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.

*Tony, you get to have the honor of the first hug from Sky. Now that she has two arms to hug with. Given this was your work it seemed appropriate. She spent the morning fine tuning the joints so she didn't need Leo or Tony while they were both gone.*

You seem to be bringing a lot with you! Do quests usually need so much.

[And sudden hug from little sis-bot who has a lot more momentum and strength than anyone her size has any right to]

Oof! [But after he gets a breath he hugs her back]

Hey, I have no idea what to expect, so I'm going with prepared.

Now wait a minute, let's see that thing in action. [he motions to her arm] How's it feel?

[creepyfreezone]

That makes sense.

*She steps back and holds her arm out and goes through a series of movements.*

The weight distribution is different, so I needed to re-calibrate. Your reinforced motors were a little too strong, so I wound them down to match my other arm. At least until you or Leo can adjust my code for the new strength. As for your new toy...

*She held her palm up, the three metal contact plates were all that made the arm asymmetrical to her original arm. Electricity arced between the three plates.*

It seems really neat, I'm still learning how to limit the level of power. But I've added four safeguards to prevent it from accidentally discharging. It's also really pretty!

[He watches her go through the paces, assessing the movements, and frowns when she mentions toning down the power in the arm, but he gets it. He'll just have to improve the other one so she can still have a sense of balance. A wide grin spreads across his face as the electricity arcs in her hand.]

Gorgeous. And powerful, so no trying to use to when shaking hands, alright? [He knows she wouldn't, but he would, so he's warning all the same.]
