Who's Strong and Brave Here to Save the American Way?

[halfbloodhillmods]

Who: Steve Rogers, Annabeth Chase, an NPC demigod...and a surprise
What: Going to get the demigod Tybalt and Dave heard about in Saratoga Springs.
Where: Northern New York
When: May 14-15th
Why: Because Captain America

For once, this quest doesn't have an official prophecy telling the questors to go. This time, it's mostly a warning.

Where the cat and red-eyed one had gone
To save this child they need brains, then brawn.
Siblings two shall go forth
And one shall come into his worth.

But mind the dangers in the Springs
For there shall be one to pull the strings
Of others that are still unknown
And one who will one day atone.

Cheerful little ditty, isn't it?

They had planned to send Annabeth anyway, but the prophecy mentioned siblings so Chiron (reluctantly) told Steve that he was going to get to go on this quest as Edmund was too new. There's no big to-do over this one, though there's still a chance to tell the two good-bye.

Are you sure about that? If anyone would do it, everyone would be heroes.

[She can't help but smile faintly.]

A lot of people are going to be taking you in, impressed with the new shiny you. I don't want to crowd you, but sometimes dealing with a transformation - a makeover, if you will - can be a lot harder then people realize, especially if you weren't expecting it. If you need to talk, you're welcome to snag me any time. Okay?

[thestarspangledman]

[He looks a little uncertain at that, but nods.]

I just -- well, if it was my dad suddenly payin' attention to my best friend after seventy years instead of me; I guess I can see why a guy might be a little ...disappointed, I s'pose.

[thestarspangledman]

I guess I did. I didn't do much.

[wintersergeant]

Yeah, an' if I am it ain't your fault. Not like you asked for it.

[thestarspangledman]

I didn't, it just -- [He shrugs, and sighs a little.]

I'm sorry, anyway, if it helps?

[thestarspangledman]

[He gives her a slightly sheepish little wave and a smile.] I'm back.

[wintersergeant]

Don't apologize, Steve. I'm happy for ya, really.

[He is a bit bitter, though. He can't help it, and he really isn't mad at Steve for this]

[thestarspangledman]

I'd like to think they would, but I might be wrong.

Thanks, Lydia. I might. I dunno, this is all....really new.

[brat_king]

[He gives Steve a look.]

Didn't do much, and yet you look like you could wrestle a bear.

[thestarspangledman]

Well, thanks. [There's a tiny smile. He doesn't blame Bucky for being bitter, not at all, he might do the same if he were in Bucky's shoes.]

...Oh! That shield turned out just fine, in case you were wonderin'.

[wintersergeant]

Does it bounce?

[making_good]

I.

[Pardon Elphie. She's just trying to compose herself because it will probably be offputting if she drools. She lifts a hand and reaches out like she's going to touch him, then seems to notice and quickly snatches it back.]

[It takes her a second of just blinking, but she eventually comes up with words to say.] So. No more wheezing, huh?

[cavalrys]

[By this point, Hazel has been standing to the side, worrying her hands. finally, it seems, it's her turn. And she's supposed to kiss him. But... Steve.]

Hi.

You look... Holy moley.

[excusing]

Hey! What did you eat on the way back? { She laughs, clapping him on the back. ] Because this sure isn't an Aphrodite blessing.

[always_right]

{Welcome back to Cabin Six, Annabeth and Steve, somehow Stiles missed meeting you guys officially before you set out. So have a long-limbed stranger having half taken over the cabin with stacks of Norse books and translations, as well as a web of copied information and colorful strings and hilightings taking up the entirely of multiple boards. He doesn't even notice his returning roommates he's so nose-deep in a book.}

[thestarspangledman]

I, uh, yeah. It's -- real strange to get used to.

[thestarspangledman]

....Well, I prob'ly inhaled a good amount of smoke, but I don't think that's what you meant.

[thestarspangledman]

It does if I want it to.

[thestarspangledman]

All I did was get a kid out of his house. [That was on fire. Yeah.]

[thestarspangledman]

[He just shifts a bit awkwardly, trying not to turn too red.]

Yeah, I guess not.

[thestarspangledman]

[Well, it's a little difficult to not notice the giant hunk of manmeat who is walking about like an awkward baby giraffe, so that book must be really something. He clears his throat when he sees Stiles, half-stumbling as he hits the doorjamb, and raises his eyebrows a bit.]

Hello?

[wintersergeant]

You're gonna have to show me sometime after shootin' lessons.

Meet the new NPC

[redclover]

[So Captain America suddenly buff Steve isn't all that's been brought back to camp - though in the hullabaloo of the former the thirteen year old that had entered with the two blondes might go unnoticed.

Shea was following behind the two of them, looking around the camp with wide eyes. It hadn't been easy to convince his Da in the end, but they'd managed. Biting his lip he turns to look at Steve but he seems to be mobbed by girls and Annabeth is busy talking to friends.

He looks down, takes a deep breath, and then goes to try and figure out which cabin he's suppose to leave his stuff at. And then? Then he's finding a cool shield, just like Steve's.]

[southernreaper]

[Okay, Kevin is just going to shout not fair in the puberty department and leave Steve to be mobbed by the girls. He manages to slither through the crowd a bit and finds the new kid brought in by Steve and Annabeth.]

Hey, m'name's Kevin. Wanna get a bit further away from here? I can explain a few things.

[thestarspangledman]

[Once Steve has managed to escape the girls and spoken to Bucky, figured some things out, he glances around and spots Shea, heading over somewhat guiltily.] Hey, c'mere, Shea.
