[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.

[ 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. ]

[inomnetempus]

Mmm. The only ones who seem to understand are Dionysus's brood. But this year may change some things if I have any say in it.

What's your name, by the way? Can't plan a party without knowing who the guest of honor is~

[commandertoolbelt]

One of them just threw a party the other day.

[ He laughs. ]

I'm Leo. Cabin Nine counselor.

[inomnetempus]

Well, at least they haven't been slacking while I've been gone.

[Her face lights up.] You're a counselor? Oh, this is even better.

[commandertoolbelt]

[ He raises an eyebrow. ]

What's do special about that?

[inomnetempus]

I usually don't need an excuse for "go big or go home" but if anyone asks this time...

[commandertoolbelt]

So, if you know about Mr. D's kids, you can't be new, but I don't think I've seen you around before? Did you go on vacation this summer instead of coming to camp, or what?

[inomnetempus]

Oh, I've been coming to camp since I was eleven but I took a detour with my adoptive family this year. [She makes a face.] Did you know there's nothing in Forks, Washington? Like, at all?

[commandertoolbelt]

Consider me informed. I've only been around the Southwest before I came here, but there's not much out there, either.

[ At least, not where he was. ]

Unless you count the Grand Canyon, but it's hard to think of that as fun when you fall down the side.

[inomnetempus]

[This face forever.]

...perhaps I'm in the minority, but I would consider falling down the side of the Grand Canyon rather hazardous to one's health.

[commandertoolbelt]

[ It's not like he did it on purpose. ]

No, you're right. Totally hazardous. I could've died.

[inomnetempus]

Well, it's a good thing you didn't or you would miss this fantastic birthday party I'm going to throw for you.

[commandertoolbelt]

And that would be the real tragedy.
