Lara looked up as she heard the call to dinner and got up with a groan. So much for getting a shower and changing before dinner. Thankfully, the dead cared less about appearances sometimes. So, she simply untied her hair and let it fall down and then got up and headed out of the hallway and towards the now swarmed elevator. She frowned as she looked at it and let out a sigh. She moved and shoved her way through the throngs of people until she managed to wiggle her way into the tiny box and waited for the big doors to slam shut and take them on their way to the dining hall.

Tight spaces were nothing new to Lara. She had gotten use to the elevator quickly in her time in the Hotel, but it also reminded her of a different time. Without thinking her hand wrapped around her necklace and she fidgeted with the little silver star on her necklace. She had planned to convert...

She let her mind slip back to the small room, always smelling of books. Levi loved books almost as much as he loved her. He would have loved knowing that the old Nordic Myths were true...

Lara mentally slapped herself. Why was she dwelling on this so much today? Was her formerly mortal mind trying to remind her of some important date? She wasn't sure anymore about what was going on. When the elevator dinged for the dining room floor, she shoved her way out and went to go see if she could find either Arnora or Klara. She could use a friend.

"Piss poor attitude I might have, Nancy, just charming a Titan is even hard for my mother... or she would have boinked them all until peace was settled. But thanks for the vote of confidence. It does help." It was indeed nice to know that Nancy felt that he could do it if it came to that. It wasn't like he tried to tap into Charm speak too often if he thought about it... he had always assumed when he was younger people had given him things because of whom his father was. When he had found out it had been because of his mother's gift, it had surprised him a bit but well... he never used it on his partners. That would have been dishonest.

"Blame pop culture for why food has to apply to romance Nancy, though again, really, you don't seem the sort to date. As for the senate, if they really get fussy about meeting again, I could smooth things over if you wanted?" It wasn't so much that he didn't just want to help with that, but he also wasn't too fond of Alexandra. She took too much pleasure in tearing apart the stuffed animals to get her visions, and for poor Marco... he had seen her tear into a stuffed Dove once, one of his mother's symbols and that had rubbed him wrong.

"Okay, fine... let's go... thank goodness you brought me a sandwich today instead of that chicken pot pie, huh?" Marco chuckled a bit as he swept up his lunch and then paused. "I should probably let them know I won't be back today... important Demi-God business."

Lara stepped off the elevator on her floor and was thankful a bit for the calm. Yes, she enjoyed spending time with others, like Arnora and some of the other residents in the hotel, but when it came to Dalisy... the woman would not open up to Lara. They butted heads like they were a pair of goats that were fighting over the one part of the hill, when there was an entire mountain to fight upon. Lara always tried to be civil to Dalisy, but it seemed that no matter what she did, it would not matter. However, Lara did know that not everyone could be friends. It was mostly just awkward when Lara wanted to spend time with Arnora... which... was a bit of the time if she was honest to herself.

Lara headed into her room and sighed as she looked at it. In a cruel twist of fate, her room had been designed much like the little apartment she had hoped to move into with Levi when the war was over... the little apartment they would make their live together. But no, the fates had not been kind. Lara didn't even know if Levi had lived or had passed. She had never looked as it would break her heart. She knew that Levi would have never joined her here. He was a scholar, and.... she was a warrior.

She flopped out on her bed for a moment, as she wanted to take a shower but also felt herself feeling a bit drained at the moment.

Marco frowned more as it was explained they would be heading to Mount Tam. Honestly, he was glad that Niah was going to be there, as well as Emily since Charmspeak against a Titan? He'd be lucky if he survived trying to do that to a god... and that wasn't easy. Hell, he only knew of one powerful Charmspeaker that had helped fight against a Titan, and it hadn't been her alone that had done it. So having multiple people there and trying to subdue the Titan would be for the best. However...

"I do agree we should go quickly, but doesn't the Senate need to vote on this first? I know I'm not really into the political side myself but if this is a quest, we need to do this right." He was sure none of them would really want to go to the Senate about this, even though they probably would get approval as both the Praetors were on board with this, but still if they didn't do that right others would protest.

"Also Nancy, I didn't take you as the kind of person that would want someone significant to you to bring you lunch. I was pretty sure you didn't really do relationships."

"Lunch does smell good, thank you for bringing it to me." Marco whispered back to Em at that point and smiled as he relaxed a bit at that point as he started eating. Oh yes, lunch was good but as the topic turned from one thing to talk of Atlas and going to check on his prison on the island... Marco had lost his appetite and soon he pushed his food off to the side to wait for his stomach to catch up with the hungry part of himself.

"Okay Nancy, I do appreciate you wanting to use my wonderful talents at this time, but I am not sure my, as you put it, 'Voodoo magic' can work on a Titan. I have Charmspeak but I do not have it as powerful as some of my siblings... I mean I have it more than others." Marco was trying not to be insulted when Nancy called his charmspeak 'Voodoo' as it really did not work out like that. Charmspeak was... more... influence from what he understood of having used it before.

"So, the Titans and the Giants coming back huh? Well I'm in to help prevent that from happening. Honestly, war is not something I enjoy."

"I'd appreciate that, but I think another day for a rapid run together would be for the best." Lara mostly spoke to Arnora at that point, since she was sure Dalisy had not inclination of ever doing anything with Lara again. Sure, Dalisy had tried to keep the disdain out of her voice, but Lara could pick it up ever so slightly at that point.

"I'll pass on leather working for the moment, but I will want to go to my floor and change out of my wet clothing before I freeze." Lara reached over to press the button for her floor, which was 233. That did mean that Arnora would be getting off the elevator before either Dalisy or Lara, which would probably be a bother.

"So any theories on if there will be anything going on at dinner? I think I heard whispers of a new person earlier, before I got on the rapids." Whenever anyone new arrived that night their death would be played and then they'd be honored. It always interested Lara to see how people had earned their way to the Hotel.

The coffee shop was starting to fill up more, especially since the Senate had ended. Marco was working on the various pour overs and other drinks, and almost missed what Nancy had said, but his ears almost seemed to perk up when she mentioned not only his name but Emily's and Waverley's. "Wait and Marco, Emily and Waverly will what?" He pulled over one of the college age baristas over and told them in no other terms that Marco was taking his lunch right then and there. This was a conversation he needed to be apart of, and probably Emily and Waverly as well.

"Hey Em hon... you might want to come over here and bring Waverly!" Marco picked up the packed lunch Emily had brought him and then he walked over to the table the praetors were sitting at with Niah. "Excuse me ladies, but I think this conversation now involves me so I think I have the right to crash the party. Also I'm pretty damn hungry and Emily brought me lunch." Marco started pulling things out of the bag and set the food out on the table and smiled. Emily was such a sweet girlfriend, and Marco counted his lucky stars every day that they were together.

"Fun was one way to put it. Next time I want to go down the rapids I might have to ask to go with you two again, given that I survived with you two rather than with the people I started off with." Lara knew that even as she said that that Dalisy would probably toss herself into the rapids than go down them again with Lara. That was always the way with Lara and Dalisy, since the day Dalisy had arrived. No matter how many times Lara tried to ask her what the problem was, Dalisy always found away to avoid answer the question.

Lara hopped off at the dock and helped tie it up at that point and sighed a bit at that as she looked at them both. "You two can go again if you'd like, I might go practicing somewhere else. Unless there is something else you'd like to do, Arnora?" She smiled at the other woman, hoping that Arnora might want to hang out a bit longer.

"Well technically yes, she's my niece and I only remind her of that when she's annoying me. Her father is my sibling through my mother. But... anyways I'm glad I'm not on the council or senate. I think I couldn't handle all that. Em knows how I am with drama sometimes." Marco sighed a bit at that as he leaned over the counter and looked around the little cafe.

It was picking up for the afternoon, so he knew that he should prepare, but his ears perked up when he heard mention of Nancy's vision and the Greeks arriving soon. He had always been interested in meeting Greek demi-gods, especially ones from his mother. Aphrodite/ Venus was one of the few rare gods that seemed to not be torn apart by their various sides. Love was love after all... and if there was anything his mother was known for, was love, as well as starting wars.

"I can try my best to keep them occupied, but well it seems Dalisy is also on top of it." Lara gently crouched down in the canoe, and then looked over at the other canoe and narrowed her eyes a bit. She knew that she had to be careful about where she stepped and where she aimed... but thankfully her spear would come back to her if she tossed it... but the other canoe got in close, close enough for Lara to make some jabs at them. Sadly, she missed the other woman but...

*THUD*

The ever so satisfying sound of metal piercing wood and causing a huge hole in the other canoe made Lara grin at that point. She simply smirked over at the other canoe and then pulled her spear back. Thankfully, even if she had missed the other people in the canoe, she had caused them some damage that they couldn't easily fix it.

"Anora, we need to get out of range and quick, think you can do that?" Lara had faith that the other woman could do it, but it was still a bit risky if the other woman left in the canoe wanted her vengeance or to even try hopping over. Lara didn't want to die, not by drowning. She hated drowning, and it was on her list of top horrible ways to die, right up there with being shot to death.
