Location: Iris Cabin; Camp Half-Blood - Long Island Sound; New York.
Interacting With: Mother Dearest
Alina peeked from underneath her comforter to make sure that Julie wasn't waiting silently for her in her room. She didn't know how the girl got into her room. No matter how many deadbolt locks she puts on the door the kid always finds a way. Her eyes scanned the room and to her relief she was the only one present. She sighed softly and uncovered her face fully, but still wasn't in the mood to make the giant move from her bed to the floor. Instead she decided to make a call.
Alina waved her hand out to form a stream of rainbow light next to her bed.
"Call mommy."Almost immediately someone's clothed back was shown propped right on the rainbow screen.
"Huh. I don't hear the familiar sound of drachma being deposited into my account. It must be my beautiful daughter." Iris turned around revealing that she was wearing a Double Rainbow T-Shirt. She stepped backwards putting her face into the picture.
"Ah, that's better." She paused checking her wrist and the watch that clearly wasn't there.
"Why are you still in bed?"Alina rolled her eyes.
"Hello to you too, mother. I was just about to get out of it. Thought I'd check in before I do.""Is that your way of saying you missed me?""Of course not. Don't make me gag. This is why I don't like people.""I'm a goddess, dear."Alina let out an exasperated sigh. She was starting to wonder why she made this call in the first place. Why was she calling again? Oh, that's right.
"This Erin situation. Do you have any juicy intel?""Now, Leora. You know I don't like to gossip." She leaned forward putting her face directly in front of the screen.
"Just a few whisperings so far. Most of the gods and goddesses don't believe she did it, but no one's brave or patient enough to challenge Ares' accusation. Some don't even think that a demigod was the one to do it."Alina could've surmised that herself. The timing may have been convenient with most of the campers returning to camp, but stealing a sacred symbol wasn't an easy task. Even if a demigod was responsible they would have had to have gotten help from a god or goddess.
"So nothing.""Uh... Rude. This did just happen, you know. Give the rumor mill time to turn.""You'll update me when it does?""Of course, dearest. Now, ciao. Some of us have to work for a living." She blew Alina a kiss and watched as she blocked it with her comforter. Iris shook her head with a smile and disconnected the call. The rainbow stream broke into tiny pieces as they fell to the ground only to disappear once they made contact.
Once her mom was gone Alina reached her hand out to grab where her mother's invisible kiss had landed and released it onto her cheek. She slid like a snake out of her bed and onto the floor. Her buttocks hitting the cold floor was the push she needed to get to her feet and start her morning routine. She walked to her bathroom to begin there. She washed her face, brushed her teeth, brushed and styled her hair. She decided not to put on any makeup this morning. It wasn't like she needed it anyway.
Afterwards she made her way to the kitchen and prepared some coffee and when it was ready she poured it into her favorite gold cup and decided to enjoy it outside. On her way out she grabbed a robe from the living room couch and put it on without missing a step in her walk or spilling her coffee.
When Alina stepped out onto the porch she was hit directly with the sun's rays. The light causing her melanated skin to shimmer and glisten. She sat in the chair nearest to the door and took a sip of her coffee.
"Ah. Perfect."
