"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.
''No he would not be open to it. I did nothing short of beg to not work as a whore just while I sorted a few things with college, but when I did I didn't go back. He didn't know where I lived so he couldn't track me down, so he stuck his claws into Artemis. But I don't understand why, is it to get at me? Or it is it to replace me? But the thing is Artemis wouldn't work the back room, so what would he make her do?'' He put his face in his hands. ''Oh god, what do I do?''

"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."
''Oh my god, enough with the teasing about me being pregnant. And as for that creep, I have every intention of staying far away from him. Do you have any idea what he's been doing recently? He's been trying to hire the more down and out students as prostitutes, I mean he even tried it with me when Ares dumped me. I heard he hied Apollo for a stretch of time.'' She kept a frown on her face as she walked and talked about him. And you are hit with the memories of his more... unhinged moments.

"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.
She pointedly ignored the Apollo comment, instead focusing on the deja vu. ''The feeling of having previously seen or experienced something that is currently being seen or experienced to that of having dreamt about a similar situation or place and then forgetting about it until one seems to be mysteriously reminded of the situation or the place while awake. I read it in a book somewhere. Some people connect it to past lives and suck other a lapse of memory.'' She looked confused for a second but brushed it off. ''Why do you beleive in deja vu?''

The look in his eyes was dark. For whatever reason, dangerous situations brought out a very well concealed sadistic side to Jie Huo.
''The only person who I could make contact with would be... Dionysus but he doesn't do anything that doesn't work for him. Well that's what I've heard anyway, I mean we could try and as for something to swing no worries.'' Without a change to his face he flashed a knife from his front pocket. ''I'm a nice guy but I do defend myself.'' His eyes scanned the courtyard before going back to you. ''If he's not here he's at his apartment or on his way, you ready to go?''

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.
The vision leaves as quickly as it came and the feeling in your chest only increases as a pair of students walk past you. One of them a slick back haired man, muscled and designer dressed in a casual suit, he walked with an arrogance. by his side a just as well dressed curly haired brunette. She sported what looked liked a tailored suit with nothing being to short or long and the skirt stopping right at her knees. Revealing slender legs past the knee.
''So you dumped the blondie huh?'' the brunette spoke up her voice sounded intelligent but cold of a sort.
''That's right Aphrodite is gone sis, she should have just of gotten rid of the baby make both our live easier. When it comes down to it I'm gonna be charged for that baby, pay support and all that.'' You don't recognise their voices entirely, nor their looks but you cannot see their faces from your position.

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.
''Ok kids seeing as most of you are here I'm gonna tell you now , any lessons after this are cancelled due to the fact that a number of sports equipment items have gone missing. Their will me an investigation over the weeked and when you come back on monday you will be asked a few questions. Am I clear?''
Nike wrote:
"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'.
She ignored your complaints an as soon as everyone filed in she got everyone to start with some warm ups on their mats. Throughout the lesson she got everyone to do more and more complicated positions, you had little trouble with them though the tumble earlier today seemed to rear its head making you fall at a few points. By the time the lesson is finished there is a soreness in your bones.

Never, being the party type, Jie Huo never really associated with the man but there was a first for everything he supposed.
As you follow Apollo you take note of the seriousness in his face, he seems to have foregone his anger in favour of determination. It's a short walk before you reach the apartment and apollo waits a second before turning to you. ''It's very possible he'll have someone in there with him, so let's not cause any trouble unless we have to.'' And with that he knocks.

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.
Aphrodite had attended a numerous amount of times and so did a lot of other students. Apollo, Ares and Aphrodite being the people of most note and numerous other student and people of lesser note. Funnily enough Apollo was tied up once though you can't remember by who, maybe you maybe someone else. The orgies got pretty crazy. Though not long after you enter the living room you hear a near frantic knock on your door but not 'junkie needing another hit' frantic.

She tested her arm out as she walked out the classroom and made her way to try her hand at archery.
By the time you get to the archery field there are few people left, two in fact. One of them is busy shooting at a far away target, near bullseye almost every time. The other is a pretty woman who is sat on a bench near what you assume is the equipment shed, she is twiddling with a sharp arrow with a bow and a holder of flat arrows. She sees your approach and waves you over.
Nike wrote:
"Uhm, hello." Niki said. "Do I know you?"
''No, I'm here to teach you how to shoot a bow and arrow and then I will teach you the art of archery, it's more than just a sport. There is an art to it, it's something that if you want to master you got to feel it in your bones. We start with flat tipped hollow plastic ones, then wood then steel and then we move onto sharp edged. While we do this the bows will also upgrade with higher tensile string and better material of the bow. Are you getting me?'' During the whole conversation she didn't seem to convey much emotion, positive or negative. It seemed that her main focus was getting her message across.

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.
''Brilliant, lets go.'' She handed you a leather arrow carrier that held flat tipped plastic arrows, then a bow of what felt to be light material it felt good it your hands but you knew there were better ones.
''I'll show you then I'll tell you.'' As she got out her bow you could see the gears and bolts that went throughout it, you had seen a bow like this when Artemis came home wit one on her back. She cleaned it for 30 minutes the put it in a special case with a cloth around it. Your instructor then took out an arrow that you could see was sharp and steel. She notched and released the arrow in one swift move, it hit bullseye immediately.
''Stance prior to shooting the bow: Stand upright with feet shoulder width apart, and feet at 90 degrees to the target. Keep a relaxed grip on the bow handle. Position the fingers on the string with the index finger above the arrow and two fingers below.The string should sit in the last crease of your fingers. Do not grip the arrow with your fingers. Pull back the string using your back muscles, not your bicep/arm. Pull back the string so that the index finger of the pulling hand is under the chin, and the string touches your nose and lips. Aim, align and fire. Go do it twice.
