[ Iris Message ]

[oistos]

[ Kate is staring intently into the rainbow, and that intensity is broadcast across Camp Half-Blood, to any who are viewing their Iris Messages at the time. ]

By now you should all be aware that the Hunters will be visiting for Mounukhia. I trust this means our cabin will be prepared by the time we arrive. A few of us shall arrive early, and Thalia and our lady will join before the festival. They are away on important business at the moment.

I hope everyone is ready for Capture the Flag.

[ As she says the last line, her blank stare suddenly fights a smile - and ultimately she is unable to hide her smirk. It's clear she believes the Hunters will win - and for good reason. They've won the last fifty-six times.

She pauses, waiting to see if anyone will respond to her Iris Message. ]

[ Kate's smirk only deepens. ]

Then we look forward to having a challenge... for once.

Good to hear. I'd hate for you guys to get bored.

It is an unfortunate side-effect of traveling in such constant companionship with the goddess that we are often bored by that which challenges most demigods.

You can always join us and cure your boredom, Annabeth.

I can't tell you how many times I've been offered to join, but I have to tell you the same thing I said to Thalia: Thanks, but no thanks. I have this idea about living past my 18th birthday that I'm dying to act out.

[oistos]

To each their own. I look forward to having a worthwhile sparring partner during my time at camp, however. It will be good to see you again, Annabeth.

[promachos]

It'll be good to see you again too, Kate. It's been too long.
