He had been putting his entire weight on the glass, straining to enhance the sound in whatever way he could, and when the door was removed, his hand slammed hard against the ground, shattering the glass and slicing up his palm. The Athena boy swore loudly, dropping a sentence the would make a marine look at him like an asylum escapee. Once the initial shock and pain subsided though, he noticed Carter's panicked expression and responded with a "fuck if I know" look.<br/><br/>He quickly hopped up though, wincing as he put pressure on his injured hand, and put on a casual look like he had been invited since the beginning. "Miss Hirasaka said we could make ourselves comfortable in her absence... I don't know what about that door was so calming, but maybe the heat's just getting to me today." He replied, bullshitting a half-baked excuse together. Seth already knew they were caught, but the academy had taught him to never admit to a crime until he was convicted.<br/><br/>With Akira's not-so-thinly veiled threat, Seth retreated alongside Carter... and not 10 seconds later did he burst back into the room, a defiant look on his face. "Now that I think of it, if the Village is in danger, you'd think the best strategists the gods have to offer would be needed. Or were you guys planning on making me think up a plan on the battlefield instead?" Seth declared, taking the 50/50 bet that he wasn't going to be murdered where he stood by some of the most powerful entities in the area. At the very least, he understood that the Elders weren't to be trifled with lightly, and after the shitshow he had incited earlier, Seth was pushing his luck extra hard.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://66.media.tumblr.com/1d733063b32fe8f657667791f79ef592/tumblr_ol7jnkSzFi1uimac5o1_400.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Nenene Hirasaka 比良坂寧々音</span><br/><strong>Blessed By::</strong>Hades<br/><strong>Location::</strong>Akira's room<br/><strong>Company::</strong>Akira, Jeremiah -> Akira, Jeremiah, Kenzie, Seth<strong>Mentioning::</strong>Carter, Lex<br/><strong>Date/Time::</strong>Saturday, June 20<br/><strong>Mood::</strong>Panic -> Frustration<br/><strong>Wearing::</strong><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Casual Clothes</div><div class="spoiler_body">[https://web-japan.org/trends/trend_scene/ts005/images/ts005_0032.jpg]</div></div><br/><hr/><br/>As the door pushed open to reveal Jeremiah, Nenene tensed and relaxed, worried she would have to defend her mentor. As much as she disliked using her gifts, if Akira was in danger, Nenene wouldn't hesitate for a second to step forward. A second opening of the door revealed a distraught Kenzie, to which the young Elder's body tensed defensively once more. This time, however, she didn't relax, as the open door revealed the two Athena boys eavesdropping on their discussion, and quite blatantly. She was about to reprimand the boys when Akira threatened their livelihood with her lightning, and Nenene knew better than to speak out of turn when the Head Elder was that agitated.<br/><br/>Instead the young woman remained silent and glowered at the troublemakers, and the lethal combination of intense auras seemed to work quite well in removing the pests. Until, that is, Seth returned in full force, and with a cocky attitude to boot. Now he was beginning to get on her nerves, but that was for a more private time where Nenene could be more blunt toward the younger man, and by then she'd likely forget her frustration anyway. For a few moments, her obsidian aura flared up, the stench of death and rot permeating throughout the room before passing as she settled down. With how asinine Seth had been with Lex and the others on the internet, and factoring his current behavior into the mix, she couldn't help but wonder how this manchild had managed to work his way through life thus far. Perhaps some fear would do him well now, but pressing matters took precedence, and it was true that having a Blessed of Athena would be a good advantage, especially one so... undaunted by this threat. As much as she loathed to admit, there was some admiration to be had for how he applied his stubbornness to such a task.<br/><br/>As the discussions continued however, Nenene was beginning to realize that all the signs so far pointed toward her being the most likely suspect, and coupled with her only having returned that morning, she could foresee the young ones targeting her as the true culprit in this incident. Her brow furrowed slightly as she examined the note, she shuddered slightly. There was malice in those words that only the angriest of spirits could rival, and venomous, seething anger.<br/><br/>"If you don't mind... We'll at least need to start patrols around the perimeter of the camp. If the Hephaestus folk'd help me, we can set up cameras and unmanned sentries as needed, and manned routes should be walked by groups of two or three. In fact, three might be best. Even if the culprit isn't amongst us, the paranoia when we announce this threat will set in quickly. We should stay quiet about it for at least tonight and tomorrow, but the Elders will need to gather those of us with combat oriented skillsets and experience and have us learn at least a little about each other's powers. Tonight though, is a matter of morale. Speaking from the perspective of someone a little more 'normal', if I was just finding out that someone had threatened the Village, I wouldn't be able to enjoy the party very much. That's all I wanted to say." Seth answered, praying that despite his rashness, the people gathered in the small room would take his idea under consideration.
