[b][color=#9370DB]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A [hr][hr][/center]	Nancy sighed slightly. The Greeks seemed really concerned about finding a god to help in the quest and varying strategies to lure one out, but Nancy knew enough about the gods to know that when they truly needed one, one would be there, if for no other reason than the fact that this quest would directly benefit the Olympians. That wasn't what really made her sigh, though. No, it was - as Zeke whispered to her on his way out - that everyone in this room seemed to be incompetent to varying degrees. Nancy wanted to sit this out and not set her old wounds on fire, but she was forced to come to the conclusion that that would not be an option. This group needed more than just a guide to Las Vegas, someone to point them in the direction of the Lotus Hotel - they needed a [i]leader[/i]. 

	Most of them had left the room now, as Nancy turned to her newly sworn co-praetor. [color=#9370DB]"This isn't fair to you. I'm sorry."[/color] Danielle deserved to have an experienced co-praetor with her, now more than ever. [color=#9370DB]"I'm not ready to stop serving Rome. Can you handle things solo?"[/color] Nancy asked, before motioning to Danielle to walk with her. She made her way back to her living quarters, grabbing her things and throwing them into a bag, and slinging it over her shoulders. [color=#9370DB]"You can trust Alexandra, if you need support,"[/color] Nancy said. [color=#9370DB]"She's got a good head."[/color]

	It was odd, the sort of steely calm that had settled over Nancy. She had always claimed she'd have to be dragged back kicking and screaming to return to the Lotus Hotel and Casino. Maybe it just hadn't properly settled in yet what she was going to do. 

	But she felt that she [i]had[/i] to - without her, the Greeks were doomed to fail, and Mads and Niah's efforts would be in vain. The people of Rome would be in danger. She couldn't ignore this call to arms.

[b][color=a187be]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A [hr][hr][/center]	Leda could tell that Arthur had no idea what she was talking about, but it didn't bother her. She had always been a bit of a daredevil, a thrill seeker. And Arthur was young, probably still sleeping with a nightlight and afraid of what monsters (probably real, if she were honest) were lurking under his bed. Maybe this quest would help him find his courage though, and he'd start to come around to the life of a demigod. If he didn't... Well, Leda figured that way would only make him miserable. This was their lot in life; they had to make the most of it. 

	[color=a187be]"Yup, these things have a way of working themselves out - like, wouldn't be surprised if we run into some sort of monster or whatever that drops an item that helps us breathe underwater,"[/color] Leda explained. [color=a187be]"Quests are sorta like video games that way. Well, the quests that you survive are - you usually end up finding exactly what you need when you need it, and probably not a minute before that."[/color] She realized after she said it that it probably sounded a bit grim to everyone. [color=a187be]"Not that anyone is going to die - we'll all be fine, it'll be fun, you'll see,"[/color] she promised. 

	When the van came to a stop not too far from the Empire State Building, Leda hopped on out, and grabbed the bag and cash that Argus offered her group. Leda opened up the bag of drachmas and tossed the cash inside, before closing it up to consolidate it. [color=a187be]"Think it's a bit of a walk, but doable to get to the harbor from here,"[/color] Leda said. [color=a187be]"Should probs save the money if we can for later."[/color]
