She didn't want to drag Niah down with her. Niah needed to go and live her life, she didn't need to experience the wrath of some asshole gods. The same was true for Mads - Nancy was still holding out hope that Apollo would return with a cure for Mads. Mads giving the middle finger to the god of prophecy probably wasn't a recipe for success. As Mads pulled her into a tight hug and reminded Nancy of her curse, Nancy's mind only became more determined. She couldn't let her friends sacrifice their lives for her. But she also couldn't go to the Lotus Hotel and Casino. Both options were impossible - they couldn't go and she couldn't go, but [i]someone[/i] had to... And unfortunately, the prophecy hadn't shown Niah or Mads there. Nancy had witnessed things through her own eyes and assumed that the prophecy meant that she would have to go. [color=#9370DB]"No,"[/color] Nancy sniffled, even as her body was shaking. [color=#9370DB]"You're both going to go do your quests. You're going to survive and bring glory to New Rome. And we're going to save you, Mads,"[/color] Nancy said. [color=#9370DB]"I swear it on the River Styx, we're going to win."[/color] She paused. Even as she held onto Mads like a lifeline, Nancy could feel the distance space and time would impose on them, one way or another. [color=#9370DB]"I'll find another way for myself. I'll... I won't go back there. They can't make me. But you both have to go on these quests. There isn't a choice to be made there except for you to go."[/color] [color=#9370DB]"Maybe I can appeal to Lady Diana... If it means leaving New Rome for the Hunt now, then so be it."[/color] Even as she said that though, Nancy was filled with guilt. She didn't want to abandon her people - or see her friends go into that horrible, monstrous Hotel on her behalf.[hr][hr][center][h3][color=a187be][b]🌈 Leda Storm 🌈[/b][/color][/h3][img]https://64.media.tumblr.com/97b8c553cbb195c7ea49cc44e8711ccc/tumblr_inline_p1oageaqHl1rifr4k_540.gif[/img][hr][b][color=a187be]Location:[/color][/b] Camp Half-blood: Dining Pavilion [b][color=a187be]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A [hr][hr][/center] Leda groaned slightly, realizing that Kiera had to go that meeting. She really wanted to get going on their quest, but Arthur had to participate in it as well. She couldn't help but be a little impatient and fidgety - it was the pre-quest excitement and nerves. [color=a187be]"Fiiiiine,"[/color] Leda sulked. [color=a187be]"I s'pose you're right and you have to go natter away about what poor sap has to hang with the Romans,"[/color] Leda admitted. She wasn't the head counselor for the Iris Cabin, so Leda didn't share that responsibility. And as they had already gone to the camp store, Leda didn't have any supplies that she needed to grab. She was already to go and she was dreading how long Kiera and Arthur's meeting might take. [color=a187be]"I'll walk over there with ya, and then find something to do. Maybe I'll throw some rocks at the water or something, dunno."[/color] Maybe she could read? But she didn't want to get too into a book at the moment - she tended to binge read rather than slowly pace herself, so starting just to stop less than an hour or so later would be irritating. Maybe she could bother her siblings? But she didn't really feel like that either - she talked to them all the time.
