else. She was glancing over at the Hermes table. Percy was still a mystery to her, but she knew in her heart he was Poseidons son. How the pipes bursted and water attacked Clarisse, how he suddenly had gotten good at sword fighting after having some water. It was no doubt. Yet if he was... it was just going to be more troubling for everyone. The prophecy hadn't been told to her fully but she knew on her sixteenth birthday that something big was going to happen. Percy was younger so obviously it was still her having to deal with that enevatable doom to come.

She looked away once seeing campers getting up in order to burn food for the gods. The girl got up and gave some fruit to the fire. 'Just claim Percy already.... its obvious hes your son, Father.' She walked back and ate her dinner while listening to everybody talking.

Once dinner was over the campers all went wild as the flags entered the pavilion. The rules got told quickly before everyone rushed off to get in their places for the game. Kitty got on her armor, pulled off her necklace that turned into the scorpion whip. She heard gasps and murmurs from campers, ones that had yet to see her new weapon. "Jeez, she'll be as bad as Clarisse!" "Cross the creek quickly then if you see her." "Eek! Glad shes with us this time around!" The sea girl just gave a smirk while heading to the creek to do her usual boarder patrol.

She could hear the hooting and hollering after a moment had passed, then she noticed Percy not to far off from her position. The girl snuck over before whipping her sword back, it hit against his shield, making a horrid metallic bang. "Ah darn. I thought I was quiet enough." She pulled the whip back. It looked like she was keeping her feet in the creek water, meaning the demigod was going to be far quicker and stronger.

Capture the Flag...

Blue Team: Athena, Apollo, and Hermes
Red Team: Ares, Dionysus, Demeter, Aphrodite, Ares, Hephaestus, and Poseidon

The current champions of Capture the Flag were the Ares cabin - a fact that Lorna would like to see reversed. They tended to be some of the cruelest kids at Camp, no doubt taking after their father. Clarisse had given Lorna a few swirlies from time to time, but now she seemed to have gone onto a new target: Percy Jackson. While Lorna was guarding the Blue Team's flag, Luke was off in a risky maneuver to try to take the Red Team's flag. Lorna hadn't been entirely filled in on the plan, only knowing that Annabeth from the Athena Cabin had planned some sort of diversion to get Clarisse and the others off guard.

No one seemed to be approaching their flag yet, but Lorna kept her eyes peeled.

Meanwhile at the river, Percy startled as seemingly out of nowhere, Kitty appeared and attacked him with her whip sword. His lightning fast refluxes barely managed to lift the heavy shield in front of himself in time. He looked almost comically small, peering out from underneath his too large helmet, weighed down by the heavy oversized armor. "Woah!" Percy exclaimed, before swinging at Kitty with his sword, his feet out of the water.

He didn't notice the sound of twigs snapping, as other members of the Red Team approached.

Clarisse seemed to have appeared with some of her siblings. All looking ready to beat Percy into the ground. "Back off Sea girl, the twirp is ours."

Kitty backed off right away, not wanting to get in the middle of the fighting. "No problem. I'll just go over this way!" She ran off to see if she could find somebody else to mess with if they where near the river. The Ares kids weren't ones to mess with, she was lucky to be on their good side since she was friends with Tyler.

The Ares children started attacking Percy, not caring if they hurt him or anything. They seemed to not even care about going after the flag. He was their main focus the poor kid.

Fable was darting through the tress with her bow, covering her team mates who where rushing with the Red Teams flag. She was hitting people with arrows that where smoke clouds that flashed in order to make them confused. Being one of the best shots in her cabin was helpful in this case for getting Red team away from her teammates.

Clarisse and the others showed Percy no mercy, but he attempted to hold his own. They managed to put a deep aching wound into his arm, blood flowing from his hand onto his sword. The subsequent pain - as well as the fact that they continued to press him - caused Percy to stumble backwards, his feet landing in the shallow creek that formed the boundary between the sides of the woods. Anyone who witnessed it would not have believed their eyes. The wound healed. And Percy Jackson, a kid who hadn't even been there a full summer, managed to beat back Clarisse and the others with ease.

And thanks to Fable's quick and able bow, the group rushing back to the Blue Team lines - led by Luke, who had the flag clutched in his hand - rushed on through with ease. Lorna's eyes lit up as she saw the red team flag come rushing on up, flying in the wind as Luke clutched it in one hand. "Hooray!!!!!" she cheered, abandoning her post and rushing forward. The Blue Team were in the midst of celebrations, cheering and hollering.

Whereas by the creek, a deadly growl sounded... Out of nowhere, a hellhound had manifested itself. It rushed at the young unclaimed demigod, intent on maiming Percy Jackson - but as suddenly as it appeared, Chiron's quick bow had skewered it with arrows, reducing it to monster dust.

But that was not the most surprising thing to occur.

No, that was the fact that young Percy Jackson, standing in the creek again in order to heal, had the glowing symbol of Poseidon above him.

The Blue Team's cheers died down, as most of them had made it to the creek by now, staring at Percy with transfixed horror and awe.

"Hail, Percy Jackson. Son of Poseidon," Chiron said ominously.

Seeing a hellhound was rather startling, most of the campers seemed shocked but even more so as the trident above Percy appeared. A child of the Big Three. Now there was two in the camp, meaning that camp was slowly becoming more unsafe it seemed with what had just happened. Kitty stared at her new brother, she had already known he was Poseidon's, it wasn't hard to figure out with how he reacted with water. Usually people would be happy to get claimed but this wasn't a cause of celebration. She just gave Percy a look, apologetic, she did feel bad for him. The campers all headed back to their cabins afterwards.

Morning | Poseidon Cabin

In the morning Percy had packed his things from the Hermes cabin in order to be placed in the Poseidon cabin. It seemed to be well....rather messy inside. Kitty was busy moving things from one side of the cabin to the other. Fabrics and crafts seem to be sprawled all over the floor and desk. One of the bunkbeds was filled up with plushies. The stereo was playing music, not very loudly, it seemed the girl was singing along as she was cleaning up.

"Oh! Ah.... hey. Sorry its a mess right now um.... just set your things on an empty bunk." Kitty says when seeing Percy enter the cabin.

[Morose]

Poseidon Cabin...

Percy hesitated for a bit in the entranceway of the cabin. It felt like a sunken bunker, as if fish would drift by the window at any moment. But at the same time, it had almost more of a lived-in feeling than the Hermes Cabin did, despite their being only two occupants. His cheeks went slightly red, as he set down his few belongings on an empty bunk - the minotaur horn mainly. He kept Riptide in his pocket. Besides a change of clothes in one of the camp bags, he didn't really have much of anything.

"How long did everyone stare at you like you were a flesh eating alien?" Percy asked suddenly. "Because that's been happening since last night."

[DragonicQueen]

"Hmmmm.... Maybe a few weeks or a month? I can't recall." The demigod replied while. "I mean we're rather rare Demigods. Not really supposed to be alive actually. Theres a whole thing the Big Three gods agreed upon but guess that got broken. Like a lot."

Kitty shrugged before sitting on a bunkbed, there was little pictures on the wall behind her. Probably pictures of her friends and family. "You'll get used to it. People will stop staring I promise. You'll gain peoples trust again. Just will take a while cause they'll be a bit scared... but its not bad really. You have me to hang around. If anyone bullies you I'll make sure they stop." She smiles at him, trying to make him feel welcomed. It was probably a struggle. Going from unclaimed and trusted to claimed and nobody wanted to be near him.
