Calling all Demigods! discussion

Olive moaned, sighing. "Why are there bastards like that in this world?"

Jace shrugged with a smirk. "To punish us, I guess."

"I didn't do anything!" Olive moaned, but she laughed after that.

He grinned. "We've all done some bad thing kn our lives."

Olive tilted her head and winced. "Well...fine." She said, but couldn't help smirking.

Jace grinned an leaned back on his horse.

"Why did he whip you, anyway?" She asked.

"I wasn't thinking and made a few witty comments, you?"

"Cos I bonked him across the head with the butt of my sword. Why? He was picking on you." She replied.

"Aw, thanks," he said with a smirk.

"Don't take it personally, I don't want to be known as a nice person." She said.

"Whaf cabin are you, then?"

"Alexiares. He's one of the twins of Hebe, he guards Olympus and he's the 'warder of war' or 'unconquerable'" She said.

"Oh fun."

Rose walked down the hiking trail, not wanting to ride a horse. She'd come from her cabin, after drinking one more glass if wine and making herself look presenstable. She walked with her arms crossed, the warm wind lifting her hair slightly, and she smiled.

((WINE.))

Gunpowder shot out over the cliff-- laughing, Ajax slid off the steely grey mare, landing softly with his usual Converse.

((oh my gods. I spelled it wrong AGAIN? godsdamnit.))
Rose whirled around as she heard Gunpowder fly over the cliff. She smiled when she saw Ajax, but her heart dud something that she couldn't stand. It skipped a couple beats. Knock it off! She thought angrily, but kept her smile.

((It's a horse. Gunpowder is his pegasus. xD))

"Oh!" Ajax stumbled upon seeing Rose, nearly falling off the cliff, but kept his balance. "Dear gods, Rose, I thought I was alone," he said with a nervous laugh. "What's doing?"

((LOL Fo Shizzel, FAILORIZE...but I did it too. XD))

Rose laughed, but pressed her lips together. "I'm sorry, Ajax." She said sincerely. That's the second person I've given a heart attack to. She thought with a small shake of her head. "Um...nothing much since your last visit. Caspar ditched me." Sge smiled half-heartedly.
((oh. FAIL. *edit*))

"Ah," Ajax said with a faint nod, hiding his uncomfortability with a grin.

Rose looked at the ground. "So...what have you been up to?" If it involved his loving girlfriend, she didn't think she wanted to know.

((Too bad, Rose. xD))

"Not much. Dumped Holly in the water today, had a nice laugh," Ajax said, eyes lighting up at the memory. He winked at Rose, a mischevious smile brightning his brooding features. "She hates the water."
Except when I'm kissing her in it.

Rose snickered, shaking her head. "You're such a monster," she teased him. Of course, she didn't mean it.

"Oh, I know," Ajax said triumphantly.

She rolled her eyes, and playfully pushed his shoulder. "It's like you wake up in the morning and ask yourself what you can do to torture your girlfriend." She told him, smiling widely. She tried acting the way she woukd before all the drama, but it just wasn't the same. It depressed her to no end.

"I do," Ajax said, black light dancing in his eyes. "I torture Holly all the time. Secretly thoough," he said, leaning in and whispering, "she loves it."

Rose smiled, the first real smile in a while. "I'm sure she does." She said with a low giggle, letting him stay close to her for a few moments. She stared into his eyes, her own swarming with amusement.

With a swallow, Ajax stepped back, feeling very, very, very uncomfortable and awkward indeed. She still had feelings for him. He sighed inwardly-- he of all people knew how terrible unrequited love was.

Rose bit her lip as she realised she'd become sucked into his dark eyes. Again. "Er...sorry." She said, scratching the back of her head and smiling at him.

"It's fine," Ajax said with a forced smile, hopping back on to Gunpowder. "Well... nice seeing you, Rose."
With that, the pegasus dove in a swooping motion off the cliff, Ajax leaning forward on her back, heading straight for the wide blue waters of the sea.

"Bye..." she murmered, leaning against a tree and closing her eyes. Congrats, Rose. You sure know how to f*ck up talking to him. Every single time you seem to scare him away.

Eric was hiking on the trail, having no idea where it led. He woukd have loved to ride a horse, but his arm was covered in plaster, and he wasn't ready to ride horses just yet.

Always the rebel, Cori was back on Madine, side-straddling the pure white mare. She spotted Eric and smiled before leading the horse towards him.

Eric turned around, and grinned when he saw purple hair bobbing on a familiar white horse. He walked up to the horse, and leaned against her. "Hey, Retro." He said, using his nickname for her.

"Hey there," she countered with a grin. "How're ya doing?"

"Eh. Pretty good. Arms been a pain. Literally. How's your leg?" He asked, gently touching her hand.

"Just peachy," she replied with a grin.

"Good. I see that it's not stopping you from much," he said eith a dissaproving look directed at her. He pat the horse, abd sighed,

"Nope. I don't follow the rules."

"I figured that," he said with a lop-sided smile.

Cori grinned and patted Madine behind her. "Care to ride?"

Eric grinned at her. "Sure," he said, hopping up on the horse. He wrapped his good arm around her.

She leaned forward slightly and brought Madine to a canter. "So, what've you been doing all day?"

"Not a lot, really. Tried fighting with my good arm. Didn't work like I wanted," he replied, laying his head on her shoulder. "What about you? Your life is much more interesting."

"Nothing. Absolutely nothing."

"Really? I find that hard to believe." He said, burying his face in her hair. He was starting to really enjoy the scent of grapes.

She grinned. "Well believe it."

"Fine. I believe it." He said, wrapping his casted arm around her. "How'd you get up here with your leg?" He asked, pressing his head against hers.

"I.... Hopped?"
