OOC:
IC: He smiled and decided to go big or go home,
'Hey, the names', Marth, and if I could be so bold as to ask your name?'
He asked with a mock bow, hoping she'd laugh at his antics, this was how he made friends and distracted himself from the harsher things he dealt with, however, now he pushed down such dark thoughts.
She chuckled slightly. "My, my, such a bold guy." She teased lightly. "My name's Raven." She said, dipping her head in greeting.
OOC:
IC: He nodded back
" Oh well, I guess I can be quite bold, and what about you? I've never talked much to the Hephaestus cabin kids, in reality I haven't spoken to anyone much..."
He trailed off and he waited, hoping his awkward inability to complete with social norms was affecting her.
OOC:
IC: Marth gave Raven a look of shock that someone would talk to Chiron like that, and when he heard the prophecy his heart rate quickened, he was especially worried about about the one part talking about his father. He quickly bid goodbye to Raven, hoping to see her later and packed the essentials, he stuffed a few drachmas into his pocket, and he picked up his staff, it was a bit taller than him and made of celestial bronze, with that he made out, asking if anyone knew Cassidy, he was directed to the Athena cabin where he waited outside to speak with her and introduce himself. However, he was already thoroughly intimidated by this girl, and talking with her seemed a bit unpleasurable, although, he rationalized, maybe she has good reason to be angry, he just hoped that anger wouldn't be directed at him.
She waved bye to Marth disturbed by the line about fire. And her will stripped bear, for everyone to see. That didn't seem good, and the color visibly drained from her face as she made her way back to her cabin. She packed only the necessitys, strapping her twin daggers around her waist, and tucked her various bladed weapons in their usual places, before making sure she had various tools just incase she needed to do anything in a messenger bag, that most people would've thought to be endless. It's not, she's just learned how to fit various things in there certain ways to maximize room. Once she was done, she walked out of the cabin, having hid all of her creations, and sat on the roof, watching everything from above.
OOC:
IC: Marth squirmed, visibly uncomfortable yet again as he awaited Cassidy outside the cabin, hoping she'd come out soon, the gaze of some of the Athena kids made him feel like he was prey that they were calculating on how to take down. He looked down to avoid eye contact and scuffed the ground with his shoe.
OOC:
IC: Marth waved, hoping a disarming smile would keep the girl from tearing him limb from limb, but she seemed way more in control which set him to a more relaxed state, he introduced himself-
. "Hi, I'm Marth, looks like I'll be taking up arms with you, if you need something I could help if you need anything."
He extended his hand and hoped for the best.

OOC: yeah no prob, I know the feel 
IC:
Raven hummed quietly on the roof, before noticing the girl she had talked to earlier. The girl had a small pouch in her hands, and was looking around frantically. She climbed down and walked up to the little girl, who's eyes brightened at the sight of her. "Hey, Sparrow. What'cha got there?" She asked. The girl quickly jogged up and gave her a fairly decent sized pouch of Drachma's. "Take these. I found them, and thought you would need them more than I would." She explained, and Raven smiled. "Thanks little one. I owe ya'." She said, ruffling her hair. The little girl smiled, and ran back into the cabin. Raven sighed and began walking to the gate. No more time to diddle daddle. It was time to get down to business.
OOC: goodnight got to go really sorry for a abandoning
IC:
Ooc; Night
Raven noticed Cassie, and smiled, though it was halfhearted, and her direction changed and she headed for the forest just to rest for a bit.
Ooc~ Gosh, I'm in a different timezone to all of you's aren't I? Sorry, just returned from school~
The mention of Holly's name evoked a large cheer from the other Aphrodite children. The girl in question even released a high-pitched squeal, clapping her hands together. Holly had returned to the cabin surrounded by her siblings like the center of a perfume-scented tornado. At one point she had been pulled into a bear hug, which quickly turned into a rather suffocating group hug. Some had even managed to let out a few tears, sniffling and daintily wiping their face as they sent her a heartfelt goodbye. While another group sent her playful punches to the shoulder, saying how lucky Holly was and expressing how jealous they were of her. The girl couldn't tell if they were all doing it for the theatrics or actually meant it. She chose to believe the latter; it wasn't everyday an Aphrodite child got chosen for a quest, so it made sense to get a little over dramatic.
Thankfully, once everyone had spoken their piece, they gave Holly a little space and left her in solitude to gather her items for the quest. Now alone to simmer in her thoughts, nervousness threatened to overcome her but she was determined to leave the camp bold and proud- not as a sniveling ball of despair. She had to leave a good impression after all. Holly figured it was best to pack only the essentials, though , after she had done that, she couldn't resist to bring along a hand mirror. She slipped on a few hairties onto her wrist for later use as well. Crouching to grope beneath her bed, she dragged out her sword-belt, the weapon itself tucked in its sheathe. Holly couldn't help but feel like a little child dressing up as a bandit as she put on the belt. In fact, inspired by that thought, she, after digging through her belongings for it, loosely tied a blue bandana around her neck. Hefting her backpack up, she trotted outside, where a few of her siblings still remained. They kept her company as she walked to the pavilion, might as well wait somewhere with decent seats right?
Ooc: I think so. It's midnight where I'm at.
Raven stopped by various places, packing provisions. She wasn't thinking straight at the moment, and she probably wouldn't until they left camp. Once she was sure she had everything, she went to the forest, got a decent ways in, and practiced with her fire, using it as a distraction for herself, creating mesmerizing swirls and periodic shapes.
OOC: Super uber duper sorry! Recap?
OOC: Chiron has just issued the quest and the campers designated to go(us) we leave at sundown and most characters are just getting ready.
IC: Marth walked beside the lake a little befuddled and not to say, a bit hurt at the cold shoulder he received, he assumed that behavior was normal for Athena's offspring. But, he was hoping to get to know people better, he was trying to be more social and outgoing. He found that people were less likely to toss you out if you smiled, rather than brooding and refusing to interact. He sat down at the lakeside and slumped a bit, watching the sun high in the sky.
To be honest, he was anxious to leave, and he should be training, that's what any Ares camper would do, right? But then again, he was an oddball in that cabin. He sighed and looked out on the lake, lost in thought.
OOC:
IC: Marth was nervous.
It wasn't a lie, his mind was in a terrible state of fear, this quest was a bit much and it was unexpected, and especially overwhelming. Finally, he gave up and began to do the only thing he could actually do correctly, Combat practice. He was a child of Ares, what else could he expect beyond the ability to fight well? He didn't really know, but he hoped it was something beyond just that. So, as no one seemed to be watching, he began to softly sing while flowing through the motions he was most recently taught.
