[Hider=First night]    Demetri’s suspicions were all confirmed as he got his guided tour of the camp. The scent of ozone filling the air around him as his hair began to frizz up from the static building around him until a final loud crash came bolting upon him. In a flash of light and thunderous applause, he was claimed as a child of Zeus, one of the ‘big three’ as everyone seemed so eager to call them. His disguise fell for a moment as the lightning faded, showing off his electric blue eyes for all to see before it slowly returned back into the brown shade Demetri kept it in just moments before. Everything began to click into place, the thunderous boom shaking his world both literally and figuratively as well. He realized the tales of the golden light and his miraculous birth was more than just a bed time story his mother told him each night, it was how he became the person he is today. A Demi-god. Zeus had been known to shower mortals in a golden light to bear his children and it appeared he did so again, probably to help bypass this no children law that they were supposed to be upholding.

    He excused himself momentarily as he was claimed near his cabin, perfect timing if there ever was one. Anxiety riddled him as he made his was atop the marble steps and passed the grande columns straight into what appeared to be an empty space with dear old dads statues placed in perfect lighting. It was at this moment Demetri wished he had more destructive powers, lightning or thunder to send a cacophony of anger towards the marbled piece in hopes that it would shatter and fall to the ground, but he had no such talents and thus resigned himself to press against a wall, sliding down onto the smooth floor with his head pressed against his knees and his arms crossed before his face, hiding himself away as he gathered his thoughts.

    There was a shifting sound and footsteps. Someone was in her cabin. She sat up in the old sleeping bag and looked over. There was a dark-haired boy in her cabin. Andy glanced at the photo. He didn’t look like the boy there, though that was a very old picture of a small child. The boy hadn’t woken her, the thunder and lightning had. Andy had suspected that that was just the cabin being annoying, it wouldn’t have surprised her. [color=b71d5d]”Hello?”[/color] She asked. Her voice quiet but echoing in the nearly empty cabin. [color=b71d5d]”Who are you and why are you in my cabin?”[/color] It wouldn’t be a far stretch for her to have not met someone at the camp, it was a big camp, but everyone here knew she was there and was now the sole resident of cabin one.

    Demetri’s head poked up as the sound of a small girl resonated throughout the empty hall. His right hand swept back his thick black hair, placing it delicately behind his ear and revealing both his face and bronze earring. He saw a small child, sitting up in a corner that was just barely in sight of him and it appeared as if it was out of sight from the statue. Good choice. Demetri stood up slowly, making his way step by step towards her until he was about halfway there and sheepishly said [color=6666FF]”Hi...um, I’m sorry, I wasn’t aware there was someone else in here. I just came to camp a moment ago and was claimed by Zeus...what about you? What’s got you in this dump?”[/color] He stood there, staring at the child as he saw just how young some of these campers could be. Had they all been whisked away like he was? How long has she been alone? How long has she been waiting for a sibling if she was in fact a daughter of Zeus?

    Andy tilted her head confused. She had been told that there weren’t any other kids of Zeus, except of course Thalia but she was with Artemis. Jason didn’t count cause he was actually a Roman, not a Greek. [color=b71d5d]”I’m a daughter of Zeus. I’ve only been here a little while.”[/color] She wanted to reach out and accept that this was her brother. That she had found more than distant cousins in this camp. That she wouldn’t have to wait for Winter Solstice to see her father. [color=b71d5d]”Is that what the thunder was? I wasn’t certain if that was just the cabin being...angsty.”[/color] She didn’t actually know what the word meant but someone had said it about one of the Ares kids who had been sulking about. She stood up and took a step toward him. She was dressed in an oversized camp shirt and cargo pants. Her hair was slightly damp from a shower that she had finished not that long ago, there was a wrap of ace bandage on her arm. There didn’t seem to be blood, and the wrap was more for pressure than to fix anything.  

    Demetri smiled at her as she said that she was a daughter of Zeus, it appeared that he wasn’t the only one now. He made his way over to her, towering over her small stature as he placed his hand atop her damp hair and gave it a good shake with a pat at the end. [color=6666FF]”Then I guess that means you’re my little sister huh? Man they really need to clean this place up, or at least furnish it a bit.”[/color] He looked at her clothes and noticed the oversized camp shirt and cargo pants, a look he doubted she chose for herself. [color=6666FF]”If you want, I can get you some new clothes when my trunk gets here. It’s got a false bottom that’s locked so my parents cant get in it, but all that it stores is different clothing items for all shapes, sizes, and genders. Erm, oh, uh, not for anything weird just...here let me show you.”[/color] Demetri shifted down into a copy of her waved, and then shifted back to his usual self. [color=6666FF]”I have the ability to shift into people and animals, so having a plethora of outfits to chose from is usually a good thing, I’m Demetri by the way.”[/color]

    Andy blinked as he patted her head. Most people avoided contact with her so that was just odd to her. She looked up at him. [color=b71d5d]”I’ve never had a brother before, but yeah I guess we are siblings.”[/color] She looked down at her clothes. They were comfortable, which met her main standard. Andy would only complain about the orange color of the shirt, it was obnoxious. There was no hiding with it, though considering some campers wore it at least among them she could blend in. 

Then she was looking into her own face and eyes. That was unnerving if Andy knew the word surreal she would use it to describe the feeling it gave her. Andy had had her fair share of nosy ‘parents’ so she wasn’t bothered by that. She supposed it made sense he could shapeshift. Zeus did that sometimes too right? [color=b71d5d]”My name’s Andy. I can’t change shape, but I can control lighting.”[/color] She let a little bit of electricity arc over her arm and then discharged it harmlessly. [color=b71d5d]“Everyone here has some sort of power it seems. I know someone who can control plants, and my friend Ash can talk to skeletons.”[/color]

[color=6666FF]”Funny, I was just wishing for a bit of lightning to cause a small bit of havoc, but I wouldn’t want you to do it and potentially get in trouble. Plants and skeletons huh? I’m sure there’s a few who may be able to do the former but Hades definitely sounds like the parent of whoever can control skeletons. That’s so cool.”[/color] Demetri walked over towards the wall and leaned up against it, allowing himself to slide once more until he sat on top of the cushion of the sleeping bag. [color=6666FF]”Sorry...if i spooked you i mean. It can be a bit unnerving to look into your own face. A mirror, that’s one thing, but to see yourself in flesh, well its a bit unsettling for some. I should’ve thought that through first. So what’d i do to deserve such a cool little sister in the first place?”[/color]

[color=b71d5d]“What does havoc mean?”[/color] Andy sat down so she was facing Demetri on the sleeping bag and crossed her legs. [color=b71d5d]“Marygold is a daughter of Demeter. That’s the same goddess who is the mother of Persephone.”[/color] She was proud of herself for remembering and wanted to tell Leda. [color=b71d5d]“You’re okay though. It only startled me a little. I think I’m getting used to weird things happening.”[/color] She blushed a little at the compliment he gave her, even though they didn’t even know each other and in response to it she shrugged. [color=b71d5d]“Where are you from? How did you get here? I got here by taxi but Ash and her school mates got here by pegasus and even though our dad is the king of the sky I’m a little terrified to get on one, but I like the climbing wall.”[/color] She was gushing. Andy never gushed. Ash must be wearing off on her.

    Demetri was a bit surprised when asked what the word meant, and then quickly recalled that she must be several years younger than he, and most likely didn’t spend her time just reading for fun. [color=6666FF]”Havoc means...well...its like doing bad things for a little fun. Kinda like a prank. Though this one was a bit more to let out some frustra- erm, anger, that i had in me. Demeter is pretty cool too, though I’d love to get into the Dionysus cabin, I’m sure they’re loads of fun.”[/color] Demetri looked up at the ceiling for a moment as he thought on what she had said. He wasnt’ aware a taxi could take you into this camp, made the whole place seem less than safe. [color=6666FF]”I’m from Seattle, that’s all the way on the other side of this country. Great weather honestly. Now as for how i got here, I was taken in by Pegasus, but between you and me...I’m afraid of heights as well. Just about threw up when we lifted off and ended up changing into a snake to keep myself from falling down and dying. I do hope they have safer ways to travel than…[i]that[/i]”[/color] Demetri rustled in his bag and pulled out his Polaroid camera, moving next to Andy and asking to take a picture with her to commemorate their meeting. Once that was done and he was placing his camera away, he saw the small jean overalls and Ochre colored shit. Nearly smacking himself for forgetting he had packed it that day. [color=6666FF]”Here, I forgot i had this. Sometimes the monsters like to hunt me when they think I’m small and frail, gives me the upper hand. You can have it though, better than that bright orange honestly.”[/color] Oh god, he was spending way too much time with Aster and he could tell.

Andy soaked up the information and decided that Ash was a form of havoc all on her own. She had a vague memory of hearing the word Seattle before but she had never been on the other side of the country so it might as well have been a different country entirely. [color=b71d5d]“Oh, it isn’t that I’m afraid of heights...more I’m afraid of falling, and the land.[/color] Andy raised her wrapped arm slightly, as if to indicate whatever the gauze was there for it had to do with a fall. She happily took the photo with Demetri when he asked, and then he offered the clothing. [color=b71d5d]“That is a way better color, thank you.”[/color] She agreed and hurried into the small bathroom in the cabin and changed shirts. Andy decided for sleeping the overalls seemed like a bad idea, but would wear them in the morning. When she came out of the bathroom she frowned looking at Demetri. [color=b71d5d]“There is only one sleeping bag. You can have it tonight if you want.”[/color] Sleeping without the bag wouldn’t be the worst place she had ever slept that was for certain. 

    Demetri sat there and waited as she changed into the clothes, looking at the Polaroid as it slowly developed before him, much like his sibling-hood seemed to be developing. He smiled at it warmly and then tucked it away in his wallet. When Andy returned he blinked and then blinked again as she offered up the sleeping bag to him. Clearly there had to be a better solution to this sleeping arrangement. He chuckled to himself and waved off her offer. [color=6666FF]”It’s fine, you take it. Shapeshifter here remember? I’ll just turn into a cat for the night and sleep at the foot of the bag. Just don’t kick me ok?”[/color] He added jokingly at the end. Maybe this camp wouldn’t be so bad? Aster may have been a poor introduction to it, but Andy was definitely a refreshing change of pace that told him more than just Asters roamed these campgrounds.

    [color=b71d5d]“I don’t move a lot in my sleep so you should be fine.”[/color] Andy nodded, the plan seemed like a good one, at least she would be under blankets. [color=b71d5d]“You can be in cat form while you sleep?”[/color] That seemed strange to her. He didn’t have to keep his thoughts on his power like she did. If she got distracted she’d lose control of the lightning. She was a little jealous of that. The ADHD that all half-bloods had made her lose control of her lightning a few times over the years. That actually might have even been a good reason as to why she had failed at Capture the flag so hard the night before. Though Andy knew it was because she hadn’t wanted to actually hurt Authur. Supposedly ADHD helped them be better fighters, and if that was true it sort of explained how time had slowed down as she had fallen out of the tree. 

[Color=6666FF]"I've tried it a few times before. Usually it's fine unless I have a really restless dream then I may shift back and wake up. Though sleeping like a cat? Suuuuper comfortable. Then again I tend to sleep way longer when that happens and usually wake up extremely hungry the next day."[/color] He really wished he wouldn’t transform mid night, it would make for a very awkward experience if suddenly a small cat grew to a six foot guy just at the foot of the bed. [Color=6666FF]"We should see about getting some beds in here soon though. Just so we aren't sleeping on the floor."[/color]

Andy nodded as he explained and then climbed into the sleeping bag. [color=b71d5d]“That’s probably a good idea. I didn’t know who to ask. Mr. D doesn’t like campers so probably Chiron. Or maybe one of the older campers can help.”[/color] Andy chewed on her lip thinking. She really didn’t want to ask Mr. D for help. She knew it wasn’t personal, but he was hard to be around. [color=b71d5d]“We’ll ask in the morning though.”[/color]
[/hider]

Demetri's eyes glanced at Zekes arms when he mentioned showing off his muscles. The threat of a swoon looming over him. [Color=6666FF]"If its entertainment you want then him showing you his 'muscles' surely will do the trick. Really now Zekeypoo dont you think if she wanted to see two toothpicks she would conjure one up on her plate?"[/color] Demetri chuckled at his own joke as he clattered his tray onto the table to sit next to Zeke. [Color=6666FF]"Don't worry I've had all my shots, and if not then maybe you could ask dear old dad to toss me an arrow and heal me up."[/color] He stuck his tongue out ayyyy the blonde boy, their visages clear opposites of one another; a blonde preppy jock sitting next to a dark haired emo teen. They couldnt be further apart. It appeared that Kiera and Zeke were distracted by some girl at the Hecate table, who was for some reason staring at them. It was honestly a bit creepy. Demetri was about to comment on what she was doing and ask who she was when a loud horn began to blow. Being that there's no games currently going on, he assumed from the many movies hes seen that a horn signaled an attack. His eyes quickly darted towards Andy, Arthur and Athanasia and he stood up and ran towards them, summoning his dagger in his hand. [Color=6666FF]"Dont know what going on but stay behind me."[/color]
