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.

[Someone doesn't look too pleased. Reyna is positively seething right now.]

They're mine. Which means you're temporarily the daughter of Rome's War Goddess.

[anythingwithstrings]

*She's right there with you.*

I'm Maya. I'd give this all back to you if I could.

...whatever all you can do is. I'm still figuring it out.

[toobitter]

Reyna. Praetor of the Roman Legion.

[Because she might be stuck with these stupid powers right now, but she was not going to let this girl take over that.]

You'll master any weapon you pick up... Which wouldn't be so bad if you are able to keep the knowledge after this is fixed. Use it to your advantage.

[anythingwithstrings]

I guess I should spend some of today at the armory then, or find out whose me and get back Rythmόs. But I have the odd feeling it won't work that way.

I mean, do you remember how to use all those weapons without your godly powers? Because I can tell I've lost some of my musical knack.

[toobitter]

I.... [She frowns a little.] The only thing I can think of is my pugio...

It wouldn't hurt to try, at least. My dogs, by the way, are essentially lie detectors.

[anythingwithstrings]

...There are certainly people who should stay away from me while I can use any weapon I can get my hands on. But yeah, wouldn't hurt to try.

Especially since I've lost the one thing I have left that means anything to me!

*Did you say... lie detectors?* Although... that might come in handy, I need the record set straight on a few things. Maybe this does have something like a silver lining.

[worldabouttodawn]

If I knew how to fix this I would.

[Okay. He knows how to fix this, but he's far too stubborn to apologize to Hera.]

Those are Reyna's dogs.

[anythingwithstrings]

She's told me.

Also that I'm now capable with any weapon I find, which I plan to take advantage of.

...You should probably avoid me for the rest of the day.

[worldabouttodawn]

Don't go around hurting anyone.

[Curse or not - Enjolras is still a counselor and technically her older brother.]

... Right. I'll talk to you once this whole thing is settled.

[anythingwithstrings]

Not anyone, just you.

*She's not misplacing her anger that much. There's only two people and one God she's really pissed at. Lucky you Enjolras.*

I just plan to work out my anger on training dummies and try to learn something from all this.

[ospreyed]

Morning to you too, sunshine. [Eponine practically has a halo.] So the cat has your tongue, and you've got the dogs.

If you want to destroy something, I have a sugguestion. I'm thinking of using these powers for good. And leading a crusade to get Enjolras to fix this shit.

[anythingwithstrings]

Wouldn't that name fit you better right now? *Maya isn't the daughter off the sun in this conversation.*

Pass. Even if I'm not my usual sunny self, doesn't mean I don't hate you and your little games any less.

[ospreyed]

Cute, New Girl. But your disposition is way brighter than mine.

I'm offering you my help in making Enjolras pay. But fine. If you want on your own, far better for me. I work better on my own anyway and I've got a date to give him a piece of my mind.

So you hate me? Wow, I wasn't expecting that so quickly.

[anythingwithstrings]

I figured it was what you wanted, you worked really hard at it and I aim to please.

So go off and handle things on your own.

[ospreyed]

No, it comes naturally. Glad you're thinking so greatly of me, though. If I'm worth your hatred, I clearly occupy your mind a lot. [She gives her a wink, just to mess with her.]

I plan on it.

[anythingwithstrings]

Only when I'm really bored. See usually I'd just focus on my studies, but since I have someone else's skills- Now you get some attention.

*She smiles sweetly, because she knows when someone's messing with her.*

[ospreyed]

Still nice to know I cross your mind.

You don't cross mine at all.

[Eponine out.]

[lastplaceigo]

Guess that'll show you guys...

[Aw but look! She's not laughing at you, Maya. There's that.]

You doing okay?

[anythingwithstrings]

I had no idea it was a big deal, I was only in on this cause one of my half-siblings was in charge of this mess.

*She clearly needs to think through her going along with anything Enjolras comes up with.*

This is the first time I haven't played my cello since I was five. I'm just peachy.

[lastplaceigo]

Sometimes it's better to just, you know, ignore your siblings.

[Though she would have completely done the same thing if it were her and a sibling from Cabin Five.]

...You wanna go punch something? It helps me.

[anythingwithstrings]

And if I had been here longer than a few days, I might have.

*Probably not, but she'd consider it. Especially after this little event.*

I'm trying to figure out who woke up as me, so I can get my sword and practice with it. See how much of this 'weapon skill' stuff I can hold onto if this ever gets fixed.

[lastplaceigo]

Well you ever want a sparring partner...

And look, I'm sure this'll sort itself out soon. I can't imagine anyone else up there standing for this for very long or anything.

[anythingwithstrings]

If this power is stable... I might take you up on that.

*She needs to see exactly what she can do with Reyna's powers. Probably something cool as she's got that fancy title.*

I mean, I can't imagine switching our heritage is something easy, or... simple to do or undo.

[lastplaceigo]

Neat. [Translation for: AW YEAH MORE PEOPLE TO BUTT KICK WITH. Or maim on accident. Whichever comes first.]

Probably not, no... Seriously, though, we'll figure something out. Can't sit around doing nothing about it, yeah?

[anythingwithstrings]

If it works.

I think my former half-brother is suppose to fix this. Based on that stupid dream and it being his protest.

[lastplaceigo]

You should go kick his ass, then. Just saying.

[anythingwithstrings]

I don't know who he ended up as. Plus if I hurt him too much he might not be able to fix this.

And when he fixes this he'll be my councilor and older half-brother again.

Plus, after he fixes this I can just use this to get him to cut me some slack a few times.

[lastplaceigo]

Blood is thicker than water, blah, blah, blah.

Meaning he'll probably forgive you if you do it, but whatever. Though holding it over his head is good...
