Extraction mission (aka rescuing demigods)

OOC: I know it sucks, it's 2:30 am over here xD

BIC:The bell rang and Arian stood up, putting her stuff back into her handbag. She didn't know English lessons could be that boring, honestly; all she had done was drawing away on her notebooks hiding from the teacher, most of her notes circled by dozens of sketches. She didn't even need these notes for the simple reason she wasn't going to school here.
Virgo, Eden and her were on a mission to extract a demigod here at school, her name was Paige Shields and since all the satyrs of camp were already off on their own missions, demigods had gone into rescuing escapades too. Like them. She spotted her two co-workers and gave them a thumbs up. Thanks to Mist manipulation and informatics, they had managed to make everyone believe they had always been going to school here when they had only arrived the day before.
So now they were going to look for that demigod and hopefully find her before some monster did -- Arian wondered how many monsters Albuquerque housed. A dozen? More? Definitely not as much as New York though but with the combined smell of Virgo, Eden and herself they must be attracted to the city like flies to a jar of honey. Especially because of Arian, as she was Apollo's daughter. Children of the Olympian gods always smelled more to monsters than others.
Holding her books against her chest, she stalked across the halls as if going to her locker, the two other girls next to her. They got waves and hi!s from people they had never talked to in their lives, to which Arian responded with cheerful smiles and winks.

The class seemed to go on for years, never ending. Eden had counted the ceiling fifteen times, and she was absolutely certain that there were exactly thirty-two 11-inch square blocks running horizontally across the room, and thirty-five vertically. That was 135520 square inches, or 11293.33 feet squared. She was in the back of the room, as far from the teacher as possible. A bucket sat in front of the room, taunting her incessantly as she knew exactly what sat in it. Her phone.

As to why the teacher had taken her life away from her and concealed it into a tiny metal bucket with the far less impressive iPhones, she didn't know. Eden figured the poor old lady couldn't understand how significant that device was. Her laptop was back at camp, as she didn't trust the outside world to be kind to it (and it had a horrible battery life), so that phone her only connection to anything. Anything. Her life was on that 5-inch touchscreen. Her life.

The bell rang and Eden was the first at the front of the classroom, at the bucket before even the jocks in their varsity jackets, and more determined to retrieve her life from its sad little undeserving hole than the bubble gum-chewing girls who couldn't stand being away from those texts. She scooped up her connection to the world, and was unnaturally close to carefully caressing the poor thing, when she realized that Virgo and Arian would probably be waiting for her or something. She decided to save the reunion for later and headed out to her locker.

Getting into the school hadn't been that hard, actually. Just a few clicks, the simple act of bypassing the school security, editing their names into the documents, and it was all clear. Surviving in the school was the hard part. Eden hadn't been much of a "school" person. Sure, she could've gone to public school, but she never really had. And yeah maybe she was legally supposed to go to school, but she was also legally supposed to not hack into a school site and edit your names into documents. Anyway, the school environment was pretty new to her. She'd gotten a few eager waves and smiles, which she'd returned with oh-whoops-I-forgot-my-class-is-on-the-other-side-of-the-school, but she'd gotten even more sideways glances. Those weren't that bad. Sideways glances meant people didn't want to talk to you, and that was perfect for Eden.

She was just exiting the classroom when she noticed a gesture from a familiar face. As soon as she saw the thumbs-up, she quickened her pace, squeezing through the tightly packed bodies through narrow gaps, until she stood at Arian's side. People waved at the other girl, and maybe two people waved or said something to Eden, but she didn't respond.

OOC: No idea how this got so long, i had to take stuff out and it still just like refused to be shorter

OOC: Late reply sorry :O

BIC: Arian chuckled and casually took Virgo's arm, sidestepping a bunch of nine-graders dashing through the corridors. Ah, this did feel of home. Locker-lined walls, posters, flying papers on the ground...with the heat, it felt just like Naples in spring-summer season. Putting her shades on her nose, she glanced at her reflection in a nearby window: glossy shoulder long hair brushed into soft chocolate curls, pomegranate chapstick, healthy olive skin and seashell shaped stud earrings. Nodding innerly in approval, the daughter of Apollo carried on with her two friends. She was dressed in a girly white top and a peach-colored skirt, stitched with tiny golden sequins in spiraling patterns. She had pastel pink slingback wedges and stacked bracelets on one arm -- she'd love to be wearing midi rings but wearing rings when there was the possibility of a fight wasn't really smart. For the bracelets, she could slide them off her wrist in the blink of an eye, so those weren't problematic at all.

"There she is," Arian said, glancing at a girl in a denim jacket opening her locker, her dark hair swept up in a ponytail. "Hey Paige, do you have a second?" She asked with a sunny smile, casually leaning her shoulder against the lockers, her books under one arm.

OOC: You're fine, hon

BIC: "You should be more worried about the staff than the fashion. These teachers obviously have no idea when it comes to technology. I had to help one of them log into their email." She replied to Virgo's comment with a bit of an annoyed and tired smirk, shrugging her torn khaki messenger bag further onto her shoulder.

She, herself, had dressed for the warm weather, wearing a tank and some thin sweats, as well as a light jacket around her waist were top be deployed whenever teachers decided to dress code her for the spaghetti straps. Not like she had anything to show off, though.

The demigod looked at where Arian had glanced, finding a short, probably fourteen year old girl. She was relatively pretty, Eden guessed. Their target gave them a confused yet happy smile, answering a bit hesitantly. "Sure? Is something wrong?" Well, might as well use this time to her advantage. Eden took out her phone and began scrolling through the traffic reports, because why not. Her monster tracking program was still very underdeveloped, seeing how heat signatures of monster don't show up on mortal censors. So traffic was the only thing she could do at the moment.

Eden paid Virgo's remark no attention, letting the blow hit her like most things did--meaning it left no more than a small dull spot on her rough metal cage.

As Virgo and Arian took care of the talking part, Eden followed closely behind, eyes scanning the now-empty hallways. This was usually the way things worked. Eden took care of getting them into the system, then the two socialites took it from there with the talking, all while the young daughter of Notus made sure no evil giant spider hell babies attacked them.

As soon as they entered the room, Eden did a quick once-over, checking for anything out of place that might signal something deadly-ish. Once she'd been assured of their relative safety, she quickly pulled out her phone and paused the school's cameras and audio with a few quick swipes. Yeah, okay, maybe she was a bit paranoid, but she didn't want someone watching this odd little group of females lead another smaller girl one into an empty room.

She switched the tabs in her phone quickly, viewing the live video of the school's hallways, switching from camera to camera. Everything seemed absolutely fine, to be entirely honest. Almost boring. She'd been hoping to get some action of some sort.

She was just zoning out of the feed and beginning to focus on how outdated the computers were in the school when something caught her eye. A long, scaly body slithering quickly, in and out of the view in seconds. She switched to the next frame, this time getting a good look at the thing before it disappeared, heading directly for them.

She flicked her silver charm bracelet off her wrist, throwing her bag over her shoulder and her phone in her pocket as the charms transformed into five throwing knives. She tucked four of the knifes into the side pocket of her bag, keeping one out.

"We gotta move," She announced as the sound of slithering became audible, tossing Arian her things quickly. "Will any of the windows are open? I really don't think we can outrun that thing, at least not in a closed hallway."

Eden was not a fast runner, nor was she very athletic. Her short build made for sprinting even short distances, and her nimble fingers did little to help her in situations like these. There was a bit of an advantage, though. Even though her legs often failed her, she was so used to her phone's controls that she could open up the outside cameras while running. Oh, if only she'd had her laptop. That way, she could've seen the interior and exterior feeds at the same time. Too bad.

She was actually doing pretty well into she completely slammed her entire right side into the car Arian had hid behind. She didn't even seem to notice, though. She just righted herself and continued around to the back of the vehicle. If she hadn't been so focused on swiping between camera views, she probably would've stopped to realize just how stupid that was and how much that was going to hurt in the morning. Then again, who knows. You never really can tell with Eden.

"I don't see anything. Her scent must not be that strong," She replied, not even looking up from the screen as she flipped through the displays, so fast the images began to blur together. It didn't matter, though, so long as she could notice a change in the pattern of pixels. "Then again, if there are any others, they might already be inside the building. I can quickly check, but that would mean temporarily losing the exterior view." She explained, though she was already quickly returning to her previous streams. The video appeared, and she hastily began to swipe through them.

She stopped towards the end of the slideshow as she saw a small, hardly noticeable flicker that, nevertheless, was almost certainly recognizable as a tail. She flipped to the next screen to see a slightly slower, much smaller drakon slithering in the path of the other.

"One smaller one inside, seems to be a bit weaker, though. What do you see nearby?" She asked, tracking the creature, her gaze never leaving the phone, except for a small flicker towards the Paige girl. She looked quite terrified, to be honest. Eden truly wished she could do something to help, but she had no idea how. Discussing the elaborate methods of hacking an ATM would do no one any good, especially in this situation. Instead, she quickly looked back down to the screen, regathering herself and pouring all of her focus back into the current situation.

OOC: psh ha i knew it was my turn totally didnt forget haha ha eh...
