This time, the summons that calls all of the inhabitants of the Prytaneum to the Assembly Hall is something more familiar -- though whether that makes it more or less terrifying depends entirely on the Chosen. Max is at the lead once again, and as they trickle in, they can see her speaking quietly with Griffin Ortega, their attractive weaponsmaster, her arms folded over her chest and just a slight frown on her face. Perhaps she is getting a rundown on where they stand.
As the Chosen settle in and slowly ebb into quiet, she seems to realize they're there; she waves him off with an easy, friendly gesture, and turns to face them.
"We've had more alarming reports trickle in." There is no beating around the bush. Max cracks her knuckles idly, uncomfortably, as she looks out at the group -- still so fresh-faced, to her. "We sent some of our more experienced Chosen out to investigate a strange power surge in the swamps of Louisiana, and it's been over a week since they checked in. We'd like to send out a new group to carefully investigate their camp, and see where it all went wrong."
She half turns, gesturing to the assembled help behind her: much of the staff there, but especially Brynn, Olivia, and Griffin, standing in various stages of confident and awkward, as they look out at the crowd. Brynn looks embarrassed by the attention, nervous; Griffin looks relaxed, whether he feels it or not; Olivia is a picture of faintly-smiling, cool calm.
"Should anything go wrong, make sure to find some of our brightest, and they'll make sure everyone gets back safe and sound."
It's to the Hearth, again; Hestia leading them carefully through the flames, in small groups, to see what went wrong.
