001 - Iris Message

[Wait a second. Who in the world...? For some campers, this face is familiar and incites a feeling of either excitement or dread. For others who aren't in the know (poor things), she's just a tiny, spiky-haired girl with a bright dimpled smile on her face]

Well, isn't there a plethora of new faces here for me to meet~?

Now, you all are probably familiar with the ins-and-outs of our little camp and I should probably tell you that you don't know the half of it, but half the fun is in discovery, isn't it? If everything goes well (quests notwithstanding again this year), I'm sure we'll get the ball rolling with some extra...recreational activities around here. I can't wait to meet all of you!

[She pauses, looking thoughtful.]

That being said, if anyone has any birthdays or anniversaries coming up, let me know. And speaking of, Cabin Twelve...[she winks] we need to talk~

[The IM looks as if it's about to end, but then...] Oh, Enjolras? you have to come back to the cabin eventually. I'll be waiting.

[ Who is she? He hasn't got a clue, but she asked. ]

My birthday's this Friday.

[inomnetempus]

[Oh, Leo. No one's warned you yet? She claps her hands in excitement.]

Fantastic! I never get people to respond to these things.

[commandertoolbelt]

[ He has no idea what he's in for, but this kid hasn't had a birthday party for eight years, so bring it on. ]

What, are they more scared of having a little fun than fighting monsters?

[ Because he'll take the fun, thanks. ]

[creepyfreezone]

What's a birthday?

[inomnetempus]

[Alice isn't sure whether she's kidding or not. She thinks about it for a moment.]

Just what it sounds like. I'm guessing you've never had a birthday party?

[creepyfreezone]

If it's what it sounds like it wouldn't apply. I wasn't born.

*She doesn't sound like she's joking.*

[moointhedark]

Aww, I already had my birthday back in February... Do you think we can do something cool for it next year?

[inomnetempus]

Of course! [She winks.] And it will be very, very cool.

[moointhedark]

[Best. Sister. Ever. Actually, he pretty much thinks that about his entire extended family, but. Alice is number one right now.] Can it be superhero themed? And can there be balloons? And a dinosaur cake?

[suburbias]

( Johnny's still not used to Iris Messages as they always, always, always seem to be popping up when he's least expecting one.

Of course, this time he's being the most boring human being on the planet and writing a letter. The time that there's a pretty girl who's talking about Cabin Twelve -- his cabin, oh gods -- and winking. Perfect.

A little flustered, he crumbles up the paper he was writing on and tosses it behind him, addressing the dark-haired girl in the I.M. ) Uh ... Cabin Twelve here, reporting for duty.

[inomnetempus]

Oh, fantastic. I was hoping one of you would reply soon. Listen, I need help planning a party. A big party.

[suburbias]

( He raises an eyebrow. ) Yeah? What's the occasion?

( Please. Like there needs to be one. )

[excusing]

[ With one Jingletown kid comes another in the form of Heather, who looks impishly thoughtful. ]

My bro's in Twelve! He's not really my bro, but you know. [ She tilts her head to one side. ]

What business d'you have with the Bacchus kids? And by business I mean what kind of party you wanna throw.

[inomnetempus]

Oh, nothing really. Just a shindig that should maybe tide the camp over until the next holiday~

[excusing]

You just missed Johnny's party then! It, like, just happened. He's the Dionysus kid I was referring to.

[wokethedragon]

[Dany's in the forges, and she gives Alice a little nod and a smile on the rainbow as she's tinkering with something small and bronze.]

My brother's birthday is coming up. I don't think you know him, as he's new this year, but...if you'd like a celebration, I see it as good as any reason.

[inomnetempus]

The one who went bungee-jumping into the Grand Canyon?

[worldabouttodawn]

[Oh gods. No.]

Where have you been?

[He's going to be avoiding the cabin like the plague...

Though he is glad to see Alice. He was a bit worried after everything with the Red Room.]

[inomnetempus]

Why, did you miss me~?

[There's that spark in her eye. You know which one it is.] You're going to have to tell me all about your summer.

[serenesuccessor]

Ummm, my birthdays not 'til May...

[And Naomi's kind of hoping that by then she'll be able to go home. She misses her little town.]

'm Naomi.

[inomnetempus]

[She laughs.] Ample time to a plan a party, though.

I'm Alice. Pleasure to meet you, Naomi.

[thewindything]

At least we'll have something going on here. My birthday's April 13th. I'm John.

[inomnetempus]

Pleasure to meet you, John. Don't tell me it's been... [she grimaces] ...quiet?

IM!

[coughsyrup]

Oooh, oooh, are we plotting evil things to do to Enjolras again?

[inomnetempus]

[Why hello there! Alice's smile is devious.]

No more so than last year~
