I'm not asking you to forgive me. I'll never understand or forgive myself. And if I die, so help me, I'll laugh at myself for being an idiot. There's one thing I do know and that is that I love you.

Miranda Burke


Location: Sky Lakes Medical Center

Interacting with: Sebastian Monroe @December, Gage Brooks @BlackPanther, Syleste Vos @Vicier and Xerxes Arvanitis




"Gage is sleeping, Miri, be quiet!"

"Hm?" Miranda looked to where Gage was and smiled a bit. So the big brute got sleepy. Adorable.

"I asked for one sprite, hon, not for you to mug some poor bastard and use his life savings on a vending machine. And what happened to Cass? She went out looking for you. You didn't mug her and take her lunch money, did you?"

"What? Oh yeah, no she found me. Wanted to help me with the sodas but I figured that if she went to the McDonalds just down the hill and got Syleste some chicken nuggets it might help - they are her favorite, you know." Miranda told Sebastian, though making sure she was loud enough so that Xerxes could hear. She had no idea how much time she was supposed to buy for Cassie, but she figured that would be a good place to start. But... just in case... "She said she had to go to the bathroom first, though, and honestly I'm not sure if she'll go. It looked pretty packed when we passed it on the way here." She shrugged nonchalantly. "Either way, she's got her phone. She'll give us a ring if something comes up. Actually, I'll just send her a text now."

Covering up both of their tracks, Miranda sent Cassandra a quick text about the chicken nuggets and sudden bathroom trip.

Just dont want cha daddy gettin pissy. that would be bad. have fun sweety! I got this! 😘😘😘


"Hey"

"Holy schnikes he's alive!" Miranda said, almost boredly as she hit the send button on her phone before looking up at Gage.

"Why is there a pile of sprites attacking Sebastian? Care to share one?"

"Go for it, Gage. No one's stopping you." she replied, popping open her soda can and took a drink.

"I thought you'd be more interested in your girlfriend, Gage... You may go back to her now."

Miranda almost spit out her drink at Xerxes comment. Okay, so she wasn't the only one who saw it. She looked over at Syleste. She could only imagine how the poor girl was feeling - so lost and alone while her boyfriend slept and binged on sodas.

"Fricken prick." she grumbled lowly to herself as she wiped away the stray stream of soda that did manage to leak from her mouth in an attempt to not spray it everywhere.

She didn't even hear Xerxes speaking to her about getting someone to look at the soda machine as she was watching Gage as he left Sebastian's bed to go over to Syleste's. She took another drink, silently judging his movements and their small interaction. She liked Gage, she really did. Or at least... she used to. Maybe it was because she was still incredibly romanticized over the whole Cassandra/Handsome stranger encounter. Maybe it was because they had all been viciously attacked and brought into the supernatural world. Weird, yeah. Scary, definitely. But that should be bringing couples closer together... not... not this bullshit...

"Hey" she could hear him telling Syleste. "I'm going to sit down. I'll still be next to you... I just... need rest."

"Oh for fucks sake!" Miranda exclaimed out loud as Gage retreated to a chair and fell back asleep - not even caring about the look she was getting from Xerxes at her use of profanity. Shaking her head, she grabbed a sprite can, went over to Syleste's bed and plopped herself down at Syleste's side. "The part of the big, macho, manly boyfriend will now be played by Miranda Burke. Here, Syleste. I brought a sprite over for you. You are so beautiful and I'm so very glad you are okay. Maybe after you get released we can go out for ice cream or something. Because I love you and you're the best girlfriend in the world." Miranda said in the deepest, ironic voice she could manage.
Alan Carpenter


Location: The Basketball Court > The Obstacle Tower; Camp Half-Blood.
Interacting With: Others around him.


Cheers from his two teammates could be heard as Alan came back down from holding onto the basketball rim, having successfully dunked the ball for a fourth time that day, putting his team in the lead. Laughing, Alan met with the other two in an exchange of fist bumps and hand slaps, getting a few pats on the back as the other team got ready to set up the next set. The three of them got into position, guarding one shirted camper each, and the game was back in play. The ball was thrown in bounds, caught by the other team who dribbled and juked around his guard to go for the hoop, however Alan's tall and lanky stature blocked him from a good shot and instead passed the ball to the third teammate. Reaching a hand out, Alan intercepted the ball and passed it to one of his team members. Spinning around in a half-circle to get a better look at the scene before him, a blur of bubblegum pink infiltrated his peripheral vision on the left side.

Pausing, Alan turned his head to see Syleste, accompanied by Erin, walking past them towards the obstacle tower. Syleste was hugging a rather fluffy puppy in her arms - Pierre's dog. He, like most everyone else, was more than likely at the obstacle tower already. He understood why Syleste would want to go, but Erin? Like Marcel, she seemed kind of closed off to those sorts of things unless she was in a mood to watch everyone get beat up and make utter fools out of themselves. Maybe she really was that good of a friend to Syleste to make sure that she got there safely. But then... why did Erin look more pissed off than usual?

Then Syleste turned her head in his direction. He knew she couldn't see, but it was as though she were looking right at him. His heart-rate increased and it suddenly became quite hard to swallow. He was in the process of raising his hand to wave (gods only knew why he'd wave to a blind girl) before the left side of his face was met with a sudden jolt of pain. The basketball had been passed to him, but he had been so distracted, it hit him in the face instead, bouncing off of his sweaty skin where the opposite team was able to recover and go in for a simple layup, once more putting them in the lead. Shouts of protest and annoyance from his team could be heard, but Alan simply shrugged his shoulders and sheepishly rubbed his cheek where it was growing rather red.

"Oi! Be sure to keep your pants on, too, will you, love?"

Alan's attention was once more forced away from his friends as his half-brother, Hawley, walked by - obviously headed to the obstacle tower as well. He gave a light laugh though the young man wasn't at all sure whether he was talking about the fact that he was playing basketball shirtless, or something more of a perverted nature in dealing with his obvious-crush-to-everyone-else on Syleste.

That's when he remembered.

"Oh hey! Guys! Mr. D wanted us all to get to the obstacle tower before someone won, remember? He's got an announcement, or something." Alan walked over to the side of the court and retrieved his shirt he had laying on the bench before he slipped it on over his body, the sweat he had accumulated making it stick to him like a second skin in some places, but there wasn't much he could do about that for the moment. He'd get in a shower after the whole announcement thing, and a change of clothes.

There was a groan coming from the other five, but Alan just gave them a soft smile.

"I know, but this doesn't happen very often. It's gotta be something kind of important for him to want to talk to us." he chuckled before waving for them to follow. He had never thought of himself as a leader, but the five other players (two of them having to get their shirts on), while grumbling, followed after him.

Once they arrived, the six split up and went their separate ways, Alan spotting Syleste's bright pink hair a mile away. He couldn't just go and sit next to her though, could he? Shaking his head, Alan walked to the other side of the stands and walked where Hawley had ended up. He gave him a small nod of acknowledgement before crossing his arms over his chest and watched the rest of the game play out.

Ky' vie was at it again, dominating the obstacle tower like it was second nature. But then again, Deon, ever the asshole, was looking like he just might pull through, somehow. Pierre, Ariana and Imogen were all giving it everything they had, which he could commend given the situation, and found himself rooting for Pierre - if only just to have something get under Deon's skin. That would be something worth watching.

Why oh why did the Sirens have to sing? It was difficult enough keeping the effects of Sebastian's voice at bay, but then Syleste chimed in, albeit quietly. It didn't matter, though, considering the doctor was right there with her, trying to complete her chart that everything checked out fine. He stood there for a few moments, fighting the sound of the Sirens. He had forgotten for a while what it was that he was doing, but with a quick shake of the head, he pushed it all away so that he could finish her chart and clipped it back on the end of the bed.

Just as he was opening up the curtains to the rest of the room...


"Hey Sebastian, I got your Sprite! Well, I kind of got us all one. Doctor Arvanitis, I think someone broke the vending machine. Might want to have maintenance or someone look at it. People can be so inconsiderate!"

"Gage is sleeping, Miri, be quiet! I asked for one sprite, hon, not for you to mug some poor bastard and use his life savings on a vending machine. You didn't mug her and take her lunch money, did you?"

"Hey. "Why is there a pile of sprites attacking Sebastian? Care to share one?"

"I thought you'd be more interested in your girlfriend, Gage... You may go back to her now." Xerxes entered the room, the curtain drawn so that Syleste was once more visible to everyone as he crossed over to the next bed in question, his eyes now on Gage - though the teenage conversation not at all unheard by the doctor. Cassie was... gone? Gone to look for Miranda but not back? He glanced to Miranda, as though he too, were waiting for an explanation as to where his daughter had disappeared to.

"I'll have someone look at the machine, Miranda." he told her as he changed his rubber gloves to a new pair, though his mind was far from remaining on the vending machine problem.

"Sebastian? How are you feeling? Get enough sleep last night?" he then asked, trying not to worry about it. Maybe she just had to go to the bathroom or something.
Marcel Gates


Location: The Hades Cabin; Camp Half-Blood.
Interacting With: Her pet pig, Bacon.


The sound of running water filled the the small room as Marcel sat sideways on the lip of the bath, adding some soap to the stream to make a small amount of bubbles of the surface of the water in the tub. In the meantime, a tiny black piglet about the size of a cantelope was squealing excitedly, it's little sprial tail wagging back and forth as it maneuvered between her legs, occasionally pausing to try and jump up her leg in an effort to get attention. Stooping to the side a bit, Marcel finally awarded her teacup pig with a light scratch on the head before she scooped it up under the belly and placed him in the shallow, bubbly water.

The sounds were amplified, the color of the soapy water much more prominent - like rainbow oil sliding against each other with a snap crackle pop sound as millions of the tiny bubbles all popped at once. But it was as though time had slowed, and she could hear each and every one in rapid succession. Her head was light, and the room was spinning a bit - not enough to make her sick, but enough for her to feel as though the problems weighing down on her shoulders meant absolutely nothing. Drugs were wonderful. Whether it be by pill, liquid, needle or powder, they always seemed to take that constant edge off of her day-to-day life. At least... it used to. Shit. She couldn't remember the last time she was sober.

Erin was gone, finally. Marcel definitely preferred having the cabin all to herself. It wasn't a matter of space, or anything - she was used to getting locked into closets for hours at a time when she was younger. It was more the fact of privacy. She enjoyed being alone; well, from other human beings, anyway. The company of her teacup pig, bacon, and her egyptian fruit bat, Bruce, was all the company she could ever want and stand.

Bacon used his snout to scoop up some soapy water and tried to flick it at Marcel. Twitching a sort of smile, Marcel gently used her hand to scoop up some water and in return, splashed him back. Bacon squealed, trotting around in small circles in the water before attempting to get back at her once more. A very soft chuckle came from Marcel's throat before she used her hand to scoop up some more of the soapy water and applied it to the pig, rubbing it into his hair and lathered it into his skin. It was a strange thought - pigs having hair. But when wet, Marcel could style his hair just as she would style hers sometimes. Though it was flat today, she began to maneuver his hair around so that his entire back consisted of one very thin, black mohawk that ran all down his spine before ending at his curly little tail.

Washing her pig, Marcel let her thoughts drift. She had to be at the obstacle tower soon - there was supposed to be some sort of announcement given to the whole camp and while Marcel was more than happy to just remain in her cabin for the rest of the day, drawing or reading a book, her absense would definitely be noted. Sighing, Marcel reached into her pocket with her dry hand and pulled a cigarette from a carton before putting the carton back into her pocket. Perching the cigarette between her lips, she searched her opposite pocket for a lighter and lit it, stuffing it back into her black skinny jeans and took a few good puffs. Her opposite hand continued to wash Bacon, ridding him of the small mohawk to ensure that he was clean everywhere.

"Alright. C'mon. Short one today. I got places to be, you little sausage link." Much to the disdain of Bacon, Marcel rinsed him off quickly and picked him up from the tub and set him on the ground on a towel. Keeping her cigarette held between her lips, she stood up and bent over, picking up the towel with Bacon in it and swaddled him tightly, rubbing each side to give him a quick dry before she set him back down and let him loose.

The pig looked as though he had been struck by lightning the way his hair was standing up in every which way, the sight in itself causing a rare smile to spread softly over Marcel's lips. Bacon turned a quick circle and came back to Marcel, hopping up and putting his two front hoofs on her shin.

"I know. I know. C'mon. I can't move with you trying to trip me up every half second." Marcel moved her feet, guiding the little piglet out of the bathroom and into the kitchen where Marcel retrieved a small treat out of a jar and fed it to him. "You be good. I'll be back in a bit. And I swear to Hades if you shit in Erin's room again..." Marcel tried to hide a smile forming in the corner of her lip. "you'll be breakfast tomorrow."

Not exactly waiting for a reply, Marcel turned around and grabbed her black and grey thin jacket, slipping her bony fingers through the arms and pulled up the hood around her head. Exiting the cabin that was shared only by she and her half-sister and three animals, Marcel began the (slow) walk to the obstacle tower, puffing on her cigarette as she did. God she hated crowds.
Alan Carpenter

Interacting With: Others around him.


Taking a moment to wipe the sweat from his brow with the forefront of his hand, Alan cleared his nose, trying to get in a good breath. Although the basketball court was a fair distance away from the obstacle tower, the sound of it all reached his ears just as if he were sitting in the stands with the majority of the other campers. He had attempted the tower a good handful of times since being at camp. Hell, he had gotten close to winning a few times when Ky' vie wasn't playing for some reason. It was just... too much. The noise, the spectators, the pressure...

Alan preferred a much more laid back approach to things - things on a smaller scale that didn't have so much showboating. Alan didn't need all that to know that he was a good athlete, or to prove that he was any better than someone else. He knew who he was in his heart, and that was okay by him. Once he had tried using his shoes to just fly to the top of the tower and retrieve the ring - Mr. D. didn't think it was too funny.

So since then, Alan made an effort to stick to the sidelines, or away from the tower altogether and work on other things. He shared the same sentiment with a few others in camp - enough to make a three on three men's basketball team. Shirts vs. skins, the teams changed all the time. But it was here that Alan could just have fun for having fun's sake. Here, he didn't have to worry about anything other than maybe a cute little wager made at the beginning of the game every so often. Boys will be boys.

Alan's attention went from trying to catch his breath to looking over his shoulder, back at the obstacal tower. Something big must have happened, because the noise had doubled tenfold, almost making him raise his hands to his ears to save them from rupturing. Though curious as he was, Alan was perfectly content playing a friendly ball game with his friends, and getting in some good exercise to boot.

These little games that the camp had going - the obstacle tower for instance - always showed favor to one house, one way or another. The obstacle tower was designed for the physically fit and cunning of mind. Ares, Hephaestus, Artemis, Tyche (by an unfair default) and hell, maybe sometimes the Eris cabin would excel greatly at it, leaving the other cabins such as Iris and Demeter who had nothing physically or exceptionally calculating going for them. There was capture the flag, which let some of the "littler" guys do some shining, but again, it always seemed to boil down to brute strength. Deon was a perfect example of that. He had more wins than anyone else in camp - then again, he had also been in camp the longest. Chariot races were fun, but again, not for everyone.

Perhaps the most fair activity that showed no favoritism towards any certain cabin was the trial of dreams. Though it didn't happen very often, it was perhaps the one activity Alan made sure he was a part of every chance he got. There was just something about it - the fairness, the unknown, the entirely whimsical aspect of it all... Syleste was an excellent camper to help run the exercise. Perhaps the most disadvantaged of them all given her blindness, she yet still found a way to become something within the camp. Really, a lot of people needed to give her more credit than she was given. Over a hundred campers, and Syleste was hands down the bravest one he had ever met.

Well... "met" wasn't exactly the best word to describe it. He had been at camp for a handful of years now, summers mostly, and he still hadn't been able to actually speak with her. It wasn't that he wasn't given the opportunity, he just felt sort of... intimidated by her. He'd never admit it to anyone, if asked - he knew the kind of flack he'd get for something so stupid. But there was just something about her that made him pause (not to mention make his cheeks turn a soft shade of pink).

Brought out of his thoughts by the ball getting passed over to him to start a new game, Alan shook his head and smiled to his friends, finding his two fellow shirtless teammates and began the game. He was fast, the fastest in the camp to his knowledge thanks to the ability of speed handed down to him by his father. But just like in the games, rules about "no flying shoes" and "no going supersonic" were implied, so he played as anyone else would. In hindsight, the whole thing was rather unfair. In capture the flag, it was perfectly okay for someone like Deon to use their birth-given abilities to manipulate weapons or use their battle prowess to help them get the edge - but Zeus forbid he use his shoes to fly to the top of an obstacle tower.

He was so ready for the next trial of dreams.
Deon Alexander


Location: The Obstacle Tower; Camp Half-Blood.
Interacting With: Ky' vie Morgan, Ariana Watson and others around him.


Standing not too far from the fiery-redhead of Hephaestus and the fierce blonde of Dionysus, Deon chuckled quietly to himself, hearing their exchange. His earlier wager with Ariana, though innocent in the way she explained it to Ky' vie, went a lot deeper than that. But it was up to Ariana if she wanted to spout out that little tid-bit of information to her friends; either way, he was a winner. Either he was buying her any bottle of vodka she wanted (that he would use to his advantage to get something a bit more... pleasurable in return from her in her drunken state), or he would get the same results without the alcohol and loss to his bank account... though they would probably end up getting drunk anyway. So really, how could he complain? Granted, he figured any woman would be bursting at the seams to tell any and all about her inevitable hook-up with him, but to each was their own. And Ariana was certainly a different sort of woman. But it wasn't exactly a bad thing; she certainly could be quite the freak in the sheets and that made any girl good in his book, no matter how crazy they were.

Craning his neck to the left, and then the right, a series of loud cracks that went from his neck all the way down to the middle of his back could be heard. He had spent a good amount of time warming up his muscles (a couple beers in between exercises) and his focus was exactly where it needed to be. Moving his attention from the girls to the tower in front of him, Deon's steely-blue eyes narrowed on the structure. Today, he was going to make that damn tower his bitch. There was just one last thing he needed to do.

Carefully, one by one, Deon unfastened the buttons on his blue, cotton-fabric shirt and peeled it off of his body, one arm at a time. He crumpled the fabric together in a sort of ball before tossing it aside, subconsciously (or not) flexing his toned muscles that had been exposed to the gleaming sunlight. Feeling a couple of eyes on him (really, who could blame them?), Deon turned to meet his gaze with a younger camper, probably around sixteen or so, that Deon didn't particularly remember seeing before. Maybe she was new, maybe she had been around for years, Deon didn't know, nor did he particularly care as she was very plain at best. But he indulged by giving her a smug smile and ran his fingers through his dark hair before pointing at her and giving her a slight wink. He never even got the poor girl's reaction as he was already running towards the tower, laughing.


β€œHahah..! Good luck everyone… you’re going to need it..!”

Turning his attention to Ky' vie, he instead turned his laughter to her, his eyes rolling a bit before shaking his head.

"I don't need luck when I've got a hundred and seventy pounds of pure skill, baby. But you keep riding that luck thing. Maybe it'll even buy you dinner first one day."

With very little effort, Deon vaulted himself over the thick, metal bars that surrounded the tower and headed for the first rope ladder his eyes landed on. Ducking his head just in time to miss the rotating beams between the ladders, Deon then used the strength of his legs to jump up as far as he could before his hands fastened onto a rung. However, the ladder wasn't completely unoccupied.

Deon squeezed himself by the occupant he couldn't for the life of him remember. He was younger, definitely, and a bit on the scrawny side. Really, he had no business in trying his hand at the obstacle tower - his failure was more than clear to him.

"Out of the way, you little shit." Deon used the boy's head as an extra little push with his hand, followed by using his shoulder as a boost with his foot.

The rope ladder was easy. The climbing wall... well... that was another matter. A lot of potential winners lost the entire game because of the damn thing. There were foot and hand holds everywhere, but they moved. Someone could easily push forward one of the holds, making it suddenly appear on the other side and hitting another opponent. On the reverse side, a hold could be pulled out from someone without any warning.

Deon lifted himself up through one of the holes that allowed him access to the platform before the climbing wall. He took a moment or two to analyze it, trying to discern the quickest way to the top. There were others already having a go at it, and failing. He watched as two campers in particular fought over the same foot hold, only for it to be pulled out from under them, forcing them to fall to the platform and through the hole he had just come up and out of. It was only then that he realized that (somehow) Ariana was beside him and rewarded her with a smile.

"I changed my mind, Miami. I don't think you'll last one minute." he challenged with a smirk. Meeting her ass with his hand in a hard slap, Deon then lunged at the wall, taking whatever holds he could manage and began his ascent.
@Caits Kalinda's CS. Under Theme song. There is an extra bracket. That might be your issue.
Our aim is for it to start out very light hearted, harmless and fun. But if you watch any kind of reality TV, you know that it gets boring very quickly. So the people coming up with dares are slowly going to want to see something a bit more edgy, something a bit more illegal, something more interesting. So as the roleplay goes on, the dares will start to become a bit more... well... more. That is why if you PM Vicier your dare ideas, she will take them into consideration as to when a good time for certain dares can be used so as to not throw this off. If someone got dared to take a kids ice cream cone away from him while someone else got dared to steal a woman's very expensive jewelry set... well that just wouldn't be fair, now would it? Or fun lol
Sorry for my delay, been dealing with a very recent double death... but here are my characters.
