Its All in the Details! [open][qr]

[Lorelei Asphodel]

Lorelei sashayed around her large desk, which had now been taken over by loads of wedding magazine cutouts and plenty of her own designs strewn about in a crazed, but still somehow organized mass.

As she picked up a stack of floral arrangement designs, a light came up from her left hand and a bright smile came over her lips, "I'm gonna be a wife, not a girlfriend, a wife..." The words actually tasted so very sweet and wonderful to her, she could not help to let her gaze stare down at the gorgeous flower shaped diamond ring on her finger. It had always been her dream to marry someone she truly loved, and now she was getting that chance...

A swift two shock punches from her stomach sent her back into the moment, they were hard enough that Lorelei had to slam the papers in her hand down and put both palms on her desk to keep from bowling over.

"Alright ya'll darlin' little sweet angels, next one to punch or kick in the next few minutes is getting grounded the minute you come out."

A few moments passed before three little bodies decided to play gymnast inside Lori's womb, "Oof. Okay, I see ya'll are definitely gonna be a handful, but ya'll's momma can take a whole lot more than that." She smiled and rubbed her now much noticeably large belly before getting back to work.

"If you guys wanna tumble around in there be my guest, but I am marrying your father come Hades or Poseidon, so keep it down a bit."

A graceful lowering down of her ballooning body into her very comfortable work chair was all it took for the little ones to calm right back down, and for Lorelei to get a moment to go on with her planning, hopefully some people would be by today that she could delegate jobs to...

[Jukka Thorson]

Jukka hadn't been awake too long. He wasn't sure what he should be doing, but he knew that it was something other then sitting in the infirmary. He had been staying there over night and the same four walls was starting to get old. Jukka tried to steady himself before pulling an orange shirt over his barreld chest. It had been years since he had donned the camp tee-shirt, but it felt comforting. He had been getting very little sleep at night, maybe only sleeping for fifteen minutes for any given period. He had been plagued by meomries and flashbacks of his time spent in the DCA jails. The cold hard cells void of anything save for a single window showing the hallway. Around him he could hear the screams and shouts of the others who, like him, had been caught by the DCA.


However there was a person he remembered from camp. He remembered some people, others not so much. But he remembered Lori. He had liked her fairly well and heard she had taken over the camp. Jukka felt obliged to at least say hi to her an offer his services once he had recovered enough to be released from the infirmary. So he climbed up the steps of the Big house, where the head healer had mentioned her office was. As he approached, he heard some talking so he paused, his hand hovering over the door. But despite himself he knocked anyways, the door swung open slightly. "Hello?" He called, almost half hoping no one would answer.

Lorelei had finally settled down and quite comfortable as she was about to go through her detailed planning stages, the triplets would still tumble about at times but she could care less as long as no one was zapping or beating her from the inside, as the door popped open and a large figure stood in the frame.

The daughter of Persephone looked up and smiled, "Hello there Jukka, I am so happy to see you awake and moving, and I know many of us are delighted with your safe return." She knew exactly what the man had gone through, it was her job to protect those inside the camp from that fate, but she also knew that if there was anyone who could be rescued, that someone would try, Levi was the one who did it this time.

"Please take a seat," she motioned to the large padded high back chairs across from her on the other side of her desk, "I always enjoy company and I have a feeling you may wanna have a little chat, which is just fine with me."

She leaned even farther back in her chair, stretching out her compressing spine just a bit before scooting as close to the desk in front of her and digging through all the files, "Ah, yes here we are..." She grabbed up a large leather bound file, it looked like generally like everyone else's but each had the initials of the person branded into the hide, "its your file if you didn't figure that already, I want to make sure I am prepared to answer any question." She smiled her brightest smile at the man hoping it wasn't going to be too hard of a discussion.

[Jukka Thorson]

Jukka had changed. He knew that when he had first decided to knock instead of putting his boot through the door and kicking it down. During his military service, Jukka learned to follow certain rules and protocols and SOP’s. Now that he had been back at camp, he knew he would have to pull his weight and see what he could do to help out. He wanted to give his experience with the DCA to make sure that the kids around here were prepared for the things that were going on out there. Jukka knew he still had a good bit of healing to do, but he wanted to get past that and back to working and doing things worthwhile instead of sitting around like a turtle on a log.

“When you see Levi, thank him for me. I know he’s busy so I don’t want to bother him. But it feels nice to be safe here.” Jukka said with a nod. He took a seat across from Lori’s desk. The chair was comfortable and it almost was something more than wonderful to a person who had spent so long in a steel cell. “I hope I’m not intruding on anything important, I just wish to see what I can do to help once I recover fully.” Jukka watched as Lori plopped his file down in front of him, he raised an eyebrow at the massive file. Gods only knew what was in there. Jukka could only remember flashes and certain people from his time spent at camp. Slowly some of it was returning but most of it was still fuzzy. But he remembered most of the important people. Jukka eyed his massive file. “What on earth is all that?” He asked.

Jukka wasn’t sure what questions he had to ask, sure there were a good bit of them, but he didn’t know where to start. Despite what was said about the Ares kids, Jukka did have a brain and right now it was being pelted with a huge storm of questions. “It’s just trying to find a place to sort through all these questions I have. I don’t know much since I’ve apparently have selective amnesia, or whatever those Apollo kids call it.” Jukka shook his head, as if it was going to help him re-arrange his thoughts or bring the important ones to the forefront.

Lorelei smiled at the large man as he entered, "I will be sure to send your gratitude his way, I know that he only did it out of love, not needing anything but you here and safe." She watched as he sat, she leaned back in her chair, rubbing her stomach.

"No never intruding! I love when people come by to chat with me!" She chuckled a bit and nodded, "Of course I have a job for you! I was hoping you'd be interested in being our Olympian Game Master, you would create and lead games for inside the arena."

She rested her head back, a small pain in her side happened, but it seemed like nothing right then, looking at the file in her hand, "You're entire life history... Think like everything you could ever want to know about yourself, anything else you wouldn't like others to know about..." She flopped the thing back onto her desk with a thud.

She nodded her head at the idea, "I understand... I truly understand not wanting to be standing around with nothing to do, I just need you in a position where if any of your PTSD moments pop up, you don't risk harming a camper without safety equipment on."

Lorelei sighed and pushed herself up, the pain in her side spreading to her back, she furrowed her brow, realizing what was beginning to happen. "Now Jukka, you will get your memories back. Apparently you have found April, and she is probably the best person here to help you get your mind back in order. From what I remember you guys were quite close..."

She began walking around the room stretching, but keeping what was going on to herself.

[Jukka Thorson]

"it's hard, but I'm glad that there's something I can do to help out around here. I owe you guys a debt of gratitude." Jukka said, rubbing a hand over his face. He didn't know what the details of the job entailed, but it would be something enjoyable from the sound of it. He could be in the Arena and train, re-adjust himself from military training to greek training. "My moments are getting better, slowly but they are getting better." He commented in an offhanded voice. "So... Questions..." Jukka searched for what to ask. "I know I'm a son of Ares, but it's been so long I don't remember many others that are children of Ares too. I know I have to have sibblings..." Jukka frowned as he tried to remember. His brain hurt hard. He desperately wanted to know. "What's been going on since I left two years ago? April said she got killed by something?" Then Lori mentioned something about him and April being really close when he was at camp, Of course he could remember that particular part. "I remember her, I remember you and I remember Levi. Is Zephyr still around? What about Eliza? Anyone else that I might know still trying to hang around here?" Maybe if he heard the names and bits of descriptions, he could put faces to the names that he remembered. HE shook his head just trying to think. "sorry Lori, i know this might seem stupid." he apologized.

[Lorelei Asphodel]

"You owe us nothing, we just want your safety and happiness."

She rubbed her stomach a bit, smiling, "I'm glad things are getting better, you know your family and friends will help as much as they can, so no worries, everyone understands that your mind is a little fuzzy right at this moment." Lorelei spoke the truth on that note, she wanted to make sure that Jukka understood that everyone was understanding and wanted him to be happy.

On the subject of the past two years, Lorelei sat herself back down, especially at the mention of April's death, "April was attacked by a gorgon who got into the camp borders via the ocean, she was believed to be deceased, until she well... was found not to be so. Luckily for her and all of us, her powers figured out how to put her back together. We did have a funeral and there is even a tombstone out there, but it seems April has carved her back to life into it." A slight laugh came of that.

"In the last two years so much has happened that I couldn't put it all into even a day, but I can answer all of your questions; Zephyr and Eliza are both here, with their son Conor, age four. Most people have come back, but we have lost many..."

Another uncomfortable pain came up and she had to adjust in her chair, wincing slightly, "Not dear Jukka, not stupid at all... Please do not apologize, you need questions answered and that is part of my job."
