halfbloodhill | august 14th [iris message]

[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.]

Well, yes.

[She looks around, making sure no one is around to hear her or intercept the IM.]

This summer, we have become hosts here at camp to Roman demigods, Egyptian magicians, and Norse...well, the Norse gods reborn, if I understand the situation correctly. Although we have all done our best to work together as the lady Hera has advised...there are some who are set in their ways or who hold beliefs which do not mesh with Greek ideals.

[ooh, secrets already? he does like you. his eyebrows raise slightly at the new information, but otherwise he remains remarkably unpeturbed.]

Not surprising, given how widely varied some cultures are in their beliefs and priorities. Should I just assume at this point that all myth from any country is most likely real in some way, then?

[She nods sagely, as if she's speaking from own personal experience. Partially, she is.]

That's what I've come to believe, yes. I've done my fair share of reading on the new mythologies that have turned up at camp - the Athena cabin has quite a library.

I suppose I'll have to do more research. Do the Athena campers mind others using their library? I don't imagine it would be very easy or wise to try getting to a normal one.

It's quite alright, actually. Many of us read books there on a regular basis.

But, Saralegui? Do not forget to ask first.

[She gives him a small, knowing smile. The Athena kids are particularly precious with their books.]
