Camp Jupiter Lake

Subject: Camp Jupiter Lake 4/8/2012, 3:50 pm

Gale strolled into the lake with her bow perpendicular to her body in her hand, adjusting her feet as she stepped on the rocks. Along the way, she found a large gray rock, and sat down. She sighed, and pulled her blonde waves back into a ponytail, it was had already been a tough day with the training and all. This camp was so big she still couldn't find her brother, if he was here, she didnt know. Also, she tripped and fell into some mud, walking out of her cabin, meaning she had to shower again. She wouldn't be suprised if there was dirt in her nose or ear still. She breathed a sigh, resting her bow on her lap, and started to adjust the laced string on the right side of her body, just under her arm. Pulling it tighter,Gale could feel the brown leather armer fit better now. It was snug, and easier to move around in without it shifting.

Maggie was incredibly bored on this boring spring day in Camp Jupiter, and being bored wasn't something that she particularly enjoyed. Being bored gave a person some time to think, and thinking was pretty much the last thing she wanted to do at this point. She had been a bit of a mess ever since she arrived at Camp Jupiter with her brother, Damon, running away from their father and leaving all memories of their sister behind, memories that were just beginning to catch up with her. She shook off the thought and continued walking down the lake, enjoying the tranquility but wishing that she had something to do at the same time. Her life wasn't really hard, but sometimes it felt like it, and she liked to be active to take her mind off of everything that had been going on. She noticed a girl about sitting on a rock and waved at her nonchalantly, unsure of whether or not she even wished to initiate a conversation at the moment.

((Sorry for the crap post. xP))

Gale absentmindedly put her skinny fingers in her mouth and started biting her nails, unaware of the other girl walking in. All the stress of just arriving at camp, training non-stop, and barely knowing anyone gave her headaches. A little bit farther from where she was, she noticed a wave, and out of the corner of her eye she looked at the girl. She didnt care if it was creepy looking, but it hurt her eyes, so she turned her head and waved at the girl politely.

Margaret saw the girl wave back and she made her way towards her. What could go wrong, she completely embarrassed herself? Or she could make a new friend, which certainly wouldn't be a bad thing. She sat down lower down on the rock where the other girl was sitting, tucking her legs beneath her. Then she mentally kicked herself in the head, hoping this girl wouldn't act fake to her like so many others did. You see, Maggie, being a daughter of Venus, drew people to her, made them want to like her upon meeting her. It usually worked on boys more than girls, but sometimes it just annoyed Maggie when people would always seek friendships with her, people she didn't even know. She avoided the girl's gaze for a minute, hoping it would wear off. "Hi," she said finally, looking at the girl straight on.

Subject: Re: Camp Jupiter Lake 4/8/2012, 10:52 pm

Gale stared at the girl throw the side of her eyes, watching what she did, and forced herself not to glare at every single person that tried to be nice to her. Already, she felt drawn to the girl. For some odd reason, Gale felt as if she knew this girl, like she was an old friend, or long lost cousin. Well they were family, basically, but besides from that. "Hey.." She sighed resting her head on her hands, leading down to her elbows digging themselves into her thighs. She hoped this girl wouldnt be one of those preppy, happy, lairs. Those people struct Gale as traitors and back-stabbers. She wanted someone who was brutally honest, like ,her brother,Vlad.

Darcy Greene

Darcy jumped off the dock and into the lake with a cannonball. Darcy surface a few feet away. There wasn't many people here. She smiled and put her hair in a ponytail. She was wearing a purple bathing suit, trying to keep the Camp Jupiter spirit. Darcy wiped the water from her eyes and just floated for a moment. She could see fish swimming around her ankles. They were so friendly. Darcy smiled again and swam underwater.

Maggie sat awkwardly after the other girl said "Hi" back, unsure of how to respond. She sat, trying to wait a sufficient number of seconds before her effect wore off. She could never really tell, but she always hoped that it faded with time. At least, it seemed like it did, so that's what she assumed. She watched a new girl, another blonde, bound in and jump in the water, and she chuckled slightly. "Someone's enthusiastic," she murmured with a small smile, easy sarcasm embedded in her tone of voice.

Subject: Re: Camp Jupiter Lake 4/17/2012, 8:33 pm

Gale looked away from the girl, already assuming her parent was one of the beauty and love one's. 1, She was pretty, and Gale wouldn't be suprised if Vlad talked to her already, and 2, The girl's familiar-ness, which she would tell was a power. Seeing another girl, Gale watched her, just as she had with the other girl. She watched as she swam, but suprising chuckled at the love girl's comment. "Yeah i guess. Maybe a little too much caffiene?"

Subject: Re: Camp Jupiter Lake 4/17/2012, 10:44 pm

Maggie watched the other girl swimming after she spoke. The girl looked a little too.. quirky for her taste, but then again she was only judging her based on less than a minute of observation. She looked back at the girl above her as she spoke, happy that she was amused rather than irritated with her comment. "Probably," Margaret conceded with another small, somewhat nervous chuckle. "I'm Maggie," she introduced herself, making eye contact with the girl. She refused to introduce herself as Margaret. Though she kind of liked her name, she felt like it was too formalized and just not suitable for her whatsoever.

Subject: Re: Camp Jupiter Lake 4/17/2012, 11:29 pm

Gale watched the girl swim. Maybe she'd drown? Gale took a breath. You cannot take your stress out on others. Idiot. . Once she heard Maggie spoke she looked at her. "Im Gale" She smiled. "And if you happen to see a dark haired kid with weird eyes, and a strangling personality, that's my brother. Vlad. If you do see him, could you do me a favor and tell him im here and camp, and waiting to find his butt?"She smirked, looking more clossely at the girl's features.

Darcy shookee her hair like a dog and widened her eyes. "Wow!" She let out a sigh, dropped her chest. She blinked and widened her eyes again when she opened them. Darcy scanned her surroundings. There was two girls a little off to her north-right. She waves at them because they were looking at her. She just wanted to be nice. Being hyped up didn't help much though. Thats why you shouldn't eat your whole stash of candy at the sametime. Darcy flopped into the water, doing almost a back-flop instead of belly.

Subject: Re: Camp Jupiter Lake 4/18/2012, 6:06 pm

Margaret nodded when Gale announced her name, and watched her as she described her brother, Vlad, and chuckled. "I haven't seen him, and I was planning on hanging around here for a bit, but if I do I'll try to let you know." She looked out at the lake a bit bitterly, at the girl splashing around, who promptly turned and waved in their direction. Maggie gave a halfhearted wave back, turning again towards Gale to speak.

"I understand your problem, though. I have an older brother, and this camp is so big. I can never find him." She was constantly looking for her brother, too, seeking solace when thoughts of her sister became too frequent. "Not that I want to be around him all the time, though." For some reason she felt more comfortable talking to this girl than she probably should, maybe because she reminded her a bit of herself.

Subject: Re: Camp Jupiter Lake 4/18/2012, 6:46 pm

Gale smiled. Finally someone who understands! She waved lightly back to the girl. "Me either, it's just the reassurance of knowing they'll back you up in a time like this." She said looking down at her hands. First her mom. She couldn't bear to lose Vlad. Even though he annoyed her to no end. "What's your brother's name?" She asked curiously. You see, Gale has a very picky personality, resulting in judging people by names. If it's too common, that person wont stand out. They seem boring and dull. If it's unique, she'll have a better attitude towards them.

Subject: Re: Camp Jupiter Lake 4/18/2012, 8:29 pm

Margaret looked at Gale, who looked hurt in some way. Maybe she'd experienced loss much as Maggie had, but then again, Maggie had no idea. After a moment, she responded. "My brother's name is Damon," she stated. "He's kind of protective, and a bit uptight at times, but he's my brother and I love him. It's gotten worse, he used to be a lot more.. fun. He still is, though, but not as much since-" she cut herself off, looking away from Gale. Why was she telling her this?

Subject: Re: Camp Jupiter Lake 4/18/2012, 10:49 pm

Gale smiled. She remembered having a friend named Damon. "That sounds like my brother." She said, realizing she'd cut herself off. "My father is Auster." She could feel a warm breath roll in as she said his name. It made her smile brighter, and feel warm inside. Gale pulled her blonde hair out of it's ponytail and let it flow in the breeze. "Im guessing your parent is something along the lines of love and beauty?"

Subject: Re: Camp Jupiter Lake 4/18/2012, 11:28 pm

Maggie looked back at her, glad for the subject change. "Really? That's cool," she responded to discovering Gale's father, but frowned in distaste when Gale made a comment about her mother. "Everyone just assumes that... I mean, they're right, but it annoys me to no end. I guess there's nothing bad about being a daughter of Venus, but I feel so different from my siblings, and the powers my mom gave me don't exactly make it easy for me to like her..." she muttered the last part, taking a sudden interest in her fingernails.

Subject: Re: Camp Jupiter Lake 4/20/2012, 7:28 pm

Gale shrugged. "It's quite obvious though. I guess you'll have to learn how to use those powers for your advantage." She said looking at her. "I dont like my father. My siblings are all happy and smiley because they can creat warm breezes and such. Don't get me wrong, I like the warmth, but I dislike the judgement. I've learned to, just, stand on my own." Gale smiled lightly. She knew excatly what the girl meant.

Subject: Re: Camp Jupiter Lake 4/21/2012, 1:11 am

Maggie shrugged. "I don't know if I'll ever be able to control my abilities, they've been like this for a long time..." she looked towards the water. "I have the 'power' to attract people, but not always the right people. It's more effective on males than females, but they're drawn to me nonetheless, and monsters are drawn to it, too. I never know when someone's being genuine in interacting with me, or just under the influence. It wears off after a few minutes, or so I believe, but it's still aggravating." She sighed, turning back to Gale to hear her discuss her siblings. "My siblings... I just don't click with them, either. They're all clones of one another, wearing the same clothes and makeup and hair, and a lot of them are a bit stuck up. There are a few normal ones, but I feel like it's a constant sleepover party that I was only invited to because one of the girls felt sorry for me."

Subject: Re: Camp Jupiter Lake 4/22/2012, 1:04 pm

Gale nods, and twirls her fingers around each other, listening. "Yeah, it's a bit annoying." She says. "Well, at least we're the different, yet, awesome ones" She smiled, looking around.It feels like any second, Vlad would just pop out of the trees and hug her. But Gale knew that was too good to be true, like the scenerios she usually comes up with.

Subject: Re: Camp Jupiter Lake 4/22/2012, 2:31 pm

Maggie shrugged, looking down at her hands and then back up at Gale. "We're individualized," she chuckled. "Sometimes it's amusing, though, to listen to my half-siblings ramble about the dumbest things." She remembered last night when one of her siblings went on and on about what she would do if she could meet Louis Tomlinson from One Direction. It was a little pathetic, actually.

Subject: Re: Camp Jupiter Lake 4/22/2012, 10:24 pm

Gale smiled. "So, how did you get here? She asked curiously, looking at the water. New York was so much different from California. The weather was about the same, but the sky seemed darker to her. Cloudy. Not as lively.

Subject: Re: Camp Jupiter Lake 4/22/2012, 10:50 pm

Margaret cringed slightly at this question, the one she hated. "It's.. kind of a long story, I guess." She didn't feel like disclosing everything that'd happened to a girl she barely knew. "Basically, there were some issues at home with my father, so my brother and I ran away." She looked away, realizing that it was pretty obvious that there was more to it than that. "We probably should have seen another option, but..."

Subject: Re: Camp Jupiter Lake 4/22/2012, 11:22 pm

Gale could tell by the tone in her voice she didnt want to talk about it. "Sorry.." She said waiting for her to end. "Well, my story's almost the same. My mom wondered and she ended up dieing. Vlad and I were put in an orphanage, and I ended up escaping. For all i know he could be dead right now. I guess our lives are both screwed up, but well, i guess every demigods is."

Subject: Re: Camp Jupiter Lake 4/22/2012, 11:41 pm

"Oh," stated Maggie, listening to her story. "I'm sorry about your mom, and your brother..." she murmured. "My sister, Grace, went missing two years ago, so I get it. We still haven't found her, but my dad thinks she's dead," Margaret shrugged. "But you're right... all of our lives are interesting, though some are better than others."

Subject: Re: Camp Jupiter Lake 4/24/2012, 8:06 pm

"It's fine" Gale shrugged. "Sorry about your sister. That's horrible. It's worse not knowing what happened to her, rather than knowing what did happen." She sighed. "She'll turn up someday. Trust me. I've had to wait weeks to actually hear from my mother and know she was still alive. That's brought me years of patience. Your's is coming along nicely." She smiled
