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.

[Truth be told, Lydia had been right earlier on in the day. Courfeyrac as scared as hell. He'd never been on a proper mission, he'd never really given much thought to wielding his weapons or doing anything remotely badass. Not when camp had just been a summer getaway... But now it was a year round thing and shit was going down and he? He was positively useless.

He'd never admit to the sound of those harpies screeching giving him the chills, or scaring him as bad as they did. But between this being real and what had happened earlier that day, he was at a loss of what exactly to do.

How he wished he was an Ares kid or something, so he could just go up to one of the wolves and punch it in the face, curse and spit at it, then walk away. That's something they'd do. Most likely not. But he didn't have the chance to walk up to anything or anyone and punch them or even help others.]

[Enjolras has been working on defenses since the attack started, though a part of him does want to go out there and fight in the fronts.

He's passing by the cabins when he sees Courfeyrac, recalling his earlier iris message about Valentine's Fay and-

And Enjolras opts to let the others handle the defenses for a little while in favor of going to his friend.]

You alright?

[dandylicious]

[Courfeyrac pressed his lips together when Enjolras started heading his way. He really just doesn't want to be a nuisance to anyone else right now, not when all of this was happening. Forcing a tight lipped smile to his face, he nodded.]

Yeah, don't worry about me.

[weneedasign]

[Enjolras finds that hard to believe.]

Right.

[He's half tempted to ask Courfeyrac to join him in checking the defenses, but he has a feeling that might not be the best option at the moment.]

What's wrong?

[dandylicious]

[No... that really wouldn't be the best decision. He sighs and shakes his head.]

It's nothing, E. Not compared to what's really going on. [A pause before he adds, slightly bitter though he tries to conceal it.] After all, there are more important things.

[weneedasign]

Yeah, your right. There are. [Because they were under attack. If that wasn't important Enjolras didn't know what was.

And yet.]

I'd still like to know what's bothering you.

[dandylicious]

[The concern just gets Courfeyrac to stare at him. Seriously, just staring.]

Look, we can talk about it later if it's that important to you. I don't want to distract from the camp's safety with my personal woes.

[weneedasign]

You're my friend, of course it's important to me when you're upset.

[Really, why wouldn't it be?]

But I'll hold you to that. Once things settle, I'd like to know what's bothering you.

[dandylicious]

[.... Ugh. Feelings and emotions. For all he feels and emotes? He's still not the best at talking about them. Or when people feel or emote back at him so sincerely.]

Yeah. Once things are all settled, you'll get the full report and I promise you'll immediately regret it.

[Far as Feuilly is concerned, half of this guarding thing is making sure that nobody's panicking in the meantime, so, when it looks like there's going to be a little more time with no one having to worry, he's moving in the direction of the nervous looking Courfeyrac too.]

Hey. Courfeyrac, right? I've seen your posts and stuff. Uh, you okay? Cause I have to admit, even though I've got a plan for stuff we can do here, I'm a little freaked out.

[Best way to get him talking about this and maybe to relax a little, right?]

[dandylicious]

[Courfeyrac vaguely recognized the guy, one of the Egyptians... Fwee? Fuel...?]

Yeah... Feuilly?

[Please Gods above, he hopes that was right.]

I'm fine... Really, it's no biggie.

[No, he will not admit to being freaked out. Not anytime soon.]

[polishfan]

Yeah, that's me.

[And yeah, he's not buying that, Courfeyrac, Not for a second, really.]

Just...this is all kinds of messed up and we don't have to pretend it's not, you know? I mean, last I heard, things were under control, at least, but...just nothing about this is normal, obviously. But I'm pretty sure it's gonna be okay.

[Maybe some kind of distraction is going to be better used here, instead.]

So, you mentioned Valentines day earlier. I have to admit, I'm wondering it gets as crazy as the mistletoe thing did.

[dandylicious]

[You should buy it. He could make you buy it, you know... He can charmspeak. He just doesn't have the energy to do that right now.]

If we keep telling ourselves it'll be okay, it has to be, right?

[.... Oh the mistletoe, another of his failed yet not so failed plans.]

Yeah, got half the camp pissed off at me for that one too.

[polishfan]

[Well, save that for another time, maybe, Courfeyrac? Or, well, he'd probably not exactly appreciate it, but...]

Something like that, I figure. I mean, if we don't believe it will, it's definitely going to end with somebody doing something drastic and making it not okay.

[Did that even make sense? Maybe?]

It was a weird welcome, I'll give you that, but hey, it was pretty creative, and if only HALF the camp was pissed, then a good portion had to have at least been amused too, right?

[Come on, look on the bright side here.]

[dandylicious]

Maybe a quarter of the camp was amused...

[No, earlier had not made sense... So he just opted not to comment.]

Pretty sure even that quarter is pissed at me for the Valentine's day message earlier. And look? It really was the worst timing ever, really. Werewolves attacking us immediately after.

[polishfan]

Hey, a quarter's still a quarter, right?

It did get people talking. [Yeah, it didn't much to him when it was out of his head either. Not commenting's probably safer in the end.]

Yeah, that WAS pretty bad timing, but hey. I get why you'd want to be distracted from all this. And thinking of nice things IS a way to do that.

[dandylicious]

Thinking of nice things is only a good distraction when other people will think about them with you... Instead of attacking you for thinking it.

[He shrugs, though. He's not really up for having a super deep conversation with a stranger about all of what had happened and his own issues.]

[angeliaforos]

[So after he saw Zane in the camp, after what had been, like, months? There was absolutely only one person he could run to and freak out at. Only one person who was pretty much as close to Jehan as he was.

Invisibly, he taps Courf on the shoulder, his voice a hissing whisper.]

Dude. Guess who I just fucking saw.

[dandylicious]

[Courfeyrac should be used to things like this by now, but the tap on his shoulder did make him jump a little bit. Turning to face Gabe... or where he assumed he was... his brow furrowed as he replied just as quietly:]

What? Who?

[angeliaforos]

[he guessed right. Just follow the sound of his voice, Courfeyrac.]

Yo, okay, you remember that Zane guy? The bag of dicks Jehan was mooning over for like, all summer?

[dandylicious]

[Every annoyance from earlier dissipated the moment that name was said. Of course he remembered, his own fucking brother... But more than that, nope, Gabe hit it on the nose with the explanation...]

Don't tell me that asshole was ballsy enough to show up here...

[angeliaforos]

Bingo.

[He nods a little, then grabs Courfeyrac by the shoulder so he can see Gabriel.]

He's raiding the Athena cabin. Let's go give him something to cry about.

[dandylicious]

[Very few have seen Courfeyrac truly angry before, he's generally pretty good at covering up any unseemly emotions with happiness. But this... he doesn't even need to be told twice.. He's already taking a few steps that way.]

Let's go.

[angeliaforos]

[Gabriel's already holding his prism up to the starlight, switching it into knife-form - though it's harder in this darkness. Yeah, he's ready to shank a bitch.]

You wanna stay undercover or what?

[dandylicious]

Let the bastard see me, it'll give him more reason not to show his face again.

[He cracks his knuckles and glances back at Gabe.]
