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 Quetzalcoátl. 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?
