[This comes on Thursday morning. Jehan starts the IM and is, for once, very serious]

I don't really feel this is necessary of me but...I also feel that there are some campers here who will feel comforted if I do this.

[Nico.]

So I am reminding the camp at large that bullying or hating someone because of who or what they are is not allowed within camp boundaries. This includes bringing up painful parts of someone's history with the intent to hurt them.

[Margot. Eponine.]

You don't have to like everyone, but this is supposed to be a safe place! Let's try to keep it that way, okay? We don't want to run someone off only for them to end up dead.

[Noah sends an IM to the Aphrodite kids first, giving preference to his siblings as always.]

Hey y'all. So, my mom -- I mean, not...my adoptive mom, our sister, not our real mom -- wants to send a huge package of stuff. She'll send anything we can't get here cause I guess she heard from someone that we'll be in the shit if we get caught sneaking out now. So I guess she's tryna give us reasons not to sneak out. [He rolls his eyes a little because oh his gods mama we are not four year olds who need bribes to behave but he's not gonna turn down free Twizzlers.]

Any requests?

[After an hour or so, he'll repeat the message in a new IM to the rest of camp, this time smoother about explaining which mom he means.]

Now that your little talent show's over, I propose something a little more useful to fighting this war of yours. Because, you know, last time I heard, that's still happening.

[ Dean's pretty sure some of you guys have forgotten that, here in your little safe haven. He's glad to remind you of it, because priorities, people. Like getting his damn car back. ]

So what do you say about marksmanship contest? Guns and bows welcome, since you guys have yet to come into the modern age.

[Mary's face appears in the rainbow shrouded mist, smiling and uncertain. When she speaks, her accent is something of an amalgamation of Queen's English and Scottish Highlander.]

Hullo. This does seem a little awkward but I thought I might take a moment to introduce myself to all of you, or at least those of you who might be watching. My name is Mary Stuart, and according to the goddess Juno, I am...an incarnation, the incarnation? Of the goddess Frigga. [She smiles shyly.] And while I do know who that is, I'm not quite entirely sure yet what that means for me. It's not as I know how to use a loom, or can transform into a falcon.

[There's a blink as she looks at someone off-camera (so to speak).] Wait, can I turn into a falcon?

[She seems to be given a negative, or at least a "not yet" and returns her gaze to the camera.]

I really do look forward to meeting you all, especially those of you who are experiencing the same...duality as I am.

[There's another darted blink off camera as someone inaudibly says something to her. Her expression becomes puzzled.]

What do you mean, Odin is here too?

shylyintrepid

[Jehan is smiling softly when the IM starts]

Ah, I know that the theft is on everyone's mind but until Chiron and Mr. D can find the thieves, I'm not sure worrying about it will do anyone any good. So, Peeta and I--mostly Peeta--thought that maybe the Demeter cabin should run a sort of Valentine's café in the Big House next Friday, as a sort of distraction and a place for people to take their sweethearts since...camp doesn't really have a lot of places like that.

[Eh heh]

Would people be interested in this?

*Sky appeared in the rainbow, looking a little more worn for the battle with the wolves. Something was definitely different about her. It might be the few cracks in her synthetic skin on her face, letting light reflect off the bronze that was her skeleton? It could be the fact that she looked tired, something she rarely did. No… it was probably her right arm was missing from it’s socket. The joint wasn’t visible with the shirt over it, but the sleeve was clearly empty.*

I… just wanted to make sure everyone knew I was okay! I was going to check on Naomi and Charlie after the battle but… I couldn’t. I’m sorry! But Tony says not being able to walk is a good excuse to not check on your friends.

Leo, I had to borrow Festus to let me in, so Tony could start figuring out Hephaestus’s notes on my construction. I don’t have enough spare parts. He also says now is a good time to make improvements!

*Anyone who has spoken to Tony for more than ten minutes should be aware how dangerous this might be.*

Tony adjusted the level of sensory response I have, but it still hurts. I don’t like pain, especially in a limb I don’t have right now. Apparently I am very loud when I’m in pain, I didn’t know that about myself.

(OOC: Responses come from either Tony or Sky.)

[Yes, it's a bit late for this -- but even so, a bit after dinner, Joly's holing up outside of Apollo cabin, guitar in hand, and sending out an IM. He looks -- well, tired, to say the least, but cheery enough.]

I know it's been a rough couple days. For everyone. But, um, music does help sometimes! Believe it or not. Or talking, too. So if anyone wants to talk, I guess, or just hang out and listen to me play guitar -- they're welcome to. Open invitation before lights-out, I guess.

pyrkagia

[The face looking into the IM is the face of a young mother who did not get a wink of sleep last night after all was said and done with the wolves. Because she'd come back to check on the box she kept the dragons in that night - for their own protection, for her sanity, because she couldn't bear to see something horrible happen to one - and she'd found them ripped away from her.

At first, Dany scoured the entire Hephaestus cabin for any sign of the winged reptilian creatures, to no avail. That took hours, but the sun rose, and she couldn't find the dragons - couldn't find her babies. And then Chiron sent out that awful Iris Message, and her fists balled with fury as she sends one out to the camp, her hair disheveled and unbraiding both from fighting and defending the camp and searching and searching, and her pajamas are all wrinkled. She hasn't even bothered changing yet.]

He took my dragons. Zane Jolton took my dragons.

[And maybe she doesn't know, but she's assuming like hell.]

Where are my dragons?

[She speaks fiercely, but also her voice filled with worry, the same kind of worry a mother might have when her children promise to call her 'when they get there', never return a call, and then end up missing on the news.]

[Today is a rather chilly day, which is why campers can find their resident mail man satyr bundled up (complete with red scarf) as he walks side-by-side with a bundled up nymph. Sometimes arm-in-arm, sometimes not. Tai has a satchel slung over his shoulder, occasionally stopping a camper to hand over an envelope or package he has tucked away while Maria rolls her eyes but waits. Though occasionally she'll stop to check on a camper or a tree.

They'll be walking around camp today chatting and catching up in the cold. But feel free to stop either one of them for a chat or to check your mail!]

[Note: So here's a joint NPC post, just make sure to specify in your post if you'd like to chat with Tai or Maria! For this muns sanity.]

Sorry it took so long to get back here, guys - some, uh, things came up that I couldn't control.

[One would never know that Peeta spent the better part of the summer in the hospital or got attacked over Thanksgiving by the slightly sheepish grin he gives the rainbow - he'd had a few chats with Jehan and Finnick while he was away so he's been kept generally up to date on what's happened, but he isn't about to go spilling his own story so soon after arrival. It's not that important in the grand scheme of things.]

Looks like things are getting kind of crazy around here, with all the different pantheons showing up now, but, it's Christmastime, so we should be able to relax and focus on good things for awhile. Things were getting kind of hectic at the bakery, but I did bring a huge tub of gingerbread, chocolate mint cookies, and hamentashen if anyone wants to drop by Cabin 4 for some later. [He gives an eyeroll here.] Don't worry Finnick, I brought your croissants, too; you don't have to go hounding me about that. Even though you're probably going to.

So yeah, it's good to be back, and welcome to all of the new guys I haven't met yet - and, uh, when you get a chance, let me know if you've got any food allergies. I need to update my list since we've got so many new people.

[So he doesn't accidentally kill anyone. With a smile and a brief wave, Peeta breaks the connection. If anyone wants to find him, he'll be unpacking in Cabin 4, with stacks of baked goods to hand out to anyone who drops by.]

burnblonde

[It's a typical afternoon at camp and that of course means Yang is up to something. Today, you will find her wandering the outside of Aphrodite cabin and placing several large bins outside. She also has, of all things, tools. What could she possibly be doing you ask?

Well if you continue to watch, Yang starts opening the bins and pulling out bundle after bundle of...lights? There are white icicle lights, white string lights, and perhaps a few multi-colored lights. Yang hums to herself various snippets of Christmas songs as she works to lay them out around her and tests the lights in various outlets.

If she hasn't raised your curiosity yet, just wait. The decorating has only just begun. Yang probably wouldn't turn down the help or chat you up.]

inomnetempus

[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.

serenesuccessor

[Naomi's been a bit quiet since her attempt at running away. She's mostly been seen at the Pegasus stable seen these days, cleaning out the poop and taking care of the pegasi. It's her punishment, but Naomi doesn't mind too much. Except for the poop. Yuck.

Today is no difference and Naomi is making her way towards the showers with the black cat she adopted after she found him on Friday the 13th. Not that she's told her siblings she's adopted Socrates... Even if it's probably the most obvious thing in the world. ~~The nymphs have started setting aside tuna and milk for her.~~

After the shower she wonders if she could find Charlie or Ven or John or Dave and see if they'd like to play tag or something. At least that was her plan until she came across quite an unusual sight even for Camp Half-Blood.

It takes her a few minutes to send out a camp wide Iris Message, and in that time she's scooped a disgruntled Socrates up, found a baby tabby cat perched on her shoulder, and is surrounded by mewing kittens and yapping puppies.]

Guys! Has anyone seen all the little animals wandering around camp!?

[This might be the happiest she's looked since before the Red Room.]

Jehan, Anna, can I keep them?

[OOC: As a lot of you guys might remember we're making the recent test drive canon. Hebe has blessed the camp with a plethora of baby animals! So feel free to respond to this or make your own posts to respond to this new piece of information!]

clearasil

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. ]

*The image that appears in the Iris message is a little too close to her rainbow, at least at first. Eyes studying the sparkly refraction of light in water. Eventually she pulls back and smiles. She's certainly cheerful.*

Hello! I think I like camp, and cabins. If all cabins are like Cabin 9 inside.

*She's dressed in the usual hand downs of the forge kids. Her orange camp shirt has some grease stains on it, and her jeans are the same (and a size too large), the belt holding them up has been put together with ducktape too.*

I'm Sky. I was told this was the proper way to communicate with the whole camp, and I wanted to see if it worked. I like it, and rainbows. They are... cool. Well, Goodbye!

*She says 'cool' like she's been coached slightly on the use of the term, and it's still new. She waves again and the message vanishes. Sky can be found in either the Hephaestus cabin or the forges... she's the only one in the forges who thinks it's okay to be barefoot.*

[So, here is Joly, giving everyone a wave. He is seated out on the docks, guitar somewhat nearby. He's been quiet for most of the summer, but hey, here is a PSA brought to you by an Apollo kid.]

So! Being as this is a camp, and it’s surrounded by woods, I figure I better give you all a heads-up. If you get bit by something nasty, please come by the Apollo cabin, or come see me, or whatever. Lyme disease isn’t fun. So -- yeah, let me know if you’re feverish, or you have a weird round rash, or a headache that you can’t get rid of. Or if you have a headache and another weird flat kind of rash. Tick bites are serious business.

I mean, there’s like five different kinds of diseases I can name off the top of my head. So if you find a tick, if you see a tick, whatever, let me know. Okay? Thanks.

[Even after a summer spent flying mostly under the radar in Camp Halfblood, Mike isn’t used to the idea of Iris Messaging. Maybe that’s why this is the first time he’s using it.]

So it looks like we won’t going home this winter. Does this make anyone else, I don’t know, a little worried about the school situation? As great as the weapons practice and battle training have been, I was looking forward to graduating high school.

[Kind of a lot, actually. Mike has plans, and those plans include college, joining the FBI, and making Deputy Director by 40- he’s not going to let something like the potential end of the world get in his way. After that gets taken care of, he wants to pick up his life again. So yeah, the weapons practice and battle training have been great, but he has other things to be doing too.]

I guess I’m concerned about what kind of arrangements have been made for our academics now that we’re stuck here. I know most of us aren’t out of school yet. There has to be something in place, right?

promachos

[Annabeth's managed to snag a bottle of water and is doing this message that way, because she might be hiding from any place that a certain son of Poseidon has an affinity to. She might also be keeping her voice down. That, and she knows he's got training in the Arena right now.]

I know some of you are getting ready to leave tomorrow, but tomorrow is also Percy's birthday. And I know it's short notice, but I think we should try and put something together tonight at dinner. If I can get some help with this, it would be greatly appreciated.

*Bay Kennish was leaning up against the back wall of the Hades cabin. She looked nervous, like she desperately wanted to pace back and forth but was trying her best not to. Her dark hair is loose, little make-up, and a black leather jacket.*

Right, so, I was going to wait to ask this but since it appears a lot of you are going to abandon the camp in a few days I might as well ask with enough audience to get something like an actual answer. And since you're not Gods you might give me real answers, or at least admit you don't know when you don't have anything to add.

So... is there anything in the camp about- about the Norse Gods? What happened, what we have to worry about? Why we were sent here instead of... somewhere more Norse? I don't know, where should we even be. As you can see I have a lot of questions, and it would be nice to have some answers.

...Not in Greek. Or Latin. Seriously is English too much to ask here!?

*She'll realize she started to ramble, and rant a little bit and just... hope someone has an answer.*
