Athena's Cabin

Guest

I walk in and sit down on my bed. I pull out my laptop and start writing a Villanelle in Iambic Pentameter.

Guest

I finish and close my laptop. I sigh. The Athena cabin has been empty lately. Either I'm losing all my siblings to Kronos, or Athena just hasn't met any very smart men lately.

Guest

Where is Aelia !? I've been looking for her forever. She's not training, she's not at the lake or with Andy . . . Oh ! I forgot to check her cabin. I walk up to the Athena cabin and peer into the window. Sure enough, there's Aelia, sitting on her bed looking a little depressed. What's up with her ? I knock on the cabin door and then let myself in.

Guest

"Oh, hey Ebony." I say, looking up.

Guest

"What ya workin' on ?" I ask in a hillbilly accent. Aelia is always working on some nerdy project or another, and I always tease her about it. I mean seriously ! It's summer vacation !

Guest

"I'm not telling you until you stop mocking me!" I tell Ebony. I hate it when she does that.

Guest

I can sense Aelia's defenses going up, she hates it when I make fun of her compulsive need to study. "Alright, I was wondering if you wanted to come and play some basketball with me ?" I plead hopefully.

I come in and swing against the door frame. Aelia is sitting on her bed and Ebony is talking to her. "Hey, guys."

Guest

"Nope, sorry, I can't. I'm too busy doing "nerdy" things," I say to Ebony. "Oh, hey Andy!"

Guest

I walk up to the Athena cabin, a little intimidated. I had never been in here before, I don't really like interacting with nerds, but Aelia seemed alright. I reapplied my lipgloss, smoothed my hair and then knocked crisply on the door, ready for some serious pranking.

Guest

I walk in and quickly stash all the Hermes prank diagrams in a Compactor Box. It's something I invented. It looks like a small jewelry box, but you can store up to 35 pounds of blueprints in there. It's like Mary Poppins bag!

I pull out a new sheet of paper and wait for Lena to catch up to me.

Guest

I walk into Athena cabin. I notice Aelia hiding something. I should remember to investigate that, I note to myself. "So... what should we do?" I ask.

Guest

"Well, you guys have all the great ideas, I'll just sketch it out and make it work. Hey, do you want something to drink? We didn't really eat at the Mess Hall..."

Guest

"No thanks, I'm not thirsty. And I ate before you got there." I said. "NOw for an idea... anyone in particualr you want to prank?" I ask.

Guest

"One sec...I actually want a drink." I start looking for the Cokes I stole from last night's party. I pass two bottles of truth serum before I find them. I don't know why I even keep truth serum. I mean, it's great to have for your enemies, but it can be used against you just as easily.

I pop open the cap and take a sip. "Um...maybe we could prank the Aphrodite cabin? Or maybe the people in Hera?"

Guest

"Not Hera... too many people in there are insecure." I say. "Maybe Aphrodite... but they can be sensitive. How about Poseidon?" I ask.

Guest

"There's only one person there...but I guess that means we can focus in on her weaknesses. Let's do that! Any ideas?" I say. I know some of Andy's weak points, so I can contribute when needed.

Guest

"We know water is a strength... maybe fire as a weakness?" I suggested.

Guest

"Maybe...air is also a big weakness for any child of Poseidon, except when they're on a pegasus. I also know that Andy really cares for her mom, for whatever that counts for."

Guest

"Is her mom a... sensitive topic?" I ask. I loved pulling pranks, but I didn't enjoy hurting people's feelings.

Guest

"Not really. She just cares for her a lot. Her mom didn't die or anything, Andy goes to see her whenever she can...she just cares a lot about her. And Andy has a great sense of humor. As long as we don't like, fake kill her mom, I think we're fine." I say confidently. I take another sip of Coke.

Guest

"Well... Just in case... I think we should avoid that topic." I say. "Does she have any pets?" I ask.

Guest

"Okay. And yeah, she has a horse named Hohum and a dog named Rocky. Why?"

Guest

"Does she keep her horse in the stables?"

Guest

"I think so...why?" I didn't get anything that was going on here. I took another sip of my Coke.
