Ed frowned at the message from Guin. He understood why she did it, but that didn't make him appreciate the invasion of his mind. If it were anyone else he would be slamming up more mental fortifications. However, she was just sending a message in the fastest way she could. He finished his sandwich while Klara worked her magic. He was impressed it worked through the phone. Maybe his family was just too old-fashioned?

"Is it Mardi Gras season?" Ed asked, then shook his head, that question wasn't important. Focusing on Mary was. With Guin's message confirming their fears he knew they needed to act now.

He joined the others down in the Danger room. It would be best for everyone to gather before starting to talk. At least they had an idea of where she was. He didn't know how big New Orleans was, but he knew it was in the southern states. It was a good thing they had ways to teleport there. Ed knew the drive would be long otherwise.

"Will!" Mandy signed to her father. She unlocked the car letting Hermes and Hannah back into it. "Pet the cat if that helps." Mandy suggested as she started up the car. "Oh, I need your address. Mandy passed her phone to Hannah so the younger girl could put the address into Google maps. While she did that Mandy looked at Hermes.

"Why are you so scared? I know there is the curfew and we saw the cops. That guy at your school was scary, but he isn't here. What am I missing?" This was a common question for Mandy. Hearing people picked up on bits of information from overheard conversations, or the radio (which was off in Mandy's car), or maybe his teacher had said something else to him other than asking him to stay behind (which they hadn't done). Mandy was determined to take Hannah home, the streets didn't seem safe, but inside her car they should be...right?

"What does otou-san mean?" Andy asked. She couldn't go home. She had no home to go to. Her parents were dead. Now she knew what happened to them at least. But the one person who had helped her make that connection was gone and she didn't want to think about it. All of it was too sad. Her birthday was coming up and she would turn twelve. She felt like becoming a teen was so far away and everyone saw her as a little kid. She was one of the youngest campers, if not the youngest. But she didn't want to be treated like a little kid. On the quests she felt like she could be one of the bigger kids. Maybe when she was thirteen? If she made it that long. Andy had learned that life expectancy of demi-gods was woefully short.

She stood near the surf, looking out into the ocean. Wondering what the Poseidon kids felt when they looked at the ocean. She liked looking at it, but had always been a little afraid of it. It was such a massive thing and it could swallow her up and it wouldn't care about her.

Niah frowned a little at Nancy's request of the cyclops that was following them. She didn't disagree with it, not really. She was angry toward Leandra, though she hadn't run into Leandra while on her quest. Meaning her grudge wasn't quite as deep as Nancy seemed to be now. A part of Niah blamed Leandra for their loss of Mads, that was illogical, but she still felt it.

Later, Niah decided, she would pull Nancy aside, after the were done with the judgment on Leandra. Niah would go for a walk with her friend and they'd find words to bridge the silence between them. They had to. The silence burned.

Ed nods agreeing that this is probably the best course of action for now. "I might have a physical map in my car from when I first got here." Ed was old enough to remember using physical maps. Google didn't exist until he was basically in high school. The American streets were confusing when he first moved here so it had taken him some extra time to get used to it.

"If not does anyone else think they might have a physical map? Or would Google pulled up be enough?" Any map magic Ed knew about required a physical thing, he didn't know if a digital map would work. Not that a map would work for him usually anyway. It would take an incredibly intricate map for him to use it for his magic. He had heard of a guy who had diligently made a map out of pewter and pieces of buildings, but that map was dangerous to use. It could have blown up in the guy's face if anything got misaligned.

"Happy and willing to give you a ride." Mandy told Hannah. She was not comfortable with the teen walking home, on a normal day she probably wouldn't have been happy about letting her walk alone. But with what was happening right now there was no way she was going to let her go out there alone.

"Let me bundle up the cat and we'll take him too. And no I haven't decided that his name will be Goose yet, calm down." The last bit was directed at her cousin. She didn't know what he was saying. She was annoyed with him talking in front of her without at least simcoming (as much as she didn't like simcom it was better than nothing).

Mandy gathered the kitten and put him in the backpack she had gotten him. At least he would be well trained for travel so when she did find someone to adopt him they'd get a well mannered cat. That was her hope anyway. She patted her Dad on the shoulder and held up her hand in the 'I love you' sign, leading the way back outside to her car.

"That's a cool cloak!" Andy exclaimed when she realized what the cloak could do. She knew of some items others had that could impart invisibility, or in like Niah's case she had a sword that was invisible itself. "It definitely will come in handy." Things that impart invisibility were always useful.

"The beach?" Andy suggested as they started that direction. Andy liked the ocean. It wasn't like Kiera, she couldn't control the water. She just thought it was pretty. Andy thought a bit as they walked toward the trail. "Do you know what the Underworld is like? What we will see there?" She was partially thinking about Arthur, and how long it had been since they had seen each other. She missed him. But she was also worried about their upcoming quests.

"What if we walk and then we train? Stella and I can walk, and then I'll join for training? And she can do something else?" Andy offered as an option of what to do. She watched the cape land next to Stella.

She had received mysterious gifts before as well so it wasn't the weirdest thing. It was how she had a spell book, which she didn't use as often now that Mads wasn't there to teach her. She also didn't use the metal balls anymore cause that had been Arthur's thing more than hers. He had controlled the balls and she had electrocuted them. That had been a good combo.

Andy plastered a smile on her face. "Cool! I wonder what it does." It was obvious the cloak was Stella's so she waited to see what Stella would do with it. She scratched Chocolate's ears as she watched her friend.

Niah waved at the Cyclopse that seemed to be nice, odd. She then followed Nancy. Niah felt like she had done something to upset Nancy. She wasn't sure what it was, but Nancy seemed mad. Was it because Niah had interrupted her morning?

Niah wanted to talk to Nancy. Wanted to say so much to her. Tell her about her own vision of Dalisy. Something. Talk to her friend like they used to. But so much had changed. "I miss you." She thought, but didn't voice. Niah just followed after Nancy as she led the way back to the Roman camp.

Mandy sighs into the hug from her dad. It's reassuring, and comforting. She figures they'll have to warn the neighbor about the news. She isn't certain if the old lady has a cell phone even. Once released from her dad's hug she reads the message from Kristain. Mandy doesn't respond this time. The conversation had pretty much concluded. If either of them got new information they'd pass it on.

Hermes offered a couple of names. They were obviously pun names, but English puns were awkward in ASL. She does laugh at them though, which is a nice feeling considering all the stress they are currently under. She considered what kind of pun name she could give an orange/red cat in ASL. "I like Goose." Mandy nods. "Do you want a ride home?" Mandy offers Hannah. She didn't like the idea of the teen being out on the streets alone.

He let the spell drop and went back to his sandwich. He was almost done with it. Ed listened as the others discussed what they could do to find Mary. He considered the options. The sling ring could theoretically take them directly to Mary, but what if she was in the middle of something important. They didn't know why she was gone or what she was doing. If they showed up unannounced they could cause more harm.

"It wouldn't be easy for me to pinpoint Mary's location. I could triangulate her, but that would take several teleportations to work. I've heard of using a map, but my magic works through Sympathies. Without a map that would have sympathetic connections I wouldn't get anything. Might as well throw darts at a map." Ed explained.

"I'm alright with trying to find her, but I don't think we should drop in on her without warning. We don't know what she is doing. It could be dangerous and us showing up messes things up. If we triangulate her, at least we have a better idea of where she is, without causing instant disruption."

"Don't worry I'll make this quick then." Andy said, moving quickly to get within brawling range. She wasn't going to drag this out. She was pissed, Andy reached out to grab Arcade's throat, but he kicked her shin and slipped out of her reach.

That didn't matter, not anymore. Andy had been learning magic. And the strength she had gained from Ardere was still pulsing in her. She spoke a few words and a loud gong rang within Arcade's ears. It didn't deafen him, the spell wasn't meant to, but he was hurt by it. He still stood. Andy was pissed and didn't care about the consequences.

She stepped in close again and swung, aiming to punch him in his stupid face. He was still reeling from the bell and didn't dodge her fast enough this time. She punched him directly in the nose.
