((Okay, it looks good... It may be short if you don't have many stops or things you want in the middle.))
((Ummmm... Well, you have to give me the outline. I dunno what else to say. Post what you want and I'll get back to you with a quest later tonight.))
((Yup! Sorry, KC. I didn't see your post! Honestly, though, you need to fill in the blanks. It's your quest! you have to have an idea of what you want or where you want to go. You know you want them to get long life from Hades and get attacked by hounds. But what item does Hades want? What happens when they're getting it? I need some details otherwise I'll be blowing a loose blanket prophecy out with no obscure details. Oracle has to have some fun tidbits.))
((Yup, and send me all the details of everything you want to happen in your quest in chronological order. I give prophecies and I can help a little, but really, you need to come with all your cards. :) ))

Miranda walked in, taking a deep breath. Her hold tightened around her bow. "Hello?" She asked
((Okay. Just post it in spoilers here.))
"Hullo, I'm in here!" Rachel was painting over her whitewashed walls.

((Britain is a bit of a stretch. Give me a chronological list of what happens. Again, you give me the start and give me an end, but I don't get any filling other than throw in some gods and cities. What dangers do they face? Who is for them, who is against them? Do you want anyone to get injured/killed? And who are the participants of the quest?))


((Parents? Okay, so, they fly to vegas/drive/train. They find matches in a baby's crib? What's the significance of this find? And are they teleported by the Graeae to NY? Why not just straight to Ohio for their Ares/Artemis confrontation? IM from Poseidon and Athena who, if enemies, work together to help out these two? Whom do they fight? What happens after they find out where they are, how do they best Hades?))

((Wait, then why do the Graeae tell them New York? Why Ohio? The entrance to the underworld is in Vegas.))

((Pearls? Would these happen to be magical teleportation pearls..? They only served to safely transport the characters in bubbles to the nearest ocean, the Pacific. I don't think we do movie canon here.))
((They go first to Vegas when they find a matches box next to the babies crib of a casino? Then they are told by the Graeae that they are in New York? Then they have to go to Ohio and meet both Ares and Artemis after they have an argument? They could also meet Poseidon and Athena who tell them the twins are with Hades, and they fight against some of his people to get them back?))
((That was your first post. I think the casino cigarette packs should be at/near camp, near the crime seen, so they can know which general direction to head. Maybe this time they're on their way to Vegas because of the prophecy, then they get to Athena and Poseidon. (They help them how, anyways? Just give them the specifics of where the twins are, right? And what's the point of the Ares/Artemis meeting?) After they meet the gods, then they get to Vegas and the underworld, then battle some minions and attempt to free their pals.))

Stolen flesh, stolen life,
Is restored with bloody strife.
Meet the gods who sparred for Athens;
Learn their fate in darkest chasms;
Race as lifeblood seeps away;
Who shall remain another day?
Death takes strength where power dies;
So upturned skulls face hopeless skies.

((KC, I'm going to write you up a prophecy. It may be a tad vague because I don't know what Hades wants her to fetch.))

The hounds of death, eyes of red,
Hunt the flesh that is soon dead,
The dreams that haunt will end with death,
Unless heroes save the hell-god's chest,
Return what once was to that which is,
Return to Hades what is rightfully his.
A gift from death is life, indeed,
Unless you fail to preform his deed.

The room was filled with a ghostly aura as the temperature dove to freezing. Rachel's hair floated in the air, like she was underwater, and green mist seeped from every pore.
"Theft of Zeus's lovely child
Ghosts of evil, malice wild,
Stolen girl in darkest hell,
Kingly wrath, her life unwell,
Find the girl and spare her strife,
Or else the child will lose her life."
Rachel sank back, sighing, into her chair.

Rachel sank back, sighing, into her chair.
a new girl with turquoise hair popped in and said, "hi, are you rachel? anyway i was hoping you could give me a tip cuzzzz... my critics aren't mixing properly.' makes a sour face and sits on the floor.
"Your... critics?" Rachel said, looking up, dead-eyed from her laptop. She was obviously on a study binge, hair frazzled, several empty plates and mugs around her. Her eyes had distinct bags under them.

"i ment to say acrylics, sorry." she said playing with a ring that looked like a python with legs
"i ment to say acrylics, sorry." she said playing with a ring that looked like a python with legs
"Acrylics mix perfectly well," Rachel said, "They blend nicely. You are blending them before you actually put them on the canvas, aren't you?" she checked, frowning to herself. Acrylics were simple paints to use, and it wasn't often that she had a visitor who didn't want a quest.
"You are right... maybe its just the hermes cabin..." she said, playing with another apollo themed piece of jewelry, hoping no one thought, "man, that gal neva' run's out of dat jewelry"
"Hermes cabin? What's that got to do with anything?" she wondered, getting a little more comfortable.
"In the, 12 hours 6 minuets, and 73 seconds i've been here, i've heard they're jokers." she said, hoping she might actually find someone she doesn't hate.
"Only half a day?" she checked, raising her eyebrows. "They're thieves, pranksters, but fun crowd, all around," she pointed out, leaning back.


"I'm not sure who else to talk to about this, but I think you might know what to do: Earlier this morning I was on border patrol, and I saw a whole pack of Hellhounds race away from Thalia's Tree. Maybe 15 of them, total."
Fletcher hurried ahead, speaking very quickly before Rachel assumed he was just scared of a couple Hellhounds. "This isn't the first time I've seen monsters around Camp. There's usually a couple monsters around, but I've started to notice a surplus of them all the time. And every time I get near them or see them, they run away from the border, as if they are trying to get through when no one's looking."
Fletcher rubbed the back of his head. He felt like he was scrounging for excuses to go on a quest... Which, in fact, was not far from the truth. He had been itching to go an a quest for years now, and he was hoping that the excess of monsters would be a good reason to go on one. Maybe he could find out where they were all coming from and why they were trying to enter his Camp.
"We've had an inflow of half-bloods since Percy Jackson got the gods to cough up their kids. If this is new, have you tried taking it to Chiron?" she checked, biting her lip as she tried to mix the perfect lip color.

He winced at his own reasons. Yup. Rachel was probably thinking he was scrounging for excuses. But it was serious stuff. He wasn't imagining the surplus of monsters checking out their borders.
Well... If it was excused by the doors of death, that was just something that could be solved by a few excursions outside the border with some platoons, just to kick some monster butt. "Why don't you ask Chiron if you can take some demigods out to clear the paths to camp? It's hardly godly-quest material, but if you're itching for action, I'm sure he'll allow it." She seemed to be drawing a screaming child, fleeing in fear.
