AW: Claimed by Gods (English RPG)
Sunset / At the Bonfire
After the campers, who were invited in the big house mingled between the others who were already at the bonfire, rumours began to spread quite quickly. It didn't take long, when everyone knew about the prophecy.
"A quest!", people screamed hysterically, "finally!"
"This is my chance", some murmured to themselves, while others looked frightened by what consequences the prophecy - or worse, to be picked for the quest - would have. As it was Gideon who the Oracle spoke to, the campers either stuck to his side, trying to convince them how handy it would come if he'd picked them, others changed their path, whenever they were about to cross Gideon's.
When the sun finally sunk in the water and left only a very dim light, people wandered of in their houses, well knowing that tomorrow would be an important day, the day Gideon would have to decide who will join him on the quest.
Night / Near Athena's Cabine / Charlotte
It was quarter to twelve, almost midnight, when Charles waited behind the cabin, looking for John. She already stood there for another fifeteen minutes. She hated to wait outside in the dark and relatively cold night, but the strange feeling didn't leave her, it would be bad luck to get there just in time for her arranged robbery-meeting.
When a figure slipped out of Athena's cabine, looking suspicious, she knew her instincts - or maybe her godly power? - had been right. Suddenly she stepped out of the shadows herself, trying to block the persons way. Of course, the other one saw her and changed directions, now running. It did take Charles a short moment of concentration and the unknown slipped and fell to the floor. When he got up, Charles was already standing in front of him.
"Lousy son of Hermes!", she cursed, grabbing him by his arms. "What were you doing inside the cabine of Athena?" The boy did look to his pocket, were a bit of the compass was showing. Charles followed his gaze, noticed the compass. "Your name is Matt... no... it's Jack. Right?", she asked with a harsh, but quiet tone. "What the heck were you trying to do? Steal the compass?" "He stole the compass?", a new voice joined, it was Johns. After a few seconds of irritation, John started to talk, but Charles interupted him. She couldn't risk him to reveal their plan to steal the compass themselves. Instead she had spunn a new plan.
"Alright, Jack. You will give us the compass and we won't tell Chiron and Viktoría you stole it. Do you understand me?" Jack made some grunting noises and Charles' green eyes showed an angry flicker of red. "You do not want to have the Daughter of Revenge herself against you." Still, Jacks face showed he didn't like the idea, but finally he agreed, walking off murmuring worse curses, most of the campers even know.
After he was out of sight, she turned to John, smiling widely, offering him the compass. "Here, it is yours. As promised. And you do not even have to have a guilty conscience." With that, she turned around, walking back to her cabine herself. He shouted a question after her, but she didn't answer.
Night / Adriana's dream / Aphrodite & Adriana
At some point of Adriana's dream the scene shifted. She found herself in front of a golden door. When she opened it and stepped through it, she saw a beautiful woman sitting on a chair, looking in a big mirror framed by little light bulbs. She was doing her hair, a classic updo (dt. Hochsteckfrisur). It was as if her hair followed her will perfectly, as it took her only seconds and not a single strand of hair was not in its place. Then she took a shell and fixed it in her hair. The shell changed its colour from a soft rose to a shiny white as she turned around, facing Adriana. The woman opposite to her was her mother, Aphrodite. While she looked as beautiful and perfect as you could picture the goddess of beauty and love, her eyes looked sad.
"It is a hard time.", she began. "We have to spread as much beauty as possible to keep up against all the ugly in the world. One of my servants, my followers, my friends is gone. Someone took her." Her sad, big eyes focused on Adriana. "You have to find her. Free her, bring her back to me." Adriana wanted to ask a question, but when she opened her mouth, her mother spoke first. "You do not need to ask who is missing. You already know it. You are my daugther. You of all people should have felt it yourself." Even though Adriana at first did not understand what her mother meant, she knew something was wrong. Adriana nodded. "It is one of your Graces, is it? It is..." She thought for a moment, remebered the prophecy and her eyes widened. "It is Joy. Joy is missing." A single tear ran over Aphrodites cheek, when she spoke. "Yes. Joy is gone. Euphrosyne has been captured. And I want you to free her, not this filthy son of my husband."
(Joy is the English name for Euphrosyne. Feel free to use the one you like most. Ah. And Hepheastus is Aphrodites husband. However, she does not like him very much, as she has a not so secret affair with Ares. Long story short: Filthy son of Hepheastus probably means Gideon ;D )
THE FIRST DAY ENDS.
Chapter Two // Splitting Up
Date: 11.06.2010
Weather: It was a warm day, but not a bright one. The sun was covered in clouds and the light breeze had become quite strong gusts of wind (dt. Windböen). By looking at the clouds one might have gotten the impression it might start to rain later the day.
.................
IMPORTANT!
The second day has begun. Feel free to start playing, have breakfast with the others, talk about what happened or do whatever you like. I will give every player a month to inform me if he or she still wants to be part of the game. If I do not get a response until the end of April, I will have to guess the player isn't interested any more. This is very important, as I have to know how many characters will be up for the quest.
