“Mine too..” Chelsea mumbled.
"I'm really sorry" He consoled, putting his arm around her reassuringly. "We will find them"
“I’m sorry too, we’ll find our parents. … maybe the baskets are a clue?”
"Maybe…."He mumbled to himself deep in thought before coming to a realization, The notes, they were a code! "Everyone!" He shouted, gaining the rooms attention "Bring me the notes that you found in your baskets!"
“I left mine on my bed,” she said as she and Cade walked into the room. “I have the basket?”
The kettle started to whistle Maddie continued with the tea preparation. After adding the tea to the water she turned over an hour glass and waits for it to steep. "Oliver you mind helping me carry the cups over to the other room? We can sit at the big table and…" She turned to look at him and sees the girl who he had been flirting with at the party. "…Oh um welcome, I'll get Two? more cups."
"Of course, I'll get some Maddie," Oliver replied, heading over towards one of the cupboards and grabbing two mismatched teacups and plates. He returned, holding them out for her to fill. "How are you feeling?"
“I left my note in my basket.” Cade said, “And i have my basket. Yay.”
"So what does everyone's say, mine says 'Where'"
“‘Is.’ It says is.”
"Of course, I'll get some Maddie," Oliver replied, heading over towards one of the cupboards and grabbing two mismatched teacups and plates. He returned, holding them out for her to fill. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm sorry," She She whispers to Oliver wile staring down at the tea cups," I know I've been acting strange. I don't mean to." Maddie takes a deep breath "I'm not crazy. My perception of time is just different. I don't mind if people think I'm insane, because I do play the part." The only other opinion I care out is yours, she added in her head. ", but sometimes I for get how close to that line I really am. Thank you, Oli, for putting up with me."
"I'm always going to be there for you, Maddie. Even if you do somehow end up going mad." Oliver answered, a small smile tugging the corners of his lips up. Maddie had always been there for him when he was a lost orphan looking for a home and a family. Now it was his turn to return the favor.
//ship ship ship
//ship ship ship
Who do I ship with?
Chelsea stood beside Cade.
“Our’s says ‘be’.” Cade said, holding up the note.
Chelsea sipped her hot chocolate in attempt to calm herself down.
"Where, is, and be" He muttered "Any others?"
Oliver pulled out a crumpled piece of parchment from his back pocket, and read over the words again. "Mine says THE."
Susan wandered the house. She didn't know if that was rude or not since she didn't really leave The Domain a lot.
Maddie was putting cups on a tray, "Mine said "I'll" how much more cryptic could you possibly get?" she said wile placing the tea pot in the center of the tray.
Oliver grabbed a teacup from the tray and walked towards the table, setting his cards down and spreading them out. Furrowing his brow faintly in thought, he moved the cards around, rehearsing a story in his mind. One that he was particularly fond of that he had been told by a merchant in a village. Alice in Wonderland.
( Oh wow, I just read back and apparently Sam is going to have a crush on Oli)
(I didn't realize he was that likeable)
//he is very likable also stop breaking the fourth wall xD
Susan walked in on a group sipping tea, or at least preparing to. "Greetings, cower before me mortals." Susan said, as if it was a general hello or a glad to see you.
“No thanks, drama queen,” Reyna said, raising an eyebrow.
"Huh?" Oliver asked, looking up from his cards to the girl who had just walked in, his green eyes narrowing.
Cade patted his sister’s head.
"Death or no death people will die"
//what .-.
"I'm sorry, but my father has disappeared and is currently dying as we speak, so feel free to complain about my manner of speaking." Susan sassed back.
"Another will take up the title of death"
"You lost me at Death." Oliver sighed, looking back at his cards and moving them around as if he was playing a one person game.
"Another will take up the title of death"
"No, nobody can. It's something you are, not that you become."
Thanatos raised an eyebrow "I meant no disrespect, but my father being Hades I understand how dying works"
“You can become dead…” Cade said.
“Welcome to the club of missing and dead parents,” she said, eyes flaring as she spread her arms. “It doesn’t give you special rights to be a b-tch. That’s not a club perk - sorry.”
//aaand I have made Reyna rude
Oops
Sorry
