Burdens of Leadership

[waterproofed]

[Percy has never sounded more adult-like or serious as he begins to speak to the journal]

I want to thank everyone for not attacking my dog the other day. I know she probably looked intimidating at first, but I appreciate that you guys played with her.

Living in the castle, it's easy to assume everything's going to be dangerous. It's hard for us to find time to just relax and have fun. So I hope everyone can find a way to have fun this afternoon. Race with a chariot, on a hellhound, with your own feet... Whatever.

If we can't allow ourselves to have one fun afternoon, then the castle really is stealing our spirit.

Open Post: Arena

[the sun is shining and it's a beautiful clear day! The arena has been cleaned of all hellhound dust and the track is set for the upcoming race. But whether or not anyone actually chooses to race today is left to be seen...]

-78- Dance in the Smoke

[luckyvalentine]

[as great as it's been to be in a cabin that seems to have an unlimited supply of alcohol--especially waking up ever morning with a hangover, that's been a real treat--Faye's managed to get bored.

Sure, drinking with her cabinmates has been a blast... even if she's pretty sure she wouldn't be able to recite most of their names if you paid her... but it's not enough.

It's still too much like drinking alone.

...So, after the races, the doors of Dionysus are being propped open, and the barrels are rolling out. Literally.

She's in a sharing mood.]

Hey--[sounding a little out of breath over the journal]--I don't suppose there are any big, strong men around who could give a lady a hand, is there? These things are heavy.

[and then she plops down on the front porch of her cabin to wait]

So, we beat a bunch of monster dogs, had a race... or something with horses, right? And hey, we're on vacation.

I think it's time for a party. Head to the Dionysus cabin if you agree.


((ooc: the Dionysus cabin is sharing its store of alcohol with the rest of camp! Come hang around the cabin, or feel free to imply that you haul away some of the stash for yourself! Plot-approved!))

[York's out on the grounds tonight with a bottle of pilfered wine and a good variety of foodstuffs from the kitchen area, sitting at the feet of a particularly sexy (to his mind, anyway) statue. Great way to spend your six-month anniversary with your girlfriend. He raises her a toast and drinks it silently, joined by a Delta in human form. Sometimes it's good to ditch the cabins and be alone with your friends, although speaking of which, he writes up a quick filter.]

[Friends]

Dionysus aren't the only ones who can have a party. Anyone who wants to join me and Delta for a drink and some snacks, we're at [insert location of statue here]. Kat, I know you can see this filter, so you're invited too.

[/Friends]

[Whether anyone shows up or not, they'll at least enjoy the change of scenery. When you're out of the castle, might as well celebrate being out of the castle.]

((ooc: Open to friends (if you think you're on this filter, you probably are) and anyone liable to wander around on the outskirts of the forest!))

Parties, chariot races, are camps always this festive? Or I suppose, a better question would be, when the castle changes like this, is it always so peaceful? I was told that this place could be dangerous... but maybe the danger in some places isn't so obvious.

[she muses as if she's talking to herself, but then she makes an indecisive hm~ and turns her attention back towards the journal]

So, have you all been having fun?

[she's wandered over to the edge of the forest, where's she's found a lovely tree to lean against while she watches the sunset and talk on the journal. She'll be keeping her eyes open, so if you happen to pass by you'll have a blonde girl waving in a seemingly friendly greeting. So, feel free to appraoch her either in person or over the journal]
