Day One: Party!

[camphalf_blood]

[it's the summer solstice and a huge group of demigods safely made it to camp. This is clearly a good omen for things to come. The camp is alive with music and dancing. The satyrs are jamming on their lutes and the tree nymphs come out of the trees to dance. Everybody's invited!

The party will go on long into the night. It's all for you guys, so have a blast!]


[Mingle | Eat | Dance | Campfire ( go tag! and backtags on the tour post are still okay!)]

[He looks up after a moment, thumb scrapping across his lower lip in thought before he drops his hand and shakes his head. He wants to say no, but...He'll never make sense of all the memories that way.

You get a slight flap of the wrist that may or may not be a gesture to sit next to him]

No. I certainly wasn't expecting anyone.

[save_the_souls]

Thank you.

[He sits down, sitting up and politely- hands resting against the ground. He'll glance up at the stars for a second before looking at Arthur. This may not be the battlefield where Allen's most comfortable, but he's not going to back down!]

How's this world change for you?

[excalibured]

[...If you start singing Pat Benetar he's never speaking to you ever again.]

I garner the impression that you often ask this of me, and you never hear what would like to.

I'm not enjoying myself.

[save_the_souls]

Maybe...a little. [HE WANTS YOU TO BE ABLE TO HAVE FUN JEEZ]

How come?

[excalibured]

[LMAO WHAT IS HAPPINESS...] Mm...

Do you know anything of me at all? There is magic here. And not only that, it's been given to others.

[Connect the dots bb, he knows you can do it! ...Maybe]

[save_the_souls]

[Hey he's an unclaimed, that means no powers!]

Eh?

[He's connecting!]

You were...given magic?

[excalibured]

[Oh you SUCK. Not that he wants the stigma of being unclaimed...Man this is the worst ever.

He forces the word out through gritted teeth, and then directs his gaze back to the fire]

Yes. Would you like to see?

[save_the_souls]

Um...

[This is a trap; he knows it]

That's quite all right, really.

[excalibured]

Oh?

[He'll be arching an eyebrow and turning to look at him again, a little surprised]

It's such a rare opportunity. Why would you wish to squander it? [He gets the feeling you've been one of those people who are like YAY MAGIC and trying to raise his tolerance. And now you're squandering the chance to force him to use it?]

[save_the_souls]

You don't like using magic, why would I wish to make you do something like that?

[Not so much YAY MAGIC, since he knows it can be bad, so much as just...LOVE AND TOLERANCE YAY ]

[excalibured]

Some altruistic reason for others, I'm sure. Such as placing myself in their position.

[Etc, you know all the bullcrap he wouldn't buy ever?]

[save_the_souls]

[He considers, then shakes his head, glancing at the fire]

I would not want that...powers, they aren't something to be trifled with by anyone.

[Frowning]

Some things, even if it gave them perspective on others' positions, I would not wish them on anyone.

[excalibured]

So you have some form of intelligence. I'm impressed.

[There's no heat to the words]

Then you are not of the opinion that they're good?

[save_the_souls]

That's because I'm not an idiot, unlike what you always thought.

[Okay so maybe he's not entirely mature. A slight pause]

Power, magic, abilities...in of themselves, they are neither good nor bad. It's what the person with those abilities chooses to do with them, and I've seen them used for both. Like swords...you can choose to use it to protect people...or hurt them.

Though...they do have a tendency to bring about more trouble.

[excalibured]

Nothing in my memory suggests that's true.

[Just, you know, so you know]

I see. [It's a rather non committal answer. He understands your point of view, can see why you'd think it, he himself has certainly had reason to think so...Before.

A lot before. It's mostly to distract himself from the turn his thoughts have taken, and the magic used to ensure the instance...That he reaches over to lightly set his hand on Allen's shoulder, gaze firmly fixed on the fire.

That small static shock? Perhaps it was jut an accident]

1/2

[save_the_souls]

It is true! Even if you refuse to remember it!

[And he was surprised by the hand on his shoulder, turning to look at him] Huh...?

[save_the_souls]

[And then he makes a squeak noise of surprise at the shock!]

[excalibured]

[THE MOST INNOCENT LOOK OF CONFUSION EVER, and he pulls his hand away]

What is the matter with you?

[save_the_souls]

I-!

[...Okay he's not going to complain about static electricity]

...Nothing.

[excalibured]

[He would think you were pretty wimpy if you did]

I doubt that very much.

[save_the_souls]

Hey! What's that supposed to mean!?

[excalibured]

[...Srsly?]

You jumped at...Apparently nothing at all. I would think that was reason enough, to assume there is something the matter with you.

[save_the_souls]

Well there isn't!

[an annoyed noise] Whatever...

[He's just going back to staring at the fire now]

[excalibured]

Mm.

[He's just going to lean back on his hands, and stare into the fire pleasantly. He does remember how much he's loved annoying you, and you certainly prove the trend of making it so incredibly easy...

He'll be spider walking a couple fingers in his direction. And that shock? Is more like a zap]

[save_the_souls]

[And he makes a "zzzt!" noise when he gets shocked! ]

Okay now I know I felt something!
