Camp Half-Blood: Siren's Cry || Official Roleplay

Reina

Reina rushed around the camp, putting out fires wherever she could. Eventually, they burned themselves out and there was hardly anything left behind. Her jaw locked and she clenched her fist. Isfet would pay for this- or Apophis, whoever he was. She didn’t really care right now.

Reina headed back to the big house, remembering about the meeting she was supposed to be at. She walked down past fields of scorched vegetables, and the forest which luckily hadn’t caught fire. She walked in the door and noticed the mood was still very gloomy, so she decided to speak up. “Ajax, is the meeting happening or no?” She folded her arms and waited for an answer.

@Littlefeets Hope you don’t mind :sweat_smile:

Remington "Remy" Walsh | with Erik Falkenburg | Big House

The voices and Gods seemed to have disappeared now and they seemed to be in no immediate danger. Not that would have worried Remy. Altight, maybe it would have a little, but not on the outside. If he outwardly panicked then that would just add to the chaos and wouldn’t help. Whereas, if he continued to act the way he does, calm and collected, others may hopefully see the situation as something less stressful. Maybe fewer people would panic and clearer decision can be made. At least, that was what Remy hoped. Though he wwas probably being far too optimistic.
“Heh, thanks. I know that I can definitely count on you,” Erik said, followed by a quick wink.
What did that wink mean? Did that mean something more?, Remy thought. No, probably not, he was probably just teasing me. “Yeah, you can,” Remy replied to him coolly with a smile.
“Now then, onto the quest idea. Yes, I quite think that I’m in the mood for more misadventures, least we get on the bad side of more forest nymphs. How do you feel about a quest that hopefully leaves camp? You know, something in the big apple and all that. Want another team leader to join us?”
“In the big apple?” Remy repeated, laughing, making sure to add a little sarcsm to his tone. “In the place that we just watched get detroyed on Iris vision? Superb idea, and then we can take on the fates when we find ourselves in the underworld.” He continued to laugh. Once he had stopped laughing, he nodded. “Yeah, but out of the camp is a good idea. What quests are there? Didn’t they say there was a list hanging in this room or did I mishear?”, Remy asked, looking around. “Perhaps deciding on the quest will help to decide the other leader to join us?”

@BlueInferno - Erik Falkenburg - Also, this is a restart, I don’t think the forest one happened.


Jamal | with Emma Lockwood | The beach

“We need to have some fun right? Especially now there is a new threat around the corner,” Emma told them.
“Yeah, it could be just what we need. A bit of fun and light entertainment,” Jamal agreed. They were pleased to meet someone who, unknowingly, has tapped into the dark part of their brain that everyone else had told them to hide away.
“Should we head to the big house or see what’s going on with the smoke?”
“Yes, we should,” Jamal concurred and followed her all the way there, quietly.

Skip to after the event and prophecy!

After the shaking, the noise, the prophecy, the fear, Jamal did not feel comfortable here at camp anymore. And when that happened, they knew what would happen; the stranger door, no, a stranger door. Jamal didn’t want this. They didn’t need this, they needed a distraction. To think about anything else but want to not be at camp. The girl, she could help. Jamal turned to the girl he’d just been talking to and asked a flood of questions, “So did this freak you out too? Who do you think it was? What does it mean now? Are you a leader? If you are, do you know why they need us?” They paused. “Oh, and by the way, I’m Jamal, what’s your name?” Hope these would be enough to distract their mind and fast.

Erik Falkenburg // with Remy

Hearing Remy be all chippy about Erik’s safety definitely yanked away any other thoughts about the concern with the world and how gods were disappearing. Who needed depression when you have Remy? Bloody wonderful, that’s what this was. Remy then went into his own explanation about blah blah blah, they could die and other stuff. That’s why quests exist, to incite a little danger, make the normal a little different, change up the formality a bit.

“Rightttttt, but with you at my side,” Erik stepped closer to Remy, meeting his eyes with a light smile, “we could probably take on the fates as well.” He spun around in the next moment to snatch ar Remy’s writ, “Not then, quest ideas, all the information should be right over…here.”

Erik bounded over toward the board before plucking off a few scrolls. Four quests, one spicy one that looked quite fun, but one other quest that would actually allow them to leave the camp. Whirling around again, Erik presented that particular quest.

Quest

“Now we just need a death child. I know Camilla, Asher, Vasilios, Zagan, Colton-Eliot, Shaniki, though I have no clue where they are or what you would prefer. Maybe Asher or Carmila because I know Hades has a death vibe, I’m not that sure about the children of Anubis, but that could count. We’re just talking about Hades, Pluto, Osiris, Hel, and maybe Anubis, right?”

:leaves: Ariadne Lanthe Calpyso || Big House


Ariadne slept in that morning. She was exhausted, she barely had enough food last night because she was busy attempting to work her spells which had weakened since the pantheons had entered. So she slept in, up until the sounds of carving into her wall appeared and the evil voice echoeing throughout, she quickly slipped on some gym shoes and jeans with a simple black t-shirt. “Holy cr-p,” Ariadne cursed as she saw the flames leap higher and higher on the fields, she broke into a run before disapearing and reappearing by the blaze. “βρέχω (Na vréxei)” Ariadne muttered in Greek as a downpour of rain began on the fields, but it wasn’t enough to put out the fires.

She ran back to the big house and stopped just before she ran into a girl she recognized, “Camilla! You have to come, the crops are burning down!” Ariadne exclaimed and pointed to where the fire, although not as high as before, ate at the crops.

:owl: Marcus Felix Attensia || Big House


Marcus Attensia’s mouth was still wide open. With his memory and smarts he was apple to memorize the prophecy after Karan spoke it. But come on, it was a bit more than needed. First we got some little-no large demonic snake threatening then conversing with them followed by Apollo and Mercury doing a little daytime stalking before hitting some random girl, pretty one too, with a prophecy which they hadn’t had one in…well Marcus didn’t know but a pretty f-cking long time.

The last thing Marcus needed was all the panic that followed, his head hurt and he couldn’t think straight, he could only act, argh, the ADHD in his brain taking over. He stood up and attempted to walk away blinking his eyes furiously, but he still had to take in the Camp Leader’s meeting into account. Marcus bumped into someone, glanced to his side to see Arden Marino daughter of Tyr. “I don’t suppose you’re faring particulary well, are you?” He asked sarcastically as the poor girl looked as scattered if not more than he was. “Lovely day we have here.”

:balance_scale: Lukas Costas || Big House


Lukas Costas didn’t like chaos in the least. Justice was balanced, perfect, orderly, it was Ma’at. Chaos was injustice, cruelty, messy, it was Isfet. Lukas Costas, like many people did not see gray areas, it was black and white. Good or Bad. Just or Unjust. There was no middle, and you got what you truly deserved. An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth. A life for a life. So he stared at the serpent’s large shadow as it twisted, laughed and unravelled, he stared at it with a deep disgust and hatred. But Lukas was smart, he did what a few select people do, he listened. This creature didn’t hunger war, he hungered for an end, an eternal end. Some others already whispered his name, Isfet, no-no-no, that was wrong. Lukas ran to the Nemsis cabin and scrambled around, he opened the book, it detailed the fight between good and evil between each civilization and who had ultimately won. It was the only book in his cabin, and the only one of it’s kind within the entire camp.

He flipped through pages smoothly unlike how he rushed here. Babylon, Sumerians, Rome, Greece, aha Eygpt. Unlike people used terms of Good and Evil, to them it wasn’t so simple, and as right, they were a genius civilization. Ma’at and Isfet, Chaos and Order. Apophis, it matched what he was speaking about. Apophis was not Isfet nor was Isfet Apophis, no it was deeper. Isfet was the entity, as if someone were to compare Satan and God, it was Isfet and Ma’at. They were all-mighty, powerful enitties that took on servants, vessels to complete their work. And when Apophis was talking about- the book in his hand began to smoke, and burn. Ah-ah-ah, young one can’t you enjoy the mystery. The cruel snakes laughter was quick as the book burst into flames. He ran to the Big House.

She was slightly confused as to what this all meant
so she went outside to walk around, To help clear
her mind. She has only been here for a few days
and this is probably one of the weirdest things.
Someone declaring an attack, at least what she
thinks. She accidentally bumped into someone and
fell off balance to the ground. “Oh, I’m so sorry.” She
told the girl and stood up, dusting herself off. “Uh,

Akio Moore
With Dustin || Big House Patio

“I was put on the f.cking spot, do you understand? I couldn’t know the answer that quickly but you could have helped me. Do you still not think we’re at war?!”
Although Akio was well aware that he was still boiling with anger, it threw him off how he spoke to him. Naturally, he back away a good bit. Not because he was scared, but rather that he knew the guy needed some space. This was the first time that he had truly seen Dustin angry, and he was unsure how to react. It would be so easy for him to just walk away from him right now, but what kind of friend would that make him? He would not chase after him but he would not walk away like a fool.
After a moment of silence, Akio finally replied calmly, “I was trying to calm you down before you said anything else that you would regret. In the end, you didn’t need to name him, so it is alright, right?” As he asked the final question, his head fell to one side in a tilt. “And… I do not know what to think. Obviously I do not want to think that we are at war, but I am sure there will come a time when I must accept it.” Had that been the most Akio had said at once? He was not certain, but it felt like a lot.
He had no idea how to calm him down further, so he simply said, “How about we have that race after Ajax speaks to the cabin leaders, huh? As soon as it is done.”

Arden Mae Marino
With Marcus || Big House

Arden was so close to immediately throwing a punch at the source of the familiar voice that now spoke to her. Partially due to the need to move and partially because he was the biggest jckss that she had ever encountered. To say he consistently succeeded in p!ssing her off… Well, that was an understatement. She was beginning to wonder if there was anyone at this camp that did not annoy her.
For the moment, the cabin leaders meeting was at the back of her despite staying close enough to go back inside as soon as needed. The sarcasm in her voice resulted in her eyes narrowing as she slowly turned her head to look at the one and only Marcus Attensia. “I’m faring just fine, *sshole. And lovely? Do you even realize what all is happening right now?”
In general, she was often rather patient with people. Unless they were like Marcus. She felt that it was a waste of time and energy to bother being polite. Despite the narrowed eyes that seemed to spark with anger, the rest of her face, as usual, was neutral.

After the rumbling everyone was frozen. I looked around at everyone, expecting someone to say something. Everybody just stood still in shock. “What the hell was that Ajax?” I asked a little angry. This camp was supposed to be a safe place for all demigods, and we were just ambushed by a serpent. Camp Half-Blood would soon fall, just like New York.

:dna: Audrey Williams :dna:

After the rumbling everyone was frozen. A girl was trying to get recruited onto the hunt which I didn’t understand how she could do at a time like this. I sighed and looked around. A kid by the name of Colton - said Isfet anyway - expressed his fury towards Ajax. The camp leaders began asking questions and talking over one another. I shook my head and hurried for the door.

I pushed open the door and headed to my cabin for my sword. I was hit by heat as I looked over to see the crops burning as flames traveled through them. Campers and satyrs rushed to put the flames out. I was unaware if Aurelio was following me, but I didn’t care. If the camp was in danger, we’d all have to throw ourselves into training to prepare. And might as well start early.

I looked around trying to find her. I spotted her talking to somebody else. I pointed over to her. “The one with the darker hair, like mine. Her names Molly. It’s not always sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows but, it’s nice to have someone to lean on.” I smiled and nodded.

I put my hands on my hips and thought. I looked back on the 2 years I’ve been here, all the chaos and mayhem. “Something always goes down. We’re always in some type of trouble.” I told her honestly. I thought of a key factor that I was hesitant to tell her about. I didn’t want to scare her, or persuade her into not trust Camp Half-Blood but she had to be prepared for what’s to come and the possibilities. “Kids die.” I said. “But, but but we do have fun in Capture The Flag. Yeah, Capture The Flag is a joy!” I said, trying to excuse the fact that this may be her last year breathing.

There was a loud sinister laugh and the ground began rumbling. I looked around and objects crashed, people went into a panic. The voice began calling out to kids, offering them a whole new life. He spoke of the good and the evil, trying to convert everyone. We were low on supplies and at our most vulnerable state, kids joining this Isfet would just make everything worse. Everything stopped and everybody was in internal panic. I looked at Esme. I nodded. “Pretty much…”

:tada: Molly Beckett :tada:

I nodded towards her. “I’ll see you some time so-” The ground rumbled and a greater power began speaking like he was in control. He was desperate, I could here it in his tone and the way he spoke recruiting other campers. Speaking as they had potential. No doubt did the kids that were brave enough to speak were skilled, but those skills in the wrong hands would be dangerous. Everything froze and kids flushed Ajax with questions. I knew outside would be just as worse as it was in the Big House.

I pushed open the Big House doors to see fires prancing along the crops. “Fire!” I yelled to inform everyone else. I rushed towards the crops to put out the flames until they reached the cabins.

Event


Due to the quick work of several campers, although too late and few in many, the camp has only lost 26.8% of it’s food source. The fire has been put out but a quarter of the fields is in a charred mess. Attempts to grow food using magic will not work currently.

Food Status: Small but enough to survive on for the next month. The meat locker has burned down completely. The only type of food is vegetarian food.

Kaylen ran out of the big house, staring the smoke that remained. Well sh!t. She thought to herself as she examined the wreckage. There’s no way we’re surviving on the food we have left. She kneeled down and took some of the ashes in her hand. She looked beside her and spotted one of her siblings, Molly, then stood up and walked towards her. “This is awful.” She said, thinking out loud and turning to face her. “Did you see what happened?” She asked, curious.

Ariadne and that she was right, the crops were all
burning. “Oh my god…” She then quickly went after
her and towards the crops. Most of the crops were
ablaze with a somewhat high flame. She started to
think as to what they could possibly do. Considering
Ariadne already used her abilities and Camilas
couldn’t do anything that would help the fires.

After the crops were put out I tried sweeping up the ashes into a small pile. I stood up and dusted off my hands and sighed gazing at the crops. We were low on food and even with the hunt we wouldn’t have enough for next month. Neither did we have protein, and with only vegetarian selection we wouldn’t be getting enough energy to even lift a sword.

“This is awful.” “Did you see what happened?”

I looked over to see Kaylen. I wasn’t a huge fan of her. I had nothing against her, I just didn’t have the time to get to know my half-siblings nor was a interested. “Uh, no. I just walked out of the Big House and saw fire.” I gave a weak smile. My eyes drifted from hers as I struggled to leave the conversation.

Ajax Taylor

Just after Ajax dismissed everyone aside from the cabin leaders a voice sounded. He just stayed silent as everything happened, keeping his temper in check, though anyone close by would have been able to notice his clenched fists. There was nothing he could do in that moment to make any difference, which he didn’t like. Then, something further unexpected happened. Apollo granted Kara his patronage, and she became the camp’s new oracle, before uttering a new prophecy. Ajax was processing everything, unsure of how best to act, as Reina came up to him and he heard someone’s reaction addressed towards him. Ajax saw Kara exit, and planned to check in with her when he had the chance, as he turned towards Reina with a deep exhale. “I’m just going to say a few things before everyone leaves. And Reina, this hunt is more important than ever now. Choose whoever you think will be of the most help, but we’re counting on the supplies.” Ajax gave her a look that said he was counting on her before turning towards everyone else. “I truthfully do not know exactly what is going on or coming our way, but we have to keep alert and prepare ourselves for everything we are about to face. We are facing a grave threat, and we have to stick together. If we turn against each other, we won’t have a chance. Stay prepared, keep your eyes open, and tell me if anything is out of place.” Ajax looked over the room at everyone still there. Mostly cabin leaders, but some who weren’t as well. “Anything could happen, and you all have to keep your cabins together and be prepared. Even if things change within your cabins. Because as I was planning to mention to you all, is that members of some cabins are requesting changes to the leadership of their respective cabins.” Ajax sighed. “Now all of you are dismissed. Be careful, whatever you do.” He looked at them all one more time before walking outside to find Kara. “Are you alright Kara?”

“Wait which horseshoes? You ave so many really nice ones.” I say as I look down at my own that were simply a dark silverish black metal. I shook my head as I heard his hoof echoing around the room. “Its has been alright so far but the weather is very poor.” I said right as I looked up to see that the fields had caught fire as well as a few of the buildings. "Oh no this is so bad. " I had known we were already rather short on food because of all these new mouths to feed.

“Well, thank you mate. I got this new silver one with gold imprints. Cost me a good $300, can’t say it was worth it though.” I frowned. I was devastated to have wasted so much money on horseshoes I’ve yet to wear but there’s always the future. The ground began to shake, and I didn’t know if it was an earthquake or due to my hooves. A dark sinister voice sounded as campers spoke up against it. “Be careful, we don’t want to entice it!” I warned them.

"Oh no this is so bad. "

I looked as to where Finn was referring to. I looked outside to the fields burning from flames. My eyes grew. “No!” I exclaimed. I quickly opened the Big House doors and galloped towards the crops. Others campers joined me in putting out the flames.

The flames died and I stared at the remaining ashes. I sighed and covered my eyes with my hands. “This is bad, this is bad…” I muttered.

"I need to walk away for a minute. I really can’t deal with this now as well. It was really stressful to have all these extra demigods here not to mention that as a satyr other than this camp there were not many places for us to go. “You are welcome to come with me if you would like,” I said as I turned back to Reuban. “I simply just can not look at this right now.”

Remington "Remy" Walsh | with Erik Falkenburg | Big House

It didn’t seem as if Erik was totally listening to what he was saying. Though it did offend him slightly, he understood that he shouldn’t take it to heart, that was just the way Erik was. Remy had got use to that. “Rightttttt, but with you at my side,” Erik stepped closer to Remy, meeting his eyes. “We could probably take on the fates as well.”
The hairs on the back of Remy’s neck stood up on end at Erik’s sudden proximately to him. “Uh…” His throat feeling rather dry at that moment. He swallowed. “…Right back at ya.”
Erik spun around. “Now then, quest ideas, all the information should be right over… here.” Erik bounded over toward the board before plucking off a few scrolls, Remy taking a few seconds to find the ability to walk to follow Erik over. “Now we just need a death child. I know Camilla, Asher, Vasilios, Zagan, Colton-Eliot, Shaniki, though I have no clue where they are or what you would prefer. Maybe Asher or Carmila because I know Hades has a death vibe, I’m not that sure about the children of Anubis, but that could count. We’re just talking about Hades, Pluto, Osiris, Hel, and maybe Anubis, right?”
Once over by the table of scrolls, Remy took the scroll that was offered to him and began reading it as Erik was talking about their options. “Colton?”, Remy repeated a little loudly, especially since he wasn’t too far away from them. He knew of him and he seemed like a good fit. Plus, he was much younger, which would mean Erik probably would look at him in that way, he hoped. “I’ve seen that kid around, he seems pretty nice. Though it seems the death kid leads, do we really want a young kid to lead?”

ORP: To keep it fair to avoid leaving anyone out, should we have the order of posting be something like Colton, Erik, then Remy?

Dustin Mansor | with Akio Moore | Big House Patio

Dustin was still seething, but saw his how Akio backed away from him and tried to take a few deep breaths, to no avail of calming down. The silence seemed to help though. That undeveloped brain of Dustin’s, which he would never admit he believed he had, was churning. It was processing the scene that had just happened, and surprisingly, calming him down… slowly.
Akio finally replied calmly, “I was trying to calm you down before you said anything else that you would regret. In the end, you didn’t need to name him, so it is alright, right? And… I do not know what to think. Obviously I do not want to think that we are at war, but I am sure there will come a time when I must accept it.”
“Yeah, I know that,” Dustin snapped in reply. Then he huffed through his gritted teeth, trying to take a calm approach with his friend. It sort of worked. “Thanks. Yeah, a war is coming but you and I together, we’ll be stepping on the weak and defeat that voice thing.”
“How about we have that race after Ajax speaks to the cabin leaders, huh? As soon as it is done.”
“Yeah, you’re on,” Dustin agreed, his anger dissolving and he perked up a little like his usual self. “Once we find out what this is all about, then I can beat you in a race. When I do, then I could show you… a thing or two.” He actually laughed, not a full Dustin laugh, but almost.

“Do you think it was arson?” She asked, once again surveying the damage. She thought about what it would mean for the camp. No meat. Means no protein. We’ll feel the effects of that soon. She thought to herself. “Are you okay though? You didn’t get hurt?” She asked her, wanting to make sure that she didn’t get burned. She cared for her siblings in her cabin and it always pained her to see them injured.

I gazed at the crops, burned to a char. Campers were sweeping up the remaining ashes, and soon maybe the nymphs would come out and clear the rest of the area. Everything happened so quickly at once. A serpent showed up out of no where, tried to recruit us to join the evil, Karan spoke a prophecy, the crops and meat locker burned down, and kids are already packing for a quest. I needed to clear my head as did Finn. I followed Finn to where ever we were headed.

Other campers glared at me. “Sorry…” I whispered as their eyes drifted off towards the crops - or, what remained - once again. “We should start training. It’s best to prepare for what’s to come.” I hinted towards her. Maybe she’d think I was going to the armory. “No, I’m fine. And you don’t have to care, let’s just act like we don’t know each other.

“Fires can start naturally.” She pointed out, listening to Molly’s rant. “Although, I guess Isfet is probably closer to the truth. You’re right though, we should be training. Why don’t you come train with me?” She offered, recoiling once she heard the rest of what Molly said. “Why wouldn’t I care? Number one, I’m the head of our cabin. Number two, I care about each one of my siblings, so don’t think that going off on me will change that.”
