  • OOC: It's ok, don't worry, I just didn't know.


    Angel stood at the top of the hill, looking around and keeping an eye out for anyone and everyone. They didn't hear anyone running but distantly heard a little boy's voice yelling to someone. They tried to understand what to kid was saying but guessed they were too far away to hear properly. Deciding quickly and quietly the full-time camper turned around and headed back down the hill, and would rather eat breakfast then deal with new demigods. Not that they disliked them it was just that the new ones tend to be confused and they -Angel- usually didn't know how to explain things.
    They trudged down the slope which wasn't too steep but not gentle either, with a beeline for the pavilion. It wasn't too long to reach the mess hall. They said "hey" to anyone they passed and that they knew were OK to approach in the morning, which was most people since the ones who didn't want to see anybody in the morning usually just stayed in their cabin to sleep.

    With a plate of over buttered and over syrup-ed pancakes, at least considered that by most other demigods, two strips of bacon, and glass of orange juice, they sat down at her table. For all they knew, nobody else would be sitting at their table. Their cloak, still tightly tied around her waist, hung off the back of the bench and took up some of the space next to them on both sides.

  • Kiara turns, having not heard footsteps behind her. And also, she was right. This hill is very steep. She can walk it fine, but a dead sprint is something that just doesn't work. She swallows, trying to catch her breath.


    "Ah… hi." She says, watching the both of them carefully. She's trying to figure out what's going on, idly petting the tiny kitten that she has cupped in her hands. "Who… are you two?" She asks, still short of breath. She really can't run very well at all.

  • Xander dragged a hand through his hair, relieved that it seemed she had decided not to attempt to kill him after all. "I don't know," he admitted, though silently he was patting himself on the back. Things were going relatively well so far! Of course, he knew exactly what Camp Half-Blood was, but now was a good time to give his story a try; see if it was believable and amend if necessary.
    He sighed dejectedly, leaning against a tree like he was tired as he slipped his hands into his jacket pockets. "My Mom dumped me out here about half an hour ago. Said there was done kind of camp or something for burdens like me." He shrugged like the statement was no big deal, then after some thought, stuck one ring-decorated hand out to her. "It's Xander, by the way."


    Cordelia's look of confusion brought about by being spoken to in another language dissolved into a loud laugh at Fay's last comment. "Yeah, you did!" She giggled aloud. "And I think I speak for all of us when I say thanks for remembering!"
    Cordelia was a little more than intrigued by Fay, especially about growing her bed? A child of Pan was unheard of, and Cordelia was interested in her powers, and how she lived, but also just making friends with the girl herself. "Well, I'm glad you're settling in okay! You should have done breakfast! Oh, but don't forget to give an offering to your dad," she said with a smile. "And if you need somewhere to sit, you're always welcome at the Poseidon table! Maybe we could even team up for the next partner game," she offered.

  • Holliday - Son of Nike

    Andrew huffed. No was paying attention to the poor boy and even ten minutes made him feel like he would explode if he didn't do something. Having finished his pancakes, he stood and looked around the pavilion. Clapping his hands together loudly, he slid into the table and right up next to Pierce. "Hey buddy! How's your morning? Mine's been great. Well, so far, of course." Maybe he was a bit weird, but he never saw it as such. He was just being friendly, after all!

    Tchaikovsky - Daughter of Iris

    Once Anna came into the hall, she realized she was quite possibly the last demigod to get up and head down there. Everyone was either already eating or in some kind of conversation. In fact, some were already getting their days started in activities. Shrugging, she grabbed some bacon and took a seat. She would sit and quietly observe for now, smiling politely at anyone she accidentally made eye contact with.

  • River Magnus- Daughter of Ares & Aphrodite
    After a moments hesitation River accepted Xander's hand with a firm shake from her own. "River." She introduced as she pushed herself off the tree and looked around. "I've been following the road for a while now and it seems pretty empty out here." She informed him as she re-tightened the knot on her make shift leg bandage. "But something tells me we should keep following it." She added, red eyes looking from her leg up to Xander then towards the road. "It's a gut feeling and I've learned to trust those." She uttered and hissed in pain as she shifted putting a bit of weight onto her injured leg.



    Zero- Son of Hades
    An adorable smile planted itself upon Zero's lips when the silver haired girl stopped running and turned to face him and his skeleton friend. "Hi!" He greeted and instantly lost focus on everything at the sight of the kitten. "KITTEN!" The seven year old blurted and bounced over to look at the small calico. "It's super-duper cute! What's it's name!?" He demanded clearly completely wrapped up in the adorable feline the girl was holding.



    Fay- Nymph/ Daughter of Pan
    "You are very welcome." Fay smiled and sat down, her lap instantly becoming a battleground between the two baby jaguars and baby orangutan as to who would sit in it. "You are all very nice here. I am sorry that I do not understand all of your ways but I am trying to learn." She apologized, her smile never fading as she spoke in her thick accent. "Oh yes! Breakfast is very important." She said and looked around still trying to remember where the plates were kept.



    Maxie- Daughter of Hephaestus
    Having finished her personal project for now Maxie made her way out of the workshop. As she made her way towards the dining pavilion the counselor slid her work goggles up onto her head, pushing back her short curly red hair. Deciding she was hungry again already Maxie grabbed a plate and sat down at her fathers table. Nearby she spotted Anna at the Iris table eating her breakfast. "Morning Anna!" The senior camper greeted with a warm smile and a wave, completely unaware or uncaring of any grease smudges on her face.

  • She grins, relaxing a bit, as the tiny kitten looks up at him with sleepy eyes. One blue, the other green. One side of her face is black, the other white. Black and brown splotches cover the rest of her body. "This is Myaro." She says, rubbing the top of her head. "I found her on the way here, and I couldn't just leave 'er."


  • {Xena}
    {Daughter of Hecate}
    ~

    {Xena shifted uneasily as she took a seat at the Hecate table and began halfheartedly peeling an orange. Her eyes scanned through the crowd, skimming over the familiar faces of her fellow campers, people she knew so well. Angel, Andrew, Pierce, yes, and there was Will stumbling up the walk way, and Aria, Lucas... so many faces. Too many to name all at once. She noticed Cordelia and Fay were having an animated conversation, but she did not feel very inclined to speak with any of them. To her disappointment, the tight, empty feeling at the center of her chest had not dissipated with the start of the summer time, as she had hoped it might.
    Glancing about, she found her eyes falling upon one daughter of Ananke; Nikota. She regarded her for a moment, then looked away quickly, not wanting to upset the girl by staring. Being somewhat of a basket case herself, she knew it was not a good feeling to be looked at all the time.}



    {Will}
    {Son of Aphrodite}
    ~
    {Will stumbled the rest of the way to the mess hall, absently shoveling food onto his plate without really looking at what exactly it was. As he was making his way over to the Aphrodite table, he happened to pass by a much shorter, (but most people were given his height) yet familiar figure. He paused, smiling down. "Hey, good morning Leif," he said gently, greeting the him with a kind smile. Although some people were intimidated by his appearance and stature, Will had never really gotten the feeling Leif was one of them, despite not knowing the boy very well. "Did you, uh, enjoy your night?" No doubt, he was making small talk.}


    {Aria}
    {Daughter of Aphrodite}
    ~
    {"Good morning, Andrew, Pierce!" Aria sung as she passed by the two seated boys, smiling radiantly at the two. "Big plans for the day?" she asked with a smile, stopping her tracks in order to actually speak to them properly. She tossed her brunette hair over her shoulder as she smiled brightly at the two. "It's shaping up to be a pretty good summer already, huh?"}


    {Nathan}
    {Son of Ares}
    ~
    {Unable to wait for his sister due to a dire need for food, Nathan dashed into the pavilion, his red hair still practically streaming with water as he vaulted into his seat at the Ares table. "Good morning Camp Half-Blood!" he called with a laugh, smiling and chatting good-naturally with anyone who even so much as glanced at him.}



  • Xander watched her struggle with her wound for a moment, than nodded slowly. "Right, I'm following you because I have no idea where I'm going. So if you're gut knows, that's where we'll go. I suppose." He paused, contemplating the rather elaborate rhyme he had just announced. Shrugging, he pushed himself up off the tree and slung his backpack over his other shoulder, wearing it properly for once. Again, he offered River his hand. "You can... lean up against me. I guess. If you want. Just... don't bleed on the jacket, yeah? It's my favorite."
    He glanced around his head again as he listened to the chirping birds, half-expecting to see a monster leap out from some shadowy corner what with all this talk of them. "It's nice to meet you, by the way," he added as an after-thought. He shifted impatiently as he looked at her, not caring what she decided but wanting to be off regardless.


    Cordelia nodded and patted Fay on the shoulder with a smile. "Don't worry, you'll get the hang of everything in no time! Hey, maybe you could even teach some of us about your ways, yeah?" she asked with a laugh and a kind smile, her blue eyes shining in amusement as she watched the furry brawl occurring between Fay's animals.
    "Oh, and uh, right over there," she added knowingly, pointing out a stack of plates near the breakfast buffet and its layout.

  • They had wolfed down their pancakes but slowed down at their bacon, since they would usually nibble at pieces of it. It was a silly little quirk of their's. Angel had only sipped at their orange juice before standing up and gathered their plate, fork and knife, and glass. Taking a brief pause they pushed up their sunglasses, since they were going to be training a bit today and would be in the sun. In the process they nearly dropped the glass but thankfully didn't, and returned it to the ever-growing pile of dishes at a little metal out-crop with a shuttered window, near the other end of the breakfast buffet table, where eventually at the end of breakfast, the harpies would bring in to start washing them.
    Angel stretched her arms above her head, and was startled by Nathan's sudden appearance at his table. Glancing at him out of the corner of their eye, they relaxed, lowering their arms. Ares kids... the child of Hades thought, Almost always so loud. Of course they could be wrong since some kids went against the stereotypes of being the kid of some god. Example; them. They weren't as moody as everyone would think a child of Hades would be. Sure they'd have bad days but eh, not much. They pushed their shoulders back briefly.

  • River Magnus- Daughter of Ares & Aphrodite
    River was stubborn, very stubborn, and she hated looking weak more than anything. So being injured and hardly able to walk in front of a complete stranger on their way to who knows where was worse than fighting a monster to her. Looking at Xander she shook her head, her pride pushing her painfully forward as she refused the offered help. "I've got it for now." She informed him with a look of determination in her crimson eyes as she turned back in the direction her gut was telling her to go. Despite the pain in her leg she began to limp through the grass and trees again, knowing Xander would follow. "Nice to meet you too Xander." She replied over her shoulder as she held her knife at the ready just in case anything tried to jump out and attack them.



    Zero- Son of Hades
    "She is so cute!" The little boy squealed and looked up at the silver haired girl with eyes full of excitement. "Can I pet her?" He asked looking like he would do anything in the world for this one chance to pet the kitten in front of him. "I'm Zero and you can trust me!" He added as though it might help him be trusted to pet the kitten.



    Fay- Nymph/ Daughter of Pan
    "You know what, I'm sure your right!" Fay agreed with Cordelia, clearly very optimistic. "It's not too hard so long as I speak the right language and put cloths on!" She added and stood up looking at where the daughter of Poseidon had pointed out the plates. "Could you watch Oak, Ceder and Ash for me for a moment while I grab a plate?" She asked with a bright smile as she picked up Oak, one of the jaguar cubs, and passed him over to Cordelia.



    Nikota Claire- Daughter of Ananke
    Nikota stared down at her plate, having grown bored with stabbing the last potato she sat rather still and quietly listened to everyone around her. Part of her wished she could have everything the rest of them did, the ability to make friends and high five and give hugs without a second thought. For her however it wasn't that simple. She couldn't touch anyone, she couldn't even bump into them without seeing their ultimate fate. It left a hole inside her that felt as though it was growing larger and larger every day.
    For a moment Nikota felt as though she was being watched, turning her head slightly she noticed a girl at the Hecate table, Xena, was staring at her. She's not gonna get much of a show from me. The young woman thought to herself and shifted slightly to better hide from the world.

  • She grins, holding out the kitten a bit. "Sure!" She says happily. She can't help it. Terrifying skelemonster or no, this kid is a precious little muffin, and she loves him already.


    Myaro wobbles to her paws, looking up at Zero curiously.

  • Pierce chuckled quietly as Andrew sat next to him. He was interesting to say the least but a good guy and that was all that really mattered to him. He admittedly held a small bit of bias towards people who had been at the camp for awhile, but where was the harm in that? They were less likely to do something they would regret. And he learned about them past the point of his intuition. It was a nice tool but Pierce hated relying on tools. Andrew wasn't extremely complicated from what he had seen so far. He got bored easy, loved attention, he really belonged in this camp to say the least. "Mine has been pretty nice as well." He said shaking his head at Andrew's quick and insistent way of speaking. He then started to eat his food at a faster pace, never one to appreciate taste and flavor more just eating because he needed to.


    Pierce caught the faint glance of Xena as she scanned the tables. To say he was observant after all that has happened and the friends he has lost would be a major understatement. Honestly she was one of the few that had been at camp for just about as long as he himself. He has never had many interactions with her. Although as most people in the camp she is seemingly a good person. He knew of her past and unfortunately could not confirm that she got justice for what had happened. But regardless he hoped the best for his fellow camper. Knowing she was undeserving of the fate that befell her.


    Pierce shrugged as Aria approached them. She was an Aphrodite child of course although he was proud to say that it was easy for him to look past beauty. He had even been training to resist charmspeak with a few of the Aphrodite kids, it was certainly no easy feat and wasn't going quite as well as he wanted but he really tried to cover every field he possibly could. Yet again though this girl was good at heart, he could see she did her absolute best to stay kind and true which was certainly something he could appreciate especially in a child of Aphrodite. "I'm probably just going to relax today honestly. Although it is very nice to be back and I am ecstatic for what is to come." He said actually showing off his feeling in whole. Camp did that to you at times.

  • River's haphazardly tossed sentiment over her shoulder elicited and actual smile from Xander. The corner of his mouth quirked up as he trailed her through the woods, more careful this time about where he put his feet. After all, he had the feeling that tripping in front of her might be something he never lived down. Admittedly, he was quite curious about her. A typical response; wanting to know where someone was from, what they liked and disliked. And for once, Xander held no ulterior motive behind the desire, no malice or trickery. He was, to state in plainly, simply curious.
    Of course, as they stomped through the woods, trying to save their own lives, he doubted she'd appreciate small talk right now. And to be honest, he was never one for it either. "How long've you been out here?" he inquired as he carefully cleared a creeper infested log.


    "Oh, wait, I--" Cordelia's potential objection fell flat as she had the tiny animal thrust into her arms. Her face was full of surprise and uncertainty as the held the cub out at arms length. She stared at it for a few seconds, then gingerly pulled her arms in and cradled into close to her body. "Yeah, I've never done this before," she admitted with a little laugh, stating the glaringly obvious.

  • {Xena}
    {Daughter of Hecate}
    ~

    {Xena couldn't help but glance back at Nikota again as she realized the other girl had caught her looking. Again, Xena turned away, not wanting to upset or have to engage in conversation with her. She went back to slowly nibbling on what appeared to be a pop tart.}


    {Aria}
    {Daughter of Aphrodite}
    ~
    {Aria nodded thoughtfully as Pierce spoke. "Oh, yeah? Sounds like a good plan to me. It's important to take a little breather every now and then," she reminded with a smile, shrugging her shoulders helplessly like the advice just flowed out of her of its own accord. "What about you, Andrew?" she asked, glancing over at him. "Are you planning to take it easy too?" she lightly suggested, knowing the answer with him was probably going to be a big fat no.}

    {Nathan}
    {Son of Ares}
    ~
    {Nathan must have noticed he'd caught the attention of Angel, for he jumped up from his seat with that boundless energy of his and scampered over to her. "Hey, Angel. Morning," he said with a cheeky grin, rubbing the back of his head in some slight embarrassment. "I didn't, uh, bother you, did I? What with my loud voice and all that, sometimes I forget not everyone is enthused first thing in the morning as me," he admitted.}

    [font='Times New Roman, Times, serif']

  • Aurora yawned loudly as she eyed the campgrounds from atop her perch. She was currently laying on a thin sheet of glass, a couple dozen feet above the camp proper while reading a book. It was hovering all by itself, and it hung in the air in the same way bricks don't. She was akin to a queen, really, master of all she surveyed as the camp sprawled lazily underneath her. She swore violently as yet another book fell down to the grass below, wincing as she heard its impact. She was definitely regretting this now, considering she had borrowed these.
    Not that she actually remembered to whom they belonged to.
    She sighed softly, realizing that that was the last novel she had brought up with her and decided to rejoin the world of the living down below. Her platform slowly lowered down, while a rather large pillar rose up to meet the glass she was resting on, in order to aid in the descent. Not that she really needed it, but she was feeling utterly lazy.
    The mage rolled down the hill slowly, not really caring at this point, but taking care to grab all the books that had fallen on the way down. She came to a stop, but refused to move, instead laying on the ground. She groaned loudly, ignoring the fact that the earth was slowly managing to get her to her feet. Once she was leaning on it, she blinked, then smirked. Man, being a stone mage definitely had its perks. After a brief mental calculation, she decided on food, then strolled towards the mess hall. Once inside, she let out a crooked grin as she slithered into her cabin's table and sighed loudly. A short moment later and a towel followed by her books appeared on said table, tossed onto it haphazardly. The witch immediately laid her head on the top, bored.
    Aurora didn't even notice Xena, so fed up was she with the day.

  • River Magnus- Daughter of Ares & Aphrodite
    Stepping carefully through the brush River kept her eyes on the nonexistent path ahead of her while she kept her other senses alert to possible threats that might be lurking. Upon hearing Xander's question she let out a soft sigh, "If by 'out here' you mean out in the real world fighting monsters," She began and took a moment to think about it. "then it's been about three years." She replied and kept moving forward, her crimson eyes darting back and forth through the brush trying to ensure that she didn't end up carelessly walking into a thorn bush or something.


    Zero- Son of Hades
    "Yay!" Zero cheered and lifted his hand to gently rub one finger between the kittens small ears. "She's so soft!" He giggled and looked up at the silver haired girl. "My name's Zero by the way!" He introduced himself as he continued to pet the kitten and giggle.



    Fay- Nymph/ Daughter of Pan
    Gracefully Fay crossed the dining pavilion to grab a plate from the table they were set up at. As she turned around she couldn't help but burst out in laughter as Cordelia cradled the baby jaguar against her chest, clearly unaware that the jaguars twin and the infant orangutan were sneaking under the table for a surprise attack. "Cordelia watch out." Fay warned as she walked back over to the Poseidon table. "Ceder and Ash were getting jealous of Oak." She nodded towards the space under the table as she sat down with her plate that now was piled with fruits including papaya and star fruit.



    Orion Weiss- Son of Chione
    Finally deciding to get up for the day Orion rolled out of bed allowing his body to fall to the cabin floor with a thud. For a moment he lay there contemplating whether or not today was a day to stay inside and read or go outside and read. After pondering the thought for a good long while the white haired boy got to his feet and moved around the cabin getting dressed before grabbing his latest book The Hobbit and making his way out of the 'Other Cabin'.



    Nikota Claire- Daughter of Ananke
    The familiar yet uncomfortable sensation of being watched fell upon Nikota again and finally the girl turned all the way around to give the pink hair girl a piece of her mind. Nikota's version of giving someone a piece of her mind usually meant she would give them a death glare until they decided to never look at her again. So with little effort the silver haired girl began glaring at Xena.

  • She grins, feeling the soft vibration in her hands as Myaro starts purring, nuzzling against Zero. "I'm Kiara." She murmurs, her accent causing the R in her name to roll a little bit. "What brings you all the way out here?" She already knows, she's just trying to make conversation. Humans don't tend to travel with freaky skeleton people.

  • Angel was, once again, surprised by Nathan's quick movements, but certainly wasn't bothered. They were hoping to talk with someone and since she was about to go train, she would probably need a training partner and who better for a training partner than a child of Ares. Letting out a small, light-hearted laugh, they assured him he wasn't bothering them. "Don't worry you're not botherin' me, and good morning to you too." They stretched their arms behind them before asking him a question. "By the way, you have any plans for the day? I was gonna go train with sword-fighting for a bit."
    They ran their hand through their short hair, and then flattened any locks of dark hair that decided to stick up. Their nervous energy left them either messing with the golden strings on their cloak or messing with the puzzle in their pocket. They decided to pull out their little puzzle. It was roughly the size of a rubix cube, and the same shape too. Each side was a different sliding puzzle, and each sliding puzzle had multiple end results somehow. The side of the puzzle cube they were fiddling with was covered in small dashes, which would make a variety of symbols.

  • Pierce sighed as he nodded quietly in agreement. He was all about optimization. He loved being out in the real world taking quests and fighting monsters, but when he wasn't he did everything in his power to become better. A day of relaxation every once in awhile was more of a mental thing then anything. Training definitely got tedious and boring in between quests. And those days are what enabled him to continue training at times.
    Pierce was tempted to ask for some help in charmspeak but honesty was unsure of if she held the ability. She was always a busy body of sorts and he couldn't remember a single good, long conversation with her. And when she moved her focus back to Andrew he gave up on the idea entirely. Although a small bit of curiousity had risen in him.
    At this point all that remained of his breakfast were small scraps and bits of maple syrup. So he decided to move on. "Yeah maybe you should." He said seriously but at the same time knowing there was little chance. "I'll see you guys later." He said leaving them to chat. He had no specific place in mind. Simply starting to wander looking for something that popped out to him.
    The camp had certainly changed a lot over the past few years. The new campers always seemed to be eccentric and exiting. Casualties seemed to generally be going down. People were smarter and more well trained. They were generally small differences but made a completely different camp when put together.

  • Holliday - Son of Nike

    Andrew nodded quickly, "That's good, awesome!" He turned toward Aria, crossing his arms over his chest and his smile growing wider. It was nice when people came to talk to him, even if it was just some small talk. "Me, take it easy? Nope! I've got archery to practice and later I'm planning another attempt at the rock climbing wall." He looked proud of his own plans for the day, at least.

    Tchaikovsky - Daughter of Iris

    Anastayisa looked up, hearing her name. It took a moment to focus on the one who was speaking to her, but she smiled and brushed her hands together to get rid of the bacon crumbs. "Good morning, Maxie. You look like you've been busy," she commented. She always admired the Hephaestus children because they were so great with mechanical work, though. It was always nice to have someone around that could make explosives or craft some kind of really useful contraption or weapon.
