He made it into his room and secured his belongings without disturbing his flat mates. He laid down and managed to get a few hours sleep. Waking up he slid out of bed and then stood. He normally only wore compression shorts and running shoes, pretty much anywhere, even to his classes at Cal Poly. But something made Nicky slip a pair of jeans on. Stepping into the common area of the flat with a small book bag slung over his shoulder, he noticed that the other members of his House had left already. He didn’t need to take a shower just yet, as he had taken one yesterday evening. So he exited his House and began following the crowds to the main gate where the festivities were to begin at some point.<br/><br/>Nicky noticed a wide variety of people milling about the beautiful estate. Some wore modern cloths, others wore cloths more reminiscent of ancient Greece. Nicky wouldn't know til later that among the Greeks and their gods that men trained and fought in the nude. Crowds didn't usually overwhelm him but being in a new situation with people he didn't know made him a little more weary. Nicky wouldn't know it until later but part of his trepidation was being among equals. He had always stood out, always been the most interesting and accomplished person in the crowd. But how does one distinguish themselves among fellow demigods? That's not a question he could answer yet.
