Rose

Dylan gave her a skeptical look, asked, "Really? Okay..." and without further discussion, turned and ran for the lake.
"Hey!" she laughed, "Wait for me!"
Rose charged after him, kicking off her shoes at the water's edge(as she didn't have Dylan's useful skill of being water-proof, she had to take such precautions) and jumped in after him.

She pushed her way to the surface, inhaling deeply. She waited for Dylan to surface...
waited some more...
and finally realized that, duh, he could breathe underwater. Rolling her eyes at herself, she took a big breath and sank beneath the surface.
There floated her friend, black hair swaying with the currents. She could hardly see anything, just barely making out Dylan in the water. She waved at him and grinned, repressing a laugh so she didn't end up with a mouthful of water.

((Bump))

[kannagi]

(I'm back!! :D *does 'lil happy dance*)

Dylan

Dylan smiled back at Rose and waved. There were some perks to being the son of Poseidon -- like breathing underwater, persay. There was nothing more blissful than relaxing at the bottom of the ocean, watching everything float lazily above you. He saw Rose's feet kicking rapidly, propelling her forward, and was tempted to grab her foot. However, he never went through with it. Maybe next time...

[ragemonster]

((Shall we timeskip 6 months now? And welcome back. =DDDDDD))

[kannagi]

(Yeah definitely I also have a question: Do you have a spare mallet/hammer thing from the Festival? I'll trade ya one of the masks I got from the ring toss... if I can get that, then I'm able to get the doggie family )

[ragemonster]

((I do not. :c I'll see if I can find some of the posies, as they're all I need to get the hammer. I'll send you it if I get it. :3))

Rose

Wow... I can't believe it. Six months already? Rose thought, staring at the calender just next to her bed. It had been six months since they'd first come to camp. She'd had a birthday about four months ago, and now she was 15. And two months. She slid off her bed, yawning. Pale wintery sunlight streamed in through one of the two windows at the face of the cabin, but it was just enough light to see by. She dressed quickly, in jeans and an orange camp tee shirt. She ran a brush through her tangle of blond hair(it was wavy, at the moment), put it into a ponytail, and slapped on her Red Sox cap. Rose pushed open her cabin door and trotted down the three steps, heading for the Poseidon cabin to wait for Dylan to wake up.

[kannagi]

(Oh thank you! :3 I was able to get the cat family... but with the mallet I can get the dog family, and hopefully save up for a burnt dog or lion family. :C I probably will have to end up buying them from someone else...)

Dylan

Dylan rolled over lazily in his sleep, groaning at the sunlight streaming in. Today was his birthday. Couldn't he just sleep in a little later?

He was turning 15, to his delight. But it also made him kind of nervous. A demigod's aura is generally stronger when they're older. What if his age makes it near impossible to step outside camp, in fear of being mauled by a hellhound or minotaur?

He shoved those thoughts away. He had more troublesome things to deal with, like the nightmares that have been haunting him. He told Rose about it once, but he doubted she took it seriously.

[ragemonster]

((Well, I just got another map leading to the royal lions. Would you like it? I've already got them. :3 Oh, and you find the burned dog in the forest.))

Rose

Rose stiffened. Aw, crap, I forgot his present! she thought, and dashed back towards her cabin. She thanked the gods that it was so close, as she'd heard a muffled, reluctant groan from the Poseidon cabin. Obviously, Dylan was awake. She dashed up the steps into her cabin, pushing open the door and running to her nightstand. She'd made it last night, and she hoped he liked it.

When she'd jogged back to wait outside the Poseidon cabin, she crossed her arms behind her back, the chocolate cupcake with blue icing(she knew it was lame, but hey, it was the most she could do inside a demigod camp fixated on forcing only healthy things down their throats) concealed from Dylan's view.

[kannagi]

(Ohmygoodness if you wouldn't mind... yes!! XD)

Dylan

Dylan yawned and finally sat up with a bad case of bed head. He stretched before standing up unsteadily, making his way to the bathroom to take a quick shower and brush his teeth. He threw his clothes on hurriedly, wanting to be a little early for breakfeast so he could get out quicker and enjoy his day. He didn't have anything scheduled today except for wall climbing, which would be easy if--

Dylan ran into Rose, not expecting her to be waiting outside his door. She stumbled back, falling on her butt. She was clearly holding something beside her back. "Sorry Rose," he muttered, embarrassed. "Didn't see you there!"

[ragemonster]

Rose

Rose, not watching the door, was surprised when a solid mass knocked into her, throwing off her balance and sending her stumbling to the ground. Just in time, she managed to switch the cupcake from both hands into one, and saved it from being squished. "Well, good morning to you, too. Normally a hi-how're-ya would have done just fine, but whatever." She laughed, standing up and wiping the dirt off her jeans. She held the cupcake in the other hand, and held it out to Dylan when she'd gotten most of the dirt off. "Look, I know it sucks, but it was the best I could do." She smiled. "Happy birthday, Dylan," she said.
