DRESS UP THOR

[halfbloodhillmods]

Who: Eiji, Artemis, and Ankh
What: Eiji had a dream. His gloves and belt are somewhere in America, and he needs those if he's to wield Mjolnir at some point
When: April 10th-April 14th
Where: Well, it'll end at Parsons (a fashion design school)
Why: People need their stuff.

Chiron was a little unsure about this "quest"--there had been no prophecy and their Oracle couldn't actually offer one. Perhaps it had something to do with the dream coming to Eiji himself. Either way, the only help Rachel could offer was clarification of where, exactly, they would be off to. They would find the gauntlets and belt at Parsons Fashion Design School on 5th Avenue in downtown New York City.

It's with little fanfare the Eiji and his companions head off, though people are still invited to see them off and welcome them home when they return.

[Artemis shrugs at Eiji's remark. It's possible they could've, but that's besides the point.]

It is a bargain I'm willing to make in this instance. Call it a trial of faith.

[He's not too concerned about whether Ankh will decide to be kind to them or not. Strategies and counter-strategies are Artemis' specialty.]

This is either going to turn into a scouting mission for today or a successful acquiring of what we came here for. It depends on where the items are located, and whether it will be prudent to take them in the middle of the day. Either way, it makes more sense for Ankh to do his part first before Eiji and I head inside.

[It's true. Eiji was a little concerned, though so far he hadn't any reason to suspect foul play of Ankh. The worst red flag he'd received was his caginess with his abilities. Though, Eiji was sure he could wheedle that out of him in time.]

[If they didn't find out the hard way.]

Besides I have a hard time believing you would dupe us this early on. You'd wait until we had the belt sight at least, yeah?

[While the boys had been talking, Argus had just been driving along, his multiple eyes watching them and the road and everything.

Which is the only reason Argus managed to pull the van over when it started smoking before things got too messy, what with the smoke and all. Without a word (he didn't speak much), Argus got out of the car to start looking under the hood. Dammit]

[Fuck you both with a cactus, okay? He's totally mysterious and evil and you shouldn't trust him or think he's nice even for a moment because he's not. Scary bird is scary. Screech. Etcetera.]

[Of course, all he does in light of their words is bristle and grumble under his breath, shifting in his seat to stare out the window and ignore them some more-- until Argus (weird looking, wasn't he?) pulled the van over to examine its innards.]

[He tsks, climbing out of the van as well.]

We're on some kind of a time limit here, aren't we?

[fowlisfair]

[Artemis sighs. Of course something like this happens. Hopefully, this isn't a sign....]

Not particularly. If we're going to be late, I've got enough drachma and a prism to send a message to camp.

[underwearfortomorrow]

[Well, that's unfortunate, though Eiji is pretty glad to get out of the van. He slides out after Ankh stretching his arms and legs, and then he looks over at Argus with some concern.]

Do you need help?

[Someone get this boy on task.]

[halfbloodhillmods]

[Argus shakes his head, waving down the road. They're not actually far from a bus that'll take them into the city, so they can get going on their own. He's got this. They have a quest to get to.

[tsunbird]

[Another tsk.]

Given the age and the general look of the thing, I doubt this is the first time this has happened. He probably knows how to handle it.

[He's directing that at Eiji, though he's too busy rolling his eyes at him to actually look at him.]
