farmville is a real place

[halfbloodhillmods]

Who: Gale Hawthorne, Elizabeth Comstock, Elsa Arendelle, John Egbert
What: Information retrieval and investigation after tracking Markel's Iris Message to camp.
Where: Farmville, VA
When: June 7-9
Why: It's about time we try to one-up the Red Room.

They almost sent the group sans prophecy, as times are tense, but their trusty Oracle had brought forth another one, short and sweet.

Bubble, bubble, toil and troubles
The blighted one shall toy with doubles.
Seek truth in the lodge revamped
Close the punctured hole in camp.

Chiron has provided the questers with the location, and the standard backpacks of supplies, just in case. There is, after all, no such thing as a simple quest when it comes to Camp Half-Blood. There are also various modes of transportation he can offer, but he will leave that up to the group to choose their preferred method. It is no easy task, gathering information on an elusive group of evil demigods, but this is a reliable team.

[John is hanging out on the roof of Cabin 1 for most of the morning. He had a small back with a few necessities, but he knew he could get by on almost nothing if he had to, so he wasn't worried. He was better off this time going to Virginia, then he had leaving it the last time.]

[He tried to ask himself how he felt about that, but really all he could think of was "man, I sure want to punch Markel in the face" and decided that he was pretty okay with this quest. Besides, it beat standing around and his info might actually help them.]

He was hanging around so that he could leave with his other cabin mate, Elsa. He'd already received a going away present from Eiji, who was ...odd but definitely well meaning. Besides, who else could brag about getting underwear from Thor?]

[He'll either be on the roof or waiting to head off with the others, with his bag on his shoulders and his hammer strapped to his belt.]

[John is probably there when Elsa freezes the first dress she touches. She bites her lip and carefully puts it out in the sun for it to thaw and dry. Hopefully she didn't ruin it....]

[thewindything]

[Yep. He was just finishing up with his own packing when he catches her little flub.]

You doing okay over there, Elsa?

[castleofice]

[She tries for a reassuring smile.]

Yes, just...nervous. It's my first quest, and the first time I've left camp since I arrived here months ago.

[thewindything]

[He offers her a doofy smile.]

Understandable. But hey, you won't be alone! You've got a whole gaggle of us that'll have your back, so don't worry too much.

[castleofice]

[Elsa sighs softly.]

I suppose you're right. I only hope that I don't prove to be a burden upon the rest of you.

[She picks out a second dress, and thankfully this one doesn't freeze. The moment it's in the bag, she puts on her gloves.]

[thewindything]

Nah.

[And he seems to sincerely believe that.]

But, hey. I did want to ask you what you thought of trying to combine our powers. If we get into a really rough spot, that is.

[Dave catches him up on the roof, pulling himself up beside him and huffing out a breath as he settles down, arms braced over his knees.]

You sure about this, bro? [He looks over to John, one eyebrow lifting slightly.]

I mean, of all the fuckin' quests you could decide to go on.

[thewindything]

[He looks over at Dave curiously before his huffs a sigh.]

That's kind of why I have to go, though. I can help them find the place.

[wordtechgodhood]

Yeah...

[He frowns, rubbing one hand up his arm.]

Just come back this time, yeah? I don't think the Hecate cabin roof can take another hit like that.

[thewindything]

[John nudges at him.]

I'll make sure to aim for yours this time.

[There's a vine creeping up the side of Cabin One, a vine that leads to a mop of brown hair peeking over the edge. Naomi's stomach had done so many somersaults when she heard John would be leaving for this quest that she hadn't bothered to even eat breakfast.

She can't get the memory of John lying in a heap of rubble after crashing through the Hecate roof out of her head.

Naomi had thought he was dead.]

Can I come up?

[thewindything]

[John sees that sneaking vine and mop of hair. He grins, raising an eyebrow.]
