[It's choose your own adventure time with Charlie! There are so many things to do around camp, he isn't even sure where to start. He settles on the first thing that pops into his head: Apollo Scouts. He is currently the only one and that is a sad thing.

Let's fix this.

>> You walk into the arts and crafts cabin.
Once he has finished breakfast, Charlie is hunched over a table with two stacks of paper, one large and one much smaller. He meticulously draws on a sheet with some orange and yellow crayons, tongue poking out in concentration, before finishing and putting his handiwork onto the smaller stack.

He will be doing this for hours.

>> You spy a young boy taping a poster to a tree.
Fruits of his labour complete, Charlie is out and about camp sticking the posters up to trees.

Of course, he's being very careful about what trees he's sticking them to. After all, he doesn't know if there's a nymph in there or not so he knocks politely on each and every trunk. If there's answer then he tapes -- yes, tapes, what if she's not home?! -- the paper to the tree before moving on to the next, humming happily to himself.

The paper probably falls to the ground two seconds later. He tried.

>> You have questions.
And Charlie is happy to answer them!

When he's done hanging everything up and eating dinner, he'll be outside of the Apollo Cabin with a bunch of his action figures, staging an epic battle.]

[Remember what she said about glitter?
Simply being around it, Eponine has managed to attract glitter.

Congratulations, Charlie. You made Eponine glitter like a Unicorn.]


I'm sure the monster that lives in the glitter did, then. [There is no glitter monster.]

And now that I look like Ke$ha...

Charlie-- don't. Just hold still. Here, we can fix this. [Eponine gets off the table and grabs a large piece of construction paper. With one hand, she brushes as much glitter as she can on to it.] Put all the glitter you can on this. We'll use it like a dust pan.
ospreyed: (cheeky)

It's cool, don't worry about it. Glitter was just not a good idea. We should leave it for the glitter monsters.

Hold the bottle? I'm gonna try to siphon it in.
ospreyed: (coy)

Maybe. But I don't think so. [She smiles, and takes the paper in both hands, using it to slowly pour the glitter back into the bottle.] It's probably... Not glitter.

Probably. But I'm also pretty sure that glitter monsters don't exist. [She smiles at him, though, climbing back up on to her spot on the crafts table, sitting with her legs crossed.]
ospreyed: (smile)

[personal profile] ospreyed 2013-08-18 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
No, I haven't. But I am pretty sure I also just made them up.
ospreyed: (not what i wanted)

I was making a joke. But hey, you believed me. Which really goes to say something for my godly talents.
ospreyed: (smug)

[personal profile] ospreyed 2013-08-18 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Kinda. [She leans back, putting her hands down on the table behind her.] Hermes is the trickster god, kinda. Messenger god. So my brothers and I happen to be good at all sorts of trickery. Lying is part of that, and definitely part of the powers of persuasion we've got going on.

But I could tell you stories.
ospreyed: (cheeky)

[personal profile] ospreyed 2013-08-18 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, gotta be careful with that. [Hah. Cute story about her and lying. It was almost compulsive at times. But they won't talk about that.]

Sure. Why not?
