<strong>Chloe Stanger: Can't they make these things out of plastic? It's much lighter!</strong><br/><br/>"Uh, yeah, hi... I'm Chloe. Chloe Stanger. I have no idea why I'm here..." Chloe paused as she helped Abigale lift the statue back onto it's plinth. "This funny little guy, one of them..." She pointed at the creature that was helping the confused looking guy, "popped up in my chemistry class, right after the experiment I was doing ... uh... went wrong. It babbled something about a hydra and having to rescue me..." She shrugged. "I thought a hydra was some kind of fresh water mud worm... but I guess he was talking about a multi-headed dragon or something?"<br/><br/>Chloe laughed at that. The 'orientation speech' given by the guy called Mr D, and the other one by the ... uh... Centaur was the only word she could think of, left more questions unanswered, but it was clear that either this was the most elaborate practical joke in history or something very peculiar was going on.<br/><br/>"What do they mean by 'demi-god'? At risk of sounding naive, do they think I'm some sort of god? That is seriously rich!" She looked around. "Uh, bag... well I seem to have my school bag here, although it's mostly full of chemistry and maths text books..." Chloe reached down and picked the bag up by one strap. unfortunately she grabbed the wrong end and the bag tipped up. It was unfastened and two heavy text books fell out. "Eeep. I'm such a klutz. Sorry!"
