I can't live like this. Jacob stood on the far side of the airfeild. He stroked his cold, metal foreleg and sighed. He was on the verge of killing himself. This wasn't how it was supposed to be. They were supposed to win. They were supposed to crush the Gaians. They weren't suppose to lose. What are those bastards upstairs doing? He covered his head with a hoodie and shed a tear. Mikayla shouldn't live like this. She should be playing with her friends at the playground. Doing gymnastics. Not fending for her life. He was truly weeping now. He ignored the footsteps of the visitor coming towards him.
(Maybe the Gods aren't helping because they're at war with other minor Gods and Titans. Erebus cameo maybe?)

(Idk, I guess.)
Greyson had a grim expression on his face. He didn't like the whole story of the camps retreating. He had taken in lone demigods like Terry before to help them recover and train. Then he sent them to camp. No, the whole camp had come to him, utterly crushed in spirits. It ticked him off, and what was worse, messed with his concentration.
He had come down to check on the boy named Jacob. If he remembered correctly, he was the one with the artificial limbs surgery. Then again, he never remembered incorrectly. Greyson was born with an eidetic memory, otherwise known as photographic memory. He found the boy crying over his misery, and his expression softened. There wasn't anything he could say because of his inability to read social situations, so he stood and waited.

Jacob barley noticed him. He wiped his tears and looked up. He didn't recognize the man at first, but then he notived his eye. Grey, just like his. He perked up remebering him. He's the one that owned this place. He took them in. Jacob quickly stood, wobbly on his leg. "I'm sorry," he said. "You're Terry's friend, right." He stood unsteadily, forgetting his troubles.

Greyson waved a hand as he stood, feeling like he was intruding. "No, it's fine. Sit down. You need to rest anyway. My name's Greyson." He told him, walking over to stand next to the boy. His expression was gentle and understanding. He had lost much before he had come to live here alone. Demigods brought threats to those close to them. There was nothing he could have done to save them. Save someone once, another danger would arise. With a smile, he looked at Jacob. "Is something wrong?"

Jacob quickly dried his face. "No, no," he sputtered. " I'm fine..." A lie of course. But he couldn't let anyone see him crying. Not for himself. He was one of the lucky ones. He lived. He was a survivor. The price of salvation to him was an arm and a leg (quite literally,) but it was pitiful that he could think about himself now rather than the innocent souls lost at camp. He coughed. "I'm Jacob" he said. "I've really wanted to see you anyway... I really appreciate what you're doing for us. You could have just looked away... I tried thanking you before, but I couldn't find you. It must be hard caring for all of these people."

Greyson smiled coyly at his first comment, knowing that it was definately not true. He didn't say anything more abut it though. He could do that all day and end up irritating Jacob, which was the opposite of what he wanted to do right now.
The Asian man blinked his mismatched gray eyes for a moment, they were a darker shade of gray than Jacob's or Terry's, but still gray enough to earn him teasing and bullying when he was little. "well, nice to meet you Jacob." his smile was worm at his thanks. "There's no need. This place is actually a safe haven for rogue demigods. Terry and Colton used to stay here before they went to camp. Terry has grown up, and Colton...well...he never got along with anyone anyway." He let out a small sigh. That didn't mean his death didn't hurt him. "This place is meant to keep demigods. And now it's serving its purpose. I got a message from Iris telling me that the gods wanted me to keep the place, so I did. So thank your parents."

Post by Fern on Mar 5, 2012 21:56:58 GMT -5
Fern sat a bit away from them, slumped in the grass like she was it was hard to see her. She had a pile of throwing knives next to her and a whetstone in her hands, but she found it hard to focuss on sharpening the knives. Instead she sat motionless. She did nothing, felt nothing, saw nothing. Nothing. She had blocked off the world for a sort of stare-into-space trance.
Truthfully the girl was no better than Jacob depression-wise, but for different reasons and with different reactions. Voices slowly lulled her out of staring off and she shook her head to clear it of it's grogginess. Decide to figure out what was going on she stood slowly, gathering her knives and throwing them into a black sack which was promptly swung over her shoulder.
She paced forward toward the men. She nodded and said, "Fern. I don't recall ever meeting either of you.."
The girl had completly missed the fact that one of them had mechanical legs. {{ x || Heh, just incase you need fodder for your post this is what she's wearing. Interesting sence of style, no?}}

Greyson looked up at the voice of the approaching girl. The name Fern caught his attention, and he sifted through his memory of little snapshots he had memorized. The list of the demigods staying here was pulled out, and he searched through the mental list. Ah, she was the child of Hades.
"Hello, I'm Greyson, son of Athena." He replied with a quiet smile. His gray eyes already said enough about being an Athena spawn, but he still said it as a part of his introduction. Every camper here seemed to be so down. There was nothing he could do to help but let them stay here, and it bothered him.

Jacob was thankful for a distraction. Fen... She was the one that rescued him during one of the battles. She had one of her hellhounds carry him away. He was in debt to so many people... "Jacob," he said shyly. "Jacob Ryder. I'm with Athena also..."
