[ Someone's looking like a megababe, stomping across camp in a slinky, studded black dress and pumps. Each time she tries to tie her hair, it tumbles out perfectly in bouncy chestnut curls.

The look on her face basically says GTFO but it's well-intentioned. (You don't want her to open her mouth.) How many times is she going to be humiliated on behalf of Aphrodite? This is pure and utter baloney.

There goes red carpet Natalie Goodman on her way to to the archery range. Someone can't perform magic and she is p i s s e d. ]

Dude, I have no idea. I woke up and she took away my pajamas. She took away my necklace.

[ And she's pretty sure Leo is avoiding her and everyone in her actual cabin seemed to afraid to say anything when she changed into sandals from the tall black pumps Aphrodite gave her. There was no sign of her real clothes. ]

I did, uh, manage to make my hair less big and my makeup less intense.

Why in the world would she take your necklace?

[Is it something to do with fashion? He's never going to understand Aphrodite.]

You do look nice, different but nice? I can grab one of my hoodies if you want it though.

[Because he can only imagine how uncomfortable the dress is.]

Don't trouble yourself, but thanks. [ She sighs. ] I'll wait out the spell. I did manage to make this a long sleeved dress, 'cause it was a lot more revealing.

[ Her neck feels bare and she doesn't like it, lightly touching her collar where the cord should be. ] She probably thinks it's ugly. And it has no use to me right now.

I don't think I'll ever understand Aphrodite...

[He frowns.]

This spell won't last forever, she'll have to return it.

[ Natalie switches her bow to the other arm, resting her free hand on her hip, fingers curled into a first. ]

Do you want to test her resolve, Enjolras? 'Cause there'll be a lot of people who will be upset. Like, I get why you did what you did and I'm in this stupid dress because I believe in it but - there are other ways of getting around this. She wants to talk to you first, I'm pretty sure of that.

[worldabouttodawn]

I'm well aware how upset people are already.

[He's already spoken to the others, not everyone's been too happy.]

I never said I would test her resolve. [As tempting as it was.] I merely said this spell won't last forever. She wants to speak with me, and I'm going to try to explain just what our intentions were.
