Petal 01 - IM - open to action or whatever

[shylyintrepid]

[The IM today shows the recently arrived counselor of the Demeter cabin, rubbing the back of his neck a little awkwardly. When he speaks, he has a light French accent]

Sorry I haven’t been to camp in a while. [More like "since the whole Titan fiasco started"] Mama--ah, my stepmother, not..you know--didn’t want me over in the States with all the chaos going on and then there was a problem with my passport. For those of you who are new, I’m Jean Prouvaire of the Demeter cabin, though I really prefer it if people use 'Jehan'. I'm the counselor for my cabin as well.

[He smiles]

Um, if anyone needs any help, anything at all, I’d be happy to help. You don’t have to be in my cabin or anything. I’m usually outside somewhere and if you can’t find me one of the nymphs should be able to.

[He waves and cuts the IM]

[That draws a small snort from him]

Oh my, indeed. That's not even including the Red Room.

[Enjolras sighs, dragging a hand through his hair.]

I fear things might get worse before they get better.

[shylyintrepid]

Things always do. And, um, the what room?

[worldabouttodawn]

The Red Room. They were mentioned in the prophecy:

"Gaea’s vaulted Red Room waits.
Halflings as the final bait."

[And to say he's lost a lot of sleep trying to decipher the prophecy is an understatement. It's safe to assume he knows the entire prophecy by heart now.]

From what Natalie and Percy told us, they're a group of demigods who are recruiting others and feeding those who oppose them to Gaea.

[shylyintrepid]

That's...surprisingly disturbing, even for a Titan or whatever she is. Um.

[worldabouttodawn]

Just a bit.

[Another sigh.]

Sorry, this isn't the best of greetings.

[shylyintrepid]

No, it's fine. I need to know about this stuff, right?

[He smiles]

Any injustices you're interested in fighting against?

[worldabouttodawn]

[It's a welcome change of subject.]

Currently I'm thinking of protesting against the idea that we have to sit at separate tables during meals. It's ridiculous and there is absolutely no basing behind it besides us being told something would happen.

[shylyintrepid]

Like what? We make friends? Which we do anyway?

[Eyeroll]

It's the stupidest idea in the history of stupid ideas.

[worldabouttodawn]

God forbid we make friends outside of our families.

Utterly ridiculous.

[shylyintrepid]

We're all technically one big family anyway! Persephone married our uncle, after all, and Hera is Zeus's sister as well as his wife.

[worldabouttodawn]

Which is all the more reason we should be able to sit where ever we please.

[The wheels in his head are definitely turning.]
