[Let's set things straight: Eponine proudly believes she's not afraid of anything. However, when your Scary, Known Criminal, Abusive and Alcoholic Father shows up in your dreams yelling at you? Let's just say that Eponine is a little unnerved. Unnerved, irritated, and confused.

She appears on the rainbow, looking a little pale and as grouchy as ever.] Good morning, fellow campers! I hope you all had a great sleep last night. I certainly didn't, and I'm pretty sure that I wasn't alone.

Normally, I get back to my cabin, crawl into my bed, and pass out at the end of the day. I wake up, I get dressed, I go to breakfast. I don't wake up in cold sweats in a cabin that isn't mine, only to realize that, oh, hey, when I get outside, I can effectively turn down the sun for myself.

Gabriel, I think I have your powers. And your mom.

Which explains this message. Normally, I don't do public speaking.

This would be extremely useful if I still had my old powers. But. [She points at the camera, but her words are lost, having caught sight of her own hand. Her eyes widen and she mutters fuck. Gritting her teeth, she continues] But apparently, they even took my ring. [While she normally wears a good amount of jewelry, particularly rings, there's one in particular that she never takes off. A small silver ring with a mounted grey stone.]

This ring happens to be extremely important to me, and I would appreciate it back. If you're listening to this, Enjolras, we need to chat one-on-one.

SITUATION POST: JULY 24, 2013 (RETRIBUTION FOR THE BARRICADE)

[greekchorus]

[Oh, campers. Did you really think the gods were going to let you get away with breaking their rules so easily?

Furthermore, did you think one particular goddess of family would? Hera strives to keep perfect families perfect, and has a penchant for boxing people together in small groups.

In your dreams last night, you'll be having some strange visions. The room will be dark, and out of nowhere, a person will appear - it's your mother or a close parental figure, a caregiver. Even if your 'mother' is your godly parent, this person will be the one who raised you as their child before coming to camp.

The voice you hear, though, isn't the one you're used to - it's sterner, more forboding, as if the person commands attention.]

Rules are rules, and rules are not meant to be broken. Did you believe you wouldn't catch my attention? I've got eyes in the back of my head, you know.

[The figure leans forward, obscuring their face, and when they come back up, your caregiver is gone. It's an older woman, stern-faced, with dark brown hair braided with golden ribbons. Her eyes are full of power, and as she moves towards you, her dress flows like oil on water.]

You wanted to see what it would be like to be from a different family? Fine. Have it your way - but be warned, this change will not be easy or fun.

[Hera vanishes, and with the end of the dream, she curses each camper that was sitting in the middle of the tables. One by one, you'll wake up from your dreams in a cold sweat, only to find that the bed you were sleeping in last night is not the one you have today. What's worse, all your abilities that you've been training with for so long at camp are gone, replaced by ones unfamiliar and quite unstable.

How can one right this wrong? Start at the root of the problem.

OOC INFORMATION ABOUT THIS EVENT CAN BE FOUND HERE. Please play this situation out in separate IM posts!]

[Romans, this is your Praetor as you've never seen her before. Perfect make up, perfect hair and some kind of charm to her that isn't usually there. Despite this all, she's positively seething as she inspects the toga she can't seem to get rid of or the change of her her SPQR tattoo.]

Daughter of Venus?

[Of all the Gods, honestly.]

This is unacceptable. The sooner we return to our respective parents, the better.

First Song: (IM / Action in Cabin 6)

[anythingwithstrings]

*New Girl, aka Maya Matlin, who was trying to earn herself the new name of Guitar Girl as it was a bit more on the nose for who she is? She does not look happy. Like, of all the things that could happen to her, waking up here was the worst thing. Because this isn't her bunk, these aren't her clothes, this isn't her stuff.*

*And these aren't her dogs.*

So... who do Aurum and Argentum belong to. Why do I know there names, and what else did I get out of this trade. Because I can't sing, so I want something to convince my former half-brother to fix this!

And I really hope it's something good. And violent. Because I am in a Bad. Mood.

Petal 02 - IM - one to Dany, one to Enjolras

[Dany]

[Jehan looks so distraught right now it isn't funny. He's somewhere near the ocean, obviously trying to hide from everyone]

I have your dragons. And, um. Everything else. I think they're looking for you? But I'm not sure.

[Enjolras, in French]

[He's still distraught when he sends an IM to Enjolras]

Enjolras, please fix this. Send an IM to Hera or something and figure out how to fix this. I know Hera totally misunderstood the protest but that's Hera and we all know that's just how she is but this isn't fair, Enjolras. I want my powers back and Maman back.

IM [TWO]

[fivefootfierce]

[Karrin looks annoyed.]

Okay, seriously? I'm not even part of EITHER of the pantheons of that woman! How is this even fair?

[Karrin rakes her hands through her hair and lets out a sigh. She knew she hadn't liked Hera before, but this was somehow making her like her even less. That on top of taking the appearance of her mom? Yeah, Karrin looks a little upset to say the least.]

Look, I'm clearly not alone in this. So, whatever, can we please get this sorted out? I was just getting used to the idea of my other powers. I don't need to try to get used to a new set as well.

[She bites her lip and then adds.]

Also, if I start bursting into song like some whacked out Disney musical, I ask that you please forgive me.

[This is Courfeyrac. This is Courfeyrac looking kind of under the weather and totally pouting at the IM. He holds his finger up and frowns, well, a bit more if that were possible.]

That ring I woke up with? It bit me.

Is this normal, guys?

[Yeah, that finger is definitely turning purple and he looks like he could be running a fever.]
