Day Three: Campfire

[camphalf_blood]

[so, we've had a pretty interesting day, huh? A possible race/protest, some predictions... It's a lot to discuss!

So gather around the campfire and hash out the day's events!]


[apologies for it being later tonight! Same drill as yesterday: make your own threads]

Campfire - Not so crowded spot

[antichauffeur]

[These camp days are tiring so Hesam is just gonna use a log as a makeshift pillow and curl up right here.

Hopefully he won't get stepped on. Much.]

[spongetastic]

[don't worry, Peter is close by to make sure he isn't]

[antichauffeur]

[Best bro ever.


Soooo many owed beers, man.]

[supes]

[Clark spots them and sidles over, with a touch of a smile.]

How are you enjoying summer camp, Peter?

[spongetastic]

Hey, Clark.

I don't think I've ever been in a summer camp like this. What've you been doing since we got here?

hanging out near the fire alone - open!

[starhipped]

[Esther had kind of a stressful day. Almost drowning, all of that, it takes a lot out of a girl! But she's here, dry, trying to forget all about her horrible encounter with the water.]

Campfire - placeholder

[mal_addict]

[Maladict is just chilling by the fire, enjoying a cup of coffee. It reminds her of being with her regiment, really. The peaceful comradely, the occasional Stupid Story]

Don't suppose anyone else knows the lyrics to the Hedgehog Song?

[Don't let her sing the song, it's a trap]

[antichauffeur]

[Hesam is hoping Clark's answer involves cooking. He has not forgotten that promise.]

Away from the main group - Another placeholder YEP

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler would really rather not be out here, amongst people. However, the gears and machinery of Hephaestus’ cabin remind him far too much of his factory for comfort. Though it may be an inventor’s dream, it leaves a bad taste in his mouth. Besides, sharing a living space with a bunch of other guys (and one very unfortunate woman) is not the same as living alone.

So he’s sitting on the ground, his back resting on a pillar, a good distance away from the main group of people, getting as much solitude as he possibly can. He strums the strings of a guitar he knocked together in the cabin the day before, playing a quiet little tune, staring out at the nearby forest, feeling like he’s caught between a rock and a hard place.

Which when you think about it, he kind of is. He’s certainly not looking for company, which by the laws of Paradisa means you should go bother him]

[supes]

Running the place, I guess. [He shakes his head, with a smile.] Apparently I'm the Camp Director.

[spongetastic]

Really? Do they expect you to know anything about this place? [they meaning the satyrs]

A quiet place near the fire

[schrodingersghost]

[All these conversations with people convinced that he didn't have anything to fear here had gotten Danny to thinking. He still wasn't convinced. A year of being hunted by ghost-hunters from around the country had seen to that.

But he figured that he could maybe give it a try. See how freaked out people got.

Which was why he hanging out near the campfire in ghost form. White hair, green eyes, black jumpsuit, slight transparence and faint but obvious luminescence all included.

Hey, if someone did scream and run at least he could say he'd told them so.]

around the fire somewhere

[secondchances]

[Aah, camp. That thing she never could afford and never really wanted to go to, when younger. It isn't TERRIBLE, not like the cheesy family movies at all, but she's a little preoccupied wondering when Tim will be back.

So Steph's sitting, watching the fire, and looking a little more worried than she thinks she does.]

[triumph]

[Cassie has spent the past few days confused. It's one thing to get new demigods, it's another to get hundreds of them, with all of them talking about some castle and having been in a Paradise or something. She's resisted the urge to ask -- that's Cassie these days, friendly to a good point but always a bit wary about making too many friends, in case they disappear on her later.

Wearing a hoodie overtop her camp t-shirt and jeans to ward off the evening mosquitos, Cassie takes a seat by another blonde girl in front of the fire, and reaches her hands forward to feel the warmth of the flames.

It'll be a strange week.]

[secondchances]

[Steph glances over at whoever sat down.

She has to do a double take. So much for the brooding and worrying, because this person is awfully familiar. She blurts out the name:]

Cassie!?

[triumph]

[Cassie glances over, somewhat surprised.]

Huh? [Oh, awkward, she totally doesn't recognize this girl, but she does get a weird sense of deja vu.] I'm sorry, have we met?

[secondchances]

[Definitely Cassie. Steph's own surprised look quickly turns into a frown--wait. She should know how this goes.]

Right. No idea who I am. Sooo... [Awkward. How to play this?]

Uh, I mean--hi, I'm Stephanie.

[triumph]

[She frowns a touch, a little confused, but she extends her hand in greeting.]

Nice to meet you, I'm Cassie.... but you knew that. [Pause] Where do you know me from?

[secondchances]

[She shakes her hand with an awkward smile.]

How crazy will you think I am if I mention something about a magical castle?

[triumph]

Not too crazy. Lots of people have been talking about one.

[rainbowed]

[Kanaya spots a familiar face! How relieving. She quickly meets Maladict by the fire.]

Hedgehog Song? I'm afraid I've never heard of it before.

[secondchances]

And you don't know anything about it?

[triumph]

Not a thing...

[secondchances]

[Right.]

So, you're from here?

[triumph]

Yes. Well, not here here, but in the United States. California, to be specific, but I travelled a lot with mom. I found out I was a demigoddess when I was sixteen, and, as a result... [vague gesture around them.] Been here almost year-round ever since. I still get to see mom sometimes, but for the most part I'm here, for my own protection.

I don't know if anyone's broken it to you yet, but few demigods live to be adults. I'm practically a senior citizen here... or would be, any other week. This week's got a heck of a lot of adults.
