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.

And you're still trying to tell me that missing a year isn't working out in your favor.

[ a year, or longer. audrey doesn't know yet. she's been here a month and a half, okay. ]

Okay, so we've got time. Let's use it. [ said sternly, as though there surely have to be some things to be taken care of. and wandering around in the woods isn't the smartest way to do things, invisible or not. but then again, audrey's not the one with the experience here. ]

Okay, fine.

[There's a little snort.]

In that respect, I guess it is.

[But to be honest, Gabriel doesn't really know what to do when he's not sneaking around pulling poor saps to safety in a combat situation. Yeah, he's trained, but only with a dagger, nothing long range. He sighs.]

Are you good with a bow and arrow?

[ she looks up with him, the tiniest hint of a smirk on her face. ]

I can be.

[ meaning that no, she's never used one in her life, but if it gets her into the action and gets her experience and a way to be impressive - if it gets her attention, she will make an attempt. ]

Then- c'mon.

[He grabs her by the wrist, obscuring them from sight, to go towards the armory.]

Maybe you can knock a few of them down from up high.

What - hey! [ she attempts to wrench her wrist free, but whether she's successful is questionable. either way, she trudges along after him, because really. it's either this, or wander around in the pitch black. alone. with wolves.

audrey knows which choice to take. ]

It's easy, right, you just pull the string?

[It's good that she's smart like that. A lot of people would fight against being taken invisible pretty much without even asking. Gabriel could keep her around.]

I think there might be aiming involved, too.

Funny.

[ she scowls at him. it's not. ]

I can manage.
