Fantasy When Olympus Burns

[Moolock]

Shifting through forms wherever it best suited Kira to move about her cabin, from grabbing her basket of makeup from a high shelf as a bird to scuttling under her bed as a cat to get her shoes. Finally, with everything gathered in one spot over by her mirror, she slipped on a very light set of chest and one-arm chain mail, and her dress for the evening over it. The soft silver and grey gown with her flat-heeled boots gave the appearance of a moonlight-traveling warrior. The dress itself was practical with some fancy flairs. Next, she braided back her flyaway hair until where everything joined and went up into a bun.

Now that the dress is on and laced up, Kira realizes with a scowl that she won't be able to shift... that would be embarrassing if she suddenly disappeared into the folds of the dress... Taking a few moments to gather her confidence and a few moments more to find her tea mug and guzzle the now room-temperature drink, Kira finally steps outside and blinks in the sunlight.

With a long sigh, Kira stepped back to put her empty mug just inside the doorway, then she headed down the steps and went to wander the island for the evening.

The Oracle
​

As all these new people showed up, the Oracle realized one thing as she was held up by Mason. She liked Gaige and Ruina, was inbetween about Mason, and disliked Finnegan since he was kind to her. Gaige seemed like a serious interrogator, something they would need to get information out of her. Ruina was simply ruthless, something she loved especially. "Are you taking me to y-your base now? To lock me up in a cell and starve me until I give you answers?! You filthy rats, I'll never give you anything you want. No matter how much torture you put me through, I won't give in to any of you." ( Skaggon Dirtbear Verdas Totorokoro )

Blue
​

Blue was about to continue but his phone began to buzz in his pocket. Expecting it to be possibly something from Rhea he shifts his position and reaches into his pocket, pulling out his phone. He begins reading the text out loud since she figured she got the same one. It would save her the time of getting it anyways. "Shit, we need to get off the ship." Blue sounded upset about that, he did want time alone with her after all. "We can't miss the Hydra now can we? It would take forever to get back on the ship." Blue puts his phone back in his pocket and stands with Aurea in his arms. He begins leaving the ship and looks around for the Hydra, finding it immediately. He stands near the railing of the ship and whistles, catching Pocky's attention. The Hydra head reaches out and scoops the two on its body. The Hydra continues to wait on the shore for any other allies. ( Verdas )

Selene
​

She rolls her eyes at Fia's joke, slightly smiling at well. Though when Fia brings up Blue not always being an asshole she went silent. There would be only one reason why Fia knows that. She had to know before anyone else at Full Disclosure did. Selene bursts into the bathroom, eyes hungry for the information. "Really now? That would be great to bring up and I wonder why you'd know this. Please do tell, I'd like to know before you bring it up at the table. You know how I like being in the know before others." ( Baconhands )

Rhea
​

As she was talking to Xavier she noticed Kira in the distance, wandering about in a dress. It seemed like the memo of this dinner got around fast. She raises her hand and waves for Kira to come over, giving her a bright smile even underneath the night sky. She was in the castle courtyard, sitting with Xavier at a small tea table. "Kira! Please join us I have a lot to discuss with you." ( DizjayDeathPride Moolock )

 

[Moolock]

Kira flinched in surprise at her name being called, noticing Rhea just in time to not notice a tree root in the dimness and stumble over it a few steps in a most unladylike fashion. Recovering quickly- and with a little embarrassed blush- Kira rights herself and walks- well, jogs- over to the pair. She gives a small nod in greeting to Rhea as she slows to a stop by their table. Noting Rhea's companion, Kira nods to him as well.

Must. Take. a break. x.x

FINNEGAN BROWN​

"Ah! Are you okay, Finny?!" Ruina asked. Finnegan didn't particularly enjoy that nick name, but he saw no point in arguing over it. Again. He drew a deep breath and let out a sigh, "I'll be fine." He said, an inkling of a smile visible on his lips. Maybe.
There seemed to be a message back from HQ, something about dinner. Finnegan remembered that his phone was now broken- courtesy of his clumsy caretaker. I should go get it fixed, he thought as he made his way back to the ship. Upon seeing the Hydra, Finn realized that it would definitely be better than taking the ship. For one, it was much faster; and it didn't sway as much.

ELIAS SACHETS​

A dinner party? Elias smiled softly as she read the message. It was nice that Selene was hosting it; and she just couldn't get enough of Rosemary's cooking. A sudden sway of the Hydra's head caught her attention and Elias sat up to see it going towards Blue and Aurea. "Hi," She bleated softly before scooting away to give them some space- should they want to sit on Pocky's head like she did.

[EDITED TILL LATER]

 

[Alecto]

AVICE
Location: Sword Beacon >>> Hydra
Interactions: Hydra( Light ), Jayden ( AnthonyWrath ), anyone else

Alecto couldn't help but snort when Jayden insisted that he was fine; her hands moved swiftly as she finished tying up the support, "Yeah, you're not fine. I'm no trained medic, but that looks far from alright to me, Jayden." She didn't comment when he said something about smoking, busying herself while she inspected him arm further as he rummaged around his pockets. The disappointment in his voice had Avice's attention snapping away from his arm to him, jerking back slightly in surprise when she realised that he was now face to face with her.

The daughter of Strife raised an eyebrow at Jayden's question, "Can you imagine how much Rhea would freak if she sees you? She'll probably lose her head about Finnegan's lack of arm already, so let's not add to that, shall we?" She shrugged, and began to pull herself up only to have the Hydra pick her and Jayden up.

She didn't flail her arms when the Hydra scooped her up and deposited her onto its back, thank you very much. It was just a weird, surprised jerk. It wasn't flailing, okay? Oh who the fuck was she kidding? She flailed. She didn't quite like being picked up, and that was the second time today. What day was it? 'Pick Avice up and watch her trash about like a fish out of water' day? How about 'Let's not give Avice any warning before doing anything' day? Bad enough that the soreness from the cut on her stomach was still there despite being healed; the breeze that came along with the movement had Avice shivering slightly as she settled on the Hydra's back. She shook her head and murmured curses to herself as she looked over to Jayden to see if the movement aggravated his new injury further.

"Are we still waiting for anyone else?" She moved her gaze from person to person to check if anyone who hasn't left already was missing, eyebrows furrowing.

 

[Baconhands]

Fia looked at Selene as she burst into the bathroom; she'd intended for the sentence about Blue to be a part of the joke, but there was some truth to it. Her head turned to face the intrusive girl, and as she spoke she scratched the scars on her forearm, "It was just a joke, Selene. That was all; it was part of the joke."
She didn't exactly want Selene to know the details about what had gone on between herself and Blue - it was a personal topic that she didn't exactly feel needed to be shared with everyone else. Fia quickly moved to change the subject of the conversation as she started the last few steps to dyeing her hair, "So... what do you think about Finnegan? What challenges do you think are going to come from the aftermath of this mission?"

[AnthonyWrath]

Jayden "Shachath" Fuertissimo
​

Jayden was thankful to Avice for fixing up his arm as best as she could given the circumstances at hand, before he got the chance to thank her the Hydra had pick him and the others up to put on its back. He tried his best to keep balance but couldn't and ended up landing on his already broken arm and ribs," goddammit I guess this is karma coming back at me." Jayden said gritting his teeth from the pain.

When the pain finally got easier Jayden looked around to see Avice making sure everyone else was safe. He knew he'd thank her when he's stronger, for why would a child of Ares acknowledge the weak and injured when there were those who hadn't made such stupid decisions. So Jayden decides to remedy his foolishness, especially since his Pandora was gone the one thing he treasures most, for under the feeling of all the pain there was a frenzy of panic swirling through his mind. He knew he needed to get Pandora back, so Jayden attempted to stand but immediately fell whence got to his feet. Seeing that this method wouldn't suffice he decided his only option was to use his one good arm to help his crawl towards pocky's head, no one would be able to deter him from this path for his determination and will were iron clad and unstoppable.

The Oracle
​

As all these new people showed up, the Oracle realized one thing as she was held up by Mason. She liked Gaige and Ruina, was inbetween about Mason, and disliked Finnegan since he was kind to her. Gaige seemed like a serious interrogator, something they would need to get information out of her. Ruina was simply ruthless, something she loved especially. "Are you taking me to y-your base now?

Gaige laughed. "No I know exactly what would torture a butch like you. I'm gonna read you Shakespeare until your ears bleed." She looked at the others. "Let's head back guys." She climbed onto the hydra with excitement. "Show me something amazing." She said petting one of the heads.

Demon swam out of the lake after he recovered physically. He checked his phone and saw the selene message. "Why not?" He grabbed his thing and walked to his living quarters. When he got there he put his stuff down and texted selene. "I'm down with the game. Where do we go to meet up." Light

Mason

Interaction: Skaggon Light Verdas
Location: Forest edge; Hydra's back
Open for Interaction?: Yes

Mason looked at Gaige with annoyance clearly written over his face. Mason's half-sister, though even if she wasn't he would consider her the only true family he had now. His blood raced through his veins and the rage was battling against his need to remain calm. His skin's temperature rose, the radiating heat enough to make the Oracle's skin contact with his quite painful. Gaige's words were irritating Mason. He was supposed to keep her safe. Alpha's command or not, Mason was going to keep Princess Oracle safe.

"It's nothing, Gaige. Don't worry about it. It's really none of your business anyway. Why are you even here? Go away. She's not going to be interrogated by you, crazy. Take that nonsense elsewhere." Mason said as he shrugged Gaige off.
​

The Oracle spoke of some things that made Mason begin to question what the monsters did to her. Was this why she was calling him a monster? Was he going to be the one to torture her? She was the Oracle, after all. This threw his emotions into deeper turmoil, the color under his skin flowing as the blood in his veinydrs travels at an increased pace.

"I suggest you stay quiet, Princess Oracle, please. For your sake and for your safety." He struggles to say with sincerity.
​

Mason was struggling to keep his emotions in check. The Oracle was getting under his skin. He didn't know why. Not even Blue, the resident asshole, could get under Mason's skin this way. Could have been that she spoke the truth. Or it was because he felt what she was saying were true. Mason was unaware at the heat he was giving off, unintentionally bringing harm to the person he's trying to keep safe. A true hero Mason was.

The Hydra had began picking up the others and one of the Hydra heads went in to grab him. He wasn't sure which one did, truly lost in his own thoughts. He was carried onto the waiting hydra back.

Gauge was annoyed by his response. "Hey birch boy we are assassins. Raised to kill. Her words should have no effect on you. If Finnagin wants to be the noble knight in shining honor then golden boy can take care of the prisoner. Don't stress whatever that birch says. She a dead girl walking. Well you know. Hobbling. Also chill out before you roast her already damaged legs. I can smell her pleasure from over here. And if you have an issue then talk about it when you bottle things up it quite literally effects other's." She kept her grip right on the hydra. She was to happy for the ride to try and let Mason ruin her mood. "Until you have something nice to say don't say anything because I don't want to hear it." She meant it mostly as a joke and really didn't want to be verbally attacked for trying to help.

 

[Verdas]

Ruina
Ruina quickly made her way to the hydra, excited to ride a monster of it's calibre. She giggled almost childishly when it scooped her up. She wanted to break it's heads off to see whether it would grow back two heads or not, but decided to restrain herself. She didn't want to upset Selene, after all. Unfortunately, whether she wanted to or not, her power to weaken others took affect the moment the hydra touched her. She hoped it wouldn't hurt the monster, and attempted to stroke it's head(s?) as gently as she could. "Let's go home, Heads!" She said to the hydra, calling it by a nickname she came up with on the spot.

Aurea
Once Blue started reading the message be received out loud, Aurea realised that she had left her phone at her house. Fortunately Blue was considerate enough to save her some time. It would seem that there would be no special entertainment for today, but that was fine with her. There was always for that later. "Now, now, dear. Don't be upset. As I said before, there's more than enough time to do things later." She gave him a teasing wink at that. She didn't bother to mention how much later that would be.

Kia​

The sound of a bell ring resounded through Kia's room shortly after she finished her routine meditation, causing her to open her phone out of curiosity. There was a message from Selene, which she read without any apparent interest. She didn't bother to heed the blaring alarms in the morning, but now that she was done meditating, she supposed it wouldn't hurt to learn more about what happened. Not bothering the change out of her bed clothes, which consisted of a plain white shirt and her undergarments, she exited her house barefoot, making sure to stub her toe on the door frame on the way out. She decided to make her way to the courtyard. Perhaps the others would be there to explain the situation to her.

Rhea
​

"I can assume your rest went well, especially since you slept through the alarms. You need to wake up once you're alerted next time you're alerted Kira....for matters other than parties." Rhea was scolding her but she still gave the girl a kind smile, as if she wasn't entirely mad. "Why don't you wait for Xavier to finish changing so you both can go to the party together?" After she says this she sees Kia approaching and waves for her to come over as well. "Seems like a lot of people sleep through alarms nowadays. How are you this fine night, Kia?" ( DizjayDeathPride Moolock Verdas )

The Hydra
​

As everyone got on the hydra it left, leaving only Elizabeth and Kristov behind. It entered the water, moving at swift speeds. In about ten minutes time the kids were already across at the docks. The Hydra angled their heads so the kids could easily walk up their neck to the docks. Pocky failed to notice Jayden since his moving around wouldn't be that noticeable to it. It was still night and the Hydra had now completed its duty. Chains began to creep up its body slowly as a portal to the astral plane opened at the sea floor. The kids had limited time to get off the Hydra before they were pulled into the Astral plane as well. ( AnthonyWrath Alecto Dirtbear Verdas Skaggon Totorokoro Noivian )

Blue
​

Blue waves towards Elias and carries Aurea off of the Hydra. "Well before that I guess I have to take you to your place so you can get changed, that is if you're going to dinner. I'll leave you alone this time." Blue gives her a small grin and turns back to Elias. "Hey, I'll be expecting to see you at Full Disclosure later! Maybe you can tell me more about what happened in your squad." Blue nods his head to her and begins walking off with Aurea. ( Verdas Totorokoro )

Selene

​

Once Fia brought up the topic of the Alpha and what could potentially happen next, her face went dark. There was a lot to think about when it came to this. Her phone began to vibrate and she checked it, deciding to handle whatever text before she dealt with the serious topic at hand. 'The castle dining hall.'

Selene looks towards Fia once more, thinking about the type of people who wanted to become Alpha, how many of them weren't very competent, and how many just wanted to dethrone Finnegan for spite. "With how many people here can't think for their own, want to become Alpha themselves, and want to eject Finnegan for spite I'd say Finnegan's chances are quite grim. If someone is smart about this they wouldn't jump on the impeachment bus immediately just from this offense. They'd use this opportunity to slowly discredit Finnegan in the long run and boost the overall opinion of themselves. Banking on Finnegan making another mistake or the people desiring their own leadership skills over Finnegan's own, that person would then nominate themselves for Alpha at a later time on the basis of rebellion or an impeachment. The way it stands now and the type of way Finnegan will handle this, he's doomed unless he has serious outside help. Why do you ask?" ( Baconhands Skaggon )

 

[AnthonyWrath]

Jayden "Shachath" Fuertissimo
​

Jayden continued to crawl as fast as he could until he reached just before Pockys head, just then he saw the portal open and chains wrap around the he Hydra." No no no no no NO NO NO!" Jayden yelled as he mustered up all the strength he could and walked off so that he could face Pocky," Pocky I know that I hurt you and Elias, for that I regret I lost sight of things for a moment and I paid dearly for that. So I humbly ask you please return my case and grant me my powers once again before you enter the astral plane." Jayden begged as the hydras head towered over him.

[Baconhands]

Fia's eyes seemed to show some sort of understanding as Selene spoke; she wasn't really paying too much attention to the visitor - she was trying to think of something to say for the game later on. Finishing dyeing her hair, she thoroughly washed her hands before she put in her contact lenses, making her irises an emerald green. She stared at the mirror for a good moment, the chestnut hair and the green eyes had replaced the snow-coloured hair and the aggressive yellow eyes of the wolf... she let a slight smile tug at the edge of her lips, Fia felt human.
"Why do you ask?" Selene questioned her, snapping her back to reality.
"It was just... a question, I guess. I've always doubted Finnegan, he's never struck me as the natural leader of the group... hell, I don't think there is a natural leader in this group." Fia turned fully to face Selene, "I don't see this group having the same Alpha past two, maybe three consecutive missions. There are too many of us that would fantasize about being in charge, too many that would take the opportunity to usurp the Alpha when they show one moment of weakness... and I think the majority of us are so... are so... lacking in loyalty to each other, other than with a small handful each, that maybe we would get rid of them."
Fia paused, sighing and moving past Selene, "Maybe my nature is getting the best of me."
Looking down at the dress on her bed, a look of sincerity took a hold as she looked back at the red-eyed girl, "It's beautiful, Selene. If you're intending it for me, you might have to help me put it on... I don't often go to the formal events." She then looked down at herself, only now noticing the specific underwear Selene had chosen for her, her eyes narrowing into a disapproving look as she looked back up at her comrade, "What thoughts were going through your head when you decided I should wear these for the evening?"

The hyrda ride was short and uneventful, and save for Yuki's pointless talking. Umeko nodded her head when he spoke, but remained silent. When the hydra reached the docks, she stepped off. Umeko knew about the dinner and game tonight, and knew that she would be participating, along with pretty much everyone else. The problem was, she didn't know what was going to be shared. The dinner was more or less clear, but the conversation was overlaid with static and white noise, blocking out anything save for some vowel sounds occasionally. More importantly, Umeko didn't have the dress she could see herself in later tonight. which meant she needed to go find Selene to help her conjure one. Glancing briefly towards the strings, she determined Selene's current location and started walking. Umeko grimaced again, a sour taste filling her mouth when she realized she'd be asking Selene for help. This was going to be both humiliating and frustrating...

Yuki gave Oki a pat as they rode across the water. Keeping near the hydra head he favored made him happy, despite the fact that his sister had rode on the same head he was on, simply because they were close together when being picked up. About halfway through, Yuki decided to check his phone, and noticed the text from Selene. "Huh... Full Disclosure. Umeko, did you..." the thought trailed off when Yuki realized his sister probably more than likely already knew about the dinner party. Huffing, he turned away, standing and stepping off Oki's head when they reached the docks. "... See you tonight, I guess," Yuki said to his sister without looking in her direction much. Giving Oki a goodbye pat, Yuki didn't stick around to watch the hydra sink into the ocean. Instead, he turned to head towards his house, to train with his weapons out back.

​

Blue waves towards Elias and carries Aurea off of the Hydra. "Well before that I guess I have to take you to your place so you can get changed, that is if you're going to dinner. I'll leave you alone this time." Blue gives her a small grin and turns back to Elias. "Hey, I'll be expecting to see you at Full Disclosure later! Maybe you can tell me more about what happened in your squad." Blue nods his head to her and begins walking off with Aurea. ( Verdas Totorokoro )

Selene

​

Once Fia brought up the topic of the Alpha and what could potentially happen next, her face went dark. There was a lot to think about when it came to this. Her phone began to vibrate and she checked it, deciding to handle whatever text before she dealt with the serious topic at hand. 'The castle dining hall.'

Gage hopped off the hydra with a giggle. "That was awesome I wish I could call in something like this all the time." She waved by as it went back to the Astral plane. "I'm gonna go get ready anybody want to join me?" She asked the group who just took a ride with the hydra.

 

[Light]

The Hydra
​

Pocky barely seems to acknowledge Jayden as it was still slowly being dragged into the Astral Plane. Some kids still needed to get off of the hydra's back since its current use was up. Jayden's request wasn't something it was required to do since it wasn't apart of the previous order given to it by Selene. Besides, it didn't want to cough up the food it was working on digesting. More chains started to wrap around its body as time went by. ( AnthonyWrath )

Selene
​

Selene nods her head to Fia's response, agreeing with some pieces of the statement. She looks out towards the front of the house and watches as Umeko's soul grows closer and closer. She kept staring until Umeko reached Fia's house and Selene was curious as to why. Maybe Umeko was here to talk to Fia about the dinner or something mission related. "I'll choose not to answer that, it's up to you to interpret. You look lovely as is anyways so it'll be even better once you get in the dress. Just going to throw this little detail in as well, Umeko is standing at your door. I'll have one of my new pets grab the door and ask her what she needs. Lets hurry and get you in the dress now!" The Spartan king rises from the ground and exits the room, striding towards the door in full battle armor. The summon opens the door and stares down at Umeko. His eyes firm and his stance absolute. "Why hello Umeko! What brings you here? It's Selene if you didn't know." It was quite clear that Selene was projecting her thoughts through the Spartan's mouth. ( Baconhands Noivian )

Jayden "Shachath" Fuertissimo
​

Jayden saw that his efforts with the Hydra weren't going as planned he texted Selene hoping she would be able to help him. He texted,' Selene I need your help, your Hydra is about to be dragged into the portal to the astral plane and it holds my powers and case which are of great importance to me so please help me out here.' After the message was sent Jayden laid on the ground waiting for Selene to respond to him.

"I didn't know that compliments were in your vocabulary, Selene," Fia said, a slight smirk tugging at her lips. It was then that Selene's new pet opened the door and the smirk vanished, replaced by a frown and a short, annoyed sigh.
"Next time," Fia began as she started putting on the dress, "I'd prefer it if you waited for my permission before inviting guests into my home." Her head turned, calling out to Umeko, "If you want to come in, be my guest. I'd request that you keep yourself to the living room and the kitchen, though, just for now." Her tone quietened as her voice was directed towards Selene, "Now, would you mind helping me with this?"

ELIAS SACHETS ​

Elias' ride back home was slightly lesser than awkward. She felt like her presence was intruding on Blue and Aurea. The ride wasn't very long, thankfully. "Hey, I'll be expecting to see you at Full Disclosure later!"
"Huh?" Elias glanced to see Blue talking to her. "Maybe you can tell me more about what happened in your squad." He said. Elias nodded, looking at down at her feet. Ah that's right. I should still tell everyone about the book. Dinner seems like the perfect time.

"Thank you for your help, Pocky." Elias smiled after she alighted the Hydra, "In fact, thank you all for helping us." She waved at the big creature as it disappeared back into the Astral Realm. As Elias turned to head back, a voice held her back. "Elias, a word please." She turned around to find the Alpha, Finnegan walking towards her with less than a relieved look in his eye. Then again, he always looked like that. What did I do this time? She thought nervously as she smiled at him.
Finnegan simply dropped a couple of books and paper into her arms, "You need to work on being in the present. Being clumsy and forgetful will get you nowhere." He said. "... Sorry," Elias said softly as she realised her mistake. In her enthusiasm to play with Pocky, she had forgotten all about the materials that she had gathered in the mission. "Thank you." She said, wondering if that was all. She had expected an earful and got nothing.

Elias looked at his arm and a felt a pulse of guilt course through her, "Your arm!"
"Yes, well it's my arm, so it's my worry. Don't make much of it," He said. If Elias didn't know better, she would've said that it was his way of telling her not to worry. She did feel sympathetic though, but decided that that was not what Finnegan would want. "Have a good evening," Finn said softly. He began walking away before Elias could respond.

"I'm gonna go get ready anybody want to join me?" Gage had asked. In all honesty, Elias would have liked to join, but she was too shy to ask- even though it was an open invitation. The young girl silently retreated from the group and went back to her house.

It was silent, as always. "I'm back," Elias said to the empty house as she made her way back to her room. She wanted nothing more than to sleep, but decided against it for the time being. "I need to take a shower," Elias mumbled into her pillow. She felt rather sticky. After a quick shower, Elias reread Selene's message as she wondered what to wear. She rummaged through her closet, not knowing the answer. "I don't know what to wear," She mumbled. She was never good at dressing up. Elias always stuck to simple casual clothing and wore what was comfortable. Fancy and intricate clothes were never her thing. She did however, have a few dresses. Some of them were fond gifts she kept from her sister (They were actually things her sister didn't need and decided to throw away, ie., give it to Elias) and a couple were ones she owned.

After a while of eliminating options, a pretty blue dress caught her eye. Elias put in on and twirled in front of the mirror. "I wonder if this is too much..." She thought out loud.

AVICE
Location: Hydra >>> Docks
Interactions: Gaige ( Skaggon ), Hydra ( Light ), Jayden ( AnthonyWrath )
Mentions: Blue, Elizabeth ( DizjayDeathPride ), & Finnegan ( Totorokoro )

Travelling on the ship would have been more comfortable, Avice thought to herself, slower but at least then she could have taken refuge from the cold breeze in the lower decks. Didn't really matter now though as they arrived on the docks. The daughter of Strife took the moment to pat at one of the Hydra's neck, just as several chains enveloped the Hydra's body.

Realising that she should get off immediately, Avice hopped off, landing with a thud, knees slightly bent. She straightened herself, ears perking up as she heard Gaige ask if anyone wanted to get ready with her. Deciding that it wouldn't hurt to have someone around in case she needed help, Avice called out to the daughter of Hephaestus, "I'll take you up on th-" Her voice trailed off as she spotted Jayden lying on the ground - rather melodramatically, if you asked her - prompting her to raise an eyebrow.

Right. The whole hydra shenanigan with Elias' book. And the broken arm. "Do you mind waiting? Still have to deal with Jayden's arm, and all that." Should do something about Finnegan's lack of arm too, she thought as she gestured towards Jayden, but the Alpha had already begun walking away and Avice figured he needed his space or something. It was only thanks to Dysnomia's words that the daughter of Strife didn't call out after Finnegan.

"Elizabeth isn't here... Blue, maybe?" But the son of Hemera already had his hands full with Aurea... Selene was probably preparing for the game she's hosting. Although, she's probably the best bet here, considering that it was her Hydra that hurt Jayden in the first place. "For the record, I'd rather be dealing with all the sand in my hair, but since I'd rather avoid an upset Rhea, best get to setting that arm right and fast." Avice said as she once again approached Jayden. They could set the arm themselves, to be honest, but the chances and consequences of failing the realignment was just too much, even for Avice.

Minor edit!

FINNEGAN BROWN​

With every step that Finnegan took towards his house, he felt his emotions in turmoil. He was mostly glad that the mission had gone quite successful and most of them got back safely. There was always scope for improvement, but Finn decided to give the others a break since this was their first try, after all. He felt disappointed with those who struck away from the path and ended up causing more harm than good. He felt incomplete, still in shock over his arm, but didn't know what to do. His mind had begun to understand that it was futile, but his body seemed to still be in shock. He could've gone to the others to have himself healed, but something stopped him.

In addition, Finn felt exhausted and drained. He had taken on more toll than he normally should have, and this puzzled him. His body ached and his arm began to hurt again. He stumbled back into his house and collapsed once the door was shut. What went wrong? Why do I feel so dead? Ah, my arm hurts.

He removed his partially blood-soaked shirt and lay down with his face to the ground, bare chested. I don't want to feel, he reminded himself as his emotions threatened to take over.

Distant barking could be heard and it grew louder as a three headed puppy ran towards Finnegan. Cerberus, or Roast as he called him nudged Finn with worry, one of its heads whining. "I'll be alright, boy." Finnegan whispered, petting the dog with his remaining hand. "I just need to rest..." He whispered, closing his eyes and letting the exhaustion wash over him.

You will never be alright. All you're ever good for is destruction.

Kia​

Once she saw Rhea and the others, she gave them a little unenthusiastic wave as she approached. "Well enough." She replied, not bothering to ask how Rhea was doing in turn. The condition of others was none of her concern, though there are exceptions. "What did I miss?" Although her face had showed no emotion, her voice was icy cold, and her gaze was sharp enough to cut steel beams. She had a straight face despite her current attire, and simply waited for Rhea's response to her question.

Ruina​

After the hydra arrived at the docks, Ruina hopped off it's head and made a dash towards her house which, coincidentally, was directly next to the house of her friend, Fia. Selene stated that this was a "formal dress event", whatever that was supposed to mean. Perhaps that meant she had to wear a dress, since it said it was a formal 'dress' event. Although she didn't particularly like dresses, as they impeded her movement and ripped easily, she didn't mind wearing one for this game Selene mentioned.

Once she had reached her house, she struggled a bit with the half-broken doorknob, before finally getting the abused door to open. She really needed to ask Mason to fix that. Her room was still in a mess of ripped and torn clothing, from this morning. She opened the dresser containing her clothes, revealing even more rips and tears brought about by her passive power. Before she remembered anything unpleasant, she quickly sifted through her clothes, causing yet more clothes to tear, until she finally found a black dress to her liking.

It, like the others, had many holes and tears, but she didn't mind one bit. Some of the holes were in weird places, yet still she did not mind. Blue would probably prefer it that way, though she was not aware of this. It was frilly, sleeveless, and the hem only came down to just below the knees. The dress was airy and comfortable, and didn't impede her movement, much to her liking. This one was perfect. She quickly began changing, throwing her old clothes down in a pile on the floor. She would organise them later.

After she was finished changing, she did a few practice kicks in the air. Retaining her ability to effectively destroy things was still important, after all. Satisfied, the ever present smile on her face grew slightly wider. Since they were back, she decided to give Fia a visit. She was injured when she last saw her, and she was still worried about her. Thus, in her hole covered, frilly black dress, she ran outside her house and immediately began to make her way towards Fia's house, and was woud've knocked on the door if it were not already open. She saw Umeko and decided to greet her. "Hey, Umeko!" She nearly shouted, waving at her energetically. Even if Umeko was rather boring, 'friends' were still friends. In her hurry to check up on her 'friend', she left deep imprints on the ground in her wake. Surely Mason could fix that too.
