Move and Shake

"I figure we’ve got about twenty minutes or less before something smells us so let’s make this quick.” The son of Poseidon led his quest partner through the empty streets of Shelter Island, a signature baseball bat hoisted over one shoulder as though the pair of them were off to a late night round at the batting cage. Perhaps they could use that excuse should a mortal bother to stop them at this hour. “Have you ever fought something before or should I just start accepting that I’ll be doing all the work on this group project?” @bonebouquets

“I’ll never let go, we deserve better than that —- fuck off, Cole. We’re busy right now. And excuse you, I haven’t made a fool of myself for at least three hours.” Thane sighed, pulling his free hand through his hair about to argue the blonde thing again, until a broad grin plastered his features. “Ahhh, carpet matches the drapes. Good to know, good to know. — No it’s not fucking candy, what’s with you two vultures? Get your own. You can’t take everything that is good from me like this.”

“Three minutes is more like it,” Carter muttered. He was grinning now though, arms crossing over his chest as the three of them stood together. Reaching out a hand, the son of Ares swatted at the back of Thane’s head; a warning shot. “Keep your mouth shut.” His eyes shot to Cole and he raised his eyebrows, motioning with his head towards Thane. “I’ll hold him down you grab the candy?”

"I see I’m clearly interrupting a case of unrequited love. When will you learn, Thane? Your mother was right, you should pick a demigod of doctors or lawyers. Not this piece of trash who’d take you once from behind and throw you out of bed right after; you’re too good for him. Three hours seems like a high guesstimate.” Cole nearly guffawed at the slap to the back of his best friend’s head, enjoying this little scene far more than any outsider might. “Sounds like a plan to me. This is what happens when somebody’s raised without manners, they become so greedy.”

What was finally a peaceful moment in camp turned into a moment of horror as Victoria jerked awake, eyes widening at the sight of Cole so close. Shoving back, she sat up and gave him a glare that could rival one of Hera’s. “What the hell, Cole?” She groaned, rubbing at her eyes. “You’re such a piece of shit.” Reaching down, Victoria grabbed a handful of grass and tossed it at the boy who’d both grown up with and raised her.

"I’m simply enjoying some fresh air, what’s gotten into you?” As if he didn’t know that his own aggravating presence was enough to spur such a reaction from the girl. Tormenting her had always been half the fun of their sibling dynamic and she never failed to provide an entertaining reaction. “Ah the sounds of your adoration never fail to make me all warm and fuzzy inside. Have a nice nap, cupcake?”

“Not if I burn you badly enough.” Dark hues narrowed the more she looked up at him and perhaps. if looks could kill — “I do not want to know about how incompetent you are unless you’re getting handsy, Cole. I take care of all my things, it’s hardly my fault if you’re idiotic enough to go out of your way to be the thieving little rat we all know you can be. — Give it back.”

"You wouldn’t dare,” he smirked with every hint of arrogance in his body coming out full force in the curves of his lips. “So you’d rather find out in the sack than out? That’s different and can be arranged. Clearly you don’t take care of them well enough, which is a real shame. I’m not thieving, just unabashedly curious. I’ll give it back when you tell me what page the entries about me are on.”

Sawyer chuckled slightly. “No shit. But yeah, you could find him there. You guys off to do something?” she asked, trying not to sound too hopeful. She’d been training so much lately, she hadn’t done much else with her time. “Think you’ll need another partner in crime?”

"Figures, the man doesn’t know how to do anything other than play with his sword.” Cole resisted the urge to chuckle at his own innuendo. “Just wanted to cause a bit of mischief with him, Thane’s meeting me soon." At her question, he shrugged nonchalantly. “I hear your dear brother was instructed not to feed into our shenanigans if he wants to stay here... Which means we might have an opening today.”

“Bullshit it’s a walk of shame.” She crossed her arms. “Who were you walking from? Because unless I missed something while I was gone, Erah wouldn’t be into you, Achilles has a boyfriend, Eli does too, and you’re not Kai’s type.”

"That is awfully presumptuous of you to pretend as though you know your siblings’ bedmate preferences. Or should I say startling? You might not want to tell them you’ve been keeping such close tabs on their sexual appetites, sends the wrong message. And last I checked... I don’t answer to you.”

“I suggest,” Rennie began without looking up from the book that sat in her lap, “If you’re not all that interested in losing your hair to a pesky little fire,” It wasn’t an empty threat, the tiny spitfire had.. several times set people on fire for bothering her. “you take your filthy little hands off my stuff.” A sharp glare lifted beryl hues from the old and worn pages for merely a moment to ensure her threat was clearly understood.

"Hair grows back,” he chuckled whilst turning her little book over between deceptively cautious palms. “I’m a hands-on learner, this is how I explore my surroundings. Maybe you should take better care not to leave your things lying about where thieves can steal them. You’re lucky it’s just yours truly and not somebody from the Hermes cabin; really this is just the perfect time for you to thank me.”

Having spent her morning at the Cybele temple, both saying a prayer to her mother and spending some extra time meditating, Victoria felt a sense of calm filling her as she walked through the camp. She had no real destination in mind, but was happy just to be out enjoying the fresh air. Finding a spot on the green, the young demigod took a seat and settled in. The grass was warmed by the sun and she found herself laying out on it, retrieving a book from the bag against her side. The book didn’t make it open before Victoria’s eyes began to droop and she felt asleep on the ground.

If there was one thing Cole adored more than the lava wall or swordplay, it was taking every available opportunity to aggravate his sisterly figure until she all but begged for him to leave. Sinking down into the grass beside her at an angle, he shifted so that his face could catch a glimpse of her own when he spoke in the most obnoxious whisper-shout possible. “Sure is peaceful out here today! Oh, you’re sleeping aren’t you? Keep getting that beauty rest, Aphrodite knows you need it.”

Cordelia walked into camp, glad to be back. She’d had some fun, but it was time to go home. Cord put her bag down on the bed and sighed, hearing someone behind her. “What?”

Cole had vacated plenty of girls’ bedrooms in his day and the subtlety of it was long since lost on the son of Poseidon, especially now as he slowed his leisurely pace out of the Enyo cabin to pause at the sound of a calling voice from one of the rooms. “What what? Can’t a guy do the walk of shame without being accosted?”

sawyerwarrior:

If Sawyer bled after a training session, she considered it a successful one. She was just cleaning out her wounds, something she was used to and quite enjoyed, when she heard someone come in. “What’re you staring at?” she glared at the intruder. 

"A head wound,” he retorted smugly, pointing out the obvious with as much annoying childishness as possible. “I’m looking for your brother, but that’s probably a fruitless endeavor. Let me guess--- you left him back in the combat arena.”

“Bull shit. Don’t act like it never happened, Carter. Don’t reduce us to nothing. Oh piss off, I could pull it off. I mean, I’m not saying I wouldn’t look like that, I’m just saying I’d still look this good.” His features scrunched up slightly as if alluding to the obviousness of that statement, “You’d love it. I’ll bet Ophelia isn’t even naturally that blonde. Bitch has been lyin’ to you this whole time. What a snake.” Holding his hand out of Carter’s reach he shook his head, “You’re such a child, you snatch and you get zapped again, fucker.”

“It was nothing. And now, it’s time to let go. There are plenty of other pretty people out there for you. Pick one of them.” Carter pursed his lips. “Nah, man. You couldn’t pull of the blonde, I’m telling you right now. It wouldn’t work. And trust me, Ophelia is naturally that blonde.” Pouting as the candy was once again kept from his reach, he grunted his annoyance. “Boy, you better give me some of that damn candy before I make you regret being such a tease.”

"Now what in the world could you two ladies be bickering over now? Has this idiot gone and made a fool of himself again? Figures.” Sauntering towards his two closest friends, Cole nodded towards the son of Zeus’ hand. “Is that candy? Sharing is caring, Thane. Don’t be such a selfish little brat.” @thanderxlightning​

“How amusing…” Nora stated with a flat tone. “A lot of things are not fair, playboy, but you can always try and prove me wrong. What makes you more special than the rest of them?”

"Thank you, it’s nice to be recognized. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’re really hoping that I might do just that. Why don’t you come a little closer and find out for yourself?”

bandagedknucklesandbloodiedlips:

“The worst? Probably. But I said some of the worst, and as much as I know you’d love to bed me, I don’t swing that way, bud. And even if I did, I do have standards.” Carter scratched at the side of his face, noting he’d need a shave in the next day or so. “Listen, I’ll fight every fucking Harry Potter fan out there and kick ass those nerds’ asses.”

"See? Some self-reflection is always a good thing. Oh how will my heart ever cope with this rejection? Please tell me your standards aren’t Thane... Then again he’s closer to blonde than I am so I do suppose he’s more your type. You’re a champion for bullies everywhere.”

“It’s to listen to the lungs, heart rate, intestinal tract and blood flow in peripheral vessels. See… I’m here to help people out. If you’re just here to mess around, I suggest you go and please let me do my job.” Cara said, a bit of a humorless smile on her face as she stuffed the stethoscope into her robe pocket. “Any pains or problems you actually need to report?”

"Sounds like a whole lot of covering to me, but it’s fine. I’ll let you slide, Miss Walking Anatomy Textbook. I’m always trying to mess around, the location doesn’t really matter. Oh come on now, there’s only...” Cole pivoted to glance around the infirmary. “Like three people in here. The supply vastly outnumbers the demand. A couple actually, but I’m not trying to get slapped.”

diala--sinclair:

@cxleking

Diala is mostly exhausted from training all day and would happily love to sit in a bathtub and soak in near boiling water for a good half hour. Instead, she walks into her cabin and sees a face that both makes her annoyed and a strange feeling in her chest that she’s very tempted to carve out herself. “Cole.” She says as she gives him a hard stare. “Carter isn’t here around this time. You should know that by now.”

The prank he’d just left behind for one of his oldest friends would surely earn the son of Poseidon a decent black eye come tomorrow, but gods was he practically thrumming with amusement over it. Three ices, one Carter; he’d be drunk within an hour. Happy belated birthday indeed. “Diala,” he addressed the woman with a signature mischievous smirk adorning his features. "And who says I was looking for Carter?”
