[Well, isn't this a sight for sore eyes. Courfeyrac's been gone for what-- nearly a month now? He doesn't look any more refreshed than before he left. He's out, leaning against the Aphrodite cabin in the shade.]

Bonjour, camp... I apologize that I was gone longer than I originally anticipated. My sisters did not want to let me come back....

[But his step-mother on the other hand...]

I return with gifts, of course. Will someone assure me I didn't miss anything exciting while home?

[Rainbows. These people can't be serious, but Edmund is proven that yes, yes they are. It only makes it worse that the rainbow communication is, in fact, real and works.

When he does use the rainbow, he doesn't look terribly thrilled to be here. Still. Doesn't hurt to be civil. It's not strictly the camp's fault that he's having issues with his family at the moment.]

My name is Edmund Pevensie. I was told that I'm a son of Athena. Which cabin am I supposed to be staying in?

[He shifts a little restlessly after that somewhat cold introduction. Edmund doesn't really care, but he's curious. Pursuit of knowledge and all that. That's a thing with Athena's children, right?]

Also...what does it actually mean to be a child of Athena? My...mother...couldn't tell me much about it, and I haven't been able to brush up on any Greek mythology while on the plane here.

[Edmund spent most of it trying to get his head wrapped around the whole demigod business, as well as the fact that his mother isn't actually his birth mother. The rest was spent with troubled sleep.]

And what should I expect from this camp? I was told there was trouble and that it was a safe place for demigods, but not much else.

[There...might...be some slight suspicion. Maybe. If you squint super hard. Look, mom didn't tell him a whole lot since she didn't know much, either. Edmund's done with surprises. Like. Super done with them.]

{A sixteen-year-old with large amber eyes, an upturned nose, and brown hair flickers into view, too close to the rainbow at first and then he pulls back, centers himself in the image.}

So, let’s applaud for the Rainbow Connection, everyone. Is that inappropriate to hum or sing? Anyway, I’m Stiles Stilinski. Not really sure what I’m doing around here yet, but I saw some other kid do this, so I figured what the heck, put my face out there a little early.

{His hands come in and out of focus as they wave about around the rainbow.}

So, things I ought to tell everyone....I’m human. Extremely human, and fragile, so all those swords should just stay sheathed around me, alright? Beyond that, I’d appreciate it if someone could give me a hand to where ever new arrivals are supposed to be.

{The colors start to bleed and fade away.}

Than-

{He cuts out.}

[So there are two things that should be out of place when this Iris Message reaches camp.

One. Naomi isn't actually at camp, she's in her bedroom at home, sitting on her bed. In the background there are two pieces of paper, a doodle and a note. But more on that later.

The second thing that's amiss is that Naomi's right arm is in a bright orange cast.

She'd wanted it to match her camp shirt.]

Ummmmm... Have I missed anything fun? Hazel I found you those honey things!

[Yup. She doesn't want to explain this. But don't worry. That doodle? A helpful diagram courtesy of her brother. Naomi hasn't realized he pinned them to her wall earlier.

She bites her lip, shifting uneasily and then it's like a flood gate has opened. She can just feel the questions, and lectures, forming.]

I was being really careful this time! Honest, 'nd I wasn't stuck! I just, um... Slipped. 'nd I couldn't use my powers 'cause I was with my friend Bridget 'nd she doesn't know that 'm a demigod 'nd I didn't want her to freak out 'nd, 'nd, 'nd-

[She looks ready to cry, because she's been dreading this. Everyone's always lecturing her about not climbing trees but if she doesn't climb them she'll never get any better!

She looks down, fiddling with her necklace. The note her brother left behind should be mentioned. It's a very simple message.]

Wh-When I get back, everybody can sign it?

[Here's Mary, throwing a question out to everyone in camp.]

I know that there's a custom of having sing-alongs over the fire in the evenings, and I know that there are a great deal of musically inclined campers.

Often times my father would host musicians over a weekend and they'd form a band just for the visit, and play for everyone at night. Those were lovely times.

Would anyone be interested in forming a band? Nothing formal and obviously we likely only be playing at camp functions at best, or for own pleasure if nothing else. Rock, pop, I'd be up for anything save rap, really.

No one wants to see (or hear) me rap.

Just to have fun and make a bit of noise. I can offer guitar, piano, and singing, myself.

Any takers?

Oh, and we shan't be called 'Free Beer' or 'Live Nude Girls'. Obviously.

[Tybalt, as usual, is serious]

A reminder to the rest of the camp that this Tuesday is the full moon as well as a lunar eclipse. I don't think I need to remind most of you but just in case--it is in your best interest to stay inside that night and to ignore any odd sounds you may hear, lest you do something you regret like attack another camper by mistake.

[Read: stay inside and if you sneak out for the love of Ra don't attack any of the werewolves because if you do Tybalt might tear you a new one.

When did the cat magician become so close to a pack of wolves?]

Related, if you see a tabby cat wandering around, please, do yourself a favor and assume it's capable of human intelligence so you don't look like an idiot when it turns out to be me. I won't be responsible for whatever happens to the next person to try "here kitty kitty".

[So you thought you'd escaped the excitement of April Fools. A place like camp heralds the date like the end of times. When you're in a camp full of ADHD half-gods and 75% of them are the worst kind of tricksters it's only natural to build your own safe house and live underground untilt he dust cleared.]

[It would be about 7pm and a little after dinner that camp would get at least one more surprise.]

[And that would be the sound of a purple and blue shaped missile rocketing through the skies. It could have been written off as a weird low flying plane until it changed course very suddenly and nose dived towards camp.]

[John Egbert had been on the run for a good week before he made a last ditch effort to fly the rest of the way back to the island. When he was able to finally spot Half-Blood Hill passing under him... well. He was always told he needed to work on his landings.]

[He nose-dived, plummeting through the tops of a few trees and finally gracelessly crashing through the roof of Hecate Cabin.]

[The rest of camp will be notified by this event by the sounds of explosions and fireworks going off from the rupture of all of the cabin's cursed stones.]

[+ One lost Son of Jupiter. Happy April Fools!]

tsunbird

[The message starts off with an image of a --well, he's pretty funny looking, really. Some grouchy guy with a really dumb perm sidecut and an unimpressed expression.]

So.

[He rolls his eyes, looking at something that isn't the focus of the message. He clicks his tongue against his teeth, making a tch sound, before looking back.]

Do any of you actually do anything interesting?

[Welp. That said, he's also seated on the roof of any given cabin, really. He doesn't really spend much time on the ground, all things considered, and right now is no exception. Feel free to tell him to get down or ask him what the hell he's doing. Or both. Both is good.]

[A rainbow is sent out to the entire camp sometime after lunch. Said rainbow is featuring a very surreal sight.

The sight? The normally happy and energetic Naomi is genuinely angry.

She's actually glaring at the rainbow, looking deadly serious as she holds up a necklace. When she speaks her voice is level.]

Does anyone know who gave this to me?

[Now, anyone who knows Naomi should know exactly who gave her that necklace. It was her older brothers - Kou's - necklace. He'd given it to her before she left for camp.

Except Naomi can't remember that. All she remembers is that whoever gave the necklace to her was important to her. She can remember vague things - but the person's face, their voice, their name, it was all a blur.

And the fact that she can't remember someone she knows is incredibly important to her? It is infuriating.]

motorvation

Now this is interesting.

[The person in the Iris Message is an older teenage girl, looking at the rainbow like she's studying it - which she is. Her appearance is definitely Asian, and for those who can tell, the accent she speaks with is Japanese but not very thick. Her English is flawless, though, and surprisingly colloquial.]

I knew I'd see new things when I came here, but I didn't expect something like this to be one of them. This is because of a goddess? I'll have to remember to thank her; this is a very useful tool to have.

[She blinks and loses that inspecting expression, instead smiling and giving a small wave and a bow.]

I guess I should introduce myself; my name is Sa- Asami Sato, and I've just arrived. Thank you all for your hospitality, and I hope I can get to know some of you soon. I have a lot to do if I'm to catch up to all of you.

untameimpala

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.

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?

wordtechgodhood

[There are one of two places that are a sure fire way to catch Dave today.

The morning finds him in the armory, distractedly picking up weapons and putting them back just as quickly. Occasionally he might weight a sword in his hand or linger on one weapon longer than another but he seems conflicted. Or maybe he's not in here because of the weapons at all.

Later on in the day he's in the arts and crafts cabin. Janus isn't what you'd call a 'creative' god (really he's more of an asshole if you've ever had the opportunity to meet him), but Dave is creative enough on his own and is taking some down time to draw some ironic ~~and disturbing~~ comics.

Every now and then he'll look up at the door as if he's expecting someone, darting his attention away if someone happens to walk in.]

shylyintrepid

[Jehan is outside today, tending to some vines with gloves. When the IM starts, he smiles a bit]

I thought now might be a good time to bring up something I should have brought up a while back. For those who don't know me, I'm Jean, the Demeter counselor, though I prefer Jehan. I also grow poisons.

[He points to some]

Desert rose, sap's good for coating arrows and is really hard to grow in this climate. Belladona, also called deadly nightshade. Daphne, the berries are poisonous. Larkspur, the seeds will kill you. Oleander, one of my favorites. And this? This is wolfsbane.

[He holds up a plant]

This is incredibly poisonous. Just touching it with your bare hands will lead to numbness and possible heart problems. It is also very effective against wolves.

[And this is why he thought today would be a good day to talk about this]

All of my plants are labeled in French and Greek if they're deadly, so please don't touch them. However, if you want any of these to use on weapons to be used against monsters only, please talk to me. If I find that someone's been using them on campers, however...well, poison ivy usually clears up in a few days. Or not.

[He just smiles]

If people are interested, I'd like to do a sort of seminar on the poisons? So we all know how to treat various kinds and how to recognize some of these in the wild.

angeliaforos

[So some people who Gabriel interacted with within the last month may have noticed the beard he'd tried to sport for all of November.

Well, if one can call the ridiculously patchy stubble he'd tried to pass off as a beard a beard. (It'll grow in better eventually, he thinks.)

This is one of the few IMs where he says absolutely nothing - which, keep in mind, is stupidly hard for him. It's for 'dramatic effect', he'll say later. So he decides he's going to let the entire camp in on watching him do this.

He's actually sitting in front of a mirror in the Iris cabin, shaving off this ridiculous excuse for a beard in complete silence with an old-fashioned razor and shaving cream. He's no Sweeney Todd, but he's doing a good job, at least.]

impetueux

[Cosette is sitting on over-sized pink luggage outside the Apollo cabin, hair slightly mussed from the exertion of dragging it to the building. As she tries to catch her breath she smiles, head half-bowed.]

Hey Half Blood, long time no see. I'm sorry I'm so late; they tell you something will take a few weeks to process and it ends up taking months. But...[She takes a breath before looking up and outright beaming.] I'm officially Canadian; the paperwork is finally done. You have a two week grace period to make all the Canuck jokes you want before I come after you.

[She takes another deep breath before pushing a stray strand of hair out of her face.] By the way, if there is anyone out there who feels like helping me lug this thing into Apollo cabin I'd really appreciate it. I think I might have pulled a muscle dragging it here.

excusing

[ Is that the Iris Message or is Heather sparkling? Nah, it's just her eyeshadow. ]

Okay, so I like, totally spaced but. Word of mouth tells me that the Third Cohort is the biggest of the Legion at camp so far? Hey, cool.

Just wanted to check up on you guys, I mean, mostly since we're ... unusually small in numbers, even now and it's taken some people longer than others to get here. Yeah. How are you all doing? You're also required to respond even if I talk to you every day - hint hint.

If you need me - or if anyone else, newbies or not, has any questions for whatever reason (not that I'm the leading Roman expert or anything) - I'll be trying my hand at arts and crafts and we may or may not get Third Cohort buttons.

[ She waggles her fingers playfully before swiping away the message. ]

[It's a strange sight to see Naomi in the arena. Most of the time she avoids it like the plague.

Today day though she's standing the the center, shifting uneasily from foot to foot with her dagger at her waist and a wooden bo staff in her hands. She's been twirling it, occasionally, to relieve her nerves. Now that she's started the Iris Message though? Now she feels frozen.

Okay. Deep breath.]

Um, hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me... I donno, get better at fighting?

[Because she wants to get stronger. She wants to be able to protect everyone.]

shylyintrepid

[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!

arracht

[ What a time to be coming back to the Greek camp. Derek can't believe that his mom's kicked him out of California right before his birthday, but then again he's not really that surprised. Maybe she thinks it's an appropriate birthday present, actually giving him something to do and trusting that he'll make it to Camp Halfblood in one piece. Hell if he knows, he's just glad to be done with traveling.

He arrives on the outskirts while still wolf-shaped, shifting his weight back and forth before howling, like he's calling out-- he sort of is, for anyone in his Cohort that would recognize the cry, as well as to let Lupa know that he's back, if the goddess is still around. But after that, he weasels the strap of his bag off from around his neck so he can shift back.

When he's fully dressed again and adjusting the bag's strap so he can carry it over his shoulder, Camp Jupiter purple standing out, he slowly steps through the gates to the camp, brows raised while he scans the area, as if scoping out whether anyone's around or not.

At least he has some idea of where to go, even if it's been months since he was here. ]
