For the first time in forever [open!]

[ordinaire]

Who: Anna and you!
What: Anna's arrival- turns out she's a demigod! Who knew?
When: Monday, January 13, night
Where: Woods
Why: holy guacamole, who knew running away from home could be so dangerous!? And where's my sister?

Anna stumbled into the forest, starting at every little sound. Ever since she lost track of that goat guy (satyr, he'd corrected her), she was paranoid of monsters or something ridiculous. Little did she know that she had good reason. The goat man had assured her there was a camp ahead, somewhere she'd be safe and more than likely find her sister.

Tripping over her own two feet some stray twigs, seriously watch out for those pesky things!, she scrambled back up and continued ahead... If goat guy was right, the camp should be not too far away. The young heiress kept a tight grip on her backpack with one hand and anxiously tugged her coat closer to her with her other.

Another sound. "Ah-- Hey? Hello, anyone out there?"

No one's out there, Anna. You sound like a lunatic, expecting monsters or harmless bunny rabbits to answer your questions.

Adjusting her backpack on her shoulder, she's ready to follow the crazy girl when she hears that. And, well, it kind of stops her in her tracks. "Thanks..."

Anna bites down on her lip and sighs a little. "Wolves are pretty freaky, so I really appreciate the help finding the place easier and maybe getting answers. Hopefully getting answers..." A pause. "Definitely getting answers, I mean."

[notworthless]

"Keep moving." And this is why Callie is never nice, people get all sappy and forget they aren't actually somewhere safe.

"These wolves used to be human, and can only be killed with silver. So 'freaky' is the right word for it," Callie extended her spear again to help keep the path clear enough for the both of them. She figured this girl wasn't much for the outdoors. "I'm Callie, I'd prove the whole Demigod thing, but my powers don't work that way. You'll get your answers, they might not be fore the questions you care about."

"Right!"

She quickly picked up her pace again, shoving her hands in her pockets, and followed the girl further. Explaining what those wolves were, it all sounded really strange. Like from a movie or book or something and she didn't know that she could trust it all. "I'm Anna... um, it's okay? I guess as long as I get some answers..."

[notworthless]

"So... what happened?" Callie figured answers would help give this girl her answers, "Most of us don't find out about our parents until someone dies or something gets destroyed and everyone blames you for it."

Callie was trying to keep an eye on the other girl, but she was also making sure that no werewolves managed to cross the barrier. Her free hand was resting on that knife she was borrowing from the mortal. She was at least taking the direct approach to camp. Sooner she didn't have a... 'princess' to protect, sooner she could go back to her patrol. "You seem awfully sure you want these answers. You sure you want to know?"

Anna looked down and bit her lip. She didn't want to think about it at all, but she felt like she needed to answer her questions. Besides, she had brought up the people dying bit, and it was impossible to not think about it that way. Chewing a little on her lip, she thought it over a bit. "Elsa ran away a few days ago..."

She guesses. It's hard to say when you never see your sister... "Our parents... went on vacation a few weeks ago..." she trailed off and clenched her eyes shut, stopping where she was. When she spoke up again, it was soft and not easily heard. "They never came back."

[notworthless]

Callie didn't need to hear what she said, she got the gist, it wasn't too far different from her story, just she was in the car with her mom when... not the point right now. No lingering in thoughts like that, not when there's more to do. ...Soft Greek children.

"Look, I've... been there, a long time ago. But your answers are waiting in camp, and you're unarmed and things are bad enough we've been forbidden from sneaking off camp grounds for our safety." As opposed to before, where it was because... they forbade it because the rules here were arbitrary. "If your sister is out there, we can find her. She's probably on her way here if she knows anything. And the goatleg patrol is out there to make sure we get here safely."

Not that she was going to lay on her personal feelings on how safe this place was, the way the Greeks handled things, the way the security was set up, the housing and... well, everything. Not going to help to be that honest yet, but she had to understand that this wasn't where you cry.
