ANNOUNCEMENT & IM

[chiron]

[ You'll find yourself looking at a grave centaur first thing this morning, just before the Romans start their training. ] Campers, I've an important announcement to make. Now, you know very well that we have protective borders around Camp Half-Blood. After last summer's incident, we've taken great care to ensure that we have several lines of defense with both force and Mist.

Followers of Lycaon - wolves - have been spotted just outside of camp. It is believed that they continue to align themselves with Gaea.

There have been no attacks, but I trust that all of you will keep your eyes and ears open for any signs of trouble. No campers will be leaving. [ Have a pointed look for some of you. ] However, we must keep our wits about us. Prepare accordingly. The Athena cabin has necessary information on the followers should you choose to educate yourselves on the matter. I hope you will.

[ The feed ends. ]

[She wishes there was something he could say that would prepare her for all of this, but deep down she knows there isn't.

Brave, brave. She has to be brave. Naomi rubs the heel of her hand to her eye as she listens to him.]

Jehan's got wolfsbane, I think and whoever found all that mistletoe during December could probably get more...

[ Reaching out, he curls his fingers against her shoulders, rubbing at them a little as he does. She's scared, but she's still willing to fight. She's more brave than anyone else could ever ask her to be. ]

Don't let them near you. They're pretty big, but they're also faster than you'd think. If you can use your staff to keep them away from you while doing damage, then please-- but try not to fight them alone.

[If you asked her, that's still not brave enough.

His hands on her shoulders is what makes her look up. She nods, wipes her eyes on her arm and nods again.]

Don't worry I, um, 'm not gonna go looking for them. I'll stay with Jehan or someone! 'nd my bracelet will tell me if 'm in any danger! [She holds up her wrist to show said bracelet.]

[ He offers her a small smile when she looks up again, concern still sitting at the corners of it but something a little proud there, too. ]

Good. Safety in numbers, and your siblings are the best numbers to be with. [ The Demeter cabin is a force to be reckoned with, too. You don't ever doubt the quiet, friendly bunch. ]

Is that what that does?
