Clearing - Capture the Flag - April 2020

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

Brooke followed Greg to his tree, clearly not thinking the conversation was over. "Her name was Kendra," she retorted. Heather patted Brooke's arm, trying to calm her down and glanced over at Leon. "I will try to keep them civil."

Leon nodded and waited to his team

“There’s been a lot of Kendra’s, I doubt I seduced your Kendra. We like different types of people.” Greg added. He figured he’d poke fun since it was just them three. He decided to try to move on to see if she would or not. If she didn’t, well, that was fine for him to. It would be entertaining. “What are YOU good at? The same thing as your girlfriend?” He asked wondering if they were the same people. Most people in relationships liked to do the same things but some were yin and yang. Maybe one was offensive and one was defensive.

((yo i couldnt pick a team and plus it seems as though the turnout is kinda lacking so i'm just doing both, also my characters are in the enemies territory do with that what you will))

Red Team

Rhys and Mack snuck into the blue team territory, trying to work out what was going on. Mack had her sword concealed, but as always, was ready to pull it out whenever necessary. She didn't go anywhere without it. Rhys had decided he couldn't be bothered carrying his sword, and that if anyone tried to attack, he'd just reflect the sun into their eyes and sneak off.

Blue Team
((Ooh, ouch. He doesn't remember Kendra? Lol I should be insulted.))

"You impudent b*st*rd!" Brooke exclaimed. "You would remember her. She has the voice and hands of a musician, the legs and height of an athlete, and the gentle touch of a healer."

"She isn't my girlfriend," Brooke and Heather retorted at the same time. They both glanced at each other. After a brief pause, Brooke replied, "I am a fox shape-shifter. I don't really usually play these games, but why not be on the offensive?"

((Excuse the language.))

[Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki]

leon felt something wasnt right and noticed two campers from red team poking around and confronted them saying "you know you arent allowed over here until the game starts so get out of our territory now!" and shot a bolt of fire in front of them making them go the other way

[beth, Daughter of Aphrodite]

Rhys jumped as someone saw him and Mack, running in the opposite direction to avoid the fire being thrown at them.

[Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki]

leon chased them back across the border and said "learn to follow the rules next time"

[Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki]

(sound the horn when your ready!)

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((Maybe we should wait for Ben or other people to show up? I feel like if we start now, it's Leon, Thomas and me against me. I have other characters on Red Team, but I only chose to use two of them. About half of Red Team is Ben.))

Peter walked into the clearing, "So, this is it then? I was late and ran into a random place." He said laughing.

[Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki]

"pretty much buddy, pretty much" he said with a chuckle

Peter looked at him, "Man, I hope there are more Poseidon kids ready to play. Cause I can't hold that wall for long!"

[Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki]

"Percy should be along here after while" Leon said with a grin an added "with him on our team helping to put my plan into action there is no way we will lose!"

[[deleted user]]

Peter smiled, "Who's Percy?"

[Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki]

"head counselor of Poseidon cabin and strongest demigod here and savior of Olympus, Percy Jackson, your half brother" Leon said

[[deleted user]]

Peter nodded his head, "He doesn't sound important at all..."

[Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki]

"you wish" he joked

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((Lol Then, we better get you approved as Percy then, huh?))

[[deleted user]]

Peter sat down on a log, "Then I guess we need to wait for this Percy"

[Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki]

(yep, been waiting on you since like, forever ago lol)

[Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki]

"yep" Leon said

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((Sorry. Lol Kind of seems a little sad to bring in Percy now. We practically have no Red Team. Lol))

[Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki]

(so no Percy?😭)

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((I posted, I posted. Lol))

[Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki]

(yay!)

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((I have the busiest mod shift.))

[Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki]

(if I were a mod I would help and it seems like you need it since it looks like your the only one here now)

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((Yeah, I am during most of the hours that most of our members tend to be active. Beth and crunchylemon live on the other side of the world. Moderating might be a little easier after a couple months of doing this. It might just feel overwhelming because we are cleaning up and trying to bring in more members with events like this. This is also the first CTF game we have had in a long time- as just members and as moderators.))

[Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki]

(agreed, maybe you can talk to the other mods about me joining yall since I live in Tennessee and I have insomnia I'm normally up till three unless I'm lucky then it's around two)

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((I have talked with one of them about it, but we agreed to wait and see how everything goes for a little while longer. I know I would appreciate the help. I will let you know if we do decide to take on another mod.))

[Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki]

(sounds good to me)

[Benjamin]

((He remembers. Just poking at her for fun lol.))

Greg remembered the Kendra she was speaking of. The description made it quite clear to him who it was. He decided to pretend he didn’t know who she was, though. He didn’t need his back stabbed during the game.

“You’re not girlfriends?” Greg scratched his head in confusion. “Well whatever you guys are, if you need help during the event, just get behind me. I fight with my hands so I’ll probably be knocking people out with some punches but I also have a big shield so I can protect you guys.” Greg looked around before coming up close to them. “If anyone has, oh i don’t know, Fire for example, it’s coming right off this shield.” Greg added whispering to them. He then began to laugh. He had hoped if they were in trouble they’d call him for help. He is a conceited boy that likes to push people’s buttons but when it comes to stuff like this, he becomes a whole different animal.

Peter looked at him and held out a hand, "Peter, son of Poseidon"

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((Lol))

"No," the two girls said at the same time. They looked at each other again. "I mean, there was a time when I may have liked you..." Brooke uneasily admitted to Heather, "but that didn't last for very long." Heather chuckled and responded with an "Oh, really?" "But that was before I realized what a mess you were. Also, there is no way you are blonde. Blondes are bad*ss or fun."

Heather burst into laughter. Then, she stopped as a thought occurred to her. "But I think Elana is her girlfriend," she said, a little disappointed. "I saw the peck she gave you. She is more than just a fling, isn't she?"

Brooke sighed. "She is just a friend," she replied. "If you want to go out with her, ask her. She is a free agent. She sees other people too." Then, she gave Greg a look. "I don't need you to protect me, Muscles. I can look out for myself."

[Benjamin]

“Uh huh sure. Seems like you got it all figured out huh?” Greg said mockingly. “The woman who hates the man says she does not need his help. She then goes down hard in battle. Smoke in the air. She can’t see anything. She knows she can not die but feels close to death. Her vision is becoming blurred then... oh my! She is lifted into the air and ran out of that forsaken place! Taken to a healer! She feels so much better! Who is her hero? The one man she dispised, now the man she admires!” Greg said in a poetic narrators voice. “Make sure you get that because when it happens you have to tell that story to everyone.” Greg smiled as he played with his hair again.

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

Heather looked even more upset by Brooke's response. She made a point never to become involved with people who were a free market. She was so lost in thought that she did not notice right away what was happening between her friend and the arrogant son of Heracles. "You insolent fool. Do you see this?" Brooke asked, raising one of her axes. "I think I can take of myself."

Right, then Heather snapped to her senses. "Brooke," she forced her to lower the weapon. "Save the fighting for the other team."

((ok here...no idea what going on. i will falow u leon))

[Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki]

(just read and catch up for rn)

[Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki]

leon stepped over and said "everything ok girls?"

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((Stormborn, isn't your character a child of Ares? Ares is on the Red Team.))

[Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki]

(thought he was blue team)

[[deleted user]]

((yup. sorry bye))

[Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki]

(lol its my bad)

[[deleted user]]

((Sorry man. i can make a caricter for blue but i don't think it would be allowed here till the next one))

[Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki]

(its cool buddy dont worry bout it)

[[deleted user]]

Peter messed with a stick, waiting for his half brother to show up. Can he not just be a little bit on time?

[Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki]

Leon nudged him and said "hey try not to worry Percy is usually late so this is normal"

[[deleted user]]

Peter looked at him, "I was late too. But I doubt he has a reason. He is probably playing pingpong with a friend."

[Zestial-Morde&Echo-genderfluid-child-of-loki]

"heh maybe never know" he said
