Nine Gusts [IM] or [Action]

In case anyone actually forgot, the Red Room is still full of assholes.

[The IM today is being brought to you by the camp's only current son of Jupiter. John is sitting on the roof, having reclaimed his tent and possessions, and set up camp on the roof again.]

But they still suck at keeping prisoners. If anyone was wondering where I've been for the last two months, there's your answer.

Sorry about cabin 20's roof, if you guys still need help fixing that, let me know. Chiron says I'm healed enough to be useful again.

Also ... anyone in the Legion. Does anyone have any details about where Jason or Ven went? I know they left to go do cohort things, but. I dunno. An update would be nice. Or ...something. It's weird being the only Jupiter kid on this roof. Thanks.

[He frowns at that, and then raises a hand as if to end the IM but stops and gets a sour look on his face.]

If any of you see Dave, tell him to stop. Whatever it is he might be thinking- just stop. Do you hear me Dave?! I don't care what today is, if you do something I will find you!

[And then he ends the IM]

[Hey it's that kid]

Why d'you wanna stop Dave from doin' something? An' you do realize that you just egged him on, yeah?

Probably. Honestly, I don't think I could stop him either way. It's sort of a Thing.

What kinda thing?

[You're going to make him say it aren't you. John sighs loudly.]

Today's my birthday.

[Eponine wasn't paying attention, to be honest, at least until he mentioned Dave. Then, she's all ears.]

What is Dave about to do? [There's fire in her eyes as she looks at John through the rainbow. There's a strange note in her voice, almost... panic, somewhere under her fury.] If my boyfriend is about to do something stupid, I need to know. Right now.

[Blinking rapidly.]

Whoa, whoa, calm down. It's nothing like that! Uh, it's my birthday. We usually try to one-up each other for these kinds of shenanigans and I know I pulled a doozy on him for his.

Also boyfriend. That is news I did not have, when did that happen?

Edited 2014-04-13 22:09 (UTC)

Oh. Next time, don't fucking freak a girl out like that.

[She settles a little bit. Good. She was going to kill someone if Dave was in trouble.]

Ah... Four months ago? I don't know- I don't keep track of shit like that. [January 7th, actually. And yes, she does know.]

Joooooohn!

[The shout comes from the ground, Naomi staring up at the roof with one hand on her hip and the other holding out her newly made portable swear jar.

The Red Room may - in fact - be assholes, but that's still a bad word!

Also, excuse you did she just hear mention of a birthday? Prepare for punches!]

[What is that in your hands. Why does it fill him with an unexplainable dread.]

What?

[Peering down at her from the roof, arms on his knees and with a crooked smile.]

[That's a good feeling to feel in regards to it. A very good feeling.]

Can I come up?

[Not that she'll take no for an answer but-

She's missed visiting the roof.]

Hey, it's the birthday boy.

[Can't stop, won't stop, never gonna stop.]

Nope.

I hope you're prepared. Is your body ready, Egbert.

[ Heather is standing in front of the windy cabin, hands cupped around her mouth. ]

BIRTHDAY BOY. Don't you dare hide today. I've also got a few answers to some of your questions!

[A sigh but a smile.]

If I wanted to hide, I wouldn't be sitting on the roof of my cabin, you know!

[Answers is also a good thing, though. He leaps off and uses the wind to cushion his descent, landing on the ground in front of her.]

Yeah, but that doesn't make you easier to get to!

[ She's still happy to see him float on down to her and she bounces on her heels. ]

Okay, to start, Jason and Ven went off to figure out some Third Cohort stuff. I. Hope they're okay. [ She purses her lips from side to side briefly. ]

Holy- Zeus, kid. That's where you were?

[His eyes narrow.]

What'd they do to you? And...what's Dave planning?

[Dave is Eponine's boyfriend, Gabriel is her best friend. He wants to make sure whatever it is won't bring her any more frustration than she already has here.]

Where did you think I was?

[Seriously.]

I really don't want to talk about it, if that's cool.

[And he sighs at the mention of Dave.]

He's going to be a horse's ass because today's my birthday.

In an impala being force fed smoothies, remember?

[But he sighs a little. Normally he'd press, but - being a good counselor means helping the regular campers, too. Even if they're Legion and not his Greek kids.]

Literally a horse's ass or figuratively?

[Sup, John. Have a Centurion.]

Jason...I don't know about, but I'm sure he's fine. As for Ven, when I last spoke with him, he was doing alright.

[She smiles a little at him.]

I'm Centurion Aqua Elwyn, Third Cohort, Ven's cousin on the mortal side. It's nice to meet you.

[OH WELP. John sits a little straighter when she introduces herself. And- oh. Huh.]

Oh um, hey. John Egbert, Fifth Cohort. I'm ...well. You probably guessed that I'm his brother from the IM but yeah, nice to meet you.

[And there's some relief there at her news. He smiles a little bit.]

That's good to hear. Not that I doubted he wouldn't be okay, but. You know.

[She grins at him.]

At ease, John. Unfortunately, you're not the only one missing a brother. The cabin I'm staying in has also gotten a little smaller.

[Aqua sighs a little.]

It's good to know that your family is alright, yes?

I can get you in contact with Jason, I...

[A pause and she sighs.]

I'm glad that you escaped and are well. See me when you have a chance and we'll talk more about the Jason situation.

[AND THERE'S REYNA he will sit extra straight when she addresses him.]

[To that news, though, he smiles. He would like to at least make sure Jason was doing okay. Jason is Jason but he's still kind of worried. He didn't get to say good-bye, anyway.]

Really? That's great! I- yeah. I can do that. Where should I meet you?

I'm sharpening swords at the arena. I won't be leaving anytime soon.

[Jason's still a sore subject for her, but she can definitely understand the concern.]
