The city hasn't changed very much, in the time since he was last there. The market still heaves with bodies, the air heavy with spice and incense. He finds himself remembering the scraps of Hindi that he learned when he was here last. He doesn't know the others well, but he tries to keep them in the corner of his eye - particularly Kivrin, who he knows matters to Julie.

"There has to be some way back," he says, to nobody in particular. "To the island, I mean? We cannot be stranded here?"


ooc: gathering post! This is where they get separated, so choose the groups you will, darling ones! :D

The further they walk, the more frustrated he becomes. He cannot imagine a life without Julie, in a foreign country, without even a dragon in sight. All of this is so completely without reason, without purpose.

In the crowd, someone's shoulder catches his and John raises his hand in apology.

The longer they're stuck in this horrible, crowded place, the more frustrated Aphrodite becomes. Sure, it's bitchin' to have her godhood back, but what good is it if she can't use it to get home to her Luke? She's got half a mind to make herself invisible to mortals and start causing some trouble just to blow off steam, but Thor would still be able to see her, and strangely, that's enough to give her pause. For the time being, at least.

"What is this, like, some test?" she asks the group at large. "Some stupid task or whatever the island powers want us to figure out and then they'll send us back?"
