Angelo sighed softly wondering how they didn't know about this "if a certain salt is burned then it changes color. Red torches their on watch and when salt is thrown into their torch it turns blue what did you think the salt would be for?"He asked a little curious on what she would think salt would be used for in terms of defense then Angelo realized that they were getting off track. "Keep in mind it's just an idea to use as a relief system different color torch would mean different things. By now my guys are already at the security points I mentioned earlier I just need to have one if my guys message the Apollo and mars campers to join and help us"


"Oh, I knew that," said Nevea, as Angelo finished. It was a basic concept, after all. "I just hadn't seen the use. Although I'm perfectly sure that the same thing could be done with magic. And besides that, you would then have to get rid of the salt in order to change the colour once more, correct? Otherwise you'd get some sort of mix." She then nodded as Angelo related how they would call the campers.

"Fires can burn different colors depending on the minerals thrown into them. Common table salt would just make it burn a different shade of orange, but if it carries different components the flame will change color as they react to the heat."It was a good system, Seth supposed, but it did have the flaw that those using the salt would eventually run out of it if they were going to be using them every single time they were changing shifts. He had a solution to this though, and that was getting his half-siblings to produce mystical flames that would change color at a given command. One of their mother's symbols were twin torches after all, it would be shame if they couldn't do something as basic as that. Seth told the others about this and then listened as Nevea began telling the room of her design ideas. "These will do," Seth said as he examined the miniature ice structures more closely. "They're pretty close to what I had in mind anyway."The fact that they were was enough for Seth to feel assured the design would work well. "Now, if the humidity does happen to be low enough to give the ice shard creation trouble, that's where my creations' effects will kick in. My crystals are just solidified magical energy, so they'll have no problem in releasing streams of this power to wound and kill, but if not, then they'll certainly leave behind detrimental effects on their targets."


"As I said, magic," repeated Nevea, as Seth finished talking about the magical fire he and his siblings could form. "That's perfect. No chance of mixing." With that, she was satisfied with that communication system, and so she waited for Seth's input on the shafts. She nodded when he'd related that they were close to his own designs, and listened to his plan for when the humidity was too low.

"That's perfect," she said, when he was finished. A marvellous fail-safe, if she did say so herself. That comment was an absurd one. Of course you say so yourself. Did the speaker's brain get suddenly muffled? It was still useful, though. "I'm assuming you'll also be doing something along the lines of infusing magic into the shards? Or would that take too much power?"

Seth actually had to laugh some at Nevea's question. Would infusing some of his own magic to her ice shards take up too much of his power? Ha! Not. A. Bit. Seth had been using his magical powers for quite some time now, there was no way he'd be even remotely drained by doing such a simple action as granting Nevea's ice some extra power.

"Absolutely not. Even if I chose not to, my crystals would do so overtime since they are, as I said before, solidified magical energy. Given the nature of my magic, it will undoubtedly feed off of and taint your creations, thereby making them produce different effects aside from the ones they can already produce."

Angelo looked between the two of them and decided to let them talk it out about their machines as Angelo just decided to sit their in case they wanted to know about the campers and their movements since Angelo was no tech whiz he decided not to bother them about it. Magic wasted energy that would be better put to use in patrol while salt only needed to be put on the torch and be done with it before relighting it. Angelo watched them and he kept an eye on his watch to make sure they kept rotations of relief like they practiced

IC: Morning walked after the others to the border of the camp, the crystal levitating above her hand before shattering into dust with a dark, dark cloud in the middle. A light blast from her other hand and the cloud was purged, the crystal reforming around a glowing core.

As they reached the border of the camp she handed it back to Michael, the crystal now a light shade of yellow and emitting a good, calming feeling.

"It still tracks, but it uses my magic instead, so... It doesn't boost power anymore, it just... It transfers injuries from person to person."

Nevea was fazed not by Seth's laughs. Of course it was a perfectly reasonable question, just asked with a slight lack of information. Therefore, it was not at all humiliating. Anyone with a slightly logical brain would be able to see that. "Marvellous," she said, as he finished. "I look forward to seeing just what those effects will be.

"So, now that we've got the matter of fail-safes done with, it's time we start with the hands-on. We know that we'll need perpendicular shafts, now to work out how exactly we're going to make it." With that, she stood up and formed a circular pedestal about half a metre in diameter. "This'll act as a place holder for the rotation mechanism while we work out the structure." Next, she formed the two shafts, and only the shafts. Nothing around it. Currently, all that could be seen was a pedestal and two bare, thin, cylindrical shafts, perpendicular to each other.

"If one or two of you could start work on plans for the control pedestal, but without the attachment for the construct for now, that would be just peachy." Two of the Hephestan campers began drawing out plans for that, moving to a small table off to the side to work it out. They of course wouldn't start actually making it, since the exact dimensions of the construct were not worked out yet. Even the current length of the shafts would be temporary.

Val smiled. "good. But i had a whole set of curses i was planning on using." She laughed.

Shæ wheeled Ace around and galloped past Val and Shay and leapt over Morings head, aughing her ass off. Ace circled in the sky and whinnied happily, drawing the attention of the campers below. Shæ whooped and guided Ace back down grinning madly.

Austin stood, arms folded across his chest, discussing procedure with the other half of the cabin about procedures in the case of a attack. He outlines where to converge depending on where the monsters broke in, and other basic information, also outlining to protect the little kids and keep them out if the way. Everyone was to have a weapon on their body at all times, or in easy reach. He discussed attack maneuvers, as well as what to do if attacked by a few certain monsters that to him, seem the most prominate. After that was completed, he dismissed them, but not before reminding them to be on time for when they were on patrol, pointing out on the map he found where the various positions were. He then spoke, eyes firmly planted on the people in front of him," in Ancient Rome when the army was camping, there would be guards. If the guards were caught asleep, the next morning they would be executed. While none of you can be executed, just remember there are punishments." Then, he turned and walked out of the cabin, hearing murmurings behind him.

He looked around, spotting his brother, as well as Seth and Nevea. He approached his brother and said to him, quiet enough to not interrupt the conversation in front of him. The half of the cabin here has been informed of what to do during an attack. The other half will be informed when they are off of watch. If I'm not needed, I will take to the sky's, keep an eye out on things. If needed, remember the whistle." The whistle was their "call" to each other whenever the other was needed.

Angelo nodded to his brother "make sure that all teams remain in contact with eachother. tell the ones on patrol that their are going to be extra campers from the mars and Apollo cabin to join them in their guard duties so we can keep the guard as effective as possible" he told his brother trying to fill him in on what they had at the moment considering that both Nevea and seth were more concerned about machines then actual manpower "Nevea and seth are trying to work on using magic in the machines to help with the guards" Angelo said annoyed thinking that a machine was only as good as the one who operated it and making giant ice machines didn't seem like much of a defense to him. "if they ask for make sure they help but only if it doesn't interfere with their duties keeping patrol. stay safe brother" Angelo said to Austin waiting for him to confirm the information he just got before leaving so their wouldn't be any misunderstands down the line should something happen

"What the hells wrong with her?" Vic asked, running over to Shay and Val. "Is that like a Poseidon thing, or something? Because at Ares... Yeah. We don't act like that."

But then again, Vic didn't think any cabin acted like whatever Shæ was doing. It made her think she was either going on a quest with a drugged person, or, a crazy one. "Wait a second. You guys don't act like that, right?"

She was completely puzzled by the behavior. Either it was euphoria, or just again, a very, very, crazy person.

Val Laughed. "I think it's euphoria. Shælyns been here since she was thirteen and never been on a single quest. She's just excited." She smiled and played with a ball of fire. "Maldito, that is one happy chica." She commented.

Shæ rode Ace up to them, cheeks flaming in embarrasment. "Sorry mate. Just finally sunk in and I couldnt hold it in any longer." She braided Aces silky mane absentmindedly.

"Oh. I just thought she forgot her medicine, or something like that." Vic gave a little laugh. "And dang, you've never been on a quest before?"

She asked it anyway, even though it was a bit common in the camp. For Vic, she got her first one early, at fourteen. Not the best age to give a person a box of matches. Particularly a person whose name rhymed with 'Bic'. It was like giving gasoline to someone named 'Zippo'. Who was in fact holding a Zippo.

Michael still didn't take the crystal and simply pointed over to Vic. "I stand by what I said about her being in charge of it... Makes the most sense anyhow." Michael looked at there little group hoping they would make it to the Underworld before anything irreversible happened. He looked back at Morning "And thanks." Michael pulled out a cigarette as they walked away from camp and lit it. He handed Valen his flask as he caught up to the group.

Shay looked around at the group "We are the biggest group of misfits in camp, why Mr.D picked us I'll never know" He said breaking out of his funk "Although I do have knowledge of the underworld so I'm a given." He chuckled and jokingly punched Michael in the shoulder "Yah sure youre liver will make it to LA?" He said.

"The better question is am i about to spend all of my inheritance on this quest." He said half joking, Michael definitely would agree though. This group looked like it had been chosen by some thrown dice. Regardless they had to make the best of the situation, Michael handed the crystal to Vic after noticing she hadn't grabbed it from where he left it floating.

"So, Mics, you're giving it to the most irresponsible person. Where do I put this thing-" She felt a distant tingling feeling going up her hands. She strangely felt the need to dance, god, it was so relaxing. But Vic was a awful dancer. So no dancing. "I mean, if I was walking up and down the street, would the Mist cover it? And what if I dropped my backpack...?"

"I'm voting that Michael will end up tasting toilet water." Vic joked. "I'll make it happen. Believe me."

IC: "It's no trouble." Morning smiled and stuck her armored hands in her pockets. "My mother is in charge of maintaining the mist, so my guess is that no one will see it." She paused before speaking again, a flash of inspiration visible in her eyes. "Though, actually... If Val has some metal and she's willing to help me, I might be able to do it better, make it easier to use and keep track of. Otherwise, I should probably be going back to camp. This is your quest and Seth scares the little kids."

Val looked at Morning incredulously. "Of course i have metal. Are you daft? child of Hephæstus here!" She pulled out a small half finished bronze box and stuck the tracking thing in it. She held it there and set a bronze dorr and hinges on it, welding it with a fingertip. She poured a little of the scotch on the metal to cool it and took a drink of the rest. She held the flask up and grinned. "Best stuff I've ever tasted amigo. you have great taste!"

Shæ nodded to Vic. "This is my first time mate. And damn i will enjoy it. Monsters gods or Underworld or otherwise. I'm determined to make the best of it. Plus Da said he's goin to give me something special when I go on my first quest. He swore on tbe river Styx. Must have been very specisl for that kind of oarh." She said.

IC: "Better idea than a box." Morning held out her hand and the crystal started to reform, changing into a compass needle and what looked like the plating and facing for a very nice watch, still sitting in Val's bronze container. "If you can create the watch band and inlay this... You'll have a better tracking device than just the pull of the crystal, and even if the mist doesn't cover it it won't attract too much attention."

Small vines grew out of the ground to meet Michaels fingertips and he began flickin his fingers around until the vines started wraping around each other and formed a tightly woven wristband slowly wraping up from the ground into his hand. He grabbed his flask out of Vals hand and replaced it with the wristband "One... never... ever waste my liquor again, and two never waste my liquor again... if you can mount that compass in a bracet it'll hold.. granted it won't be stronger than steel but that vine won't break for years past me." Michael remembered the day his sister had taught him how to make those, she had always been much more delicate in her work and it showed in his. That wristband was probobly his best work with diffrent colors of vines from all over the world, the center had exotic blue colored vines in the center that jumped back and forth from the edges to the center making a wavy pattern across the whole band. If you took the band and fliped it around the same waves where there in a reverse patern. He thought the design rather fit the girl who would be wearing it.
