Percy left the cabin to go find others and check how the camp held up while he was gone and not making sure everyone did their jobs.
Being left alone, Asher was on the hunt to find Alex. It really didn't take long, it was like he had a radar to find him and be in a position to sneak up on him. He ran up quick and picked Alex up by the waist and spinning him around with a loud and boisterous laugh.
Lucy was sitting outside the Hephaestus cabin with her metal brace lying across her lap and a bag of tools at her side with the young girl working diligently until the finishing gear she was tightening flew out of her hand and went flying away into the air then falling to the ground a good bit away from her which naturally made her swear in greek and angrily throwing the wrench in her hand back into the bag. “Not again!” She grumbled with her looking from the gear to the brace lying across her lap. Why do these things have to be so stubborn? I should’ve oiled it before coming to camp but NO! that dumb monster had to chase me around for a good three hours... she thought to herself angrily yet somewhat in defeat.
"Hmm...my favorite memory? I have too many to count,but i guess, it would be the memory of meeting all you and making friends here on the forums. :3" ”One day I’m going to sit down and make a list of all the books that I finished reading....” “It's going to be a long list...”
"Nooo," Freya complained with a huff. "My dad's apartment in New York is bad for this stuff, and I wish I had a yard," she whined. "So unless you wanna see me do that in Central Park, you better let me practice inside that apartment." Even she could figure that people wouldn't think it was cool what she was doing, even if the mist managed to hide her scythe.
Alex let out a shout of surprise when he was suddenly picked up and spun around, holding onto Asher for dear life. When he noticed who it really was, though, he laughed, rolling his eyes with a blush. "Come on, don't scare me to deat," he said with a smile, going in to hug Asher once he was let down.
"Oh geez, you're right. Better watch my fingers then," Nick joked as they headed outside. The image of Oliver actually trying that was hilarious, and he had to keep a smile down. "Now, where could he be hiding," Nick mused as he started walking. He could already imagine that Oliver wouldn't be too thrilled to see them, but he honestly didn't care, either.
Asher put him down but beat Alex in initiating the hug. He was always a giant dork ehen it came to Alex, being separated that long was bound to alwayd bring dumb shows like this up. "I mobilised youuu~" he cooed happily, being overly affectionate and dorky on purpose.
Nick was definitely the one to worry about with finding him. After all, he knew all the hiding places from his moody days at camp. So that was olivers reasoning for his current hiding place. Even if he was found it would sure be difficult to reach.
Prue shrugged a little while following her brother around in search of their other younger brother, “He could be anywhere... so where should we start looking first?” She asked with her wondering of places where he could possibly be after all it would be a fun family reunion of sorts just without the godly parent or other godly relatives... that might have caused a war or something and very hectic.
"Hmm...my favorite memory? I have too many to count,but i guess, it would be the memory of meeting all you and making friends here on the forums. :3" ”One day I’m going to sit down and make a list of all the books that I finished reading....” “It's going to be a long list...”
Lulu pursed her lips a bit, sort of confused, but slowly catching on. "I mean, maybe you could push all the furniture out of the way, or into a corner? So that it's safe while you practice." She suggested, finishing up the apple and throwing away the core.
Ben thought it was kind of funny to imagine Freya swinging a scythe in the middle of central park, but didn't comment about it, nodding toward Lulu. "That might work." He agreed, running a hand through his hair. He'd cut it recently, but from all his traveling it looked rather messy.
"Of course you did," Alex simply agreed jokingly with a warm smile. He stayed in the hug for a while, then reluctantly let go of him. "You sure you aren't jet lagged really badly, by the way? It's quite a distance." Then again, it probably wouldn't fully hit Asher until the next day, anyway. Which in turn would make it Sanaa's problem.
"Somewhere where we usually wouldn't look for him," Nick started thoughtfully while he was walking. "Or, I guess where he can hide well without people seeing him." Which kind of already put a lot of things out of the question, especially if it was too close to the cabins or the entrance.
Suddenly, Nick stopped. "What if he's not on the ground but up in a tree or something? I know he can climb them, at least," he muttered, more to himself than anything. A riddle made Nick turn into a bloodhound, not stopping until he had figured it out.
"Boooo, that's so much work and boring, though," Freya whined, then suddenly rolled her eyes. "I'm gonna go look if I can find people that are more fun. See you later!" she said before taking off.
"I think she just called us boring and losers," Joshua said after a moment, then started laughing. It was a typical Freya thing, honestly. He doubted she'd even realized what she had said, anyway.
Cecilia's steps were graceful as she moved down the path towards the camp, actually only having one big suitcase with her opposed to all the bags she'd brought the last year. She'd still gotten her chauffeur to carry her bag for her until this point, though. He wasn't supposed to come too close to the camp, after all. At least, Chiron had told her that too many times.
She looked a little annoyed that nobody had run up from somewhere to take her bag from her, though. What heathens.

Ben shrugged. “If her definition of boring is moving furniture to avoid destroying it with a scythe, i’m not completely sure I want to know what her definition of fun is.” He said with a grin. Then, pointing to himself and Joshua, he pointed out, “Freya’s thought of us as losers forever. Remember the cooties?” Just the thought made him laugh a bit.
"Oohh, right," Joshua replied after a moment, giving a short laugh. "Yeah, that was a thing, almost forgot about it," he admitted with a laugh. Joshua couldn't even remember where she and her sister had gotten that idea from, but it had definitely been a thing. "I think they bent the rules to fit what they wanted, though. Pretty sure they said that Alex and Percy don't have those just because they liked them."
It had been kind of hilarious to watch, although it had also been just a tiny bit annoying at times.
Ben nodded, the memory becoming more vivid in his head. Turning to Lulu to explain, he said, “Freya has a twin, and last year we convinced them that all boys have cooties.” Sighing a bit before continuing, he ran a hand through his hair. “They believed us for a pretty long time, and said some people didn’t have cooties, basically just everybody that has the most patience with them, right?” He asked, looking to Joshua confirmation that he remembered everything correctly.
"How can I be tired with you near meee~" asher hummed, though he would totally pass out the second he hit his bed. But like alex figured, that would be sanaa's problem by then. The blond took alexs hand softly and pressed a kiss into it. "Why do i have to live so faaaar?~"
“Yeah that’s true, although the fun part will be which tree.” Prue replied with a small grin granted she didn’t mean to sound that sarcastic however maybe they could then ask a nymph for help if they were willing that is, “It would probably be a tree where he can see everything but no one can see him.” She quickly added if that was indeed the case where their little brother was indeed up in a tree.
"Hmm...my favorite memory? I have too many to count,but i guess, it would be the memory of meeting all you and making friends here on the forums. :3" ”One day I’m going to sit down and make a list of all the books that I finished reading....” “It's going to be a long list...”
"Yeah," Joshua agreed with a grin. "So basically Alex and Percy. Freya still has that small vendetta against Asher because he didn't let her use his bow," he added in as an afterthought. It was funny to think back on, even if Freya had stopped believing that by now. It had been funny while it lasted, to see the twins screaming their heads off whenever Joshua of Ben came close to them.
Alex smiled at that, leaning into Asher. "Come on, we make it work regardless, don't we?" he asked, hugging him again. It was hard to only really see each other fully during the summer at the camp, even if they did visit each other at times. That did remind Alex of something else, though. "Oh, yes, I've been thinking about looking for a college in California, by the way. I don't really care where it is, after all."
Nick nodded at that. "Good point," he said thoughtfully, looking around. "Now, which trees would be good for that?" he said as he started moving again. He saw some that would fit the description, and motioned for Prue to follow. "Perhaps one of these. Let's see if we can find him."
Prue quickly followed after Nick in the search for a tree that would fit that description and possibly finding their little brother, “Do you think if we yell ‘redecorating the hades cabin’ would we get a response?” She asked then adding, “Or something that would get on his nerves.... unless he suspects that we would do that and remain quiet...” Sometimes she could guess what Oliver was up to however she learned early on to make other suggestions Incase that idea fell through.
"Hmm...my favorite memory? I have too many to count,but i guess, it would be the memory of meeting all you and making friends here on the forums. :3" ”One day I’m going to sit down and make a list of all the books that I finished reading....” “It's going to be a long list...”
Nick chuckled at that. "Sounds like fun to yell regardless, maybe we can spread the word like that," he replied, then cocked his head to the side, squinting for a moment. "I definitely think something is in that tree over there. Now, how should we get him down," Nick mused as he stepped towards the tree. They were still far enough to not be heard if they talked normally. However, Nick had managed to spot a smudge of something black, which he guessed was his brother's hair. If not, then, well, there was something else up there.
"Think we should just loudly yell his name until he's so annoyed he's going to come down?"
