The lake incident earlier that afternoon left Aiden shaken up, to say the least. Not his ice bath, but the events that preceded it. His chat with Teilo about the prophecy and Audra took a pretty big toll on him, not that he'd ever say it. He vaguely remembered the other camper carrying him to the Hermes cabin along with Juliet. A half-hour or so in the well-insulated cabin was enough to perk him right up, and after a warm shower, change of clothes, and hot food in his belly, Aiden was good as new. Still, the idea of joining Capture the Flag with the rest of the campers left a bad taste in his mouth, so he decided instead to help out in the medical tent with the satyrs and Apollo campers, masking his aversions behind his constant "I'm fine." His cabinmates were plenty disappointed to hear their counselor wouldn't be on their team this time, but he brushed it off as "I just got a little shaken up is all." and "I'll hold you guys back if I'm not bringing my A-game." White lies, and ones Aiden rehearsed well. The second statement had some truth to it; the last thing the Athena cabin needed was for him to be fighting while distracted.

Thoughts of the prophecy kept gnawing at the back of his head, clawing for his attention. It wasn't a coincidence that this started out the same as the one five years ago. And Audra... Aiden didn't want to think about it. He couldn't bring himself to relive it. But he couldn't help himself. The lines of the prophecy only mixed in with the rest of his tumultuous thoughts. Few shall freeze among the clouds, Prophecies were rarely direct, so he doubted that bit meant the questers would get a little chilly. Aiden slapped his cheeks to snap out of it. Pull yourself together, dummy! He trudged the rest of the way through the snow up to the tent, finding it bustling with activity. Unsurprising. "Hey, Chuck." He spotted the satyr immediately as he came inside. "Need an extra set of hands? My first aid's gettin' a little rusty."

Niji patted her leg once knowing that it wouldn't do any good since he didn't have his inhaler at camp.
He drank some water stopping to give her a small smile in thanks.

Slowly as he got water in his body he started to slowly calm down and get some air as well as he was forced to think ablut something other then breathing.

Emerson "Emmie" Tags: Niji Location: Forest

Emerson sighed in relief as the camper started to calm down. She knew most of the campers names but not this campers. They must be new, but now wasn't the time to ask their name. "Do you want to visit the med tent? They could probably
help better than I could." she laughed anxiously. She wasn't very knowledgeable in the medical area so she couldn't possibly help him in the best way. "We could probably make it back in time for the game." she told him reassuringly.

Niji nodded not trusting himself to speak.
They wanted to be back for the game, but he really needed to go to the medic tent.
Niji got up slowly not wanting to make the attack worse.
Niji blinked and focused on breathing.

Emerson "Emmie" Tags: Niji, Aiden, and Chuck Location: Med tent

Emerson got up and slung his arm over her to help him walk easier. "Hey this camper is dehydrated and is asthmatic. I don't believe he has an inhaler though." she told whomever was in the tent worker. She didn't look up since she was focused on keeping the camper steady. "I'd like to stay with them so I can make sure he makes it back for capture the flag in time and safely." she told Aiden and Chuck hoping they didn't have any arguments.

Niji gave the tent workers a smile, well at leart he hoped it was the tent workers he still couldn't really see.

"T-thanks." Niji wheezed.
They felt bad that they were making the other camper miss capture the flag.

"... sorry..." Niji rasped out.

as more and more campers came in their groups and by their lonesome, growing the crowd exponentially, teilo found his mind wandering to other areas of pressure. notably, the dream that he had had. he hadn't thought anything of it - why would he? there had never been a solid structure on what was a 'prophetic' dream and what was a simple, brain running dream, and now that he was faced with the prospects of a quest, some grand adventure, he was wondering what exactly he had to offer such a seemingly dire idea.
it didn't seem reasonable. he could hardly hold himself together, let alone do something that, potentially, would 'save the world'. he was no hero, by any means, and didn't want to think of himself as one. he had enough complexes as it was. all the people in the group seemed so much more confident, so much more ready to be faced with a horrific threat, and to be confronted with chance in all of its possibilities -

it was not a very good start to the summer, to say the least.

everyone looked fine. buzzing, in fact. everyone except for -
his eyes fell on a boy he had not spoken to before. around his age, perhaps a tad younger, whose eyes darted around quickly, like he feared being jumped out on. like he knew something that everyone else didn't. there were others. aiden had revealed as much. perhaps this boy was one of them.
slowly, teilo moved toward him, pushing gently through the clamouring campers to get to a point where he could truly examine the anxiety that emanated from him. "you look nervous," he said, voice low but still audible. "you look how i feel, actually." an awkward, crooked and pursed smile that did not translate to the rest of his face. "are you alright?"

the crowd was growing. the chatter billowing, the wind bashing at the small scraps of bare skin, and orin was absolutely loving it. the sound of the forest, the creak and groan of the trees, battered by the breeze, counteracted by a feeling of excitement - undercut by some sense of doom. he would not focus on the latter. there was no point.
he stretched his arms above his head. the extension of his back made a loud cracking noise. it satisfied him greatly. then, he was in the action, zipping about, looking for someone to talk to - to trash talk, perhaps, though they had not yet been assigned their respective teams, or maybe just to cool the mood of.
perhaps 'cool' was the wrong word, given the circumstances. calm. heat up. relax. these were all dust in the wind. he didn't much care for the semantics of it all, but rather on a boy who seemed very displeased to be in the general vicinity of the forest.

"hey, pal!" he called, jogging and weaving through people to approach the figure. "aydan, isn't it? brilliant name, that. keep it, if you can. i've heard another one hopping about. different spelling, but you might be able to battle him for it, right? there can only be one." a reference to a film that he knew wouldn't be picked up on, but which he spouted anyway. "awful weather for it, though. i'm practically shrivelling up over here. still. get the muscles moving, right? they call it a warm up for a reason. maybe i should do pull-ups on a tree branch." with that, he jumped, arm outstretched, for a low-hanging branch - which, when grasped, snapped.
he managed a graceful landing, but laughed at himself anyway. "or maybe not. i'm not really mowgli, am i?"

Jamie Wallace|16|he/him|Iris|Forest|tags:Teilo, CTF group
Jamie jumped at the sound of a voice, turning to look at who had spoken with wide eyes. The boy looked a little older than he was, and Jamie thought he recognized him as one of the new campers, though he couldn’t quite recall a name. And of course the boy could tell that he was freaking out. He hated that his emotions were so clear and obvious to everyone around him, but he’d always been like that, and there wasn’t much he could do about it. “Uh, yeah...” He replied with a weak smile, clearing his throat when his voice came out as barely more than a croak. “Yeah, I’m just not a huge fan of capture the flag. And...other things.” He muttered the last part, deciding it was better not to bring up prophetic dreams. He knew other campers had had similar dreams, but if this boy didn’t know what he was talking about he’d probably just sound crazy. He was worried he’d sound crazy no matter what, he certainly felt like he was losing his mind.

He eyed the older boy, raising an eyebrow. He said Jamie looked how he felt, but he didn’t look very nervous. He figured some people were just better at hiding their feelings than he was. “You’re nervous?” He asked, seeming to have relaxed slightly from his initial jumpiness. He became comfortable with new people really quickly, and talked to everyone as if they were an old friend. “You look like you could...beat some people up. What do you have to worry about?” He asked. His tone was friendly and genuinely confused, and he hoped his comment wouldn’t offend the other boy as he meant it to be a compliment.

Agatha "Aggy" Clemson|She/her|Unknown (Ares)|Location: Forest|tags: CTF group

Aggy was practically buzzing with excitement. This game was like a dream come true, and she didn't want to waste a moment.
Her spar with Auggie had only enthused her more, even though the older camper had soon called it off so they wouldn't be worn out for tonight.

She had cleaned up her bronze chest plate from earlier and added leg guards, though her cutlass was still her favorite piece of the ensemble. She reached a hand down to run over the pommel, as if she thought it somehow could've disappeared in the brief walk to the woods.
She tapped a foot as she waited, impatient at the others for milling about and chattering when there was clearly something more interesting afoot.

Alex Burns|17|He/him| Aphrodite| Location: Forest| Tags: CTF group, mentions: Orin & Aydan

Alex visibly perked up when he saw a hint of drama, and made his way toward the campers involved. One he recognized as being the Zeus counselor, which was a shame really. It would've made a much better story if he'd fallen on his face and had to be rushed to the medic.
Oh gods, did I really just think that? Alex quickened his pace, throwing on a look of mild concern. Huh, at least that one has some taste. He thought, noticing that the other boy was decked out in all black. Could use some accessories, but it's a start.
"Orin, Orin, Orin," He called, shaking his head in mock horror.
"You know that's not good form for a pull-up! Here, let me show you," Alex added, selecting a tree with 2 parallel branches near it's stem, he wedged his axe across the space and lifted his body, facing the others with a smirk. And I bet that look cool too! He thought, blissfully unaware that no one looks cool one-upping.

Too bad for this distraction, or he might've noticed the slight whining of the branches...

Ophelia Rogers|She/her|Aphrodite|Location: Dining Pavilion|tags: CTF Group, mentions: Emmie, Niji, Teilo, Jamie, Orin, Aydan, Alex

Ophelia stood off to the side, observing the others. She couldn't help a few thinly veiled eyerolls at their antics, but watching one of the newbies collapse onto another camper nearly had her rushing to aid. Luckily, someone else had been right there to save him.
She watched two campers talking nervously, probably for the first time judging by their body language. Neither held particular interest too her, though she knew that the Jamie boy was quite friendly from his many attempts to start a conversation with her.

Her gaze flicked over to a movement, and she pretended to examine her shield carefully to avoid outright laughing. Mira and Chiron had had many "chats" with the Aphrodite cabin about "not judging people", "being more accepting", and "it's okay to disagree with someone's choices, it's not okay to mock them for them" and she didn't want to be the cause of the next one.
