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

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.

James had been sitting with his cabin at the bonfire when one of the new campers was claimed by their mother Tyche. Smiling he was so happy to add another one under his care. It is crazy to think that he had been at camp since he was 10 years old. Meaning that he was now finishing up his thirteenth year of camp. It was several years ago that he had been asked to be a cabin leader. Which he was very happy about since this place was home to him! James made it his goal to preparing the next generation of demi-gods to fight and keep each other safe. His mind wandered back to the wars he fought in alongside his friends. But shaking his head he turned around as he was leading @ Leroy Bernard to his new cabin. "Right this way Leroy" the cabin looked like a mini las vegas building. Opening the door he saw the casino part in the front as he turned to see what Leroy would think of this. "HEYYYY EVERYONE, COME OUT TO WELCOME OUR NEW BROTHER!" @ Octavia Davis @ Andralyn O'Dell @ Park Shi Jin

Maddox had been following his brother to the other cabin. They weren't allowed to go to the party but there was a sleep over happening which he thought was odd, but his brother had been pulling him to it. So they had gotten their stuff ready and headed over to the place. He sighed a little when his brother had asked him if he had ever meet someone that was from the cabin that they were going to. Hypnos? He didn't think that he had met someone in that cabin. "No, why?" he question. Now curious to meet the campers that were part of the cabin. He didn't know what he was going to do, but he had promised his older brothers that he would play nice about everything. They walked into the cabin and Maddox couldn't help but look around the place. It was different from what he been living in the last little bit. He turned his head when he heard his brother say hey to someone by the name of Savanna. He looked at the girl in question and raised an eyebrow. Was she part of the cabin. He was just about to ask his brother when he heard him say that he was going to go over there. He turned his head to see that he was going to the boys and that was all that mattered to him at the moment. He was going to meet more people from the camp. Once he got to the boys he waved at him. Again playing nice to them. "Hey."

It had been a day like no other. It was different though; something was in the air. Something, different. There hadn't been anything get into the camp in a while that they had to fight off and of course capture the flag was already over for a while. Now there was nothing really to do. So, he was stuck in the Hermes cabin bored out of his mind. He had been laying on the couch with his arm around his face when one of his siblings had come up to him and poked him. He swatted at them and the laughed a little telling him that they had something to tell him and if he didn't want to hear it that was fine. Curious about what was going to be said he sat up on the couch and patted the seat. He only was this way with some people. He couldn't help himself. Especially when he was with his sisters and brothers. They began telling them that they had ran into a girl that asked her to tell Geal to meet in the Tyche cabin. Gael was a little confused at the moment as he couldn't really remember what who was there. He rolled his eyes until the girl said red. Then he knew and smirked at her. He jumped up from the couch and headed over to his bed, pulling out a baggy from his pillowcase before stuffing it in his pocket and raced out the door. He raced out of the cabin before he Lilythe could catch him, like normal and headed to the Tyche cabin. He knew that he had to be slick about it. Their cabin leader was James, and he didn't really want to get on his bad side at the moment. Especially when he was going to get high with his sister. He bit his lip a little as he pushed the door to the cabin open. Lucky for him there was no one around the common area. He rushed over to the bedroom where Andralyn stayed and knocked on the door before he walked in. "Sup." he smirked as he turned around and closed the door before he turned back around, pulling the baggy out of his pocket. "So, I hear you needed this tonight." he mused with a smirk on his face. He enjoyed people when they enjoyed something that he liked to do. "Are we the only ones here?" He asked curious if her brothers and sisters were going to be busting through the door anytime.

Krystal was pretty excited for the party. She wasn't always big on partying, but with the way this year has been, getting to let go and have some fun was exactly what she needed. Even better she will have a date to bring with her to the party. Whether he liked it or not, he wouldn't deny her the joys of going out having some fun. Krystal had been busy with her little brother Axel most of the day, trying to help him with being more involved with his peers. As the day wined down, she could already hear Aislynn coming over the speakers, playing her guitar and getting things started. Heading back to her own cabin, she changed out of her work outfit, and into this cute outfit she found when her and Mckayla were out shopping (outfit). Once she was changed, she headed for the Ares cabin. Arriving at her boyfriend's cabin, she swung the door open "Oh Dusty!" she hollered out with a bright smile, as she walked in and headed for his room. Stepping into his room, finding him dressed in just a pair of shorts, she came up behind him and wrapped her arms around him "Hey sexy, getting ready to come with me to Aislynn's party tonight?" she questioned him with a hint of playfulness. Letting him go and walking around to be in front of him, she giggled "you could just go without a shirt" she winked. ~ Krystal and Dustin showed up to the party, hand in hand. They walked into the Dionysus cabin, and Krystal found the drinks, seeing that there was a bowl of liquid, she could only assume it was something that either Ash or one of her siblings threw together. It looked good but she wasn't sure if it was a great idea to drink something those drinkers threw together, looking to Dustin she giggled and with a smiled said "I'll try some if you do Babe".

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's arm wraps around her waist and his fingers lightly caress her thigh, Petal feels an unexpected sense of comfort settling in. The weed's effect is now fully manifest, calming her nerves and heightening her senses, making her more attuned to the warmth radiating from Gael. She glances at Andralyn and notices her flushed cheeks, a rare sight that brings a triumphant smile to Petal's lips. For the first time she feels like she's cracked some code, unraveling a small piece of the puzzle that can be Andralyn. Staying comfortably in Gael's lap Petal contemplates her next move. She wants to keep the momentum, to push the boundaries of this strange but exhilarating game. A daring idea takes shape in her mind, one aimed at Gael but with the secondary intention of making Andralyn blush once more. After all, isn't the point of Truth or Dare to shake things up a little? "Since it's your turn and you chose 'Dare,'" Petal starts, her voice tinged with a little mischief, "I dare you to do something to make Andralyn blush again! Trust me, it's a rare sight and I'm enjoying it." For a moment Petal holds her breath, she's both excited and nervous to see how Gael will react, and more importantly, what he'll do. But there's something empowering about her current situation, something that makes her feel bolder than she's felt in a long time. She locks eyes with Gael, the subtlest of smiles gracing her lips, as if daring him to accept her challenge.

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.

Evelyn stood there, her hand trembling where it had landed on Asher's cheek. She felt a hot rush of tears threatening to spill from her eyes, and the realization of what she had just done hit her like a ton of bricks. This wasn't how she had envisioned any of this unfolding. She had expected a confrontation, but not violence. She had never been one to resort to physical actions in her conflicts. Maybe it had been her time fighting Samantha with Ares using them like puppets. It was as if a PTSD flashback came where she hit Samantha and she recoiled backward, holding her own has away from her. Her voice wavered as she spoke, tears streaming down her cheeks, "I...I don't want Theo, Asher. I never wanted him that way. But how dare you...how dare you say I'm worthless." Her shoulders sagged as she felt a wave of vulnerability wash over her, her anger momentarily giving way to hurt. The situation had spiraled out of control, and she couldn't bear to look at Theo or Asher, not after what had just transpired. She felt exposed, humiliated, and regretful for letting her emotions get the best of her. "You think you are so high and mighty with your money you you rich bitch that you forget people are worth more than what they get paid." With that she turned with the tears flowing down her face, oh she will get revenge on that bitch if it was the last thing she does!!!!! Asher messed with the wrong person and she was going to find that out herself! -exits-

Liam's unwavering gaze remained fixed on Dustin as he spoke, his words imbued with a genuine sense of loyalty in him. Even Benji came up and seemed to feel the same, forging a connection among the brothers. The feeling of impending war hung heavily over them all, making Liam's steadfast presence beside Dustin was one he hoped showed his stance. Their blood was thick and he would never waver in his loyalty. As Benji spoke, it only fueled him more for how he felt about his brothers. Dustin's vulnerability lay exposed for all to see, evoking a surge of compassion within Liam. Throughout their shared history, it had often fallen on Dustin's shoulders to bear the heaviest burdens, and this moment was no different. "Until the end, this life hasn't been easy for any of us and we won't let it beat us down without a fucking fight" his face was stone straight but then grew a smirk "We Ares boys know a thing or two about war." This was true as it was in their blood!!!! So whatever the future held for them they would face it together. This camp had seen a lot of war before and it wasn't something that would just go away. It was as natural as something as love in this world.

Andralyn smiled brightly, she didn't just get to see Petal sit into Gael lap, oh no. Petal put on a very seductive and cute little show for the both of them. Intrigued, she sat up some from her relaxed position as she watched the girls dress flutter around and cling to Petals curvy body. The high was hitting, along with a rush of excitement that Petal was bringing to the bed. "Damn girl" she says, as she notices Gael's hand start to come up, but he pulls back away, giving him a side glance, she giggles slightly at him. Petal really out did herself, as she slide into his lap, Andralyn watched as Gael pulled her in and she gave him a small kiss on the cheek. Andralyn busted up laughing, probably partly the fault of the weed hitting her but also from Gael's response. But, she abruptly stopped her giggle fit when Gael grabbed Petal's chin and gave her a passionate kiss on the lips. Andralyn's eyes went wide, and small smirk danced a crossed her face, just as she was about to comment on their little kiss, Gael pulled away and winked at her. He winked at her, and for a moment Andralyn was in a slightly trace, she didn't know how to feel about that, but a huge part of her absolutely loved seeing her friends kiss, and Gael winking at her only made it that much more excitable to her. Andralyn squirmed in her spot on the bed, and bite her lip with a small rosy blush coming to her cheeks. Trying to play it off, Andralyn shook her head and laughed "Get a room you two" she comments with a bright smile, not even realizing that her rosy cheeks have already shown her true feelings toward what just transpired in her bed.

Gael smirked as Andralyn hit his thigh playfully. "Well, then what you going to do about it?" he questioned her even more playfully. He didn't care what they did, but she was being playful and so he was going to be the same way. It wasn't like they hadn't done anything before, what was another time together? He smirked and shook his head at her comment about it being too much fun. "Of course." he mused. Then of course he had to go and open up his mouth about the secret that he held. Both the girls seemed to chime in on that one and Gael couldn't help but chuckle. "Maybe you all should beat it out of me." he teased them. Not that they would beat him for the answers to his secrets. It would be funny to see happen though. Being attacked by two hot girls. Them being on top of him. Minus the hitting and what not, he wasn't really into that. Gael couldn't help but watch Petal at the moment as she began to speak about here and now. He nodded his head in agreement. He liked that idea. He wanted to be here more than the past. He didn't want to force on that at all. He however brought up the game and Andralyn had looked over at Petal and asked her truth or dare. Which by the point, Gael was already feeling pretty good and relaxed. When Petal said dare, it made him sit up a little in the bed. He was shocked that she would pick that, what made her want to do that? He glanced over to Andralyn waiting to see what she said. Then the dare came, and Gael's eyes widened. He glanced over at Petal once more and smirked. He wouldn't mind having Petal on his lap. But then he got more than that. A show, her hips moved around, and Gael couldn't help but have his eyes move to them. There was no way this was happening right now. He went to reach out to her but pulled his hand in and gripped the sheets below him. He was going to be good. When she was finally done, she looked over at him and sat herself in his lap. He moved his hand around her pulling her back to him, a smirk plastered on his face. Her eyes soon found his and he tilted his head. He went to open his mouth and ask what she was talking about when she ended up kissing his cheek. He blinked in surprise as he didn't know why she had done that but that wasn't going to end there. "Oh no you don't" he said as he lifted his hand to her face and brought her head down to his. "If you're going to kiss me at least do it right." he smirked playfully as he brought his lips to hers, in a hot kiss. He pulled away a couple of second later and smirked at Petal but looked over to Andralyn and winked at her.

Petal felt her heart skip a beat; she had harbored a secret crush on Gael and the dare suddenly felt like a high-stakes theater. "Well, a dare's a dare, but I'm going to need some courage first," she said aloud, covering her nervousness with a laugh as she locked eyes with Gael, giving him a hint of what was to come. Taking the joint from Andralyn she took a hit letting the drug ease her nerves. With a confident, if slightly shaky smile, Petal rose from her seat. She took a deep breath to steady herself before launching into a sultry dance. Her arms swayed fluidly above her head as her hips circled in a rhythmic motion. As she twirled her eyes flirtatiously met each person's gaze but lingered on Gael, subtly communicating her hidden feelings. Then, with a graceful pivot, she transitioned into a sultry body roll, her silhouette a captivating display of allure as Petal's cheeks flushed from the performance and the underlying emotional stakes. She turned toward Gael and said, "I hope you're ready for some company." With that, she eased herself onto his lap, making sure her movements were as graceful as her dance had been. As she settled in, her eyes met Gael's, and for a brief moment, all the tension and nervousness dissipated, replaced by an exhilarating blend of embarrassment, daring, and a secret delight. Feeling a newfound surge of boldness from her dance and the weed, Petal looked at Gael and said, "I hope this isn't too forward." Before he could respond, she leaned in and planted a quick, but meaningful, kiss on his cheek.

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.

Gael's eyebrows rose playfully at Andralyn as she stuck her tongue out at him. "Careful there. I might just take that as an invite." he mused with a smirk. He had always thought of her as a go to girl, she was pretty in her own right. One of the hot ones in the camp if of course you didn't count those Aphrodite girls. Those girls would be the death of him. They knew how to have fun and Gael was all about that. His eyes found Andralyn's when she told them that she was going to be grounded. He made a face and rolled his eyes. "Listen here, you gotta stop doing your shit." he chuckled a little and shook his head watching her as she grabbed the joint from his hand. He smirked when she said it was the best and he turned to see what Petal was going to do. Of course, she took it. Petal was another one that he could see him having fun with. He liked her attitude with everything. She seemed chill. He liked that about people. He took the joint from Petal as she passed it back to him and he brought it to his lips for a second holding it there so he could move up a little in the bed. He took a drag and held it in before talking in a stranded voice. "I honestly wonder. Where I picked up both up at." he said as he blew out the smoke. He took another puff, holding it in longer before handing it off to Andralyn with a smile. His eyes turned to Petal as she says something about being grounded was the perfect opportunity for inner exploration. He went to laugh, forgetting that he still had the smoke in his lungs and started coughing, waving his hand in front of his face while trying to get himself breathing better again. He returned her gaze she had given him and sent her a wink. He was starting to feel a little better, more relaxed, mellow. He was enjoying himself with two hot girls. He was living the dream. Well so he thought. His gaze never leaving Petal in the moment since she was the one that was talking. "What kind of burning questions are you looking for there Petal." he mused as his eyes hooded a little. "I have secrets but none I'm willing to confess to the two of you." he told him playfully. He had no idea what they would want to bring out of him, but if they asked and done the right things maybe. "Better yet." he said as he glanced over to Andralyn. "Truth or dare Red." he questions her as he laid his hands on his belly.

Petal giggled at Andralyn's playful smoke gesture, her redheaded friend was always a swirl of rebellion and playfullness. She took the offered joint gracefully, a painter accepting a precious brush. "Thanks," she winked at Andralyn before taking a thoughtful drag. The sensation was an immediate wash of warmth and relaxation that fit her current energetic, yet mischievous mood perfectly. "Mmm, that's a masterpiece," she nodded to Gael, appreciating the quality. As she passed the joint back to Gael, she couldn't help but revel in the sense of camaraderie that filled the room. It was a welcome break from the usual demigod chaos—no monsters to fight, no gods to appease. Just a pure, human moment. "Honestly you guys are like the best part of my day, seriously," she grinned, her tone flirtatious but genuine. She leaned in slightly towards the duo, her head slightly tilted. "Being grounded sounds like the perfect opportunity for some inner exploration, doesn't it?" she said, directing the comment at Andralyn but letting her gaze flirt across to Gael as well. She moved and settled back into a comfy seat facing her two friends, legs still crossed. Her eyes flitted between Andralyn and Gael, eager to see where this night would lead. "So, now that we're all here, what shall we talk about? Any burning questions or secret confessions?" she asked, her voice playful. She was ready for whatever the universe had in store for them tonight.

Andralyn laughed and stuck her tongue out playful at Gael to his comment. Soon he was on her bed making himself comfy, she's always like the idea of Gael in her bed, he was one of the better-looking guys at camp in her opinion. She watched as he started to get a joint ready, when her attention was pulled to the door, the bubbly colorful Iris girl appeared, her cheerful self was such a contrast to Andralyn but she liked it. Soon all three of them were on Andralyn's bed, she rolled her eyes about being in trouble "This will be the last time I get high for awhile, I'm going to be grounded" she said in an exasperated tone. "I am glad you both could make it thought, you all are pretty much my only friends" she chuckles "putting up with my antics" she continued as she scooted herself closer to Gael when he beckoned them both closer. He lit the joint taking in a long drag, holding it, she smiled at Petal, excited for what the night bring the three of them. When Gael released the smoke, it hit Andralyn's nose as she took in the smell, she could tell it was the good shit before he even said otherwise. He held the joint out and Andralyn reached for it, putting it to her lips she giggled "let the night began" taking in a long drag herself, she held it in her lungs. Turning to Petal she blew the smoke into her face playfully with a laugh, handing her the joint. "The fucking best" she said looking back to Gael.

Gael couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and tilt his head. "You in trouble. No?" he smirked as she sighed a little. This was red they were talking about here. He laughed when she told him that she had invited Petal as well. He shrugged. "Don't bother me not one bit." he told her honestly. When she patted the bed, he kicked off his shoes, pulling his wallet from his pants, dropping it to the floor next to them and walked over to the bed. He smirked and went all the way in it because he wanted to. "Trying to get comfy you know." he smirked as he began to open the baggy that was in his hand. He was going to be star getting things ready for the three of them. "Think that she'll come?" he questioned as he pulled the grinder out. He glanced up at Red for a moment when the door opened. His eyebrow ticked a little as he turned to look at Petal as she walked through the door. The colorful girl finally started talking and he couldn't help but smirk. It had been a little while since they all had been around each other. He enjoyed it very much. It did help his case when the two girls that were in the room and on the bed with him at this moment were pretty good looking. In their own right. A smirk came to his lips as he places the weed on the paper before he started rolling it. "Well Red didn't ask, I just brought it thinking that since she's in trouble." He said glancing at her for a moment. "This would be better than anything." he moved up against the headboard, moving to his side to grab the lighter from his pocket. He glanced up at the girls once more and pointed his finger in a come her motion, telling them to get closer to him. He wouldn't bite. Well, not hard. He would promise nothing. He put the joint between his lips and brought the lighter up, lighting it with ease. He took a in a deep breath, holding the smoke in his lungs for a moment before letting it come out slowly. He hummed a little as he held it out to the next person that would take it. Because if he was being honest with himself. These were two of the best girls in the camp. They weren't afraid of doing whatever. "It's the good stuff." He chuckled looking at the two back and forth.

Petal was buzzing with energy from the morning sun salutations she'd joined at the edge of the strawberry fields. The yoga session had been an impromptu gathering, filled with happy faces and limber bodies gracefully moving in the golden light. Afterwards she'd headed back to the Iris cabin, where she found a note with her name. "Meet us at Tyche's cabin. Something fun's brewing! –Red," it read. Petal felt a thrill run through her. With her signature colorful dress swaying around her knees, she bounced her way to the Tyche cabin, feeling a sense of anticipatory excitement. As she reached the Tyche cabin, her instincts told her something unconventional was afoot. Sliding into the cabin like a sunbeam through a cracked window, she knocked lightly on the doorframe of Andralyn's room. "Hey lovelies, I heard the universe singing and it sounded a lot like you two," she beamed, her eyes twinkling at the sight of Gael and Andralyn. Her gaze flitted to the bag in Gael's hand and her eyes lit up. "Oh, are we having a communal journey of the mind tonight?" she teased. Petal gracefully sank onto the mattress next to the two other demigods, crossing her legs and leaning forward with an almost flirtatious air. "So, what's the occasion?" she asked, her voice tinged with genuine curiosity and a playfulness.

Andralyn had a long day, and her luck was probably the worst luck in the world at the moment. She was cursing under her breath walking back to her cabin that night, she had lost a game which costed her something that wasn't even hers. Worst of all, it was James, of all peoples stuff. She didn't tell them that it was up for grabs but they just decided that it was what they wanted, and she couldn't get out of it. So now she was trying to figure out how she was going to get out of this, James already was aggravated with her. That's when she noticed another girl walking around and she realized it was one of Gaels sisters, and she had the perfect idea. Grabbing her attention she told the girl to tell her brother that Red wanted him. She needed something to relax and get her mind off all the crazy stuff of the day, and she knew someone else that would love to come hang out too, so taking a detour Andralyn ran by the Iris cabin, but Petal wasn't back from her days activities, so she left a message with one of her siblings and headed back to her Cabin. As she walked into the Cabin it was quite, looking around she was surprised to find her cabin was empty, which was strange but she wasn't going to complain. It just made it even better so she didn't have to worry about James or any other siblings walking it at all. Running to her room, she changed into some comfy sweat pants and a black tank top. She had just plotted onto her bed to wait, when a knock sounded at her door, and then the familiar face walked in. Sitting up with a smile as he holds up the bag, a huge smile comes across her face "yes! I'm in so much trouble!" she exclaims sighing. "I invited Petal too, I knew she'd be down to smoke too! Hope your good with that?" she questions, as she pats the bed for him to come sit down next to her.

Andralyn's cheeks were as red as the hair on her head at this point. She couldn't believe what was happening, as he pulled her onto his lap. Adjusting herself into his lap, she could feel his member push against her as she let her full weight relax into his lap. Wrapping her arms around his neck, just as he grabbed her hair. Letting a small moan escape her lips, a smirk showed across her face. Feeling his breath against her neck as he spoke, chills ran through her body, she wasn't scared, no she was excited, feeling something tingle between her legs. She's never felt this way before, but she is already enticed by how she was feeling, how he was making her feel. This boy who just randomly showed up, made a bet with her, and now here she was, she didn't even know his name. 'It means, that I can take whatever you have' The sound of his voice, the words he spoke, had Andralyn in a trance. She liked the idea of this boy taking whatever he wanted from her, it was a new very intriguing feeling, that made her head spin. The rush of feelings she was experiencing at this moment was overwhelming her, and in a small gasp, her voice barely audible "I'm willing to give you everything" she answers without a hint of doubt in her voice. She was lost in lust that she never knew was there. Biting her lip, she wrapped her legs around him trying to pull closer to his body.

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.

Octavia had ended up missing the bon fire because she wasn't feeling the best. But that was besides that point. The nine-year-old girl was bouncing around the area like a wild cat. Sickness be dang. She wasn't going to let it get the better of her at this point. She was at the moment jumping on her bed when James walked through the cabin door with another boy. A new boy. One that she hadn't seen before. She blinked and tilted her head to the side as she jumped up and down. She glanced at the boy, giving him a once over, then James' voice boomed telling them all to come meet their new brother. Octavia couldn't help but scream in excitement. Jumping from the bed to the floor in a flash. She raced over to the two boys and smirked. Her long blonde hair all a mess due to her being wild at the moment. "Welcome to Tyche!" she greeted with a laugh. "What's your name. Mine is Octavia." She told him with a bright smile. She glanced over to James for a moment and giggled. She was excited to have a new member of her family. Although she was still the youngest it seemed.

Emberlynn tried her hardest to keep her face still, though the combination of ADHD and excitement made that an exceedingly difficult task. While her cheeks remained relatively still, her eyes lit up at Petal's response. "Oh, that's wonderful! I know exactly what you mean... it must be impossible to go through life without a soundtrack ringing in one's mind! Playing, you say? Which instruments do you play? I took piano lessons as a child, though I was admittedly rubbish at it. Too much "Sit still, Emberlynn! You quit that playing around!" She did her best shrill piano teacher impression. For a moment her hands forgot their mission to keep still and made stiff, jerking motions to accompany her words. She nearly knocked the paintbrush from Hailey's hand. "My apologies..." Ember quickly folded her hands back into her lap. "I get a bit... carried away at times." Thankfully the rainbow paint across her face served to hide a bit of her embarrassment. "Anyways, I'd be delighted if you'd play for me sometime!" Her mind flitted to the notebook under her mattress, filled with half-finished poems and lyrics. The teen had a million ideas but a frustrating inability to see any of them through. Perhaps her sister could help turn a few into completed projects? "Have you composed any songs of your own?" She asked hopefully. They continued the cheerful chatter about music until Haley was finished with her creation. Ember stood and produced a small compact mirror from her skirt pocket. A gasp escaped her lips. "It's beautiful! Thank you, dear sister!" She offered Hailey a hug before taking over to start on Petal's facepaint. Doing her best to incorporate the newfound knowledge she'd gained about her sister, she began to paint a colorful swirl of music notes on her cheek. "I must say, it brings me immense joy to finally have some cabin-mates! You two have to tell me all about camp so far. Monsters, adventures, crushes... tell me everything!"

She hated being the laughing stalk of the whole camp. And all thanks to Liam who honestly couldn't keep his dick in his pants. She huffed out loud as she walked past a couple of people that were talking about the kiss that Sage had been spreading around the camp. Of course, it was her that done it. And THANK YOU DUSTIN!!! For pairing her up with Herny in their practice. She hated her life at the moment. She was raving at the moment. Still dressed in her yoga pants and sports bar, showing off her toned body. She wanted to curse Liam, she wanted everything he ever loved to burn in front of him. She would be like that character in her favorite comic. Harley Quinn. She would be laughing like a crazy psycho with no cares in the world. But she couldn't be like that because she had that good girl... fuck being the good girl. Who said that all Aphrodite children had to be this good person. She could have her dark side, and this... oh this was thanks to Mr. Liam Santos. He could thank the gods that she wasn't as powerful as he was. He should be glad that she was part of the weaker campers. She growled a little as she walked past more campers who watched her with pity in their eyes. She walked to the training arena. Wanting a workout without anyone around, but the roar that came from there let her know really fast that she wasn't going to be alone. Oh no, she was going to be right with the person that she didn't want to see at the moment. She stopped and watched him for a moment before she marched down the hill till, she found a spot to stand. One that made her just a little taller than him for a moment. "Oh, angry, are we?" she called out to him in a tone that said that she could really careless about his feelings.

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.

Andralyn was excited, she couldn't believe what was going on, or what will ultimately come from this. Her heart was racing, these were her two best friends and now they were about to cross a line. She just wanted to get high and hang out with them, but it seems that all of them had alterative motives. Of course, Gael and her have already crossed that line, but they could still be great friend, as far as Petal though, her and Andralyn have kissed before. Andralyn's mind was racing even with her body relaxed with a spike of lust flowing through her veins. As she tried to short things out, her hands squeezed a little harder, digging her nails into Petal's thighs. Andralyn caught herself staring at Gael watching him run his hands down the back of Petal's thighs. Her eyes began to roam when Gael mentioned pulling the girls dress up. Andralyn's eyes went from her hands at Petal's thighs up her body until she was met with the beautiful bright-eyed girl staring back up at her. Immediately Andralyn's face turned just as red as her hair all over again, but she fought back the shy feeling, biting her lip as she kept eye contact with Petal, she began to slide her hands from the girl's thighs up to the hem of her dress. Andralyn very slowly began to pull the dress up Peta's thighs, inch by tantalizing inch, for her and for Gael. Just as the hem of the dress got to a point of no return, she smirked at Petal "Oh yes, sweety! We will take great care of you" she repeats in a seductive lust filled voice. Losing eye contact, because well of course Andralyn wants to see too, she pulls the dress up past the Petal's hips, a smirk dances across her face ever so slightly mischievous, as she makes eye contact with Gael and winks. Without warning Andralyn pulls the dress up and over Petal's face, revealing every part of the beautiful girl's pale body, releasing the dress letting it lay over her face. Andralyn puts her hands on the Petal's cheeks, leans down and gives her a small teasing peck on the lips through her dress. "Such a beautiful site, if only you could see it" she whispered her voice laced with a mischievous, playful tone. Taking her hands from Petal's cheeks, she ran them down to her breast, small and perky, they were a beautiful round shape that fit into Andralyn's hands perfectly as she grabbed on to them, kneading the breast as she pinched and played with her hard nipples. Looking to Gael, her own tension building, she could feel her heat become wet, she loved the position she was in, getting to see what Gael will do to Petal. It was an interesting but very enticing situation that the three of them have put themselves into and Andralyn was ready for the ride.

Amy smiled while trying to understand what Julia was saying. Julia is an interesting person. Amy thinks to herself. She had yet to meet any of Hecate's children. She barely knew what they could do and was afraid to try and interact with them. Pretty much all the campers except 2 people and now Julia were terrifying to her. Once she heard swimming as an option she replied, "I can swim. My step-grandfather taught me. I didn't bring a swimsuit though." She hoped Julia would come up with a solution for it and hoped it didn't mean swimming in her clothes.

The boldness of Novalie's laughter echoed in the stillness of the night, accompanying her words which caught Benji off guard. Sure, he had expected some sort of retaliation but her holding his clothes was a cheeky move he hadn’t anticipated. He blinked, his initial shock replaced with amused surprise. He watched the vibrant display of emotions on the Aphrodite child’s face, from mischief to a triumphant satisfaction. Waves lapped around Benji, conveying a slight chill to his submerged skin. But the chill was promptly swept away by a rising heat of intrigue and the faint sting of tipsy ego at her blatant challenge. He watched as her hand waved his clothing mockingly, her lips curved upwards in a teasing smile. Her laughter felt like little sparks dancing in the air, intertwined with the faint scent of Aphrodite’s magic and the heady mix of the rippling water. Despite himself, a genuine laugh escaped him. This was a game, a fascinating game and Novalie was proving to be an interesting opponent. His lips curved in a half-smile, his eyes glimmering with a new found interest. He wasn’t just going to let her make a fool out of him, was he? "Well well, Novalie… I hope you're ready to face the consequences," he led on playfully, his voice dropping an octave lower with the last word. In one fluid motion, Benji stepped forward, propelling himself from the water, his firm muscles playing under the glow of the moonlight. The water droplets played down his skin, tracing the curve of his abs, trailing further down on his absolutely stunning body. His manhood, thick and impressive, swayed lightly as he moved, graced by droplets that made it glisten, appearing like a tantalizing piece of art in the calm moonlit night. Free and bare, he stood, not shying away from revealing what nature had blessed him with. Benji's piercing eyes bore into hers, testing her reactions as he advanced towards her with confidence in his nude form. His damp hair, slightly tousled, clung to his forehead, giving him an intoxicating appearance. The silence of the night was only broken by the rhythmic sound of water dripping from his wet skin and the soft crashing of the waves. As the distance shortened, his arm reached out, certain, and determined. He held out his hand for Novalie to return his clothes, a challenge of its own etched in his actions. Testing her, he stood strong, his cocky grin becoming more pronounced. He stared down at her, a smirk playing on his lips, “I do believe those are mine," he said, his voice a deep rumble, "and as far as that spanking goes, I think I see someone that would be willing to give it to you."

Petal grinned as Emberlynn carefully painted a swirl of musical notes on her cheek. It felt as if her essence had been captured in those delicate strokes of paint. "Well, I mostly focus on the guitar and I can hit the keys on a piano butttttt I'm not sure I'd call it music," she responded to Emberlynn's query about instruments as she laughed softly. "And about composing... I've dabbled in songwriting. You know, a tune here and there, some incomplete lyrics scrawled in a notebook." She couldn't help but feel a warm glow inside at the idea of collaborating with her sisters on a creative project. "I'd be thrilled to work on something together, maybe turn some of your half-finished poems into songs," she suggested, her eyes twinkling at the prospect. Her attention then shifted to Hailey's mention of diving and swimming. "That sounds awesome, Hailey! If you ever need a cheering squad, count me in," she said, her words filled with genuine enthusiasm. As the topic of crushes came up, Petal felt her cheeks flush just a tad. "Well, speaking of crushes," she hesitated, her eyes slightly distant, "there's this guy, Gael, from the Phobos cabin. Dark, mysterious—kind of intriguing, you know?" She chuckled nervously. "But who knows? I'm a firm believer that things happen when they're meant to." As the conversations about talents, hobbies, and life experiences continued to flow, Petal felt a deep sense of belonging. She looked at Hailey and Emberlynn, and she realized how much she had yearned for a moment like this—a chance to be herself, to be loved for who she was, and to reciprocate that love and acceptance. She knew this was just the beginning, but it was a magical one. "I can't express how grateful I am to be here with both of you," she said softly, her voice carrying a weight of gratitude and joy.

Celeste's smirk grew wider as she reveled in the banter with Theo. She knew how to push his buttons just as well as he knew how to push hers. "Call me the princess and the Pea....I know my limits" She raised an eyebrow, challenging him further. Calling him scared would do the trick and she knew it. Theo was one to test boundaries and she didn't know if the boy even knew the world no. "Well then, partner, we'll need all your cunning for this one. The jewelry store has a new security system, and I've heard they hired a watchful guard. We'll need to be at the top of our game." Celeste couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. You know, when you find a store that gave you a bit of challenge it just made her want to prove to the store their system was weak! "I will split what we sell the jewels for 60 40" raising an eyebrow she waited to see if he would agree to try and make her do 50 50!!!! As they huddled together, plotting their next adventure. Some would know in their cabin this was bad news bears if they were plotting. They may have had their differences, but when it came to causing a bit of chaos and excitement, there was no one Celeste would rather have by her side than her partner-in-crime, Theo.

With Evelyn's fingers entwined in hers, Samantha felt an unexpected warmth rush through her, chasing away some of the chill from the dark memories that haunted her nights. "It won't be easy, but nothing worth having ever is right?" Suddenly she couldn't help but feel an unusual mischievous spark light up inside her. 'Man, this girl really is having an effect on me' Casting a teasing glance she bit her lower lip, a playful smirk forming. "You know, Evelyn," she started in a teasing tone, "as much as we could drown ourselves in serious talk and sorrows, sometimes it's best to shake things up." She allowed her fingers to lightly dance up Evelyn's forearm, making sure her touch stayed just long enough to get a reaction from the Aphrodite camper. Giggling softly Samantha leaned in, whispering so close that her breath tickled Evelyn's ear, "How about we take a break from the heavy stuff? Before Ares, before the bonfire, during capture the flag you did say you had a thing or two you could teach me. Whatever could that be?" She winked playfully, hoping that maybe by bringing some lightheartedness into their conversation it might help Evelyn feel a little bit better, maybe even bring a smile back to Evelyn's face. She took a quick glance around the arena, silently thanking Athena that it appeared to be empty for the moment.

A scoff came from him as he lifted his head off the sofa. "See," he muttered as he rolled his eyes at her not caring if he caused her to be pissy at him for doing it. "It's the reason I don't tell people, they feel 'sorry' for me." he clicked his tongue and closed his eyes shaking his dark hair into his eyes for a moment. He had cried when he was a boy about it. But he had built up walls from the whole thing by the time that he was a teenager. No one wanted the curse child that had been pulled from his mother's womb while she lied dead there. He snorted a little. He hated that she had been able to break the walls if not for just a moment. To be able to see inside of his soul. He hated that much about all of it. He shook his head a little more and ran his fingers through the front part of his hair. "Don't thank me for telling you a horror story." he told her. "That's what it is. A story about a child who's never had anything." He told her. He hated it himself, the story. He had honestly wished that he had a different story growing up and even now, but what would his excuse be now? Nothing, he had none. At least with this story he was able to hide behind the fear that he loved so much to throw at people. His head snapped to Petal. The perfect little sprite sitting there watching him. She had no idea what he was really going through at the moment. His eyes never left her for a moment, he watched her swallowing hard and everything. His eyes stayed on her neck a little to long for his liking. He had no idea what this girl was doing to him, but he didn't like it at the moment. Her words seemed to hit him harder than he knew. He blinked and his eyes flickered up to hers in that moment. "WHAT?" He said out loud causing the people around him to give him a curious look. He turned his head to them and waved them off in that second. He didn't like having attention on him at all and that was what she was bringing. He hated it. "The only bond I have is with my siblings and that is barely there." He told her with a snort. He could have cared less about the people that were around him. Maybe there was Gabe that had helped him but again he was annoying as well.

The sun was beginning to dip towards the horizon, casting long shadows across the camp. Amidst the fading golden light, Tempest took a moment to savor their victory. The distant muffled yells and frustrated sounds coming from the Hermes cabin brought a wide grin to her face. She looked over to see Henry glowing with success, her joyful laughter filling the air. "Oh, we more than got them," Tempest chuckled, returning the fist bump and flawlessly executing their secret handshake. "I'd say Atalanta has been fully avenged and the balance of justice restored. Mother would be so proud" she said sarcastically at that last part. But a sense of satisfaction did wash over her; another successful mission in the books. However, amidst the elation, a twinge of uncertainty flickered within Tempest's eyes. She remembered the bet she had made with Henry earlier and felt a strange mix of curiosity and concern. She wanted to know, yes, but she also wondered about the implications it might bring to their dynamic. Shaking off the thought for now, she motioned toward the mess hall. "Fruit and stories await," she remarked, her voice teasing yet sincere. "I have to hear about this fateful night, after all." As they entered the mess hall, the warm aroma of freshly baked bread hit them instantly. They quickly filled their plates with an assortment of fruits and pastries, choosing a table away from prying ears. Settling down, Tempest leaned in, eyes gleaming with mischief, "Alright, Cub, spill the beans. You owe me, and I'm a woman of my word. Every. Single. Detail." Her voice was filled with playful anticipation, but beneath it all lay a protective edge, a testament to the deep bond she shared with her younger friend. She took a bite of her fruit, waiting for Henry to begin the tale.

Gael watched her tilt her head for a moment as he ran a hand through his hair. There was a lot that this girl knew about him. He hated it, because now she had something on him that she could tell everyone around him. He had trusted her in not telling anyone but who was to say that she would keep this a whole ass secret. He didn't know her from anyone in the camp other than the fact that they have been spending a little more time together. He had a fascination with her at the moment. He didn't know why, but it was a little strange to him. He had put the colorful paint on his face. She seemed to be a little shocked by his actions. Hell, so was he. He didn't know what to do about it at the moment. She was changing him, and he didn't know if it was a bad thing or a good one. So right now, he was totally going to go for the bad one. He sighed heavily and smirked. "No, I guess one should be in battle." he mused. "But you're not hiding at all when you're this colorful." a chuckle came from him. She was something different, and again was that a bad or good thing. "Oh, they will see you coming that is for sure." Gael's eyes glanced down to her hand with the flag in it and a smile came to his lips. Well, at least one of them were getting something accomplished. He was pretty sure that he was just put in the game to scare the kiddos off. "I'm catching my breath at the moment." he told her honestly. "I just battled some Ares kids, they got the upper hand on me for a moment, I had to escape from them, so I ran." he said with a shrug. He was never really good at by capture the flag, but it was a game that the camp enjoyed so there was that. He blinked a little and turned away from her listening still to her words. Her telling him that she had the flag, and he had a sword. Petal's question made him glance back over to her for that second and it was like she had the ability to stop him in his tracks. She had him pinned with a glance. It was like she was looking for something, something that she was so close to finding and him having to hide all over again. Shit. She had gotten to close to him. He had dropped some of his walls and she had just walked in like she owned the place. He was locked in her eyes for a moment before he blinked and went back to locking himself up again. Shit. To close. " Well," he started as he pulled at his shirt a little, bringing the bottom to whip his face off, his toned stomach on show for her. "If you need my help that bad, I don't mind helping a little sprite out." he grinned brightly, teasing her. The nickname was never going to go away.
