Interacting with Erin Chase [@Vicier]| Dorian Underwood[@King Kindred] | Kyrin Nahng [@Rodiak] | Greyson Davies, Tyler Rumancek [@Moro] | Elias Schneider [@Metztli][/center] [hr][hr] Having said his piece, Spencer was glad that the son of Aphrodite agrees with his sentiment. He assured her that she wasn't alone anymore and that it was alright to be afraid. Kyrin had a point... fear, more often than not, is an indication that one is still alive. Having spent an absurd amount of time in a place that even the gods feared entering almost made the child of death think that he can no longer experience fear anymore. Certainly no manner of monster would be able to instill fear inside him. Heck, he wasn't even afraid of fighting the embodiment of war and death if it meant saving Erin's life. However, he now realized that he is still capable of experiencing fear... the fear of losing her if she fails in this quest. Even if by some miracle, he and the other campers managed to repel Ares' wrath, they would just be delaying the inevitable. His hatred for the gods burned ever fiercer as he saw the glistening tears streaking across Erin's face. In the short time he had known her, she always gave the impression of this strong, opinionated, temperamental, and mature young woman that wasn't the type to take anyone's shit. In fact, he had seen his fair share of Brandon and Greyson getting chased by her hellhounds, Darkness and Destruction. He bet that if she had her way, she would also call upon the three-headed pooch to terrorize those who try to mess with her. But that woman seemed to be a whole other person compared to the terrified and vulnerable girl before him. He wanted to hold her... hug her... reassure her that everything was going to be alright as long as she tried... but by calling her out like he did a few moments ago, he felt like he had no right to do those things. He'd already decided to play the role of a villain (perhaps asshole may be the better term) just so he could get her to move forward... not just stand still like a deer caught in headlights. At the very least, acting like an asshole and pushing her instead of letting her be seemed to work as evidenced by what she uttered in a weak, almost defeated voice. [color=918ABB]"..I-I don't want to die..."[/color]. That was what he was waiting to hear... confirmation that she had not completely given up... that after Olympus practically served her a death warrant, she still wanted so desperately to cling onto life. If they had let her be, the small, sputtering flame of hope could have been snuffed out by the seemingly endless despair she was experiencing. At times like this, despite how claustrophobic or intrusive it may appear, she needed people to lean on. Solitude only breeds more loneliness, hopelessness and despair after all, and it seemed like Erin did not have the pure unbridled hatred Spencer had for his father to endure her punishment all by herself. Hearing those words hardened Spencer's resolve. He was going to do whatever it takes, by whatever means necessary, to save her life and finish this quest. Even if compared to the others who knew her for much longer, and who were much closer to her, he was practically a stranger. As if to accentuate the point, he suddenly felt a sickening force overcome his body as he, Kyrin, and Dorian were forcefully pulled away by an unknown force. The only difference was that Spencer managed to summon and plant his scythe on the ground and hold on to it almost as soon as the mysterious force pulled them back. Hearing the child of Poseidon speak annoyed him greatly, even more so when it became apparent that he was responsible for using the "force" on them. [color=3EA99F]"Sorry guys, but I really must insist on agreeing with Kyrin. It's prob'ly best we go somewhere private to talk. This out-in-the-open business is only going to make matters worse for her. Just the few of us is enough,"[/color] [color=662d91]"mab gwaedlyd poseidon!!!"[/color] Spencer cursed in tandem with Qrow who was cawing what he assumed to be 50 different profanities in Raven talk. Gritting his teeth, Spencer begrudgingly followed the two back to the Hades Cabin. As much as Greyson's sudden appearance irritated him, he knew that having a family member show support was one of the best things Erin needed right now. He also made a valid point to continue the conversation somewhere private since he hated the idea of garnering unwarranted attention on the daughter of Hades when she already has too much on her plate to deal with. Noticing how much Darth Dolphin had exerted himself with that force pull, at the very least he found out something interesting he could use against the son of Poseidon... should the need ever arise. [i][color=662d91]"Damn you, Corona for filling my head with pop culture references. I can't even think the way I used to anymore.".[/color][/i] He also noticed that Elias had joined them at some point but didn't pay him any mind. After what their father has done, he didn't want anything to do with an Ares kid for the time being. Upon arriving, he realized that someone was waiting for them, and upon closer inspection, it was one of the Hermes kids.... Tyler was it? The only thing that set him apart from the rest is that he's friendly with Erin while the rest just steer clear because their afraid of getting chased by her hounds or yeeted into Tartarus. For now, Spencer decided to lean against a wall, keep his mouth shut, and observe the proceedings. He figured Erin already had enough of his voice for a day. Despite acting like an asshole earlier, he didn't want the girl to COMPLETELY hate him. [color=662d91]"Tell us about what the oracle said to you when you're ready. We're here for you no matter what." [/color]Spencer said in the most reassuring and genuine voice he could muster followed by an enthusiastic "kraa" from Qrow who puffed his chest with pride the way a raven does.

[color=f9ad81]Interactions[/color]: Bronwyn/Brynn [@Moro] | Pierre [@MarshiestMallow][/center] Corona sighed in relief when she realized that Brynn had properly read the room. She felt bad because deep down she knows the golden retriever was a good boy but the redhead needs some serious therapy before she can get over her fear of dogs. [color=f9ad81]"Sorry... I promise, once I get over my phobia, I'll be sure to give you all the headpats and belly scratches."[/color] Corona muttered as she guiltily stared at Brynn's dog. Almost instantly, the daughter of Hephaestus perked up when she heard what seemed to be a yes from Brynn only to be interrupted by someone almost quite literally bumping into them. Adapting a defensive stance at first, she relaxed when she realized it was only Pierre. She quickly shook his hand and gave gave him a toothy grin. "Congrats new champion of the obstacle tower. I didn't think ya had it in you!" Corona stepped back from the two for a second and paced back in forth as if in deep thought. Originally, she only meant to bring Brynn with her to Bunker 9 but if it's Pierre... [color=f9ad81]"Pierre we're just about to head to my secret base. You're welcome to join us, but once you do, you must swear on the Styx that you won't utter any word of what you'll see to Hayden and Ky. I really don't want either of them to find out what I've been up to... at least until I'm done building it."[/color] Corona was certain that Pierre was someone she could trust, but one cannot be too careful. What she's building at the moment could potentially be on the same scale as her older half-brother, Leo Valdez's Festus and she knows just how much competitive Ky'vie can get. As much as she wanted to do a build off with her dear half-sister any other day, the same cannot be said when Corona was about to build her life's work... something that would define her legacy as a daughter of Hephaestus... something that could finally flush out the guilt she had been carrying all this time in her chest when one of her creations failed to protect her twin sister.

[color=C0C0C0]Interactions[/color]: Octavia [@Vicier]| Kalinda [@MarshiestMallow] | Zane [@Theyra] | Vivian [@metanoia][/center] Today has perhaps been one of the wildest since Arthur arrived at camp. The mood of the camp went from excitement out of the Obstacle Tower competition, to pure anger and disbelief when Chiron and Mr. D. delivered the news about Erin supposedly stealing Aphrodite's dove. Arthur was the type of person that believes everybody is innocent until proven otherwise, and from the looks of it, the God of War threw a dart on a board with a list of all the campers' names blindfolded and it just so happened that said dart landed on the daughter of Hades' name. While he was in full support of Erin and wishes she could get over her fear of leaving camp in favor of proving her innocence by going on the quest, he believes he wasn't as close as he wished to the girl in order to convince her to do it. There are far better people qualified, and apparently most of them went after her right away like an angry mob. With nothing else to do, the boy decided to find one of his friends to spend some time with which shouldn't be a pretty hard thing to do since he's pretty much friendly with everyone at camp. However, he wasn't just going to walk up to someone or the group without reading the room. From what he observed, Talon, who had a pretty nasty fall, and a nastier confrontation with his half-sister, Octavia, marched off in the direction of the lake followed by Octavia and Brynn. Ky'vie and Brandon were at it again, flirting, which isn't a surprise to anybody at this point. The same can be said for Imani and Katherine. Corona seemed lost in thought for a moment but quickly recovered and went towards the direction of the cabins, and there are people who went to the infirmary either to get medical attention or check up on friends that needed it. He decided to head to the infirmary as well to see if there was anything he could do to help and that's when he spotted Zane, Octavia, Kalinda, and at the far back, Vivian. Arthur quickly rushed to the blonde girl's side and managed to catch her explanation to Kalinda. [color=C0C0C0]"Hey, Sunshine, you alright? It's the visions again, isn't it? It must be pretty serious to land you here this time around."[/color] Arthur furrowed his brow as he inspected Vivian out of concern. The daughter of Apollo was one of his closest friends and finding out that she has this random episodes, most notably the one she had earlier made him worry about her safety. It's fortunate that she looked particularly unharmed but a bad fall can take out a demigod as much as any monster or weapon out there. Arthur smiled gratefully at Kalinda before shifting his attention to Octavia. He nodded in her direction and began addressing her as well. [color=C0C0C0]"Are you doing fine yourself, Octavia? I was watching you all earlier and that was a pretty nasty fall. It was pretty ballsy on your part but you can't keep doing stuff like that or else you're going to be getting acquainted with the medics more than what you'd prefer." [/color]
