[So if you happen to be outside in any given number of locations today, and just so happen to feel like having the hem of your shirt or some loose-hanging article of clothing on your person set on fire... Ankh is currently tossing little balls of fire at passers-by from a high-up tree branch in sheer antagonistic boredom.]

[Nothing to hurt anyone, naturally, just enough to startle and singe your favorite tee shirt. He does this in varying locations across camp, never staying in one place for particularly long to avoid getting caught. Sorry not sorry.]

Private to Artemis;

I need to ask you something.

Private to Eiji;

Where are you.

And finally, Private to Naomi;

How about you show me your climbing ability?

[The response is muffled and indignant. He just grudgingly chews and swallows the strawberry and scowls at him.]

I was asking because you really didn't answer my other question. It's not like I can answer how similar we might be unless I actually know how the Egyptians work.

[You won't get the basket back then, rude bird.]

But I guess the truth is, what we know about ourselves is pretty minimal. We know that we're ...reincarnations, I guess. That our power comes from whatever God or Goddess we represent. I didn't have to study or practice- I simply came by my abilities.

[He shifts his weight again, folding his paper and tucking it and his pen away again, rocking from the balls of his feet to his heels a time or two. He runs his tongue over his teeth in thought, mouth closed, and tilts his head.]

[A huffed sort of sigh.]

I'm not sure if that makes me more or less inclined to question what the hell she wants with Egyptians, then.

[underwearfortomorrow]

Well...

[And Eiji is giving this serious thought.]

The Red Room is a serious threat. It might be that they don't have Egyptians on their side. All of the known members looked to be demigods- so maybe she things Egyptian magic, being as it's so different, would be an advantage?

[tsunbird]

Seems like a lot of trust to put in someone that can't just call upon the power of a God. [He shifts his weight again.]

...But it would have its advantages, especially if the opposition isn't familiar with Egyptian magic. I wouldn't say it's superior to any other form of magic, but a magician that knows what they're doing... [He flexes the fingers of his right hand, his left curled around his wrist.]

[underwearfortomorrow]

If you're referring to us, I wouldn't go so far to call us Gods just yet. I mean... I think if the two of is were to fight, I don't think I would win. My power lies entirely in that I have a magical belt and that I have a strange subconscious knowledge of how to defend myself. That's all.

[He smiles a bit.]

Besides, given the weight of the situation, we should look to all our resources.

[tsunbird]

[He preens a little at that.] I suppose practice and expertise is a bit more impressive than just adopted powers.

[He shakes his head.] But that's beside the point. Do you know of Annabeth Chase?
