Viv. It was a simple name, kind of like his and he liked it. It was probably short for Vivian or something like that but Drew didn’t think that was particularly important. What was important was that the girl didn’t seem like the typical demi-god girl he would find around camp and that meant that he didn’t think he would mind her presence here even though it was interrupting his self-imposed separation from everyone else.
He glanced over at her as she said her piece about being one of the “evil kids”. Not Hermes but judging by the sarcasm that dripped from her every word he was guessing that the evil she was talking about made her a Hades kid most likely. He chuckled a little at the thought of her really being as evil as she was hinting but he doubted that was the case. As for being considered evil he thought that he could sympathize with her on that and maybe it was even true of him on some levels. Who knew anymore? “I’ve got you beat there. Thanatos is my dad and you should see people avoid me like the plague.”
It was true. Most people did avoid him if they knew who he was. Granted he didn’t go out of his way to make himself known either but it wasn’t like he was actively avoiding people. At least not usually. “As for being evil you don’t really seem the type to like being labeled so I guess the jury will just have to stay out on that one for now.”

Drew did recognize the girl after he had a few moments to lets his irritation at her subside. She was one of the Usurpers though. He just didn’t know if that should be a comfort to him or not. He wasn’t really the type to jump right in and start making friends with any group let alone the other members of the Usurpers. He had his own reasons for joining the cause and would do his part but he couldn't care less about all the others. Still, at least it seemed like the girl had eased up when she recognized him as well.
Drew stuck his hands in his pockets. It was probably too late for things to go completely unnoticed but at least it would keep it out of sight for the time being and hopefully keeping it out of sight would keep it out of mind as well. He still didn't like her tone but what could he do about that? "I can take care of myself." He said not pausing to let the ice completely melt from his voice. "I'm well aware of who might be out here and trust me, if I had a reason to sneak around you wouldn't have noticed me. Sometimes though a guy just needs to get away for a while." He paused and watched her not liking the amused expression she wore one bit. He was in no mood for games, Usurper ones or otherwise. "What's your excuse?"

’Gods dammit.’ Drew thought as he walked along holding his twitching right hand. ’The last thing I need is a flair up now of all times. His Huntington’s Disease had a bad habit of striking at the most inopportune times causing uncontrollable muscle spasms and making it difficult to do some pretty basic things for himself but did it have to come right in the middle of sword practice? Drew was no shabby swordsman, in fact, he was probably one of the best around camp but that didn’t do him a bit of good if his sword arm could become useless at any moment like it had today. Not only did he drop his sword and narrowly avoid getting his arm chopped off but he was sure he looked like some kind of greenie who was bugging out after he ran off like he did. There would be questions when he got back for sure and questions were one thing that Drew didn’t like. He didn’t want the attention, didn’t want to be seen as weak and he especially didn’t want anyone finding out about his disease but he had no doubt the questions would come. Granted he could probably ice people out like he usually did but that wouldn’t make the situation any less annoying. He supposed he would have to suck it up eventually. At some point he would have to go back and face everyone he had left behind at the arena but for now he was at least alone. He could spend a few hours out here, hopefully cool off and let this attack run its course and then he could go back on his own terms. He just needed to find somewhere to relax. That’s when it happened. He wasn’t particularly trying to be quiet but he hadn’t really expected that he needed to be either. Apparently he was wrong because as he stepped on a twig snapping it under foot he suddenly heard a girl's voice snap at him from nearby. Just what he needed. Normally he wouldn’t have said anything but he was angry and maybe a little irritable from the flare up that still had his hand twitching and at the moment he had no patience for some territorial camper who thought they owned the damn forest. “Piss off I’m just walking here. Last I checked the forest was open for anyone so just lay off.”Hannah Nichols

Drew took another drag on his cigarette as he listened to the guy respond. At least Leo seemed to be catching on fast. If everything went according to plan it should be a pretty cut and dry mission. Granted they would have to be careful not to get caught but no one should be at the forge at this time of night. However, he wasn't so sure about the guy's suggestion. They didn't need to over complicate things and that might be what they were doing here if they started taking weapons from the armory.
"We need to be careful." He said as he released the held smoke in a long jet. "They might not notice a few weapons here and there but what if they do? We can't risk revealing ourselves too soon and this is a pretty big risk for just a few swords and daggers." He finished and took another drag as he let that sink in. Hopefully this wouldn't end up being a problem but it really made more sense. Stick to the plan and keep things simple for now. No unnecessary risks. "Besides," he said after a moment had past. "It's not like we need them. I don't know about you but I prefer my own weapon over breaking in a new one."

Drew noticed the approach of the son of Kratos and let him come in silence. He had no idea who this guy was, the Usurpers weren't really known for being talkative or very public about their membership, but he did know the guy's name so when Leo gave it finishing the introduction off with the typical don't ask any questions routine Drew thought it only added to the overly dramatic atmosphere. Still, he guessed he could understand. The less people that knew about you the better. No one knew that better than Drew did himself.
"Drew." He said plainly. If this guy wanted to keep things simple and just get down to business then he could follow along. The sooner they got this done the sooner he could get on with his evening. "I'm guessing no one gave you the run down so I'll fill you in. We need to cause a little trouble with the weapons and armor around camp. Nothing too fancy but enough to make sure no one poses any real threat when the time comes to make our move. I've got something that should poison the ore so that the forges are pumping out swords that will snap like twigs when they are used. It should do the trick and with any luck we can be in and out without running into any trouble."

Who was he? If he knew that for certain then he wouldn’t be sitting out here asking himself that exact same question. The girl had no clue about all of that though and she probably wouldn’t really care for him barfing all those inner thoughts all over her when she had just been coming out for a walk along the beach. That being the case he decided to go with answer that required the least amount of explanation on his part. “You can call me Drew if you like though Girl-who-creeps-on-the-beach isn’t much easier.”
Drew wasn’t sure who this girl was but she at least seemed like she could take a little sarcasm especially since she apparently liked to dish it out. Not that he really would have cared if she didn’t. This was simply the way he was and he had never really seen the point in trying to change that to please other people. Still, it was good to know that he wouldn't have to worry about hurting any of those pesky little feelings most people complained so much about. "Hermes cabin?" He asked wondering about her sibling comment. They were the most well known trouble makers around camp and if that was the case he supposed he couldn't blame her for the comment.

A bright flare light briefly illuminated the shadows as Drew struck a match and lit his cigarette. The match light soon died as he shook it out but a red glow remained as he drew deeply on the cig. He supposed it was a bit melodramatic a meeting under the cover of night, cigarettes lit and rebellion to discuss. All he really needed was for some tense music to start playing and it would be a scene from a movie. That was fine. Drew didn't mind and besides it was kind of appropriate for the meeting he was having tonight.
He was meeting with one of the Usurpers. He wasn't sure why he had been assigned a partner for this mission. Drew was used to working alone and he was good at it but that didn't matter because whoever was at the top of the group had thought this act of subterfuge they were planning was a task for two so here he was waiting. This might not work out well of course. Drew wasn't really known for working well with others when he didn't want to but he supposed that it would all depend on who they teamed him up with. Only time would tell but one thing was for sure this was going to be interesting.

Who was he supposed to be? It was a question that he had asked himself many times over the years. Just as many times he thought he had answered that question only to find himself right back where he started asking the same question over again. He had thought that he was supposed to be a son but his mother had apparently moved on and forgotten him. He had thought he was supposed to be a demigod but what kind of a funny demigod did he make cursed as he was with a disease that would eventually bring him to his knees? Now he found himself playing the part of betrayer to the gods, a spirit of vengeance, a means to bring about a change. Something certainly needed to change and he was willing to do it but he couldn't help but wonder if this role wouldn't turn out like all the others. Only time would tell.
His tune carried most of these lonesome, confused thoughts with it as he whistled and even though the night was quiet Drew was so lost in the music that he didn't notice anyone approaching until they got closer. By that time it was too late to do anything about it so he let his song finish out as he heard someone speak up behind him. Drew turned slightly to glance at the girl that had joined him and then turned his gaze back out to the sea as he thought of how to respond. If he had known she was within earshot he probably wouldn't have started up at all but he hadn't and so here they were.
"I don't pretend to be something I can't." He said with a slight shrug of his shoulders as he kept his eyes glued towards the water. "I suppose I have some talent for it though." There was a slight pause as something of a frown passed over his face as if he felt something unpleasant but when he spoke again it was in a tone that was curious rather than annoyed as his words might suggest. "Don't you know it's not nice to sneak up on people without warning?"

So the dino is flying off to the big city of New York for a business trip. I'll be gone most of the week and probably won't be around much for posting or chat but I should be able to check in from time to time.  ... I will return though so never fear. |

Drew sat on the beach looking out at the dark waves as they rolled in and broke against the shore. In his mind his thoughts were far away but the sounds of the sea and the silence were relaxing. That was good because apart from relaxing and dozing out here in the fresh air with the sea breeze hitting him in the face he probably wouldn't get any sleep tonight. His Huntington's was acting up causing those stupid uncontrollable jerks and spasms that he couldn't really ignore and that reminded him just how mortal he really was. No, there would be no sleep from him tonight but maybe the sea would help him relax a little. One could only hope.
As he sat and watched he began to whistle a slow and somber tune. It was something in a blues style that he had actually come up with himself and the sound of it, which carried quite well over the empty waters, was a little haunting in its loneliness. That he did write his own music was something he didn't really tell a lot of people about. Not that he had a lot of people to tell but that was beside the point. Still, music was a part of him and that was something that he couldn't deny. It was one of the few things that seemed to stay constant in his life and in a life that was seriously lacking in things to ground himself to that made it all the more important.
He hoped he didn't lose the ability as his disease progressed. He had heard a lot of things about Huntington's Disease over the years and none were good. Still, he hoped he would at least be allowed to keep his mind. Things didn't always work out like that though. He had seen enough of the world to know that first hand. That being said he had gotten good at letting go of things over the years. He had learned to live in the moment so he would do that now and while the future held a lot of uncertainties for him he would keep on whistling the blues while he was able. If anyone had ever had a right to it was him.

Drew and Leo
They could be assigned to work together on something. Maybe causing some trouble or a distraction around camp? Maybe have them meeting up to discuss it?

Drew and Leo
I may just be in a mood for Drew since he's my newest character but I think Leo and Drew could be fun to play with. I don't think they would get along very well since Leo is a son of Kratos and Drew is very rebellious toward authority figures but they are working for the same team so they might have a working relationship where they butt heads. Plus we need some more usurper stuff going on I think. In any case let me know what you think.

| FREESTYLE APPLICATION Thomas Dekker - Nineteen – Camp Halfblood – Heterosexual - Single Born to Die My name is Andrew Desher. I'm the only son of Lt. Vivian Desher of the Miami PD. My father is Thanotos, keeper of the gates of death. I am also dying. Some might find that ironic, the son of Death being born to die but I don't and while I have come to grips with my own mortality my curse makes me questions the gods and their decisions for the world. That's getting a little ahead of myself though and maybe I should start from the beginning. I learned I was dying at the age of thirteen when I was diagnosed with Huntington's Disease. Don't ask me about it. I know the basics like the fact that there is something wrong with my nervous system and my body is slowly shutting down. I suppose some would be more worried about receiving a death sentence but being the son of Death has giving me sort of a grim sense of mortality even if I wasn't aware of who my father was at the time. In any case I've heard my condition is treatable, that my symptoms can be controlled, but I know better. My mom wanted to help, wanted to try and get me the best doctors money could buy but she couldn't guarantee that I wouldn't end up spending my life in a hospital. That wasn’t the life I wanted to live and besides, I know how things will turn out. No matter how I play it I'll end up dying a horrible death. Searching for Purpose on Borrowed Time After I found out how bad things would get for me I decided I couldn't put my mom through the things that would come. I'd rather die tomorrow being me than live for years in a hospital bed so I ran away from home. I was also mad at the gods. Why would they let one of their children be born with a terminal illness? What was the point when everything would end so soon? These were questions I couldn't answer but I set off on my own to try and find a sense of purpose for my life. Unfortunately answers were something that were in short supply and as I traveled I only seemed to find more worthless confusion. I saw the sick and dying wherever I went. They always seemed to be attracted to me and I helped them find some peace where I could but in each pair of dying eyes I only saw the same question that plagued me, why? Were the gods really so cruel? In the end I decided yes they were. They just didn't care and something needed to change. Misguided and Misunderstood Eventually I found my way to Camp Half-blood. There I finally learned the truth about my powers and what I was but even though I found a place of relative safety I still didn’t find the answers I was looking for. I tried to fit in but I still didn’t see a point to life if it was going to be ruled by the gods. Eventually I left for a while and decided I would try going back to the one place I was supposed to always be able to go back to. Home. I was a fool. When I finally got there I didn't find the home I remembered. Instead of finding a place where I could ground myself I discovered that my mom had moved on. There was a new family where before it had been only me and her, there were people I didn't know in my house and sleeping in my old room. With this new family she had apparently forgotten me and that only served to cement in my mind that I really had no place in the world among the living. I didn't even go inside. When I saw how happy my mom was I couldn't bring myself to open up wounds that had obviously scared over and healed. I'm sick. I had no right to expect her to remember me and take care of me so I came crawling back to camp even more confused about my place in the world than before I left. Fortunately this time I didn't come back without a purpose. I was still angry at the gods but knew there weren't any reasonable answers to the futility I saw. I did find another kind of answer though in the way to get even. Before I got back at camp I was approached by a group of people that felt the same about the gods as I did. They were called the Usurpers and when they approached me with their plan I finally saw a chance to avenge myself for all the ridiculous, unfair absurdity of my life. Now I've come to a crossroads. I don’t know how much longer I’ve got but I won't spend my remaining days sulking. I have no regrets. I have made my choices and lived as I did. I still have time to make one more choice though and if I can do this one thing to leave my mark on the world then it will all be worth it. None of us should have to live with being the gods’ playthings and if I have anything to say about it that’s all going to change. name; Rex time zone; CST |
