Who: The entire camp + special guests.
What: Wolves have broken through the camp barriers!
When: Late Wednesday January 29 into early morning on January 30
Where: Various camp locations.
Why: Some canines think they can show Camp Half-Blood who's boss.

It starts with a scream.

The evening harpies, better known as camp's alert system for kids who are out past curfew, have some news for everyone, flying through the camp and shrieking through cabin doors to wake everyone up if they're asleep. (Unless, of course, you're untrained and too young or incapable of fighting tonight. Demeter cabin will be your place of refuge.) After the first call to duty, campers have risen to the occasion with their various plans and promises, patrolling the border and building weapons specifically for their new enemies. The Full Moon passed with only a few howls, much to the surprise of many.

No, these wolves have other plans for the New Moon. Aligned with Gaea and followers of Lycaron, they're a group of six renegades looking for a show and perhaps a tasty snack. One of them just so happens to be in the business of fussing with the Mist, undoing someone's hard work to let in her comrades.

They've got bared teeth, blood on their nails, and a penchant for chaos. Camp, it's time to wake up.

Nothing. [He manages to keep the disappointment out of his voice. He's pretty sure Hephaistion would judge him.]

I'm sure they'll be held at the border- we'd surely be hearing more fighting if the invasion was large.

['Judge' would be too strong a word, but no news is better than bad news.]

From what few reports I've heard, there aren't many attackers. It seems that most of the camp has gone to face them.

[He glances around, straining to hear anything] Mind if I join you up there for a moment?
unstinting: (oh girl)

It's a big roof and I wouldn't mind the company.

[He slides down to the edge to drop the end of the rope he climbed up down to Hephaistion.]

Yeah, things seem quiet here. Most of the noncombatants are in Demeter Cabin, I think.

[He takes the rope and climbs up quickly, pulling it back up behind him.]

Demeter Cabin has their own personal guard, thank the gods, and a few others keeping watch besides. It's a comfort.

[he breaks from scanning the new view of the camp to glance over at Alcuin] As is having eyes up here. Just in case something happens, something breaks through, if the force is all forward, defense is key.

[Alcuin's smile is weak, but real.] And I'll be able to see things coming from the forest sooner than someone on the ground. Any extra time could mean a lot.

Exactly. [he puts a hand on Alcuin's shoulder, returning the smile briefly] If I recall correctly, you're a pretty good shot. If I'm on the ground, the backup is comforting.

Still, there's no movement this far inward. That's something to be grateful for. [He turns in a circle, eyes sweeping for trouble. He doesn't regret his decision to hang back, but the waiting is difficult.]
