(There were tons more people at first, so some of these might just be random other people on the quest)

(Ok)
Lewis passed by Sienne as he began to leave. He waved at her and signed, "good night."
He went into the Hermes cabin, which was now fairly empty. Most of the others were at the campfire or the pavilion. He pulled out a drachma and went into the bathroom, then filled up the sink partially before throwing the drachma into the water.
"Oh goddess, accept my offering."
A rainbow mist shimmered before him, and the faint image of his dad appeared. He explained his situation quickly- the prophecy, and how he feared he might be in on it. He also asked his father if he could order a new pair of glasses and lied about how they had broken, saying they snapped in a training accident.
(Can we have the oneiroi start appearing occasionally at some point, or at least show signs of their presence?)
Viva's heart dropped bit by bit as each of her friends headed up to the fire. She was happy for Miles, being claimed and all, but she didn't want him on the quest. It would be so dangerous.
But even as she began to stand, to head down to volunteer with them, her vision faded out.
Her surroundings began to reform around her and Viva started when she saw her dad inside a music room. Urgh, she thought. Not now, please. Please don't give me another vision right now…
But her prayers were not answered.
"Is this thing coming through?" Apollo hissed, looking left and right.
"Loud and clear," Viva sighed.
Apollo, not exactly being the master of tact, didn't notice Viva's discomfort and jumped straight into a warning. "Well, wonderful daughter of mine (though not so wonderful as me), I'm sure you're aware of the quest. Right?"
Viva stopped herself from saying duh and instead nodded.
"Hmm. Yes," Apollo murmured, "nasty woman that N-" For some reason, thunder crackled from above and Apollo stopped himself in the middle of his sentence. "Aaannnyyways," Apollo continued carefully. "You're a part of it."
Viva wasn't sure whether to laugh, scream or cry. "Me!" she said incredulously. "But what can I do?"
"What can you do?!" Apollo cried, "What do you mean what can you do. Viva, you know your powers. "The quest cannot succeed without your power."
"I DON'T use that power dad," Viva replied, angry now.
"Well, you're going to have to," Apollo said firmly.
Viva blinked back tears. He didn't understand.
Apollo held up a hand, "Wait! I feel a haiku coming on.
Nightmares shatter earth,
My daughter will save the day
We are so awesome!
Viva stifled a laugh/groan at her father's poetry as her vision went black again.
Viva opened her eyes for a second, seeing the campfire, then fainted.
(Do they need to volunteer first, or is that more of a thing with the gods who have more kids? Because I totally forgot to have him step forwards, although he could realize his mistake and come back. not sure.)
(I don't know, but I do agree the oneiroi should be appearing soon)
(yeah, idk whether we should wait until we're on the quest or what. viva is going to tell people what her dad said when someone wakes her up. so in a sense she isn't volunteering, she got volunteered by apollo. you could make lewis have a dream message about it?)
Siren didn't want to volunteer her self because she was afraid, afraid people would laugh at her. She just sat there alone.
(Sure, I was kind of thinking of giving him a dream of some sort, whether it was a nightmare connected to the oneiroi, or a message from his mother. Or maybe a combination.)

Viva opened her eyes for a second, seeing the campfire, then fainted.
Miles started to get really nervous when Sienne and Lewis started talking, but even more nervous when he saw Viva. She closed her eyes for a while, then opened them for a second before crashing to the ground. Miles' breathing went rapid and he ran out of the line towards her. He knelt next to her. "Viva? Viva, wake up!" he whisper-shouted. He didn't want to bring too much attention to them. He looked up at the people in the front, silently asking them for help.
(also, abut the oneiroi thing, I think they should come along when the characters just left camp. And by just left camp, I mean after they've gone a fair way away from it)
(Ok!)
Siren had lost hope of being in the prophecy and ran into the forest and went in the darkest corner crying and she lost hope of ever being noticed again.
(btw I won't be active that much tomorrow so if you need to have a reaction from me you can do it.)
Viva's eyelids fluttered, and she woke up, seeing Miles standing above her.
She tried to stand up. She had something important to tell everyone.
(i like your idea with the oneiroi thing charlie k)
Ari ran over to Viva and Miles. "Viva are you okay?" She asked worriedly.
"Yeah…" Viva replied groggily, still trying to stand. Seeing that Ari still looked concerned, she tried to explain, "Vision, Apollo, quest, bad haiku…"
Miles tried to help Viva up. "Vision? What kind of vision?" he asked.
(thanks)
Viva shook her head, trying to shake off the post-vision haze, the way a dog would shake off water. "My dad…" she mumbled. "He said I-I have to go on the quest…"
Miles' thoughts were running wild. She couldn't come along, it was too dangerous. "Wh-why you?" he questioned.
Viva paused. "uh, something about my power will be the turning point… or something i'm not really sure but he was pretty clear."
Ari put her hand on Miles' arm. Then she whispered in his ear, knowing fully well that they liked each other, "If she comes it will be easier for you to protect her."
Miles looked down at his feet. Great, if Ari knew then everyone else probably did too. "Right," he whispered.
Viva was unsure what Miles and Ari were talking about but she managed to finally rise from her seat and make her way down to where Chiron was.
Siren was all alone in the forest and she started to cry harder.
Miles watched out of the corner of his eyes as Viva made her way to Chiron. He looked up and faced Ari. "How did you know?" he whisper-shouted.
"Well it's kind of obvious. To me, I mean. To others, maybe not. But I've seen that look many times before. And of course, having a conversation by the fire doesn't help." Then she dropped her voice even more, "Especially when the fire turns pink."
"You were there?" Miles asked, his cheeks going pink. "Just don't… please don't tell her. I'm not completely sure if she noticed the fire or not,"
