<div align="center"><em>Abigale winces at the thought of cabin wars...</em></div><br/><hr/><br/>When Chloe started going off about monsters, titans, movies, and mermaids...Abigale had to keep from laughing a little. This too was fairly common, 'I hate that movie. There weren't even any real titans in it," she shook her head, "But yes, there are monsters. Some aren't a big problem, but some are very powerful. The worst part is that monsters never really die. They just go away and eventually they come back, some just take longer than others to come back," which meant that the creature that had killed her mother would always be alive. That made Abigale a little sour, but she knew there was nothing that could be done about it. That's just the way things were, "And I would make sure to talk about Jason nicely. He was Hera's favorite, after all. It's never good to cross Hera," though Abigale didn't have much liking for the Queen of the Gods, "And yes, Merpeople are real too. It's rare to see them though. We usually just see Naiads, which are water spirits. Pretty much if you've read about it in a Greek Myth, it's real."<br/><br/>When the subject of powers came back up, Abigale was going to mention that most are rather subtle powers. Her own powers weren't nearly as flashy as a child of Zeus or Poseidon. Nor were they as functional as the powers and talents of the children of Hephaestus. In truth they were rather 'weak'. Abigale was a great runner because her father was the God of Speed and Travel. She could also probably break into the White House without getting caught because her father was also God of Thieves. Luckily, like all demi-gods, she was naturally wired for battle with her ADHD. If it weren't for that, the children of Hermes wouldn't be very useful in a fight, "Our powers vary..." but she didn't get to finish as she saw Chloe decided to try and display her 'power' right at the dinner table. Abigale was going to stop her, but before she could, the boy next to Chloe chucked a pear at Hephaestus table.<br/><br/>"Devon!" she snapped and the boy turned to look at her bewildered as if he didn't remember why he'd done that. As up for a little good nature fun as she was, it would be impossible for her not to enjoy the pranks her siblings sometimes played on the children of Aphrodite, she knew better than to do something like that. It would be one thing to throw a piece of fruit at a friend, but at random people was just asking for a war. It was sometimes bad enough with the children of Ares when they got pissy. Emotions were high enough right now with it being the first day. Abigale closed her eyes as she waited to see if it hit anyone, "Oh gods...it's going to be Ares setting fire to Apollo cabin all over again..."
