Tower of Boxes - (OPEN)

[Jeremie Langley]

As Jeremie in stature wasn't much, he was thin and somewhat tall, but! He wasn't a weakling, he had some mass to assist him... Just he had bitten off more than he could chew and as a result with his mound of computer parts, packaged away and slightly obscuring his already poor eye sight, he stumbled some, trying his hardest to not fall over and more importantly not ask for help his pride wouldn't allow that. He had a hard time asking for help and this wasn't any exception. "Just... Stay calm.... No sudden movements... " He mumbled to himself as he kept walking. "By my calculations.... I should be a few more metres away from the room..." He gulped slightly.

Jordan. Was. Furious.

She went to Chiron to finally convince him why she should be the cabin leader. Well, he just informed her that her little brother was made cabin leader instead. She might have have said a few choice words to the horseman before she stormed out of the Big House and towards her cabin. She knew she would find Jeremie there.

Once she arrived at the cabin, she slammed open the door and stood at the doorway as her eyes narrowed at Jeremie. "WHAT'S THIS ABOUT YOU BECOMING CABIN LEADER?!?" She screamed at him as she stormed inside. "YOU RIGGED IT! I WAS SUPPOSED TO BECOME CABIN LEADER. NOT. YOU." She stood right in font of him as she crossed her arms over her chest and glared at him.

[Jeremie Langley]

"Almost... There....." Jeremie said lightly, but once Jordan scram, it was all over. From the slamming of the door,his boxes flew, CPU's, motherboards, internal ram, you name it flew and with her roar came his glasses, he blinked as he could no longer see. "My... My glasses.... My glasses..." Jeremie muttered, on all fours looking desperately for his glasses, pawing the ground for anything that remotely felt like them.

"I can't see...." He mumbled, looking up to the vague silhouette of his 'sibling', unsure if she was a monster or even remotely friendly, he totally missed the question she asked too, or was it more of a statement? He didn't know, he wasn't sure what he did but apparently he had did something wrong in her eyes and felt this urge to apologies. "I apologies.... I dunno what I did to upset.... Please forgive me..." Jeremie was trying his hardest not too tear up, even his voice began to terrible, some he was scared and he didn't know what did to deserve it.

Jordan didn't care that a bunch of boxes came flying over Jeremie and his glasses were knocked off. The fact that he went and took the cabin leader title from underneath her nose was more insulting. She stood there tapping her foot as she glared down at him on all fours looking for those glasses. They were right by her other foot, but she wasn't going to help him out. She wanted to see him weak.

"Forgive you?" she repeated as she scoffed at him. "Forgive you for taking the cabin leader title from me? You KNOW I wanted that title! I've been here longer than you! I deserve it!" She let out a loud, frustrated sigh as she kicked his glasses towards him.

[Jeremie Langley]

"Oww..." He muttered softly upon the impact of the glasses to his face, looking down as they fell in front of him to feel his now chipped and slightly broken frames as he slid them on and blinked a few times at the girl. "I guess...."  He said lightly smiling. "I mean... It's fine, that your upset. I did take the leadership role from you, I felt I should try to venture outside my comfort zone of computers... So, it's okay that your mad at me and  have every right to be." Jeremie took it with a grain of salt, not bothered by the fact that she had broke his glasses, or scream her lungs out at him, he just stood up and dusted himself off, collecting the bits that scattered from his boxes. "I hope you'll forgive me eventually." He said pushing up the crooked frames. "I won't blame you for my glasses, and maybe we can be friends..." On the bright side, Jeremie was forgiving and always towards positivity, rather than be mad at his sister he just let it go, He had a horrible habit of seeing the world in black and white... colour didn't really appear in the boys grey eyes.

Jordan meant to kick his glasses just enough that it slid across the floor towards Jeremie, but she was angry enough that it hit him in the face instead. She couldn't lie and say she didn't get a little bit of enjoyment from it. At least she was thankful that the cabin leader title didn't go to her little snob of a sister.

She continued to look down at him as she tapped her foot. An evil smirk crept onto her face an idea formed in her head. Her sister couldn't be bothered, but Jeremie... Jeremie could be formed into the leader that his cabin needed. He wasn't the one they deserved, because that was obviously herself, but he could be the one they needed.

"Be friends?" she snapped at him. "You're the cabin leader. You're supposed to show everyone you're the boss around here. You're not supposed to be a pathetic little wimp on the ground. How is anyone supposed to take you seriously?"

[Cleo Price]

Ah yes,  Cleo loved to walk up to her cabin and hear the usual screaming of Jordan inside. Who misplaced a book now? Cleo calmly walked into the cabin to see her yelling at Jeremie. Poor kid looked like he was about to burst into tears at any second.   Broken glass,  boxes filled with computer parts overflowing, the tension was so thick wouldn't be able to be cut by a knife. Alright well time for this to stop.

"What a surprise." she said unemotionally as she walked over to the two, picking  put a piece of hardware that had flow away she guessed. "Jordan yelling at someone for no good reason." she said, looked at her sister for a second before turning to her younger brother. She shot him one of her few smiles. Jeremie was optimistic, she'd give him that. She wished she saw the word better than it was like he needed. He was almost too pure for a tainted world.  "So what is the Furies  screaming about this time?" She said and smirked slightly. "Oh by the way congrats on the promotion boss, Heard the news from Chiron." She nearly ran for it just to spite Jordan but it was too much responsibility for the girl who wanted to just exist simply.

[Jeremie Langley]

"You don't have to call me boss.... I mean, I'm just the 'cabin leader'..." He waved off Cleo's remark, lightly letting loose a sigh to Jordan's irrepressible screaming. "Look, I don't care if you see me as leader or not, I'm not some mob boss in training.... I'm your brother.... I've never had siblings and all I hope to achieve with being the cabin leader is to... " He paused, smiled lightly. "Well, for us to get along and be friends, I don't want you to fear me or anything... I just want a family, I guess it's kinda silly of me to force this upon of all of you.... But.... That's all I want from this."

[Deleted]

Jordan thought it would be the perfect plan: mold Jeremie into the cabin leader he needed to be. But everything was ruined when her brat of a sister walked in. Her eyes widened and she silently screamed before she turned on her heels to face her sister. "Oh?" she snapped. "Did Chiron tell everyone except me about this? The one who needed to know what was going on?"

She readjusted her arms across her chest as she glared at her siblings. "Be friends?" Jordan scoffed as she looked over at Jeremie. "Don't be so optimistic. You two," she snapped as unfolded her arms to point at both of her siblings. "Are never going to be friends with me. You're incompetent. And she's a brat." She lowered her hand down as she looked at her siblings. "Have fun running this cabin into chaos."

[Jeremie Langley]

"That's alright." He said softly. "I'd rather not force my views on others, or my siblings." As he spoke, Jeremie used his breath to fog his frames, using one of the many flannel shirts he wore as a cloth to  clear them from the debris of Jordan's shoe. "It'd be better to let her cool off... Though I worry how well that'd improve her mood or overall attitude..." He rambled, totally unaware he was speaking out loud and not really think too much more on Jordan, forgetting Cleo was even there. "Ahh! Oh... Right, I just drifted off in my thoughts there didn't I? My bad..." He giggled rather nervously, I mean... She was the main reason why Jordan ran off, "I wonder why that is..." He asked himself. "Best not to pry huh? I suppose."

[Cleo Price]

Something about getting under  Jordan's skin just made Cleo smile like the Cheshire cat. She smiled and looked at her brother before laughing at her sisters comments. "Well Jordan why don't you tell use how you really feel." she half said and half laughed. "Maybe that's why Chiron didn't pick you, they don't want cabin leaders that think so lowly of their siblings and mentally abuse them." Ever word she said she wanted to act like a stab. She may not be a fighter but Cleo knew mental warfare. She looked back to her brother. "I personally think we could use a bit more optimistic views considering the salt that is currently in this cabin."

Cleo rested her hand on her brothers shoulder, softening her voice slightly to just talk to Jeremie, "Don't worry about Queen Waspie, she doesn't ever cool off, she just goes from bossy and angry to not as bossy and angry." she said with a slight smile. Honestly she could care less if Jeremie was a good leader or not, as long as he wasn't that prissy she would be fine. "And don't worry, I'll keep her attacks at bay." she said with a laugh and a wink, peeking at her sister before looking at her brother. She meant it though, he was innocent in his ideas of peace and bringing together but this wasn't the last of Jordan's play for Cabin leader, it never stopped till she had the power. If Cleo had to say she finally found something more fun than messing with Jordan, protecting Jeremie from her. He was only slightly younger than her but he was the perfect Athena kid, he had his flaws of course but someone needed to balance our the cynical cabin. "I believe in you."  

[Jeremie Langley]

"You do? That means a lot..." Jeremie finally spoke, he was almost silent threw Cleo talking, he was a little fixated on his frames, they really didn't work now after the being kicked, but that made apart of him felt terrible, like a child loosing something that his parents (mother in particular) specifically told them to take care of and then end up loosing or breaking them. "I wonder if I have my spares...." He asked lightly under his breath. "Though, if I did. They'd make me look just as geeky." Though Jeremie was kinship to Athena, he did worry a bit to his looks, not as excessively as the Aphrodite kin, but to a point, he didn't just wanna be stereotyped as the usual nerdy Athena kid... But fate would have it, he kinda always did, he zoned back in to Cleo again pushing some hair back. "Protect me from the 'Queen'?" He asked, boy did he end up becoming Alice? He felt he had been making a deal with the Cheshire and got into scuff the the Queen of Hearts. "That's awfully kind of you.. Thanks."
