(I'm ready let's do this)

[Benjamin]

*Blue team*

Greg, eradion, and Sebastian walk into the clearing before the event starts to warm up. Eradion and Sebastian both seemed reluctant. Greg was running in place to warm up as he winded his arms up. “Where’s everyone else?” He asked in excitement.

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((Psst! Lol Dike is on the Red Team.))

[Benjamin]

((Really?! Oops! Lol I guess I only have two characters on this team than))

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((Lol I mean, I don't have any problems with it if one of your guys want to be a turncoat.))

[Benjamin]

((Naaa lol it’s okay. I like Greg and Sebastian only. They’re complete opposites lol.))

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

leon sat on a branch and jumped down and said "what took you guys so long? iv been here for an hour!"

[Benjamin]

Greg looked at Leon as he continued running in place. “Well when I walk by Aphrodite cabin, week the ladies don’t let me leave so fast.” He laughed. Sebastian looked at both of them and walk to a nearby tree before sitting down and putting his chin on his knees.

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

"doesnt matter im your captain today and i have a pretty good strategy for ya" (benjamin, you and stormborn are lieutenants)

[Benjamin]

Blue team*
Greg ran next to Leon and ran in place next to him. “Alright let’s hear it!” Sebastian stayed at his tree not listening to them. ((Ok no problem!))

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

"bear with me ok" he said and began "ok divide into four teams, hunters take the trees setting traps at the creek reaching all they way to the flag and a few planted on tripwires if the flag is removed, one team takes the left side and sneaks around to the left of the fist dividing into two teams one half taking the front, the other half taking the back same thing on the right side but the front would be the diversion while the back gets the flag and of course, they have a hunter with them who would take to the trees while ground teams has a fake flag as back up, if need be we can replan this some, it sounds hard but its possible" leon paused and added "greg you lead the team going to the left and i dont know yet who will take the right"

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

Blue Team
Elana slowly made her way back to the clearing where Brooke was spinning her tomahawks. "The trip wires are all set up," Elana said, making a gesture as if washing her hands. "If I was my half-brother, I would come up with something more inventive than trip wires."

Heather hurried over to the clearing, with her bronze scythe. "Hey," she greeted Brooke. "Sorry I am a little late."

"Don't worry about it. We aren't ready yet," Brooke replied, glancing around. Heather looked over at Elana, who was watching Heather with a smile. A moment of silence fell between the three of them until Elana broke it.

"I'm Elana, by the way," she introduced herself. "Daughter of Hephaestus." She looked over Heather in her battle gear with admiration. "You look ready to go. Gallant and fashionable."

Heather smiled as her cheeks colored a bright pink. "Thanks," she replied with a chuckle. "You are too. I am Heather from Hermes."

[Benjamin]

Blue team*
Greg scratches his head then smiled. “Got it!” Sebastian looked up after being told he’d lead a team. He let out a heavy sigh then put his head back on his knees reluctantly.

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

leon pulled his helmet high so everyone would know he was captain looking at greg he said "no goofing this up got it? this is serious i play to win if you follow the plan accordingly we will suceed"

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

(so we start officially tomorrow around lunchtime?)

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((...I think we talked about this before. Just come online when you are free. You can't control when everyone else decides to join in. Some people are in different time zones. Lunchtime is at a different time for everyone.))

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

(ok my bad sorry)

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

(been super excited and i forget stuff in my exitement)

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((It's okay. Just don't let yourself get carried away.))

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

(agreed)

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

"everyone else get prepared for now sebastion your leading a second grou, both of you grab five other campers and be prepared to run ill stay here with others and help set traps" leon said

[Benjamin]

Greg grabbed his shield and left to round up campers. Sebastian sighed and walked, his shoulders scrunched over dragging his scythe on the ground. He found another tree far to the right and sat and waited for campers to show up.

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

"sebastion gather your team buddy cmon" leon said "or do you want to stay and guard?"

[Benjamin]

He looked up, eyes bright. In a very low, groggy voice he replied. “I’ll guard.” He walked back to the flag and sat down on the floor looking up at the sky.

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

"guess ill take point on main assault" leon said summoning his blades

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

Blue Team
The three girls walked over to Greg. Elana's eyes darted across the clearing until she spotted Leon. "Be back in a sec," she said with a smile. She pecked Brooke on the cheek and then started walking to Leon, waving, "Hey!"

"Hey," Heather addressed Greg. "I am Heather." She offered her hand in introduction. "Is this where we are supposed to meet?"

((Elana and Leon are half-siblings. Maybe they should greet each other.))

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

leon turned around and said "elana? is that you?"

[Benjamin]

Greg grabbed her hand tilted it until her palm was facing the floor and he bowed a bit, right leg over his left. “Hello! I’m Greg! I’m getting campers together to form a squad. If you like, you can ask Leon over there if he’d like you with him or me.” Greg smiled and looked around before he looked back at her. “Or you can Stu and defend with that guy over there. He’s not a big talker.” Then he pointed at Sebastian. “Although, if you want to save time, you can stay here with me.” He did a super hero pose, both arms on his hips, chest puffed out. He was joking........ a little bit.

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

"Yes, hermano," Elana greeted him with a hug. "I set the trip wires like you wanted. You whipping everyone into shape?" She glanced over at the two boys and the girls that had already gathered.

((How old is Leon?))

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

leon smirked and hugged elana

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

"thanks really needed the help, just double check the ones around the flag, including the trip wire" he said (like 17 going on 18)

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

Heather chuckled, amused by his antics. He reminded her of some of the boys back home- well, the nicer ones anyway. "I am better on offense," she replied. "I am quicker on my feet because of my father Hermes.

Brooke placed her hand on her hip and shook her head. "Oh, gods," she said. "She's gay, you *d**t."

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

(who she talking to?)

[Benjamin]

“Never stopped anyone before.” He laughed. He was too cocky for his own good sometimes. “Anyways, in all seriousness, we will probably be the people either distracting or going to get the flag so here is probably a good place to be.” He scratched the back of his head, half flexing. He raised his eyebrows twice really fast at Brooke, messing with her. He liked to joke around himself sometimes. Whether he was half joking or not, well that was a different story.

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

Brooke rolled her eyes at Greg. "Maybe we should go with Leon," said Brooke. "At least, he will take things seriously." She started to walk in Leon's direction, but stopped when she noticed Heather was not following her. "Kansas, are you coming?"

"He is just joking around," replied Heather. "I don't mind. There are a lot of men back home that act this way too. Besides..." She crossed her arms and smirked. "Since when did you start caring so much about Capture the Flag?"

Brooke sighed. "This girl Astrid is on the other team and she is a bad*ss. She bet that we couldn't win."

Heather chuckled. "I might be wrong about this, but I think she is straight. That sounds like a double standard to me."

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

Leon walked over hearing the conversation and said "don't worry, with me as captain we will win I promise"

[Benjamin]

Greg nodded, agreeing with heather. “That does sound like a double standard.” He added just to get under her skin a bit. After Leon came, Greg nodded with him. “You guys also have the wonderful ONLY child of Heracles as a teammate. We can’t lose!” He added playing with his elephant trunk hair.

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((Sorry for not responding to your post, Leon. Elana is 16.))

"Sure, no problem!" replied Elana before running in the direction of the flag.

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

"ok Greg what's your point? You also have to only FIRE USER in this camp on your team" Leon countered and to make a point summoned a flame

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

"You know," said Brooke, turning to the humongous, muscular guy, "I know a guy a lot like you. The jerk was the one who seduced my girlfriend while I was presumed missing. I don't suppose that was you too?"

"Ex-girlfriend," Heather said softly.

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

Leon stepped between and said "guys fight the enemy not each other, you can fight each other after the match

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((Mm, I think Moe has a character who is a fire user.))

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((What happened to everyone else? No one else is here, but the three of us.))

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

(I'm getting ready to go to bed anyways, I'll be on a bit longer but once I stop responding that'll be it for the night)

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((Okay. I should head to bed too. It's late. Lol))

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

(k ttyl)

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((Night.))

[Benjamin]

“Fire, huh?” Greg saw the flames then chuckled. “A man like me needs no fire. I fight with bear hands. My father also, who slayed the great Neamean lion with his bear hands. My father, the greatest Greek hero. As I to, shall follow on his footsteps.” Greg began blabbering until he was interrupted. He then turned to her and laughed. “Well, sweetie, I unintentionally seduce a ton of girls so I need you to be more specific about how she looked.” Greg began flexing. “To be honest though, if she told me the story of you, I doubt I would have even kissed her. I’m not a jerk like that. I just so happen to be dangerously hot.” He looked over at Leon. “Just like his fires.” Greg began laughing before he finally listened to Leon. “Our captain is right though. Let’s save it for the game. Now will I be having the wonderful company of at least one of you ladies or do I need to go looking for other campers?” Greg added before he started walking away to another tree far on the left.

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

"Greg just remember if you mess up you answer to me, now pik some people and get in position" he said and sighed and gathered his people
