august 14th [iris message]

[lavenderglasses]

 [for someone attempting an iris message for the first time, here's someone who seems pretty at ease with the whole "talking at a rainbow" thing. he's all smiles and politeness -- and yeah, that is indeed a guy. though it might not be very clear until he starts talking (and not even then, if you aren't very perceptive).]

Nice weather, here. If it's really like this all the time, then I might not mind this place after all.

[talking about the weather seems like such a cliche, but he does it with such an easy charm that one might mistake him for a child of aphrodite.]

My name is Saralegui Sargon. I suppose I'm a new arrival here, most likely a permanent one, but I've done my research so I promise no one will have to explain every little thing to me. Still, I hope you'll forgive me if I do trip up anywhere. I'll be taking care of Cabin Fifteen for the time being, so that's where I'll likely be if anyone needs anything. Just try not to fall asleep.

[he says it teasingly, but no that is kind of a serious threat. you've officially been warned and he no longer has to take any responsibility for anyone passing out and smashing their head on something.]

[super spooky. nah, look at him, he is the picture of innocence.]

Mm, I suppose it doesn't seem like much compared to what I'm sure others here are capable of. Most of the other gods seem rather more battle-ready, from what I've seen.

[lastplaceigo]

Nothing wrong with working from the sidelines. I mean, like, if you can actually make people fall asleep in the middle of a fight? Cool.

[She shrugs, pausing for a second.]

I'm Margot, by the way. I'm the counselor over at Cabin Five.

[lavenderglasses]

Your optimism is refreshing, at least. It's a pleasure to meet you, Margot. So which god does Cabin Five belong to?

[lastplaceigo]

Always good to have a strategy is the way I look at it.

Yeah, nice to meet you too. And, uh, Ares. God of War.

[lavenderglasses]

See? As I said, battle-ready. I would assume, at least.

[hopefully you live up to expectations, or that could be embarrassing.]

[lastplaceigo]

Wouldn't be Ares' daughter otherwise.

[Three years at camp, training training training. So as much as she can anyway.]

I mean, you know, kind of our thing, fighting, war, blah blah blah.

[lavenderglasses]

At least there seems to be a great deal of that in this world. You'll always be in high demand, while I doubt anyone will be coming to me for help unless they're having trouble sleeping.

[lastplaceigo]

Uh-huh... I still wouldn't sell yourself so short, at least not yet. Like I said, you never know.

And look -- since you're all new and stuff, if you ever need help around camp, lemme know, yeah?

[lavenderglasses]

A very generous offer, if coming a bit late in the season. Unless you're a permanent resident here as well?

[lastplaceigo]

Permanent, three years and counting. [Sheepish grin.] Not complaining or anything, but yeah. Haven't left.

[lavenderglasses]

Then I'll keep you in mind, should I ever need help here.

[he smiles, and his tone is lighthearted, but that's a serious note to self. he's never one to ignore a potential resource.]
