Line 01 - Open to Action

You know, I’d almost forgotten how much I dislike the East Coast.

[The feed opens up on a fairly “punk” looking teenaged boy with a light (way lighter than Sadie’s) English accent. He looks about as bored as you can look without being a slab of redwood. He has several Egyptian charms on his wrists.]

San Francisco may have its fog and weird weather patterns, but at least it isn’t so…crowded. It smells better, too.

[Well, at least it smells better than Brooklyn. The camp, actually, is pretty nice. Not that he’s going to admit it, however]

Moving on. My name is Tybalt, I’m on the Path of Bast, and if anyone needs me, check a roof. Please, don’t need me.

[And cut the feed]

You know, I found not announcing my presence over the rainbow helped a lot in allowing me to fly under the radar.

I'd rather the camp know I'm here than be nearly shot for being a suspicious guy in dark clothing.

You mean like most of the residents of the Hecate Cabin?

[Sorry, Natalie, it's kinda true.]

"Suspicious".

Well, I'll make sure not to shoot you. Just don't wander in front of the targets.

Oh, but where's the fun in playing it safe.

So... just to be clear, you don't want to be shot under false assumptions, but you're all right with being shot by accident.

No, I just see no point in being bored.

I guess blood loss is pretty fun.

You should be careful up there!

[It's clear Naomi missed the "Please, don't need me" part of the message. She's standing by the Hermes cabin, cupping her hands around her mouth so her voice will carry.]

[Gods below. Tybalt rolls over to glare at the girl]

Can I help you?

Nooooo?

[Naomi blinks, confused.]

I was just sayin' you should be careful. It wouldn't be fun to fall off the roof by accident!

I've jumped from higher roofs than this and landed perfectly fine. Thank you for your concern, but I assure you it isn't needed.

... Wait really?

[If he was planning to get rid of her, that wasn't the best thing to say. Now Naomi's curious.]

'nd you didn't get hurt? How come?

Because one, my reflexes are more cat than man, two, if you do something enough times you become good at it and three, I'm simply that good.

So are you like... A cat-boy?

[Because if your reflexes are like a cat...

... Naomi's logic is strange, but it makes sense in her mind.]

Why would you jump from someplace high a buncha times?

...yes, let's go with that. My chosen Path makes me something of a cat-boy, sure.

[Augh]

For fun, why else?

[On a roof, you say? Clearly this is a challenge and one that Margot happily accepts.

Not that she's the most stealthy and you can probably hear her clamoring up the side of the Hermes Cabin, but look. She's doing this whole tactician sneak attack thing, play along.

Or don't, whatever.

But this is happening and darnit, she's going to try so hard.]

[Seriously? Tybalt pulls out the twine he keeps in his pocket and as soon as Margot's visible, he tosses it at her.]

Tas.

[She is now bound and thankfully landing on the roof, not the ground]

Cute.

[Aw shit.

She tries to duck -- valiantly -- but being half on the roof, half off makes that kind of difficult.

The twine is super effective!

She rolls herself to her feet, glaring.]

Magic is cheating.

You're the one who decided to attempt to harass a magician.

I was trying to harass you. I was just going to rough you up a little. Big difference.

I am seventeen, nearly six feet tall, a magician, and one on the Path of Bast, Ra's eye and warrior. You're...tiny and lack any sort of magic. Why on earth would you think that attempting--and it was an attempt--to "rough me up" would end any way but with you losing miserably?

[The grin she gives him is unapologetic. If she can just reach her bronze knuckles, she can get free...] 'Cause it's Camp tradition, mess with the new guy.

'Sides, I've fought bigger. You're like, puny in comparison to some of the monsters out there.

[Good luck with that. She's bound pretty tightly]

Perhaps, but that doesn't mean you'd win against me.
