||Welcome to Camp Half Blood|| A Percy Jackson rp CLOSED

Kumiko started walking towards an open table once Spencer was ready, “Honestly, I’m pretty sure that’s what most new campers look like during their first game of Capture the Flag.” She said, sighing as she remembered her own first game. Talk about chaotic, she was surprised that no one had been killed during that game! She gave a small shake of her head and sat down at the table, “That’s alright though, we’ve got enough mysterious people in our group. Nothing wrong with us having another friend who’s expressive like I am!” Kumiko said with a friendly smile.

(hey Ice i'd love to contribute to the traitor plot somehow! if it hasn't been decided what other children of the big three are getting kidnapped i'd love to volunteer Josie! and if they have been chosen already then i'd love to know other ways i can have any of my characters directly participate c: )

Tatum let out a small chime like laugh,”well, it looks like you’re in a good mood them,”she noted, smiling at her half-sister. She appreciated how Juniper was such a happy warm spirit so often. “Yeah, lunch sounds great! We should head there now,”Tatum nodded to her offer, nodding her head in the direction to start walking. “What have you been up to lately?”she asked, realizing she hadn’t spoken with her in a while.

Kumiko took a couple bites out of her apple and sat back thoughtfully, “Hmm, I get along with just about everyone here in camp, but I suppose there are a couple people you would want to look out for.” She said as a few people popped up in her head as she thought about it. “There’s one girl in the Aphrodite cabin that has a real mean girl streak going on, Echo’s always having problems with her. Her name is Kristen, and if you ever run into her, don’t let her snide remarks get to you. She’s nothing but a bully.” Kumiko warned.

Kumiko continued to list off a couple more names and which cabin they came from. It was a rather short list, but there were very few people who got on Kumiko’s bad side. “Let’s see, who else..? Oh… and then there’s Emilia, from the Ares cabin.” She said, sighing at the thought of the one girl who always seemed to have it out for her. Kumiko could never understand why the daughter of Ares disliked her so much, but she wasn’t the type to let that sort of thing get her down. “She’s… not exactly easy to get along with. Then again, I might be a bit biased in saying that, we always seem to be at odds with each other.”

Kumiko gave her a small smile, “Pretty surprising, isn’t it? My guess is that our personalities are just too different. I suppose sometimes I can be a bit too sunny for some people.” She said, putting her half eaten sandwich down as she spoke. “And then there was that time on the Climbing Wall. Emilia isn’t a big fan of being shown up by someone else. Especially by someone who is a lot smaller than her. It was my first competition at the camp, and I’ve always been rather fast at climbing too. So she wasn’t all that happy when I won the race that day.”

“Ah, well…” Kumiko trailed off, remembering what Emilia had done not long after that competition. “This is actually a bit embarrassing honestly. We were about nine at time, I think, so it was about seven years ago now. Emilia had already been at the camp for a year or so, and I had only just joined myself. She found out I still had a baby blanket that my mom had made me before she had died, so she stole it from my cabin and made sure to let everyone in camp know just who’s blanket it was. Then she ‘accidentally’ took a pair of scissors to it before she gave it back to me.” She explained, the thought of the ruined baby blanket still causing a small ache in her chest. That blanket had been one of the very few things that she had left of her mother, and it had been heartbreaking to see it torn to shreds like that. Kumiko gave a small laugh, not wanting to sour the mood, “I’m pretty sure I was inconsolable for a week after that! My poor counselor certainly had their hands full with me.”

With a loud and vulgar curse, Malcom whirled around, eyes sparking with light as a bolt of lightning cracked past Josie and careened into the side of a nearby tree. When he had noticed it was her, he was able to guide the lightning away at the last second. Heart racing, his eyes faded back to normal as an embarrassed and stern look crossed his face. He had startled some nearby campers, but he didn’t care much to dwell on that. Rather, he moved his hands around wildly, exclaiming. “Jos, are you mad? I coulda’ blown your head off! Sheesh! What I look like, some kind of Haunted House rookie? Jump-scaring me like that, I outta-“ He paused, taking a second to release a long breath to calm himself. “Rats. Sorry about the lightning. It didn’t get ya, did it?” He asked with concern.

Lloyd looked up from his book, eyes bright as he gave a friendly wave to Melody. He waved to invite her up onto the porch if she wanted to, answering with a small showing of the book cover. “It might sound a bit boring, but it’s a nature guide. I’m trying to memorize what plants are edible and which are not if anyone ever gets lost.” He admitted.

Spencer listened intently, eyebrows crinkled in a small frown, letting out a small surprised gasp at the end”Oh no... I’m so sorry that happened to you. I can’t believe someone would do something like that! That’s such an awful thing for her to do. And you were a kid, there’s nothing at all to be embarrassed about.”Spencer reassured, feeling empathy for her and already forming a strong dislike for the Ares girl. “Wow what a jerk,”she muttered under her breath. (Should I bring Emilia in rn? 😆)

Spencer looked up in surprise as Evelyn approached her, looking down at the pastry she set in front of her, the aroma reaching her nose. Her blue eyes brightened as she looked at Evelyn, warmed by the friendly offering and kind introduction. “Nice to meet you, Evelyn. This was really sweet of you, thank you,”she responded gratefully,”and I’ll take you up on that, see you around!”she called after her, waving a small goodbye as she watched the girl run off again.

Jared grinned at her, pleased by the fact that she was thrilled. It always made it more fun when someone enjoyed the fight as much as him. He quickly moved to block her strikes, mentally noting how fast she was and trying to analyze her patterns. He stayed on the defensive looking for a small opening to strike.

Christian watched Evelyn race by them to offer the new girl the treat in her hand. He followed Lyra’s gaze, seeing Kumiko sitting there next to Spencer. “Well that’s good for us, Kumiko wouldn’t be very suspicious of us,”he murmured quickly to Lyra, loud enough only for her to say. “And lord knows all the half-bloods are paranoid. We don’t need that,”he muttered under his breath.

Spencer looked up again too as Kassandra approached,”Hello, it’s nice to meet you Kassie,”she greeted her as the girl joined them at the table, reaching out to shake her offered hand but seeing the bandage too and setting her hand down instead. She laughed a little at her comment about the throwing knives,”I’ll keep that in mind,”she smiled, surprised but pleased by the warm greetings from other campers. Maybe camp wouldn’t be too bad after all.

Echo pushed off of the tree that she had been leaning against and gave him a small grin, “Well, you can’t blame me for being too careful. Although, I doubt Horus would stoop to such a level as to send a spy my way to see what I’ve been planning. He’s too proud to do something like that.” She said. Echo had worked with the son of Athena many times before, so she was confident that having a spy wasn’t something that he would do to get the upper hand. “But enough strategy talk, I think it’s time for me to get back to camp. My half-siblings might not cause too much trouble, but someone’s still gotta keep them in line. And I think it’s about time for lunch too. What about you? You gonna stay here or head back?”

Sasha suddenly moved her leg, aiming a sharp kick at the guards of Jared’s legs. While she knew he would be protected from the kick, she was aiming to put some distance between them. She snickered. “Ares kids never disappoint. None so far, at least.”

“Ugh, she’s being crowded like flies on a trash can.” Lyra mumbled as even more campers introduced themselves to Spencer. She glanced at Christian. “Think we should join in, and buzz around her next?” She offered, fixing her hair one more time.

Behind the twins, the Dining Pavilion doors opened, and Mathias pushed his way inside. The son of Ares looked around, his face ever so slightly scowled as he saw no signs of Nathanial. Walking through the large dining hall, he glanced at every table he passed in hopes of spotting him. He passed right by Kumiko, Spencer, and Kassandra as he focused intently on his search for his brother.

“Aw, Ava’s not so bad once you get to know her.” Kumiko said, picking up the apple that she had grabbed for her lunch and taking a bite out of it. “I’ve talked to her a couple times when she came to the infirmary for treatment. It just takes her a while before she opens up to you.”

“And we never will,”Jared grunted, moving swiftly out of the way of her kick, but lunged forward immediately moving to strike against her head on with his sword, swinging it from the side, preparing to give a flurry of strikes as she blocked them. He wanted to get her off her feet and on the ground.

Christian shook his head,”I don’t know. It doesn’t seem like she’ll be left alone anytime soon, and I don’t know about you but I’ve never really tried to talk to those two before. They might find it odd,”he grumbled, referring to Kumiko and Kassie.

Spencer nodded at Kassie, taking note about the other children of the Big Three mentioned, feeling a little relieved to know that they were mostly nice and like any normal half-blood, if the campers could even be called that. But at least they didnt sound full of themselves.”I’m not one to judge, this is the most I’ve talked to people in the few weeks I’ve been here,”she admitted, not bothered by the thought of Hades kids being quiet and reserved. She glanced up as she noticed a tall, broad-shouldered boy enter the pavilion, a scowl on his clearly handsome face as he walked around clearly searching for someone. “Who is that?”she asked more quietly to Kumiko and Kassie.
