Vanessa was awake with the sun, as per usual. Of course, not many would have known this non-ceasing early wake-up habit of hers, just because she was up this early didn't warrant her, in her opinion, a reason to leave her cabin except on the rare occasion she would watch the beautiful sunrise that graced its presence over Camp Half-blood's horizon. This morning wasn't one of those special mornings though. 

She gives a sigh, running a hand through her orange hair, probably the most vibrant part of the already changed Vanessa between her black top, dark denim blue jeans and light skin. She rolls her shoulders looking up from the book she was reading to pass the time, or attempting to at least. Her mind seemed to wonder to the night before. Capture the Flag was [i]intense[/i]. Unnaturally so. It was one of the few things Vanessa didn't awkwardly linger on the sidelines, perhaps the fact she felt more energized at night contributed to that. She assumed the underworld was a dark place as she felt more empowered in the dark though that may just be her for reasons other than her genes.

Eventually Vanessa slipped out of her bed and out of her room, passing the bed Penelope slept on, not noting if her half-sister was still there. She was starting to get used to having Penelope around albeit it being a month compared to the three years Vanessa had the Hades cabin alone. She continued on the the dining pavilion, taking a seat at the Hades table. She was early, a fair bit so. She spent the time in solitude watching the lake as demigods left cabins, chatting among themselves and cherishing the sun before the first lot of demigods, Demeter's children, lead by the ever-cheery Barry. She offered the man a small half-smile as he entered the pavilion. She didn't know the man that well, and she knew he knew little about her, Vanessa didn't open up to many people at all but over the years both had been campers it would be impossible for them to be practically strangers even if not much more.
