Drew King 
The girls eyes fluttered open. “Hi, do you need a drink?” Drew asked, he has plenty of time to read books on what to do after someone faints. Apparently they may need a drink or food and plenty of rest.
@RainyDay sorry this is late and so short.
Ajax Taylor ~ Before Trial - with Kara
Ajax nodded slightly. “He hadn’t planned on it. I caught him with a picture of you both as little kids.” Ajax paused for a minute. Kara knew that they were full blooded siblings, but thinking about it, Ajax wasn’t sure that Colden had known they shared not just their father but their mother too. “He said that he had left to protect you and that he missed you, but that was as much that he would tell me.” The last conversation Ajax had with Colden was seven years earlier, so he couldn’t remember the details as clearly as he would have liked, but he could remember that Colden didn’t tell him much. Then Kara had mentioned the burning. “I did not have plans for going with anyone, are you?”
Eden Irvette
Breakfast had been a quiet affair even with the girl sitting beside her. She had taken to ignoring her but out of her own safety. She could’ve started yelling at her for no reason. She took only a few bites of her breakfast before she gave up on eating at all and left the table with a mumbled “sorry.” She strode to her cabin and laid looking up at the ceiling until she fell asleep.
By the time Eden woke up the sun was already setting. Per what had been announced before she got up and got ready. She took the time to wash, brush and straighten her hair before putting pins at the side to hold it down. She got dressed and followed all the other campers into the clearing in the forest. This was a party for the deceased yet it somehow had this lively feel to it. She took a bloodred drink and downed it not knowing the contents of it. She didn’t like the taste of it and gave herself a mental note to avoid it later. She moved through the crowd and smiled politely at everyone until she set eyes on the person that sat beside her during breakfast. It wasn’t as if Eden didn’t like her, it was more like, Eden wasn’t in the mood to talk and ended being rude and now doesn’t know how the girl would react to her.
“Hello!” Eden said way too cheerfully “I’m sorry about this morning. It wasn’t really my intention to be rude.” Eden hoped she didn’t look or sound desperate. “I’m Eden,” she said jovially as she extended her right arm for a handshake.
Daphne Aliz Claramount || Celebration ~ Demarco
Daphne reclunctantly pulled on a a black dress, one she hadn’t worn in a long time. It wasn’t that she didn’t like dresses, but rather she didn’t like to be looked at weirdly. Heels gave a different impression then combat boots and wearing a dress wasa quite contrast to her clothes tailored for fighting. She looked at herself in the mirror, she looked almost… pretty. She didn’t do pretty well though, so she smoothed out her dress, at least it was black. She opened her cabin door, followed by fellow Ares cabin memebrs some who were neutral or disgruntled by the formal wear. It didn’t take long to reach the forest, she ended up wandering to wear the drinks were and purposefully ignored the alcohol as she picked up a Coca-Cola and popping off the tab before taking a quick swig and looking around. She made a comment towards a boy who wasn’t that far away from her, “You don’t seem to be from the camp, any chance you happen to be from one of the other pantheons?” She asked turning to him, bored enough to strike up a conversation.
Ariadne Lanthe Calpyso || Celebration ~ Caspian Bell
The boy gave off a sense of calm confidence as he spoke to Ariadne, she respected that. She nodded as he spoke and it began to fall into place, Ah, Camp Jupiter. She gave a him a friendly smile as she spoke after lifting her cup to her lips, “Ah, that makes sense. I’m Greek, so I’ve been here for quite a bit.” She paused before asking him, “How’re you enjoying the party? It’s quite lively for a funeral, but it’s about celebrating the life, after all.” Ariadne offered a small shrug as if to hide the slightly more depressing topic of her words. She pointed to his empty hands, “Do you want a drink?”
Anatolio Rhysleigh || Celebration ~ Sienna
Anatolio fingered the tie before perfectly putting it upon his burgandy colored suit and gave himself a charming smile in the mirror, a cocky grin bright upon his face. Even though the that this was technically funeral he managed to keep his emotions together. He soon found himself in the forest, the drinks and smell of alcohol filled his nose and he calmly hoped he could keep his abilities under control- the ability to make people sexually attracted to him could be a d-mn pain sometimes. He flashed a cocksure grin at the girl next to him, he recognized her - he made an effort to recall the names of all the new campers so they didn’t feel completely isolated. “Ah, the Sienna! What a pleasure to see you here, how’re you doing tonight?”
Karan Lander || ~ Ajax Taylor
“He hadn’t planned on it. I caught him with a picture of you both as little kids.”
Karan nodded, pushing a stray piece of hair behind her ear. She wondered what picture Colden held onto, she was rather young and she doubted she could recall any specific picture that would prompt Colden to keep. She bit her lip slightly as she listened to Ajax talk, from what she could recall that sounded like Colden, he knew how to keep things to himself. She did miss Colden when he left, but she quickly had to get over it thanks to the media. She rose an eyebrow when Ajax mentioned he didn’t have plans for heading with anyone. “Hm, no, people are actually more interested in observing the new oracle from a distance then talk to me.” Karan remarked, laughing a little. She never really fit into an extroverted persona and her seemingly cold-hearted nature seemed to push people away. She paused before asking, “If you’d like you can come with me-” Karan stopped as it dawned on her as how it could’ve come off. “N-not as a date or anything,” Karan stammered out as a slight flush colored her cheeks and she stared at the floor for a moment. “As friends.” She glanced at Ajax out of the side of her eye, “We are friends by now, aren’t we?”
Ajax Taylor - with Kara
Ajax rarely made plans to go with someone to these events. Although the standard was to go with someone, he had more of concern than deciding who to go with. When he did go with someone, it was usually just to accompany a brand new camper. Ajax never had even been a fan of the parties to celebrate the lives of the fallen campers. Not because he disagreed with celebrating their life, but Ajax wasn’t much of a party person. However, he never had a choice about whether or not he was going. At least by being there, he could keep an eye out for anything strange going on while he thought of next steps for the camp. Ajax nodded slightly as he listened to her. “They should just talk with you. I don’t see any reason why they should steer clear of you.” He could understand in a way. Even when he was younger he had a temper and how he had a sense of authority about him that made people unsure about him, which only increased when he became the leader of camp. He was the person who told everyone what to do, which definitely deceased the number of people that wanted to be around him for a long while. Ajax then couldn’t contain a slight chuckle at her getting flustered as she suggested them going together. “I’d like that. It’s plan then, we’ll go together.” Then when she asked if they were friends, Ajax nodded. “Yeah, we are.” Kara was quickly joining a very small list of people, the list of people Ajax fully trusted.
He listened to her as she spoke, nodding when she asked him if he was enjoying the party. “I think this type of funeral is better.” He admitted, rubbing the back of his neck. “Instead of being sad they died, we’re celebrating that they lived.” He elaborated, adjusting his glasses. She offered him a drink and he nodded. “That’s actually what I was doing before you bumped into me.” He confessed with a small chuckle. “Maybe you could help me. I’m trying to find something to drink that doesn’t have alcohol in it.” He inquired, hoping that she would be able to help him.
@katabasis - Ariadne
Kaylen made her way through the forest towards the celebration, playing around with the position of her braid. By the time she was happy with it, she’d arrived at the clearing. She mixed in with crowd, taking a cup of wine that had been poured by the Dionysus kids. Since she’d been at the camp for a few years, she knew how these things went, but it still felt somewhat strange to her. Having a party after someone died. She meandered around the party, giving anyone she happened to make eye contact with a polite smile. Eventually she saw a girl who seemed nice, so she walked up to her and smiled, taking a sip of her drink. “Hi, I’m Kaylen.” She said, introducing herself to the girl.
@Littlefeets - Vanya
Sienna Wardolf
Celebration • With Anatolio
Sienna put on a black dress that she found in the back of her closet. Never worn which wasn’t very surprising to her. flattened the dress down a little before checking how she looks. Putting a few pieces of hair behind her hair as she made her way to the celebration. She arrived and took in everyone who was there. A lot of people were here, but she wasn’t doubting any less would show. She walked over to the drinks where Alec poured her a drink. Thanking him before sticking to the side of the crowd. Hearing a guy next to her speak she looked over. It took her a moment before remembering him. “I could say the same, Anatolio. Pretty good after everything. A little shocked if so.” She replied before gesturing to his hand. “I’m surprised to see you don’t have a drink in your hand.”
Alec Lance
Celebration • With Audrey
Alec adjusted his suit before walking down to the celebration. Since he was a son of Dionysus, he had to pour the drinks for a little while before the others took over. He poured himself a drink and then let them officially take over. He walked away waving at them before turning back around and almost running into a girl. The gods only know how bad spilling his drink would make a girls night. “Uh… sorry about that. I don’t think any got on you or your dress.” He rubbed the back of his neck. “You want some more to drink on the other hand?” He gestured to the drink in her hand unless she is just holding it for someone else. He scanned her face to see if he remembered her… was it Andrea? No… Audrey? Yeah, their ya go. He ran his hand threw his hair.
Quest reaction (chapter 7)
“We need to be careful with what we ask him. If I remember correctly he was a blind prophet of apollo. I could have sworn he got turned into a girl. " Bryan paused for a moment hoping one of the other It would seem the camps assumptions where wrong?” We have been working on that isfet was a deception for Aphophis. Maybe isfet is the one behind this Bryan deced to keep to himself he needed more information before he would tell the girls his thoughts. Bryan let the girls think over what he said.
“Can we save the camps magic system?” he addressed Tiresias.He had one question he also wanted to ask but wanted to hear his response.
Autumn walked through the forest on her way to the celebration, one hand on her head to make sure her scarf didn’t get caught in the branches. The other hand was holding up her skirt so that she didn’t step on it. She looked around, seeing what kinds of plants she could spot as she walked. She continued through the forest, hearing someone walking near her. She whipped her head around, thinking she was being followed, breathing a sigh of relief when it turned out to be a girl. She let go of her skirt and veil to wave at her, smiling. We’re both going to the same place, why not make a friend. She thought, moving closer to the girl. “Hi! I’m Autumn.” She said, speaking loud so the girl could hear her.
@Dying_Dreams - Blair
Damarco Nilsen ~~ Celebration|| Daphne
Damarco had taken to quietly watching from the sideline as things went haywire around the camp. It wasn’t his business and he intended to keep it that way. He didn’t really understand the need for a party to celebrate the death of a camper when a funeral would’ve much better suited the occasion and everyone who wasn’t close to the deceased would’ve have parted after sharing a few kind words and sharing condolences but alas it wasn’t the case here; that was why he was currently standing in the forest clearing, surrounded by a lot of unknown people and potential enemies. He took one of the orange canned drinks of the table and read the name. Fanta. He still hadn’t adapted properly to the modern world so he wasn’t all that familiar with this particular brand. He popped the tab off and took a cautious sip of the drink. It had a slight fiz to it but other than that it was quite nice. He had taken to staring around the crowd and sipping his drink until a voice spoke directly to him over the exuberant chattering. He turned to her and flashed her a slight smirk. “What happens if by chance I am?” he retorted playfully. Staring at other people enjoying themselves was getting quite boring and if he could keep his boredom at bay, why make it plain? “I’m Damarco by the way,” he added before returning to his drink.
Karan Lander
Ajax • Outside the Forest
A little while after talking with Ajax and they had agreed to go to the celebration together, Karan found herself in her cabin picking out something to wear. Normally, she skipped out on these types of things, celebrations, balls, etc. Usually because she was sick or she wasn’t interested- and when she did go she often decided not to focus on what to wear. Being the child of a rich man however, Karan had many dresses and things to choose from but while most things she choose by random she found herself carefully selecting what she wanted to wear tonight. She chose one of her less elaborate dresses- even though it was still rather special and ten minutes later she found herself out of the door in heels. Karan wasn’t unused to heels, nor was she unused to dresses, while she did not regularly wear them in camp, she was familiar and comfortable in them from attending balls and galas. She easily walked in the heels towards the forest, where Ajax and her had agreed to meet up. She felt slightly nervous, for reasons she couldn’t quite decipher as she waited for her newest friend to arrive.
Katherine Tania Kolchis
Connor • Outside Luna Cabin
Katherine was dressed in a dress that reminded her of the night sky and she hadn’t worn heels in such a long time, so she shifted from foot to foot as she awaited someone, her nerves getting the better of her. No, it wasn’t a date- was it? No, no. It was just friends going together to a party…Katherine didn’t quite know where it started, all she knew was that she met a Greek camper - Connor - and they ended up talking and now they’re going to the celebration together. Katherine took a deep breath and quietly opened up the door of her cabin and stepped outside, she fiddled with the tulle on her dress, a dress she had never worn before but found in her closet. Katherine didn’t think it’d be a stretch to believe that possibly her mother had dropped it there. She sighed slightly and continued to wait.
Ariadne Lanthe Calpyso
Caspian • Celebration
“I think this type of funeral is better. Instead of being sad they died, we’re celebrating that they lived”
Ariadne nodded in agreement, this way was less depressing. She swayed from side to side lightly with the music. She raised an eyebrow as he spoke, saying he was looking for a drink and one preferably without alcohol. A smile played on her lips, amused as she asked, “Ah, I take it you don’t drink then? Makes one of us.” Ariadne chuckled slightly before looking around, swirling her drink around in her glass before downing. Liquid courage, that’s what they called it. She leaned in closer to Caspian so he could hear her over the music and lively shouts of the other campers. She gave him a flirtatious smile before responding, “And say I do help you find one, what do I get?”
Anatolio Rhysleigh
Sienna • Celebration
Anatolio smirked at Sienna and raised an eyebrow at her, surprised she could recall him. He ran his hand through his hair before giving an effortless laugh, “Is that what you think of me? A common drinker at parties?” He gave Sienna a teasing smile. “Now, Miss. Wardolf I’m deeply offended- besides, I for one follow the law. You seem a bit young for that drink in your hands.” He gave her a wink, amusement playing throughout his features as he observed the lady next to him, dressed in a black dress that flattered her rather well. He held up his hands in a mock sign of surrender before continuing, “Although I’m willing to not tip off the police if you offer me a dance.” He was a charmer, although through his enjoyment he hoped his power hadn’t turned on - the power to make others sexually and/or physically attracted to him. He held out his hand, “What do you say? I believe this to be rather fair game, wouldn’t you?”
Daphne Aliz Claramount
Demarco • Celebration
Daphne raised an eyebrow at the boy’s response, although a small smile found it’s way onto her face without her permission. “Ah,” Daphne began. “Than it seems I would need to introduce myself.” Daphne was infamous in the camp, for her quick anger and war-mongering habits and of course, being the Ares cabin leader. His playful demeanor was not lost on Daphne who adopted an amused expression for the boy before her. She tilted her head to the side as the boy introduced himself, “I’m Daphne, I’m the Ares cabin leader.” A small amount of pride tinged her voice, she was very proud of her heritage and the weight of her father’s name. She brushed a stray lock of black, curly hair away from her face before speaking again. “Non-alcoholic drink? Seems I’ve met someone with at least some level of class.” She took a sip of her own drink, savoring the taste, although she knew that a party like this would have her training for hours the next day- but it wouldn’t hurt to indulge slightly…especially after she herself had carried the dead girl’s body to the infirmary. “So tell me Demarco, which pantheon do you come from?”
“Yeah, I don’t drink. Let’s just say I’m not a huge fan of the effects alcohol has on people.” He responded, biting the inside of his cheek. He pretty much had this response preset in his mind whenever he went to parties, just in case someone asks why he doesn’t drink. He watched as she downed her drink and leaned in towards him. She asked what she’d get out of helping him and he gave her a flirtatious smile in return. “Well, you have my gratitude and maybe we’ll see where the night takes us.” He teased, smiling as he bit the corner of his lip.
@katabasis - Ariadne
Sienna Wardolf
Celebration • With Anatolio
She tapped her finger on her chin as she pretended to think. “Well, yes. That’s what I’ve come to the conclusion of.”She replied with a faint smile on her lips. “Ahh, You for the law, how surprising.”She teased him. “It’s always more fun to break the law every once in a while. Plus when I drink I’m automatically 21. You should really try it.” She smirked at him as she took a drink from it. She quirked her brow as she thought. “Well, well, we’ll we’ve got a smooth talker on our hands ladies. I might as well not get in more trouble with the law so I’ll just have to take you up on that offer of yours.” She said taking another sip before speaking,” The worlds not that fair, but this may not be too far behind.” She teased him with a wink and smoothed put her dress a little.
Arden Mae Marino
Quest Reaction || Chapter 7
Although Arden’s annoyance as a result of Quintella pushing her ahead lingered, she managed to move past it long enough for them to speak to the blind man Tiresias. Although she would definitely be bringing it up later. She could not help but snicker quietly as the old man pointed out that Camp Half-Blood was, in fact, not only Bryan’s camp but Quintella’s as well. Her hand rose, though, to cover her mouth so that she could hide the natural reaction. Her frown was back, though, as he somewhat aggressively ordered them to sit and talk.
Truthfully, she was not sure what to ask at first but managed to interject at one point and ask, “This may be a silly question and I doubt that it will affect our work ethic all that much but… I’m curious… what are the chances that we’ll be successful?” In the back of her mind, she could not help but feel a tad bit doubtful. It almost seems like they had gotten everything wrong up until now and it was discouraging to say the least. “And… could you give us any useful tips or hints; maybe something that we need to keep in mind when the time comes? I know that that may be asking much but… I’m not quite sure where to even start with questioning.”
It was safe to say that the questioning had started off pretty rocky.
April Irvin
I laid in my bed, fiddling with my bracelet deep in thought. I was still concerned for the girl I met this morning. She looked distraught, stress, tense. I sighed and sat up, a smile crept onto my face.
I stood up and made my way to the bathroom. I stared at the brush I threw into the sink and took in a deep breath. Grabbing the brush, I began combing through my tangled dark brown hair.
I took a shower and brushed my teeth, slipping into a blue dress and white heels. Putting my hair into a bun, I left a few strands down.
Staring at the mirror I smiled.
It was the first time in a long time I felt pretty.
I left the cabin and headed to the party.
Entering the party, campers were everywhere drinking unknown substances, swimming, and dancing. I was slightly freaked out by the energy, but got comfortable with it after a few minutes. I sat down at a table and watched everyone dance and smile.
I didn’t have a date, and to my knowledge it was mandatory. Hopefully I could talk to someone and play it off as a date.
I heard a cheerful yelp beside me. It was pretty hard to miss.
It was the girl from this morning.
I smiled and shook Eden’s hand.
“April. You can sit if you want.” I said gesturing to the seat across from me.
I gazed at her pink dress. “Your dress is… stunning!” I exclaimed.
Audrey Williams
I walked over to the bathroom to get ready. Everyone else had already left the cabin and headed to the party.
I didn’t have a date. I wasn’t going to stay for long however.
I took down my ponytail and played around with my purple hair. I hated the feeling of hair on my neck, I always preferred a ponytail.
I threw on a black dress and black heels and looked in the mirror. With a small smile, I left the cabin and headed for the forest.
Deep in the forest you could see tables filled with fountains pouring alcohol. I grabbed a drink from one of the Dionysus kids and examined the area. Turning around I bumped into someone nearly spilling my drink.
“Watch it Alec!” I yelled, checking to see if I spilled any wine on my dress.
“No it’s fine.” I said.
“You aren’t drunk already, are you?”
Connor Beckett
I rummaged through the bathroom looking for my pants.
They were right here!
I looked through the cabinet underneath the sink when Molly peaked into the bathroom holding up my pants. Looking over to her I smiled.
“Thanks…”
She rolled her eyes with a smirk as I grabbed the pants and finished getting dressed.
I played around with my hair and looked into the mirror, staring into my eyes.
“You got this. Its just a party with a friend. It’s not a date. It’s just a party. Don’t trip, don’t fall, don’t ruin your tux, don’t dance like a maniac- in fact, don’t dance at all-“
“Are you talking to yourself?” I heard Molly ask.
“Shut up!” I yelled closing the bathroom door.
I took a deep breath and smiled. “You got this.”
I left the cabin racing towards Luna Cabin.
As I got near I could see Katherine waiting for me. I grinned from ear to ear gazing at her.
I stood across from her and chuckled.
“You look… beautiful.” I said with a smile.
“I- uh…” I handed her a blood red rose.
“Got you a flower… it was one of the last that survived the… fire.” I smiled.
I outstretched my arm for her to take. “M’lady.”

Damarco Nilsen ~~ Celebration|| Daphne
Damarco titled his head at her and smiled. “A woman with power, I like you already,” he told her while tilting his drink to her as a toast. He had never met a person in power who wasn’t a bigot. She knew how to show her pride without having an air of superiority that made others feel inferior. He liked her name but refrained from passing commentary. He laughed a little at her commentary. “I pride myself in being classy and alcohol is not my forte.” He had had enough interactions with liquor an he’d rather not want to put himself on display. “Well I’m from the Norse pantheon so by that you’re talking to a 400-year-old demigod,” he said jokingly and gave a slight bow making sure to not spill his drink.
@melancholy
Ajax Taylor ~ Forest - with Kara
For once, Ajax was actually going to one of the camp celebrations with someone. Over the course of talking with Kara, the two decided to go together. Jake, like always, had made certain to drop by the Zeus cabin to ensure that Ajax was ready. Jake was one of the people at camp he had known the longest, and Jake was also the main reason Ajax had ever dressed up for events like this one. Jake teased him the entire time he was at the Zeus cabin, about Ajax not going alone. Ajax reluctantly gave in to Jake, waiting until Jake was satisfied, to head out to meet up with Kara. Wearing one of his only two choices of formal attire Ajax walked out towards the forest where he saw Kara. “Hey.”
@melancholy
Vanya “Butterfly” Blake ~ Forest - with Kaylen
Vanya was barely beginning to feel slightly comfortable at the camp. She was still nervous around everyone, but she was starting to feel better. However, that didn’t change how jumpy she was. Unaware, she quickly took a couple steps back as a girl walked up to her. Nervous, Vanya smiled and gave a small wave. “Hi. I’m… I’m Vanya.”
“That’s a really pretty name.” She told her, smiling. Kaylen could see that she was nervous and wanted to see if there was anything she could do to make her less nervous. “You’re a new camper, right?” She asked, just to clarify. She took a small sip of her drink, letting the liquid flow down her throat. “Do you want a drink?” She offered.

Alec Lance
Celebration • With Audrey
He smiled nervously. “Oh okay, that’s good for me.” He laughed a little and shook his head. “Now, now, I can’t be drunk. Remember, I’m Immune.” He tapped his temple with a slight smirk on his face as he spoke. “I say equally our faults though.” He shrugged. “So how are you… liking the celebration so far?” He asked her. He wasn’t sure if she was close with her, but he doesn’t think so. He looked at how she was dressed. “Is this the first time you ever wore your hair down?” He asked teasingly.
