Anybody there?

Peep. 

How did this thread die, people? We didnt even start the quest yet!I'm sorry I abandoned this RP. We've got to start it up again.

ATTENTION TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE PERCY JACKSON rp:

(St. Owl, Brookeira, N.B., Cloudy Dweller, Sapphire Dragon, Young Writer, Geek Girl, SAAVY44x, Will T., Datie M., Rosebud, Hermione, Lyra, and MInty)

Let's continue the RP!

Ianthe-

...we squeezed in and pressed our ears to the wall.

"We come with urgent news, sir," one of the drakon riders said.

"Yes, I can see that, judging from the way you swooped in on drakons, of all things, and causing quite a ruckus!"

"Sorry, but it's our job. Message from Olympus: gaia has stirred. She is unconciously spawning monsters of the core of earth."

"The core of earth? What do you mean?!?! Monsters come from Tartarus!"

Laura and I looked at each other in shock. We were just as confused. Monsters not from Tartarus?

We listened more intently, but the voices grew quieter and muffled.

"We know.....quest....delayed....command....proceed..."

"no definite....trust....wavered....only dream...too rash...."

".....gaia...stirs....unwanted....angry....others....come out of hiding..."

"...no..."

The drakon riders' voices rose, and we could hear them perfectly clear: "SEND YOUR DEMIGODS OFF TO FIX THINGS!!!!!!!!!"

Just then, two campers burst into the room, gasping for breath.

"Chiron, Chiron, a buncha malarking Tartarus spawn attacked Justice here!" 

I would recognize that accent anywhere. Nenya!

The other camper, Justice, said, "A Minotaur....a drakon...some other monsters....they captured me! They were saying a bunch of stuff about an earth mother....Then Nenya saved me."

There was a silence.

Chiron said worriedly, "How did they get past the borders? Did they....wait a second. Were you sneaking out of camp, Justice?"

"Uhh....sort of."

"Do you do this frequently? Because the monsters clearly knew where to attack."

"Uh...yeah, well, I kind of go outside the borders every night."

Chiron sighed, then asked, "What did the monsters look like when they dissolved?"

Huh? That was a weird question. Gold dust, of course. Duh.

"Uh...I wasnt paying attention. But of course gold dust, right?"

Right on my train of thought, sister.

Nenya piped up. "I only killed two, the drakon and the minotaur. The others disappeared. The drakon disolved into dust, but the minotaur..." (here there were some weird mutterings in what I could only assume was Irish.) "it turned into a blackish-blusish-greenish smoke and seemed to sink into the ground."

There was another slience, and I imagined the drakon riders smirking.

Chiron made a noise in the back of his throat.

"Well, ladies, you are dismissed."

I heard Justice and Nenya walk out, and then the drakon riders.

laura and I slipped out of the secret wall and returned to our cabins.

It took a long time for me to fall asleep. 

Oooooh, YES YES YESYES YES!!!!!!!!!

WE ARE BACK IN BUSINESS!!!! EVERYONE WHO WAS HERE BEFORE, PLZ JOIN IN!!!!!!!!!

I missed this thread ever so much but never got around to adding to it. So sorry!!!!! :(

 
I will add to this thread in just a minute!

Oh, and oops, I realized just now that when i first introduced Chris, I said he was a son of Hephaestus but had water powers. Oops. What I meant to say was that he is a son of Hephaestus. He does NOT have water powers but can make just about anything, but is better at forging and carving metal than working with mechanics. He has fire powers, but can rarely use them unless he has strong emotions. 

Chris-

A lot of things have been happenig lately, not just the day at the lake, which by the way, had to be the best moment of my entire life. Ever since the kiss I've been filled with a very giddy (I dont usually use words like "giddy"), lightheaded feeling, and at random times I break into a huge grin.

But besides that, today Chiron finally got around to getting us ready for the quest! We leave tomorrow at dawn. Apparently Justice and Nenya got attacked by a bunch of monsters just outside of camp, and there are rumors that one of them dissolved into smoke, not dust! Imagine that!

As I was thinking about all of this, when Ianthe came up to me. I did a very bad job of supressing another random smile.

Ianthe's words came fast and in a blur, "Hi Chris....IuhjustwantedtotellyouuhthanksforlastngihtIeruhIuh......uh....I...." she stuttered, then started to turn away.

"Wait!" I said.

She looked back at me, her mystifying eyes questioning. "Yes?"

"I wanted to give you something."

 
OK Owlgirl, i don't really know how to introduce the PENDANT CHRIS MADE FOR IANTHE. It hangs from a long black cord and is made from polished gold. On the front it has the infinity loop, and on the back it says eternity. He made the plain pendant with the infinity loop a long time ago, but added the words "eternity" recently.

OK? 

THANK YOU SO MUCH HERMIONE FOR BEING PROMPT AND REPLENISHING THE THREAD!!!!!!! I WAS GIVING UP HOPE....

Ianthe-

In the morning Chiron announced the quest would leave at dawn. Almost a dozen campers including me, Laura, Winters, Chris, Nenya, and Justice are going. A quest hasn't been this large in almost decades! I can tell Chiron is nervous, but the Oracle said so, so her "rule" stands.

****

I took a deep breath and walked towards Chris. My heart fluttered when....

Oh so sorry I gtg!!!! Nobody leave for the quest yet; we should have something from everyone, as a sort of catchup, since we havent written in a while. 

Hooah!!! Back in buisness!

Jacob~

That night I couldn't sleep a wink. I tossed and turned for almost two and a half hours, till I finally gave up and got out of bed. I walked out onto the Hermes' cabin porch, which was quite large and elaborate. With the collumns carved with scenes of thievery and travel. I looked out over the railing to the lake. The bright moon overhead cast an eerie yet beutiful light onto the lake and fields. Son of Oceanus, eh? Just then, the middle of the lake started to boil and a figure rose out of it. The figure started to float towards the shore. I nearly jumped out of my skin.

"Wh-who's there!" I called out in a squeak. The figure was now on the shore and was walking towards me. It was close enough to see that the figure was that of a man. He had a long, black beard, glowing blue eyes, and was wearing grek combat armor and was carrying a huge spear. The man glowed with power. He walked up onto the porch andd stood by me.

"Dad," I said, "good to finally meet you." 

I would join, but uh, ahem, uh... *Small voice* i've never read percy jackson...

Well Wren, that's ok, though u really should read PJO.

But don't feel too bad, because it's probably not a good idea to join by now anyway, since we've already got LOTS of people, and we're so far into the story. 

And btw, Hermione Granger (not the Hermione participating in theis RP), to answer your VERY early question about Ianthe being a daughter of Artemis, well, this is a creative roleplay, where anything can happen, and I reaally wanted a daughter of Artemis, so I bent Artemis's policy a bit.

Artemis just couldn't help herself. 

She's forgotten about Ianthe's dad, though not about Ianthe, if that makes you feel any better.

Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much Will T., for helping us bring back the RP. I applaud you.

St. Owl, please come back to this roleplay. Ianthe needs her BF. Plus Josh misses her....

Ianthe-

****

I took a deep breath as I walked towards Chris. My heart did a little dance. Keep calm. I told myself. Keep cool. Get in, get out. Just be honest. Don't blow it.

"Hi Chris..." I stammered. "IuhjustwantedtotellyouuhthanksforlastnightIeruhIuh...."

Blew it. I was uncalm, uncool, and I was speaking.

Embarrassed, I started to turn away. 

'Wait!" he said.

I looked back at him.

"Yes?"

"I wanted to give you something."

He fiddled around with something in his pockets, then hid it in his hands.

"Close your eyes."

"What?"

"Just do it."

I closed my eyes, feeling a little awkward. What was he going to do?

I felt something around my neck.

"Okay," he said. "You can open your eyes now."

I opened my eyes and looked down. A little gasp slipped out my lips.

Hanging from my neck was a beautiful pendant. It was carefully crafted, made out of the purest gold that shined in the afternoon light. It caught a ray of sun, and for a moment it seemed to light on fire, burning like the fires of Hestia, morphing like a bright shadow (what an irony) and flaming like my passionate love. 

Engraved in it was a single loop. I turned the pendant over, and on the back it read "AETERNITAS", which is Latin for "eternity".

I was speechless with happy surprise, and I actually felt tears start to well in my eyes.

No, I told myself. Pull yourself together. "Chris, this is the most wonderful gift anyone has ever given me. Thank you so much." I paused. "What does it mean?"

"Aeternitas? Oh, that's Latin for 'eternity'."

"I know what the translation for 'aeternitas' is, Chris. I meant what does it mean, mean?"

Chris' bright green eyes swam with confusion for a moment....

gtg need to set table l:x 

Hey, can Chris have BROWN eyes and BROWN hair, not dirty blonde?

I've grown used to visualizing him with darker hair.

You keep going, Owlgirl!

PJO FORVER!!!!!!!!!!

Wooo-hoo! 

And btw, to answer your VERY early question about Ianthe being a daughter of Artemis, well, this is a creative roleplay, where anything can happen, and I really wanted a daughter of Artemis, so I bent artemis's policy a bit.

Artemis just couldnt help herself. 

ok ok....

Ianthe- (continued)

....His chocolate brown eyes swam with confusion. Then he got it.

"Ohhhh...well, I'm not really sure. I added the loop for no particular reason, then realized it looked like an infinity loop, so I added 'eternity' on the back. I was hoping you could create a meaning for yourself, and I could help you somehow...it's complicated in that way...just something sort of sentimental..." he struggled for words. I could tell he was telling only part of the truth. I had a feeling he had created a personal meaning for himself, but I didn't press.

"Once more, thank you so much." I would treasure this pendant for eternity.
"Ianthe!" I heard Winters call my name.

"Coming!" I yelled back, and walked away.
