Camp Half-Blood discussion

((Please don't get mad at me for making this! We needed it and no mods were on. You guys forgot to make it.))

((Umm I'm here...but okay...))

((Oh... Well it said you were off, and I was like 'Darn it!'. Cause I just got back from the hospital.))

Layla played spoons with Argus and another camper who had a broken neck. She won for the first time. "Score! This is so much fun!" she exclaimed. "Noel would like it too," she mumbled to herself. Argus gave her a questioning look, then went back to shuffling the cards.

((Oh haha are you okay??!))

((Yeah, but my uncle isn't. He got in a motorcycle accident last night, and he's got broken ribs, his brain is bleeding, and his lungs have a hole in them. I didn't get to see him, but my mom did. Stupid uncle. He never wears a helmet...))

((Oh my god....I'm so sorry!!! D,X ))

((Its ok! Really. I never get tot see him that much, anyways...))

((AAahhhh 0-0
I'm sorry, you have m-my condolences... ))

Noel had come to the Big House to see if Layla was there, with his hands in his pockets he scanned the area slowly. He didn't realise how tired he was, his violet eyes were still dim and dark lines rimmed under his eyes.

Layla saw him. "Hey, I think you should get some rest," she said to the camper. He agreed and Argus left, with the boy. "Hi, Noel," she said kindly. "Whats up?" she said calmly.

((Its ok, guys. I'm fine. :) ))

((Oh, good, I meant your uncle thoguh. You talk as if you're ok ^^))

"Nothing much, you look nice," he smiled damply, "Rocking that cast I see." He stood next to the bed.

((Yeah, I mean its happened a lot.))

She bit her bottom lip. 'Does he like me?!' she thought. She looked up at him, and met his violet eyes. They looked tired and worn. "You look tired. Do you need to sit down?" she said, pointing to the rocking chair next to the bed.
She smiled and watched him sit down. His eye lids looked like they were going to drop. If he was going to fall asleep, she would too. She hoped he wouldn't sing to her, because then she would definitely fall asleep.
She was holding a book. It looked old and tattered. She was also holding a pencil. She was making new designs for weapons and other stuff.
She looked back up at him, their eyes meeting.

((Sorry... Had to do somethingfor a while...))

"Whatchya doin'" He leaned over and looked at the book, his eyelids had grown heavy but he wasn't gicing in. He had felt worse before, he just smiled, She's drawing? He liked the color of her eyes, they were... normal.

Her rusty brown eyes, looked down at the book. "Oh this?" she said holding it up. "Its just my weaponry book. It has all my designs and ideas." she said.

"Oh yeah," his eyes brightened up a bit, "I keep foregetting that Hephestus isn't just about fire..." He looked at one of the drawings in particular, "That one's nice." He himself chose to stick to a much simpler muse. Maps... It was weird, but he always liked copying the maps in the Atlases at school.
Or at least, when he got a chance to go to school, or the library.

She showed him a map. "Its a map of Circe's Island. Isn't it great?" she said, in awe. A picture of the island slipped out.

Noel marveled at the map and nodded, he saw a picture on the floor and picked it up, "You've been there?" He gave her the photo without looking at it much, he didn't want to be rude.

"No. But I know people who have. I'm to scared to go there. Heard there's trouble," she said. A shiver ran up her back, and she slipped farther down into the sheets of her bed.

The blonde nodded, his smile simmered down a bit after he saw Layla shake, "You ok?" He knew she had broken her leg or something but usually people don't like being hospitalized.
Hey, at least you didn't kill this one, Noel shoved the memory of unblinking eyes and a pale face away.

"Yeah," she said. "Just a little cold." she responded. "I should be asking you. You don't look so good."

He smiled, "Are you kidding me, I may look weak, but I've got a heart of a bull," he clapped his chest for enphasis. He rested his elbows on the side of the bed as he leaned closer to look at the book, "So how long have you been drawing, you're good."

She smiled. "Since I was an infant. I knew how to draw right as I was born," she laughed.

"Woah, really? I guess I've spotted another hidden talent then," He had wondered about this.
Most times when the demigods find out they have powers they usually discount the simple abilitites that they get. Like for Hephestus. The kids usually focus on building things in under a minute and using fire, the Apollo kids sing or play instruments among other things... The Mars kids... well, don't get him started ont he mars kids...
Himself, he wasn't sure about his dad. He knew that it was better for Hypnos kids to go to bed than fight sometimes, but that was about it... He didn't know why his dad lead him to a dagger. Especially that dagger.

"Are you ok? You don't seem ok. You actually seem... nervous." she said. She smiled.

"It's the nervousness of aexcitement..." He shook his head and sighed, "Ok, that sounded lame." His violet eyes glanced out the window and he smiled, the birds were out. It was morning now.
He had left the forest and had gone to his cabin to change. He didn't think to find Layla here, he thought she was in the Big House, or whatever they called here; he shifted his weight to another foot.
"Hey, you ever wished you didn't have any of your powers? I know being a hephestus kids is sort of cool, nt being able to be burnt, master of the flickering flame, and all that... among other things..." he gave his normal smile, his eyes bright in thought, "but like... If you had a choice. Would you choose to have your powers?" Platinum blonde hair covered half his face to his strong jaw.

((Might not comment for a while, parents are delayed for a bit, so I'm gonna take my chance to go crazy ^^ Later, for a bit xD))

"I don't know. it would take a lot of thinking on that question..." she said.

Noel nodded, "Undertood." He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Layla? Can I tell you something?"
As soon as he finished the last word of that question alrm bells went off in his head, he ignored them regardless. He kept his eyes closed as he felt the sinlight throught he glass that it shine through.
It's warm, and it's nice...
For the second time being here, he wished he could fall asleep...

"Yeah," she said. "You know you can tell me anything," she smiled. She felt the sunlight pour in. It felt good on her skin.

Argus came in, half dragging Elise. He'd found her coughing ash on her way to the bathroom. "It's normal demi-titan stuff!" she protested, but he pulled her along by her wrist.

She glared at Layla. The last thing the girl had said was that she hated Elise. And she'd thought then that Elise was her half sister. She'd hate her worse when she found that they weren't tied by blood.

Argus checked Elise's vitals, then rang a bell. The centaur, Chiron, came in. "I don't believe we've met, half-blood."

"I'm Elise." She didn't add her parentage, but that was the Centaur's next question. What would he do when he found out that she wasn't a god's child? "Prometheus," she whispered.

Draco walked in nursing a severely bruised face, several cuts around his body, and bruises all over his arms, " Oh hello there" he said surprised to see Elise

She looked embarrassed. Chiron glanced up. "Get him some nectar. Elise, what do you mean, Prometheus?"

She shrugged. "He claimed me. What are you going to do?"

((we can co-be Chiron))

(( kk))

Chiron sighed and moved closer to Elise. " Please explain more Elise"

Draco flinched violently as a few people came towards him with ambrosia and nectar

"I came to camp, figuring I was Hephaestus. I got claimed by Prometheus. Not much else to say. I blew up Medusa, though."

Random golden disk comes flying out of nowhere

Elise ducked. "What in the world is that?!" Chiron exclaimed, just as the Hellhounds burst in.

"I am so sorry, I was just playing with my hellhound, and some friends"

Elise looked relieved. "Will you please tell the horse I'm fine?"

"chiron, she probably is, watch" he lit her on fire, she healed almost imeadeatly

"It's the ash, it comes after I over-exert myself. It's normal."

Chiron cleared his throat. "That doesn't mean it's healthy. And Promethius... Yes, his one day of Parole... it must have happened then..."

"don't worry, anything happens I'll be there, even if I have to give her some fire"

Elise nodded. "And it's called Camp Half-Blood, not Camp Half-god. That in itself implies that I can stay."

Chiron looked uneasy. "If Zeus knew you existed..."

"if zeus does anything he might have to go against half the camp that stands behind her, and our parents" then thinking of another all out war of the gods, titans, and giants

Chiron scoffed. "And he'd step into that all too quickly. Stay. But do not advertise your presence, not to the gods."

Elise flushed, remembering her first outburst at the dining pavilion. "Yeah, I'll keep my head down." She hopped off the bed.

"that's not gonna be easy, since having to destroy medusa more than a few times"

"What happened?" Chiron asked, dreading the answer. "She said she blew up Medusa, one of Athena's works."

"she's back from tartrurus, and won't go back that easy"
