Thea was awoken by someone's knee bumping the  table she was sitting at. She had no memory of sitting at a restaurant at all, but figured the gods were either helping or messing up the quest. The first thing she noticed was Piper beside her. Something had changed since they were at Aeolus's place, but given the fact that she had just woken up her memory was too fuzzy to properly make out what it was. Then she looked at everyone else. Jason - who had been the reason for most of the group to wake - looked around confused as if this place reminded him of something but he couldn't place it.

Ally was at the other side of Piper, and looked like she'd been awoken before Jason decided to wake the rest of them. That didn't mean she looked more awake, just more filled in.

Leo was next to Thea on the other side, and there was definitely something about him as well. Thea fought the urge to rest her head in her hands and take a small nap. She was tired for absolutely no reason. She'd been awake for many hours for months, so why was she suddenly getting tired after barely any time now? She could've sworn she had more energy before they left Aeolus.

Hedge  was by far the most on-guard person - goat - out of the group. He shook himself awake and looked ready for his "die" chanting again.

"What?" He demanded from the opposite side of the table. "Fight who? Where?"

"Falling!" Leo grabbed the table. "No - not falling. Where are we?"

"How did we even end up here?" Ally asked, looking around the table as if one of them would have the answer.

Thea's mind started clearing out and she suddenly realised what had happened once she looked back at Piper.

"I could have sworn you wore something different," She said.

The daughter of  Aphrodite's cheeks flushed a light red colour before she looked down at her own outfit. Thea had never seen turquoise as a colour that would ever be used in a fashionable way, but Piper pulled it off like she did everything. And the daughter of HAdes could definitely say Piper McLean was pulling off the turquoise dress and the black leggings with some leather boots to end the fit.

Her hair matched the quest as well, with a well done braid that didn't look like it would fall out anytime during the quest. On her wrist was  a gorgeous charm bracelet and the jacket she'd worn when crashing into camp was hanging on the chair she was sitting on.

"It's nothing," the girl said. "It's my -"  She hesitated for a moment. "It's nothing."

Leo grinned. "Aphrodite strikes again, huh? You're gonna be the best-dressed warrior in town, beauty queen."
