Wearing an orange sleeveless compression shirt, black gym shorts, and Tennis Shoes. Standard Armor/Weapons.<br/><br/>He shrugged when she threw what he said back and laughed. "Yeah. A few, but not too many. But hey I gotta start somewhere, right?" This girl; there was something about her. That fire in her...Ares? Probably, but he felt like there was something else he couldn't put his finger on. But that didn't change the attraction that was there on his end...then again that was for pretty much every girl here. <br/><br/>He couldn't even turn it off, and he'd tried. He just couldn't help finding himself wanted every girl with pretty eyes or a nice booty. It was a curse at times, especially now when he had a feeling she was just as likely to pull her sword on him as talk to him. Her eyes remained on him, and his remained on hers. He was many things, but shy was not one of them. Unfortunately the people around here seemed to take confidence for arrogance or cockiness.<br/><br/> They were similar, but he knew the differences. He smiled at her when she corrected herself and actually used his name. "I'll be happy to display my skills and prove myself to you..." he let it draw out because he didn't know her name just yet. "About a dozen from then to now. And I've got a few tricks, but you'll have to wait until we find a monster to see em'. I don't just show off for every beautiful girl who calls me out. f I do learn somethin' though, then hey I consider today a success. Especially considering it feels like almost <em>everyone</em> here wants me and my brother to fail." Chris and the others walked up, and he nodded at the man as they locked eyes for a moment. <br/><br/>It stirred something in him; probably that "can't sit still" feeling he always got. He was pumped for whatever they were gonna do. His hands crossed over his chest as the class leader explained what was going on. It was kinda like football and basketball. Coach wanted to see how good you were before things got going. He told them they were pairing up in groups of three, but he knew exactly zero people here aside from Zii and he had a feeling he wouldn't have been accepted on a team anyway. <br/><br/>With the two of them just standing there, Chris paired them together when he saw they had an odd number of campers. When he called him a rockstar, Dorian let his tongue hang out and put up the universal symbol for [ur=http://www.bumperstickerz.com/images/10000304-04-00-00-00_lg.png]rock on[/url]. He added a bit at the end about them not dying, which was weird, but considering this place, not <em>so</em> weird. <br/><br/>"Well I don't plan on dyin' my first day. And I'm sure she won't let me die as it'd make her look bad. So I think we're gonna be okay." He looked from Chris to Zii and winked at her playfully. When he told them what the task was, he laughed a little while looking at Zii still. "Well how 'bout that? Somethin' right up my alley." When he finished the explanation, he opened the floor for questions, and despite the laughs, Dorian raised his hand. "What are the point values for the flags? And if we help another group with a monster, do we get the points or them?" Valid questions in his opinion.<br/></div></div><br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/9b/Zahara2.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Zahara (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=207204.msg10214425#msg10214425) (Zii)<br/><strong>Cabin:</strong>Ares<br/><strong>Location:</strong>North Woods<br/><strong>Activity:</strong>Monster Assault Techniques<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>September 21st, After 1:30pm<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Chris Rodriguez (NPC), Dorian, Open<br/><strong>Notes:</strong>Wearing sleeveless camp t-shirt, black compression running shorts, and Nikes, also now wearing Amazon-made celestial bronze belt, circlet, and arm cuff<hr/>It was interesting. Had she been back at home, her first home, the one amongst her sister Amazons, Dorian would have been collared and put to work serving their growing kingdom at best. The Amazon kingdom did not hate men of course nor did they seek to avoid them the way the hunters of Artemis did, but rather her people preferred to ensure males understood their place in the order of things. Yet here Zii was, not entirely unaffected by the compliment the son of Zeus aimed her way or even the natural swagger he seemed to exude, and actually trying to consider what he might bring to their partnership since Chris had paired them up. To an outsider it might seem as though he'd placed the two of them at a disadvantage given that they were a pair in a game full of trios but truthfully he had only leveled the playing field. Especially if Dorian held the true power of a child of the big three.<br/><br/><strong>"Point vales range from 10 to 100 and vary with the difficulty of the monster. I won't ruin the surprise by telling you exactly what's out there so you guys will just have to pay attention on your hunt. Don't worry though, there are plenty of points to go around."</strong>Chris replied to Dorian's question, smirking at both him and Zii. The kid's questions hadn't been dumb but no way was he giving them all the information. He wanted to see how they'd handle the surprises that waited for them in the woods. He wasn't out to be cruel or sneaky but after what he'd faced in the war he wasn't inclined to baby campers. They needed to be prepared. Especially if there really was more to come. Zii he knew got that, he wasn't sure about some of the others though.<strong>"And yeah, whoever comes back with the flag gets the points so make sure you hang on to what's yours. Whining afterward will not make me take pity on you."</strong><br/><br/>Zii had been fine until that last little bit was added.  Suddenly her smile faded as she realized that some of those ready to head off into the woods were just the type to try and take short cuts. Which meant it wasn't only monsters they had to worry about. Glancing at Dorian, she waited until she had his attention then spoke softly. "Gonna have to watch your back, rock star. You were right, I'm not a fan of losing and some here will try to take advantage if they sense weakness. Same as any monster." Her expression was more serious, almost stern as she turned to face the woods.<br/><br/><strong>"Alright... if there are no more questions..."</strong>Chris paused like he was actually waiting but he really wasn't. There were some murmurs but most looked ready to begin, or at least ready to have this class done with. Not everyone was eager to face down monsters but no one complained.<strong>"Alright then, GO!" </strong><br/><br/>Chris gave the command and several demigods took off into the woods. Zii herself started forward but rather than run, she simply walked, holding out a hand in case Dorian got any ideas about dashing off like they were in a marathon. She knew better than most that the monsters would sniff you out no matter how fast you were moving. She aimed to make her fair share of kills but without knowing before hand what waited out there for them there was no way she was taking off like an impatient idiot. "Alright then. Ready to wow me with your<em>technique</em>?," she asked Dorian almost conversationally, a somewhat cheeky smile flirting about the edges of her mouth as they moved into the danger filled woods.
