Charlie's bunk

Charlie walked in set down his stuff and walked out

Charlie walked back in and laid down on his bunk

There was a blaze of light outside the Athena cabin door, and there appeared a tall, regal-looking blonde woman with fierce gray eyes and an owl perched on her shoulder, dressed like she was ready for a day at the office as some sort of business woman: a black pantsuit with her hair done up in a tight bun. She tilted her head to the side as she stood there frowning at the door, and then waved her arm; the owl took off flying into the distance when she pushed open the door and entered her own cabin, scanning the dimly lit cabin with a critical eye. Aah, yes, there he was -- on his bunk. "Doctor?" she called softly, shutting the door behind her. There was a click when she locked the door, intent on having a private conversation with her son.

Charlie looked up and he saw a tall women "M-Mom?" He asked nervously "What are you doing here? I thought Zeus didn't allow it." He sat up this time he had Brown hair and hazel eyes "You look like people described you. Kind of." They boy in the Camp Half blood and black coat told his mother.

Athena narrowed her eyes at her son, taking another glance around the room. It could be more organized and well-lit, but she wasn't here to tell her children to redecorate the cabin just to fit her own tastes. They had better things to do, she was sure, knowing all the war preparations that had to be done. "Zeus allows very short visits once in a while. I just thought I'd check up with some of my children here. How are you, Doctor?"

"I'm okay I guess. Kind've. I've been helping the camp. Keeping people out of danger." He gulped as he was really scared of his mother. He looked her in her intense grey eyes. He blinked and looked down at his white shorts. His eyes gleaming he looked back up "Do you think I lost Aarya when I left? Did I mess up again?"

Athena frowned at Charlie as she sat down on an empty bunk, smoothing out the unmade bed's surface with the palm of her hand. Romance -- that was probably one of the few things she wasn't good at nor cared about. It was a field of knowledge she left to Aphrodite and Eros, as well as any other meddling god that wanted to tear apart people's lives; she felt it was beneath her to try being in anything but intellectual relationships. "I'm not one to ask for romantic advice, nor do I keep track of most of my children's love lives. I'm not familiar with your situation, so I'll just deign to answer your question."

"Okay, I'm sorry Mother." He said and looked up "How's Olympus? ANything New there?" He asked his mother slightly showing his feat maybe even enough for her to see. Mothers always knew when their child was scared. It was usually creepy when he saw it in the movies.

ooc: I suppose you mean fear, so....

"Hm. Well, we've still been rebuilding and preparing for Gaea's threats...." Athena sighed, shaking her head. "She'll probably do infinitely more damage to Olympus than Kronos could ever have dreamed." She looked at her son out of the corner of her eye, frowning slightly now; he seemed a bit... distant. Afraid, almost. Perhaps if the conversation became more familiar, friendly even, he'd loosen up.

Charlie looked reall bored. After all, he was usually scared at his camp. "Do you know my name? At least, how I forgot it?" He asked his mother, a little hope still in his eyes. He stared into her eyes his eyes gleaming at the same time. He used to always be told he looked like his dad. He never got told he looked like his mom. He gulped at would she would say.

Athena looked at Charlie and shrugged at him: "I know how you lost it and of course I know your name, but I feel as if time will tell you your identity. Maybe soon, but I can't be certain how the Fates will go about it." She wasn't here to tell Charlie the answer to most of his problems; rather, she was here to simply speak to him and maybe get to know him better? She didn't know.

Charlie looked over at the walls and the paintings "Other kids in this cabin look like you. I get told I look like dad. Do others know what you look like? You know, when you met dad?" His voice cracked saying dad. He had been right there when his father died and decided to hange the subject "So, Defeating Gaea. I have a plan. Hopefully, something that will save olympus and the earth."

"I looked very similar to what I look like now," Athena replied, regarding her son critically out of the corner of her eye. She had also been working on a few strategies to defeating Gaea, but with a few setbacks -- like the Roman situation -- some of them had been temporarily shattered. It was disappointing, but she and Ares were finally working together to achieve something. "May I hear of your plan?"

"We can use a few demigods and you can say go find them while some other kids work on a huge trap and that trap would involve using her own plan against her. We can do that by having some fake demigods to where she goes to swallow them into the earth it's a nuclear bomb." He took out a few fake bodies that looked real "Took 3 days to make these. That was just one idea."

Athena frowned at her son, trying to absorb the plan -- it was creative, but.... "No nuclear bombs. We will not stoop to the level of the mortals -- and I'm fairly sure while we'd injure Gaea gravely with one, it would also harm Demeter and some other nature gods in the process. Gaea would wreak more havoc in vengeance and your plan will go kaput very rapidly. Try something else."

He thought for a moment and then said something stupid that he knew his mother or anyone wouldn't approve "Send someone down pretend to be her little servant then get on her good side find a way to tell you so you know her plan, then use it against her. But, until then some demigods and gods will help keep her from rising while some demigods prepare." He stared at her this would be his final plan.

Athena narrowed her eyes, glancing at her son critically out of the corner of her eye. Was it just her, or did her son have really bad plans? "That probably wouldn't work, and I shouldn't need to tell you why. The latter part is already being done, anyway, and look where that's gone -- rapidly, rapidly down the toilet." The Fates, clearly, were mocking them right now.

He sat back as he said " I'm sorry. I don't usually suck at plans. I'm just worried, not just about the world snd olympus. I'm worried of how many demigods she has on her side" He heard a clank behind the walls "What the hell was that?" He said turning around puttin his ear against the wall and sighed "Cicero! What are you doing?"

Athena pursed her lips, looking at Charlie sternly as he sighed and asked, basically nobody, what this Cicero person was doing. She pulled up the sleeve of her left arm and looked at her watch -- it was almost time for her to go and oversee some building on Olympus. "She doesn't have as many as you might think...." Athena paused and stood up from the bunk, straightening her pants out. "I hope somebody's not eavesdropping on us?"

"Cicero, come inside, and do anything but run around camp screeching please." He told the son of Mania even though he knew Cicero would never stop. He turned back to his mother "Yes, but we have two things to worry about, Gaea and the Romans are planning on killing us."

Athena raised her eyebrow at Charlie, then clucked her tongue in admonishment. "A slightly arrogant thing to assume, considering that I must leave now -- don't ever assume things, Doctor. After all, if this Cicero boy comes in, my visit will probably be cut short anyway." She tapped her watch and frowned at the time, before nodding to herself and standing up from the bed. "I hope to see you at Olympus during the winter solstice, but if not, summer works too."

Charlie watched his mother talked and had a quick reply "Both. I'm coming to both. I don't intend on dying until then or after until I know what's going to happen. Plus, I want to know my name first. But, If I don't figure it out-" He couldn't think of what would happen if he couldn't He would be called Doctor in the afterlife too? Gods, that'd be hard to live with. But, if he was going down it would be for Aarya.
