Narissa Rayne Vaska's Story

He looked to Alex who had rejoined him as he was picking at his food aimlessly then shrugged. What did he need an apology for? Next, she asked him any plans for today. Er, general chit-chat Daniel thought on his answer for a second. It wouldn’t vary much from what others were doing, he imagined. Which wasn’t specifically planned out at this stage.
Pretty quickly, his hair was tugged on roughly and before he could think to shut out, he clenched his teeth instead and hissed through them a little. “Too kinky” Equally as quick, release was granted but he couldn’t complain, especially seeing the blonde perpetrator. Fine. I deserved that.

Wes sat by them for a second. "I had a little... tussle with your sister on the trails this morning. She's a hottie." He scrunched up his face, displeased by the perspective. Daniel would say his sister was pretty but that was the end of it. And thankfully, the end of Wes' tormenting. Or so he thought. "Might have to stop by and see her later... If you know what I mean." “Dude!” Daniel was trying to half-enjoy his meal and the thought of someone wanting to hook up with Andy… It just didn't sit well with him. And Wes picked a bad audience to share it with. It didn’t take much talk for Wes to become bored though and move on with his tormenting of an ink covered girl. He shuddered a little. Andy had the reins of her love and hook-up life but Wes of them all...Is this what it's like to have a sister developed into womanhood? Shit He decided he didn't want a sister. He was illy protective of her already and Daniel didn't like the kryptonite and effort.

He tried to resume talking to Alex but one after the other, peopled piled into the main hall and distracted Daniel's calculating mind that just adored new people and drama. That was before Andy fell ass over in the main hall with Ajax a fraction behind her. He looked between the two suspiciously. "Probably just gonna cause some trouble," he answered Alex at last. When Andy gave herself a strategic spot in Daniel's vision, he replied to her look with his own smirk. She wasn't in too hot of a position to tease after her delicate entrance. Maybe it's not so bad to have a sister from Hecate...

Jennova's embedded loyalty to their father seemed to return, bringing certain satisfaction back in David's limbs as his body relaxed. He hadn't even noticed he was still tense until he had heard her words promising to prioritize family over all. But he didn't really know if Jennova would have the cold heart to drop Toby. Especially after his healing part he played when they helped her from the underworld. But it wasn't personal. Dad didn't like any close relations that could prompt a warm heart. David nodded to Jennova. "Do what you gotta do," he agreed. It were better than family conflict.

He checked over his shoulder then looked back to his sister and smiled. He had caught Ajax's and Alex's appreciative glare. "I see you're still the popular child," he commented then rose. The company of himself had always been preferable to a slowly crowded hall. He stole an apple from a Demeter's child and smirked to Ajax as he tossed the green food up and caught it again.

He passed a new girl, judging by the bags she had in hand and he laughed. Pretty as she was, David couldn't help himself because her acting was worse than she knew. Poor girl wasn't giving off the best vibes as she thought and was probably somewhat forced to join the bunch of delinquents. "Welcome home new girl."

David's intention was to have his say and slip out the door but the girl had decided to ask him if he could help her out. And David didn't know why but he actually stopped, giving his attention to the girl. "Um. Well normally Ajax over there takes care of the newbies," David threw a thumb back vaguely. "But we should probably give him a break." He heard himself say as he caught the way she was eyeing him and the face that implied bad intentions. Slowly, his own smirk crept across his features. Before all the hell started going on behind him. He stepped beside the new girl watching the scene unfold in all the tattooed girl's unjustified rage. It was a scary thing actually. Daddy issues, obviously. Why else would she be so mad and unpleasant. Especially since it looked like she pursued the guy for a fight.

"Uhh...." he blinked trying to change subject and get out before the crazy bitch started a fight with David just for looking in her general direction. "So...who...whose child are you?" he resumed to ask. David picked up one of her bags in prompt to leave and show the girl to her cabin. There were plenty of other opportunities to watch a fight.

---

Daniel had blinked and Wes was moving in on his sister. Daniel shifted uncomfortably and sat a little taller. The child of Aphrodite was dislike-ably too close to her. Daniel narrowed his eyes as Wes played with her hair and laid one on Andy Just her cheek he had to remind himself to stay calm. But his favorite bit of all was Andy knocking her elbow back into his sensitive area which is when Daniel lit up again, proud to be associated with her. On some level he should have sympathized with the poor guy but Wes asked for it. Obviously Andy was the type to take care of herself.

Daniel's gaze flickered to the ink covered girl marching up to Wes while down and pushing him out of the door of the dining area. Daniel rose and followed. Not to be the kind to gather and chant 'fight, fight, fight' for once but because Wes had already received his punishment and it didn't need to excess to brutality. Wes was a minor nuisance was all. He saw the hard swung punch covering his mouth "Oooo! Shit" Daniel dragged his hand down to his jaw. What the heck had the guy done to piss her off so much?

"Poseidon."She had thankfully answered and begun to follow him to keep him busy, but mostly help in his cause to flee the scene. "He's great! I-I saw him right before I left Cali!" David nodded showing he heard and understood. That made one child that openly admitted they thought their parent was great. David couldn't quite admit the same. Hades and his capabilities and gifts were great but he himself needed a little work. Like that'd ever happen. Hades wasn't changing for anyone. He suited the Kingdom of the Underworld.

As he led the girl closer to the lake cabins she had introduced herself. "Unique name," he commented. "My name's David," he answered casually. Then dropped her suitcase gently looking on to the selection of cabins. "Now, which one's your style? We can dump the bags and figure out your classes and who to avoid and all that fun stuff." His pessimism and coldness was starting to shine again.

---

Andy had snaked by and began teaching some more lessons for the day. He had zoned out for the most part, keeping his eyes on Wes just imagining the suckiness of such luck. Elbowed in the balls then while weak hit across the jaw. "The only person I could possibly understand getting pissy about what he did, besides me, would be him." Daniel looked to Andy then ink woman then shrugged admittedly. It was true. And he had had half a mind to do it.
He stepped aside for Andy and Wes heading back into the hall to treat Wes' new bruised jaw or so. He also caught David stuck escorting a new girl around and smiled slightly to himself. Since everyone else was feeling redeeming and sentimental he had his own...jazz to tend to.

Slowly he approached the daughter of Ares cabin, knocking firstly to announce his entrance."Hey. Wow. It really does look like a horror movie went off in here." He grinned at his handy work then shook himself out of it."Need help cleaning up?" Daniel had another question itching at his mind. "So who came after you in the end anyway? He blurted. "I was internally conflicted."

<--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

A snort of warm, steamed air fluttered her eye-lashes, awakening her from what felt like an all to brief slumber. Granted jet, or technically Pegasi-lag could do that to you, after spending minimally the last two weeks between visiting families of new demigods to make sure they would be getting to camp alright, and of course, the latest funeral, around the world; any sleep she had gotten, to at least be presentable to others, was something exceedingly precious. To say nothing of her steadfast mount, he was the one flying after all... With a quick observation in their surroundings in weary curiosity, she concluded that they were almost home: As Orion's hooves were now touching the same, fluffy clouds they had been soaring high over for most of the morning so far after picking up fresh groceries for the camp's kitchen - as to not return empty-handed and late to the opening of the summer camp. And the frost from their high altitude that had touched her dark hair was melting, causing the crow's nest of a bun to seem sleek rather than the air buffeted mess it was; and the goose-flesh sporting an appearance on her bare arms seemed to be dissipating. At the very least, the Pegasi had sought fit to wake her before making the descent through the clouds. Seraphina shifted her position, re-tightening the leg straps clamping her and her one still sleeping (thank the Gods) passenger sitting in front of her, and glancing over the luggage and groceries to make sure nothing had jostled looser during their journey; once situated, she leaned forward, clamping one arm around the little boy, and the spare hand tangling fingers tightly into the thick black mane. "Ready." Orion gave another warning snort, before dropping his wings from the steady air current that had carried them so far and dropped like a stone. The ground came fast in a howl of whipping wind, that would have dried her eyes out if she hadn't closed them in time, and not before long the Pegasi touched down with a jolt and mighty splash in the swallows beside the lake's shore - with his wings flared up and wide to provide more surface area to slow down, as galloping legs came under their own power up a minor stretch of hill nearing one of the nearby cabins usually reserved for Poseidon's children, before then slowing to a dignified trot, and finally easing into a stop right beside the porch with a exhausted nicker detailing the obvious 'here we are'. She slapped a gentle, familiar pat across his sweaty shoulder blades, before responding "Thank you, Orion." Her eyes re-opened after a few blinks, cautious as they glanced around and focused towards the main road-way he usually used to touch down on to find a duo standing in the way with bags around their feet. Ahh, that would explain it. Seraphina moved to free herself and her passenger of the straps, and slipped off the saddle to land on sore and jellied legs. It took her moment to regain balance, and more so as Ilias began wiggling like mad, having finally woken up and realized they were finally on the ground, exclaiming sharply, "M-mum!" She set to work quickly and efficiently removing the extra, warm and padded clothing she afforded for the boy to travel high above the clouds, and the blindfold across the young boy's eyes. He finally settled down flat on his rump on the ground with all the annoyance a 3yr old could muster, picking at his flannel shirt aggressively. The young woman sighed, finding it really no use to reason with him until he was a little less grumpy, turned away back to the saddle, and began unloading their luggage and Orion's saddle unto the porch while leaving the groceries on the lawn.... Orion, now free, snorted inquiringly, so Seraphina prodded Ilias' until he looked back up her with a full-lipped pout and his brilliant blue eyes such different than her own blazing. "Do you want to go swimming with Orion, or to the kitchens with me?" The boy's inner fire seemed to dim at the question, looking between the waiting Pegasi and his mother his pout slowly transforming into a frown. She repeated, slower, "Swim or kitchen?" "Swim!" Ilias yelped, as Orion swung his head down, nuzzling his muzzle into his arms with a hearty, wet-sounding snort. Giggling, from prickly whiskers tickling under his chin and cheeks, helped the frown jump to a crooked grin. "No-no horsey! Swim, no tickle." Seraphina watched the ongoing exchange between the two with a silent smile, that happened to reach her eyes and ease the tenseness out of her shoulders - watching Orion lead the way back down the gentle slope, with Ilias following by clinging to the Pegasi's tail that yanked him forward. The flying horse would be able to keep his attention long enough for a 'swim', the Gods blessed the steeds everlasting patience and steadfast trustworthiness no doubt; it was more than enough time for her to get the groceries into the kitchens, and have lunch back to her cabin by the time the three year-olds' stomach would start growling. It was best to get to it... Seraphina ducked down and rummaged through the groceries, consolidating what could be consolidated before layering her arms with the bags and set out away from her cabin. Eventually reaching the path, and nearing the duo to find one was recognizable, if not slightly disgruntled currently, David, a son of Hades; however, the girl was new, and even Seraphina in all her recent travels couldn't place where or if she'd met her or her family, but she could still easily feel the unease rolling off her. Which caused her to slow her approach, and step off the side of the path to widen the distance, as a precaution per say (with enough hotheads, and enough powers running rampant; it did make a girl smart in some ways) but also as a sign of idle respect in her eyes. "Good morning." She called out in pleasant greeting, with a gentle smile, and a friendly light to her eyes.

The uneasy feelings, that Seraphina could feel radiating off the young blonde and seen in the tenseness of her shoulders, snapped away abruptly as her composure changed with a bright smile, stepping to the side of the pathway, and happily returned comment of, “Good Morning.” If she was anything but a daughter of Hera, she may have been disgruntled or curious while in silent observation about the sudden switch of emotions as if putting on a ‘show’; but it was all too much the reality for expected to be always helpful to everyone, and eagerly volunteering to be a part of the greeting (or farewell, funerals being the case) party for new demigods and their families alike – wearing a mask was natural, and Seraphina had yet to find such a reason to pull someone else’s down as of yet.

“Morning.” David, added in turn, as Seraphina eased to a unsteady stop beside the two – having additional room granted from the girl who’s smile had shifted to a sheepish grin, and had stepped to the side in case she had needed to pass (for which, she was grateful for the gesture). “Sorry, I’m new and David’s trying to help me find a cabin.” The new girl spoke up again, and despite the son of Hade’s conspiring whisper – yes, Seraphina could tell she was new. Especially by the mounds of luggage stacked around their feet, which usually was dropped off in advance of demigods arrival; but also, she couldn’t remember she’d ever personally met the girl or her family in preparation for the summer camp. Huh, odd.

“How nice of him,” Seraphina paused, sparing David a glance. He, or any child of Hades, had never been practically seen as the ‘helpful’ sort out of the goodness of their hearts from most of the demigod community, but she tried to be open to all regardless of ‘parental’ issues or grudges. So, her brief nod, and the mix of silent respect and thankfulness reflected in her eyes, was genuine. Whether or not he took it, was up to him. She glanced back to the girl, all warmth and gentle smile, “Well, welcome to camp newbie. I’m Seraphina, one of the Camp Staff, daughter of Hera. If you need help later with anything, don’t be afraid to ask, but I do need to get these groceries out of the heat and help get lunch started for the ‘horde’ – so, I am sorry, I do need to run.” Seraphina idly mused, apologetic but businesslike in turn, her ‘sunshine’ undiminished. “Happy cabin hunting though, and if worse comes to worse you can always grab a Artemis or Hera’ cabin for the mean time until your more comfortable with the camp before making a more permanent cabin decision.”

With a sigh David pointed the way with a flourish of his hand. "Forward." As they walked Narissa could tell the silence wasn't really a comfortable one. "So I was wondering..." Narissa looked up, a bit surprised David had been the one to break the silence first. "How are you so happy all the time and energetic?" Narissa went to answer but then stopped, finding that she wasn't really sure why she acted the way she did.

'I guess I've been putting up a front ever since I first started to care about Karen and Lachlan...' Narissa frowned as she thought about how she had been before she trusted them, constantly crying or scared. Narissa almost flinched as she remembered the days when it had been the worst, when she would lose the ability to care. Shaking her head Narissa sighed. "It's... complicated." Narissa frowned at how that sounded but nodded. "When I was younger... There was an incident." Narissa flinched but kept going, saying the words feeling like a great weight being lifted off her shoulders. "It... I couldn't cope... And after a while there were other people who cared enough about me to be worried... So I started pretending. To be happy." Narissa swallowed, her frown deepening as she looked at the ground in front of her. "And it made everyone else feel better. Eventually it just kinda became second nature..."

Shaking her head Narissa laughed softly, the sound more sad then joyful. "Sorry. I'm not usually such a depressing person to be around." A smile turned up the corners of Narissa's mouth as she looked over at David. 'Being around him is like being around Lachlan in a weird way... He's easy to talk to and nice, despite what everyone else thinks... And for some reason I keep wanting to relax around him... It's too easy to get lost in that. I shouldn't have told him so much... Narissa's smile got a bit brighter and she looked away.

He threw back on his pants at the least and gathered his shirt in his hand. The sun seemed to be beaming down strongly on him. Wherever Andy and Ajax were, he was sure they were having a ball but still Alex wanted to seek them out so he turned and followed a few paces behind. As much as he loved his sister, he didn't need to be around her that much. And they were new to each other. Still part of him was grateful for the escape after showing all that affection and kissing. This would make a good opportunity to shake it off. A better one, when Wes and Trinity were spotted in the distance.

Alex called out and jogged to Wes. Well she certainly shook it off. She was either really excitable, liked moving or a sucker infatuated with he and his Aphrodite charm. Daniel remained a few paces behind, letting the suggestive comment be Alex's to respond to. Hopefully the pair weren't that transparent with their little make-out episode. Wes burst into laughter. At the same time his eyes targeted Trinity and he shrugged. Alex hadn't even bothered to ask Daniel which would have offered a more efficient answer. In time, Wes supplied his answer then asked, "Why?... Something wrong?" Was something wrong?

He began walking slowly out wide from the group eyeing the fiery daughter of Ares to see if he had those sentinel warrior eyes on him. Daniel could make something go wrong very quickly. He walked until he was in distant line from her and took a step forward threatening to circle around them then smiled and stepped back instead. It was like gambling with a hell hound seeing if she'd follow his movements. It was exhilarating.

"How about Freddy this time?" his voice echoed to strictly Trinity. He looked between Alex and Wes and smiled. They had the whole hide-and-seek problem of who was where but Daniel could give the fighter the battle she craved. An exciting problem. He was tempted to give them all an exciting problem, And what got him more, if Trinity responded aloud she'd probably look a little unhinged.

DIALOGUE: #041e75

He furrowed his brows listening to Narissa's greek tragedy. Though she was sparing on the details he was betting it was a great big tragedy and misfortune for one young girl to bare. He'd feel sorry for her if it was in his capacity. But growing up with Hades and his own tragedy made him detached and cold. Nonetheless he conjured up a quiet, "Sorry to hear." He expected her to just like being perky no matter how tiresome it got. Or a method to friend making. But it was more of a method to life.

Eventually they reached the woods where Artemis' cabins were buried. "Sorry. I'm not usually such a depressing person to be around." Was this girl for real? She just justified herself and her need to be quirky and energetic and she apologizes for being depressing. He preferred her answer to something with more false sense of sunshine, daisies and marshmallows. "It's completely fine. I asked," he assured.

He gestured to the spread out cabins. "Are these anymore homie for you?"

After Narissa's multiple Thank yous', a Nice to meet you, a Good luck with all the cooking - Gods above, she could keep anyone on their toes apparently conversation wise - and Daniel's tight smile and nod of goodbye; Seraphina was finally 'free'. "I'll see you both later then," She hummed softly in simple farewell, and got on the move again... It did not take long, walking at an even pace and no one else on the trail to tell similar morning greeting's too, to reach the main building that housed the offices of the Camp Staff, the kitchens, and the 'mess hall' for the camp's meal times. It took far longer, however, after ignoring the light ache of her lower back to navigate the stairs up through the doors into the cafeteria and then into the kitchen, to move herself from her stunned frozen step across the boundary line as she observed the mess before her. Cookie dough had painted itself across a counter, cupboards, and floor tiles, and a shattered glass or plastic bowl lay in pieces under foot. Adrian already seemed to be handling it well enough, without need for intervention. Melissa seemed well, except for the faint tear tracks lining her cheeks, and was already offering to clean up her mess. So, Seraphina breathed an uneasy but relieved sigh, announcing her presence at the threshold with a genuine but gentle smile. "G'morning; Adrian, Melissa." She said lightly, her lips only slightly pursed. Before cautiously moving forward into the kitchen, watching her step, as she navigated across the debris with silent purpose to the large pantry to pile half of her bags there which consisted of non-perishables and placed the other half of perishables of meat or fresh vegetables/fruit unto a 'cleaner' corner of the counter until properly separated, divided, or cut up, and placed into refrigeration. She set herself to work, quietly putting things away into the organized pantry, quickly and efficiently - taking care to keep her muted curses about her height to a minimum, whenever she had to stretch to put something away.

OOC::|| @ UsernameGoesHere,
I don’t know if you still have Elsa Regions walking around the lake, but this is a response with Ilias’ as if she was still was.
Feel free to ignore, of course, if she has already finished her walk and has headed to the training grounds. Thank you~!



Ilias had a good morning so for, since, finally, reaching the ground. Orion and him had spent some time, ‘swimming’ in the shallows of the lakeshore nearby his mother’s cabin, before the pegasi was just too exhausted from the long journey they’d taken to continue going out to fetch the child whenever he’d gotten out into deeper water. The big black snorted, nudging gently at the small of the boy’s back, to continue moving him along – out of the swallow water, and unto the soft pebbled shore-line. Instead of pouting or causing a fuss, the boy had obliged. Upon reaching the dry shoreline, Orion had lied down, curling his limbs tightly underneath him but left his wings stretched out. Ilias observed with bright eyes, thoughtfully. "Scrub?” He finally gurgled, lake water still running down his chin from his soaked hair and hat. Orion flicked his ears in response, and it was an answer enough as the young boy wandered diligently away towards an old ice-chest nearby, and after cracking it open revealed a hearty handful of water toys, a first aid kit, and a bottles of what was probably sunscreen (but for him, it was close enough to shampoo for his needs). Ilias returned to the pegasi, with a sand castle bucket that he paused momentarily to fill with lake water and a bottle of ‘shampoo’ in hand, and set himself to work. If Orion had been any other color than black, Ilias might have accidentally dyed him a pinkish hue from using sunscreen as a shampoo. Regardless, the pegasi enjoyed the attention, snoozing peacefully and only opening a lazy yet watchful eye whenever Ilias left to get more water to wash him off… On one such trip, returning back to Orion, he noticed an approaching figure walking alongside the lake-shore. It wasn't anyone he immediately recognized from afar, or had been introduced to by his mother in the past weeks of her travels greeting new demigod families attending the Camp or one of the dourer funerals; but manners had been instilled, more or less (the terrible twos' had been rough, no doubt), in him by Seraphina' and so - A meaty fingered fist reached up to grasp his soggy hat and wave it a few times before plopping it back unto his dark mop, before calling out in greeting, "'Ello!" A small, crooked but friendly grin resting on his mouth.

David looked in the direction and shrugged. "Don't see why not." Narissa looked over at him just as David looked over and gave her a smile. "Buuuut, I think you've found your home. Seraphina's offer stands if this somehow fails. And you can always look for the extremely gloomy cabin if you need." Narissa chuckled and shook her head. "I gotta train. And I wish you luck in your home browsing with these ones." Narissa nodded as he set her bags down. "Of course, Thanks for the help. It was cool of you to show me around." Right before he walked away David gave her a tight smile and Narissa frowned a bit as she picked up the rest of her stuff. 'Wonder what the sudden change in demeanor was about...'

Shrugging Narissa walked forward on the path, following the cabin she had spotted out of the corner of her eyes as she looked for the path that led to it. A few more yards down the main path Narissa took a right onto a moderate sized path. As she walked she noticed a few other paths that lead to cabins mostly hidden by the trees. Pausing, Narissa stopped in front of the first narrow path leading to the right. Through the trees she could see a cabin with a tree coming out of the center of it. Shocked Narissa went down the path and and stopped momentarily in front of the cabin. Setting her bags down on the ground Narissa looked up into the tree, her eyes resting on the staircase up in fascination. Walking up to the door of the cabin Narissa knocked. Once, Twice, Three times, pausing between each set of knocks to listen for a response. Opening the door Narissa peaked in and, seeing no one opened the door wider, stepping into the cabin. Looking around the small but quaint cabin Narissa took the few more steps in to rest her hand against the tree trunk in the middle of the room, eyeing the staircase that wrapped around it going up.

Narissa didn't notice the other person until she had taken another few steps into the cabin. She was still staring up at the staircase and tree in amazement when the other demi-god spoke. "Well hello there." Jumping a bit Narissa's eyes flew to the other person in the room and she took a step back. Seeing the male shirtless with a toothbrush in hand and a smirk on his face, Narissa chuckled a bit, even as she looked him over appreciatively. Then, seeming to remember where she was and what she was doing she winced and gave him a sheepish smile. "I'm guessing this is your cabin?" She asked, taking another step back so that she was closer to the door. 'Good job Narissa, you managed to walk into the one cabin that was occupied. Hopefully he's not the type to freak out about it... he seems laid back enough...' Shaking her head, Narissa focused her attention back on the other person in the room.

Theo saw the girl eyeing him intently. He had to admit that she was pretty cute. He caught her eyes lingering over his shirtless body before she spoke. I'm guessing this is your cabin? she blushed as she asked. Theo didn't want her to be embarrassed. It had to be an honest mistake.

"Yeah... I just got here actually. Hold on." Theo scratched his head as he spoke. He walked back into the bathroom, spit out the toothpaste, and wiped his mouth. On his way back, he grabbed a shirt and threw it on. He smiled at the girl as he approached her again. "I was just about to go up and see the view. You're welcome to join me if you'd like." Theo ascended the staircase without looking back to see if she was following. He figured she would, and if not that was her loss.

"Yeah... I just got here actually. Hold on." The blonde scratched his head before turning and walking back into what looked to be the bathroom. Coming back out he grabbed a shirt and pulled it on as he walked across the room. "I was just about to go up and see the view. You're welcome to join me if you'd like." The blonde started up the staircase without a second glance as Narissa looked after him kind of surprised. For a moment she watched him from where she was, her mind at war. 'Well, at least he didn't get mad and throw me out...' Looking up the staircase he was still asencding Narissa bit her bottom lip and rocked back and forth on her heels. 'I should leave... It was rude of me to even barge in in the first place...' Narissa let her thoughts trail off as she smirked and quickly followed after, rushing up the stairs to catch up, a big smile on her face.

Stepping into the tree house Narissa looked around her fascinated before noticing the door out onto the deck. Looking up her eyes locked onto his and she blushed a bit as she smiled. "Okay so what's your name twinkle eyes?" Laughing at the pet name she walks up to the doorway that let out to the deck, not breaking eye contact and leaning against the frame. "My name is Narissa. It's nice to meet you..." She trails off, in equal parts due to not knowing his name and finally looking past him at the view. Her eyes widening Narissa took another step forward, slowly letting her gaze sweep across the breathtaking view. "River Styx..."

When he filled in her sentence Narissa didn't even notice, looking at the incredible view in awe. Turning towards Theo, who was on her left she went to speak but stopped. Out of the corner of her eyes she saw the lake and her breath caught in her throat. 'Shit...' Turning a bit more Narissa stared at the lake in shock, seeing how big it was in actuality was both horrifying and impressive. Shaking her head Narissa turned back to Theo as he spoke and smiled a bit, shoving her thoughts away from the water. "My name is Theo. And yes, it is quite the view isn't it?" Narissa nodded. "It's amazing. I've never seen anything like it before..." Giggling she shook her head. "Sorry for the trouble I've caused. Today's my first day." Narissa smiled sheepishly as she turned her back to the lake, trying to make the movement look natural by letting her gaze sweep the horizon once more.

Alex was all set, and she was excited a lot more now than she was before. She hadn't been to a beach party before, but her brother had told her about a couple he had been to, and they sounded like a lot of fun. Plus, Daniel was going to be there, her brother, and Wes. Her three most favorite guys on camp.

Hopefully the music wasn't going to be rap, that type of music really annoyed her because none of their lyrics made any sense at all, not to her at least. Anyway, she'd enjoy herself no matter what because no one likes a downer at a party. "Ready to head out?" she called out to her brother from outside his bedroom door. While waiting for him to respond, Alex made sure her makeup was looking alright in the mirror that hung on the wall in the lounge, and then checked her hair. She was looking G O R G E O U S.

"Ready to head out?"

Ajax finished up before heading out to where his sister was, his eyes looking her outfit over. "Al, bit short don't you think?" Alex rolled her eyes. It wasn't really short, but for brother standards it was as he would prefer her to be in a dress that covered her knees. "It's fine." Ajax wasn't convinced, but he dropped the subject and held out his arm for her. "If you say so. Lets go then before everyone starts having too much fun without us." They headed out the door together and began walking down towards the beach. They didn't need to lock their cabin up, because who exactly would want to climb a tall ass tree just to snoop around? yeah they had quite a lot of valuables, but surely no-one was dumb enough to steal from a Valis.

Anyway, they both soon arrived at the beach, and a couple of Demigods were already there with the campfire blazing. Drinks were on hand already, but there was no music or food yet. The staff would have it covered because Ajax could see one of the staff members in the kitchen when they passed it.

With or without Melissa's help...
One trip from the kitchen to the shore-line had only been enough for one basket of rolls and the drinks (alcoholic and not, from whiskey to apple juice there was something for everyone to enjoy one could hope) in their rolling ice-chests to make it there, and barely enough time to start a fire, and set up the tables, pillows, blankets around the fire but at enough of a distance to allow for dancing to occur. Seraphina had returned to the kitchens for the second trip to bring back most of the food - this, or that, or anything else in between - in their own travel containers stacked high but secure on a dented, rusty, and old radio flyer wagon; and retrieved from her office before locking it and heading out the door, 'J.E.F.F' - which was an old beat up stereo box some Hermes kid had stolen or a Hephaestus kid helped fix at some point in time, an Apollo kid (with some Hermes assistance) had acquired a couple mixed CDs (from all genres, to time-periods, and other things in between, a wide taste-basis anyhow) for it to rotate playing through during campfire nights, and no one really knew anymore what it's name' acronyms stood for anymore. "I think that's everything, Orion, Ilias, except..." She frowned for a moment, down at her own appearance thoughtfully. She'd spared herself the time in the morning before leaving the families' home of the demigod funeral she'd attended to get a shower, before leaving for groceries and to return home to camp finally after her two week long trip, so she was alright in that department; but her clothing was well travel-worn and she had not had the chance between arrival to setting up the campfire to change into something better serviceable for a party. Exhausted as she was from the long day so far, she still had one trick up her sleeve to solve that dilemma before anyone else saw her; a moment of concentration, and the clothing she studied shifted - the jacket, shirt, and pants changed into a beach-appropriate dress, the wrist watch became bangles, etc - the perks of 'camouflage'. She reached up to remove the African butterfly hair-clip that pinned up her hair into a messy bun, freeing the long curls and hopefully hiding her errant stray aways. "Ready." Orion snorted, before grasping the rope tied unto the handle, and began pulling; while Seraphina stayed beside the stacked food items, to keep their balance and keep them from falling; and Ilias brought up the rear, dragging an empty box behind him labeled 'shoes' (for those that preferred not to have sand in their shoes and socks, and could remove them at the separation of grass and sand if they wanted to).
<--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->


"Thank you Orion," Seraphina whispered as they arrived, and the black Pegasi nickered softly in return, before heading back into the shadows - more than likely to return to her cabin to graze, or nap - and would return later to help her clean up after the campfire. "Ilias, leave the shoe box there, and oh, here," She paused, slipping off her flats, that Ilias grasped in childish excitement to dunk into the box with his own tennies and socks with Nemo characters printed on them. "Now, you want to wait here? I'll come get you?" "Ook." Ilias hummed, as he sat down on his rump, picking at his shirt. While the boy was eager to meet and make new friends, the sheer amount of demigods already congregating (half of which were new that he hadn't meet yet, or didn't recognize right away in the darkness lit only by the campfire) made him nervous; and he liked the job of being 'in charge' of the shoe box... Seraphina knew him well enough, he'd prefer to wait for her return.

She grasped a armful of containers, before moving to one of the first nearby tables, that already had a couple demigods sitting around it - she already knew Daniel, and two others were new but she had probably met their mortal parents, had their paperwork in her office, and their names rattling around somewhere in her head - with a soft smile and nod of greeting, before getting down to business and began setting down and uncovering food items down upon it. It was quick enough work, "Ah. This feels spiritual. We should all hold hands and chant." "Or you could set up J.E.F.F... Unless sporadic shifts of spiritual silence and chanting suit your fancy better?" Seraphina murmured lightly in return, before breezing unto the next table - not patronizing, or demanding, but rather simply stating an obvious point gently. She'd get around to setting up the music eventually, but it would be a bit of time until then while she unloaded the little red wagon of food unto the tables. A quick mind could only get around so quickly with only having two hands...

"Alex." A Voice called out to her.

"Yeah?" Alex turned to look who was calling her name, and within seconds Trinity had wrapped her arm around her. "Have a drink with me. What's your poison?" Alex assumed she meant the Alcohol that the staff members had set up for them for tonight. "I've never really drank before.. what do you recommend?" Trinity was nice for a Daughter of Ares. It wasn't that Ares was a bad guy, it was just.. he was known for his blood lust and urges to go into war all the time. But anyway, she would be lying if she didn't admit to being confused right now. Alex and Trinity hadn't really spoken once since being here, but they did acknowledge each others existence from time to time, so that was something.

"I like fruits, but not oranges. Is there any fruity types of alcohol?" For some reason, Alex had the feeling that Trinity wasn't here to get to know the Thunder Girl, but to poke around about her best friend Wes. Of course Alex wouldn't mind helping her out if she was to question about him, because that's what Alex loves to do. She loves helping others.

His sister had been pulled away from him by the warrior blonde, leaving Ajax to wander off towards the beers before standing on his own for a moment as he looked around the campfire to see who else was here. Daniel was stood by himself just like him, so Ajax headed on over to him at first. He might as well talk to the one person in the world that his little sister chose to like. Personally, Ajax would of chosen someone else for her, but it wasn't up to him.

"Hey, Mr.Popular." He jokingly said, poking at Daniels loneliness. "I gotta ask.. what's your intentions with my sister? - just someone to have fun with, or do you actually have feelings for her?" what a conversation starter. Ajax was never good in that department if he was being honest. While waiting for Daniel to reply to him, he looked past him, and noticed that Andy was walking along the shore line by herself. He'd venture that way after he was done here. He took a drink from his bottle, but it was already empty, causing him to shake it a couple of times for a couple of drops that dripped out onto his tongue. He picked up another and opened it with no struggle at all, then offered one to Daniel. "Beer?"

After Adrian had left Melissa had cleaned up her mess in silence and made another batch of cookies to add to the ones already cooking. Melissa instinctively paying attention to everything going on in the room noticed that Seraphina had overloaded herself a bit. 'She should have asked Adrian to stay and help her... Making so many different types of food for so many people is going to be hard to keep up with...' During the time they were cooking Melissa tried to help a bit without Seraphina noticing; switching the trays of cookies just before the time went off, flipping burgers, and washing fruit, when her back was turned. Though Melissa doubted Seraphina didn't notice she felt better helping in small ways, unannounced. "Hey, Melissa, are you headed to the campfire tonight?" Though Melissa hadn't planned on going she was hungry so she figured she could go just to help carry stuff and then eat which is what she responded to Seraphina.

After helping carry everything she noticed Seraphina change but, after briefly looking at her clothing, decided her skinny jeans and black crop top were fine. Helping set up the bonfire area was easy and Melissa did so without being asked. Once everything was just right Melissa looked up and around to see that people had already started to show up, a few of them looking to have been there at least 5-10 minutes. Her gaze going from place to place Melissa noted her half sister in the crowd and the kids of Zeus as well. Satisfied with her work and knowing it would get crowded soon Melissa went to go stand by the bonfire, wanting a few moments before she forced herself to leave.

As she approached the large crackling fire she let her thoughts drift and didn’t even notice Wes until she was a few feet away. Her mind registering the sight of another person she immediately focused her thoughts only to visibly wince when she recognized the guy she had punched earlier. Despite the fact that he had to have seen her Melissa immediately turned on her heels, silently praying he would ignore her.

At Theo's mention of the bonfire Narissa immediately brightened up, excitement shining in her eyes. "Really? I didn't think this was the type of place I'd be able to party at. Who knew." When the part about it being on the beach registered Narissa made sure her expression and demeanor didn't change. Following after him once Narissa reached the bottom and saw him grab a shirt she realized that she had never checked out that cabin. "Shit... I might have to meet you there. I still haven't found a cabin." Shaking her head at herself Narissa headed towards the door, secretly glad she had found a way out of it. "I guess I'll see you around?"

█▐ ♔┊"Well Alex, I'm sure you already know this but I'm a son of Artemis. And yes I'm enjoying the party. I actually just got here. Mommy dearest made me come." as he made a face at the words mommy dearest, Alex chuckled and smiled with her pearly whites on show. How come I feel like I've met him before? his next question broke her from her thoughts. "Hey you want a drink? I grabbed strawberry and grape... or you could help me finish off my vodka" Alex wasn't too keen on the Vodka. She had tasted it once before, but it needed some flavor to it. "You're adorable.. I'll take the strawberry please." she took it from him gently. "Thanks, handsome." she clinked her bottle against his, and took a drink from it with a slight smirk to the corner of her lips as her eyes remained on Theo's.

She could feel her brothers eyes burning into her, judging her for flirting with someone else. Confusion was probably on his mind at this point, because didn't she like Daniel? Alex had been ignored when she passed, she wasn't Daniel's girlfriend, so why couldn't she flirt with another guy? Daniel and Alex had no intentions of being anything but 'a thing' - if he wanted to flirt with some other chick at camp, then he could. Alex didn't own him or anything. Though she probably would be jealous.

Wes had put his right hand up to his mouth to grab Alex's attention. She turned to look at him, and saw him waving his hand for her to go towards the fire. "You coming, Theo? I heard truth or dare is going to be played. You can sit by me if you want to." she was excited for this game already, but a little worried about the truths. There was no way she was going to over share with the group. Some things had to remain secret.

Alex gently took Theo's hand, and lead him towards the campfire to join in the game with everyone else. Hopefully this was going to be all kinds of dares and truths. Alex was a daredevil just like her brother, so there was probably going to be no dare she wouldn't do. If they asked her to strip naked!? bring it on.

"Al, are you game?" her brother asked her once she was there, her hand still holding Theo's. "Hell yeah."

█▐ ♔┊Ajax had to admit, he wasn't liking how Theo took an interest in his little sister, and that Alex was flirting with him. Ajax heard that Theo was a bit of a womanizer. He expected it from Wes with him being the son of Aphrodite, so he had no choice to be that way.. but he wasn't Alex's father, and he couldn't tell any guy what to do, but if anyone hurt her!? then they'd soon learn and know the wrath of Zeus.

Ajax now knew that he preferred Daniel for Alex over anyone, because at least Daniel wasn't all over other women. He may be a little playful e.t.c, but his complicated feelings were for Alex mainly. "Hell yeah" she had replied to him, causing Ajax to smirk. His sister was always up for a challenge like him, and that in itself was a challenge because they would try outdo each other every time with practically anything. It had always gone on since they were kids.

Ajax left Daniel with Andy after giving her a smile, and wandered towards the campfire before taking his seat near Alex who was now waving Wes over to come sit with her and Theo. He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the Hade's kids making their way over. He wasn't happy about their presence, but having them participate was going to make it even better. "So who's first? and is everyone here?" Ajax shouted while looking around at everyone gathered at the campfire so far. He was slightly drunk already, but at least he wasn't too drunk like a few years back when Alex had to look after him.

As Melissa took another swig from her bottle she noticed her sister lean closer to her. "You punched that guy?" Trinity asked in a quiet tone as she nodded her head at him. Flinching internally Melissa tried to keep her face blank as she responded in an equally low tone. "Yeah... He didn't really deserve it though. I overreacted." Melissa fell silent after that and took another drink, done with the topic when so many people were around to overhear. "Alex my dear friend. Thank god you wore a dress." Wes winked at Alex and Melissa watched him warily, knowing nothing good was going to come from a start like that. [b]"I dare you... To remove your panties and hand them off to whomever of your choosing." Melissa almost lost her cool, taking a drink from her bottle to keep from allowing a change in her facial expression. Internally Melissa didn't know if she had been about to smirk or frown but either way she knew that her near slip in composure was due to the alcohol.

While Melissa was no light weight, in fact being able to drink far more than most would estimae by her body mass, alcohol mellowed her out. While usually she would be extremely against being around so many people when she let her gaurd down Melissa knew that she was not the only one drinking and therefore wasn't much more vulnerable than she was usually. Melissa tried to block out the whole underwear exchange, focusing on slowly emptying her bottle. She was about halfway there when they finished and the tables were turned on Alex who had only momments ago made a comment about not being called on. A small smile graced Melissa's lips as she recognized the irony in the situaton and heard Daniel and Andy snip at eachother. "...Dare" Melissa went to go take another drink from her bottle but gasped mid drink at the dare given to Andy causing her to choke and spit a mouthful of vodka, making sure to hit sand and not another person, as she coughed violently. While she was used to the normal burn of vodka choking on the liquid made her throat feel like it was on fire. Taking a deep breath Melissa shot a pointed, half-hearted glare at Alex.

Viviane joining the group provided a momentary distraction from Melissa's outburst. Just as she was turning back to look at her half sister Melissa saw Andy lean forward and kiss Trinity. Without a word Melissa grabbed the bottle of vodka, now only a third full, and chugged the remains. 'This game is going to be the death of me if I'm not at least buzzed.' AFter she had finished the bottle she stuck it neck down into the sand. pausing she thought she heard laughter coming from behind her, the direction the woods were in, but after hearing no further sounds assumed she had imagined it. Knowing her limits, Melissa held off on opening the other bottle of liquor. While she could drink it like water, vodka was still a pretty strong drink and Melissa knew getting wasted during the game would probably be worse then playing sober. Deciding to focus on the game, forcing herself to think of it as nothing other than a game and not a chance to screw up, Melissa watched to see what David's choice would be.

"Yeah sure." After Theo responded Narissa grabbed her luggage, which she had left a few feet away from the door, and headed back to the path. Making sure not to stray from her original plan she headed towards the tree-hidden Cabin she had seen before. Reaching what seemed to be the end of the path there was a sudden break in the trees and a small clearing opened up in front of Narissa. The cabin was a bit big, hinting a a spacey interior but in was definitely uninhabited. After entering the cabin Narissa knew without a doubt it was to be her new home. The interior was open and the furnishings gave it a homey feeling. After a quick exploration of the house Narissa found what she assumed to be the master bedroom and set her stuff down on the bed.

Fifteen minutes later Narissa was starting to get fidgety. The fact that she knew a party was happening and she wasn't there was killing her but at the same time she really didn't want to be anywhere near the lake. As her annoyance and exsaperation increased her rationalism disapated and she decided to at least go see what everyone was up to. Changing into something more appropriate Narissa then headed back the way David had led her, stopping where the trees of the forest met the sand from the lake beach. Leaning against a tree Narissa watched as one girl took off her panties and handed them to a cute guy. The same girl then turned to a brunette in their circle. "Truth or Dare?" At the words Narissa couldn't help but smile, memories of her past experiences with the game temporarily distracting her. At the sound of laughing Narissa snapped out of her daydreaming and looked back at the group just in time to see on blonde girl recover from choking and the brunette kissing the blonde girl next to the first in the circle.
Narissa couldn't help but laugh as the brunette bowed to the person who gave her the dare. Clasping her hand over her mouth Narissa took a step back further into the shadows of the woods and hoped no one had heard her. For a moment she contemplated leaving before she got caught but then she saw the brunette turn to David. "Truth of Dare?" With a wicked smile Narissa leaned against the tree once more and watched, intrigued as to what the son of Hades would pick. 'This should be entertaining...'

█▐ ♔┊"Hey now... Underwear that pretty should be on display.

Alex shook her head with a smile and laughed. Such a smart-ass who always has something to say. That was one of Wes's traits that she liked about him along his personality. Alex tends to make sure she wears pretty underwear everyday, and it wasn't so some lucky guy can see them, it was just for her to feel happy about wearing nice things. "Thanks?" she chuckled, before turning her attention to Andy.

"You can't say sorry after giving the dare..." Alex smiled and shrugged softly before being flipped the bird which made Alex laugh even more. "I'd expect a dare like this from Wes, but not you."

"Right? but I think he rubs off onto me at times" she joked, giving a glace to him, then laughed and smiled once more before her eyes were back on Andy. Her sides were aching from just the beginning of this game for laughing so much, and there was still more people to be asked yet. Andy did well on her dare, and when the female bowed to her!? Alex smirked while clapping. "Well that was nice." Wes added when he saw the dare, but she knew that inside his head he had more than just, 'Well that was nice' going on up there.

When Andy picked David, she almost choked on her drink that she began drinking with her right shoulder gently leaning against Wes's left shoulder for support. It felt comfy, but she shot up while coughing on the liquid that had gone down the wrong way, even Ajax spun around to listen. David picked dare, and Alex was hoping that Andy wouldn't get her own back by asking Alex to kiss her one enemy at Camp. Even if he was handsome, it didn't stop Alex from hating him, or for wanting to fry his ass.

█▐ ♔┊During David's lap dance on Narissa, Alex thought he wasn't too bad at it. She wasn't a pro at dancing or anything, that was just her opinion, but she still hated his guts. It wasn't long before she looked away, her eyes now on Wes who she had noticed a change of mood wash over him. He was tense in his seat. Her eyes followed to where he was looking, and she could see that Theo had wandered on over to Trinity. Now she knew what was going on with her bestie. Even though he wasn't her boyfriend, he truly liked her, so he had the right to be jealous. Maybe Theo knew Wes liked her, so now he was getting his own back for the cock blocking. Who knows.

While keeping her gaze on Theo, she spoke to Wes who remained beside her. "I wouldn't worry.. you're everything he's not." she now turned her gaze on Wes. "Trinity isn't the type of girl who is easily swayed by just any guy. She is the daughter of Ares, and that makes her tougher than coffin nails." even though she was saying it to comfort him, those words were the truth. One gift from being the Daughter of Zeus, was knowing about others like their father did. He did after all create the other Gods, but not Hades, or Poseidon.

After a while she was looking at Daniel. He was having fun, and didn't even seem to really notice her as far as she knew. Earlier he had ignored her, or maybe he hadn't heard her!? either way, it hurt a little to not be noticed by the one you like the most on Camp. She drank her beer, then placed it down on the sand by her feet before folding both of her arms as she waited for the game to move on to someone else.

█▐ ♔┊"Shush, not when your eating..." Ajax watched the little boys reaction to his mums words. He looked embarrassed, but Ajax didn't mind. He rubbed the little guys back. "Any help with clean-up or walking back the newbies (quite possible not accustomed to the amount of alcohol the seniors could shovel) would be greatly appreciated." "I'll help you clean up a couple of things, that's no problem" he smiled. "Hey, little guy.." Ajax crouched down to his level so he didn't look so intimidating. "If it's okay with, mummy, how about I show you something real cool tomorrow, huh?" Ajax had to do something for him, because a Camp like this really wasn't a place for his age, but he didn't question Sera about it. Not once. That was her business, and her business alone.

Ajax couldn't believe that David was grinding up on the new girl. Hopefully she wouldn't be too freaked out to the point of wanting to pack and leave already. She hadn't been here long. Literally. Once done with cleaning up a little for Sera, Ajax headed on over towards Andy after downing another drink. He was drunk for sure. "Hey, beautiful!" he called out to her while taking off one of the other demigods hats as he passed, and placed it on his head while dancing sexily towards her to tease her. He was even taking off his shirt like a male stripper, showing off his toned, muscular and tanned body. He tossed his shirt to the side which landed on someones head, and once close enough to Andy!? He took off the hat, placed it on her head, and began to do a little dance right there on the spot, "Boom!" He shouted, then began laughing with a grin.

"Okay, dare, I guess." Narissa couldn't help but smile a little at the simple, yet dangerous if the previous dares had anything to say about it, answer. She then watched as the brunette stalled, assuredly trying to think of a good dare for the son of Hades. "I dare you to give someone... anyone a lap dance." Narissa couldn't help the fit of giggles she burst out into, stepping a few feet back so that she would be less visible. 'Oh my god this should be good...' Looking back towards the bonfire Narissa was startled to see David walking up to her. "Come on. Poseidon's kids don't blend into shadows." Narissa frowned as he gestured towards the fire but didn't get a word out before he took her hand and led her towards the fire. 'This is just my luck... Maybe I should have stayed at my cabin after all.' Shocked that David had picked her at all and her mind in chaos she zoned out a bit. "Sorry." Narissa was startled back into reality when David spoke to her and watched as he gave her a small smile before removing his jacket. Noticing the chair behind her she sat down just as David wrapped his jacket around her neck. As he started his dare Narissa couldn't help but smile despite her situation at his attempts to keep from touching her. As David started to laugh as he danced Narissa's smile widened and she giggled a bit as well. "Welcome to camp." Relaxing a bit she spoke in a teasing tone, her attention focused fully on him as he took another sip from his drink. "You know, I think this is more awkward for you than it is for me."

As David seemed to lose some of his tension he got closer occasionally brushing up against her. She was surprised when he tilted her face to look him in the face and softly sang a few lines of the song. "Got time but I don't mind. Just wanna rock you girl." He smiled at her and her eyes widened a bit, a blush creeping across her face. A few moments later he got up, taking his jacket with him and turned to the brunette who had given him the dare. "Now if that qualifies...?" Narissa swallowed a bit and looked around the group, starting to shake off a bit of the shock. Realizing she was flustered Narissa couldn't help but chuckle. 'Well this is a new perspective... Maybe I shouldn't be such a tease...' Narissa smirked and shook her head as if to tell her self, 'No, I'm fine'. "Hey beautiful!" The sudden shouting caused Narissa to get an eyefull of a certain stripping camper. Raising an eyebrow she followed the guys gaze to the same brunette who had dared David. Unable to help herself she watched the event in moderate interest for a moment until the sudden movement of another guy at the bonfire caught her attention. As he sat down to an oddly familiar looking girl Narissa watched the two until he made a mention of the little mermaid. Slightly surprised Narissa got up and walked over to the two, sitting down next to the girl but far enough that, if they didn't want to, they wouldn't need to acknowledge her.

"Really?" Melissa chuckled as she watched David sigh and got to get a beer. "Okay, dare, I guess." Melissa watched as Andy contemplated the options. "Alright... I dare you... to... I dare you to give someone... anyone a lap dance." Laughing Melissa watched as David circled the group before walking towards the line of trees. Surprised she turned and watched as he lead a unknown blonde to the circle. 'I knew that I heard something from that direction...' Silently Melissa watched David and the blonde. Melissa watched as David turned to the two children of Hecate, the startled girl in tow. "Would one of you mind, please?" Without hesitation Daniel conjured a chair and some music and David started. At first she was close to laughing at how stiff the son of Hades was but then he loosened up and showed to have a bit of skill. 'He's not bad looking...' All too soon David stepped away and turned back to Andy."Now if that qualifies...?" Just a moment later Trinity turned to her, speaking earnestly. "I think I need to stop drinking." Before Melissa could answer a new guy walked over with drinks and sat on the other side of her sister. With a brief wary glance at him Melissa decided he was harmless and focused her attention on the newest spectacle of Ajax stripping. The spectacle lost her attention quickly, moving on to watch some of the seating choices switch but as people settled in that lost her attention as well. With a sigh Melissa reached for the bottle in her lap. "So apparently seduction isn't my strong suite as much as it is his." Melissa raised her eyebrows a bit and thought to herself. 'Don't underestimate yourself too much...'

As she opened the bottle of peach vodka David sat next to Daniel and she focused in on their conversation. "So do I still pick someone-" Daniel responded to David's question so quickly he cut him off. "Please." David's response was dragged out as his gaze roamed the group. "Okay..." As his eyes settled on her Melissa narrowed her gaze. 'Don't you da-' "Melissa. Truth or dare?" 'Son of a bitch....' Bringing her newly opened bottle to her lips she took a long pull from it and then looked David right in the eyes, a wicked grin on her face. Somewhere in the back of her mind Melissa heard alarm bells going off, telling her to keep acting indifferent, but the alcohol was starting to get to her. "Well usually I wouldn't back down from a challenge but everyone seems to be picking dare... I'll go with Truth."

"And shall I call you Loki? Considering you enjoying meddling with others." Narissa couldn't help but giggle at the nickname. When she looked up again Narrise noticed the girl smiling at her and she gave a bright smile of her own. During the few moments they stared at each other Narissa studied her face, trying to place her finger on why the girl looked so familiar. As the brunette focused back on 'Loki' Narissa stared at her still. The two only exchanged a few more words before the brunette turned to look at her again. Caught staring Narissa smiled hesitantly before turning to look as a new addition to the party yelled out his arrival."Hello fellow camp mates! I've brought refreshments!"

The realization hit her like a brick, causing her to blurt out her thoughts. "Holy Shit! She looks just like Lachlan!" A few looks were thrown at Narissa and she ducked her head down, hoping no one who knew her brother was at the party. 'He graduated two years ago, I doubt anyone here knows or remembers him... But that girl...' Narissa looked at the brunette's back as she talked to the guy who just arrived. 'That must mean that she's...' Narissa stared at her half-sister's back in shock and surprise.

"Plot twist" Melissa chuckled and took a drink from her bottle as David mulled over his options. As she let her attention drift Melissa focused back on her sister and the guy who was flirting with her. "So does that mean you're a returnee? Or just...above us." Melissa looked the guy over, searching her alcohol addled mind as to he was new or not. 'Nope... He's definitely new.' "Who? Me? Na, I'm not above anyone. I just don't like routine and organization, ya know? Plus mummy dearest didn't inform me that there would be gorgeous girls like you here." Melissa coughed on air as she tried not to laugh at his obvious flirting. While he definitely wouldn't be the first to flirt with Trinity he obviously didn't know much about the other demigods. Telling a child of Ares might give you a point or two towards ego but it wasn't all that important.
"Hello fellow camp mates! I've brought refreshments!" "He with you?" Melissa looked in the direction the yell came from and started giggling. While there wasn't anything particularly funny about him or his statement Trinity's response to him was seemingly hilarious. "Nope never seen the guy before..." "Okay...hate to put you on the spot but I love it." Melissa's attention snapped back to David at his words. As he spoke Melissa's giggling died down and she took note of the grin on his face with unease. 'A child of Hades smiling at me? Let alone that it's David. This can't be good... "In order of lowest to highest, list the demigods on this beach now, you'd go out with. Or feel even remotely attracted to."

Before logical thought could take hold Melissa spoke to David, smirking at him. "David if you wanted to know if I liked you, you could have just asked." The teasing tone of her voice almost even surprised her. Most of her own friends had left camp the previous year to either train or live normal lives for the time being and she usually never gave people she didn't consider a friend the time of day. This being so others who have been in camp with her have rarely seen her act like anything other than a bitch. Her mind coming back to the present Melissa looked around the group in contemplation. "You know, technically those are two different questions but I'll let it slide." Her eyes got a wicked gleam in them and she laughed. "In fact, I'll answer them both." She knew that David had expected her to be unwilling or at least disgruntled but as she was starting to realize Melissa was too drunk to care. "It's nice to loosen up for once..." Taking a sip from the bottle in her lap she looked over the group again before meeting David's eyes. ”Being honest I’m extremely picky about who I date because dating means getting close to people and I obviously am not the best at that.” Thinking of her interaction with Wes that morning she raises her bottle and nudges her head in his direction before taking a drink from it. ”Case in point. Either way if I had to put everyone into a list lowest to highest based on whether I would date them….”

Melissa finally set down the bottle, looking around the campfire before pointing to her sister. ”Triney is number one, can’t date your sister. I mean unless you’re into that” Melissa cast a wide eyed, completely fake, apologetic look at David before grinning again. ”Sera would be second with Ajax as a close third. I don’t think I could deal with Mama and Papa Camp Athens as a partner, no matter how much I get along with them. Andy would be fourth, not really my type… too nice from what I’ve seen. The blonde you just molested would be fifth. Seems a bit catty but I’m not really one for mood swings. The brunette, Viviane I think? She would be sixth. Seventh would be the guy flirting with my sister closely followed by the guy who brought more booze. Jenn would be ninth, Daniel tenth, and Wes would be eleventh. And you would be twelth with Ajax’s kid sister being thirteen. She’s cute and fiesty. Plus I’ve always had a thing for brunettes.” Grabbing her bottle she took a quick drink from it before continuing.

"As for pure Sexual attraction from Lowest to Highest would be Sera, Ajax, Andy, the blonde you just molested, Viviane, Daniel, Jenn, the guy flirting with my sister, Trinity, Ajax's kid sister, the guy who just brought more booze, Wes, and you, David.” Melissa then stood up quickly, almost falling over, and took a bow. ”Complete!” As she rose Melissa winked at David before laughing and sitting back down.

█▐ ♔┊"It'll happen. Everyone deserves that kind of love."

Alex didn't want to bring the games down with her negative opinion, so she kept her thoughts to herself, yet nodded to show that she was listening to him. Alex couldn't really have an opinion on love anyway, because she had never felt that with anyone with being too focused on her life. She wanted to do well, to make her father proud. Since being at Camp Athens, she had made the wrong choices to grab a boys attention, but it was too late to take anything back now. She'd have to roll with it, then accept the outcome of her actions.

After kissing Wes, they slowly parted, her eyes looking up to him while hoping he wasn't feeling freaked out or anything. "I've been told Aphrodite's kids are the best kissers... You may have wished you didn't do that." Wes winked at her teasingly, before retaking his original position, moving his hands from her face. His joking nature was good, because it let her know that he was cool with it, that it didn't bother him. She smiled. "You're definitely not a bad kisser." she told him, and chuckled as she rubbed her arm with her hand gently. "I think it worked..." He nodded his head in Daniel's direction, causing Alex to look over. Maybe she shouldn't of done it, because what if it made Daniel think she liked every guy? she doesn't though. She's faithful, and loyal. Wes added, "If I get my ass kicked by Daniel or your brother... I'm coming after you!" He pointed at her in a teasing but threatening manner which made Alex grin a little. "Don't worry, Romeo, you're safe. I'll take all the blame.. I promise." and she would too, because Wes wasn't the one who kissed her, so by default it wasn't his fault.

Some random guy had come up to her and began to call her a slut while she got a drink from the table where the refreshments were. She didn't want to start arguing though, because she knew for a fact something bad would happen for that loser. But not long after, Ajax was being rough with him and shouting in the guys face. To save herself from doing something stupid, and to make sure no-one saw her crying.. Alex took off away from the Camp, and headed towards her cabin.

She knew that her actions would cause something like this, she knew that some people wouldn't understand, but then again.. what she did with guys on Camp didn't exactly look right. She did look like she was being a guy hopper. Calling her a slut though was way out of line, because she wasn't exactly sleeping around, so that insult was stupid.

█▐ ♔┊"Not even for your shirt?" Andy grinned. Such a beautiful cheeky woman. This time she took his shirt, leaning over towards him and resting it upon his shoulder before lightly patting his chest. "Sorry for taking you away from the party. You can go back if you want." She told him while removing her hand. Ajax looked towards the Campfire, and shook his head. "It's cool.. I need to sober up before I head back over. I'm going to be a laughing stock if I carry on drinking. I got a reputation to hold." and he did. He was suppose to be the most mature guy on Camp.

Just as he had put his shirt back on, some random guy was heading on over to them. He looked annoyed. "Aj, do us a favor, mate, and keep that little slut of a sister of yours on a tighter leash." that was it. Party over for Ajax. He grabbed the guy by the front of his shirt, and began shouting in his face. "MY WHAT? MY WHAT?!!" he growled. The guy was stupid to start this, especially since Ajax was now 10 seconds away from either punching his face in, or frying him with how much anger was surging through him. "Your little sister." he quickly corrected. Ajax shoved him back, causing the guy to stumble. "That's right. My little sister." He remained close, his eyes dangerously locked on the Apollo kid. "You want to say something else? go ahead. I dare you." he growled.

The brunette turned to look at Narissa and just blurted out what was obviously on both their minds. "Are you my sister? You have to be, you look just like da-Poseidon." At the mention of their father Narissa flinched and sighed. 'You jerks... You both knew...' She thought, thinking of her half-brother and father. Getting up Narissa headed over to the girl. Giving the girl an easy smile she held out a hand in greeting. "Hi. My name's Narissa. Nice to meet you."

"Thank you for sharing Melissa." Melissa returned the smile David gave her. "And thank you for the ego boost in the process and shutting down others. It means a lot." She though she heard him continue but she got distracted by a sudden burst of activity. Returning her gaze to him she half chuckled, half giggled. "Anytime Sweetheart."

Letting her attention wander Mel got an eyeful of Wes and Alex kissing and laughed. "Well shit. That was quick, even for a son of Aphrodite." As David shouted at Daniel Mel bite her bottom lip. "That kid really got the shit end of that stick huh?" Mel returned her attention to Alex and Wes to see them part, Wes going after Trinity and Alex going to grab something to eat or drink. When Wes threw Trinity over his shoulder Melissa jumped up but Trinity didn't seem to be fighting him and it was extremely amusing she she decided to just laugh. 'I'll make sure to figure out what that was about later. Trinity:0 Wes:1. When the kid of Apollo called Alex a slut Melissa's attention snapped over to the two of them. Anger flared through her and she immediately got a bit more sober. Despite that she went off after Alex quickly, displaying that she was definitely still buzzed at the least. She hesitated a moment at the line of the trees but saw the same guy walk up to Ajax and make a comment. By the look on Ajax's face the guy was taken care of. Without a second thought, or a first one for that matter, Melissa bolted into the forest after Alex.

"I'm Viviane, but please call me Viv." Narissa's smile widened a bit but she remained silent, just looking at the girl. There were alot of thoughts going through her head but before she could organize the mess in her head Viviane spoke up. "So did you know that I existed or if we have any other siblings?" Narissa smirks and shakes her head before sighing. "No I didn't know about you but we both have a half brother. His name's Lachlan and he's older than us by a few years. He actually came here a few years ago for a few summers but... Well he doesn't have the best relationship with our dad..."

As she trailed off Narissa looked over to see David approach them. "Sorry if I'm interrupting. Did you find a cabin in the end?" Narissa went to respond but Viviane seemed to suddenly pull back a bit. "I'm gonna head over to my cabin... If you have any questions or just want to talk, I'm right by the lake. Your cabin is probably there too. Don't be afraid to reach out!" Narissa watched as Viviane waved and then went off towards the lake. Realizing how close the lake really was Narissa blanched a bit and turned back to David quickly. "I did find a cabin in the end thanks." As he smiled and turned to leave Narissa hurried off towards the direction she thought her cabin was in.

As she approached the treeline she tried to figure out where exactly she had come from but was unable to figure it out. With a shrug Narissa walked into the woods. "The camp can't be THAT big. I'm sure I'll find the Artemis cabins fairly quickly... I hope." Narissa giggled, thinking she should have left a trail of bread crumbs.
