STARTING

[FATES.]

You will start the game here.

The game begins when you are ready.

[Dream Marie Winter]

Dream stood still, waiting for the game to star. she had chosen to wear barely any armor but she had plenty of weapon, she had her golden dagger in its case at her side and she had a long silver sword in her hand. Being the daughter of Athena made her naturally good with weapons.

[Piper Millie McLean]

Piper waited for her team members. She had decided the positions of her two other captains. "Where are they?" she asked herself. She had her bow & some arrows in her hand, in case they were needed. Her decisions were that Eli should patrol the border, because he might be able to keep teh other team off for a while, & Sarah should directly guard the flag, as she was the strongest captain.

[Damian T. Lyon]

Damian approached his team captain and half-sister, Dream. He gave her a brief nod as he strapped on his plumed helmet. He had chosen to wear a bronze breastplate and shin guards. He wore the camouflage clothing supplied by the Hephaestus cabin, though-- pants were included, and easy to move and hide in. They were practical and useful, and there was no reason not to use them. On his arms he wore bronze bracers, and for weapons he had a small shield, a plain sword, and a javelin. He'd probably just use his javelin as a spear, anyway. He was weighed down somewhat, but it wasn't even a full set of armor. Plenty of others would wear the same thing, though since they were against Apollo, speed might be an issue. However, since Apollo also passed down the skill of archery, armor was important. This son of Athena was ready to go.

[Sarah Sue Pratt]

Sarah approached her team captain slowly. She was wearing absolutely no armor. All she had on was a pair of black shorts and a large white t-shirt. In her hand was her bow her father had given her when she first came to camp. It helped make her godly powers stronger. "What do I do?" She asked Piper.

[Piper Millie McLean]

Piper waited impatiently. "Where are they?" she asked for the thousaandth time. She had no armor on, she didn't want to be slowed down. "Use your skills," she told herself. "Take what you're best at & roll with it, like you did in school." She knew she had to do that, or she could get hurt. "Hi Sarah. Could you directly guard the flag? If they get past the borders i want them to have a challenge so it's far harder to get our flag."

[Michael Sua Peters]

Regreting every ounce of his decison to join the capture the flag. Dream somehow made team captin and lo and behold Michael was a captin. He mentally kicked himself and continued forward towards the woods. He was wearing a very light, heavy meatal breastplate that he crafted himself, and it lowered over his abdomen. He was also wearing a healm the coverd his whole head and lowering over his eyes and guarding his nose. He had designed the healm to work not only as defense but as offense. The roman styled healm had a blade running the top of his forehead to the back of the neck. If he pressed the button on the inside of his wrist the blade would detatch itself and act as a boomerang. He also carried a double edged long sword in his right hand and a small silver dagger conceled in his boots. Other then the breast plate, the healm, and the weapons, he was decked out in army styled camo. But the thing about his cammo clothes they were designed to camofloage with any background. He made it sure that everyone on his team had one. If they wore it or not, it was entirely up to them. He approched Dream not really wanting to talk to her. She might not have known, but since the brake up he's been so torn and hurt. "So" He said advancing ever close. "I want to gaurd the flag. I also will need Spyro, Adrian, and Leon. This is none-negotiable. You order the team or I'm out. Clear?" He said.

[Dream Marie Winter]

Dream spun on her heel to face michael. Her eyes flashed with pain for a moment before they hardened. "I think I'm the team captain, I choose, not you!" Dream said angrily. She turned away from him. Hoping he would just drop it. She didnt want to argue in front of everyone.

She spun back to face him. "You might as well guard the flag since you want to so bad" she said dryly. "But i will choose who goes with you"

[Spyro Tanners]

Spyro bounced up in time to hear michael say something about her guarding the flag with him. She was bout to agree when Dream spazzed out and said she would choose.

"I wouldnt mind helping guarding the flag!" Spyro said cheerfully. She eyed Michael. He was pretty smexy and it would be fun to flirt and talk to him while they waited for something to happen.

[elijah jay emmerson]

Elijah could not express the excitement that was building up inside of him. Ever since he joined the camp, he had been waiting for Capture the Flag. At his old ghetto school they would play this game and he loved to dominate. Now, everything was a bit different. The people were stronger and the stakes, at least in his opinion, were higher.

Eli practically skipped up to Piper hearing that Sarah would be guarding the flag directly. While he hated Sarah will a fiery passion, he knew she was strong and she would protect the flag the right way. Plus, that meant he got to protect the territory line which he wanted so desperately. Eli stopped in front of the two all smiles. He had no armor and was shirtless, only wearing his jeans. He did have his sword next to him and a dagger on his side. "Oh Captain my Captain!"

Eli faked a salute and smiled. "Oh, I'm going to enjoy trash talking those poor Athena kids. Let's get this party started, yes?"[/color][/blockquote][/blockquote][/size][/color][/font]

[Piper Millie McLean]

"I guess we should. Who should do what? What do you two think?" asked Piper. She always liked hearing her teammates opinions. She could use the fact of her teammates opinions to decide who to put where. She thought about the fact she had arrived a little while ago, maybe a week, but she fit in alright & she was team captain. She mostly kept to herself, & she liked the idea of a chance to prove her stengths. I think they know our teammates better than i do, she thoguht.

[Sarah Sue Pratt]

Sarah glared at Eli as he walked up shirtless with no armor. She shouldnt be mad at the no armor thing since she wasnt wearing any either but did he have to come shirtless. "Put a shirt on, you dont always have to show off" Sarah grunted. She turned to Piper. "Eli should decide who does what because I dont care very much." She said.

[elijah jay emmerson]

Eli was glad that Sarah willingly gave up on trying to boss them around. Sure it was a bit annoying that she didn't care which made him worry just a tad, but if someone pissed her off enough she can just summon some dead people. That was obvious from the last campfire. "Hey, this is party of my strategy Ms. Downy Pants so suck it."

Eli rolled his eyes and focused back on Piper.

Piper was new to the camp but she was a big hit already. Eli couldn't decide if he liked her or not, but he figured for the sake of winning he would cooperate. "Well, I think the obvious thing is for the Aphrodite kids to guard territory. If someone tries to come by we can just glamor them with our beauty. Plus, I personally think we're one of the best trash talkers. Sarah will obviously stay behind. She's the strongest though I hate to admit it and can take down whoever dares touch our flag. As for the team to capture Athena's flag, well, I think they should split up into two or three. More chances of capturing the flag and it'll force Athena's kids to split up as well or if they aren't so smart, move as one big group a lot. That's just what I think for now. Obviously it might change once we see their strategy."[/color] Eli's joking tone was now gone and he was very serious about this.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size][/color][/font]

[Sarah Sue Pratt]

Sarah smirked when Eli admitted she was stronger than him. "i think the dionysus kids should either go for the flag or help Eli. I want some of the stronger kids helping me" Sarah didnt want to get stuck with the dionysus kids. They wernt that great.
She rolled her eyes at eli when he said wearing no shirt was part of his plan. She really hoped he would get injured just so he wouldnt be so cocky next time they played capture the flag.

[charlotte kristine nightingale]

Charlotte wasn't sure why she had signed up for this. It had seemed like a good idea a first, but now not so much. She was thinking about not going to capture the flag, but she wasn't really the type to ditch. Even if she tried to, someone else from her cabin would probably drag her along. The girl practically had no choice, but go.

When Charlotte arrived, she realized that she was a tad bit late. I'm so sorry that I'm late." She said as she walked toward Piper. "What's our strategy?" She asked them. She had only heard the end of what Elijah had said, and she wasn't even sure what he had said because of the noises she heard.
