Michio stood in the pantry at the Heliade house, surrounded by nearly stacked shelves of snacks and ingredients. He peeked his head out, a playful smile on his face. "Okay, so which flavor of instant ramen did you want to try?" He offered, holding up two of the packages for his friend to see. "Original, Cheese, or I actually have one called 'Lovely Hot', if you're feeling adventurous." He prompted.

Rae had the door to the shop wide open, hoping the fresh air would get the dusty smell out. It was nothing but a shell of a place; Blank, white walls and cobwebs in the corners. Music was playing from her phone, perched precariously on a small step ladder while Rae was on her knees, scrubbing at the dirty floor. She caught something in the corner of her eye and turned. If it was a stranger she would've let it go, but since it was someone she knew, she leaned back and raised her eyebrows, "If you're just gonna stand there and stare can you at least hand me that mop in the corner?"

Tide pools were the best. Jade had a discovery journal, a camera, a pouch for sea glass and other trinkets (this time he’d found a ring in the foam, covered in algae- how long had it been there, then!?), and of course, a plethora of pockets to store them in. He jumped over a pool onto a rock, miscalculated how slick it was from the seaweed covering it, and slid into the low tide. They scampered out, their leg scratched up from the barnacles but all four limbs still intact, and waved down some passerby. “Ahoy! Have you found anything today? I’d love to trade some wares.” She grinned and patted a couple of her pockets to show off the treasures she’d discovered on this trip alone.

Rear view mirror, check. Parking brake off, check. Looking forward through the windshield? Maybe she missed that part for a few seconds. The song that came on when her truck started up was just so not the vibe, and that seemed a more immediate problem than the vague possibility someone would decide to jaywalk in front of her car while she pulled out of the parking spot. Which they did.

Slamming on the breaks seconds before she could hit them, Devin winced when she could hear her passenger slam against the front of their seatbelt at the sudden stop. "Fuck, sorry. In my defense, I haven't been behind the wheel in like, over a fucking year.

"Ugh." Tomi ripped the page straight out of her notebook, crumpled the paper, and threw it aside. It felt good to do this, a nice release of frustration that let all the tension out at once. School was actually, finally, very difficult for her, and it had just started. She thrived under the pressure and her mind was spinning with ideas. But also, her hand was cramping and she had pages and pages left to dissect. She decided then and there that she needed a break.

It was late evening. Forty-five minutes after her outburst, Tomi stepped out of her apartment in a sleek dress and tall boots, purse draped over one shoulder. She walked with purpose toward downtown. A drink or two, dancing, some nice conversation, then back to her homework. That's what she told herself as she stepped into Nyxx. The pulse of music enveloped her and she sighed, leaving her responsibilities outside. Tomi made her way to the side of the bar nearest the dancefloor and slid into a seat.

Teddy had nothing but a suitcase as he crossed the borders into New Athens, on a hunt for his goal to find the heliad house. It couldn't be in a tough spot at all. He caught sight of someone, "Hi!" he exclaimed, approaching the other in his normal bubbly attitude. "You wouldn't happen to know where I can find the heliad house, would you?" he asked. "I'm trying to get there before I'm spotted, I'm trying to surprise my sibling."

New Athens was totally different than what she remembered.  Granted, the last time Hazel had been here, the town had still barely finished the first stages of building.  She had to admit that there was something refreshing about the place, but that didn’t mean that there wasn’t still a part of her that was crawling at the idea at being back here again.  

Herself and Rae hadn’t told anyone about their visit - Rae had convinced her that it would “much more dramatic” if it was all a big surprise.  Hazel wasn’t really expecting an insane reaction over randomly appearing in town, but she was actually very happy that she wasn’t recognized immediately, and took the time to just wander around town.  As people passed her by, she couldn’t help but glance to see if it was anyone she recognized, and just went back to sipping her coffee as she continued down the road.

“Damn,” Grey muttered as she entered the bar. Her eyes took in all the photographs and Greek memorabilia hanging on the wall. Up until today, Grey had assumed that all the pictures she had seen were concentrated to one specific area of town—one designated pretty place. Now, she was realizing that the Gods had really taken the extra mile to create this town. 

This self-honoring, self-important monument to their own generosity, fueled by their nepotist children who would sacrifice themselves at the drop of a coin for a shiny new weapon. 

Grey rolled her eyes and took a seat at the bar. “Johnnie Walker Black,” she called out, slapping a twenty on the counter. “I take it neat.” She turned her head to the person sitting beside her and nodded. “Sup.”
