Lara nodded at what Nadia said and then smiled a bit at that at that as they waited for the elevator. Once they arrived, she got in and then leaned up against the wall a bit as the elevator went up. She listened to the music as well for a moment before tuning it out. "I do hope that it is nothing serious." She looked up at the dial counted up to the floor they wanted to get up to before they got to the 100th floor and she got out with Nadia and started looking around.

"No problem Dalisy." Astrid smiled a bit at that as she truly had no problem holding the other woman up, as she was stronger than she looked sometimes, especially with her upper body strength. She was a bit glad that everyone else had stepped up to help Runa, as she was trying to focus more on Dalisy and keeping her up there. When Dalisy told her that it was stuck she simply nodded. "No worries, I got you. I don't mind if you put more pressure on my shoulders." Astrid did adjust her grip to hold Dalisy up, and then she waited.

Lara looked around the 100th floor and paused a bit as she realized that it was residences and a room that was marked 'Arcade.' She knew what they were but had never really gone to one herself inside the hotel. She did notice the bloody hand print there and narrowed her eyes a bit at that. "Hey Nadia, did you see this?" She didn't want to say aloud what it was as she noticed the group waiting for the elevator as well. She was still worried as it looked like the other elevator was still not going up or down, but well, she turned back to the door and waited for Nadia.

[color=#EDDA74]"Are you alright?"[color] Astrid had seen Dalisy fall and had tried to catch her, but had just missed her it seemed. She offered her hand at that point and waited for to either decline or accept at that point. She could tell that Runa was still panicking a bit, but she was slowly getting control. "If anyone wants to go up and out the hutch, let me know. I can lift you up."

"Stella... we know you had to go somewhere, but where are you? We've tried calling your cell but nothing. We've been worried." Kenneth looked worried as he spoke to his daughter, and Stella noticed a new patch of silver in his hair. She felt guilty but she couldn't really feel too bad. She had needed to be at the camp, to understand and learn how to control her powers.

"Dad, is Otou-san around? I want to tell you both at the same time."

"Yes, he's here." Soon the face of Stella Otou-san, Taka, appeared in the mist.

"Stella! Oh thank spirits. You're well!"

"Yes, I am Otou-san. I'm sorry to both of you... I promise I was not ignoring your calls. I've had to have my cell phone off since we started traveling. It turns out it is dangerous for me to have them on..." Stella was about ready to give her father's a brief explanation of what was going on when something else caught her attention. She recognized Zeke, and Lauryn, but not the third person. However, Lauryn didn't look right, and she was attacking. "Sorry! I'll tell you later!" She cut off the message and dropped down to the ground, and put her hands on the ground.

"C'mon..." Stella focused, like she this morning. The first time, nothing. The second time, nothing. It was like the plants didn't want to react to her. She frowned and focused a third time, and that time was the charm. The vines rose out of the ground and joined the shadows that wrapped around Lauryn. "You two okay?"

"It seems we will have to be waiting then." Lara tapped her foot a bit at that point as they waited for the elevator to come back down. She did frown a bit as the elevator just stopped and flicked off. That didn't seem right to her, as the hotel was pretty magically powered, so why would just the elevator stop, but everything else seemed to be working. "Odd, but yes, let's try another one." She followed Nadia and then hit the button for another Elevator at that point.

Astrid noticed how Runa responded when she had said thank you to the other woman. She wasn't quite sure why Runa was acting like that, but she did have other pressing concerns on her mind. Her expression formed into a frown as the elevator just stopped there, right between the two floors and then she watched the power cut off as well. "This isn't normal, and I doubt that this is normal for here. We should try to get out of here then. I'll give you a lift to the top."

Lara hit the button and then paused a bit as she looked over to the frozen elevator at that point. "Isn't that the elevator the others were in? Do you think they're stuck there?" She didn't like the fact that one of the elevators seemed to be out of service while the others were still working. "Do you think we should tell someone about this?"

Astrid knelt down to offer Dalisy a boost and then stood up fully to lift her towards where the hatch was located, and made sure to stand stead so that Dalisy could open it. She stood there, supporting the demi-god until she heard Runa faintly talk. She paused and wanted to help the other woman but she was currently supporting Dalisy. "Hey, Arnora, could you check on Runa please? I'd do it myself but I'm in the middle of something."

"I haven't had time to call them yet, so if it is alright I'd like to do that. I have the coins to make the call so I might go find somewhere to make the call, if that is alright?" Stella paused a bit as she looked around the fire a bit. She was bored as well, and it sounded like that until the Romans appeared not much would happen. She wasn't looking forward to seeing that girl from earlier again, as she had been very rude to her older sister, and herself.

"Do excuse me." Stella got up once she got the approval of the others and wiggled her way out of her seat and then out of the arena. She found a nicely light area with the help of a prism, she soon had a rainbow being formed from the light and mist and then she tossed the coin into the water. "Oh rainbow messenger goddess, please deliver my message to Kenneth Herbalem." She paused and then smiled as she soon saw the familiar face of her father.

"Stella? Wh...what is going on? What is this?"

"Hey dad, it's me. I'll explain everything."

Lara looked up when Arnora said that there was a lead in the elevator, but she saw that Dalisy was heading that way. "I'd appreciate your help, Nadia. I know we've probably picked it clean but I'd rather double check just in case, especially since our invisible assailant revealed themself." Lara went to head back into the office and started by looking over where she thought their invisible assailant had come from, and focused on that spot for a moment.

Astrid stepped into the elevator with the others and spotted the blood on the floor button and raised a brow at that. Either their assailant had been in a panic or as Dalisy had pointed out, it was a trap. "If it s a trap, we will have to take the risk. It is the only lead we have unless we truly can lift and compare prints." Astrid chuckled a bit at that and then looked over at Runa and then nodded her. "Thank you for joining us."

Lara had come to the realization that there really was nothing else to find there, or if there was, it wasn't anything she could spot that was new besides the mark from earlier and the empty spot. Maybe it had been a bust, but she felt a bit better after double checking. "Thank you for coming with me, Nadia, even if it turned out to be nothing." She went to head out of the office, wondering where they should go next, since they had missed where the rest of the group had gone.

Astrid leaned up against the wall, watching as the numbers went up. She just stayed silent, thinking about things. Agent of Loki, agent of Chaos... the dead staying dead in a hotel where that wasn't suppose to be. Her brows furrowed at that point as she watched the little dial move up until it hit 100. "Here we are then."

Stella was thankful that the fire had gotten back in control before it could do any harm, and before she could really freak out fully. She did offer Marygold a small smile as she tried to reassure her that it was fine, and that she didn't life fire either. It did make sense to her, that her fellow sibling had never liked fire unless it was super controlled like it had been. She did chuckle a bit as Marygold said that she wished she had known who had manipulated it, and that she would tell her off. That did make her feel a bit better at that point and some of the color returned to her cheeks at that point.

"Thank you Marygold. I've never really liked fires either, not even little candles sometimes. Maybe it was spirits, or something." She willed herself to relax a bit at that point and then she stretched her fingers. She hadn't realized that she had been clenching her fingers so tightly at that point, and she flexed them a bit. She didn't want to ruin the day that she had been having at that point, and she was sure that she had questions for Marygold, but she could ask her them later. She could tell the mood of the campfire had shifted due to the out of controlness of the fire, but maybe not just because of that.

Lara had been expecting a rather awful scolding from the God, after disobeying and then lying to him as well, but she had been surprised when Baldur hugged his daughter and then told them that they were permitted to continue the investigation as long as they came to him or any of those in power if something went wrong. She only realized she had tensed up when she let out a sigh of relief and her body relaxed at that point. "Thank you Lord Baldur, we will make sure to do that." She offered him a smile and a slight bow at that point. She was also thankful that Baldur had not asked them to promise or take an oath, as she was sure that would have taken a bit out of her to bind them all to that word.

"Thank you Lord Baldur. I will keep your words in mind as we continue to investigate." Astrid offered her own bow to the god, and then offered a small smile. She was very glad that he had given them permission to continue as she had thought that when they had been caught she would have gotten in serious trouble. Enough trouble to even get her tossed out of the Hotel, she had thought. She could not bare that thought if she was honest with herself. She loved being a Valkyrie, and she loved having a higher purpose than just to simply live and go to school.

Lara watched as Dalisy walked over to the elevator and nodded, letting her do so. She knew that she was still not Dalisy's favorite person, so she decided not to assist her. She looked back to the rest of the group before speaking. "I think I might go investigate the office again, now that our mysterious assailant has shown themselves. Just in case they left anything behind. Anyone want to come with me?" In the back of her mind she knew that it was probably a very bad idea to split the group up a bit, but she did want to check out where that assailant had been hiding, to see if there were any clues.

Astrid walked over to Dalisy and nodded to her. "If you don't mind, I would like to join you. I already have our mystery person once, so maybe I can assist in catching them when you find some lead." She had faith that Dalisy would be able to find something, given that she had already spotted something her father had not noticed before.

Stella had been thankful for the tour she had been given that day, and had even enjoyed a rather nice dinner. She had been surprised that they could even do tonkatsu, but she had needed a lovely taste of home after the long week she had had before. She did make sure to offer some up to her mother, thanking her for her blessing, and for giving her such an amazing other family. She had followed Marygold to the arena, where they had set up a bonfire, and sat down next to her. She waved over to Kristin when she came over and she happily took the piece of paper with the camp schedule on it.

"Hello again! I'm finding everything well, thank you so much. And thank you for the schedule." Stella grinned a bit at that as she relaxed a bit more at that point. She did notice the fire get a bit out of control for a moment, and she did pale a bit at that and she bodily turned away from the fire and tugged her hood up over her head until she was sure that it was under control. Ever since she had been a little girl she had hated fires, and well this was one of her worst fears.

"Is it safe? Is it over?" She whimpered out from under her hood, waiting for the confirmation that it was under control again.

Lara froze for a moment at that point as she heard Baldur again, and then she looked up at him and then started fidgeting with her necklace a bit. She was glad that Dalisy had spoken up, then the same with Nadia and Arnora. She wasn't sure what to say but she did figure it was best to let the others speak. "It is true, we wished to help and get to the bottom of what is going on. We knew that others might try to hurt one another and that the sooner things get resolved, the sooner we do not have to worry about other accidentally killing one another permanently."

"It is as Dalisy says, we were investigate the office when an invisible person attacked, injuring Arnora with an arrow. I did manage to injure them, but we lost them in the elevator. We were hoping that if we looked inside that we might see which button they pressed, so we could guess which floor they were on." Astrid only added that tidbit once she was sure that they were okay with telling Baldur about what they had been doing.

"I am sorry that we caused such a scene but we hadn't expected anyone invisible to be in there." Lara sighed a bit as she fidgeted with the ring on her necklace chain. They had been caught, way too fast, and she didn't really want to lie to the god so much. Once she had spoken, she mostly hung back with the others, not wanting the god to direct his possible wrath at her.

"I do apologize as well, but I wanted to help because I know that it will be only a matter of time before someone else attacks one another. I offered my help to this group because I know several of them personally, and I do not wish to see any of them vanish." Astrid looked over at Baldur and waited to see what would happen next.

"Yeah, my dads are super nice, and I love them both so much. You said I can contact them later, correct? I think I will." Stella smiled a bit at that as she relaxed and looked at the little arts and craft cabin. Her mind was already buzzing with a few different ideas of things she could make and that she might even try to send back to her dads later. She was glad that everyone was seeming to react to her well, she knew she could be talkative and too curious, but so far no one had shut down her questions, or even told her to calm down.

"Oh, I would love to go over to the stables and look at the horses then! As for my schedule, I will be happy to get one from Chiron. And really? I can come over during free time? Awesome, I would love that!" Stella seemed to beam a bit more at that point as she was looking forward to seeing the horses and the pegasai. She couldn't believe that that this was still all real, and soon she would be seeing flying horses. So she turned around and let Kristin, Marygold and Jason lead the way once again at that point. Her day was only improving at that point, from being attacked to now having met more of her half-siblings and finding out about her mother.
