"Well shoot, guess I'll have to give up on my physic career." Her face broke out in a massive smile. At a comment about their beauty from one of the boys Astrid notice her sister shift in her posture. She leant forwards giving off the appearance that her breasts were bigger than they actually were. Rolling her eyes and shaking her head she thought about how Austin's comment was so accurate sometimes. [i]"I'm Austin, by the way, son of the infamous Drake Sentinel, and some goddess. I don't know who, yet. Nice to meet you two." [/i] Still looking at Ky her face changed into confusion, who the hell was Drake Sentinel? With sudden inspiration she said, "I remember now he's the pizza guy! In that one movie... Right?" Her voice was playfully gently teasing the Austin for assuming that everyone knew who his father was.

Turning towards Allen she waited patiently for his name. [i]"I'm Allen Napier, and I am also the son of a Goddess. My mother is Hecate, where as my father is deceased. You were close though deary, fairly close. I really don't what cabin I am put in, so long as it has non-sibling lassies like yourselves for me to gander at while working. It is a pleasure to meet all three of you, but an even better pleasure to have you ladies show me the Cabins."[/i] She felt her eyes beginning to roll again. Looking at her sister she said, "You have no idea how common this shit is becoming. This place is becoming a dating camp. You can literally feel the teenage hormonial tension in the air." She put out her hand in a kneading gesture.

[i]And if either of you need help or are looking for someone to talk to just head on over, our cabin isn't one that can really be missed; most cabin counselors are pretty good when it comes to new campers, however I suggest you stay away from the Hades cabin as Erin isn't the friendly type..."[/i] At the mention of Erin, Astrid looked towards the dark cabin. Even for the children of Hades it was surprisingly quiet, and dark. "You know, now that you mention it, it does seem a bit smaller around here." She shrugged the tingling feeling at the back of her neck off, "Probably just wandering camp somewhere, it's quite a large place, you know."

[u] [b] Jack [/b] [/u]

Jack laughed quietly glad that Caien had joined his joke instead of getting angry about it. [i] "I didn't have much time to find a weapon really before the ground ate me."[/i] Jack looked at him with an expression that said, "Really?" Despite his skeletal face he felt rather proud of the way it turned out. Shaking his head he began to rummage around in the junk. "Most people keep a weapon on them at all times at this camp. Comes in handy during surprise situations." He stopped his search and gestured around, "Like this. Anyways, because a weapon is sort of... annoying to carry a lot of the Hephaestus kids, like myself, have devised mechanisms to shrink them. Pens turning into swords, quarters into javelins, tissues into pikes, you know, the usual. That or you combust into flames, its a fairly reliable method." Finally finding what he was looking for, Jack began to pull.

Dragging out what seemed to be an old dish washer, he flipped it over with a slight struggle, and began to investigate the back. Reaching his hand into the tightly compact network of pipes, he clasped down onto something. Having smaller hands was becoming a really useful tool. Setting his feet, Jack began to pull. The machine at his feet squeaked and groaned, but showed no signs of budging. Leaning back he growled from deep in his throat. "Fuck it," stepping back he blasted the machine with red-hot fire, covering it's surface. In the center of the stream was a concentrated beam carving out what he wanted. After he had finished he reached in and grabbed out a glowing-red hot steel pipe. "Pretty much the best thing your going to get for now." Jack watched his knuckles and saw the heat shine through the cracks of the bones. "huh, cool." Swinging it around him a little bit, so that it cooled, he followed by tossing it to Cai. "Have fun."

[i]"Who'd you think put all this stuff here? What is it anyway?"[/i] He shrugged slightly. "Hell if I know. Maybe it's one of the gods junk yards. Like Hermes lost and found? I sincerely doubt it's my fathers though, he like never wastes anything." He followed Cai until they reached the end of the clear path and began climbing the piles of junk. Their pace was forced to slow as they carefully placed their feet, so that pieces of the mountain of garbage didn't start deteriorating under them. "I must say, this is quite a boring challenge. I was hoping for something a little more Ate." Inside he was actually terrified of what would come next, but reasoning with himself that he might as well get it over with , so that they didn't have to keep worrying about the forthcoming threat.
