CAMP WIDE IRIS MESSAGE - or story time with a satyr

[trust_the_goatman]

[The Iris Message has been sent out to the entire Camp, and it’s a safe bet that the saytre sitting out by the beach with a friendly smile drew the short end of the stick.

 

Except he offered.]

 

So. These last two weeks stunk.

 

[Meet Tai, Camp Half-Blood, also known as Mr. State-the-Obvious. He’s been away for a while, but some campers might have seen him around in the past (and more often than not this past year, with a daughter of Demeter trailing behind him around like a lost duckling).

 

Today he’s alone though, idly rolling a baseball between his hands. There’s a strain to his smile.]

 

And yeah. Because of what happened Mr. D and Chiron have decided that everyone’ll be staying for the rest of the year. [A barely concealed cringe.] They’re working on what to do about schools and such, and probably getting in touch with parents and guardians but I’d suggest you guys give yours a call?

 

Anyways. I’m out here by the beach, and I figured if anyone wanted to talk about what’s happened I’m a pretty good listener. I’ve also been told I give good hugs.

 

[The grin brightens, a bit.]

 

Or if you don’t want to talk, I am pretty good at telling stories if you want a distraction. Either that or we can toss a baseball around or… Or something.

 

[He looks a bit sheepish. It’s safe to say he didn’t think this through.]

 

Just. These last two weeks sucked, so if anyone needs anything I’m here.

 

[And it’s a genuine offer.]

Petal 03 -- Open to Action

[shylyintrepid]

[When the feed starts, Jehan is clearly not in his cabin. He's down by the shore.

And he's been crying. His voice is hoarse and when he speaks, his accent is a bit thicker than usual]

If...if anyone else knew Zane, son of Venus, he...

[He wants to say "died". Died would be so much easier than the truth]

He was a...he was an agent of the Red Room. This entire time. He...he was here to spy on us.

[And he cuts the IM. As he does, you can see him break down yet again. It's going to be a long time before he recovers from this heartbreak]
