Yes. You read that right. Greece has fallen...or at least the camp that has catered to Greek demigods for over three millennia has fallen. Camp Half-Blood had a traitor in their midst. A traitor with powerful allies who quickly burned the camp to the ground. Some were lost, some killed, and the rest who remained began the long trek across the country to the only place where they might be safe: Camp Jupiter.
Chiron banded what campers they had left, told them of the other camp and sent word to Camp Jupiter pleading for shelter. Chaos now threatens the camp daily with the arrival of new Greek campers to this foreign camp. This camp with strange customs and rules. While on the Roman end the Praetors are forced to hold up a balancing act of providing sanctuary while also trying to find the traitor before their home suffers the same fate as Camp Half-Blood.
New alliances are forged, new enemies are made, and these two worlds have to find some way to work together for the future of them all. Which side are you on? Which position will you take? It's time to jump in the fray because Greece has fallen.

there were times that he didn't mind that he had to do guard duty, and those were the ones where when he was done he could sneak off to the Lake in New Rome and just get away from the cohort for a bit. Not that he minded the people in the cohort, but sometimes you wanted a little time to function outside of a group. Most children of Jupiter would avoid the water, but not Bran. He actually enjoyed going down to the lake, it calmed him down. That in itself said a lot about it, Branson was one of the hardest people to get to stay still for more than two minutes time, but the lake was mesmorizing to him. Something about how the water looked like a mirror at times, it was pretty. [break][break]
Tonight though, it looked like black glass just so very flat and he couldn't help himself. Grabbing a flat stone he skipped it across the water, little ripples from each skip crossed the surface of the lake. A smirk crossed his lips and he picked up another one, sailing it across the waters surface. He grinned and sat down on the rocks, just letting the night air cool his fevered skin. He had gone for a run after his duty was up, attempting to try to run out the energy that as usual was coursing through his veins. He could probably go to the training areas but that was just too boring and typical. He wanted to get away from the norm. He debated sneaking down to one of the clubs and dancing the night away, though it was harder to get away with that. [break][break]
Stretching out his legs in front of him he hummed to himself as he held his hand out, boredom getting to him so he let little sparks dance across his palm. It was a waste of power really, but when you were Branson, you had an over abundance of energy anyway that you needed to spend. Hearing rocks crunch he looked up quickly, extinguishing the sparks as he turned to that direction. Spying the source he smiled a little cheekily, " Well well, if it isn't Miss Retired. How goes things in New Rome?" he teased her gently, his blue eyes sparkling with mischief.
When Ruby had pictured her time at college she had always thought it would be a mostly carefree chapter of her life. There were studies of course, but she had found that when it came to the things that she was actually interested in, she academically did quite well. That side of school wouldn't be an issue, she knew that. She had set her sights on that part of her life being a freeing time. There was no more guard duty, no more strict regimen and training. There was no one who was meticulously watching her every step. She had been excited about the prospect.
Then the Greeks had shown up and made everything one giant headache. She currently spent most of her time in her classes and any free-time she had, was spent playing welcome committee to adult Greeks who could barely comprehend the idea of an entirely safe city much less adapt easily to it. There was also the added headache of releases, liabilities and properties that were now in the processes of being transferred. She was a first-year legal student, she hadn't expected she would have stepped foot in the legal ring. Her mother had other plans though.
Their whole legal branch was overwhelmed and calling in the re-enforcements had been a strategic play. Unfortunately her entire first-year class was the proverbial re-enforcements so she found herself working around the clock.
The nights tended to blur together with only a rushed dinner with her family here and there to break it up. That was where she had found herself that evening. She and her mother had poured over paperwork. Her mother actually forming ideas and plans and herself taking notes furiously while her father had cooked for them. She had spent three hours there before packing up her things and heading towards her student housing. She knew she could have stayed with her family, but what college kid wanted that?
Instead of going straight back to her home though, she decided to take a detour and visit the Lake. It normally wasn't a crowded area, and she could use a little solitary time. Ruby had just made it down to the graveled shore as she noticed she was not alone. She paused, half debating on leaving when a familiar voice called out to her. A smile came across her lips and she made her way to the son of Jupiter. "I'll gladly trade places with you." She answered in jest, dropping her bag down on the shore and moving to him, her hands going around his shoulders for a hug. "Don't tell me you're sneaking out. I thought you learned your lesson after last time?"
She had to admit that he was a very welcomed sight. Sometimes she felt out of place, stuck between an adult and not exactly an adult or rather the kind of adult that New Rome viewed. The families with children, the battle-hardened veterans who served in the Senate. The people who had actual careers that bettered Rome every single day. At camp she had known exactly how and where she fit in. Here she felt almost like she was in limbo. "Distract me. Tell me some camp gossip."
Bran grinned at her, the idea of switching places semi appealing. For the longest time when they were in the camp together he had a huge crush on the brunette girl, but other than a lot of harmless flirtation on his part at least, he had kept the crush part to himself. To be fair, Bran had a lot of crushes over his years, but she was always fun because anything he gave her she would easily throw right back at him. Tonight was no different. His blue eyes sparkled as he looked her over. " Would you? I don't know that I'm exactly the college kid type Torres. You might fail every class if I took over for you." he chuckled and tilted his head at her, " Its weird seeing you all studenty. I just never saw you as the type to be able to sit still for a class."
When she hugged him he picked her up and spun her in a circle before placing her back gently on the rocks. " Eh, it was definitely worth it. How else was I going to see my favorite woman?" he teased her and ruffled her hair. He loved to tease Ruby, but he also knew when to stop. She was a very powerful demigod and he was not about to mess with her. Though he would never go too far. He always let her take the lead and if she started to seem uncomfortable, he knew when to stop. That was a lot of what he really liked about her. She was no nonsense, but she was also as much of a troublemaker as he was. When the two of them were together it was a disaster good time waiting to happen. She made him laugh, and that was what he loved about her.
Before she could do anything about it, he picked her up so she was over his shoulder, grabbed her bag and carried her off to a large, flat boulder that they had sat on in the past when he would sneak out. Though he had gotten caught the last time, Morrigan giving him a good screaming and sending him back to the Cohort. Kitchen duty for a week after that but he was fine with that, just meant he didn't have to do any of the other crappy jobs he normally would have. He sat down, sat her next to him and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. " Hmm camp gossip, camp gossip." he thought it over as he set her bag down next to them.
" Well I'm sure you heard about Morrigan, stabbed by Kadence. It was an accident from what I was told, when she was having a vision or something. So that's a big thing. She's in the infirmary in a weird coma." he moved his arm from around her and clasped his hands in front of him, leaning on his knees as he looked over at her. " All the greeks is a thing too. I hear a couple of the romans are getting pretty chummy with them. Castor you know, the centurion from three? He was seen with one of them ." he chuckled. Not that he would turn down a greek, Hades he barely turned down anyone, but he did have standards, well, low standards but standards all the same.
Ruby had forgotten how easy it was to be around Bran. He was open, honest, and as friendly as they came. He, in just a few short words, had her grinning, momentarily forgetting all about the stress of her day. "Yeah right. Three of my professors are women, you'd have them charmed by your roguish ways in no time." She playfully nudged his elbow as he brought up that he couldn't imagine her as a student. "Can you not? I thought for sure that was one of your r-rated daydreams." She gave him a playful grin before shrugging, "It's honestly not that bad. I can get through the classes, it's all the extra work that the Greeks brought with them that's a pain."
As Ruby's arms went around his neck, Branson picked her up, eliciting a yelp from her lips in surprise as he spun her around before setting her down on the rocks again. He said another classically smooth Branson line and she gave a humorless laugh before grinning, "Yeah, sure. Go on, out with it. Tell the truth before I go calling for your co-centurion." As he ruffled her hair she moved in quickly to land a playful smack on his shoulder. She sat down with him, letting his arm go around her. She leaned her head into the embrace, listening to him talk about camp. He mentioned Morrigan and Ruby nodded. "Oh yeah, we heard. There's rumors that Dareios isn't appointing a temporary co-praetor. Which is a bad idea in my opinion."
Bran sat up and leaned forward, hands around his knees and she leaned back, bracing herself on her palms. As he spoke about the Greeks and one of the legion's centurions with one she half thought he was joking with her. She raised her eyebrow, a smirk on her lips, "Are you, Branson Lovett , actually insinuating that you wouldn't give a Greek girl a second glance? Not even a casual pick-up line? Are you feeling well?" She leaned forward and placed her hand jokingly on his forehead before sitting back again.
She understood the shock in what he was saying. She couldn't imagine giving a Greek boy any amount of attention. From what she had seen they were all far too whiny and weak for her taste. "You can't blame the guy for flirting. I'm sure it's harmless. It's not like there's any real chance of a Roman and a Greek having a future together." She wasn't being cruel or unkind, it was simple fact. Historically the groups had never gotten along, they were too far different, too culturally opposite. Greeks lived out in the mortal world where they took their chances with their children. Romans protected their families with all that they had. There could be no future between the two. "Speaking of the future, what's your plan huh? You'll be out of the legion before you know it, trust me."
