You dream of the world. Tall towering trees. Expansive deserts. A colorful reef in a clear ocean. Each of then morph into something of awe inspiring beauty. It almost seems impossible. Seems impossible. But attainable, with the right resources.

You wake up from your dream. You are in a place that has absolutely no beauty, a jail cell. You remember they brought you in on vandalism charges in Columbus Circle. You had a vision, but the law didn't agree with it. They gave you a phone call last night, but you had no one to call. You were on your own, and trapped in the hands of the law.

You sit in your cell for an hour, thinking about his you could spruce it up, when an officer comes to your cell and unlocks it.
"Somebody payed your bail."
A nerdy looking kid in crutches limps in. He is wearing a gray and white plaid shirt and wears a black fedora with a gray stripe wrapping around. He rapidly greets you.
"Nice to finally meet you Nike. I'll explain everything outside, it's probably best to get moving right now."

[eaenidu]

Nike blinks and nods slowly Standing with a frown on her face, eyeing the boy closely "Very well Even if you do not have that much Beauty to show on the outside you may just be hiding some on the inside, Let us Go!" She said acting like she was giving him a great honor for letting her out "Are you one of the many people who Admire my Beauty or my Arts?" She asked smiling at the boy like an Empress would an interesting subject that came before her, "Oh how rude I Don't know your name, While my Art Rivals Apollo, my beauty Venus, my Skills at creation only surpassed by Hephaestus and my strength equal to Hercules I am not all knowing." She said thinking nothing of the boy knowing her name after all why wouldn't he?

[Riptide]

The boy stares at you like you are crazy for a moment, and then gets back on track.
"At least your swollen ego will help you accept the news easier. My names Tzaz, I'm in charge of getting you to your destination safely.
Tzaz starts speaking in a sarcastic, condescending tone towards you.
"I guess in your little fantasy world you'd call me a 'royal escort'. You need to hurry up princess, I have a gift from the king here, and then we are going to the royal ball."
He tosses you a small orange box.
(OOC: This will be your weapon. First describe it as a small everyday object that you think fits your character, then describe it in its full weapon form when you need to use it later on.)

[eaenidu]

Nike Laughed as she caught the box "No Silly I'm not a princess, I'm an Artist of Beauty and Creation, I know I must have stunned you or you would know that," She smiled at him like he was an idiot before opening the box and pulling out two Bracelets with a rose on each one had Ruby petals and the other Onyx petals, She slipped the Ruby on her right hand and the onyx on her left looking happy "Well even if you have an ugly tongue you do bring quite the Beautiful gift to me. Anyway you keep mentioning taking me somewhere," She paused and looked at him her eyes flashing with madness "Tell me, is there Beauty there?" She asked with a slightly....off smile, if answered yes that there was she would follow Tzaz with a smile.

[Riptide]

Tzaz was able to answer the question confidently, if not a little confused by the wording.
"Yes, where we're going is very beautiful. Now can we hurry up and get there before it is too late."
Tzaz looked very unnerved about something.
"My car is waiting outside."

[eaenidu]

Nike Smiled and Nodded "Very well lead the way." She said her eyes unable to stop straying to Tzaz legs as they walked to the car, She said "I could make you better, More Beautiful Legs if you wanted it isn't that hard..." She trailed off as they left the building and waited to see which car was Tzaz's

[Riptide]

"Your not putting a razor anywhere near-!"
Tzaz caught himself when he realized she didn't know about that yet. You walk out to the eerily quiet night street street.
"Ok, it looks like I lost him."
Tzaz is about to unlock his car, a giant crab jumps down from on top of the building and crushes several cars.
"Shit! I knew I should of brought the camp car instead."
He gets of course but quickly gets back to what's important.
"Nike! No time to explain! Activate the bracelets!"

[eaenidu]

Nike Saw the Crab and her first thought upon seeing it was 'UGLY UGLY UGLY!!!' Almost enraged at the very sight of it she snarled "Ugly thing What are you doing in my presence at all begone filth and burn in Roma's Pyre!" She yelled her Bracelets Glowing for a split second before they took their true forms, The Ruby Rose burst into Flames and shot to her hand, When she Grabbed a Handful of the Flames they shot out and Crystallized into the form of a huge sword that seemed to twist and turn even as it stayed the same, it was almost bigger than her and no normal person could wield it, It was Beautiful in Nike's Eyes The essence of a fire turned into a weapon it almost seemed alive, Alive and screaming like there were many that died by the blade or the fire it came from, and it was Beautiful....The Onyx Rose Suddenly Glowed and changed and she was holding a Matching Sword in All Black and grey, Looking at it Nike saw Beauty as well just a different softer beauty a Cold Beauty tinged with sorrow to make it sweeter, Smiling Grimly she said "Spartan Ash..." She looked at the Crab a Mad look of Pleasure and disgust on her face her body almost seemed surrounded by Screaming burning Romans and Crying mourning Spartans, Nike Rushed head first Swinging her swords with reckless abandon wanting to rid herself of the Disgusting thing in front of her, She was just Smashing the thing throwing her full strength into it as her sword sent burst of Flame from the red one and Ashes from the Grayish Black one "Die Filthy Disgusting Thing Die and leave my Sight!".

[Riptide]

(Strength Roll 17)
Before the crab has a chance to do anything, you manage to smash through the hard shell of the crab, and make it squeal out in pain. It attempts to escape the wrath of your blades by climbing up the building behind it.
Meanwhile, Tzaz finds a Limousine parked down the road, and decides to try carjacking it. He takes out some lock picking equipment and attempts to open it.

[eaenidu]

Growling at the Crab trying to escape Nike let her swords disappear as she instead tried to Grapple the thing down and punching it, Trying to make a big enough break in it's armor so she could stab her swords into it.

[Riptide]

(Dexterity Roll 6)
Sadly, you are unable to grapple the crab in time, and he climbs away, safe from your hate fueled rage. Tzaz calls you over. He managed to successfully break into the Limo, and is now fumbling with the wires below the drivers seat. He puts 2 together, and the car starts.
"We should be in business. This should definitely compensate for my crab crushed car. Good job taking care of it by the way. Pretty impressive for your first battle. Hop on in and I'll explain everything you need to know on the ride to the Camp."
He sits in the driver's seat and closes the door, ready to disembark.

[eaenidu]

Nike Growled and climbed into the back still looking a little pissed "Why such an ugly thing thinks it can exist near me is a mystery." She said pouting rather cutely as she looked to see if there was anything to eat or drink in the back of the limo.

[Riptide]

(Intelligence Roll 15)
You find a crap load of snacks and drinks to enjoy on the ride. While you relax and enjoy yourself, Tzaz explains what is going on with you whilst driving. He talks about how younger a daughter of Heaphaustus, how you are a Demi-God, and what Camp Halfblood exactly is.
"Any questions?"

[eaenidu]

Nike hums in thought and says "Well what other gods are out there?" She asked with a rather cute look "I'm not so arrogant to think that the Greeks are the on;y Gods, Are there Romans? Gauls? Celts? Persian? Carthaginian? Egyptian? I can't believe that Greeks are the only ones to exist or the entire world would belong to Greece." She said with a frown of thought.

[Riptide]

Tzaz attempts to answer you while continuing to drive.
"Well there are Roman Gods, and please don't ask me how that works. I don't no about other types, but at this point I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if all the Olympians could join hands and become Super Jesus. Hey, could you pass a bag of chips."
(OOC: Are you saying you'd like to see different mythologies incorporated?)

[eaenidu]

Nike shook her head "No Eyes on road you can have a snack when we get where we are going." She ordered as she relaxed in the Limo looking around and waiting for something to happen or for them to get wherever they were going.

(OOC: I think it would be interesting, why else would the Gods powers not work in the north unless something else ruled it? But whatever you want is fine.)

[Riptide]

Tzaz sighs, and focuses on driving. About an hour later, you are driving on a road through a dark forest. Tzaz looks back and speaks to you.
"We're almost there. You're lucky we made it here without too much trouble."
Tzaz speaks too soon as a giant club swings onto the front of the limo. You black out.

You wake up tied to a tree, with your clothes stripped off. Your bracelets are still on your wrists though. You see the crashed limo in the distance, but no sign of Tzaz. There is a lit campfire close by. You finally see what tied you up, trolls, three of them to be exact. One of them speaks to you when he sees that you're awake.
"So, you're that bitch that thinks the world isn't good enough for her. That anything untouched by her is ugly. Well, we just so happen to think we're beautiful, and we want to show you how beautiful we actually are."

[eaenidu]

Nike's brow twitched as she looked at them "So tying a Maiden naked to a tree is Beautiful to you?" She asked annoyed, Though she made no move to try and hide herself, Why should she she wasn't embarrassed why should she be she was Beautiful "Before you do anything what are Norse, Beings? Monsters? I really don't know what to classify you as, as I know only a little of the Norse, Doing in the Greco-Roman domain?" She asked before continuing "And I don't think everything is ugly, I just think I can make it all better than it is now, After all My art and my creations are only challenged by gods." She said trying to talk things through, since they well could talk she thought that they might have a hidden form of beauty in them.

[Riptide]

(Charisma 12)
The trolls, seem to calm down a little, huddle up and whisper, and come back to you seeming more open to talk with. One of them, the smallest one of the bunch, answers your question.
"Yes, we are of what you would call the Norse Domain. Greco-Roman's have dominated this lands culture, but us Norse beings are starting to gain notoriety again. We don't personally associate with the heads of our domain, but they've been having land disputes with your gods. Things might get ugly real soon."
The largest troll apologizes to you.
"The reason we tied you up is because one of your gods, whom I shall not name out of fear, told us that you destroy anything you don't view as beautiful, and that you will come for us next."
The mid-sized troll speaks to you.
"Now, we don't completely trust you yet, but we are interested in what you'd do to make us more 'beautiful'. If your ideas don't offend us, we'll consider letting you go."

[eaenidu]

Nike Frowns but nods regally "First things first your Manners from what I've seen are completely ugly, Attacking a Beautiful maiden like me on Hearsay, Stripping me without even asking permission, tying me up to a tree while I am stripped, I could catch a cold or get Hypothermia or something, All these Are Ugly things that need to be fixed, And that's only the easiest for me to see, your Mothers would be disappointed in your actions, after all how would you like it if some Jotuns? I believe they're called, did this to your mothers or sisters?" She asked in a disappointed tone of voice.
