One-on-one Percy Jackson roleplay between Night and I!
Night, would you be able to start? I've decided to name my daughter of Hades Iria Rosales.

Kielin Delaney had never particularly liked Camp Half-Blood, but as a teenage orphaned immigrant daughter of Aeolus, it was the only thing she's had that resembled a home. However, it was with reluctance that she returned after a spate of hellhound attacks had forced her to acknowledge that she was getting old enough that she wasn't safe on her own without more training. So it was that she trudged past the tree at the top of Half-Blood Hill and made her way down toward the Big House to greet her least favorite god and the horse-man.

To say Iria Rosales was well-liked at camp would be a blatant lie. Oh, it wasn't that she was disliked, hardly. It was more like Iria simply faded into the shadows to most people- which was ironic considering that was one of her less used powers. The only people who had ever paid attention to her were her mother (dead) and her ex-boyfriend (also dead. Not that she had anything to do with that. What people didn't know couldn't hurt them). She was hanging around by the Big House, not feeling like doing anything in particular that day.
She watched Kielin as she approached but otherwise didn't move. No one ever paid attention to her, and she couldn't see why this girl would be any exception.

Great. Someone I vaguely recognize. "Where's the wine dude?" Kielin called to the camper. "I want to get this over with."
(Sorry, couldn't resist)

Iria tilted her head to the side when Kielin called out to her, crossing her arms. "You noticed me," she noted, completely ignoring the girl's question for the time being. "Most people don't do that. Most people overlook a daughter of Hades." Brown eyes stared critically at Kielin.

"Overlook a daughter of one of the Big Three?" Kielin laughed. "I hardly believe that. And you didn't answer my question."

"You'd be surprised," Iria answered ever so casually, before slowly looking up at the Big House. Some black hair fell into her face, and she pushed it away. "To answer your question, I haven't the slightest clue where Mr. D is." She leaned up against the building, still analyzing Kielin quietly. "Why did you pay attention to me?"

Kielin shrugged. "You're who's there. I don't exactly have friends here, or even a cabin I belong to, so I might as well talk to you." She sat down on the ground, patting beside her. "Might as well sit down, eh? I'm not keen on returning to the reject cabin -- sorry, the Hermes cabin."

Iria was silent for a good minute or so, just studying Kielin's face, committing it to memory, before she finally sat down next to the other girl. "The Hermes cabin is nice," she commented mildly. "Though of course I prefer my own cabin." She picked at the ground. "So, what's your story?"

"I'm from Ireland. My mam decided to screw the craziest not-technically-a-god, move to the States, then go and get herself killed. I get by on my own mostly unless I really need something here. Like now. I've lived this long alone, but I need the training now I'm older and the monsters can really smell me. Name's Kielin, by the way, if you care about that kind of thing."

"Iria." The ravenette stretched out a leg, no longer looking at Kielin. "My mom's dead and my dad is... well. You know. God of the Underworld and all that." She made a noise somewhere between a scoff and a chuckle. "So people usually don't talk to me, or they're super afraid of me. I mean, I had a half-sister or two ago, and then she died. And then there was my boyfriend, who died six months ago." Iria paused. "Hm, I suppose you didn't need to know that. But now you do." She gave Kielin a "cheerful" smile.

"Hey, I don't care one way or the other." Kielin shrugged. "Hopefully I'll be leaving this hellhole soon to keep moving, so you won't have to deal with me anymore."

"I mean, you are the only person who's talked to me in months- other than Chiron," Iria amended. "And even then it's debatable if my conversations with him can be considered, well, conversations. To everyone else in this Camp, I may as well not exist. So I wouldn't phrase it as 'dealing with you.'"

"Not like I'd expect much better from this place, but still. Ouch." Kielin lapses into a brief silence before changing the subject. "So how do you like to fight? Maybe you can be my sparring partner while I'm here so we can avoid the assholes together."

In response, Iria reached into her pocket, pulling out a dagger. "I know how to use a sword too," she said casually, "but they've never felt right for me. I've always preferred daggers." She spun the dagger between two fingers, watching the blade for a moment instead of Kielin.

Kielin drew an unusually short sword. "I get by with this, wind, and a lot of luck, mostly," she admitted. "It's why I'm here against all my better judgment. I take it you're pretty good with the dagger?"

"I have no other choice but to be good with it," Iria replied, and, well, that was the truth. She twirled the dagger a few more times before pocketing it again. "I don't use my powers a lot. That's not to say I don't use them, of course, or that I don't like them, but them being what they are..." She trailed off, humming.

"Could you help me get better at fighting? I can throw hands no problem, but that does nothing against monsters. I'd rather not have to rely on my powers so much."

Iria looked over at her with a smirk. "You'd feel safe practicing with a daughter of Hades?" She brushed a lock of hair behind her hair. "People don't normally do that. You truly are someone else. What if I accidentally..." She wracked her brain for one of the craziest rumors she'd heard, before people started forgetting her presence. "...stole your soul?"

Kielin scoffed. "Gingers don't have souls, remember?" she shot back, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "Maybe I'll be the one to steal your soul. Honestly, I don't care if you're the Three Fates themselves, you're someone who doesn't treat me like I'm worth less just because my da isn't a real god, and that's good enough for me."

Iria stood up, brushing off her pants even though they weren't really dirty. She held a hand out to Kielin. "Sure, I'll train with you," she finally answered, a smirk quirking her lips. "While you're at it, if you don't get to talk to Mr. D today, I may as well smuggle you into the Hades cabin if you hate Hermes so much, unless getting eaten by the cleaning harpies is your idea of a fun time."

"You'd do that?" Kielin takes her hand and stands. "Wow, someone at Camp Half-Blood actually being decent to me? That's a first. Maybe if I'm with you, I won't even have to mention to anyone that I'm here."

"If people hate you that much, you could pretend you're a daughter of Hades too and no one will notice," Iria answered cheerfully. "It's not like Dad will care, either. I mean, he might care a little bit, but certainly not enough to do anything." She stuck her hands in her pockets.

"Heh. That'll work until someone annoys me and gets a face full of blistering hot south wind." She shrugged. "Why not? See how long it lasts, I guess?" Kielin frowned. "Might be weird to call myself your sister though."

Iria hummed, contemplating this issue as she looked up at the sky. "Well, maybe you don't have to. Since people pretty much ignore my presence anyway- is me stating that over and over again getting annoying?- you might not even need to reference the fact that you're my 'sister.'" She made air quotes.

"I guess that's true!" Kielin realized.
(What should we do from here? Timeskip, back to the cabin, something else?)

(Let's go ahead and say they go back to the cabin)
"So, here we are." Iria flopped back onto her bed, rolling onto her side and propping her chin up with her elbow. "The Hades cabin. Is it better than the 'reject cabin?'" Iria couldn't help but snicker, looking around the place. Though she was sure it seemed gloomy to most, to her, it was perfect. Home sweet home.

"Quiet is a plus," Kielin replied, looking around. "I don't know, I guess I might get used to it." She wasn't so sure about that, since she knew she could never be comfortable staying in one place for too long, but she didn't want to be rude when Iria was being so nice to her.

Iria closed her eyes, smirking. "You know, you don't have to lie. I know people don't tend to like this place." She opened her eyes, studying Kielin curiously. "Unless you genuinely do like it, which would amaze me. Not even my ex liked staying here. Then again, he was a son of Apollo, so it was probably too dark and gloomy for him."
(Not trying to reference Solangelo or anything, son of Apollo just happened to work)

Kielin shrugged. "I've stayed in gloomier places, it's just... nowhere feels like home, I guess. I get restless if I stay cooped up in one place for too long. That's gotta be da's fault, but there's not much I can do about it."
