Hey, camp.

[ Not that she holds any superstitions relating to the day itself, but the Hecate counselor can't help a grin from where she sits on the steps of her cabin after breakfast. Is that ... thunder and lightning in her Iris Message or are your eyes deceiving you? ]

Since Friday the Thirteenth is upon us --

[ There's a witchy cackle in the background and she stifles a snicker. ]

-- Sorry, couldn't help it. Anyway.

[ With a wave of her hand, the thundering stops, though it still looks like she's somehow wandered onto the set of Sleepy Hollow. ]

We don't have any experts on dream interpretation, would we? No, it's, uh nothing serious. Now that I'm getting sleep - not that you care - it's been weird.

But enough about me. [ An unusually impish smile forms on her lips. ] I just wanted to warn you all to beware the black cats in camp, that's all. [ It isn't often that Natalie pulls pranks, but when she does, she goes all out. Besides, something funny should help lighten the mood. Even she will play a part in lifting some spirits and since Hebe was so kind to have dropped a bunch of animals on the place...

Letting a black cat cross your path will either a) put a full rain cloud over your head b) leave you a little ... tongue tied (did you mean to ask questions in another language?) c) give you actual butter fingers. The effects don't last any longer than a couple of hours. ]

Sorry in advance. I'm just practicing.

[ In a clap of thunder, the feed ends. ]

I've managed before, thanks. It's no different than when other people use their demigod powers, I guess. Like controlling the water or the air or even plants. You feel drained every time until you get some ambrosia or nectar.

[ She shrugs. Concern is something she tends to shy away from, from anyone. ]

I'm just - glad that my thingy worked.

[lastplaceigo]

[And Margot won't push the concern, especially if she says she's okay.]

Well cool.

Can't wait for a bigger spell next time. Just, you know, don't do it anywhere near me.

Duly noted. [ Margot gets a salute. ] Yeah, I'm much better at target practice, anyway.

[ She smirks. See? All is good in Natalieland right now. Sort of. ]
