Word 06 - Open to Action - November 1st, late morning

[Sadie's been busy this last week or so. There were, apparently, Things Isis had finally chosen to tell her, which had meant she, Carter, Amos, and the others had to do some emergency scrying chats to figure out just what it meant and then Sadie had to get Carter's permission to tell the camp.

So, after breakfast, Sadie starts a camp-wide IM. She looks somewhat formal,, dressed nicely in her magician's gear (which more or less look like pjs, though Sadie's look a little less pj-like because it's Sadie) with all the charms and necklaces and she's taken to wearing. Her stripe is still black from last night.]


Hullo. For those who don't know me, I'm Sadie Kane, a magician. My brother is Carter Kane, aka the Pharaoh and [airquotes] "king" of the lot of us. There's only two of us magicians here right now, but there might be more. That's not the point, though. A while back, Carter and Percy ran into something called a petsuchos. That's a giant crocodile demigod, more or less, son of Sobek, nasty little thing that nobody wants running around. Turns out it was just a regular crocodile that had been given an amulet, but the problem was that one, no one knew how the crocodile got the amulet and two, Egyptians and Greeks? Not supposed to mix. We're not even allowed to spend too much time in Manhattan. The reason for that is basically Order, capital "O". Order is good and what magicians who haven't gone crazy fight for. Mixing all these godlings? That'd normally cause Chaos. Chaos is very, very bad if it starts to outweigh Order. The world needs both, but we spent a year fighting off the embodiment of it so. You know. We like to keep things Orderly.

However, with Gaia waking up and the...Rag-na-rok? [She waves a hand] Whatever it is that caused the Norse gods to get sent to the bodies of teenagers. Because of those two things, there has been a huge wave of Chaos across the globe and nomes--that's our version of camps, three hundred and sixty of them including one in Antarctica--nomes everywhere are collapsing and magicians are either being sent here or to Heliopolis for protection. I came here with no clue as to what I was supposed to here. Isis only recently decided that, oh right, Sadie and Carter should probably know this sort of thing.

[Eyeroll]

The reason we're being sent here now is to keep an eye out for demons and whatnot that may break out of the Duat because of this Chaos, track down any rogue magicians who still hate us for, you know, saving the world, and to help restore Order. Carter's given me permission to answer questions as best I can, though no promises I'll be able to. Things are generally kept rather hush-hush. Thanks for listening.

[And cut. She's outside the Big House if people want to talk to her in person]
clearasil: (( wanderer ))

So, it's like a common thing for gods to keep important information from everyone. Good to know, that's another bonding point among pantheons.

[ Approaching, Natalie has her hands in the pockets of her knit sweater, hood up with her curls poking out. ]

You look comfy in your formal wear. I guess you'd better be comfy when the world's going to shit and you've gotta save it again. [ She shrugs. ]
clearasil: (( happiness ? ))

[ Khufu took some getting used to, but he was definitely worth it after seeing how he reacted to Stiles when he came back. Ha. Natalie frees a hand to wave at them both.

She snorts softly.
] Well, yeah. It's pretty mild in Long Island, I think? Better here than, like, Vermont. Or anywhere in Canada.

So, uh, what's with these rogue magicians?
clearasil: (( invisible girl ))

[personal profile] clearasil 2013-11-01 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ And probably the worst in rainy London or Seattle. Natalie drops the linen conversation though, because this is a little more interesting.

She drops onto a step outside the Big House and pulls her knees to her chest, looking thoughtful.
]

Why did they ban the use of gods?
clearasil: (( everything else ))

[personal profile] clearasil 2013-11-01 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. [ She's stopped being surprised by the alterations to history as taught by mortal educators internationally. ] I mean, I guess that's - well, I mean, the fall has to do with a lot of factors as it usually does with huge empires and stuff, but I imagine that's huge.
clearasil: (( wary ))

[personal profile] clearasil 2013-11-01 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
So, basically you and Carter started from scratch and now you're here and your brother's, like, the pharaoh. I guess that means there's some hope for the Norse kids here who have no idea what they're even doing.
clearasil: (( excited ))

[personal profile] clearasil 2013-11-01 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Is there a way for you to, like, reach other magicians? You know, similar to how we send people or satyrs into the world to collect other demigods?
clearasil: (( a father ))

[personal profile] clearasil 2013-11-01 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Picturing her dad performing any kind of magic is laughable. But then again, picturing her dad with the goddess of Mist and magic at all is still totally weird. ]

Okay, yeah. I think I have a better understanding of how it goes down. [ She nods to herself. ] Uh, blood of the pharaoh and all of that.
clearasil: (( camper ))

[personal profile] clearasil 2013-11-01 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Hey, Natalie's an untested genius under all the pop culture drivel and romantic ineptitude. She'll be able to piece it together and read up on the rules and history on her own. ]

I guess I'm surprised that you didn't grow up learning about this kind of thing, though kids tend to get caught up in godly business from, like, the age of eleven and up.
clearasil: (( judging ))

[personal profile] clearasil 2013-11-01 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
But, hey, you both came out on top, it looks like.
clearasil: (( just smile ))

[personal profile] clearasil 2013-11-01 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Natalie chuckles in response though there's something else pulling at her thoughts. ]

So with this talk of, like, establishing a new city - haven't decided if that's a good idea yet, though - do you have the stuff you need to work the magic in camp?
clearasil: (( uncertainties ))

[personal profile] clearasil 2013-11-02 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
I meant like -- special devices. Yeah, like a portal base. How do you go about getting one? Like, can we help build it or do you need to import a base?
clearasil: (( crystalline clear ))

[personal profile] clearasil 2013-11-02 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
... That would be an awesome addition to camp, and, like, the East Coast in general. I'm sure if you talked to Annabeth about it, or maybe my boyfriend can help out there too. [ This is actually the first time she's said 'my boyfriend' out loud. She grins stupidly. ]
clearasil: (( maybe ))

[personal profile] clearasil 2013-11-02 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Uh.

[ She scratches the back of her neck, pulling the hood off her head. Hahaha girl talk? ]

Leo and I sorta came to an agreement on his birthday.
