Camp Half-Blood: Into the Storm - Closed!

August nodded sagely, trying very hard to keep a straight face. “I see,”she said. “Then I guess it would make sense that you don’t know about the initiation ceremony. You’re not allowed to use a weapon on camp property until you’ve passed the trials.” She spoke as seriously as she could, trying to sound wise and commanding. She watched the younger girls expression, trying to judge if she was actually buying this. “Don’t worry though, it’s not too hard, and I can take you through it if you want.” Auggie gave her best attempt at a friendly smile, though it played off as more of a malicious smirk as she stood up, brushing a lock of dark purple hair behind her ear.

Aggy stared at the girl, wide-eyed as she tried to piece her words together. Although she wanted, almost desperately, to believe the purple-haired girl... something was off.
She wrinkled her brow. The manner was quite convincing but the words... there was no way Mira would've given it to me if it was against the rules, she's a goody-two-shoes, still... initiation sounds fun!
And she couldn't say no after that last remark. The implication of her being a scaredy-cat, when combined with the Ares cabin scene earlier...was it possible to lose a reputation in one day?
Her mind made up, she watched the girl stand up, ready to follow her lead. "I'm in." She comfirmed, taking a step forward.

Mirabelle flashed Ben a grateful look when he moved closer to her. Despite herself, she found her body leaning closer into the warm presence of the son of Hephaestus. She listened intently to his words, nodding slowly as she felt some of her doubts and insecurities start to settle. Campers are resilient. That line reassured her more than she let on - worry for her fellow demigods and creatures alike had been gnawing at her stomach ever since the snow started to fall. Sure, they'd had snowy days before - Mr. D often allowed some snow to dust the ground during the winter months - but nothing like this.
Ben's soft question gently pulled Mirabelle out of her thoughts. She opened her mouth to say something facetiously cheerful, but the words died in her throat. Her bubbly demeanor dropped ever so slightly as guilt pricked her chest. She couldn't lie to Ben - the perceptive boy probably would've just seen through it anyway. With a small sigh, she cast her gaze back out at the gathering snow.
"I - I've been... having dreams," she started. She twisted a lock of golden hair around a well-manicured finger as she spoke, her darkened tone giving away how unsettled she felt. "Dreams that could relate to the prophecy." There was no 'could' about it, she was quickly realising - the snow was evidence enough to that point. Besides, the mountain she'd seen in her sleep could've certainly been classified as a 'summit battered'... The fact of how fragmented her dreams had been upon waking also worried Mirabelle. She was usually able to recall her dreams with astounding clarity, save a few rare instances... Something traumatic must have happened in the dream. It was the only explanation she could think of; the only case that would cause her psyche to protect itself through repression.
"If those dreams are any indication... it seems like I'm fated to go." The reluctance in her tone was clear, though the words sounded final and decided. The duty of protecting the camp far outweighed any hesitation she may have had about the quest itself.

Juliet hesitated. She wasn't exactly the best around horses; they didn't usually seem to like her. They probably still remember that time when I taped airhorns to all the stable doors and caused a stampede, she recalled with a nostalgic smile. Good times, good times. It had taken the satyrs and the Demeter and Poseidon cabins nearly half the day to wrangle all of the terrified equines. One of the pegasi had even landed on the Big House roof. Juliet was pretty sure there were still hoofprints there to this day.
"Sure, I guess," she eventually conceded. She looked over at the black pegasus and tentatively held out a hand.

Chuck laughed at Jamie's joke, regardless of how cheesy it might've sounded. He thought on the other boys words as he rubbed his frigid arms to warm them up. "Like, yeah, this is totally whacked," the satyr agreed. "Khione or someone must be like, super pissed at us or something." He shook some snow out of his curly locks. "I think like, the Senior Counsel just had a meeting, you know?" he mused aloud. "'Cause like, all the counselors are late to lunch, and Chiron and the wine dude are like, not here." Unwittingly, his use of the word 'like' had like, totally increased as he spoke, giving away how worried he actually was about the whole situation.

Auggie took in the younger girls expression, realizing her slip up quite quickly. The girl might have already used her weapon at camp, in which case she’d easily see through the lie. She had to think up something else to make it more believable. August started to lead the way from the dining pavilion then stopped to look back at Aggy with wide eyes. “Wait, you haven’t already been using weapons, have you?” She shook her head, barely giving the girl a chance to respond. “That’s not good, the gods will be angry. You’re really lucky you ran into me. I’m Auggie by the way.” She began walking again, leading the way towards the woods without looking back to check if Aggy was following her.

Jamie smiled, grateful that the satyr seemed to find his awful joke at least slightly amusing. His smile quickly faded at the mention of an angry goddess and he shivered at the thought of it—as well as from the cold. He looked around the dining pavilion and saw that Chuck was right, Chiron, Mr. D and the senior counselors were all missing. “Huh, yeah...I wonder what they plan on doing about it. It’s not like they can just stop the snow.” He glanced back at the satyr, noticing how worried he sounded. “Hey, it can’t be that bad right?” He said with an encouraging smile. “We could have a summer snowball fight.” He frowned, remembering how much he hates snowball fights. “Or a...less violent snow themed activity.”

Aggy was mildly concerned by the idea of being smitted down by a god, and only out of kindness to her mother, as managing to be irritating enough to anger a god was practically on her bucket list, still she wanted it to be for her own merit. She followed the girl, rather nonchalantly, but she slowed when the girl mentioned her name.
"Auggie? Your name is... Auggie?" She asked, voice growing sharp as she narrowed her eyes, trying to find the trick.

Auggie narrowed her eyes at the girls question, giving her a harsh glare in return. “Yes, or August if you’d prefer. I don’t really care.” Her tone was cold and slightly threatening as she raised an eyebrow at the girl. “Something wrong with that?” She challenged, naturally assuming Aggy was going to make fun of her name. She knew her nickname was more often used by boys, and she’d gotten her fair share of teasing about it in school, but she was fully prepared to put this girl in her place as she had done to many other before.

Juliet was surprised when the equine didn't immediately shy away or bite her fingers off. His nose was pleasantly velvety, she realised while she stroked the soft fur. "Pretty cool," she commented. Her lips quirked up in a lopsided smile as she turned to look up at Lu. "So," she started, shifting her winter coat ever so slightly. "What do you think of all this cold weather? It's pretty neat to have snow in the summer, huh?"


|Chuck Oakes|He/Him|Satyr|Location: Dining Pavilion|Tags: Jamie|

Chuck winced at the mention of a snowball fight. "Like, the last time I got into one of those, some Ares chick decided to pack some ice into a snowball," he explained with a nervous laugh. "I guess she like, took the 'fight' part of 'snowball fight' too literally." He rubbed his shoulder at the memory. "But yeah, I totally wonder what they're gonna do about this," he mused aloud. The satyr tugged on his goatee as he thought about what actually could be done. Preparations, yes, but stopping this thing? He didn't even know where to begin. Shrugging, he turned his attention back to the conversation. "Like, anyways, with all of this snow and junk, I bet we could totally build like snow people or something, you know?" he suggested. "I'd have to book to the Big House to like, get some warmer clothes first though, you know?" He tugged emphatically at his Camp Half-Blood t-shirt, and gestured to his cargo shorts. At least the fur on his lower half kept his legs nice and insulated.

Aggy visibly relaxed, picking up speed to catch up to her. "Cool, I'm Aggy," She looked at the girl, Auggie, who now looked angered. Huh, I guess I found her trigger, Aggy thought, storing this information for later. For now though, she should probably placate her. "Short for Agatha, call me that if you want some new bruises," She had reached Auggie now, and glowered up at her fiercely, hand brushing over the hilt of her cutlass as if ready to make good on this last statement.
