her words caused him to pause, thinking before opening his mouth again. “the curfew won’t keep us safer. we’ll just be sitting ducks until the monsters figure out how to break into our cabins… we need defenses. lots of them.”
“You’re simplifying the idea of us staying in our cabins. It’s not as though we can’t fight the monsters in the cabin. We can work on defenses while being close to others. If people are more spread out then how would we help each other?”

juniper jakobsen… as much as nova’s soft side is more present around her, she is an interesting one. every one has secrets to hide and nova thinks that the daughter of hecate is an entire field’s worth of them — there are times when nova catches herself squinting her eyes momentarily when the other speaks. confusion, yes, but to ask questions is to be curious. sue her for wanting to know juni, then.
she nods, a teasing smile. “yeah. the city — big and scary new york city.” nova has had plenty of years of practice putting on faces. being sick to her stomach because of other factors ( the diet coke is the last of them, she knows that ) doesn’t exempt her from her number one rule: never flinch. this is how these games are played, after all. every move must be calculated, make others think that you’re on their side — all this just to fool them. “don’t worry. it’ll only take a couple of minutes. we won’t be long,” she raises a brow, then. “as long as we stick to heavily mortal populated areas, i think that might be enough to cover our scent.”
nova doesn’t wait long for a response before she starts walking, every step leading her farther away from the camp. it somehow lessens the pain — perhaps, twelve years has only made her grow tired of this place. resentment, first as a seed and planted in her heart to grow every year she added another to her roster. “come on, juni.” she calls over her shoulder, “better get moving.”
there was an aching in the back of her stomach. maybe the echo of a warning. it wasn’t surging through her body, like she’d felt before. the strongest warning of danger she’d felt proceeded a particularly horrible event when she was twelve. when the people she’d grown up with had tried to drown her. something had been off the whole day inside of her. it was like her body had been trying to warn her of impending doom. in the end, it wasn’t this warning which had saved her. it was a thunderstorm. she felt rain start to sprinkle at first. when they’d first managed to drag her into the water, she’d felt the water start to sprinkle on her skin. she’d started thrashing when the sky seemed to break open. juni heard them mention something about lightning. they said they’d come back to it once the storm was over.
but what she was feeling wasn’t nearly as bad as that. it occurred to her that she was feeling a bit nervous due to the fact that she’d hardly left camp since she showed up. camp halfblood made her feel safe, so it shouldn’t be a shock that she felt off at the idea of leaving it. nova’s explanation made sense, so she nodded and took off to catch up with her. “okay, okay.” she murmured, appearing at nova’s side a few moments later. “we’ll be back by curfew, anyway. so no harm done!”

the daughter of dionysus is well-aware of the plans: introduce and execute stricter policies and attempt to fix what might as well be permanently broken. teeth bite the straw of her diet coke with an apprehensive glance at the barriers, the backs of other campers as they took up chiron’s orders like good soldiers. she can feel today’s breakfast making its way up before — another sip of her cola.
standing by the hill, nova watches as silhouettes come and go. like a hawk, she searches for her partner-in-crime for the day and her familiar stature pulls her lips to a smile. “you’re here,” though she takes her time to finish her drink — juni is free from her unkind grasp, but not entirely. “good. we’ll have to stop by someplace in the city for a little something about our bit on the barriers — maybe we can even make it into a field trip?”
getting the barrier back up and working was top priority. it wouldn’t work if they all went at it individually, so a collected effort should do the job. specifically pairs. juni was set to work with nova, a person who certainly brought a certain amount of life to whatever they did. that was something juni could appreciate. so she got ready for the day normally. clad in a tan dress adorned with sunflowers and a pair of boots, she set off to spot she was supposed to be meeting nova at.
curls bounced behind her as she skipped, a playful hum escaping from between her lips. today would be a good day, she could feel it. she spotted her hair first, a bright spot which looked almost painted against the sky from the angle she was at. “the city?” she nearly choked on air. “as in...not here? isn’t that sort of dangerous?”
the taste of iron (EVE + JUNI)

“We need to get him somewhere safe– well, safer,” Eve called out, hefting her arm up to get a better grip on him. “As far from here as we can get before he gets worse.” And that won’t take long.
She pushed her fear down as far as it would go, until she couldn’t see the shadow of it looming over her; until all she found within was light, glowing white-hot.
“If you can keep watch until we find somewhere a little more secluded, we’ll be alright. There’s this place by the lake – we’ll have a good view of them before they get near, and hopefully, they won’t think to follow at all. It’s towards the broken oak on the left side of the shore from here.”
Eve began to walk, careful and as quick as she could manage, carrying someone else; knowing full-well time was of the essence. Outside, the darkness was haphazardly broken by the remnants of fire and the glow of demigods battling in the distance, inhuman snarls sending a shiver down her spine. “Juni,” she whispered, plying the air like a steel string, “incoming!”
juni understood the urgent need to get the young man somewhere else. the state of seriousness was written not just on eve’s face, but to juni’s eye as well. he wasn’t doing well, and the longer they stayed where they were...the worse he would be. juni abhorred violence and general discord. her heart had always been in tune with the earth in a way that allowed her to see past or through those things. but there were times when you couldn’t do that, and now was one of those times.
sometimes you needed to act, no matter how frightened you may be. at the sound of eve’s voice, warning her of impending danger, she turned. a monster was coming towards them, a look of blood thirst in it’s eyes. “moveo,” she said in a quiet but firm tone. the latin rolled off of her tongue with ease, sending a large amount of debris straight at the creature pursuing them.
jo: so what the actual fuck just happened
how does it feel knowing this home is no longer safe? just like your old one?
“You can’t compare them- that’s not fair. The people here don’t think I’m dangerous or evil. Everyone from my old home thought I was a monster. They didn’t know what a real monster was, but everyone here does. So if the monsters come back, we’ll fight them together. Instead of them trying to drown me in the lake.”
do you agree with chiron's new rules?
“yes!”
“well, no? actually kind of. i get it, and i think everyone should listen to and follow the rules. but i understand why they don’t want to. i just feel like we should maybe listen to chiron for the moment.”
how to you remain so optimistic?
“i just remember all of the beauty the world has. like sunsets. or butterfly gardens. or people coming together in times of stress or chaos. that for all of the bad that goes on in the world, there’s a billion other instances of good.”

“Junebug!” he greeted with a laugh, rushing forward and enveloping her in a hug, nearly picking her up. Man, he missed her. He missed all his sisters, but Juni was the first he saw, so she would get the excitement first. “Surprise! I was going to come back a few weeks from now, but I missed this place and I’ve been tired of things finding my show and ruining them, so here we are.” He let her go finally, shrugging his backpack on his shoulders more and giving her a smile. “So what’s happening, what’s been going on since I left. It’s been like… nine months, I think?”
Seeing Nathan made Juni’s day that much brighter. Things, truthfully, had been tense the last few days. Ever since the party she couldn’t seem to shake the idea that they were constantly on the verge of attack at any given moment. An idea which wasn’t explicitly untrue. It was hard not to dwell on it. Harder yet to not let it consume her thoughts. But if there was one thing that Juni had become good at, it was compartmentalization. Just like the trauma she’d endured as a child, she’d stow this away until it came time to use it.
“It was alright...” Her voice trailed off. It had been alright, until it wasn’t. Until a monster attacked the party and killed a camper. “Until the party. The party was...not so great.”

hana had a vast list of books she wanted to read. truthfully that along should be enough to distract her and keep her in her cabin but hana didn’t want to fall into a routine, not at night either way. “i mean there are tons of things you could do but i prefer to spend nights outside. i’m a firm believer that the nights were made to stargaze not to be waste inside but maybe that’s just my heritage speaking for me.” she mused, a smile forming in her lips.
the excitement in juni’s voice amused her. she couldn’t relate to what the other felt. whenever she entered her cabin she headd straight to her room and tried to avoid as many of her siblings as possible. “draw?” that was one option she had not considered. “i dont really have talent for it so i’m not sure if it’ll be fun to me.” after all how could anything be fun if she failed at it? “can you draw?”
“well, the night is absolutely beautiful. you’re right about that.” juni had fond memories of sneaking out of bed to go look at the stars. before running away from the group she’d grown up with, she’d been a bit more rebellious. but it was done as a means of survival. whether physical or emotional. she had to escape somehow. but after she’d run away, she found no need to do those things. it made her feel bad to disappoint people. one of the only perks of growing up where she did was the fact that the night sky was clear almost constantly. “i used to look at stars when i was younger a lot. never knew the names of them or anything though.”
“i’m not the best or anything, but i’d say i’m pretty good.” artsy related things were definitely more up juni’s alley than physical related activities. she much preferred them over sparring or the like. they relaxed her. “you just have to work at it, and you’ll improve. it might take a while but you’ll get the hang of it.”

“you know what? fine, fine. you’re right. i just don’t think chiron should be treating us like children. we’re been taught from a young age that monsters were after us…. this shouldn’t be a shock.”
“i bet that kid who died at the party would want a curfew. it’s not a big deal to have to stay inside after 9 pm. there are plenty of things to do. all of them are better than being dead. so what if we have to go inside a bit early. if it means people will be safe then that’s what should happen.”

nova remembers and knows juni easily — being one of the few younger campers that she cared for with a sincerity that’s both rare and unlike of her. she shrugs her shoulders casually, “i’ve been busy cleaning up.” the mess left by the party, by the breach of the barriers. she sighs, “it’s… going. though, i’m not the best at cleaning but someone has to do it, right?” the daughter of dionysus playfully nudges juni. “it’d be nice to have helping hands.”
cleaning was something juni hadn’t been a fan of when growing up. mostly because she had almost always been stuck doing it. while boys her age were able to go out and play, she’d been stuck inside cleaning or cooking. there had been many times when, tired of the relentless routine, she’d snuck away to get out of cleaning. that hadn’t ended well, but in her mind it was a worthy decision. one that only further showcased how much she truly did not fit in. now that she was older, and cleaning hadn’t been forced upon her, she wasn’t so opposed.
“i can imagine what a task that would be.” the party itself had been wild, but what ensued after had been worse. “i’d love to help you, if you still need it.”

‘ it’ll be forgotten in a week , y’know . some other big fuckin’ drama will jus’ pop up an’ everyone will think you’re fine again . i still think you’re pretty damn good , kiddo . ain’t your fault . ’ jakub shifts a little , leaning forwards , placing chin in one palm while the other lifts to pat companion’s shoulder with a hum , ‘ want somethin’ to eat ? i got snacks . make y’feel better . ’
“thank you,” she said with a crinkle of her nose. though the reassurance didn’t fully assuage the unpleasantness of both the meeting and the latter portion of the party, it did make her feel a bit better. her eyes practically lit up when he mentioned snacks. it wasn’t difficult to get into juni’s good books, but snacks made it that much easier. “yes! i’d love a snack.”

“the rules were made to try and keep the gods off chiron’s ass, if they even care. i’m not gonna be confined to my room like a child.”
“is your blood sugar low?”
“because you’re sort of acting kind of mean and i don’t really think i deserve to be treated like that.”

It was good to be back. It really was. Tour was great, sold out shows and dealing with a magic debunker that couldn’t figure out his tricks - and tried to come up with explanations for the ones he used real magic for. But no one was going to believe it was real, which was the best part. Nathan wandered into camp, taking in the smells and sights of his favorite place on earth, wandering further into camp and seeing a figure walking towards him. He squinted, seeing a figure walking towards him and gave a cheerful wave. “Hey!”
as soon as she was able to figure out who exactly the person in the distance was, she let out a loud squeal. one that caused a few other campers to jump in surprise. juni picked her pace up to get to him more quickly, hugging him the moment she was close enough. “nathan!” to say she’d missed her brother would have been an understatement. any time one of her siblings left the camp she felt a bit of sadness. but with her brother touring all over the world, she knew she could only be so sad. “you’re back! i’ve missed you so much.”

“i hope they do listen,” she nodded. it wasn’t often that arwen was all that serious, but safety was of utmost importance to her. even more so when it meant the safety of her family. “just make sure you listen to him, that’s all i can expect of you. none of us can make anybody else follow orders. are you feeling okay…about everything? i know the cabin was empty that night with me running josephine to the infirmary. i should have checked in with you and made sure everything was alright.”
“i was thinking we could have game board nights. and movie nights. and baking. and all sorts of stuff to make sure everyone has fun and is okay.” she was also thinking about suggesting sock surfing or something fun like that. but those seemed to be enough for right now. plus, she really wanted to make sure arwen was okay. “i was fine, arwen. i hope you didn’t worry yourself.” she said, her voice soft and reassuring. “how are you? did you manage alright?”
