As The Gladius Turns

[AB THE AMAZING!]

So this is a thread to put down all of the funny moments from the ICC box that are just too priceless to let slip into the infinite wasteland of old ICC games somewhere out there in the internet universe.
Anyhow! You can copy/paste verbatim, or feel free to just summarize.

[Deleted]

Felicity went to shadow travel everyone some Happy Meals and the ever wise Remus response when Felicity states she got him a boy toy. :

Remus *takes the box like it might be a bomb* A boy toy? What the...? *looks inside and pulls out a handheld plastic transformer* What...?

Jason and Edmund practicing archery in ICC:

Jason: Everyone can learn if they are willing. You have to be open about it
Ed: *just aims and fires, hitting a ring above and to the left*
Jason: I think I have more conversation with a tree.
Ed: At least it'd have a dryad. Dunno how friendly those are though. *hits the second ring to the right*
Jason: Not to friedly to Apollos kids *mutters*

[Deleted]

Rhia, Josh, Charlie, and the Metal Bird are in the ICC:

MetalBird: *metal eye zooms in on Rhia and the song switches to This is War from 30 Seconds to Mars*

Josh: *smirked* Thank you! at least smeone realizes I wouldn't be so dumb!! *looking at Rhia* enjoy the song, don't look at the bird. (it had been playing "Fireflies")

Charlie: the bird is adorable. he has the greatest timing with his songs. *gently strokes the bird*

Rhia: "Look here bird, I don't want a war or anything. Just your untimely death."

MetalBird: *switches to If I Die Young*

....I honestly didn't mean for the Bird to get a personality xDD

[Deleted]

Felicity: *grins* Wouldn't it be weird if Clare started dating Alex. Then all the Neptune and Jupiter kids will be flirting and I'll just be in a corner all like, this chicken is tasty.

Alex: Well Josh seemed to have some 'interesting' pick up lines for you *he winked at Felicity*

Alistair: *starts to take a sip from his flask and laughs so hard it spray out his nose* gods that burns! If Clare wants to date this guy... go for it but if you break my sisters heart I'll break your neck with an irish boxing style you have never seen before. that goes for any man. *looks at felicity* dun worry, you and remus will have fun together

Alistair and Alex talking about Alistair dating Cassie

[Deleted]

I couldn't pass this up XD

Ellie:

AB: Ed, you look like a pantene commercial

Jackie: ROFL!!!!!!!! *dies*

Ellie: pantene commercial?

AB: the hair flowing in the wind and that look like "yup, I'm awesome" love it

Ellie: ......... ROFL DYING i was going more for the "i will murder you" but the flowy hair is much better XDDDD

AB: LOL

Jackie: *revives* Gah, I dont think I can looks at Ed the same again

[Deleted]

Sorry for double posting in here, but I couldn't resist
ALSO I cried while writing this IC >.<

Edmund: *compared to last night, his eyes are like... dead* (flat) Hi Lyn

Lyn: "Hey Ed! I...I know you don't like people, or...or stuff. But we'remakeing a family group you don't have to come. I'd like you to, super super like you to, but...will you be part of my family?"

Edmund: *just looks at her silently for a minute and then crouches down so he's eye level with her* Lyn... you don't want me in your family. I'm no good for you. I'm not coming.

Lyn: "You don't have to come, but you can still be my family! I like you alot Ed, do you not like me?"

Edmund: *just gives her the gibbs stare from the OOC Cbox* (end of clip)

Lyn: -drops her head- "I wanna be like you, make stuff like you. Because your so cool. Isn't that like a big brother?"

Edmund: *gently raises her chin so she'll look at him* (quietly) You don't want to be anything like me.

Lyn: "Why?"

Edmund: *shakes head slightly* A lot of reasons... *hesitates slightly before gently putting his hand ontop of her head* Take care of yourself, Lyn. *stands and goes to walk*

Lyn: -frowns- "I'll see you later Ed. Be good!"

Edmund: *poofs off to go plot to destory his file*

....Ed obviously took Lyn's "Be good!" to heart >.>

Rhia went to ask Jason about Josh's condition, Jason took a slight detour with the conversation and suddenly Rhia realizes she likes Josh romantically.

Jason: Before you go. Does he know abut how much you care?

Rhia: "We've been best friends since we entered the legion, he better know."

Jason: I'm not talking about in a friend sort of way.

Rhia: "Then what are you talking about?"

Jason: Out of everyone who has coem to ask me about Josh. Felicity, Lance, and everyone else. You are the only one to ask me so many questions. Obviously you care more then a friend.

Rhia: "Lance? What would lance be doing here?" -change of focus-

Jason: He saw it happen. *sighs* You're changing the subject. One mroe clue to your true feelings.

Rhia: "Oh please, if I had a...crush" -blushes- "I think I would realize"

Jason: Then why the blush and being so defensive?

Rhia: "Why must you press the topic?" -raises voice a little-

Josh: *mutters something then back to sleep*

Jason: Becuase it took me awhile to figure out the person I truly liked. Do you really want to deny your feelings and watch him get snatched by someone else. That Felicity girl has been seen flirting with him you know. Its now or never.

Rhia: "He...he's my friend. My only friend, don't go noseing around in other people buyness."

Jason: *shrugs* Fine, though. Just think about it. How would you feel if he ended up with another girl forever. One other girl to share his laugh with, his smile, himself with.

Rhia: -can't help but think about it, clenches teeth at the though that he might be right.- "I hate how you say it all so calmly."

Jason: *smirks* Thats because thats how you figure out if you like a person or not. Everyone has to think about it one day.

Rhia: "Tch, I was fine with out the thought."

Jason: *smirks* Well now that it is there. You should consider it. * hears a timer go off in the infirmary* ah, I have to go hand out medication.

Rhia: "I hope to not see you again." -leaves-

For the cuteness
*DW = Dream World because Tessa found Edmund sleeping in the forge

Edmund: **DW: *turns and runs the other way and the room he pushes into becomes his old living room**

Tessa: -glances at his face to make sure he's still asleep, see's him frowning-

Edmund: **DW: *lights a match and throws it into the hallway, trying to make the fire burn itself out* / (mix between what he can remember of his mother's voice and Charlie's voice) WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING SIMONS?!**

Tessa: -sits on the bench next to him looking at his uneasy face and looks around real quick before singing a song softly-

Edmund: **DW: *Tessa's singing gets incorporated into the dream and the fire starts disappearing**

Tessa: -sings softly and kindly reaching her hand to stroke his head before stopping just above his hair-

Edmund: **DW: *fire reduces to one column, masking whoever's singing, Edmund cautiously inches toward it*

Tessa: -cautiously touches his head as she continues to sing the pleasant song. Not a lullaby, those thing are creepy. who puts a baby in a tree?-

Edmund: *DW: blends tessa's touch with his mother's hand coming to rest slightly on his head, although he can't really see any of her details*

Tessa: -relaxes as she realizes he's not waking up letting her voice relax at the same time-

Edmund: *fire fizzles out and Edmund's left in the dark with his "mother's" singing and her hand on his head, not really able to see her and trying his hardest to remember*

Tessa: -continues to stroke his head and sing, relaxing over her own arm on his work table-

Edmund: *black turns into a white room, but still can't make out any of his mother's physical traits*

Tessa: -only slept for an hour or so last night and is starting to get a little tired as she sings and pets Ed's fluffy hair-

Edmund: *starts going deeper into sleep, having one of he most relaxed sleeps he's had in a LONG time... mostly and only because of the singing

[Deleted]

Rhia: so ed, we're going to stab our creators right?

Ed: Repeatedly. And then rig them up to explosives

Rhia: I can make it so they heal a little bit after and we make them explode again

Ed: This plan is a go

[Deleted]

I present to you: THAT night aka the night that changed everything

Edmund: *is walking back from the forest and then sees the gigantic gathering... which just so happens to be in direct line of the forge* >.>

Jaycee: *trots out after seeing edmund*

Pluto: -sends Zombies back down- that is it his temple is now going to be haunted! Until I feel like letting it go

Edmund: *toomanypeople, tries to work his way around him without being seen so he can go into the forge*

Mors: -nods at Charlie and Lyn-

Kvothe nods towards Felicity. The child then does a quick hand motion to draw a sword out of thin air. Taking a weak fighting stance continues his approach.

Felicity: Just try not to get in trouble with Lord Jupiter, Father. *sees Edmund and walks over* Hey Ed

Pluto: -spots edmund- GROW A BACKBONEAND JUST WALK THROUGH IF YOU WANT THE FORGE SO BAD!

Lyn: - looks away from Charlie and people, see's Ed past Mors and runs to him-

Charlie: *to kvothe* your stance is horrible, you won't be slaying the dung beetle let alone a zombie. // Jaycee: *looks quietly at everyone*

Edmund: [Felicity] Hi. [Pluto] *is completly unaware that it is a god and suddenly turns around and throws a dagger at his chest*

Felicity: *tries to stop Ed....fails* no, Ed.....*squeaks* Thats my dad.

Edmund: Does it look like I give a damn dranchma?!

Pluto: -glares at Edmund- YOU HAVE JUST MADE A GRAVE MISTAKE!

Lyn: -stops in place when Ed yells and starts crying-

Edmund: *snorts* Like I haven't made one of those before

Kvothe gives a look at charlie and strengthens his stance before huffing and approach the zombies some more.

Felicity: *pales* No, it doesn't but.....he might.....*goes quiet again* // Neptune: *walks next to Ed* Did you just attack my brother son of Vulcan?

Pluto: Mors you might want to start the paperwork now.

Charlie: Wait lord pluto... *steps inbetween them* Edmund isn't ....HE's...... *to mors* please. HE's a pain in the ass, but he's a good kid.

Edmund: [Neptune] I am a son of No One, Fish Brian

Mors: -looks at Charlie, looks at Pluto- "Perhaps a punishment that does not involve immidiate death?"

Pluto: -ponders- Hmmmmm

Charlie: please, lords, he's .…

Felicity: Father...Ed, he's my friend. Please...*no confidence in this* // Neptune: He's a pain in the butt demigod. Just get rid of him already.

Mors: "Or slow death, preferably one that does not make the child die"

Edmund: *glares at Charlie* A royal pain who can't make half a**ed items worth ****

Kvothe drops his sword as it disapears into thin air again and then goes to read a book.

Charlie: *glares at ed* no, he's a pain in teh ass but he's a good soldier and he's got a good heart. It would be a discredit to rome to loose such a fine soldier

Pluto: -smirks- hmmmm -begins to ponder punishment-

Mors: -looks at Charlie then at Edmund, makeing his voice leave him so he can't dig himself deeper in trouble-

Neptune: Just do the boy though. We can make a brotherly game! //

Felicity: Ed, you're worth more than that Ed. Trust me.

Edmund: *rolls eyes and opens mouth to retalitate but can't talk* *shakes head at Felicity's statement and just glares defiatntly at Pluto/Neptune*

Charlie: She's right edmund. you are worth so much more. You might not think it, but you are.

Lyn: -trots up to the gods after wipeing tears from her eyes- "Please don't hurt Ed."

Felicity: *whispers to Ed* Well, if they go after you. I'll protect you no matter what. Even if you dont want it. // Neptune: *looks at Lyn* This one needs to grow a back bone and become mroe Roman.

Charlie: *to pluto and mors* if you have to punish someoen, punish me. I'll take whatever you are planning on doing to him. I'm his centurion and I take responsibility for his actions.

MB: *flies into the tree, Ed's voice coming out of it's internal speakers* If I remembereed how to laugh, Jolly and weingarten, I would be by now. I don't know which to find funny. You saying that crap or me believing you for a millisecond when it's all obviously untrue. Just shut up

Pluto: -smiles- I shall punish both!

Mors: -sighs and takes the silence off Ed since it obviously didn't work-

Charlie: He is my responsibility, I will take his punishmet.

Edmund: Seriously? You're a weak pain in the a** if you have a problem with me, you take it with me. Not my commanding officer! *to Pluto* [Charlie] I AM NOT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY YOU IDIOT. You are not taking something that you don't deserve.

Lyn: "Then punish me! Anything you can throw at me. Ed is my favorite, and Charlie is super awesome too. Why do you pick on them?"

Neptune: *snaps fingers and MB is in a ball of water* Hopefully that will make it short circuit. // Felicity: Ed....do you want to go to the forge. Just ask....soon.

pluto: ALL RIGHT ALL OF YOU SHUT UP!!

Charlie: shut up simmons, get your hide to the forge, you have work to do. *to pluto and Neptune* I am his officer and he is my responsibility. I will take his punishment.

Neptune: Move out of the way Jolly. *jumps at Plutos yell* // Felicity: *flinches and quiets super fast and looks down*

Edmund: I am not going into the forge, Charlotte Mackenzie! *glares* And you are not freaking taking responsibility for me

Mors: -head sinks down as he sighs and facepalms-

Edmund: [Pluto] Mors already tried that imbicile. It didn't work

Lyn: "Ed is needed here, you said yourself I am not a good Roman so anything is fine. I will not be quiet, especially when asked so rudely!"

Neptune: *snaps fingers and is holding Eds tongue* That kid is annoying. // Felicity: *scared from Pluto and Ed yelling*

Charlie: *stands stone faced between neptune and Edmund* for oncei n your life simmons, just listen to me.

Mors: -sighs- "Neptune that is disgusting." -pulls a baggy out of his jacket-

Edmund: *and doesn't have a voice anymore* *glares at charlie and shakes head*

Charlie: *glares at edmund, not moving* just...do...it.

Edmund: *will not be moved*

Pluto:_rubs temples and rounds on Charlie- I shall punish you and the annoying one! You get punished because as his leader you should be controlling him better! It reflects poor leaderhip! The boy will be punished for striking a god!

Neptune: *tosses tongue into baggy* // Felicity: *walks up to Pluto* Father. Leave them alone. Please. Both are my friends. If you do anything to them, I swear on your temple and my life. I will destroy you and anyone who helped with this punishment. *determined look*

Charlie: do what you wish lord pluto. *looks at felicity* no, don't.

Edmund: *takes out his exacto knife and is still standing there, glaring at everyone*

Felicity: No, Charlie. You don't. If I can wipe out half the legion I think I can handle a few Gods, or I swear I will die trying. *unsheaths sword*

Mors: -puts listeren in the baggy-

pluto:-glares at Felicity then rubs temples- Fine! The two shall go free for now! However Felicity this is your last favor I will grant!

Charlie: Felicity, this is my decision. I stand by it.

Edmund: *eyes Mors warily but stands his ground*

Felicity: *still looking at PLuto with full confidence* Fine. *sheathes sword* // Neptune: *sighs* I guess that means the brat gets his tongue back. *snaps finger and Ed has atongue and disappears*

Mors: -walks to Edmund- "It is best if you go to the forge now." -snaps Ed's tongue back- "I appologive if there is still a fish taste, I did attempt to be rid of it."

Pluto: for now neptune. He is not protected forever.

CHarlie: *tightens grip around her sword, preparing for the worst*

Edmund: [Mors] *glares and sitll does not move*

Felicity: *turns* Stand Down. Charlie. He said he wont do anything right now. PLease, resheath your sword. I dont want my best friend to attack my father.

charlie: *lets it go, knuckels still white*

Edmund: *still looking akin to wanting to murder and is standing still with an exacto knife*

Mors: "It would be greatly appriciated if either demi-gods or gods dispersed at this moment." -turns to speak loudly and looks Ed in the eye after wards-

Pluto: -rounds on Charlie stern serious look- I may not be punishing you.But you seriously need to be a better control them! I seriously doubt your leadership skills and how you ever became his commanding officer is beyond me.

Charlie: I regret to inform you lord pluto, but Edmund is teh greatest challenge I've ever come across.

Felicity: *punches Pluto in the face*

Mors: -facepalms and sighs- "No, please continue to conduct yourselves in such a plesant manner."

Pluto: -is punched- You dare to strike me?! After i promised not to touch them!

Felicity: yes. You were angry when Mars spoke ill of me but now you speak ill of his daughter. How are you any better. I get that the Gods are all powerful, but you all need to learn how to associate and respect the demigods to. If you hate us that much dont have us.

Edmund: [Mors] Better get punched than do nothing! *glares at Charlie and opens mouth but then looks at Felicity and face drops into nothingness* Weingarten! Drop it.

Lilith: Felicity!... *looks around as she got into that scene*

Charlie: *clenches her teeth, setting her jaw tight*

Mors: "Would it help to punch someone? I don't see how it can."

Pluto: -glares at Felicity- I was merely stating as a leader the actions of her group reflect on her skills as a leader. If she can't control her cohort then what use is she in the leadership position?

Lilith: *bites her lower lip trying to find a way to help her friends. Looks at Mors and then back at Pluto and her friends*

Felicity: how would you know how she treates her cohort. You have been here one day. Met only one person in her cohort. If you really want to learn about the people and leadership that is here then stick around more. All the Gods should. You expect us to respect you all and praise you all but the gods never come to see us and know us. Why should we even claim to be related to you?

Charlie: no felicity, do not sacrifice your relationship with your father because I am a crappy centurion. My father is right. My only place is behind a man.

Lilith: *frowns* that is not true Charlie!, you are an amazing Centurion, I would be so honored if I could serve under your commands!

Mors: -rubs his temples- "I will not allow my emotions to get the better of me." -breathes deeply-

Charlie: no, if the gods have so said, it must be true. I will resign my command when I find remus first thing in the morning.

Pluto: -sighs- Charlie wait!

Edmund: If you resign the gods win. You're a damn good centurion and don't let them tell you otherwise. *turns around, and gibbs slaps the back of her head before stalking into the forest*

Lilith: *shakes her head, looks at Mors then at Pluto* gods aren't always right Charlie!

Mors: -drops his hands as his eyes turn pitch black- "I am sick and tired of all this whining!" -shadows all around darken-

Felicity: Charlie, I swear, if you resign I will force REmus to make you a centrurion for life. Who else would I want to defeat in battle>

Pluto: I will give you one more chance. My Daughter does have a point. I was only her one day and i do not know how you handle the rest of your cohort. So I will be watching more.

Lilith: *stood silent and looked at Mors*

Charlie: *watches Mors closely* fine. I will not resign... for now.

Felicity: *looks at PLuto* You won't be disappointed. She is better than remus at times too, just wait and see. *looks at Charlie* You won't resign until you retire out of the legion

Charlie: then I'll make sure to not dissapoint

Mors: -bites his tounge- "Stop saying that." -attempts to speak calmly to Felicity- "Do not compair people like that. Everyone has his or her own strengths. To say one is better is rude."

Pluto: -turns to felicity- I will only do this once! If by my sticking around more I deem her not worthy you will not argue with me on punishment -stern look-

Felicity: Sorry Mors. It's just personal opinion. *looks Pluto square in eye without flinching* Debatable.

Charlie: I will take whatever punishment without a word against it

Mors: "Lord Pluto leave the camp be, if she is a bad centurian they have goverent themselves enough to know how to deal with it."

Pluto: -sighs- Fine mors I will no longer dabble in mortal affairs.

Lilith: Felicity, charlie, calm down... we all need to chill before this goes further.

Mors: "And please visit your daughter more often so these mood swings decrease."

Pluto: Fine!

Charlie: I can gaurentee I will not dissapoint you.

Pluto: -turns to charlie- It is no longer of my concern.

[Deleted]

Mars yelling at Mors after he found out Charlie and Mors are dating.

Mars: WHAT IN THE DEPTHS OF TARTRUS AND EVERYTHING HOLY ARE YOU PLAYING AT YOU DISEASED RIDDEN DEATH BALL?!?!

She's my daughter mors! Not your little play thing. I know how gods are, Hell I am one. You gonna love her and leave her like everryone else? next time you get chained to a rock, call mercury. *prods mors's chest hard with his finger*

Sorry I own 1/3rd of these posts. This is 14yr old Rhia, and 17yr old Remus

Rhia: -month maybe after the battle of othys sleeping with a book on her face under The Tree-
Remus *still getting used to his new job, walks up to Rhia and kicks her foot to wake her up*
Rhia: -pulls book off her face- "Yes?"
Remus: Shouldn't you be at training, Warlow?
Rhia: "Shouldn't you be pushing papers Stone?"
Remus: I'll be pushing you off a cliff if you don't get up and pay a little more respect.
Rhia: "Right, let me do that" -puts book back over her face-
Remus: Get up. Now. Last warning.
Rhia: -says nothing-
Remus *snatches the book of her face and aims to his her with it*
Rhia: -catches the book- "Hey don't disrespect the books!" -makes sure pages aren't bent-
Remus: Books? You're worried about a stupid book? You should be considering the case for your own hide about to be tanned. Get up.
Rhia: -glares at him, but stands- "Like I care about you supposedly 'tanning my hide'"
Remus *smirks* Supposedly is not the right word to use for it. And they say that reading increases intelligence. I suppose here we have living proof that it's wrong.
Rhia: "Obviously you don't know the difference between street smarts and book smarts. Probably from lack of the latter."
Remus: Obvious you don't know the meaning of common sense either. Like respect for your superiors in a military camp. I am your praetor now. Remember that.
Rhia: "I see no reason to respect someone because of a title."
Remus: Then you are no Roman. Now get to training. The war may be over, but that doesn't excuse anyone.
Rhia: "How about you try training with fourth cohort and see how well that would prepare you? No I train alone."
Remus: Well I can see it's going swimmingly. Learning to lift book weights with your snoring is very useful.
Rhia: -shrugs- "You never know."
Remus: You stick with your cohort and do your training on your own time. And I believe four is at archery right now. Hustle and I won't mark your records.
Rhia: "Uhhh, I'm going to go with no thanks."
Remus: I'm going to go with, you are edging toward my first punishment case.
Rhia: -smirks- "Edgeing? Well I was hopeing I'd be running at it"
Remus: Good. Then you won't be disappointed. Come with me. We're going to the principia.
Rhia: "Make me."
Remus: Alright. *makes a grab at her, but anticipates her to at least block that much, so aims to kick her to the ground as well*
Rhia: -grabs his hand to twist it behind him, while moveing to dodge the kick-
Remus *through grit teeth* A fourth is not going to beat me. *puts all his power into getting her off balance*
Rhia: -definatly not as strong as Stone, lets him go so she doesn't loose her footing- "I'd sure hope not." -smirks, and step back-
Remus: *takes advantage of her step back and lunges at her, aiming to put her in a head lock if he can, talk forgotten*
Rhia: -attempts to use his momentum against him, and pushes off to the side as she turns not anticipating his streght and sturdyness nearly getting herself caught- "Oh, ho. I might need a spell or two for this."
Remus: *Only loses his footing for a second, but hates himself for that second of weakness. Takes a step back himself and smirks* Bring it on. *attacks again, just trying to get ahold of the annoying little weasel*
Rhia: -attempts to anylize what would benifit her more at first, speed or strength. decides on speed, and mutters her spell ignoring him while he talks. Now has the general speed of a child of Mercury and moves easily out of his way- "Sorry what was that? I wasn't paying attention."
Remus *curses her in latin* You little. Just wait until I get to you. *dices at her again, putting all his strength into it, which might be a bad idea*
Rhia: "You're letting that Mars hot headedness get to you." -smirks while moveing, only has about a minute and a half with this spell-
Remus: *growls at her* You're one to talk about being a hothead. Don't worry, we'll put an end to that real quick.
Rhia: "Others have tried and failed" -makes a move to try and sweep kick him-
Remus *steps back quickly, but is caught by her speed and only just keeps from falling* Well then, looks like I have myself a challenge. Good. *makes another grab for her*
Rhia: -tries to slip away and keeps him from grabbing her, but not nessassarily her shirt-
Remus *grins coldly and grips her shirt like a vice, yanking it to try to throw her off balance, meanwhile aiming to get ahold of something a little better like her arm*
Rhia: -grits her teeth, unable to pull out of his grip she mutters a curse or two herself trying to get his other arm in a lock so he doesn't grab her-
Remus *keeps his grip on her shirt as tight as he can as he does his best to evade her, instead getting it as far from her as he can to bring it around and aim a punch at her chin*
Rhia: -way to close for comfort, Rhia's pretty sure if she can't get away she's going to get beaten. attempts to deflect his punch toward her chin and make a grab for his shirt to throw him-
Remus: *in amoment of not paying close enough attention, she gets a hold of his shirt in return. Well, dang. Little runt was quicker than she looked. He had to loosen his grip on her shirt to keep from falling backwards. She was not supposed to be this good.*
Rhia: -steps closer useing her lower center of gravity to try and shift his balance to throw him to the ground-
Remus *has to take a step back in order to not fall over, though it's a close miss, grabs at her arm or really anything in reach and puts his full weight into it*
Rhia: -curses as he gets a good hold on her, knowing there's no way she could over power him at the moment. Starts a spell haveing to concentrate momentarily on the spell instead of Remus.-

[/color]Remus *takes advantage of her moment of concentration, and not really wanting to be cursed or something, pushes hard against her to try and put her on the ground*
Rhia: -gets the breath knocked out of her so she can't quite finish her spell, grits her teeth as she realizes she's on the ground. Continues to stuggle as he speed spell wears off-
Remus *does his best to pin her to the ground* Give up and life will be a lot kinder for you.
Rhia: -glares at him- "Life won't be kinder just because of that."
Remus: *smirks* Well, at least your punishment will be.
Rhia: -can't really do much when pinned, growls slightly- "Doesn't matter"
Remus: Then you'll be a good little delinquent and come with me to the principia. *grabs her upper arm, gettin gup and yanking on her arm to get her up with him*
Rhia: -tries to wrench herself out of his grip-
Remus: Give it up, Warlow. I warned you already and you didn't listen then.
Rhia: "Warn all you want Stone, it won't make me listen to you." -tries to twist his wrist into a lock-
Remus: *feels his wrist twist and twists right along with it to try and slam his elbow into her collarbone*
Rhia: -feels his elbow slam into her collar bone, greatly dislikeing the slow feeling she gets after her spell wears off. Grits her teeth as she feels the pain spread through her bones, letting go of his wrist-
Remus *watches her without a hint of pity* Five weeks. Clean the mess hall after every meal. Starting today. I find you're slacking on that, it'll be ten times worse. And this insubordination is going on your record. Good day, Rhia.
Rhia: -snarles- "Don't call me Rhia."
Remus: Deal, Warlow. No skin off my back. Now get to training.
Rhia: "I'm better off without that weak cohort training."
Remus: Well then do something to make yourself useful. You're still a soldier here.
Rhia: -smirks- "Oh, like how you're so useful?"
Remus: Without leadership, this place would fall like a rock. You're proof of that. Now if you'll excuse me, I have work to get to. And you have your own training to get to. *abruptly leaves without another word*
Rhia: -rolls her arm now that she's free- "Yeah, right." -doesn't go to cohort training-

Remus and Zidane double teaming on Felicity because of her insanity

Remus *sitting in his usual spot in the main office of the principia*

Zidane: +Flashes into the principia and walks through to the door into the main office, looking extremely disheveled and sleep deprived.+ Ah.. Hey Remus.

Felicity: *outside the principia looking at the note....debating, walks into the principia. Looks at both preators*

Remus: Hey Zidane. You doing ok-... *looks up as Felicity enters* Ah, Felicity. Thank you for coming.

Zidane: Ah, yeah. I just haven't had a moment to stop since-- +Stops, letting out a breath as he turns to face Felicity, his face turning slightly hostile.+ Felicity.

Felicity: No problem.... I think. *studies Zidanes hostile face and opts to stand more on the side of the principia Remus is on*

Remus: Would you like the honors then, Zidane? You seem to have a better grasp on things currently. Unless you want me to.

Zidane: +Is at his desk in a flash, sitting on top of it, not
bothering to keep his speed in check, a tired smirk crossing his face a moment as he tracked Felicity moving away. Good. Let her know he meant business.+ Ah... Okay then. Felicity, I recieved some disturbing revelations about some things that I have every reason to believe you to be involved in.

Felicity: Disturbing revelations? And what makes you think that I am involved in them? Listening to the rumor mill again are we?
Remus: Felicity, hear us out. This is serious.

idane: +Smirk grows into a very tense smile.+ I've been listening to the rumor mill a long time, Weingarten, and I have done nothing about what I've heard. But unfortunately, we had a report of a nature that we cannot deny. +Watches her for her reactions.+

Felicity: *smirks* And what nature would that be exactly? A lost of people like to drag my name through the dirt. Not everything is accurate you know.

Remus *glares hard at Felicity* What part of take this seriously do you not get?

Zidane: Alright then. I suppose I'll get to the point. I and Remus have reason to believe that you mean the members of camp and your own quest-mates bodily harm. This is something we can not look the other way about. +His leg is tapping agitatedly against the desk along with his fingers.+ And what reason would they have to drag your name through the dirt, Felicity?

Felicity: *eyes turn into a hard glare* I am taking it seriously. I'm defending myself! *glares at Zidane* Why the heck would I want to hurt my quest-mates? Thats stupid. Gee, why would they want to run my name in the dirt? daughter of Pluto, that incident last summer, and... *looks at Remus, knowing he knows* other reasons.

Remus *sits back and watches her, expression unreadable*

Zidane: +Lips press into a hard line and he matches her glare.+ Defending yourself? With what evidence, besides supposing in your speech that you take me for an idiot? As a praetor, I've been watching your behavior. I've been writing report after report about things that I've seen your name connected to. And I know you haven't been very careful with sharing your plans because I had a report last night of an alarming nature that you felt them expendable for designs and that you have this... This Notion that you should be helping saturn. SATURN. Now look me in the eye and tell me these are false allegations.

Felicity: *cold stare to Zidane* Helping Saturn, yes. THinking them expendable, no. Whoever you were talking to clearly had their information flawed.

Remus: Then care to explain to us why you've taken to mental and physical damage to your peers? I know you know what I'm talking about. It's not like there are few cases of it.

Zidane: +Laughs, the sound coming out a little hysterical.+ Even to help Saturn is something that we can't take lightly! What the hell makes you even think that's a good idea? +Looks to Remus, gritting his teeth.+ And there are those; glaring evidence that not only will you bring harm to your peers, but that you already have been.

Felicity: I think I've already been talked to about most of those issues. No reason to bring up the past. *crosses arms*

Remus: Humor us.

Zidane: I don't think you understand the point. Your track record gives us little reason to believe that you wouldn't harm or kill campers for your ends. and you propose we ignore that?

Felicity: *falters for a quick second* I had my reasons. End of story. I've already explained myself for this. Why don't we just get to the matter at hand. What is the real reason that I'm here, besides to go over my track history?

Remus *leans forward on the desk* Felicity, Weingarten, you are going on a quest. You will no doubt be presented with chances to make or break this quest. We are giving you fair warning. If we get the idea you have poor intentions in any of this...

Zidane: +Looks at Remus, then back at Felicity.+ Wait. I haven't been explained to. Tell me now why I shouldn't take you off of this right now and hold you for betrayal to the camp. +Leans forward, his eyes narrowed.+

Felicity: *smirks* Because *in a mocking tone* I was hand-selected by the Gods to complete this quest. *end mocking tone* *looks coldly at both of them* Don't worry, your precious campers will be fine.

Remus: And how can we be sure of that?

Zidane: +Laughes.+ And I should believe you? What you're failing miserably at doing here is convincing me that I shouldn't just-- +Bites his tongue and changes direction.+ You're not building a strong case except mocking and regurgitation. And you have failed to explain yourself to me. Someone want to fill me in?

Felicity: What? Your other half *nods at Remus* didn't fill you in? That must suck. *scuffs* And here I thought the preators worked as a unit.

Remus: Felicity, this is not the time for games and taunting.

Zidane: +In front of Felicity in a flash.+ I am asking YOU. Not Remus. Not anyone else. I am speaking to you and I expect you to respect an order to tell me yourself what the hell is going on.

Felicity: *smirks* then you best be prepared Quinn. *sighs* I've been helping Saturn, went down to Tartarus and put Humpty Dumpty back together, stabbed two campers just so they would leave me alone because they were getting too close, and I was told by Saturn to give him the relic. Now, I won't harm your precious little campers because that isn't my task. My task is to get the relic. Nothing more. The only way they could ever get hurt is if they get in my way. Pretty crystal, stay out of my way, and I won't hurt you.

Remus: WE have reports of an attack on the camp itself in the future. What do you know of that one?

Zidane: +Derisive snort.+ I don't think you understand what that means, Felicity. Being under the thumb of saturn means that if he tells you to murder campers, I don't know that you wont do it. Want to do, compelled to do, and being forced to do are all very different things. You already stabbed two campers which I should have you removed for right now,. In fact, I want to know why you haven't been dealt with more harshly thus far. And you don't seem to understand that the rise of Saturn probably means that we're all going to die. You, me, the campers, the humans. Do you get that? Do you even understand what the hell you think you're doing with this?

Felicity: No, no one is going to die! It isn't going to come to that. Theres no attack planned on camp. Its just against the gods. I swear on the styx! I don't want to hurt anyone......

Remus: You don't want to, but you realize this may come to a point where you will have to choose between him and the camp. And soon.

Zidane: How can you even think that an attack on the gods wouldn't only have consequences on us as their CHILDREN, but that teh camp wouldn't be involved? +Throws his hands up.+ please tell me you aren't that stupid.

Felicity: *shakes head* No.. It's not going to involve the camp. I won't allow it! I .. *looks at Remus* I promised you I wouldn't let it come to that. *looks at both of them* It's not stupid if it possible. The gods can be taken down without involving the camp.

Remus: Felicity, many here support the gods. They will not let this happen without a fight. Surely you realize that.

Zidane: Nothing that involves the gods does not affect the camp, Felicity. We are their children. And not only that, but how can you think that Saturn wouldn't just get rid of us if we weren't useful anyway? I hate to point this out, but you don't have the ability or say so to stop Saturn if he chooses that. Your promises are more or less unbackable and what you do and how you help Saturn will spell the end for us that much faster.

Felicity.... *silent not sure what to say, having an internal debate*

Remus *calmly* Felicity... there might still be time to avoid this. You just have to want to. We'll back you if you do. We just want to make sure that this doesn't come to war. Saturn isn't the type to avoid bloodshed looking at his history.

Zidane: +Grimly satisfied that she's quiet for a moment.+ And you need to understand that if we have an inkling of you betraying the camp, and you bring harm to them... I will not guarantee your safety. You have to understand that if you're trying to feel something, if this is about whose child you are, what you're doing right now is only proving to everyone that you are exactly who they thought you were.

Felicity: *looks sadly at Remus* But.. I can convince him.. he needs me. He'll listen to me... right? *gives Zidane a look* If anything its because I don't want to be that gods child. I hate the gods. They ruined my entire life with their selfishness.

Remus *gives Zidane a brief glare. He had a feeling Felicity needed something other than being told she sucked at the moment, looks back to her* He controls people. He says what they want to hear. His type are everywhere. He's just the best at it. Honestly... I'm not sure anything can convince him away from what he's after. And are you sure you know what that is? What it means?

Zidane: +Snorts at the both of them.+ I'm just not being naive. Which I'm sure comes as a shock to some people. +Sighs and relaxes against the desk, letting them talk, chewing his lip as he resist saying something about parentage.+

Felicity: He wants the relic... I told you that. He said it was what we needed, to go against the gods. He said the gods have no idea what they are playing with. If its that powerful should the gods really have it?

Remus: Should Saturn? I know you don't trust the gods. But think of the last time he tried to come to power. A lot of people here died.

Zidane: +Chokes on a laugh, tactfully turning it into a cough.+ And you think Saturn is the best person to hand that over to?

Felicity: *gives Zidane a look at the "cough"* No. I'm still debating on that. He said he wants it, I get that. But .... I don't know. I've been doing some thinking myself. What if neither the gods or Saturn had the relic?

Remus: Then what are you suggesting? That the camp hold on to it?

Zidane: If it's that upsetting and bad, why are we even going for it at all? Why not forget about it? +An eyebrow was raised as he put his face against his palm and leaned into it.+

Felicity: Because we aren't allowed to say no to the gods. But yeah, have the camp hold on to it. Technically we would have succeeded in the quest. The artifact will be retrieved, just like it was asked. And this way neither Saturn or the Gods will have it. I'll lie to Saturn or something.... *thinks* I'll figure something out.

Remus: And if it's so powerful, who says we can control it either? No, I almost agree with Zidane on this.

Zidane: What do you think the gods AND Saturn would do if they found out we betrayed them? If whereever it is is inaccesible to both, why can't we just leave it alone? Make a case to the gods they're better off not even letting saturn have the chance.

Felicity: Because Saturn won't give up. Do you think just because you two decided to not have us do the quest he will give up? He'll keep sending everyone he has there. I'm not the only one. If the relic is here you two can guard it better, I'm sure the gods could understand that. But I won't let the gods have that relic. So its either you continue with the quest and go with the idea of it being safe guarded her or you don't and Saturn keeps trying to send people there, possibly to their death

Remus *sits back, silent for a moment* Zidane, I believe this topic needs to be discussed in more detail on our own.

Zidane: And what's to stop him from taking your whole crew and killing you, too? You don't want help from the gods and you're playing with fire. You have no protection, and having it here puts us under fire from both ends. +Sigh, rubbing his eyes, clearly stressed.+ Sure, yes fine.

Felicity: Making him believe everything is going his way. All until the end, where I will tell him that I failed. Simple as that. *shrugs* You win some you lose some. *looks at them wondering if she is dismissed*

Remus: Felicity, you are dismissed. Thank you. Zidane, why don't you get a bit more rest,...?

Zidane: +Sighs.+ You should too. But I think I'll be more rational after a nap.

Felicity: *nods at both of them before leaving*

Remus *gets up* Sounds like a plan. *nods back to Felicity and leaves to try to get some sleep that he's sort of been neglecting*

[Deleted]

I just think Chris/ Felicity convos are adorable!!! Plus, not a lot of people get to see this side of Felicity.

Felicity: *sitting in her tree, thinking, also playing with some shadows, making them into shapes of animals and having them run around the tree

Chris: *walking back brom the onstacle curse all covered in mud, blood and bruises* why so lonely?

Felicity: *looks down at Chris* Why so dirty?

Chris: *smiles at her* obstacle curse and some Mars and Bellona kids that thought that it would be really nice if they could beat up a Jupiter son. *drops himself on the ground right in front of her*

Felicity: *looks down at Chris* Are you okay? You don't seem okay... I'm taking you to the infirmary. *climbs out of tree, all the shadow animals disappear*

Chris: tired... *frowns and shakes his head* Cos, when was the last time I went to the infirmary?... *breathes deeply* no thank you. *he did had a broken rib and maybe a sprained wrist, but nothing that would put his life on the edge*

Felicity: The last time was the last time I forced you to go to the infirmary. Looks like I'm doing that again. No, do I have to carry you also?

Chris: Felicity... sit down. I'm fine ok? do you really think a bunch of Mars and Bellona's could harm me that bad? they're still in on the obstacle's ground feeling the electricity running through their bodies. *smirks*

Felicity: Hey, Mars kids can be a pain, especially if they can't control their temper. *sits next to him* I just hate to see you so beaten up.

Chris: *smiles and nods* I know... I still remember when your boyfriend used to train with the cohorts... that was an amazing sight. *smiles a bit more, then breathed deeply which sent a pinch of pain on his right side* they will always want to see if they can be better than a big three one, you know?

Felicity: *looks down at the mention of boyfriend* I guess.

Crhis: *frowns* hey... the ones beaten up here it's me... why it seems as if you were the hurt one?

Felicity: *looks at him* You need to go to the infirmary. *shrugs* I just had a rough night is all.

chris: when my life is on the edge, I'll go to the infirmary, there are others who need the attention more than me. *places his dirty hand on her soft one* did he... hurt you? what happened? *his voice changed, now seemed threatening, no one was allowed to hurt Felicity*

Felicity: *semi-glares at him* You need just as much attention as them! You're not invicible. *sighs and shakes head and looks down at his hand* No... he didn't hurt me. But the praetors double-teamed me. Apparently they caugh word of out private chat. *studies Chris looking for a reaction.*

Chris: I know... but if Jupiter isn't going to pay attention to his gods because he is a pompous jerk, I will take care of the children of them... it is my responsability. *smiles at her then sighs listening to her but frowns in pure surprise when she told him why they double-teamed her* how? there were only you and me...

Felicity: No it's not. You don't have to. *studies him* Exactly.... which brings the question. How did they find out Chris?

Chris: yes I do... I'm not a jerk like Jupiter. *frowns a bit more then focus on the other topic* I don't know... and if you're suggesting I betrayed you, then you need infirmary more than I do. *looks down to the ground*

Felicity: *quietly* I don't think you betrayed me. *deep breath* Chris... I'm not going to give Saturn the relic. I don't want to hurt anyone and I don't want to lose the people I care about, you, Remus, Ed.... *shakes head* I can't do this anymore... it hurts too much.

Chris: *looks back at her with surprised look* Felicity... if you don't give it to him... he WILL kill you... *then he shook his head and hoped she didn't mind the mud and blood, he passed his arm over her shoulder and brought her close to him* Felcity, you know I care about you... more than just a cousin... you're my sister... *he kissed the top of her head* can you... deceive Saturn... just for a while... I'll think of something... *saturn would love to have the son of the god who sent him to tartarus... right?*

Felicity: No... no, he .... he won't kill me. I'm too valuable to him. *leans into him, hiding her face* No. I'll decieve him during the entire quest then I'll talk to him once I come back. Don't you dare take my problems from me. I can handle it. *looks at him* Trust me. Please.

Chris: *he wanted to shake her, to yell at her to tell her how fool she was for thinking like that, for trusting the titan in the first place, but he also knew she didn't need that* We're demigods... he sees no value in us... no more than only being tools... that's it... *he whispered and then breathed deeply, the pinch on his side didn't bother that much* I would never dare to do that... *he said with a sad smile on his face* I trust you... just... be safe ok?

Felicity: And I'm a pretty powerful tool. He won't kill me. I'm the only big three demigod he has. Even if I am just a tool, I'm valuable. *nods and tries her best to show an optimistic smile, despite all her worry* I'm always safe. Don't worry. Just don't go about making any problems when I'm gone. Oh, and make sure you go to the infirmary when you have to like, like now. I'll be totally okay. You'll see. I'll come back from the quest unhurt, then I'll take to Saturn, one on one. I'll tell him whats really on my mind. I'll tell him I failed. I'll be safe. You'll see.

Chris: *he scoffed. even when she was the only one he had, she wasn't the only three big kid that was in camp... Cassie, Clare, Alistair... himself* ok... *but then smirked and rolled his eyes* oh come on! what kind of problems could I make? *he looked at her with an innocent smile, then he frowned again* I've told you, unless I'm dying I won't go to the nfirmary... and you better come back from that quest and from talking to him... safe, healthy... alive!... if not he will find out why gods trust us on their stupid quests... he will find the son of Jupiter... ok? *he wasn't upset, just worried about her* and I'm sure there is a son of Mars that will go with me on that.

Felicity: *hugs him softly, because she suspected he was more banged up then he was letting on* Don't..... Don't go after him. Please. I don't want you to get hurt. If something happens to me it's my own fault. You don't have to get hurt because of it. Neither does Remus. I'm not worth it. You two could focus on more important matters, like the camp and the campers. That should be the priority. Not the insane daughter of Pluto.

Chris: *he had to swallow a gasp of pain when she hugged him, she didn't mean to, he knew it, but he had more than just a rib broken. He listened carefully to her words and closed his eyes clenching his fists, that sounded as if she wasn't really thinking to come back, but what made him snap was her last words* ok... *he pulled back and put his hands on her shoulders, kneeling in front of her* listen to me Felicity... you may be an insane daighter of Pluto... but you worth more than a bunch of sissy legionaries... ok? if you are doing this only because you think you don't, then you may sat back and let others do it... becauseif you're facing the king of the titans like that, you're gonna lose for sure... *he was really upset now*

Felicity: *silent for a moment. letting his words sink in. Backs away from Chris* I'll be fine.

Chris: *frowns and punches the ground, then got up and walked to the tree, there he grabbed himself from the trunk and breathed deeply looking away, not a good idea to get up like that* you're so fu+++ng stubburn! *he only cursed like an irish when he was really mad*

Felicity: *flinches slightly at the punching of the ground, got off the ground* I know... but, I'm serious. I'll be fine. I won't let you, Remus, Ed, or anyone else done again. I promised each of you that I'll come back.

Chris: I know that kind of promises... *not looking at her. remembering when his sister died protecting him, she promised the same thing*

Felicity: *silent again, deep breath* It'll be for the right thing.

Chris: *closes his eyes and shakes his head* it's not right if you die... you should have told me when all of this started...

Felicity: Not right? Even with all the wrongs I've done? I stabbed a kid! A little kid! I've lost it! I don't even know who I am anymore. *shakes head* No... I thought I could have handled it.

Chris: *looks back at her holding back the tears he sworn he would never shed in front of her* you are my sister... that is who you are! Can't you get that in your head? *he shakes his head* aye! you stabbed some people... I've electorcuted some people and not because I wanted them safe away from me... but because I just lost it! *breathes deeply and swallowed anther gasp of pain* so NAI! it's no right if you die!

Felicity: I've lost it more than once. Last summer with my powers remember? But this time.... this time is different. I've lost my sanity. I am always filled with hate. I ... *chokes back a sob and takes a deep breath to try to continue holding back her own tears* I deserve to die. I don't deserve the people who care about me. I don't deserve to be at camp anymore. I don't derserve any of it. The best place for me is down in the Underworld, deep in the darkness of Tartarus, thats where I belong.

Chris: *scoffs* do you really want this to be a contest? *remembering the campers he killed in Othrys with his last lightning. But when he heard her words he shook his head slowly as he walked back slowly* Nai... all of us have lost sanity at least once... if not, remember how your boyfriend left that poor forge kid... *he wrapped her with his arms and brought her closer* no one, not even the gods deserve that place... even less you, who really cares about others... I mean... you are the only one that forge kid talks to... the one who made him talk... only a pure soul could have done it... you were the only one who supported that Mors's granddaughter, without you she would have just committed suicide... without you, I would have fallen in tartarus myself long time ago... so please... stop thinking like that, Felicity.

Felicity: *silent for a long time, just enjoying the hug, letting the words sink in* You're just saying all that to make me feel better...

Chris: I'm not that nice... remember? jerk in camp... spoiled lightning prince... *he smiled and sighed trying to make her understand how special she was for the ones who cared about her*

Felicity: .... You're not a jerk, and you're not spoiled.

Chris: mhm... *he said and opens his eyes* you are important... ok? just don't ever talk about dying again... and not just hide it, really believe it, ok?

Felicity: *just looks at him, because she honestly believes that she will die soon*

Chris: *knows her look and just smiled saddly at her* are you in the mood to see your beloved friend Jason Kyoto? *he said in a sarcasm trying to change the subject, he didn't want to talk about that, no more, not in that moment. He would face Saturn when the inevitable happened*

Felicity: *scuffs* No. But you are. C'mon Lightning, you have a date at the infirmary.

Chris: *frowns, she was the only one he allowed to call him like that* Ha-Ha... ok Shadows... ok, lead the way... *knowing it was for the best, let everything cool down a bit*
