Jill (All Superheroes Must Die) | Daughter of Nike

[staysthesame]

[Generally, Jill actually likes the wall, but she's standing in front of it today, arms crossed over her chest as she stares at it. As much as she likes to prove herself, there's a lot more lava today than she's used to, and she's thinking that maybe even good luck isn't going to save her from singed fingertips.]

[wokethedragon]

[Dany doesn't really like climbing the wall, for the most part. She's never been particularly good at it.

What she does like about it is watching the lava, and today is the perfect day to do so, as she sits a ways away from the wall. She loves studying the way the molten rock flows, how it bubbles and changes with each moment. It's one of the few heat sources at camp she can't control, but she likes to think she can take a lesson or two from the lava.]

[staysthesame]

[Glancing around, Jill notices one of the other campers nearby. Hephaestus kid. She nods at her, jerking her thumb in the direction of the wall.] Hey, you know what's going on with the lava today? [Because maybe she's missed the memo that sometimes it gets a little extreme, like out to get some poor kid extreme.]

[wokethedragon]

The intensity varies from day to day.

[She calls over to Jill, still sitting at a safe distance, staring up at the molten rock.]

It's to test our endurance in difficult situations. I'm not sure who controls it.

[staysthesame]

[She glances back at the wall with a look of uncertainty.] How often are we really going to be climbing up volcanoes that are exploding? [There's a smile playing on her lips, though. It's not a big deal, but sometimes she wonders what demigod had been the reason for the wall to be added.]

[kissmyass]

[ Ben learned a long while ago that being overprotective of Jill doesn't particularly go over well with her. At least not in the sense of telling her not to do something because he's worried about the danger. So he is just... going to keep his mouth shut about that while they're staring up at the wall. That is... a lot of lava. ]

...You know the wind's pretty good for archery right now too. [ That's not... explicitly telling her not to do it, is it? ]

[staysthesame]

[Jill tilts her head, looking at Ben with a slight smile at the suggestion. Yeah, attempting the wall seems like a bit suicidal, but... It's a challenge.]

But I'm not really all that good at archery. [And also Ben not wanting her to do it makes her want to do it even more.] Why don't you race me?

[kissmyass]

[ ...Wow being preoccupied with trying to win a race is absolutely not the thing either of them need to be doing with that much lava going on. ]

Not sure that's a great idea. [ He would pretty much feel terrible if she got hurt trying to beat him up the wall. ] I'll go with you, but take it easy, okay?

[staysthesame]

[Hey, he's the Ares kid. She figured he'd appreciate the competition, but Jill likes when he suggests they just take it easy instead. Not because she's worried about herself, but she's worried about if he rushes and slips up. Lava's no joke.]

If you're not careful, someone might think you have a soft spot, you know.

[kissmyass]

[ With another person? You bet your ass he'd be jumping up on the wall to meet that challenge. With Jill? It's different. He takes a second to think with her, cares more about her than about making himself the biggest badass around. And she's pretty much the only one that gets that treatment.

But not like he'll be admitting it any time soon. There's a snort and he starts walking towards the wall. ]

Then I'll just have to kick the idea out of them, huh? You comin'?

[staysthesame]

[Ben.

Ben, you have a lot of feelings. But Jill appreciates it, a lot.

She's already taking her gloves off and shoving them into the pockets of her pants when he asks if she's coming. Rolling her eyes, she gives him a small smile of appreciation. He doesn't have to do this with her, but she knows he won't go away even if she told him to.]

Can't climb with my hands bound up like that, can I? [Even with the extra lava, it shouldn't be too difficult.] Yeah because kicking some poor kid's ass is really necessary.

[Hey half-sister. Zoey is sort of new at the whole 'demigod thing' and so she just stared at the wall and sighed.] "This would be fun if it didn't have the lava." Zoey said to no one but herself softly.

[staysthesame]

[It's weird for Jill to think she actually has siblings. She went unclaimed for so long, but she gives Zoey a smile.] It's fun even with the lava. We can't expect things to be easy for us out in the real world.

[snowpointvictor]

Zoey had a slight chuckle at that. "I'm still getting used to all this stuff myself. I'm not used to all this trianing stuff or that there are actually real Gods."

[staysthesame]

"You get used to it after awhile," Jill reassures. She hadn't been sure about the training at first, either. Or the gods, for that matter. "Both things, that is. You'll like the training more, though. Trust me."

[snowpointvictor]

Zoey gave a small nod. "I hope so. The training is actually not so bad really. I guess I'm a little homesick that's all. I'm Zoey by the way."

[staysthesame]

"You get used to the homesickness after awhile. Just think of it as a vacation." Unless she was one of those who were year rounders, in which case, start thinking of it as home. But Jill didn't want to be rude, just in case. "I'm Jill."
