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.

[Steve's her friend, and she's always had a great deal of respect for Annabeth, so of course she's going to wish them well. Her fellow counselor first.]


Good luck, Annabeth. Steve couldn't have a better quest-mate to accompany him.


[And of course Steve, who gets a hug and a friendly kiss to his cheek if he doesn't seem inclined to refuse.]

You're going to do great. If things look rocky [LBR, these things always get rocky] just trust Annabeth...and your gut. Athena's kids have great intuition. [She beams at him.]

[ Annabeth gives a modest salute though her smile is anything but. ]

We'll be just fine. I've been doing this for years. Mostly, I'm glad I get to be the one to show my brother the ropes.

[lefthandedgenius]

I know. [Seriously, Lydia's got nothing but admiration for the apple of Athena's eye.] He's a sweet guy. I have no doubt you'll take good care of him.

[quester]

He is sweet, but I can tell that there's a real toughness to him that will make him a good quester. [ She hasn't known him for very long, but Annabeth is incredibly fond of Steve. She admires him for working hard in spite of his weaknesses. ]

[lefthandedgenius]

[Lydia nods her agreement.] The ones who have to prove the most always work the hardest. [She knows a little something about that. There's a certain expectation about Aphrodite cabin and knowing little more than how to use makeup and how to have an ideal tanning experience.]

[quester]

[ Annabeth has changed her tune regarding the love cabin. They all seem to be taking Silena's example to heart. ] With fulfilling payoff, most of the time. I'm kinda excited for him.

[--Man, all the girls are determined to make him blush as much as he can today, aren't they. He is quite possibly going even pinker than he had when Hazel kissed him, and answering in a sort of stammer.]

I, uh, hope so.

[lefthandedgenius]

I know so. You'll be great. I'll see you when you get back, okay? All the luck. Though you won't need it, because between you and Annabeth, you'll be just fine. [She has 100% faith in both of them.]

[thestarspangledman]

Yeah. It's gonna be fine. [He's trying to sound self-confident. Hopefully it's working.] Me n' Annabeth can take care of it.
