[IC] Percy Jacson: The Frozen Fortress

[Krein]

"Yes, we get it. You love the Titans. Can we all please just get on with this? According to Sobek's and my understanding there have been a number of things going wrong within your own Pantheon. This in turn causes trouble for the Egyptians and those who live under their way, meaning we're all basically getting screwed over in one way or another."

Michael propped his staff up on his shoulder as he leaned against a nearby tree with his left hand.

"Seeing as how we're a large group, shouldn't we split into divisions to know who will work better alongside each other? The 'Demititan Anarchists' might work well alongside Set and his host, Andrew, whereas those who are more level-headed like the daughter of Apollo and son of Athena over there will work better with someone like... Isis... and her host," Michael said, not willing to even mention Myra's name.

"Splitting off might be a bad idea considering the gravity of all our situations, but staying together and having certain niches and groups might help to ease our cohesive abilities...."

Michael messed around with the gold and bronze amulet around his neck, tracing the hieroglyphics for Sobek's name and symbols as he continued to think. He overheard some things during the original meeting in the Big House and then some comments from campers unwary of his presence. Hecate, Greek Titan or goddess of Magic was gone along with Apollo, Greek god of the sun. That was as far as he knew, and seeing as how Morpheus himself showed up to inform the others of this, there was obviously a more threatening force at work.

"How about we all just board whatever means of transportation we'll be using and then discuss all we want there while moving to our destinations. Did the old Sandman even tell us or give an idea of where to start?"

[booksmusicanime]

"No I don't think so and if he did I think I was too busy concentrating on not breaking my guitars neck that I didn't hear it." Alec said to Michel. She was surprised that anyone called her level-headed considering how much anger she has pint up under her calmness

[Krein]

Michael sighed as he finally stood from the tree he was leaning on, studying the jewels of his crocodilian staff as he thought and spoke. Despite his knowledge on the lore of the Greeks, there were still a couple of things he didn't know about. Things such as divine rivalries and bitter resentments could very much help with something like this.

"We could go all day telling you Greeks about which Egyptian god would be more likely to conspire against another Egyptian god, but we're still a bit unsure of such things with your gods. Hecate and Apollo have gone missing, right? Any idea which divine on your end of the spectrum would be interested in partaking or orchestrating such an occurrence?"

[Saarebas]

Both Andrew and Set had to hold back their strong urges to burst out into laughter. "I am the god of chaos, a being that can cause uprisings with a snap of my fingers, and yet all it takes is a few harsh words to get these guys at each other's throats." Set said with a smirk, still dawning his Egyptian armor but now having his long black steel staff strapped to his back, standing next to Andrew who was currently leaning against a tree. Andrew couldn't help to agree, he was hosting the literal god of chaos and these guys still had less control than he did. He walked from his little spot in the shade, adjusting his duffle bag. "As fun as it been to watch, I think we should go talk to lord snooze before the world ends. Then you lot can get back to bitching and moaning at each other. Sound good? Great, now lets go." Andrew said, his tone dripping with sarcasm

[Kaithas]

IC: Alexandra raised her hand, Runeweaver having long since disappeared. "I'm the resident expert on Hecate," she said, obvious distaste on the last word. "I wouldn't think a god or goddess from the main pantheon would do something like this, they all benefit from the Mist. I'd wager someone who doesn't use it regularly and doesn't control magic."

"Of course, that's assuming that this was from our pantheon."

[Yog Sothoth]

"that makes sense" Charlie replied to Alexandra.

"Also I do not believe the titans were involved in the disappearance since both my dad and Hyperion have gone missing as well" he said in a now calm voice, and was glad to be done with the arguing. he was curious to know what kind of being could possibly kidnap his dad and Hyperion who was one of twelve main titans and possibly one of the most powerful.

[CallaLily180]

Myra noticed a girl that was simply standing there, she raised an eyebrow and walked over to her with a sigh. "Hi, what is your take on this? We always need someone to add their opinion. Nice sword, mine is plain." Myra said as she looked at the sword that seemed to be obsidian. She reached her hand out into the air and it dissapeared as she pulled her Khopesh from midair.

[Krein]

"Hoy, Ronald-"

Michael cut himself off before continuing the mocking nickname he had given to the red-haired Charlie. They couldn't habe another argument breaking out, especially now that they were discussing important things related to the quest.... all while Myra was off making friends. Michael sighed.

"Well first of demititan, what's your name? It won't do to call you Ronald McDonald all the time," Michael said. "Anyway, don't you guys have a species of divines known as the Gigantes? Third batch of children from Gaea? Even we magicians know of the trouble they caused years ago, could it be possible that some of them have made their way back?"

[makarov]

Chiron looked around and finally in a low voice asked, "Is everyone done arguing?" He breathed in deeply and looked around to everyone, "We are waiting for Lord Morpheus to return with your ride." Chiron had a look of angst in his eyes, "If you are arguing like that during the quest then you will surely fail. You must work together all of you!" Right after he said that a Volkswagen Van appeared out of thin air and Morpheus was in the drivers seat smiling, "Hello my friends!" The horn honked and the side door opened to show an almost endless inside, with swimming pools and a library and even a weapons room, "Pile into the bus...and I'll leave you with a driver!" With that Morpheus poofed away and was replaced with a man in a black suit and had completely red eyes, "EVERYONE IN NOW!!!"

[CallaLily180]

Myra put away her Khopesh as she went to the small Volkswagen and got in on the passengers seat. "Thank you.' She muttered as she got comfortable and buckled herself in.

[Kaithas]

IC: "Thanks! I'm afraid Memento can't do much of anything fancy like disappear, though."

"As for your question, Do you want the stereotypical, textbook daughter of Hades answer or the truthful one? The stereotypical response would be 'it's all pointless,' the truth would be-"

Right then Tabitha was interrupted by the arrival of the van, and she sighed. "Shall we?"

[smarty0114]

John turned to the bus and walked in, taking the seat behind the drivers. He was pondering Michael's question about who had reason to kidnap Apollo and Hecate. Hera had never been a fan of Zeus' children, but she had no reason to take Hecate. And why not take Artemis as well. He had a feeling this had something to do with Hecate and Apollo's respective realms. Without Hecate, magic and the Mist would begin failing, leaving the Camp vulnerable. Without Apollo, the sun wouldn't be rising. Chiron was right. Whoever did this wanted the world to go down.

[Yog Sothoth]

"My name is Charlie" he replied to Michael, and was about to warn about calling him by that ridiculous nickname, when a bright flash of light suddenly appeared close by. he had to cover his eyes from the bright light, but he recognized the light and knew who was responsible for it. he was surprised that his camp would send another demi-titan to come to Camp Halfblood, the only reason he could think of was that this quest was more important than he thought. when the bright light disappeared, Charlie looked and was surprised to see Albert standing where light had appeared. Charlie quickly ran over his friend and gave the demi-titan a hug.

"Al, what are you doing here?" Charlie asked curious to know if his suspicions were true.

"the heads of our camp wanted another to help you with quest and i decided to take up the position. so i am here to assist you and the other demigods on this adventure" Albert answered.

"well then it looks like this quest won't be as bad as i thought it would be" he said with a smile at his old friend.

Charlie then noticed the Volkswagen Van appear and heard Chiron tell them to get on board. and so Charlie and Albert did just that. once on board the vehicle, Charlie introduced Albert, "this is Albert Miller, he is a son of Hyperion and will be assisting us in our quest."

"hello" Albert said to everyone in the Volkswagen.

[Krein]

"Michael," said the host of Sobek simply for all to hear. That way he didn't have to tell every person his name individually. A Volksvagen van then appeared out of nowhere, and by the looks of it, it had some sort of pocket dimension inside that basically made it.... "bigger on the inside". What a relief, Michael definitely didn't feel like sitting close to anyone.... particularly not Myra. He felt a twinge of guilt as he remembered her name and how hurt she looked, but he quickly shook away the thoughts.

"Might as well. But know where we have to start?" Michael asked the driver as he stepped inside.

[SomeoneSomewere]

Austin sighed, apparently he hadn't been heard. He turned as the Volkswagen appeared, raising his eyebrows. With that he filed into the car , raising his eyebrows as he looked around with a small huh. He began to walk around, curious.

Adrian shook his head and put away his sword. He walked inside, glaring at people before he looked around. He muttered under his breath," cool." He then began to walk around the greatly expanded area, looking for a training room.

[makarov]

The Driver cracked a pretty evil smile, "Names Abe kid nice to meet ya." The drivers tag read Abbadon in letters that seemed to be smoldering into his name tag, He was wearing a fine black suit with a fedora, but what looked like bones were stitched into the collar and cuffs, "Wherever the dream lord is sending you must be important...Cause he came and got me." He smiled at the boy and for just a moment his face flickered into a the face of a woman in pure agony. and right like that he was back to normal.

[booksmusicanime]

"Hello sir." Alec said stepping into the car and smiling a little at Abe.

[Kaithas]

IC: Alexandra's eyes watched the son of Ares carefully.

This was not the place to try anything.

[Krein]

Now all of this was definitely bigger on the inside, it almost reminded Michael of the tent the Weasleys used in one of the Harry Potter movies, except this was much much bigger and elaborate. It was almost hard to believe that pocket dimension magic could be so grand. Dorms, plenty of food supply, and enough darn space to stay as far away from Myra as possible.

...

There he went again. Michael clenched his fists as he thought of her again. Had she done something to him when she slapped him? It would come as no surprise if she and Isis had tried to cast some spell on him to worm their ways into his mind and then stab him in the back to get back at Sobek for the fight the deities had earlier...

But still, maybe he should try to talk to her, apologize or something. For what he said...

*Ha! Don't be so stupid,* Sobek laughed. *The host of Isis is undeserving of your slightest concern and attention, just as everyone else is here. You work alongside them to achieve an end, but nothing more. The distinction between us and the rest should not be allowed to dissolve.*

Michael sighed as he went to go fiddle around with a contraption he found a few seconds ago. He supposed Sobek was right.

[CallaLily180]

Myra had unbuckled herself and got up as she went inside of the huge mansion-like area she would call home for who knows how long.

Instead of going to the dorms she went to find Micheal and apologize, that was how these things had to work. He had a rough life in the Nomes and she had probably made it even worse.

Upon finding him she sighed and bit her lip as she walked over to him and tapped on his shoulder. "Micheal? Hey, what are you working on? I'm sorry for before that was very rude of me. I just wanted to apologize so yeah there you have it. I was also wondering if we could talk as friends? I know I keep bringing it up and I know you keep refusing but please just let us have this one conversation."
