Katalina

Katalina sighed. "You know Eleanore hates it when you call them that. But yeah, get her together. Thankfully, we only need to gather in the dining room if the power goes out. Though... I get the feeling everyone's gonna end up there anyways." She balanced the pile of blankets in her arms, and then stepped away. She reached the dining room and saw that she was still alone there. She sighed as set set them down and finished pushing the tables aside.

She wanted to go outside, to feel the water on her face. Rain was nothing like the vast oceans of home, but it was a substitute at times. The pond was okay, as was the rain, but she missed the saltiness of the ocean. Of course, she was hyped up a bit since she had watched Astrid run out, begging to be taken home. She remembered those days. Hell, she still had those days.

Astrid

Astrid could tell that Kade had more he wanted to say, but he swallowed his words for the moment. "That is all I can ask you to do for now. That and once you finish your cocoa, head to the dining room. I believe that the generator might go tonight. Replacing it has been on my list of things to do. But that's not your worry right now. Finish your drink and head to the dining room."

Astrid paused for a moment. "Can I grab my spear?"

"If you can please leave that in your room." Kade's look told Astrid this was not the first time he had been asked such a question.

"Alright." Astrid finished her cup of cocoa, got up and headed for the dining room.

Marco DePaulo

Location: Pegasi Stable/ Path back to it
Mentioned: @Kirah

"For my sanity, and the fact that not only am I your older brother, I am your head counselor too, please get yourself checked out. Please. I'd rather not have Zeke or Chiron come after me later because you fell over during another activity." Marco was not overly fond of Zeke... though he was a talented healer. "Maybe see if Brian can look you over, okay?" Marco knew his fellow head counselor would the one to see as well, as he was a talented healer as well. Most children of Apollo were, but there was the old adage about being 'jack of many trades, master of none.' Apollo sometimes fell into that category, but so did Hermes sometimes.

Marco leaned over to kiss Em on the cheek. "Save me some breakfast? I have the feeling I might miss it. Thanks sweetie. Love you." He mostly whispered those last words to his beloved and stroked her cheek for a moment before turning his attention back to the pegasus that needed attention. He gently rubbed the pegasus's muzzle softly and the lead him on by his bridle.

Once there, he put the creature back in his stable and sighed. He made a mental note to grab Kiera and have her maybe talk to the horse, and figure out what had gone on. Maybe Greg had just done something wrong, when Marco wasn't looking. He had been distracted, he would openly admit that, but there was a lot on his mind.

Katalina

Katalina looked at Sumi and then paused a bit and sighed as she heard sobbing in the background. "Hey Sumi... Eleanor wants us all in the dining hall if a power outage, since there is a storm. I'm collecting up the blankets and the like. If you can pass on the message about gathering in the dining hall just in case, I'd appreciate it. As... for Hannah, tell her I apologize... but we all hope still. And things are..." She sighed a bit. "I'm sorry. I best put these in the hall before we... just in case." She turned to head back to the dining hall, with all the blankets still in her arms.

Astrid

Astrid was waiting in the classroom when Kade walked in. He had a cup of cocoa in one hand, and extra blanket and two candles. "For your room. Eleanor wants everyone to have two and I think that while Alexander and Christopher are getting some, here." He then sat down and looked at Astrid.

"Look, Astrid... I'm not going to make promises. Those never help. But doors... usually don't reopen, but sometimes they do. You may find yours in time, but you can not chase after every thunder storm, okay? I promise you, that's not your door." Kade's southern twang reassured Astrid, as did the cocoa. There was almost a hint of honey in it, like the sweet mead from Valhalla. It made her long for home, and she started tearing up again.

"I just... Lord Thor always arrived in a smash of thunder... and well... I had hoped... Lord Odin and Lady Freya told me I would know." Astrid sniffled at that and sipped her cocoa more and more. "This is good. I'll just... stay away from storms."

Marco DePaulo

Location: Pegasi Stable/ The Sky
Mentioned: @Kirah

Marco smiled as Em returned the wave and kiss, as he was happy to see her down there. That was where she belonged, with the strawberries. She was so beautiful. Of course, that moment was ruined by one of his younger brothers crashed into the fields and and he swooped down and then landed on the ground and paused. "Are you alright, Greg?"

"Yeah... yeah... I'll be fine." The young man said and Marco walked over to pick the younger boy up. "Nothing bad happened."

"Good... Sorry about the field Em... I can help you with this later, if you want. I best make sure that both Greg here and the pegasus are okay." Marco looked over Greg and the boy did seem alright. "Go find an Apollo kid to check you over. Better safe than sorry. Chester, go head to the stable, I'm gonna walk this little one back home. Best after a fall like that." Greg sighed, rolled his eyes and then walked off to Cabin 7, to see if ether Zeke or one of the other Apollo campers were there, and give him a check over.

Chester seemed to understand what Marco said, even if Marco was missing the gift of horse talking, and went to fly off back to the stables. Marco walked over to the other pegasus and gently rubbed their muzzle to calm them down. Once the pegasus was calmed down, Marco used his lead to guide him back to the stables. As he walked, he waved and smiled to everyone, still hiding the fact he was freaking out about Rosie's prophecy the other day.

Marco DePaulo

Location: Pegasi Stable
Mentioned: @Kirah

Marco walked over the pegasus and then gently pat it and looked into his eyes for a moment. "He needs a bit more time, but he's also looking for something... I might ask Kiera can talk to him later. For now... we'll just let him fly with us. If he wants. Ugh, talking to animals seems like a useful skill, and I wish we had it sometimes." He then went to finish saddling up the one he had been saddling up.

As his sister, Grace spoke, Marco looked over and smiled brightly. "Things with Em and I are great. It's good to be back in person with her. Messages can only do so much." Marco and his older siblings giggled at that notion and then smiled a bit. The younger ones didn't quite understand.

"If we're all saddled up, and everything looks good, we can go fly for a bit. I'll be here till lunch, as I think I have a few lessons to give." Marco laughed a bit at that as he saddled the Pegasus he usually flew, and then mounted him and patted him on the back. The chestnut brown pegasus had a heart shaped heart mark on his belly, and had been named Chester for his color. Marco wanted to change his name, but the old stallion wouldn't have any other name. He soon took off to the sky, letting the wind whip around his face as they flew around the camp. He looked around and soon looked over the Strawberry fields and waved to Em and blew her a kiss.

Katalina

Katalina had been mostly stunned when Astrid had torn out of the old house and headed outside, and sighed. She was distracted by Eleanore soon talking to her and then blinked a bit at that. "Ah... yes, I'll get the blankets and pillows. I'll make sure that the word is passed around... also... sorry Eleanore. Didn't mean to... y'know." Katalina was suddenly the fifteen year old her body and hormones trapped her in, and she was running along to the linen closets, and passing on the message to the others there. She took the bundle of blankets with her down to the dining hall, and put them on one of the tables and started pushing them aside. If they were to spend the night there... she knew they would need the space.

Astrid

Astrid looked at Alexander when he draped his coat over her shoulders and muttered a soft thank you. She thought that she must look pathetic in that moment, crying and wet, having demanded to go home to an blank and empty sky. She looked at Kade and wasn't sure that she wanted to really talk, but she knew that they had to. "I'll make sure it gets back later..." She said softly as she looked at Alexander and then headed to her room.

Once there, she moved to undress, taking care to put the jacket off to the side and hung it up. The other clothing she tossed off to the side before pulling on a clean skirt, and t-shirt and sighed. She headed for the classroom and sighed a bit as she waited. She knew that she was in trouble, on her first day. But all she had wanted was to go home. She curled up in one of the chairs, listening to the thunder and seeing the lightning and sniffled. Silent tears rolled down her cheeks as she looked out at the rain, and then she put her hand to the cold window pane.

Marco DePaulo

Location: Stables of Camp Half Blood

---

---

The sweet smell of strawberries in the air, as well as the crispness of a Long Beach summer reminded Marco that he really was there, at Camp Half-Blood. Another school year, another year of excelling at languages and sweet talking his way into good grades, not that anyone could guess he was anything less than a perfectly charming student. The young man had made sure that no one would ever suspect that there was anything different with the young man, other than his dyslexia.

With his earbuds in, he was brushing down one of the pegasi, while humming along to The Queen. A few of his fellow Aphrodite campers were brushing down the other pegasi, and a few others, like his sister, Marianne, were saddling up some of the pegasi for flying lessons. Marco wasn't as good with them as Kiera, the only child of Poseidon at the camp, or that they knew of at the moment, but he was good with animals.

Speaking of, a little squeak came from the bag at Marco's side, and he smiled, and fed a little green leaf to the little sugar glider in his bag. "You ready to go for a flight, Milo? I know you love it up there. You can glide down." Marco laughed at that as the little sugar glider looked at Marco, tilted his head and then munched on the leaf without a care in the world.

Marco was envious of his little pet for the moment. Two days ago, shortly after he had arrived with the other campers, and had reunited with his sweet Em... Rosie had opened her mouth and spouted a 'Great' Prophecy. He hated the whispers of war swirling around, as his mother had a rather horrible reputation with meddling with wars or starting them. Hell, most of them had not forgiven her for Troy! Hell, his older sister, that he had never met... well two of them, had been key in the last two wars. It was a huge weight on his shoulders, as he kept trying to be more than just that pretty son of Aphrodite. He was thinking he might need to go talk to either Zo or Em later... as he could feel himself stressing out.

"Marco... I think you've brushed him enough?" Marianne sighed as she tapped his shoulder.

"Ah... Mari you're right. Let's saddle him up." Marco sighed and put down the brush and went to get the saddle.

Katalina

Katalina looked at Kade and paused. "I'm okay... better go get her before something terrible happens." She said and then sighed a bit. She was worried about the new girl, but at the same time, she went to head to her room, and heard Hannah yelling at Astrid. "Oye... c'mon hon..." She sighed as she looked at her and frowned a bit. "The girl has met some gods in her world... don't taunt her like that." She sighed a bit at that.

Astrid

Astrid tore off for the outside, and slammed the doors open and looked up at they sky. The rain pelted her face and she looked up at the sky and held her hands out. "Please, sweet Thor! I am ready!" She yelled and then turned back to the door when she heard Alexander and Kade. She frowned as the rain matted down her hair, and the droplets rolled down her face, masking her tears. She turned back to them both and whimpered.

"It's not the Lord of Thunder? It's just... regular lightning?" She spoke softly, her voice a little broken at that point. It seemed that she had hoped, but maybe it was too soon.

She walked up the porch and stood there, dripping wet and sighed. "I... guess... I should go change." She didn't look at either Kade or Alexander as she stood there on the porch.

Katalina

"Oh, what I'm doing is not what we're suppose to do. Eavesdropping. Kade and Eleanor have been odd all day since the new students arrived, one after the other." Katalina whispered to Alexander. She knew that something was up... something was bothering them both. She paused and gestured for Alexander to go quiet as she listened to Eleanore and Kade.

She leaned in close, her ears picking up the conversation and the last of Eleanor's words. "Can't find out with going to the index line." However, the crash startled her, and it startled another, and with a cry, Astrid stood up and dashed off.

"Sweet Lord of Thunder! I am here!" The girl yelled as she ran off for the stairs. Katalina knew this too well, some people took things the wrong way. She had mentioned... why would there be a Lord of Thunder? It had to be a summer storm. However watching the poor girl tear down the stairs as if she was looking for her door... so soon... it hurt. Katalina knew that pain. However, she could also see the young man with the corn-yellow hair that was probably going to chase after her, or scold them for eavesdropping.

History

Biography
Marco’s father was a young supermodel, around twenty two years in age, when he started dating this beautiful young lady model that he met. The two had a story book romance, falling in love quickly, and they looked rather handsome together. However, right as Marco’s father was getting ready to propose, the woman vanished, leaving him alone for seven months. At the end of that, a basket with a note and a baby appeared in it on his doorstep. There was nothing more in the note that a simple apology and the name of the baby.

Marco grew up doted on by his single father, but there was always a lingering sadness in the poor man. His heart had been crushed, broken by this beautiful woman, and whenever Marco would ask about his mother, he could tell that the hurt was real, so he learned quickly to not ask about his mother.

Marco and his father always knew that he was not going to be a normal boy, as he took an interest in fashion, needle felting, and both boys and girls quickly in his life. However, besides some trouble with school work and being diagnosed with both ADHD and dyslexia as a young age, his teachers always found him a charming and sweet boy, and it seemed that Marco was always able to talk himself out of any sort of terrible trouble that he might be in.

When he was about twelve, he made friends with a rather odd boy, and they became close over the year. It was towards the end of the year that the boy revealed what he was, what Marco was and told him of Camp Half-Blood. Marco was interested, and told his father it was a fashion summer camp, and then packed up and went there. He’s been back every summer since then, for the last five years. He still wants to punch his mother in the face if he ever meets her, but other than that, he’s quite happy.

How Long Have They Been At Camp Half-Blood: Marco was found by one of the school Satyrs when he was twelve, and shortly after claimed by his mother and taken to the camp. He easily fit in with his siblings, and the young man has always been charming, so he easily fit in with the others. He has been at the camp for five years, but he only attends during the summer. He’s not that powerful to attract monsters all the time.
