[Reyna does not look pleased. Then again, she rarely does... But this is worse than usual. She's in her usual: Hair braided, jeans and her Camp Jupiter shirt. Except there is something glaringly wrong with her shirt.

It reads "Mom" like a name tag in the corner.]

Just who is responsible for altering all of my camp shirts like this?

[..... And if one would care to note, her anger has her red in the face. And ears.

Except that's from embarrassment, not from anger.]

Okay, I had an idea when I was teaching sword class earlier. We've been living together for awhile now and we've managed to not kill each other, so our "adjustment period" is probably over. It's time to start thinking about how we can work together, and not just having dances or parties or whatever.

[Not that he minds fun time, but he remembers last year, and how insane everything got. It's time to start preparing for that again.]

I've already cleared this with Chiron, so tomorrow afternoon there's going to be a big meeting at the campfire for anyone who wants to come - Greek, Roman, Norse, Egyptian, counselor, legionnaire, satyr, whoever, if you're in camp, you can come. Most of us already know more or less how our own groups work, but we need to get all of us working together. We got taken by surprise before, and we don't want that to happen again. Since we don't know where to go to look for these guys, we can at least work on our defenses, and maybe if we all work as one big group they won't be expecting that and we'll buy more time. I know it seems like we just got out of war conditions - okay, yeah, that's true, but they're not gonna leave us alone just because we fought last year. It's time for us to prepare as much as we can.

[He pushes himself off the steps of the Poseidon cabin where he'd been sitting, getting ready to walk off to somewhere - and then pauses.]

Oh yeah, one more thing - if anyone does anything to my sister, you're going to regret it. You have no idea how much.

[Yeah, that flash in his eyes there at the end? That's a hint to how dangerous Percy can be when he wants. He's so serious about that it's not even funny.]

[Jehan is outside again today, on his cabin's porch. He has a bowl of cranberries and is apparently threading them on some string with little plastic snowflakes in between each berry. Jehan is also in the tackiest coat known to man. For starters, it's got a pink floral pattern over a mustard yellow background, and it's not a pink that looks good with his strawberry hair. The coat also has other mismatch floral patches obviously sewn on there for looks.

He smiles.]

So, if I were to start decorating the Demeter cabin for Christmas, including growing a tree, who would want to help? Yes, I know it's November but by this time Mama and I would have had everything but the nativity scene, the tree, and the Christmas village up! I'm getting anxious because I'm not ready!

[And Thanksgiving isn't even a holiday he thinks about]

Also, if you'd like a present from me I'd like ideas. Everyone's getting cookies or proper French pastries whether I know you or not, and I won't hear anything about diets! And no, Joly, it will not kill you!

[Most people (newbies excepted) would probably recognize the teenager that walks straight out of the ocean on the afternoon of the 19th, just as casually as if he were walking down the street in Anytown USA. If the fact that he's choosing to swim fully-clothed in October in New York doesn't give away who he is, the fact that he isn't soaking wet probably does.]

[He needs to meet with Chiron, but the first place Percy goes is actually the Poseidon cabin, closer to the ocean and his home-away-from-home, so he can drop off the small pack he's carrying - but less than ten seconds after he walks through the door, he tears back out it again and back down to the ocean.]

When were you gonna tell me I had a sister?!

[Yup, he's totally screaming at the ocean. This would have been nice to know, okay Dad?]

[An Iris Message opens up to the sight of a ferocious dragon!

Or really it's just Naomi in a dragon hoodie, smiling from ear to ear as she bounces.]

So Halloween's soon! Like, like, next week soon! Um, I know someone was talking about making a Haunted House...

[Her expression should make it clear that Naomi has zero interest in that]

... But I wanted to try decorating the camp! I found some decorations in the Arts 'nd Crafts cabin earlier, 'nd I made some more. Does anybody wanna help me put them up?

Also what's everyone doing on Halloween? Do we still get to trick or treat?

[She tilts her head, and it looks comical with the hood up. She's about to get rid of the rainbow when a thought strikes her.]

Oh yeah! Daaaave! I've got a question!

[ Rainbows seem kind of impractical, if you ask Gale. Quicker than the messengers they'd used in New Rome, at least, but there's so much that could go wrong with these IMs. If you're hunting when you get one, you could kiss your prey goodbye. What if you're in a life or death situation that relies on stealth? Good luck getting out of that one. What if you just so happen to be taking a bath - or if you're in any other sort of compromising situation - when someone decides it's time to sit down for a nice chat? And on top of all that, you have to hope there's a rainbow nearby, or you can't even send your message.

All in all, he prefers the messengers. There's less risk involved, as far as he's concerned. So when this IM goes out, he's looking rather unimpressed with it. ]

So. Camp Half-Blood, huh. Nice place, I guess.

[ Not as nice as New Rome, even if he didn't get to see the nicer parts of it very often. It's still better than what he and his family had, being on the poorer side of the Fifth Cohort. ]

But you can't stay here forever, right? Where do you go when you leave? How do you expect to keep your families safe outside of these borders?

[ As he mentions families, his expression darkens. Gale still hasn't found his own family. But he keeps silent on that end, bottling the anger and frustration up and letting it simmer for a while longer. He'll find them, no matter what. And when he does...

After a moment of silence, he shakes his head almost imperceptibly and continues. ]

I know I can't be the only one from the Fifth left. Has anyone else made it here?
