Whatever works for your character. I imagine there were some people - like his sister (begrudgingly; Vivian drunk is a sight that would send Dallas cringing), Delilah, and the Ares kids - that he would give a location to, but you can't really bank on every person giving every person the correct information for something that's so word of mouth.

So we'll say around 10 pm there was a group text saying something along the lines of F L Y MY PRETTIES so nobody gets lost or misses out

@Plank Sinatra

Great, if that's going to Zaheen as well, then I think we can assume that he informs Corinthe, Alex and Peter.

CLOSED

So, how is everyone doing this morning? :)

@Altered Tundra

your morning is my evening. But still, pretty good :)

<Snipped quote by Obscurus>

Zaheen's going to hear about it for a certainty through the Ares kids, so if Cori sticks around him, you don't have to worry about it.

@Plank Sinatra

hah! better stick around Zaheen then ;)

I think it can pretty much be assumed that Corinthe, Alex, Zaheen and Peter will be our first confirmed "group of friends", since most -- if not all -- of their posts have been in response with each other. xD

@Altered Tundra

pretty much ^^.

CLOSED

I'm not really sure yet how I can get Cori into the party. She's currently with Alex, Peter and Zaheen. So if one of them hears about it, might be enough for the rest to get in as well. Does anybody have a good idea?

Cori was glad that she was being of actual help, but a little dissapointed that the girl hadn't given her her name. But before she could ask her, a boy interrupted her attempt to make a friend. Though he seemed to have every good intention, she was still annoyed by his intrusion in this crucial part of the first schoolday. He apologized shortly after, which made her a bit more forgiving. And he did look quite tired actually. Poor kid. I might just as well make another friend. She thought to herself.

"Well hi Zaheen, I'm Corinthe. New indeed. So what year are you in?" Then she turned to the girl. "And what's your name?"
Then Zaheen continued to give the answer to the riddle. Cori had known it as well. Actually, the scene was playing in front of her eyes. And Zaheen missed the most crucial part. the answer was

Mellon.

That.

"...."

The girl beat her to it. With much ado, the box proceeded to reveal a book. The Silmarillion, read the cover. Before Cori could inquire after what the book was and why it had been in the box, another guy entered the conversation. He looked older than Zaheen, though he said he was new. Apparently age didn't matter much in a school for the demigods. That thought made her realise, that these people she was talking to, were all demigods. All real sons and daughter of actual gods. Like herself ofcourse, but still it was weird. She wondered what powers they had and who their godly parent was. How was their relationship with their parent? She glanced around at all the people on the campus. The gods sure liked to reproduce. many people here might actually be half-brothers or -sisters. Would she have one? Would there be actually living walking family of her, right here on Olympus Academy? Hades, or who she assumed was Hades had seemed rather loyal to her mother, that one time when they met. But who knew. She was sure to find out. What would she look like? or he?

Alex explained the guy where he should go. "Oh hey" She told the guy. "I still need to get my key as well, we can try to find the office together. I'm Corinthe by the way." stretching out her hand to shake his.
Then there was an announcement all over campus, that the assembly was going to start.
"I guess the keys have to wait." She told her company. Somehow it had grown rapidly into a little group.
"Zaheen, I bet you know where we have to go for that assembly. will you show us?"

Cori was happy to hear Alex thank them, even though she had only helped just a little. she beamed. "I'm glad I could help." she stated. "One per day? That sounds like fun. I'm definitely looking forward to next one. If you want my help ofcourse." She corrected herself on her intrusiveness.
"Why does she do that?"
The next question she had, she didn't speak out loud. Who is your mother?
She wasn't sure what the etiquette was when it came to someone's godly parent. The box didn't seem much like a mortal gift to Cori.
Besides, if she asked that, someone else might ask her about who her divine father or mother was. And she wasn't quite sure if that was the first thing she wanted people to know about her.

"Allright guys, let's go see that assembly"

She was só exited.

"Excuse me," Someone called. Cori snapped out of her daydream. Was that directed at me? She looked around to see a boy with a... A girl -she corrected herself- A girl with what appeared to be a small box."Hi" She said, giving the boygirl a warm smile. She had been worrying that it might be hard to make contact here. She didn't know demigods that well. Even though she was one, she still didn't really feel like one. So now she was genuinely happy that somebody talked to her. "Could you please help me with a riddle? I'm afraid I can't make heads or tails of it, and I'm sort of hoping you could help!"
"Me?" she asked, pointing at herself. This was not a question she had expected. It intrigued her nonetheless. "Sure! I'll be glad to." It was actually kinda exiting. She just hoped she could be of any help. Bridging the distance between them with a only a few steps, she looked at the box."Is that the riddle?" She asked while pointing at the engraved object. With her finger this close to a mystery, she couldn't resist feeling it and subtly she stroked the surface of the box with her index finger. Looking up a slightly embarrased for what might have been inapropriate, she decided to shift the attention. "I'm Corinthe by the way. I'm new here."

After introducing herself she looked back at the box. "So" she decided. "How can I help you?" Taking a closer look, the engravings turned out to be words. Words that didn't make much sense to her though.


"Ennyn Durin Aran Moria. Pedo Mellon a Minno. Im Narvi hain echant. Celebrimbor o Eregion teithant i thiw hin."

was what it read. Whatever that was supposed to mean. Corinthe repeated the words in her head. For some reason, she was stuck on the first part. Ennyn Durin Aran Moria. Durin Aran Moria. Durin. Moria. Where had she heard those words before? She gasped for air a bit, when it struck her.
"Isn't that from Lord of the Rings?"
She really hoped she hadn't just said something incredibly stupid.

@scrapula Hey, thanks for interacting with Cori :)
I'm sorry I didn't reply to you yet, it was a very long work day for me today (unlike all the people celebrating labor day)
I'll do my best to reply to you as soon as possible. But now I really need to sleep.
Good night all :)

Hot water and lemon. And tranquility.
Here she was, at a cafe at the edge of town. She sat outside at a table in the sun and looked at an elderly couple that appeared from the woods adjacent to the terrace. It was nice here, with nature and the kind people. This was also her last stop before starting a new life.

Traveling around had been right for her for a while. With no financial worries, she was free to do as she pleased for once. No responsibilities. And a great deal of time to mourn her mother and adapt to the whole idea of demi-goddessness. Which was so absurd.
In the beginning she had talked to her mother a lot. In her mind. Never ever had she expected that at some point her mother would reply to her. At least she knew now who her father was. Which was kinda exiting.

When she had realised her ability to conjure metals and gems, her plan had been to make a lot of dollar coins. Unfortunately, people were rather suspicious of someone with a big bag of only dollar coins and no bills whatsoever. So she tried a different approach. Jewelry with gems and gold and silver. Besides being able to sell them rather easy for a good price, once she found a jeweler, it was fun and good practice to use her power this way.

Even though life was ever interesting this way, she felt she needed a home. The place where she grew up had no people that held her there. Her few old friends had moved out of the little town to study. Being on the road, she had less and less contact with anybody from her old life. And she had no need for that either. Up to the point where she was all alone in this world, just traveling through. just observing. A shadow of the living.

After learning about Olympus Academy, she decided that it could be her new home. Or at least a great place to learn more about herself and meet new interesting people. She got up to pay for her drink.

She could've taken a cab. But with the nice weather she had decided to walk. Her backpack was relatively light, but still a backpack full of travelsupplies. But she was used to that.

While walking on the side of the road, some cars passed by. They were probably filled with other students, each with their own thoughts about what the new schoolyear would bring. Some guy even passed on a motorcycle. She really hoped she would feel at home among the other demigods.

---

Finally she arrived at the school. Some other students were sitting or walking around. Talking to each other.
Not knowing where to go, Cori just stood at the schoolyard and looked around. A bit forlorn, she gazed at the building and the other students, taking everything in.
So here I am
