Hello. I'm looking forward to this and here are my characters so far.
Alina Leora Kim
— ۵ ۞ ۵ —
Location: Iris Cabin; Camp Half-Blood - Long Island Sound; New York.
Interacting With: Jamie Walker @MarshiestMallow
Alina paused in thought for a moment starting to wonder how Damien was feeling about all of this. He likely was aware of his sister's situation by now. She ought to check on him later. Her attention returned to Jamie the moment she asked if she needed anything. Now she was speaking her language. Alina loved things and if she wasn't so neat she would have likely become some sort of hoarder. But what Alina liked more than things were things that weren't exactly easy to acquire. Jamie was known to be able to get her hands on almost anything. "Hmm. I don't have anything too particular in mind, but if your bags of goodies have anything rare or sweet in them I of course would love first dibs."
Alina then thought to herself that if she planned to see Damien later she might as well not do so empty-handed even if she was the best gift anyone could ask for. "Also, if you have one of the original Cocaine-Colas and a doggie bone or something that would be nice too." She wasn't exactly sure what his dog Onyx would like. She and the hound of baskerville weren't exactly close, but she wanted it at least known that she thought of him too.
A @King Kindred &@Venus Collaboration
Featuring Zeru Williams & Fiamma Giannulli
▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃
Zeru jumped with startlement at the sound of his last name. He turned around to see Carlos and Anzu standing there. He glanced awkwardly back to the door of the Apollo cabin. It wasn’t a secret that he and Fiamma were friends, but how often did you see Zeru rush off to see anyone? He didn’t even bother to check on Erin after Dionysus and Chiron gave the announcement and she was his cousin. So how was he going to explain this?
”Erin is looking for you.”
Speak of the demoness. That’s what this was about. A jolt rushed through his mind as he made a sudden realization. He wasn’t sick. Erin was talking about him. That mystery was solved, but he still felt a little weird. What was he? Some fictional character in a story? He shook the utterly ridiculous thought from his mind and focused on the bigger picture. Erin had chosen him to go on the quest with her. He was excited, but that left another problem. He was just about to reunite with Fi just for them to separate once again.
”Well, just have fun for now and look for her later. Don't take too long, Zee-”
”See you around, Williams. Tell Fi we said welcome back.”
That confirmed it. They knew about him and Fi’s relationship, but he wasn’t worried that they’d go around spreading it. In all honesty he had been thinking about taking their relationship public and to meet her parents. But that was a conversation he’d save for after he got back from the quest. Right now they already had a lot to talk about. Zeru turned back around to face the door and wondered what was taking her so long. He decided to knock again just in case she didn’t hear the first time.
Fiamma had, indeed, heard the first few knocks on her cabin door. In fact, she'd heard the distinctive sound of Zeru's footsteps approaching her cabin long before he was in close proximity. Heart racing with anticipation, he'd been seconds away from opening the door and facing her lover when two different sets of footsteps joined the fray. The voices, Fi recognized, belonged to Anzu and Carlos.
The young woman's brows furrowed together in confusion. What could Los and Zu possibly want with her or Zee? It couldn't be with her, because she'd been at camp for a grand ten minutes, so it had to be with Zee. But that still didn't bring her any closer to having any idea of what this could be about.
Before she could dwell on it any more, the reason soon became clear. Erin was looking for Zeru, which could only mean one thing…
Just as she'd finally made her arrival to camp, her boyfriend was being called out to a quest.
Fiamma's heart sank. What were the odds that she and Zee wouldn't even get to reunite properly before one of them was going away? She tried to look at the bright side of things: that she at least arrived early enough to see him off. But this still did nothing to ward off the beginning of tears starting to pool in her blue eyes.
After the second knock, the daughter of Apollo turned the knob and slowly swung the door to the cabin open just enough for her pale face to peek out.
"You have to go already?" she asked her boyfriend-- her sad eyes, pouting lips and crestfallen expression similar to that of Bubbles of the Powerpuff girls.
Zeru’s eyes met Fiamma’s and he felt a sudden and powerful ache in his chest. He’s been in a lot of fights and faced many threats, but nothing cut him deeper than her tears. He feared this would happen. He wanted to hold her, he wanted to wipe her tears, he just wanted to assure her that everything was going to be okay and that they’d have a real reunion soon, but he couldn’t do any of that as long as he was on this side of the door.
“I do, but not already, already. I still have time, but can you let me in so we can talk about this? I’ve been waiting so long to hold and kiss my girlfriend and I’m not letting a quest get in the way of that.”
Fiamma stared at her boyfriend for a few more seconds, her lower lip wobbling, before she stepped aside and swung the door wide enough for Zeru to come in. By the time he had stepped inside, a few tears had escaped her eyes and were rolling down her cheeks.
Zeru closed the door once he was fully inside and stepped closer to Fiamma. They were so close that if they were around her parents a Bible probably would have been placed between them so they wouldn’t make babies on contact. He lifted his right hand to her cheeks and wiped away the few tears that had fallen. He couldn’t stand seeing her like this. He never wanted to be a reason she’d cry. He wanted to be the reason she’d stop crying, the reason she felt safe. How was she supposed to feel safe if he was halfway across the world.
”I love you, Flamebird and the love that we share will always have me running back to you.”
"I know…" the girl whispered with a small nod, taking advantage of the hand wiping her tears to hold it with her own. "I'm not scared of you leaving, Zee. I'm scared of you not coming back. It took me so long to finally find you, and to think of something happening and losing you forever…" she trailed off, a river of tears now running fast down her pink cheeks. The mere idea of any tragedy coming upon her boyfriend was enough to send her into the hysterics she was currently in.
Zeru didn’t want Fi to ever let go of his hand. He also didn’t want to leave her, but he knew he had to. Potentially fighting Ares aside he knew he’d regret not going with them. Something was telling him that he had to go on this quest and if he didn’t something bad would happen to the ones that went without him. He’d never be able to forgive himself if any of them died and he could have prevented it just by being there. But he also had to consider Fiamma’s feelings. They were very valid. Demigods died on quests all the time. Not even he was invincible, no matter how much he believed he was. Seeing her like this was already killing him softly. Her tears were forming faster than he could wipe them away so he talked to her instead.
“Hey, hey. Look at me. I’m not taking that ride across the Styx anytime soon. I’ve been kicking ass and slaying monsters since I was eleven. If I don’t go someone else might never return and I wouldn’t be able to live with myself. But let’s enjoy the time we have together now. I still have to pack and Los and Zu did say I could take as much time with you as I want. Speaking of… I think some of the others are catching onto our secret.”
Although she was anything but reassured, Fiamma knew Zeru had a point. If he was indeed leaving for a quest soon, they had to take advantage of every single moment they still had together. After all, it had been months since they had last seen each other. The long-awaited reunion so far had been nothing but bitter, but that didn’t mean it was too late to add a whole lot of sweetness to it.
Hearing Zee’s attempt to lighten up the mood, Fi followed suit. “I think everyone’s caught onto our secret at this point,” she said with a shaky laugh, wiping the rest of her tears away from her face. Because she hadn’t been wearing waterproof mascara, the girl had a bit of a resemblance to a red-headed racoon of some sorts. “I don’t really mind, though. I love being your girlfriend.”
A laugh escaped Zeru's mouth despite his attempt to hold it in. They were supposed to be having a serious moment, but he couldn't help but express his amusement at her now masked face. She reminded him of a game he used to play as a kid. “I'm sorry, but you remind me of Sly Cooper like that. And just like the thief he is you stole my heart, but I'll be the one to steal a kiss."
With that Zee felt that he had given her enough warning. If she didn't want the kiss she'd dodge it, but he had a feeling she wanted to kiss him just as much as he wanted to kiss her. He leaned forward and pulled her face softly closer to his before he himself closed the distance and kissed her passionately on the lips. It had been so long since he felt her lips and he knew he wouldn't have been satisfied with just a peck.
And it seemed like Fiamma felt the same way, because his girlfriend wasted no time in wrapping her slender arms around him and pressing her body against his, all the while not breaking the kiss but responding to it with the same amount of enthusiasm. It was clear that they were starving for each other.
Zeru then pulled back and said, "And I love being your boyfriend. When I get back how about we stop 'hiding' from everyone and become the official best couple in camp?"
Fiamma could only laugh and nod. "Deal!" she agreed, taking the opportunity to pull her boyfriend into another passionate kiss. She let it go on for what seemed like forever before finally pulling away. "You know, as happy as I am that we're back together and close like this, I'm feeling a little tired from the trip back here to camp..." the redhead began, looking up at Zeru with sparkling blue eyes full of love and mischief. "Maybe a shower might help with that. What do you think?" she asked him, biting her lower lip while a playful smile danced in the corners of her cheeks.
That wonderful, mischievous look in her eyes. The first time she looked at him like that was the moment he fell in love. Every time his eyes met her sparkling blues he was putty in her hands. “I think…” He said while reaching down to pick her up. “That since you’re tired I should carry you up to the bathroom.” He scooped her into his arms, and Fiamma's thrilled laughter quickly filled the empty spaces of the Apollo cabin. Zeru paused for a moment to just smile at her-- in the same soft, warm and loving manner his girlfriend was smiling at him. Before they got lost in each other's eyes again, he decided to head up the stairs, being careful not to bump Fiamma into anything.
Maize
Maize couldn't believe her eyes when she stepped out of the portal behind Tabaga. This was something she had never seen before. She had seen murder, she had seen destruction, but this was insane. It took everything in her to contain her anger and her breakfast. Where did those rifts lead? Different universes? Maybe this universe wasn't the only remaining one left. She hoped her squad was okay. She whipped them into shape, they were survivors. She had to hold onto that thought to stay sane.
She decided not to hide and stayed out in the open. The ones that could potentially sense them weren't even paying attention and the harvesting spiders were focused on their specific job. "I've never known a Saiyan to hide. They're not even looking our way."
Ovaan asked the question she and the others were likely thinking. Darbin even seemed to confirm that fact. She knew a direct conflict wasn't the right way to go about this. Not now at least. They had to get some answers and she believed she knew exactly how to do it. "There's only one way to find out what they're harvesting them for." She paused for a moment to focus on her ki and drastically lowered her power level output as low as she could. If they had those who could sense ki on their side it'd be in their best interest to make it difficult for them to find them. "We get harvested ourselves. If you can lower your ki level I suggest you do it."
For now it was the only plan they had and if she could say so herself it was a pretty damn good one. A bit reckless maybe, but it was better than busting down doors or trying to sneak in themselves. Being carried inside just made things easier for them. Maize jumped across the field taking several leaps instead of flying over until she got to a suitable pile where she could hide among the dead.
Hmm. It's an interesting concept. Reminds me of this Kingdom Hearts-esque anime I watched.

I think now we just need Velona, Ovaan, and Eve to step through the portal, but @NacNak hasn't been on in 5 days.

Location: Iris Cabin; Camp Half-Blood - Long Island Sound; New York.
Interacting With: Jamie Walker @MarshiestMallow
Alina was enjoying her coffee when she noticed someone pulling up to her cabin with a horse trotting alongside them. She looked closer and realized it was the gender fluid child of Hermes and Julie's older sibling. They weren't exactly close, but Alina didn't mind them. Though she always had a feeling that they were hiding something. It could be the nagging feeling she gets around most Hermes kids. They were often shifty, but at the same time Alina felt like they were someone who wasn't all that bad.
"Late start to the day? Bummer. Was hoping for some answers as to what the fuck is going on. Thought it was a tower day... must have got the days mixed up... "
Before Alina would give her response she'd take a dramatic sip of her coffee. Once she was done she placed the cup on the armrest to her left and licked her lips. "An early start to the afternoon actually. Your sister woke me up. But no, you didn't the mix up the days. The tower event ended early with Pierre from the Morpheus Cabin as victor." She took a slight pause to figure out how she was going to deliver the next news. "But as for your real question, Erin Chase has the quest of clearing her name in the case of Aphrodite's stolen dove. Beyond that I unfortunately don't know. Your brother on the other hand may have more information. You know how close those two are. Oh right, before I forget. Welcome back."

— ۵ ۞ ۵ —
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."
