[b][color=#9370DB]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A [hr][hr][/center]	[color=#9370DB]"You punched a shitty god in the face,"[/color] Nancy muttered. She knew as soon as she said it that it probably wasn't the best idea, as Alexios could [i]definitely[/i] hear her, but she realized right then that she didn't care. Being afraid of him was only going to give him more power over her. And she didn't want to give him an inch. Was he the one who had hurt her? No. But an out of control party had been the circumstances that had led to the assault - for better or worse, she'd always associate parties with that. Same thing with drinking and drugs and swanky hotels. They all reminded her of that night. They were the wound that would never heal, that would never become a scar and fade away. 

	Even all these years later, Nancy was still bleeding. She still couldn't get the stain off of her hands. 

	Still though, even in her anger she was touched by Zeke's compassion. Not many people would offer to defy the gods for someone else. She knew for a fact that no one else on this quest would have done it. And as angry as she was, she knew that skipping out on this quest... it might condemn Mads forever. Her emotions were all twisted up. She did want to save the world. She couldn't let the flames consume her friends. She just couldn't stand the idea of doing it with these Greeks. They could all go to Tartarus for what she cared. 

	She hesitated for a moment, taking a deep breath, before turning to Zeke. [color=#9370DB]"Screw them. We can do this on our own. If Dad's really changed, then at first light he's going to give us a ride. We'll make our own way. And we'll stop these assholes. We don't need the rest of them to find the door. And honestly, they can't do it without us. The Lotus Hotel will eat them alive."[/color] Her voice was dark, with an edge sharper than a well-kept knife. Her heart was pounding. As difficult as it was to talk about that place, her anger and fury was helping at the moment, keeping her from crumbling to pieces at the mere mention. She'd ride this fury all the way to the Sin City. [color=#9370DB]"Are you with me?"[/color][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] Under the Sea
[b][color=a187be]Skills:[/color][/b] Superspeed [hr][hr][/center]	Leda smiled, happy to see that Sera wasn't going to argue with her. She wished every questing partner she had was this agreeable. Of course, the last quest she had been on had been with Kristin and Zeke, both of which were stubborner than the gods. Gods, Leda hated them. She hoped they were both fretting and worrying themselves to death back at Camp Half-blood, wondering if everyone else would save the world. She didn't know that they were on a quest themselves at the moment. She put a finger to her lips, indicating for Sera to be quiet. Oceanus had set the trident down near the throne, before swimming off to do whatever the fuck it was Oceanus did before trying to murder a bunch of innocent people. She bet he was looking at dirty magazines. 

	At any rate, while there were still guards, this seemed as good a chance as any. Leda moved faster than the eye could see on over to the throne, snatching up the trident. It shrunk in her hands until it was just about six feet tall or so - a helpful feature, as otherwise she had NO IDEA how they were gonna get it out of there. It was [i]really[/i] heavy though. Leda would've muttered about how dumb it was for a magic weapon to match the size of the person holding it, but not the strength - only it would've given her away. Instead, she continued in her run, only coming to a stop when she was crouching down next to Sera again, this time with trident in hand. 

	As far as she could tell, there wasn't anything visibly wrong with the trident - it was just HEAVY AF. [color=a187be]"That was too easy,"[/color] she whispered to Sera. [color=a187be]"I don't trust it, mate. But this is also our best shot at ending him. Sending him down the monster garbage chute. Give your dad his kingdom back and restore a bit of balance. You can go find your sister or... you can come with me and we can try to end this."[/color]
