THE QUEST TO TAKE BACK STOLEN ITEMS

[halfbloodhillmods]

Who: Leo Valdez, Ventus Bradford, Tony Stark, Margot Sullivan, Cosette Fauchelevent and Annabeth Chase
What: Taking back stolen items.
Where: Chicago, IL
When: February 23 - March 2
Why: It's time to perform a little search and rescue.



Camp Half-Blood was broken into by the Gaea-aligned Red Room organization a month ago, in the hubbub of the camp also being invaded by a deadly werewolf pack and monster hunters. Since then, the camp has been locked down - no one leaves, only key people get in. Meanwhile, Chiron and Mr. D have been really putting their heads together, trying to organize a crack-team of campers to go retrieve the items that the Red Room stole, and it's high time they went out on an little rescue mission.

This is what was stolen from Camp Half-Blood by the Red Room:

The books from the Athena cabin
Heather O'Toole's shield
A hammer belonging to Sky Smith
Nicodeme Feuilly's books
Sojourner Ayers-Silva's teddy bear
Derek Hale's sword
Books belonging to Lydia Martin
Annie Cresta's porpoise
Daenerys Targaryen's three young dragons
Dean Winchester's car, a 1967 Chevrolet Impala
Jean Prouvaire's heart

The directors have chosen campers based on their skills and intellect to set out to find the items. In addition, Rachel Elizabeth Dare has issued this prophecy for the group:

In the city of swirling winds
Six campers' quest begins
The building dwarfed by only one
Brings riches untold and lives undone
To see the truth behind the lies
One must look with unburdened eyes

The questers are expected to leave at noon on February 23, and are asked to try and return by March 3. They will be equipped with backpacks containing a small bedroll, two vials each of nectar (one-half of the vial will cure most wounds, a whole vial will cure fatal wounds) and one piece of ambrosia (one half will cure most wounds, a whole piece will cure a fatal wound), mortal first-aid equipment like bandages, matches, a length of rope, and three golden drachmas to facilitate IMs with. They may take their weapons to aid them, as well as any special items they may have on their person at this time.

Good luck.

Making out? I can do making out. [ She laughs brightly, staying close to him to give him a second kiss. ] You are gonna be so well kissed, you won't even know what hit you. [ Which is infinitely a better threat than her first one. ]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ He grins. Yep, this is more like how he wanted to leave camp. ] Is it going to knock my socks off?

[clearasil]

We'll see. [ Which is totally a promise. They've already had their disagreements and the best she can do is be supportive because she knows this means a lot to him. (The Fates know how much she will screw up in the future.) ]

[commandertoolbelt]

I'll take that as a yes. [ He's but waiting for this quest for a while, but gods, he can't wait until they come back. ]

[clearasil]

Is the idea of making out with me going to carry you through the quest?

[commandertoolbelt]

Maybe?

[clearasil]

I guess I'm okay with that.

[commandertoolbelt]

You would prefer it if I think about making out with someone else?

[ He's pretty sure he's got her on that one. ]

[clearasil]

I .... [ Do not wake up the green eyed monster, Leo. Natalie cannot handle jealousy. ]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ He's teasing, Nat, just teasing. See that grin? He doesn't mean a word of it. ]

That's what I thought.

[ One more kiss won't hurt, right? ]

[clearasil]

[ Fiiiiine.

With one more kiss, she gives him a final squeeze, not hiding that bit of melancholy that sneaks into her smile. It's painful, just a little, watching him go like this. At least they're not fighting anymore and that he knows that she's waiting and she still cares. ]
