Myth reincarnated

Niki spared a glance for Apollo as he ran off,he really was worried. 'Should I be more worried...?' she wondered.
The girl shook the the thought of her head. Artemis was a capable girl, she could take care of herself. It was also unlikely that she would do whatever it is she was doing alone, if she couldn't handle it.

Niki walked away hoping to reach her next class, this was turning out to be an interesting day...

Dion puts a hand on her bicep to help her to sit back onto the grass, shaking his head at her words, and offering a displeased look upon his face. The look seems odd, as it is a rare expression, yet it is set aside with a sigh and a smile returns. "Weeeeelll! I am sure I have something, although perhaps I should grab something more then left over pizza and frozen meals."

He offers her a light chuckle his hand running along her arm as he lets her go. "You don't seem to be taking care of yourself, and as your offer stands you will pay more in rent the my last roommate." He says waggling his brows and licking his lips in a lewd manner. "You can bunk with me.... -until- we find you something more permanent, I will just over charge Ares to pay for your food." He says with a mischievous grin as he moves to a stand offering her a hand to get up, but also as if making a deal.

Jie Huo was curious as to the twins' past with Hades, "You were that desperate for money? You weren't kidding when you said you two had no one..."

He pondered the situation for a moment and turned to face him properly, "Well, what would you have us do? I doubt Hades would be open to the idea of a former employee demanding him for something."

Jie Huo was nervous about the whole thing - obviously. Hades had garnered quite the villainous reputation on the island and his original plan was to avoid his crowd by any means possible; now, however, it seemed that the option would be unavailable.

A single grow raises in question at her comment mouthing out the words "Good complexion", shaking his head before replying. "I think you are the last woman alive to worry about such things, plus you have that new mother glow about you." He teases pulling her lightly to his chest in a short embrace, that ends when he grabs her ass.

"Let's!" He says leading the way, but making room for her to walk next to him. It was not along walk to his small studio apartment, and they both knew they would be passing "Tartarus" on the way. "Well I suppose, you can stay for a bit, least till my bed still fits us both." He teases about her soon to be growing stomach as he runs a hand over it. "Hades has some of my supplies, if you want to join me later tonight, you don't have to drink you know." He grins and winks continuing. "After we get you some food, and some extra curricular activities."

He offers her a soft chuckle at her annoyance with his comments, this however only causes him to grin further. He then offers a shrug at all her accusing words, most was known to Dion, and he was not one to judge he had no room after all to do so.

Yet when the memories flood back, his smile fades, and he stumbles over an uneven spot in the sidewalk, nearly falling on his face, if he had not wrapped his arm around a street sign.

Shaking his head, and stopping a bit to gather himself he lets out a soft sigh. "Ever since I woke up, I have been having the oddest feelings... You believe in deja vu?" He shakes his head again before continuing on waving her to follow.

"He may be a creep but his business keeps a roof over my head, and at the moment yours as well. Either way, they make their own choices, and if they need the money to stay in school, they are adults." He says seeming absolve Hades of the guilt. "And don't act like you haven't thought about Apollo tied to your bed, I know I have." He says with a wink as they finally reach the stairs to his apartment.

Jie Huo (reluctantly) patted Apollo on the shoulder, "Just calm down and think. You need a way to get close to Hades; do you know any of his suppliers or fellow prostitutes? If so, we could use them to get inside the operation and get to Artemis. Though, we may have to face some of the staff so I'd bring something to swing."

The look in his eyes was dark. For whatever reason, dangerous situations brought out a very well concealed sadistic side to Jie Huo.

When Mr.Lewis spoke, Matthew froze outside the door. Before him a vision flashed that brought utter agony to him for reasons he understood not. Resting in a bed covered in silk red sheets lied a man with great toned muscle, and the woman he had seen often in his dreams. Unbeknownst to himself, tears slowly fell down his face and a bile rose in his throat.

Upon the pair laid a net made of thin and barely visible chain. Then just as quick as it came, the vision was gone.Shaking his head to free himself from the uncomfortable feeling in his chest he continued to roll. Making his way slowly home. The vision weighing heavy on his mind.

Yoga was an interesting class it wasn't too exciting but Niki enjoyed it. Yoga itself was a good exercise at times, she could fall into a deep trance which would help her focus her thoughts and make her feel stronger.

As she walked she smiled at familiar faces and waved at friendly ones. Niki walked into her class with a deep sigh, this day was taking forever. She sat down and waited for everyone else to file in.

"Hang on, why not just ask questions now?" Niki frowned. "A weekend off will just give people time to come up with stories and alibis."

This was unacceptable in Niki's eyes, this sort of nonsense made her angry. It was just wrong. Another thing came to here mind, this also meant that Artemis and Apollo know about the thefts, hence the added security. Clearly something was going on here, but again, she had more pressing matters to deal with.

"You know what? What do I know?" she shook her head. "Do what you think is best." she shrugged. 'I have better things to do anyway'.

Jie Huo nodded and started walking out of campus with Apollo.

Dionysus from what he had heard was the college's resident drug dealer. All of the party-goers get their supply from him; in return, Dionysus gets his supply from Hades.

Never, being the party type, Jie Huo never really associated with the man but there was a first for everything he supposed.

Dion's eyes go a bit wide, as she starts to suddenly spout off facts, in a rather scientific manner. Holding the door open for her, what might seem polite but rather so he can enjoy the view of following her up the stairs. "Yes... Uh.. what you said... that." He chuckles a bit shaking his head as if to process all that she said.

"Maybe I do? Recently I sure have been feeling odd, like I missing something that is right in front of me... While at the same time feeling like I have done it all before." He waves a dismissive hand as he pulls some keys out of his bag, to open the door.

The apartment was surprisingly clean, even if a few random wine and liquor bottles littered counters, there would be a welcoming scent about the place, like that of fresh fruit. What put most people off was his lack of furniture, instead his living room did not have a couch, but a whole lot of pillow, of all sizes from large enough for two, to just enough for half a head. If Aphrodite had not attended she would have heard about his drug and alcohol fueled orgies within the mess of pillows, his "Cuddle Puddle" He called it.

Just as they reached Dionysus' apartment, Jie Huo's phone rang. His dark eyes grew cold and he confirmed he'd be where the person on the other end had said to be.

He turned to Apollo, "I'm sorry I have to bail on this search, my brother's been put into the hospital - good luck getting Artemis!"

Turning on his heel, Jie Huo bolted down the street at a speed no one of his weak physique should be capable of.

Niki frowned as she stood up straight, she grimaced at the pain in her bones as well as the memory of her fall. With a smile she realized she had a bit of time, she figured she could go and try out the bow and arrow. 'Hope I'm strong enough to pull back the bowstring...' she thought with pursed lips.

She tested her arm out as she walked out the classroom and made her way to try her hand at archery.

'If all of them are that good... Then I just have to be better. Perfect actually ', Niki thought with a frown.

As she saw the woman waving her over, Niki raised an eyebrow. 'Hmmm.. ', but she decided to comply anyway. If it turned out to be a bad situation she knew she could handle it.

"Uhm, hello." Niki said. "Do I know you?"

Niki frowned, but she knew when she was outclassed. It would be more prudent to learn and challenge later on. After all winning was usually a matter of persistence and patience.

"Yes, loud and clear." Niki said. "I understand."

Although this instructor could've been kinder, Niki knew that wasn't what would help her learn. Competence would carry her through and from Niki's perspective this woman seemed to know what she was doing. Which was more than enough reason to follow her orders... At least for now.

Dionysus waves a hand to her as a gesture to make herself at home, she knew the place well enough, when the knocking starts he points to the fridge. "You need to eat, before you can express your gratitude." He teases with a playful wink as his tongue glides of his lips.

Dion was used to random people showing up at his house, even if he did not enjoy it, it was a hazard of the occupation. He flings the door open in an overly dramatic gesture fitting for the young man. "Was is all the knocking about? If you knock faster my legs don't move faster." He says with a teasing smile on his lips, yet an expectant one too.

Ok, so it wasn’t his smartest move. Infact, what he did was quite petty looking at it now. But just hearing the smug bastard and the way he treated women, no matter how shallow they themselves may be, really pissed him off. Without thinking, he pressed his phone to his ear and began to speak as if in a conversation as he rolled down the hall.

“Hey man did you see that cute blonde earlier? A little ruff around the edges but she looks nice at least. Yeah...mhmm...and that guy we saw her with....umm what was his name again? Oh yeah him.”
He had no idea who this jock jackwagon was. But he wanted nothing more than to piss the guy off for unknown reasons.
Then he began to wheel himself down the opposite direction of the hall. If he was going to die, he was going to die with sass on his lips.
