Oh thank the gods!

Tonight went better than I could I hope for!  Sean and I drove down to town to go clubbing.  Went to a club called Pandemonium which didn't check IDs cause lets face it, Sean and I are fucking hot.

He and I sat and talked for a while and I found out he is like the other half of my soul.  Not it that sickening love way, cause let's face it I don't believe real love exists.  No he is like the male version of me.  We fit.  We both come from fucked up pasts, we both believe in not limiting yourself to only half the population for partners, and are both quite comfortable with who we are.  Better still when I told him about my past he never once apologized for something he was not around for and couldn't control.  There is no worse fake apology then when someone apologizes like that.

Sean found us a group to dance with and I choose to try out a hot, built guy, and this cute blond girl to go dance with.  Problem was the guy had no rhythm and the girl couldn't kiss her way out of a paper bag (which mean neither would be any fun in bed.)  Thankfully I saw my friend Javier and we talked a bit and danced for a song till Sean came over.  We danced for a bit and let me tell you the boy's got moves.  After a bit we headed back to the VIP lounge and things got fun.  His lips are like magic and sex with him is like a piece of heaven.  Now I could be saying this because I haven't gotten any in a month but I'm fairly certain his skill was what did it.  We took a break and talked more.  He doesn't do monogamy which is a tad disappointing as sharing a talent like him is not something I am used to but it's fine.  It made me examine how I feel on the subject.  I have always kept things casual, especially after what happened 2 years ago, but it is a bit of shame to think if I wanted him to myself I couldn't have it that way.  Oh well.

He and I set up a system and best yet he can't get me pregnant....THANK THE GODS!  We decided not to out right tell anyone but if they ask there's no reason to hide it, and I told him I won't restrain myself from kissing those magic lips either.

Ah yes tonight went better than I hoped it would....we didn't get home till 5am because we fucked till the club closed...yes Sean and I are a good fit.

An upswing!!

Apparently Dave is going to go hunt down one his relics that have gone missing.  No no no that's not the up side (though it would have been a day ago.)  The upside is he and I finally sat down and talked.  Things with Dave have been rocky from the start.

First was the incident with his cup.  I hate people who lie and tell half truths and he started out by doing so.  Well we talked and turns out the brew helps him to know when the drinker is in trouble.  While that is a good thing it would have saved us some trouble if he had just said so.  But he didn't want to freak anyone out so he refused to elaborate at the time.

Second was his macho attitude.  This boys are better than girls thing REALLY irritates me.  I had enough of that shit from Alejandro I didn't need it here.  So we talked about that too.  He get's it from his dad, Thor, who apparently has this "my sons are better than Siff's daughters attitude" about things.  But he promised to work on it which I appreciate.  He also asked about my visions which, even though I know very little about, I tried to explain to him.

Our third topic, and the one I was dreading the most, was over my killing the bear.  Turns out he needs blood for some of his brewing.  I told him it isn't the blood I need but the kill, and the heart.  Without them my "family" thinks the world will cease to exist.  No one has ever not done sacrifice to see what happens (not that I blame them.  If they were right then bye bye world.)  Thing is if I don't take my sacrifices in battle daddy dearest might start to force me to look elsewhere...

So we talked and we're good now.  I hope he will be ok on this trip of his and gave him my cell just in case.  When he gets back we will have to go drinking together, I think he will be surprised at how well I do.

Still waiting for that damn up swing...

SO I met with Dr. Lord again to discuss my oracular abilities.  While he isn't gifted with Prophecy a few of his bandmates are.  He told me to be careful about self-fulfilling my visions...that worrying about them can make them come true.  He unsheathed his machete which I guess cancels the earlier warning I got.

I asked about his band.  He was nice enough to tell me about them and, as Fate would have it, his fiance may be able to help me focus my visions, which would be nice.

And things seem to be getting worse with Dave.  He has this sexist attitude that grates on my nerves something fierce...then there was the incident after the fight...but I'll get to that later.

So as we get ready for Biology Lab Dr.Lord appears missing a leg...talk about a HOLY FUCK! moment.  But as concerned as I was I held myself back, reminding myself that he would not have shown up if he wasn't ok.  It was likely to show us what can happen and will happen to us later on.  As it turns out he had been captured by some Aztec's who sacrificed his leg, oh and Itzpapalotl, minor Aztec goddess showed up.  I need to remember to learn more about her an the other minor beings of my "family."  

At the same time Tepini finally contacted me to tell me they had found the lair.  The coyote and bird stayed there as Tepini and Miyet came to get us.  While we were talking about how to deal with the bears I had a freak show moment and my visions told me an amethyst was the source of all the misfortune.  So after shooting down some bad ideas we decided to face the problem head on after asking our resident dwarf some questions.  Coach didn't know anything about any amethysts so it was a dead end.  Better to have covered our bases though.

Barry (oh yeah Dr. Lord made the others go with us when Sadie and Lionel showed signs of not wanting to go) lured out the two cubs first and they went down fairly easy.  Then the three adults came and I was concerned but given the ease that the cubs went down how much tougher could they be?  As they came charging out though I saw a cloaked figure standing farther back in the woods, smiling.

Freakshow happened again this time telling me he had an amethyst and OMG my head hurt until the vision dropped.  I focused and was able to get that getting that amethyst would stop the chaos.  So I had Tepini circle around behind the man, said a prayer to my father (slitting my wrist of course....gods forbid he answer me WITHOUT needing blood) and Tepini launched himself at the man ripping his hand off!  It was the smoothest most spectacular thing I have seen him do!  

When I took that crystal from him the bears shrunk and as I grasped it I felt the full force of it's power.  My head felt like it was in a vice grip.  I dropped it and Sean wrapped a sash around and picked it up.  I decided to take Dr. Lord's advice on the sacrifices my dad wants and took the heart of the dying bear (the other had fled, and we killed one adult.)  When I did Dave screamed at me about wanting to try something.  Frankly I don't care what he wanted to do.  Better to take this bear's heart then have my father try to force me to take a person's life.

Turns out this man is an Alfar and the gem was controlling him.  Dave got a bit rougher with him than I would have liked...after all I'm a walking lie detector, and Jahi had a small break down of her own.  She wouldn't talk about it though.  Eventually Coach and Dr. Lord showed up and again things are weird with them.  Coach takes the stone and hands it to Dr. Lord to examine...something with that stone is just evil, and dangerous.  Dr. Lord had a flash of Mystery and said, "Angus, I swear on the oath we made in Moira's pub that what I'm about to tell you is of the utmost importance: Get these kids back to the campus. Make sure you're not being followed. And for the love of the gods, DO NOT GIVE THEM ANYTHING TO DRINK!"

When I got back I prayed to my father asking for him to come talk to me.  I doubt he will but hey, it can't hurt to ask right?

So yeah, still not hitting that up swing.  I think I will go hit the clubs this weekend.  I'm almost positive Cory and Sean will come with me.

If life is supposed to be ups and downs, I'd love to hit an up swing. kthx?

So I don't know WHY I did it but somehow I managed to spill my guts to Alex and Jahi.  Damn it all.  I mean what is going to happen if it get's back to Alejandro?  Damn. DAMN DAMN DAMN!

I've spent a lot of time working out and reading...at least them I am less likely to reveal any more.  These visions have been a bitch lately.  Channeling Fate like that takes a lot out of me.  And a lot of it is "if this happens you are doooooooooooomed!!!111!!!" kind of things.  Like Dr. Lord's sword.  The next time he pulls it in my presence all hope of winning is lost.  And I found out my dad gave it to him.  Today during his biology class I found out about Dr. Lord's band...and that they are key to our surviving this semester.  Why can't I get a vision of my next boyfriend or something?  Oh wait cause that would be normal for mortals and I'm no longer either of those.

We sent our pets out to search for more bears, hoping to find their home and clues as to who is making them.  I worry for Tepini's safety but our connection means I will know the moment anything happens.

Oh and in class we met a new student.  Liam O'Doherty, a scion like us.  Turns out he is the sports super star from my school ((Hi Fate! >:())  Dr. Lord ran some slides showing us what we can expect in our new life and then gave us a sort of placement test...C-.  UGH!  Not a good start.

After that Jahi and I had Mythology class.  While I did learn some new things it was fun to make fun of the stuff we knew was wrong.  Well I need to get ready to meet with Dr. Lord, I really need to talk to him about this Prophecy stuff.

Unpacking

This room is tiny...good thing I didn't pack like my mother wanted me too.  Got my dresses hung up in the closet, why mother thought I would need more than 3 formal dresses is beyond me but on the up side she got Donetella {OOC note: Donetella is the designer for Versace} to make me a new dress and despite my hatred for my mother I do appreciate her fashion connections.  The dresser thankfully holds my jeans and most tops, though I had to hang my corsets up.

My desk holds all my electronics and the obsidian jaguar I found in the antiques shop.  I really love the ruby eyes.  I am able to store the gun in one of the drawers and since I can call it to me at any time I am not overly concerned anyone will take it.  I am worried about what to do with my dagger.  For now I think I will keep it in my boot.

I'm really unsure of what to do with my wall space.  At home we weren't allowed to put up anything so it never crossed my mind.  I think I will go buy a white board and cork board for now.

Again I find my self needing to thank my mother (is it possible she actually cares a little?) since she packed a nice foam mattress topper and the highest thread count silk sheets possible.  Will make the bed bearable when I finally do need to sleep.

Well I am off to go help Jahi with some shopping...she likes to cook apparently.  Maybe I can find my boards too.

"Activities" day is...active...

One of our two missing students made it.  His name is Dave and he is a Scion of Thor.  Nothing much to look at but he's a drinker which initially made him ok in my book (more to come on that later.)

So it's the day before classes and they had an activities fair.  Good thing too I was wondering who I had to see about the paper.  I forgot my articles up stairs so I had to run up and get them but I managed to get them turned in with my application to write for the paper as a gossip columnist again.  Saying a quick prayer to dad on this one.  It's hard as a freshman to get in on anything.

After that I hung by Alex and Dave at the mats laid out for wrestling and gymnastics.  The wretlers were having their turn.  Alex intrigued them so a boy who is their star athlete stepped up but he was no match for Alex...ichor will do that for you but somehow I think Alex could have taken him regardless.  Of course in the middle of this I go all freak show again.  But this time it was important...I had to make sure Alex and Dave didn't wrestle the short guy (who was not yet present.)

Ren and Jahi went off to find the archery display but I decided to stick with the muscle...had to make sure they stayed away from little guys after all. 

After a few minutes I got a weird feeling and glanced a building to see the shortest man I have ever seen!  In fact he's a dwarf...a no shit dwarf and apparently he's the coach of the wrestling team.  He tried to goad the boys into wrestling him and for a second there it looked like Dave would give into the urge but he backed down thank the gods.
Coach MacLaggin informs us he needs to talk to us, needs our help and will talk with us later when suddenly Barry comes stumbling out from the woods and he is REALLY messed up.  MacLaggin tells us it's nemean bears that are attacking his coloney and one has likely followed Barry, so off we go to hunt it down.  Tepini helped us find it and it didn't take long.  Let me tell you, when you see a black bear that is larger than a grizzly and he's mad....well it takes everything in you not to run (unless you are a Scion of course...we tend to be compelled to fight.)

Let me tell you these creatures are TOUGH!  Dave got the thing wrestled to the ground which helped immensely and Jahi, Ren and I took out it's eyes and hit it in it's much squishier mouth and Alex pummeled it (again all I can say about Alex is WOW! I wonder what he is like in...nevermind.)  I said a prayer to dad and OMG have you ever seen an eye explode!  Cause that's what happened to this bear! 

Anyway Alex finished it off when Dr. Lord appeared, congradulating us.  Dave was chanting over his mug and passed it around "as a sign of friendship."  Alex took a swig as did Ren and Jahi but when I asked Dave to tell about what it does both good and bad I sensed he wasn't telling me the whole truth so I passed.  He tried to press the issue, which quite frankly makes me suspect him even more.  I don't know what he's trying to pull but I don't like it.

Coach showed up and I got the distinct feeling that he and Dr. Lord have an uncomfortable shared history; wonder how I can find out about it. 

Then there was this weird exchange between Ren and Alex.  Ren asked about if the dwarves had set up in the breeding grounds of the bears and Alex made a comment about them being titanspawn and that means they need to be killed.  Ren said something about titanspawn having feelings and rights and Alex practically exploded.  I guess he lost a girlfriend and a lot of high school friends to a titanspawn attack.  Thankfully he calmed down and they seemed to make amends. 

Coach told us they checked the site out before moving in and there was nothing.  It makes me think someone has to be creating the bears and if that's true simply taking the bears out won't solve the problem.  Coach took the carcas with him and said he could make armor out of it amongst other things, we just have to decide who wants/gets what...we'll see how well that conversation goes.

A few things are certain...I need to get better with this gun and I need to find out what Dave is hiding about that drink.

College...YAY

Harmon University...Yay.  I swear if my dad weren't a god I'd just blow him off but I am positive that would cause me more problems than a temper tantrum is worth.  All I could think as I pulled up is it's not Columbia and damn it all I'm gonna miss Gino's Pizza Shack.  I'm still not used to having an adult in my life who seems to care and to be honest I don't trust his motives but for now I guess all I can do is shut up and color...and pay close attention.

When I pull up to my dorm hall I see 4 other kids waiting, one girl even has her dad with her.  We meet our "Adviser" who, as The Bitch would have it, is Dr. Lord...Demigod Scion of QuetzalcoĆ”tl.  At first I had a moment of panic...after all he and my father aren't known to get a long well.  But he claims not to judge based on our heritage...we'll see about that one.  He has a jaguar too called Ix Chel but she is his Nargual and different from Tepini...I'll have to find out more about this.

Our hall is apparently not here.  That is, it is a Terra Incognita...a sort of demi-plane.  It gives us a place to be ourselves and be hidden from the mortals.  Nice too cause if I had to keep Tepini locked away all the time he'd have a hissy fit (pun completely intended.)

So we all got to meet with Dr. Lord and our hall mates.  Let me break it down like this:

Alex: Scion of Hephaestus-the kid is over 7ft tall I swear and drop dead gorgeous.  I mean he is likely as pretty as me!
Ren: Scion of Izanagi-computer kid, has a pet bird a bit shy and quiet...wonder what he's hiding...
Jahiera:Scion of Bastet-seems like a nice girl, has a pet cat that makes Tepini happy when he sees her (i'll have to keep an eye on him...)  Bastet, keeper of secrets...hmm...
Hank: Scion of Shango-ROTC kid, seems like a tough I can kick your butt kind of person.  Hope he can teach me to shoot this gun better...
Lionel: Scion of Nergal-very private person...
Cory: Scion of Coyote-VERY good looking surfer kid with a cocky streak...I can't wait to have a little fun with him!
Sonia: Scion of Sun Wukong-quiet, shy, seems sweet, into films not sure what kind but as she is my roommate I am sure I will find out all about them.
Sadie: Scion of Parvati-Bitch.  Comes from money, stuck up, pain in the ass BITCH.  I feel bad Jahi got stuck with her and look forward to knocking her down a peg or six.
Barry: Scion of Vahram-of this redneck is a piece of mother fucking work!  He starts off by insulting all of us, "can't believe you city folk're taking this whole pagen bullshit seriously."  Redneck asshole.  He thinks one of "Lord Jesus" angels came and gave him gifts and called our parents "queer gods" from "primitive story books" and "demons."  It was all I could do to keep Tepini from ripping his throat out not that I wanted to hold him back. We've been informed we can't kill him but all else is fair game...he has some HARD lessons to learn and we are more than happy to teach him, but Dr. Lord went ahead and dropped in the forest to cool off and learn so it will have to wait.

As it turns out The Bitch (Fate) made us have a Biology class with Dr. Lord at 8am Mon, Wed, Fri and the schedule cannot be altered in anyway (Dr. Lord tried as he is not pleased with it either.)

Of course right as he's handing out packets and room assignments The Bitch decides to make me go all freak show.  Visions are helpful and all but they really can come at bad (or at least not good) times.  I'll have to make a separate journal of visions to keep track of them I think.

It was an interesting way to start college that's for sure and I think I will start researching everyone's pantheons...I don't like not knowing something so important.  Good thing I'm taking that "Mythology" course too.  Well here's hoping I can get in with the school paper and gymnastics team.  If I can manage one or both of those this college won't be so bad...right?
