SITUATION POST: JUNE 27, 2013

[Today is the festival of Skira, which can be both a good thing or a bad thing, depending on who you are at Camp Half-Blood. It's a day about celebrating all female goddesses, so Chiron has taken it upon himself to make it a day of female empowerment. Classes are being taught all over camp celebrating the female heroes of old, and the statues of Hera, Demeter, Athena, and the like are decorated, polished, and clothed in beautiful fabrics suiting each of their temperaments.

Most of all, though, this day is great for the nymphs, since an unofficial rule of Skira for Camp Half Blood has always been 'what the girls say, goes'. So tonight, the boys are serving up the meals at dinner while the nymphs relax.]

They make me a little anxious, but they are inspiring on the feminism front.

[ Resting one elbow on the table, Anna carefully bookmarks her page and then rests her cheek in her open palm. ] It's interesting and - nice, though, how they've always had both Romans and Greeks.

Yeah, I guess we could learn something from them. That's what Chiron would say, anyway.

[Aw, what the hell. It's only for a minute. Gabriel puts down the rest of his plates on the Demeter table and parks it on the ground next to Anna.]

Still? Their youngest could probably beat me to a pulp with her pinky. Think on that one for a second.

[Despite being great with mind games and pretty light on his feet, Gabriel wasn't exactly buff or strong - in any way. It was kind of a point of contention with him.

So the Hunters? Intimidated him a little bit. The Amazons? Warning alarmss in his head. Don't mess around wiith those girls.]

[ She covers her face with one hand to stifle a giggle, but she can't deny that the idea of a wee Amazon beating the crap out of Gabriel is darkly funny.

Quickly, though, she clears her throat and puts on her serious face.

I thought about it. I do agree, though, that there's something to learn from their way of life.

It's okay, you can laugh. Trust me, I would.

[He holds out some grapes still on the vine to her, dangling them over her head.]

Why, you ever think about joining them or something?

N-no, oh, no, never actually. I disagree with some of their policies.

[ Becoming a Hunter never crossed her mind either, but living under the protection of Artemis was appealing. But on the other hand, being an Amazon meant that she could at least have a relationship with a boy.

Nah, she's perfectly content to be a camper, and perhaps a counselor in a few years.

Really, now? What is it, 'cause I know it's not the whole 'girls' club' thing. In fact, I'd kind of think you guys would all be into that stuff.

[He leans back in the grass, resting his head in his hands. Gabriel's getting a little lazy with the whole 'serving everybody' thing.]
