(https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=207204.msg10249160#msg10249160)<br/><strong>Cabin:</strong>Athena.<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Basketball Court.<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>September 24th, After breakfast<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Jamal, Mariam.<br/><strong>Notes:</strong>Wearing running shoes, black Nike shorts, white Tank Top and wrist band.<br/><hr/><hr/><br/>A crowd was beginning to the surround them and it wasn't a surprise. It's not often that you see treants growing out of the basketball court and sucking a man in. Yet just as Duke was fascinated by the problems, he was oh so grateful to it for bringing about such lovely eye candy. As Chester approached and offered him a glance, Duke offered a shrug in return. He was at a bit of a loss over what to do regarding freeing him, without actually cutting the vines, something Miriam seemed to protest. Yet as Chester flirted with the curly haired cutie, the corner of his eyes glanced something just as exotic. Perhaps even more so. Redheads! Oh wow, even better, Redhead twins! Curvaceous gorgeous redhead twins! His eyes were glued for a moment as they berated Jamal and teased him, his hand patting Chester's arm lightly without looking at him to direct his attention.<br/><br/>"yo yo yo, ladies, please. Jamal is a big boy, he can take care of himself." He spoke up as he got up from his little seat and kicked the ball away, walking over to Bella and Veleriya. He slid behind them and threw up his arms, placing them around their shoulders and pressing them ever so lightly to his side with a devious grin on his face. They were all familiar enough, from numerous encounters at Dionysus parties. Oh those were wild. Thus he was fairly sure that they wouldn't knee him in the balls or anything. Plus, Duke's height and wing span ensured that they could both be pressed against his side rather comfortably. "On a more important note, you two are looking as gorgeous as ever. Is that a new hair cut? I'm loving the curls darling." Duke's attention had been stolen, and he damn well knew Jamal would have suffered the same fate if he was in this position.<br/><br/>He wanted to save his friend, he really did, but Miriam seemed to deny him any chance of doing so in his own means. Duke didn't really want to think and give himself another headache, so he chose to trust her methods. Besides, the two beautiful Dionysus daughters were here to fix things, and he figured with three people that have some control over plant life, Jamal should be fine...then it spoke.<br/><br/>"The Hell?.."<br/><br/>Duke did a double take, looking all around them until Jamal mentioned that the tree spoke. Suddenly it began to rumble...and it spoke again. "By Zeus, the tree has a face." He blinked. "I've only seen this shit in Lord Of The Rings. Treebeard?" He joked, and the Treant didn't really find it funny. As Jamal pleaded with it for release, apparently it decided that it was going to suck Mariam in along with it. That's when his brows furrowed, and his grip around Bella and Vel tightened just lightly. It was all fun and games until someone actually started to get hurt, and so he let his arms slide down and walked up to the tied up Jamal, but looked up to the treant.<br/><br/>"Yo, Excuse me, yeah. You want to not suck up our friends into your roots before I actually have to cut you?" his tone wasn't threatening or aggressive, but more conversational. He was sure they could talk things out with the big oak.
