Mason had healed well over the months and even better, there seemed to be a universal agreement not to hassle each other. Or him at least. When you had witchy friends and were a child of Hades, it’s amazing what could be accomplished.

He was lighting a smoke on his couch when Andy’s voice rang out. Most of it was average. The day, time, weather, pro advice: don’t go out in a bikini. Okay. But where she usually shut off there was a pause instead. Mason knew she wasn’t the kind to forget to turn it off. [color=#bd1664]"There was a note left at the main office for me to find… from the Gods. Exciting news, new demigods are expected to join us today."[/color] Mason’s brows furrowed having another drag. Was that exactly what the note said? He doubted it. Someone should’ve given the poor girl a pay raise. [color=#bd1664]"The note also mentioned a new leader and, quote, a [i]rigorous[/i] training regimen. So, today will be the last day of these daily announcements… at least from me."[/color]

A single brow quirked up. They could try. However, if Andy still found announcements cathartic couldn’t they at least give her that still? She’d been through enough stress. Let her have her pulse checks through camp.

He had to admit, he thought that was it. [color=#bd1664]"And last, but not least, tonight at sundown on the Activities Field we will be having a New Year’s Eve celebration. So I’ll be seeing you, and the new campers there."[/color]

He puffed out a last cloud of smoke and smothered his cigarette in the ashtray. He didn’t know if sooner or later would be less busy in the hall but the bandaid method seemed to work good enough in any case.

Mason threw on his coat and headed for the main hall hoping to be as invisible as possible or ignored. Either would work. There didn’t seem to be too many demigods walking his direction yet. That or Mason completely tunnel visioned them and was full of certainty that any voices heard weren’t for him. 

At the front of the hall, he put his hand on Sylas’s shoulder in greeting before sidestepping him. He’d have to forgive him but he was sort of in a hurry. He would have sat with Sylas or talked a bit but sometimes he liked to play with people and Mason wasn’t feeling like feigning overly social and pleasant. Inside, Mason found the hall was relatively empty so kept to his tunnel vision routine, throwing some bacon and eggs on his plate thoughtlessly and grabbing a table as tucked into the back as he could get. 

While he wanted to be quick, he didn’t have the appetite back yet to scoff food and that would probably let him down. Able to pay a proper glance around he saw Iliana already perched at a table and an entirely new face. [i]Shit. Already?[/i]

He was awake. Just not up. If he knew a child of Khione he’d get them to turn the snow off or maybe he could target a sun child...the thought brought him pause. 

[i]The pale creature became a blur hiding behind trees with a streak of blonde hair taunting Daniel as it circled. He whirled around trying to keep up. An enormous force hit his chest and sent him flying backwards, knocking the wind from him. A stick crunched underfoot off in the distance where he could just make out some other campers in a group, but it also gained the monster’s attention. It seemed to actually smirk at him with fangs on display then dashed off. Daniel extended a hand out, willing an invisible barrier in front of his latest foe while he got to his feet awkwardly. He strained a cough and the barrier faltered. Just like that he ended up chasing a vampire through the woods like a madman, using his powers to hinder her speed and pull her back that only had effectiveness of slightly slowing her down. Regardless, Daniel reached out as the vamp sprang for Cherise’s neck. His fingers clutched the beast’s hair, yanking her back and with his free hand, he balled his fist and punched her in the face before any devouring could happen.[/i]

Daniel got approximately nothing for his efforts, even down to acknowledgement. Like, ever, because she just left. But snow could be fun.

As he was psyching himself up, Andy came over the systems with her usual bout of camp news, though as of late it was never really news. Not much had happened. Camp gradually took shape again, people would mill about, there were no robberies or destruction on the southside or anything. Daniel hadn’t even summoned anything destructive in ages…or anything at all.

However, today apparently there were new campers coming. Daniel sprang out of bed at the mentioning and got dressed as if a race. There was a catch though, being a new leader was also sent as well. Daniel froze trying to find a positive in that to keep his Mr. Brightside attitude. It shifted Andy from the spotlight a little, he tried to convince himself. [color=#47815a]"I swear if it’s the Valises reformed or something..."[/color] he muttered. 

Apparently there was also a part three of news today! A party! Daniel initially got excited but it took seconds before he got offended. She hadn’t even ran it by him to be DJ or anything. She’d hear about it and she’d be sorry.

Daniel snatched up his music and earphones. The moment a song began to play, everything was back on track and right again. Snow was great, new demigods were exciting, it’d be an eventful day. Stepping onto his porch Daniel even gave a deep inhale and cheesy smile. He jumped down and headed for the main hall, his pace only hindered by rhythmically rocking back and forth on his heel or sliding a leg back with song. Daniel shook his shoulders slightly trying to contain his musical routine for once.

[color=#fafad2]“Hellooooo!”[/color]

A muffled voice reached his ears bringing him to another halt. He plucked out a headphone a little confused where it had come from. [color=#47815a]"Marco?"[/color] he prompted looking around meerkat-like. 

There was a girl ahead, heading for the hall. Daniel quickened his steps to meet her. [color=#47815a]"Hey."[/color] He grinned and offered a hand. Behind her, Nelly was making quick friends with another stranger and behind that, more people wandered in but other than a quick glance and quick thought of how many the gods did send, Daniel focused on the company in front. [color=#47815a]"I'm Daniel. You, uh, going in?"[/color] he gestured to the hall, plucking out the other earpiece and tucking them in his pocket. [color=#47815a]"You’re probably going to want your own place too. We're having a party tonight and it's not super camp out weather. You could even be my neighbor,"[/color] he jested. 

Daniel shuffled a couple feet away in attempt to guide the girl. [color=#47815a]"The good ones will sell fast."[/color] He pointed vaguely to the gate she had passed then tapped his nose. Get a cabin first and voila, camp’s home and she’s not carrying a backpack around any longer.
