Aiden and Chiron had gone into the rec room after John had left. He supposed it was a better place to talk about the upcoming quest, without anyone listening in. They heard the door open and John and the girl from earlier entered the room. At first he couldn't place where he'd seen her but her scowl was familiar. Was this Arcadia? Oh boy a quest with her was going to certainly be interesting. He watched John hurry out of the room, clearly in a rush to leave the tense atmosphere. Chiron cleared his throat and spoke "Aiden this is Arcadia. Arcadia you're probably wondering why you're here?"

[Missing-One]

Arcadia crossed her arms, jutting her hip as she shifted her weight to one leg. She gave a slight shrug and nodded. "That's what I asked, yeah. Why I was called her might be something nice to know." She tapped her fingers on her arm impatiently, hoping to hide the nervousness she was feeling with anger. Obviously this was a lot more than just how tidy she kept her cabin.

Chiron watched the nervous girl, amused, she must think this was something bad. He supposed this was like being called into the principal's office for her. "Aphrodite has personally requested you go on a quest with this boy to find her magic girdle. The very one Hephaestus gave her has been, uh, misplaced. It seems a monster is using it to lure mortals, so she's asked her son Aiden to go and retrieve it with you." he gestured to Aiden looking to see if he had anything to add. The boy's face was impassive, it seemed he was lost in thought over the quest.

Victoria followed Jay away from the breakfast table and towards the arena, looking up at the sky she wondered if there were any monsters out at this time of day. Noticing all the tree leaves falling Victoria remembered all those years with her mother raking the leaves into piles before jumping into them, smiling slightly Victoria wondered if it would be too childish to just jump into a small pile of leaves. But eventually decided to not, "Sorry Little Sister, What kind of monster are we going to look for??"

[kittycatt]

"The scariest monster of them all, the practice dummy." Jemima said trying to keep her face straight. She and Victoria both knew that neither of them had ever actually fought any real monsters single handily, but that didn't mean they weren't good fighters. Due to their parentage they were evenly matched if they tried to use their powers. She could see through any darkness Victoria summoned, and Victoria could see any spirits she summoned. They couldn't use their powers against each other so a fight between them was mostly based off skill level.

Before the pair knew it they were entering the somewhat crowded arena. It seemed a majority of the campers were also here practicing their skills. They headed towards a practice area that was empty. "Want to practice our powers with these dummies or do you want to move them and have a practice fight?" she asked Victoria.

[Missing-One]

"Aphrodite?" She frowned, shaking her head. "Asked for me to find her-" She shuddered, resisting the urge to gag. "magic Girdle?" She glanced at the boy. He must be an Aphrodite kid. With her experience, they all seemed to be vain and arrogant, too busy meddling with love affairs and spreading rumors and looking in mirrors to care about anyone but themselves. Of course there was the off-hand chance that he was 'different', he wasn't 'like the others'. But what did that mean, really? Just another special snowflake, trying to prove how unique they were, when really they were just like the thing they tried so hard to separate themselves from.

"I don't understand." Arcadia let her arms fall to her hips and shook her head again. "Aphrodite requested that we go find one of her undergarments?" She pulled a face, not finding the idea all that appealing. "Whats so special about it? And why can't she just get it herself?" She knew it wasn't her place to question the will of the gods, and heck, it was a chance to get out of here, at least for a little bit, but Jesus. What an odd story.

And more importantly, why her? What did the goddess of love and beauty, the two things she lacked most in her life, pick her? Maybe that was exactly why. Aphrodite was infamous for interfering in demigod affairs. Perhaps it was her way of trying to help her out? A little wink, wink, nudge, nudge? Her eyes shifted back to the boy and gave him a once-over. He wasn't all that bad looking, admittedly, but there was a lot more that she looked for than just looks. She'd just prefer that the goddess kept her advice to herself, actually, like thanks, but no thanks.

Victoria looked at Jay for a second blinking before she finally let her high deep pitched laugh ring out across the training arena. Right at that moment she didn't care if anyone stared at them or not what Jay had said was quite funny and honestly it helped lifted up her spirits, after awhile of laughing they finally reached the empty practice area. Looking at the dummies Victoria wondered what she need to practice more "Well I wouldn't might getting my power alot stronger ... Although i never seem to use it unless were playing catcher the flag today" Pushing one dummy aside Victoria found one that looked quite big enough "How about this dummy?? It looks scary enough and brand new" Smiling Victoria set one in place before looking for another one "You know what Jay?? We should ask father to send us a quest, I'm sick of staying here all the time plus i never get to see my mother" Sighing Victoria looked back at Jay "I wish you could meet her, She would like you"

[kittycatt]

"A quest would be nice to go on, I'm sure you're mothers great. Right now let's see what we can do to this dummy Vika." Jemima said with a challenge in her voice. She had seen some of the campers looking at them and she wanted to show them what she could do. Jemima quickly called some spirits and whispered different commands. She had to be fully concentrated usually to command them. Summoning them was a breeze but commands needed to be practiced. Once the rowdy spirits were standing straight looking at her and Victoria she turned to the girl. "I'd say this place needs to be a little darker eh?" she said slightly laughing.

And more importantly, why her? What did the goddess of love and beauty, the two things she lacked most in her life, pick her? Maybe that was exactly why. Aphrodite was infamous for interfering in demigod affairs. Perhaps it was her way of trying to help her out? A little wink, wink, nudge, nudge?

Aiden saw Arcadia check him out, so he turned to her and winked. He knew he had good looks, compliments of Aphrodite's blessing. The girl was pretty in a nice way. She wasn't conventionally pretty like his sibling and he liked that about her.

"Well Arcadia the girdle is enchanted to make people fall in love with the wearer. A monster is using it to lure mortals and capture them. She's asked you guys to go and retrieve it for her." Chiron said looking at the pair. They would certainly have an interesting quest to talk about when they come back. "The question is who should come along with you guys?" he asked them.

Hailey B. Green
Thanatos|Cabin|Alone

Hailey sighed and leaned back in her chair. She was bored, and knew she probably wasn't supposed to be hiding out in her cabin like a recluse, but she didn't feel like socializing any more. Hailey though that she had heard some gossip about a quest for magic underpants or something like that, but she presumed it was just Hermes kids being Hermes kids. Hailey leaned forward and grabbed a random book from the shelf. It was Stephen King's It. She flipped to the beginning and started to read, but quickly flipped a few pages in, looking for action.

[Missing-One]

Arcadia gave Aiden a look that pretty clearly said 'maybe in your dreams' before she turned her attention back to Chiron as he explained the significance of the piece. A girdle that made people fall in love with you, huh? She tried to think of a reason why Aphrodite would ever need such a thing, though when she came up with no plausible answer she thought better than to question it. It didn't matter why, she decided, just that they got it back before anyone else got hurt again.

"Hailey." The name came out before she could even stop to consider. "Uh, I mean, maybe Hailey? She's a Thanatos kid. She's good with her scythe, and, uh, we could use her help, I guess." She rubbed the back of her neck, wondering why she had been so quick to volunteer her. Probably because she was the only one she'd really interacted with, she supposed. It'd give her a chance to say sorry for running away, at least.

The more she thought about that event, the harder she cringed. She made a mental note to work on her people skills. Hailey must have thought she was crazy or something. Girl ask to train, girl loses, girl runs away without saying anything? Crazy, or she maybe she thought she was just a sore loser. Arcadia wasn't sure which was worse, honestly.
