It felt interesting to see things pick up again, but a part of her was worried about with so many people around, would she be able to control her feelings. She never told anyone this, but not having as many campers around had helped in that aspect. She liked the quiet as they all healed and rebuild the camp. But changes had to happen. Her mother made sure of that with her own responsibilities when it came to the weather. Iliana wanted to do her proud. Thinking of the new campers made her think of the ones she met. Marlen had been an interesting fellow. She was never able to figure out what gender they were, but she thought it be rude to ask. So she would just treat them like she did with anyone else, politely. She wondered if they would become friends. At the very least she wanted them to get along since she hoped they could help her in the healing department. She then thought of River. He was a presence. His emotions were like a force of nature, but he kept a lid on them, which was admiral. She wasn't surprised to learn he was Poseidon's son. She wouldn't be surprised if he was their new leader too since she remembered it was Poseidon who sent the last leader. Or maybe Zeus decided to send one of his offspring again. She couldn't think of any other god who would want their kid to 'take charge'. Maybe Hades or even Athena. She would find out soon enough. She was so lost in thought, she didn't even see she wasn't alone on the ice anymore. She a dark haired female camper get on the ice. She smiled and waved. She would have join her, but then she saw Blair. The memory of Blair with that man from earlier entered her mind and her face turned red instantly. Her pendant lit up and she was grateful for that. She better get off the ice because something happened though. Carefully she got to the entrance, wave at the two and got off. Sitting down carefully, she took the skates out before getting her own shoes on. Deciding to finally brave the bar, she headed in that direction before seeing Trinity. She then remembered that Duke mentioned meeting another one of Ares' sons. She wondered if she should tell Trinity. Well if the subject came up, she would mention it, but she wanted to see how she was regardless. As she got closer, she saw her interacting with someone who was making drinks at the bar. Making sure she was in Trinity's line of sight, she approached. [color=#4a766e]"Evening Trinity. I decided to get one more drink before midnight. Do you have any recommendations? I just can't handle anything too strong, nor do I want to risk it. In the past it was either a Bailey's Cream or Schnapps. I do like something sweet though. So um, how's your evening been?"[/color] Looking at the bartender, Iliana smiles shyly and says, [color=#4a766e]"Hi, I am Iliana. Welcome to camp. I hope you're enjoying yourself."[/color] It wasn't long before Blair appeared again and directly zeroed in on the bartender. Iliana had seen drunk people before and Blair was well . . blasted for sure, if her mannerisms were any indication. Not wanting to deal with that, Iliana stuck next to Trinity and allowed Blair to converse with the bartender.

He was free to think of her however he thought, but she wasn't going to change for anyone here. But since he appeared to be the like to stir up trouble, she would probably keep an eye on him. Oh not to stop him, but to be there to watch what happened for it was entertaining to watch people mess up if they caused issues because karma was a b--ch. Her eyes lit up at the suggestions of shots. She already had one with Fiona but another couldn't hurt. [color=#f1724b]"Hell yeah! We'll see what we can find! Actually I am in the mood for rum right now. Before you joined us, I was talking to Fiona about my favorite dessert being Rum cake. So now I got that on my mind. Let's see if this bar has the specific one I am thinking of. And we'll see if we can find a few people for you to meet."[/color] She quickly cleaned up her plate and gather her empty glasses and tried tidying up her area as best as possible. Standing up, she first led them to a trash to get rid of her unwanted stuff. Then she led them to the bar. Looking to see who was there, she first saw Trinity, Iliana, another new camper, and Blair. She didn't think she wanted to expose Iliana or Trinity to Morne yet. Then she saw Heath and Veronica with 2 other new campers. Yeah, no that wouldn't be good either. She might have temped if Veronica wasn't there, but the girl was similar Iliana, too nice for her own good. Not to mention it looked like they were about to leave the bar. Glancing over, she saw Lochlan and her other fellow redhead, Evelyn. That'll work. She hoped Fiona was okay with her decision, joining her brother. With a smile on her face, she greeted the two, [color=#f1724b]"Hi, Evelyn, hi Lochlan. Do you mind if we join you? We were hoping to get one more drink in us before midnight hits. Morne here is new, he literally just showed up tonight and he wanted to meet new people. Anyway, let me see if this bar has what I am thinking of."[/color] Without thought, she suddenly hauled herself over the bar and slide to the other side of it. Crouching down, she looked and as if by magic she found what she was looking for. [url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Stroh_-_Austrian_Rum_-_IMG_3452.jpg/250px-Stroh_-_Austrian_Rum_-_IMG_3452.jpg]Stroh 80[/url], one of the hardest drinks she ever had. Well, she only had one sip and that was it. Smiling triumphantly, she shot up with the bottle in her hand. [color=#f1724b]"Booyah! Hey Morne, ever had this?! I am going to grab several glasses if anyone wants to try this. Fair warning though to the rest of you, this is pretty hard. The number of the hardness is in the title, 80% ABV. Normally I wouldn't mind trying to get drunk, but with the possibility of training tomorrow, I don't want to risk it. I am loose enough already. This is a spiced rum by the way."[/color] She grabbed several glasses as she said and poured enough for a simple gulp for her and pour the same amount for Morne. She figured if he was Dionysus's son, he had no limit. She hoped at least. She pushed the glass to Morne before taking a sip from her own glass. She felt the instant zing. [color=#f1724b]"Mmmm, that hits the spot. You know, I really want to go into this New Year with no regrets. There is one I do have though. But I do have time to rectify it. If y'all would excuse me, I'll see if I can get back before midnight."[/color] Her Cajian accent wasn't much, but it did slip in whenever she was close to her limit. So she knew she only needed to just take one last sip, but that was for midnight. Still she was feeling brave and crazy enough to do what she felt like she had to do. Hopefully the person she was thinking of wouldn't kill her for it. She doubt he do that though. She was thinking about that 7 minutes in Heaven incident again and how much she messed things up. Let's see if Sylas was open to what she had in mind. Taking her glass, she left the bar to look for him. Eyes peeling, she knew what he was wearing at least. Soon, she caught sight of him outside the crowd. It helped that his pants was a shade guys normally didn't wear, at least in her experience. Gathering her courage, she walked straight towards him. Before he could do anything, Nelly quickly spoke up. [color=#f1724b]"I know you're not a huge fan of me, but I wanted to remedy the mistake I made earlier this year at the last party. I am sure you already have someone in mind for who you want to be with at midnight, so maybe we can make this quick. I just wanted go in the New Years regret free, and I hate that I didn't pick up the lures you were casting. I just didn't understand the rules of 7 minutes in Heaven. So would it be okay to ask you to kiss me real quick or it can be vice versa? And if so, we can do it away from the crowd if you want."[/color] she said as words tumbled out of her. She was ready for anything. This probably a big mistake for all she knew, but she wouldn't regret trying kiss Sylas at least.
