DRESS UP THOR

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.

[Say farewell!]

[It's not that far from camp, so everyone was expecting them back in a day or two.

That's never how it works out, though, so naturally they'll be got a full four days]

[They're back!

You should ask for pictures]

[Artemis is feeling pretty well about his preparations for the quest. He's got his cellphone, the funds they might need just in case, some drachma for emergency IM's or just to tell Chiron whether they're going to be late, and back-up plans are running in his head. His pack has a first aid kit, since he's still not totally trusting that consuming nectar and ambrosia won't kill him. The teen feels that he's as ready as he'll possibly be.

Also minus a weapon. Who needs a weapon when you've got Thor as a meat shield?

This kid will be found on his way to meet up with Eiji and Ankh at their agreed rendezvous point. He's not exactly expecting someone to wish him farewell.]

[He's getting someone anyway. Sort of. Tybalt falls into step with him silently]

And how many plan Bs are you coming up with?

[He'll take a Tybalt. He appreciates his humor.]

Dozens. It's not as if we're going up against the security found at Fort Knox. Getting in and out of a prestigious fashion university should prove to be child's play, but I won't take any chances of, shall we say, mythological involvement. So, no definite contingency plans just yet.

Always assume something "mythological" is going to involve itself. That's the fun part about being a godling.

I know Tim Gunn no longer works for Parsons, but I would like an autograph on the off chance that you do see him. [ Natalie, being as relevant as always, appearing out of thin air as one does. ]

What exactly did he dream about, do you know? Was it just like, oh yeah, my godly swag is in Manhattan??

[Eiji was pretty excited and more than itching to get on the road. He wasn't one to stay in one place, and the fact that he'd taken residence anywhere concrete for this long was a miracle. They weren't going very far, but it would still be nice to get out.]

[Also he was pretty excited to learn about the belt and gloves. Finding them and actually seeing that they were real- well. He was a little nervous, but in a good way.]

[He didn't get much sleep the night before, so he's yawning as he waits in their agreed rendezvous place. What he has on him isn't much, it's a small bag with some necessities, his underwear for tomorrow, and a bit of spare change. It was a lot more than he typically traveled with anyway, but he's sure Art would have given him looks for anything less.]

Hey.

[ Allison smiles upon approach, lifting her hand to wave. She knows that the Greeks and Romans have had certain dreams like this - not really prophetic, but messages from other gods. Knowing another Norse kid had one is somewhat of a comfort. ]

You okay?

[Eiji smiles brightly at Allison and waves back.]

Good morning!

[He blinks at her question but then smiles, nodding.]

I am! I didn't get much sleep last night, I'm afraid.

Good. That you're good, I mean. Not because you didn't get a lot of sleep.

[ She shakes her head at herself. Eloquence, Allison. ] I had a dream kind of like yours, before. It was just telling me to return to camp because I will be needed here.

[He quirks a grin, waving dismissively that he understood.] I'm sure I'll wake up on the trail! I got a little too excited last night, I guess.

[That catches his interest, though.]

A dream where it wasn't quite someone telling you as you just felt like you understood what you needed to do?

Yeah, basically.

Skadi is supposed to have clairvoyance. I don't know if that was a sign of powers to come or a message from the gods or - something. I'll keep track of these instances, though. It might be important.

[He nods.] That's much like the dream I had. No one quite told me where I needed to go, but I saw and understood.

I don't know if Thor had any abilities like that though it ...seems unlikely? I'll have to ask Artemis about it later.

Maybe someone is reaching out to us.

[ Allison scratches behind her jaw thoughtfully. ]

It might not be part of Thor's abilities, but it could have something to do with the whole reincarnation process. Some unseen force wants us to regain more of our powers.

Maybe it has something to do with Hera and her gathering of the pantheons.

Maybe- though when she appeared before me, it wasn't a dream and she was very direct. This seems a little more subtle.

[ He crosses his arms in thought.]

Whatever it may be, at least it seems they're trying to help us.

[Naomi has only spoken to Eiji a handful of times since his arrival but she'd seen his message earlier and well...

Quests were scary.

So Naomi sets out looking for him on the day he and the others are suppose to leave. She's rubbing her eyes sleepily as she approaches, yawning.]

Morniiiing. [Wait. Maybe. She doesn't get the chance to say this very often!] Ohayou gozaimasu!

[Rhys wouldn't miss a chance to wish his fellow Norse well on their quest. In approaching Artemis, though, he's half-tempted to just tell him not to fuck Eiji over. He is Loki, after all... but Rhys isn't going to leap to conclusions.]

Good luck. I'm hoping you won't run into trouble, but... here.

[He offers one of his charms, hung on a leather thong.]

This will help if you do.

You're lucky to get a chance like this. Do us proud.

[Rhys smiles. He's not jealous- anything that helps strengthen the Norse is good. He holds out two of his protective charms.]

Here, one for you and one for your other friend going with you. I've already given one to Artemis.

[They may not have talked much but Eiji is already fond of Naomi. Especially since she'd wanted help with her Japanese. He's extra pleased that she decided to greet him in such.]

Ohayou gozaimasu, Naomi-chan!

[! Eiji straightens up a little and offers Rhys something of a polite bow in greeting.]

I'll make sure we bring everyone and everything back to camp safely.

[He blinks at the charm, taking it with immense curiosity.]

Ah-! Thank you, I'm sure they'll come in very handy!

Good. I would hate to see anyone get hurt.

[He nods to the charm.]

If you get into a fight, it will blunt three blows. I'd rather you guys not get stabbed.

[The greeting makes her giggle, covering her mouth with one hand. She was happy he'd agreed to help her with her Japanese. Naomi really wanted to surprise her Daddy when she went home.

Of course, carrying out a conversation is still way above her ability. But one day!]

When're you guys leaving?

Mm, me too. I don't have a lot of faith in our ability to not attract trouble, either. [And yet, knowing that, he still asked Artemis along without a second thought.]

[To the explanation he looks up, impressed.]

And you made these?
