Leroy would see some of the older siblings leaving for party which he was upset he did not get an invite to.However he heard about a sleepover at the Hypnos Cabin for the younger siblings. He would go and ask Octavia if she planned on going to the sleepover. Depending on her answer he would offer to walk over to the Hypnos cabin with her. He would go up to the cabin and knocked on the door. When he was invited in he would say “Howdy, how are y’all doin this evening? Thanks for the invite.” He would try to make small talk when he would see Derrick out of the corner of his eyes and say “This is a great sleep over and look at that it’s Derrick.” He would walk over to him and say “How are you bon ami? Are you staying the whole time?”

Description of the cabin. The cabin is made of mud walls and a rush roof. A wreath of red poppies hangs on the door. Inside, there's a hearth with a crackling fire. Above the mantel hangs Hypnos' symbol: a poplar tree branch dripping water from the River Lethe, into a collection of tin bowls. Soft violin music is always playing, and the air always smells like fresh laundry. There are always plenty of empty beds, all with feather pillows, fresh sheets and fluffy quilts. The Hypnos cabin makes everyone feel like sleeping, with its cozy and comfortable feel. ((It's safe to say that if not strong enough it could pull you to sleep.)) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There had been some rumors going around the camp about the older kids having a party. Which left the younger kids alone and without anyone watching them. It kind of made Savanna smile a little. But that meant that they could have their own party. So, Savanna had spread the word about her little sleep over at the Hypnos cabin for the younger kids. It was the best place for the kids to be at. They would be asleep by the time that the party was over, and they would be safe. Well, safe enough. She thought to herself. She had a smile on her normally sleepy face. Her older siblings had left the cabin, leaving her and her younger siblings there to do what they wished. She giggled a little at something that one of her siblings said as she sat out the punch and snacks on the table. There were tons of soft pillows around the place so that whoever wanted could totally pass out and sleep. Savanna wasn't sure that she wouldn't be one of those that would be asleep before the party ended. But she was going to try her best to stay awake. She had gotten everything set up and she was ready for the party guest to arrive. She had a bright smile on her face as she walked to the door, swinging it open for those that wanted to come in, to be able to come on in without knocking on the door. She picked up a glass of punch and a cookie and glanced at the door, waiting for someone to walk in.

Octavia was worried about having to be put to sleep by her big brother, because she had heard that there was another party being put on by the older campers. Which sucked. She didn't want to be put to sleep because of that reason again. She huffed a little when Leroy had asked her to go to the sleep over together. She hadn't heard about that one yet, but she was excited enough to go. She walked over to the Hypnos cabin with her big brother and looked around the area. The door was open, and she could hear people talking on the inside. She grinned as she walked in but something about the place made her want to go to bed. She fought it for a moment and then noticed Derrick over there. Apparently so did her brother. A small smile came to her face as she ran and jumped on Derrick. "Did you meet Leroy, he's, my brother. Big brother but still my brother." she grinned looking at the older boy with a grin. She couldn't help but love the fact that she had more family. However, her attention was turned to a girl that asked about something hanging on the wall. She tilted her head being a little curious as well.

Derrick had told that his older sibling were going to some party and he was not allowed to go. Well he didn't want to be around a bunch of weird older people anyways. Azrael told him about this sleepover at the Hypnos cabin which he was happy to join in on. Of course he made sure Leroy his new friend was coming to as he didn't want to be surrounded by girls. Maybe they would try to hold him down and kiss him.....GROSSSSSSS. This thought made him shake his head with a disgusted look on his face as he walked to the cabin. It wasn't too far from his own but he was taking his own time. That was when he noticed Julia the girl he had a food fight with going on into the cabin. Holding his small bag and pillow he then rushed to the cabin as he had never been inside. His eyes got big as he looked around at all the things inside as this place seemed very peaceful. "Hey" he said as he noticed julia wasted no time is going for thing. Was Savannah going to stop her?

Julia had heard the rumors going around camp about a party going on, it was mainly for the older campers which she wasn't the happiest about. She would of loved to go have some fun at a party. That's when she found out that her friend Savanna decided to put on a sleep over, and Julia was happy once again. Throwing on her comfy pjs, packing a small bag, as if she needed to. Smiling as she tossed the bag over her shoulder, she walked out of her cabin, her older sister was already leaving for the big kids party. She didn't see her younger siblings, she thought maybe they heard about the sleep over before she did, so she shrugged and walked out the cabin, headed to the Hypnos cabin. Walking up on the cabin, Julia admired the look of it, it looked so different than most the other cabins. With a bright smile on her face she walked up to the open door and stepped it "Knock Knock" she said as she glanced around the inside of the cabin. Spotting the punch and snacks, she tossed her back by the door and headed straight for the table, making herself a glass she sipped on it as she turned to see where Savanna was. "Hi! Your cabin looks so neat inside" she comments, still looking around, when she notices some white stuff coming from the walls. Cocking her head to the side, she walked toward the wall, "woah, what is this stuff?" she questioned just ask she started to right for it with her left hand.

Becca heard of the party going on in one of the cabins as clear and as loud as she could in her own cabin as apparently someone have invited them to the party tonight. Though she wasn’t feeling like it , and had gone to the sleepover she heard of for the younger demigods here at camp. Being one who was kind of bit of both, she thought she would lunge towards the Hypnos cabin as she wanted to spend time knowing those younger kids too. Maybe she could find some who were looking forward to sleeping instead of the craziness and all. She would also like to check out how the Hypnos do their work, maybe they would give them a good night dream ? Oooh she was eager to find out. She entered softly spotting several there already. Walking towards the gang , already feeling the sleepiness all around her. Yawning a little she grabbed a cookie wondering if the food here was even dipped with the little bits of drowsiness.

I heard that a certain manwhore might be in loveeeeee

As Silvio brought out the brownies, Alyssa snagged one. "Thanks." She said with a grin. Henry determined that the next person would take their turn. Seemed like a reasonably decision to her. Watching the group to see who would be brave enough to volunteer, she almost raised her hand herself when Sage volunteered. As she chose truth, Alyssa smirked at the question. She could think of a fair few of the boys she could have responded with. A few of them might have been around this very campfire. Of course a kiss was very different than dating. Her list would probably shrink if she had to confess who she would willingly date. As Sage answered, Alyssa nodded in acceptance. That was a respectable answer. Gael was cute enough to look at. She could see why Sage would choose him. The game continued with Sage asking Shi Jin about the darkest thing he had used his luck magic on. Alyssa had to admit, that question got her attention. Children of Hebe had very little in the way of active abilities. Many of theirs were passive. Sometimes she envied the campers whose abilities were more obvious. She wondered what she would do if she had a more active set of powers from her mother. Surprising absolutely nobody, Shi Jin's answer was almost boringly tame. Grades? Yawn. She thought to herself. Before long Loukas rejoined the group. So far, she had to admit that he seemed to be the most impressive of the bunch so far. Though the game had just started, she was sure there would be plenty more excitement to come. However her attention instantly shifted as Shi Jin made his choice. Finley. Alyssa wouldn't admit it out loud, but their last encounter had intrigued her. She was somewhere between friendly and crushing on him, and hadn't really made up her mind where it would go. His choice came as no surprise to her. Of course he picked dare. She silently chuckled to herself. As Shi Jin dared him to kiss one of the boys, her eyebrow quirked as she realized it didn't bother him at all. Either he's very secure, or he's bi. Alyssa came to the conclusion. Either way, this will be a good show. She watched as he walked over to Silvio and planted one right on his lips. As the kiss grew more sensual, Alyssa smiled to herself. Definitely bi. Poor Silvio seemed dazed after Finley's kiss. Who wouldn't be after that? Alyssa knew that she would have been after a display like that. She wasn't sure if that display had made her move more towards friend zone or crush as far as the child of Iris was concerned, but it definitely had gotten her attention. And the way he casually moved the game along after was fairly smooth. Henry chose dare as well, and Alyssa almost choked on the brownie she was eating as Finley spoke his dare to her. Well this game suddenly turned around. The way she followed through, however, was the real gold though. Completely worth the drachma that had been spent. Alyssa was certain that her threats fell on deaf ears, however. No one at that campfire was likely to forget anytime soon. The game continued with the next camper, and Petal chose truth. Her answer was fairly sad, and Alyssa had to admit she felt bad for the girl. Causing the death of a dog at only seven years old when you didn't know any better, that had to have been rough. Say what you wanted about the teenagers at Camp Half-Blood, but she couldn't think of any of them that wouldn't have sympathy for Petal after that story. Nobody enjoyed hearing when animals died. It almost felt wrong to continue the game after that confession, but continue it did. Soon enough Silvio could be seen pole dancing against a tree. That brought the mood right back where it needed to be, and the game was saved. Next up was Miro and they got two confessions for the price of one. Alyssa let out a soft chuckle. One that she regretted because she was fairly certain it is what got her noticed. Before she knew it, it was her turn. With a shrug, Alyssa answered. "Well I'm sure as hell not going to bare my soul to this cutthroat crowd." She gave a light-hearted laugh before answering. "Hit me with a Dare." She said as she gave Miro a look, challenging him. As soon as she gave her answer, Gael and Tempest showed up. The game was really growing fairly crowded. Alyssa began to wonder just how much she might start to regret her decision.

Petal watched Silvio, her eyes brightening with an idea. She needed to lift the somber mood that had suddenly cloaked their gathering. But she also wanted to make sure the dare was light-hearted, a way to ensure everyone was reminded that they were here to have fun. Her gaze shifted to a thin tree not far from their gathering, and a mischievous grin spread across her face. "Alright Silvio, I dare you to...," she began, her voice teasing as she pointed to the tree, "treat that thin tree as if it were a stripper pole and give us a dance." She couldn't help but giggle, trying to picture Silvio in such an outlandish scenario. "And don't worry, strip down to your comfort level," she added quickly, not wanting to make him feel too awkward. "Or feel free to put on a full show if that's what you want!" Petal chuckled, feeling her own mood lift as the others began to react to her dare. It was a silly, even ridiculous dare, but that's exactly what they all needed right now. She clapped her hands together, her energy infectious. "Come on Silvio, let's see those moves!" @ Silvio Suarez

Campers, please give a warm welcome to the following new campers: Hunter Betelgeuse Maddox Grimes Mason Grimes The Newly Claimed Some of our campers also were recently claimed. Congratulations on finding your family guys! Jules Vivian (Hebe) Maddox Grimes (Ares) Mason Grimes (Ares) May 8, 2022 Camp Half-Blood Press Rumblings on the Mountain Mount Olympus has been quiet for many years. Until very recently, we've heard not much of a peep from our godly parents outside of Mr. D's musings as he oversees us here at Camp Half-Blood. But good authority says that just recently, The Fates have found themselves called up to the city in the clouds to speak with none other than their father. No comment was available as to what they were summoned for. When asked for input, The Fates simply continued to knit a pair of purple and pink socks. Their silence could mean something sinister. Or it could simply be that they don't like talking to demigods. We may never know. Zeus was unavailable for comment, as the guard at the elevator wouldn't allow demigods up for 'such trivial matters'. More on this story as it develops. The Next Generation? Rumors have been flying across camp that a certain Daughter of Aphrodite and her boyfriend, a certain Son of Hecate, are experiencing some relationship distress. The morning after a certain God made an appearance, however, a ton of screaming and crying could be heard from Cabin 20. Confirmation as to whether Ms. Helena L'Amour spent the night with Mr. Mateo Sanz seems to be inconclusive. However, all of the Cabin 20 residents can agree that the two of them began screaming far too early in the morning for their cabin's taste. What were they screaming about? Apparently Helena is expecting and failed to tell her partner soon enough for his tastes. When asked for a comment on the subject, Helena simply sobbed. The poor girl seemed incredibly heartbroken over the ordeal. Mateo, by contrast, was nowhere to be found. This reporter wants to know: Is this the start of a new generation of Half-Bloods? Our interim Activities Director, Lilythe, refused to comment at this time. Godly visitors: Harbingers of Doom or Heralds of glory? For those who made it to the bonfire, it will come as little surprise to know that we had a second god in our midst last night. None other than Lord Ares himself deigned to come to Camp Half-Blood. He seemed fired up and ready to tussle. A few campers made the poor decision to insult the God. Ares unleashed his fury--or at least made them demonstrate their own fury--which caused quite a few injuries. Samantha Adams received some of the worst of it, and required the attention of an Apollo camper shortly after the situation dissipated. Ares could be seen walking off with his children towards their cabin. Little is known about what was discussed, and those in the Cabin appear to have been sworn to secrecy. Only time will tell if they will manage to retain that secret. It's been a long time since another god has come to camp. Those who have been at camp a while say that they are harbingers of ill-tidings. Something dark always seems to follow their presence. But many newer campers believe that the coming of the Gods to camp indicates a chance to bring glory to their names. Who's to know? Only time shall reveal whether or not this doom or glory.

Smirking she knew that Henry really just wanted to come to the party to see a certain demi-god by the name of LIAM!!! "Well next time it might be better if you go in with a TEAM of us since well who knows what might happen tonight." Her eyes went around the room taking in everyone that was there. Then looking back to see that Henry was making comments about Loukas being out of her league. Covering her laugh she then noticed Tempest who her sister was friends with. That was a girl she had to watch like a hawk. Tempest smelled of trouble that she loved to see in camp as those that came to her for justice. But it was when Liam and Nova both got to the party that she could feel things heating up. What was liam thinking coming tonight? Was he asking for trouble as rumor were like wildfire around the camp already about the kiss. This was no secret for sure, well secrets that she was used to finding. "We got your back, don't worry" she said as she waited to see if anymore trouble spelled S H A D O W showed up. Gosh that was all they needed was that ass-prick to come to the party. OH SHIT, speak of the devil and the devil will appear. Her eyes then narrowed as she watched Shadow lead Lilythe into the party. How could she stay with this asshole who was clearly second place to Azrael???? She could see how cozy he was and fuck she wanted to ruin his night. As her mind tossed and turned she was glaring at him. Okay think sage, she thought to herself! You got to be one step ahead of him as he is a slimy sleaze ball!!

Mason was kind of bummed that him and Maddox weren't allowed to go to the jamming sounding party. Dustin basically said we weren't old enough and told them to head off to the Hypnos's cabin for a sleepover with the other young campers. At first Mason was hesitant and he could tell his brother was too, "the heck with it! let's just go, better than staying in our empty cabin well our older brothers and sisters go have fun without us!" he exclaims. Packing himself a small bag for himself, he wondered what kind of trouble they could get into there. Once Maddox was ready, they both headed out to the Hypnos cabin. Mason remembered meeting Savanna in the forest not to long ago and how just having her around made him feel tired and he looked to Maddox "have you meet a Hypnos camper yet?" questioning him. He wondered if she could do that to him, then what was it going to be like in the cabin. As they arrived the door was already open, picking in there was already a few campers here, but the only person he knew was Savanna, the rest he'd only seen in passing at the camp so far. "Hi Savanna" he waves with a smile. That's when he spots two boys already here and he felt a little better knowing that him and Maddox weren't going to be the only boys, because usually sleep overs were for girls. Looking to Maddox he smiles, "I'm going to go say hi to those two boys over there" he points and walks toward them "Hey guys! I'm Mason" he introduces himself.

Dahlia's heart raced as she made her way towards the Hypnos cabin for the slumber party. She clutched her small bag of snacks and nervously adjusted the strap of her overalls, the only child of Demeter among a sea of other Demi-gods. She wasn't used to social gatherings like this, always more at home in the peaceful company of plants and the soothing presence of her mother's green thumb. As she approached the cabin, the soft murmur of voices and laughter reached her ears. A wave of apprehension washed over her, and she hesitated for a moment, considering whether to turn back and retreat to the comforting embrace of the Demeter cabin. But she had promised herself that she would try to make more friends, and this was an opportunity. Taking a deep breath, Dahlia entered the cabin. The interior was dimly lit, with the other campers her age there talking. Seeing Savannah and Rebecca she felt a little more at home. "Ummm hi everyone" she gave a smile as she walked over to the cookies. "Hey rebecca" she grinned as she took a cookie.

Derrick, wide-eyed and a bit overwhelmed by the new surroundings, looked up at Leroy and Octavia with a grin as they approached. "Hey, Leroy!" he giggled as he was so happy to see his friend. "ummm I am not sure what you said Leroy but I'm good, thanks. Yeah, I'm planning to stay the whole time. This place looks amazing, doesn't it?" He gestured around the Hypnos cabin, still in awe of its tranquil atmosphere. This was so different than his own and he hadn't been in too many other cabins. Each seemed to be designed for the god or goddess children. Octavia's sudden jump onto him took him by surprise, but he chuckled and patted her head gently. "Hey there, Octavia! Yeah I met Leroy when he got to camp...he beat me in a race," he said, giggling some more as he began to spin around being silly. "Yeah, your sister's pretty cool and sometimes she beats me in skipping stones" he added with a playful grin. Putting his things down he then looked around with a shocked expression. Seeing another girl( rebecca) joined the group he waved to her. The rushed over to where she was as their was cookies!!! His favorite! "These look so good" he said to rebecca.

Andralyn was in her room counting the money she just won in a bit, when she heard James's voice, loud as ever! Apparently, they had a new sibling, which was nice, but at the same time Andralyn really didn't care to greet people on someone else's time. Of course, she knew if she didn't get up and great our new sibling, James would be upset with her. Pulling her desk drawer open, she sticks the money into it and walks out into the living area. Standing next to James was a small boy, Octavia was already out bubbly as ever greeting the boy. Andralyn was happy that the boy seemed to be closer to Octavia's age so that would be good for her little sister. Walking over to the boy she smiles down at him "Hello, I'm Andralyn, your big sister". She really wasn't sure what else to say, looking to James, she gave him a half ass smile. She wasn't sure if since she introduced herself, she could go back to her room, or if she had to stay out there. Giving her big brother a look, "So what now?" she questions him.

The challenge seemed playful on the surface, but the subtle undertones of vulnerability and trust in Gael's response to her were evident. It was an opportunity, she realized, to pierce through Gael's seemingly impenetrable armor. Maybe, just maybe, she could touch that hidden part of him, that softer side that lay buried beneath layers of darkness and mystery. Taking a deep breath to muster her courage she moved closer to Gael, her fingers brushing against his back. It was a sensation of warmth, strength, and a hint of danger, all in one. Slowly with the grace of a dancer, she positioned herself to climb onto his back. Her hands gently reached up to secure the blindfold over his eyes, the tips of her fingers lingering on his forehead for a split second longer than necessary. As she secured her position on his back, she took the opportunity to indulge her cheeky side. Playfully, she tugged at a strand of Gael's hair, a playful retaliation for his earlier antics. "This way," she whispered, directing him with gentle tugs, as if holding the reins of a wild stallion. With every step they took, Petal felt the rhythm of Gael's movements, the subtle shifts in his muscles, the controlled power in his stride. Trusting someone in the way plus also being responsible for their safety was exhilarating and terrifying all at once. As they navigated around the camp, Petal was hyper-aware of their closeness and blushed. Every now and then, she'd lean in and whisper directions into his ear, her lips barely brushing against his skin. Petal was kinda shocked that they had not stumbled over anything yet, at least not too badly. And while there were quite a lot more zigs and zags than the normal straighter path one might take they still managed to clear about 75% of the "course" with relative ease. Nearing a corner she could see the distant light of the campfire again, so close! "Almost there Gael, giddy up!" she teased playfully, soft laughter filling the otherwise quiet atmosphere.

The dare came to his ears like a river and his eye widened, showing his emotion for just a moment. He didn't want to do that did he? But did he want to sit here and let the others call him names for not doing something so simple. It was an easy dare, but to have Petal telling him where they needed to go might be the harder part. He closed his eyes for a long second before opening them once again. He stood up nodding at Mila. "Sure." he said to her as he dusted himself off. His eyes landed on Annie there. They had chatted a little when they were in the cabin, and he nodded at her too. She got him, being a child of a god that wasn't represented in the camp. He turned to look at Petal this time as she started talking to him. He was really going to do this wasn't he? He went over to grab the blindfold from Mila and turned back to the little Sprite. "You can get on my back and put the blindfold on me." he told her in a soft but rough voice. "So, hurry up." he told her with a small, forced smile on his lips.

Miro was sitting next to Novalie the whole time, marveling at what came out of Tempest's mouth, the girl could be very mean, and the fact that Mila was her sister didn't change anything. But Miro was blushing because although he had come here to get over Elena, he was developing a crush on a certain girl....they had only seen each other a few times but....would this be the right time? No one got up, it was his time. He kept looking at Mila in the center and didn't give a single glance to the others, he knew that if he did he would lose all the trust he had. He got up and walked over to Mila, the fact that she was blindfolded helped, she got closer and closer until their noses touched, he kissed her and his heart fluttered with joy, it was his only attempt to win her secretly, so he made the kiss last quite a while, he knew he good at it and the one in front of him was Mila, his maybe-secret crush. Then he stopped, and their lips parted, he stood in front of her, waiting for her reaction.

Tempest had the perfect dare in mind for her sister, especially considering how much fun they'd had with Loukas earlier. "Alright, brave soul," she began. "For your dare... you're going to need a blindfold. Once it's securely on, one of our fellow campers here will give you a kiss. Your task is to guess who it was. And just so we're clear," Tempest added with a wicked glint in her eye, "if you guess wrong, you'll be taking a refreshing skinny dip in the lake, much like our dear friend Loukas had the honor of doing earlier this evening. What do you say? Do you have the courage?" Tempest reached into her bag, pulling out a dark piece of cloth she had once used as a makeshift sleeping mask. "Here's your blindfold," she declared, twirling it in her fingers. She threw it to Mila, watching intently for her reaction.

Benji's muscles tensed as he followed Liam, resisting the urge to throw a snarky comment towards the retreating form of Ares. His relationship with his father had always been complicated; a mix of resentment, admiration, and the inescapable need for approval. The overpowering scent of leather and iron from Ares' armor brought back memories of his earlier days at camp, some of which he wished to forget. Why now? Benji wondered, feeling the anxiety gnawing at his gut. It's not just about some stupid quarrel at the bonfire. As he lined up next to his brother, his fingers discreetly tapped Liam's back in a quick rhythm – their own form of communication. It said, Stay calm. We'll handle this. Though externally, Benji seemed confident, a stream of thoughts raced through his mind. What had Dustin done to receive such an attention? And more importantly, why was Ares here, now? Benji subtly shifted his weight from one foot to another, his dark eyes darting around the room, seeking any signs or clues. Even if he was known for his impulsive nature, in moments of real danger, his senses heightened and every detail became critical. He took a deep breath, hoping to quell the storm of emotions within. A part of him longed to step forward, to defend his siblings and challenge Ares' authoritative demeanor. But expereince, gathered from years at the camp, told him now was the time to watch, listen, and learn.

Liam was still in shock that his dad was here and that shit had gone down!!! Those other campers plus his sister Elena had talked back to Ares in a way he was impressed with their boldness. But it was foolish as seen after from the rage he brought up in all of them. Part of him wanted to slip away but he knew his dad would catch him. Of course he was proud to the son of Ares but then again it was terrifying to see him here. That was not always the best sign for things to come! Was there a war brewing that they knew nothing about? Liam held his breath as he heard his dad say to follow him. Nodding he made sure to move in a way that would fit Cabin 5. They went over to where the cabin was so they were called to line up. Grabbing his brother Benji, he made sure to go in line with the others as he stood up straight and puffed his chest out. He did not want to be Dustin right now!!!!

Miro laughed when he heard Silvio's question, he honestly expected something like this but certainly not so direct, he honestly didn't want to say "that thing" and tried to think of others, but then he remembered how everyone had brought into play and if Silvio wanted "the most embarrassing thing" he would have given it to him. He took another drag on his cigarette, it was almost gone and the ash fell on the floor as he said with a smile: "It's a very long story but I'll tell you the part that interests you. I arrived in America by sea, I was a fish.. yes it's weird i know and no i can't become a fish on command...however, when i got to the port i was human again in the water, i was all wet and without clothes.i was definitely embarrassed but i wanted to get out of the port without being seen , so I walked 20 minutes through New York Harbor naked and wet not knowing I was actually in New York… my ass could have ended up in the newspaper." He started giggling after he finished and she could still remember how cold he was that day, surely it was the most embarrassing thing he had done. "Then there would also be that time my sisters dressed me as Barbie for a fashion show in the cabin but that's another story..., happy now Silvio dear?". Yes, they were funny memories, Miro found himself blushing, a lot. @ Silvio Suarez

Silvio actually laughed when Henry did her dare, her switch in personality was something musing to see. The girl who joined just in time to witness his kiss with Finley was next. She had a really cheerful character, but when she picked truth and had to share what possibly traumatized her, he could see her switch in personality, and it was not musing this time. When she mentioned a dog and brownies, he knew what would come next. His arms crossed and his facial expression stayed neutral throughout. He had seen a lot of things in his life and had build a really strong exterior. Something like this immediately made him close up. "Dare." he answered simply. He already knew picking truth in this game was the worse of both options, and seeing Petal sharing her trauma discouraged him further to share anything with these people he barely knew. Anything Petal would dare him to do he would do it. Silvio had always been a man of actions rather than words anyway.

Asher had managed to let herself feel but she was still capable of putting it all back in its place. She had always been afraid that if she allowed herself to feel the emotions that other people dwelt ok so freely that she would never be able to put them back where they belonged and she would constantly have to play this game of reason versus emotions. But alas, she knew she was capable of putting it all back and locking the box shut without remorse. And how did she know that? Because it wasn’t long before she saw one of the Aphrodite’s girls wrap her arms around Theo. It wasn’t like she could hear what they were saying, but she could see her expression and while she couldn’t decipher whether or not the look on Evelyn’s face was that of flirtation or not, it didn’t help settle herself at all. She stared at them, her expression turning into that of cool indifference, trying to decide what she was to do. She had seen them and she wanted them to know that she had seen them, but she wasn’t sure if that contact and then walking away would provide her with the best outcome. Asher was not a jealous person but she knew she didn’t like when something of hers was taken without notice or permission. And yet she couldn’t claim Theo as her own because what they were to each other was still unclear and perhaps that was what angered her most. So she walked towards them, one calculating foot in front of the other and when she came in close proximity with them, her expression changed. No longer was it indifferent but rather it made it clear that she had thoughts on the matter and none of which showed either of them in the best light. “Hi Theo. Evelyn.” Was all she said. Each word final. Without question at the end or chase for rebuttal. She wanted him to know what she was thinking but she wanted him to say it himself. And her, well, she wanted to know why she had to be so obviously cheap.

In a sudden interruption, a small figure burst through the clearing. Petal, a perpetual ray of sunshine at the camp, was beaming with more energy than ever before. Arriving late to the game, she had no clue of what the proceedings were until she caught sight of her brother Finley, pulling away from an intense kiss with Silvio. The sight was a jolt of surprise to her young mind! A giggle erupted from her lips. She took a moment to tease him, a playful smirk tugging at her lips as she said, "Wow, Finley, didn't know you had it in you! What a plot twist!" as she took her seat with the group.

When Silvio sat and the guy next to him greeted him he responded with a timid, "Oh h-hey,". 'Fuck what was that' he thought to himself. He had never been that shy before. But he simply brushed it off, they were people he barely knew, would make sense for him to feel a little bit shy, at least that was how he justified the slight red flush across his cheeks. It did not help with how he felt the guy's gaze on him for a while. He watched a poor boy coming back from the lake, wet from the dip. He smirked a little. He learned their names by observing, Shi Jin, Henry, Loukas. 'Oh come on,' he thought as he heard Shi Jin's answer. That could not have been the darkest thing, or perhaps the guy was just a nice person. Then he learned that the guy next to him was called Finley. Silvio looked at Shi Jin, wondering what he would dare the guy. 'Kiss.. a guy?..' he had never thought of something like that, probably because he was not exposed much to things like that before, it was a new idea to him. When Finley looked at him and they locked eyes, he could feel his heart race, 'Oh fuck.'. But when the child of Iris drew near, his body seemed to give in. When their lips collided he could feel a tingling sensation spread through his body to his fingertips, something he had never experienced before. When Silvio felt the touch around his waist he gasped a little, surprised but a welcomed one; and somehow his hand found its place on the side of Finley's face as they embraced each other in the passionate heat. When they pulled away, Silvio smiled at Finley's gaze. The high from the kiss still lingered in his brain. That was until he was brought to reality as he looked around. Heart still beating as fast as a race car. His cheeks still flushed bright red. But hey it was a fun experience, he smiled to himself. He wondered why he had not felt that way before with the other girls he had kissed...

Finley's heart skipped a beat as Shi Jin revealed the dare. A playful smirk tugged at the corners of his lips, and he turned his gaze towards Silvio. Fin already thought the guy was pretty cute and be was bisexual so why not. Their eyes locked for a brief moment, the air buzzing with anticipation and excitement. Without hesitation, Finley closed the distance between them, his lips meeting Silvio's in a deep, passionate kiss. Time seemed to stand still as their mouths moved in perfect harmony, a rush of emotions coursing through Finley's veins. His hands instinctively found their way to Silvio's waist, pulling him closer, intensifying the connection. As the kiss reached its crescendo, Finley slowly pulled away, his lips lingering momentarily before parting completely. A breathless smile played on his face as he met Silvio's gaze. It was a daring move, a moment that would be etched in his memory forever. With a mischievous glint in his eyes, Finley turned back to the group, his heart racing with a newfound thrill. "Well, that was fun," he remarked, his voice laced with a mix of confidence and satisfaction. "Who is going to be next......how about Henry? Truth or Dare?" @ Silvio Suarez @ Henrietta Abbot

It was quite late already but Silvio was just about done cleaning up everything in the kitchen place from the dinner session earlier. Being a cook means cleaning up the mess you have made, which sounded silly but Silvio did not mind the work. He liked working, it gave him something to do, something to distract himself with. He could use substances for that but he felt like he was better than that. He had read about herbs and their many uses and he did not want to go through any kind of addiction of withdrawal, he knew better. But he was desperate. He let out a short breath of relief as he was done with everything, he looked around to see if he had missed anything. He did, there were some leftover brownies. He wanted to throw it in the fridge but when he opened it it was full, as always. There were still a lot of the brownies left and he did not want to waste it by throwing them away. So he walked out with the tray of brownies in hand, hoping to find a group of adolescents and teenagers who were still hungry at this hour, which a lot of them are. Under the moonlight the silver chain he wore around his neck and on his collarbone glistened. He was just wearing a plain white tee, some part of it still wet from all the cooking and cleaning. He could use a shower. Thankfully the mint he wore did not make him smell of body odor from all the sweat from before. He paired his white tee with a ripped tight black jeans and a pair of sneakers. His usual cook attire you could say, light and breezy. Comfortable to move in. As he walked he saw a bunch of people gathered around the fire. He walked closer towards them. When he was within their proximity, he said "Hey we got some leftover brownies, you guys wanna finish them?" while showing the tray still filled with the sweet looking brownies. Silvio did not really care what they were doing gathered together so late in the night. He was used to seeing kids doing stuffs like this. Especially when he came back late from the kitchen just like that night. He noticed two of them smoking as well but he was not one to talk much or mind other's businesses, let alone snitch. "Oh and they are not pot brownies if you're concerned," he grinned.

Asher had spent enough time in the quote and quote real world and now she was back at camp. She had to. She had grown up dividing these two words in completely different sectors that when she ventured from one to the other it felt as thought she was stepping into a completely different world. And in a sense, she was. For instance, her life in New York was unlike anything she had ever experienced at camp. In fact, her life in New York was different that even that of your average New Yorker. Camp was a sanctuary in some ways and it seemed that despite everything, stepping foot into Cabin 20 was like being able to breathe again in some way. So she had packed her bags and come back and now that had settled in, she was looking forward to seeing one individual in particular. That individual, with whom she had created more than just a little spark. That man that somehow managed to bring a smile to her face every time he walked into a room. She hadn't asked Theo if he would be back but she wanted to assume that he was. Though she couldn't understand why she had never asked him. It would be very simple and he would answer but Asher was learning to open up and let him in. Reaching out first was certainly not something she would do. And yet, she still wondered around the camp grounds hoping to bump into him ever so subtlety and perhaps continue where they had left off. Though if it was up to her, they would engage in other things, like understand what they meant to each other. At least in part Asher wanted to have that conversation. @ Theodore Thatcher @ Evelyn Scott

There was an odd grace to her movement as she made her way through the bunks, stringing up the last of the multicolored streamers her aunt had mailed in with the latest care package. That did remind her - she needed to put some extra effort into her tank-you card this time around. Aunt Amelia had truly outdone herself. When the box had first arrived, it had been the envy and curiosity of every camper who saw it in the mail room. A brightly-colored parcel the size of of many of the preeteens themselves. And knowing that her aunt shared her passion for gift-giving, Emberlynn herself had been more than excited to open it. But the present had been far more generous than the girl had expected. The box had contained a variety of streamers and art supplies, a face-painting kit, several trays of sugary confections from her bakery, and even a karaoke machine (one of the old timey ones that operated off of discs with a chorded microphone, as Amelia was well aware of the dangers electronics posed to demigods.) With it had been a note written in her signature flowery handwriting: For Emberlynn: I know how much you love to throw parties for your friends, and I'm sure you've made tons of new ones at Camp Half-Blood! Here's some supplies to get you started. Love ya and miss ya! - Auntie A Emberlynn had puzzled for days over the best way to make use of her gift. Should she wait for a birthday or holiday? Request permission from Mr. D to hold a pop-up party at the big house? But the inspiration had struck her while looking at a painting she'd created with her sister in the craft room. This would be a perfect opportunity to bond with Hailey and Petal! She'd always wanted a sister (well, a real one, not her perfect princess of a stepsister who refused to acknowledge her attempts at bonding), and discovering that she now had two of them had brought her immense joy. But she'd been so wrapped up in camp events and developing her magical abilities that she'd scarcely had the time to give her social abilities a stretch. She hadn't hosted a party in forever, and where better to start then right here in their very own cabin! She took a step back, admiring the afternoon's work. The karaoke machine sat in one corner. In the other, she'd placed a plastic table with one of the craft rooms paint-splattered tarps as a makeshift tablecloth. The trays of beautiful sweets from Auntie A's bakery were laid out there alongside some slightly-less-beautiful ones she'd made herself in the kitchens. She was still learning after all. Along the back wall she'd set up a little face painting station with the kits she'd been given, and a banner strung up that read " GIRLS NIGHT! ". Ember wore a wide grin as she admired her handiwork. Yeah... this felt good. It had been far too long. Pleased with the layout, she sat down on her bunk, eagerly watching the door to greet her sisters when they arrived.

Petal felt a complicated tangle of emotions as she finds her head positioned in Andralyn's lap and Gael's hands moving up her thighs. The sensation is both thrilling and nerve-wracking; these were her coolest friends, and the idea of leveling up their friendship in this intimate way created a mixture of anticipation and slight apprehension within her. She was also hyper-aware of how she felt physically: the touch of Andralyn's hands on her thighs and Gael's closeness produced an electricity that made her skin tingle. As Andralyn squeezes her thighs, Petal fails to surpress the urge to gasp "Ahhhhh" she blushed hard after that sound escaped her lips. Her heart was pounding as she processed this new, daring dimension their friendship had ventured into. This is a point of no return, she thinks to herself. She can't help but note Andralyn's flushed cheeks and the way her eyes burn with a desire that seems to mirror her own. She wonders for a split second if Andralyn is also considering the ramifications of this bold new step in their friendship. The room feels charged with unspoken questions and unvoiced emotions, almost as if time has paused to give them all a chance to back out or dive deeper. In that moment, spurred by a mix of courage and the wish to impress, Petal looks up and locks eyes with Andralyn and then Gael. "I dare you to find out," she says softly, but clearly. Her voice carries a playfulness that barely conceals the undercurrent of earnest curiosity and desire. It's a gamble, an invitation for both of them to explore this uncharted territory with her. She feels vulnerable but empowered, fully aware that her words have set them on a path of new discovery, for better or worse.

As Gael pulls her closer and their lips meet, Petal's heart races in her chest with surprise, her thoughts scattering like leaves in the wind. For a moment, nothing else exists but the connection between them. When they part, her cheeks flush with a mix of delight and bashfulness; she can't believe she just did that, but she's also thrilled by the spark she felt. Turning her head slightly, she catches Andralyn's eye and her blush deepens. She knows her friend has a flirtatious nature, and a part of her feels a little self-conscious to have displayed such public affection in front of Andralyn like this. At the same time, she can't deny that being the center of attention, even for just a moment, gives her a thrill. Still sitting on Gael's lap, she decides to keep the momentum going. "Your turn," she says as she runs her finger from his forehead down to the tip of his nose with a little 'boop', looking at Gael while trying to suppress a nervous giggle. "Truth or Dare?" She's aware of the weight of the moment, the electricity in the air, and yet, she feels as if she's on the verge of something new and exciting with the three of them. Her eyes lock onto his, and she can't help but wonder what he will choose.

Andralyn laughed and hit Gael's thigh playfully "well your already in my bed" she says teasingly, grabbing the joint from him after he about choked himself. Rolling her eyes, she takes a hit of the joint, holding it in as she spoke "I'll never stop, it's too much fun" she says as she blows the smoking out. Looking to Petal, she smiles as the girl spoke, she was such a sweet girl, Andralyn wondered how they became friends sometimes. Adjusting herself so that she was sitting with her legs stretched out across Gael's lap, she leaned back on one arm, taking another long drag of the joint. Her head tilted back and she held the smoke in as long as she could, before bringing her head back up and blowing it. The weed was starting to hit just slightly, giving her a more relaxed demeanor, as she leaded up to pass the joint over to Petal. "Oooooo secrets! Spill them!" she exclaims with a laugh, a bit of coughing as she pull out the rest of the smoke, she didn't realize she still hand in her lungs. Andralyn always seemed to feel the most comfortable about these two, they were probably her closes friends, and the only ones to really see a side of her that most people never truly get to see of her. Andralyn reached out and grabbed Petal's hand, pulling at her to get back on the bed, "We don't gotta be in a perfect circle" she comments with a giggle. Turning back to Gael as he spoke, her smile widened at the mention of truth or dare. "Hell ya! Lets play! No holding back!" she says excited to see where this could take them, they were all already very flirtatious with each other whether they meant to be or not, it was honestly just how they were, maybe they all were a little to comfortable around each other. Andralyn still relaxed back with her legs stretched out, she looked back at Petal "Alright girly, Truth or Dare?" she questions her. She was ready to get the game started.

He would say to James “Where should I put these 2 boxes? I don't have anything yet really. I was kind of rushed away when my pa didn’t get back from the gulf. I have a backpack and these 2 boxes.” If you look or listen the boxes kind of move or sound like there is something alive in them. Also if they look at his pocket it is kind of moving by it’s self. As he walks in the building he would see all the lights and things and say “Wow, I have never seen a real casino before just the dirty basements my pa and his co-workers played poker in there are so many lights.” Then James would yell to everyone to come meet him. First to come up and meet was a very young look girl who introduced herself as Octavia and Leroy would say in a very southern accent to where it was almost hard to understand. “Howdy ma’am, my name is Leroy. Ça va? I mean sorry how are ya doing.” After talking to Octavia another older lady, but still in her older teens Leroy would guess, would walk up and introduce herself as Andralyn and introduce himself in a similar manor and as a young man would walk up and introduce himself and ask how Leroy was doing he would instinctively answer “ca va bien, I’m a bit confused but “quelqu'un parle français ou cajun?” And he would wait for a response.

Asher had said what she had said. She had never been one to take back her words or apologize when her delivery had been successful. She could see it in Evelyn's eyes that she had made her feel inferior. A better person would have felt bad and tried to mend the situation, but Asher disagreed with that approach. She had not started this whole exchange but she was damned if she was going to let it go without adding her own two-bits. Plus, there was something about Evelyn's ways, how she had wrapped herself around Theo in a manner as though to claim him that had disgust her. It was vulgar. As Theo attempted to make a joke, Asher turned to look at him and shot him a look that clearly said he was walking on thin ice. Had he chosen to do absolutely nothing, everything else that happened afterwards would have played out in a more civilized manner. Evelyn spoke then and Asher had to admit she was surprised she had it in her considering she could barely keep up with this conversation. She didn't quite expect that remark but she didn't add to it. She looked at Theo and while a part of her wanted to let him know that she did not think of him as a charity case, she didn't have time to react. She wasn't looking at Evelyn so perhaps in a perfect world Asher would have liked to imagine she would have stopped her hand before it came into contact with her face. Asher wasn't going to lie, it stung, and she placed her cold hand over her cheek to ease some of the soreness. She looked at Evelyn then and if Asher had allowed herself to do what she wanted to do, there would have been a lot of spells coming from her person, but that slap had been the final straw. If Evelyn wanted Theo that bad, she could have him. "If you are that desperate, have him. I'm done with this conversation. If you want to fight me do so in a manner that conveys respect. Not in a bitch slap demeanor that you seem so fond of."

Dustin couldn't help but watch his brother at the moment. Everything that was happening for a reason, and he knew that this was going to be on him to lead his brothers and sisters to this war. He sighed heavily and turned around putting his back to his brother, not in a disrespectful way but in a way that meant that he was more worried about it. He was worried about everything and everyone. He turned back to Liam and sighed when Liam told him that there, they were family, and they would be facing the situation together. Because they had done so before. He unclenched his jaw a little. His brother had a point and that was something. He was also worried though, and that wasn't something that he was going to be able to stop. Dustin went to the ground in a heap. His legs out in front of him and his arms behind him holding him up all the way. Laim went on to tell him that they were a team and that he and Benji and the others were going to be behind him. He gripped the ground; he knew that his brother was right. The confidence in his voice carried. Even leaders needed this sometimes. He felt something wet coming from his eyes before the next voice saying his name brought him over to glanced at Benji. He had been there too? Crap and he was showing his weakness. He didn't want his other brother seeing this. But honestly there was a lot going on and he wanted Benji there too. He stays quiet listening to his other brother. The tears were soon falling freely from his eyes. "Fuck guys." he said as he brought up an arm to whip away the sweat and tears on his face. "It's good to have you all here with me." he muttered, still hiding his face from the two standing there. He was worried that they would bash him for crying on them.

From his spot, Benji watched the emotional interaction between Dustin and Liam with a pang of sympathy and understanding. He rarely felt any emotional attachments but for his brothers there was always an exception. He had always felt he had been the more observant of the three, often choosing to stay silent and analyze situations rather than jump headfirst into them like Liam or carry the weight of leadership like Dustin. The raw intensity in Dustin's voice, combined with the uncertainty in Liam's, tugged at Benji's heartstrings. He felt the gravity of the looming war, the impending danger, and the pressure they all bore. But more than anything, he felt for Dustin, the burden of being the leader of a cabin in such a crucial time. After taking a deep breath to gather his thoughts, Benji approached the two. "Dustin," he began, his voice firm, "I've seen you handle things that would break others. This? This war? It's not something any of us asked for, but we'll face it. Together." He paused, letting his words sink in. "You said you can't lose any of us, but remember this - we can't lose you either." He glanced at Liam, nodding subtly, indicating they were of the same mind. "We're your brothers. Not just by blood, but by bond. Lean on us, just as we lean on you." With those words, Benji hoped to instill a bit of strength and hope back into Dustin, reminding him that unity was their biggest asset in the face of adversity.

Mila, being the child of truth and justice could easily ask a truth question and tell whether it is true or not, that would be fun to see whether anyone her tells the truth if they ever chose that. Dare for her was a hard thing as she had to think of weird or difficult stuff to do for the victims who chose it. She had a thought formed in mind when she saw how close and almost too close Petal and Gael interacted to the point that they might be doing something pretty private. She giggled, as much a matchmaker as she was, she’d like to see how strong their relationship was. "Okay good, well your dare is…….to carry Petal around the cabins, blindfolded, with Petal guiding your direction, and back here…… Oh sis, sorry gonna need that blindfold of yours again. " She quickly slip back the blindfold that she threw back to her sister earlier and handed over to Gael. This should test their chemistry and help towards one another. She could say she had bit of the Aphrodite’s charm from just now to be able to think of some dare like this. Beaming she was excited to see how it will turn out.

Gael watched as the others began to call out truth or dare to each other and he was pretty glad that he hasn't been called out, he wasn't sure if he would do anything like that. Without thinking much, he sat himself behind Petal, stretching his legs around her, lightly pulling her back to his chest. He didn't know what she was going to do but he felt like having a little fun. Besides the remark that she had made, made him think that she was a little salty about something that was said. Was it about how Alyssa said he was cute. He couldn't help but smirk about the thought. Maybe she did have some kind of feeling about it. Wouldn't it be fun if he could play those out of her. He glanced from around her and looked out into the rest of the group while he placed his fingers through her hair for a moment. It was soft. Uh. He blinked and looked back at the colorful hair in his hand and pulled it lightly enough to bring her ear to his mouth. "I think know a secret." he muttered in her ear before he moved her head up, still running his fingers through her hair.

Mila was looking around wondering what the game was about and how it was running along as she didn’t think she had played this kind of game before….or was it because the mood around her was a little bit weird? She could feel the tension between some, and some were enjoying them in a unique way she could tell. She turned towards her sister when she asked her what she would choose. "Ummm let’s see…..how about dare?” She thought it was a it more fun doing a dare than the truth, well since she was already used to the truth being a Nemesis child. So why not just let herself out and open in some weird stuff tonight?

"Indeed!" Emberlynn nodded eagerly. She was honestly grateful for Petal's quick decision making. That was always something she had struggled with herself. Between her impossible desire to please everyone and her frequent flights of creative fancy, making a decision was more terrifying than a Hydra. Not that she'd ever had to battle a Hydra, thankfully. Aside from her tragically low self-image, indecisiveness was perhaps her greatest weakness. One that could easily derail a fun party too... but it seemed she wouldn't have to worry about that tonight. It was wonderful to see that her sisters were just as excited to get to know each other as she was. Ember grabbed a lemon-flavored cupcake with shimmering purple icing from the table, taking a huge bite. Auntie A had made similar sweets for her twelfth birthday party... back before her whole world had been upended. Maybe one day she could take her sisters to visit the bakery if such a gathering wouldn't attract too many monsters. She sat down in front of Hailey, who had already gone to grab the face-painting kits. "Excellent plan, Petal!" She beamed, tucking her legs back behind her and her rainbow hair back behind her ears. Then she pointed at her exposed face. "So you're an artist, then?" She looked up at Hailey, eyes sparkling with anticipation. "In that case, I'm ecstatic to provide you a canvas! That is if Petal doesn't mind me taking the first turn." She motioned for the Petal to join them. "I could do yours next, if you'd like? Though it might not be as good. I'm sure our elder sister has much to teach us!"

Upcoming Delays As many of you know, ShadowsOverScotland and Lilythe will be getting married on July 28th. DUDEITSBRITT will be in attendance at the wedding. Since we've had a staff member step down recently, that means that there will only be one staff member around to monitor the site for the bulk of the day. We ask that you be understanding during this time. What does that mean? It means that many of the tasks around here that require staff will take a bit longer than normal. Applications require 2 staff members. We don't have 2 staff members... Applications likely will not be reviewed between July 22nd and August 1st. Please be patient with us! Since the remaining staff member is a Moderater and not Admin or Global Mod, they don't have access to the ACP... So sorting member groups, awards, and drachmae distribution will be on hold after July 22nd until DUDEITSBRITT is back in the states. Really, all we're asking is that you please be patient. Lilythe and ShadowsOverScotland deserve to have a relaxing wedding with their friend DUDEITSBRITT in attendance without the site going to chaos. We will be back to everything as scheduled as soon as we can be. We appreciate your patience in this matter.

The Demeter child loved the energy Finley was giving him. It was encouraging and thrilling all the same. The night gave him a kind of high he did not know existed, a satisfactory distraction for sure. Silvio chuckled imagining the other boy as a fish, it seemed really silly. He wondered what kind of fish Miro took the form of. He burst out laughing now trying to imagine Miro butt naked walking the streets of New York. He was really mused by the story and was definitely enjoying himself, perhaps socializing with others was not as bad as he thought. Or perhaps it was the adrenaline rush still pumping in his blood. Silvio let out another laugh now trying to imagine Miro in a barbie dress. "Yes I am very satisfied," he replied grinning while unwittingly biting his lower lip, though he immediately stopped that once he noticed he was doing it. 'What the hell was that?' he thought. He looked again at Miro, admiring the boy's features as he asked Alyssa for truth or dare. He then sneaked a glance over at Finley, admiring his features this time, and thought about the kiss they shared earlier. A thought came to mind, he wanted to try out something after all of this was over. @ Finley Walker @ Miroslaw Mihailov

Tempest was late, not that she cared. In her self centered mind events only started when she showed up anyways. Not that she figured anyone in the game was waiting for her, she was a polarizing figure at best. This didn't bother her as there were only a few campers here that she even bothered to care about. And from the looks of it most of them weren't here anyways. She gave Miro a nasty look as she sat down, choosing to sit as far away from the Aphrodite camper as possible. She'd heard about his recent drama, those kids always believing in true love....gross. Just another reason she disliked his cabin. Nothing but air heads in her opinion. She did notice the effect Gael's recent appearance had on the two girls; Petal and Sage. Hmmmm, perhaps there was something there she could stir up later. Causing trouble here would certainly make for an interesting evening.

Fin sat back as he watched Henry do his dare which he could not help but smirk the entire time. The reaction from Liam was PRICELESS!!! He already did not like this dude so for him to now be wondering what was going on in the first place was. "Make me pay" he said back to her "I can't wait to see what you come up with babe" he laughed as that was a Drachma well spent for sure! What else would happen tonight? He had been having the time of his life and was forgetting the heart ache he had from Elena. Petal then went on with her sad story about the dog. He rubbed her hand to let her know he was there as he knew this story made her sad. Shaking his head he noticed that Silvio was asked and he chose dare. Ohhhh this should be good he thought to himself as Silvio had to pole dance. Rubbing his hands together he began to laugh hard as Silvio took off his shirt and threw it on him. "WORK IT SILVIO" he called out as he did go all out! Man Fin would pay for a show like this! This demeter camper had talent for sure. Wondering if he should pull out drachma to pay him as he came back and got his shirt. "Well done man" he said laughing. That was when Miro was asked. Fin looked to the side as he did not know how to feel about this aphrodite child, he knew it wasn't the guys fault for also loving Elena but it still hurt a lot!

SCENE from his room in Cabin 5- in the evening Liam had just finished having fun with Novalie, you know what I mean. He had showered off so he was in a towel in his room when an Iris message came in, Who in the world would be messaging him this late at night. Was one of his siblings in need of help. He of course accepted the call when Henry came into view. Confused he listened and watched as she called him BABY and said the grosses things to him. Standing there in only a towel around his waist made him feel exposed. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? Are you DRUNK HENRY" he called out but the message ended. Standing there he was dazed and confused what in Tartarus just happened! End scene from cabin 5

Was Katie giving Loukas the side eye when she arrived???? Shaking her head she watched as more and more joined the group. But it wasn't until her sister told Loukas he was up first did her face break into a smirk. What would Henry have him do? The blush was soft at first but then her whole face went red when the task was revealed. LOUKAS SKINNY DIPPING????? Would he do it thou. Looking to him he ended up agreeing which only made her blush harder. Part of her wanted to go over to Katie and cover her eyes as she was so young plus it was her boyfriend!! Seeing his white butt she giggled a little as he jumped in. That was when Alyssa and Silvio joined in the group. Raising an eyebrow at the brownies she shrugged and took one. "I will go next Henry....I chose Truth" she said with a smile. @ Henrietta Abbot

Alyssa had been on a walk when she saw a group of campers. Curious, she wandered quietly over that way so as not to disturb them, in case she wasn't meant to join or overhear. As she got closer, however, it seemed to be a bit of an impromptu game of truth or dare. Stepping out from the bushes, she grinned impishly. "Truth or Dare? Count me in!" She said and popped a seat near the fire. She could just about make out the faces of most of the campers. As the game began, she listened to the exchanges between Miro and Henry, two campers she hadn't really gotten to know much about yet. And of course Loukas and Sage could be seen together. Those two were practically inseparable. She hadn't really noticed that Finley was there, partially obscured by the fire light, until the game started. She hadn't seen him since that party in the forest a few weeks ago. Before long, Henry dared Loukas to plunge himself in the lake. Thankfully she clarified that she didn't actually want him to get fully naked, because Alyssa definitely didn't need to see that level of pale in the moonlight. "So...uh... what do we do until he gets back?"

Hello, I’m Sammey. I’ve been roleplaying for a couple of years now and I really enjoyed the Percy Jackson series when I was younger. I decided to get back into roleplaying and some greek mythology after having read The Song Of Achilles, it’s a really good book! This is my first character Silvio, and I believe he is already pretty charming. Hope you can give him a warm welcome to a spot in this world of yours. Don’t be shy if you want a go at roleplaying your characters with him, I’d be more than delighted. I also hope that I will fit well into this already seemingly lovely community. Thank you in advance.
