Half-Blood Hill

[Yang looks up at the rainbow she made as she stands outside of the Aphrodite Cabin. She smiles and waves.]

Well, we all know what my Cabin is gearing up for. [She taps a box she happens to be leaning next to.] I may be dateless, but I know some of you all are as well. There's nothing wrong with being single though and you should feel like you can look good no matter what your relationship status is. I know I do.

That being said, I've decided that it's time for another of Yang Xiao Long's famous Spa Days. Whether you want to get ready for your special night or just unwind and chat to recover from all the recent stress, it doesn't matter. Just come by Cabin 10 and I'll make sure you get pampered and primped up.

As a side note, fellas if you need a hair cut I do those as well and can give you some tips on looking nice for your potential date.

[Yang gives a mock salute and leaves the rainbow.]

See you around.


[ooc: Note that you can feel free to forward date these to Valentine's Day as action logs if you want someone getting ready for that stuff. Just note that in the subject line.]

[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.]

[Just when you thought the camp was finished bringing back familiar faces, a beautiful blonde appears in the Rainbow image. She's really pretty, blonde, and has purple eyes that have just a hint of mischief twinkle in them. She brushes her long hair over her shoulder and gives you a big grin. She then waves.

For the Greeks around from years past, you may recognize Yang. If you're not close to her you might still know her as "That one kid that punched a Hermes kid right out of his cabin for snipping a lock of her hair and got claimed by Aphrodite."

Regardless, she's been away for awhile now. She may have also left without telling anyone that she'd be gone this long. Whoops. But, hey, better late than never!]

Hey guys, long time no see. It's me, Yang. Though I hope you didn't forget~

Oh! But I guess we do have some new faces around here, huh? [She peers at the IM as if trying to see past a huge crowd. She rocks back on her heels then and continues to smile.] Well, let me introduce myself. I'm Yang Xiao Long. I'm a Gemini, I love boxing, my favorite color is yellow or orange, and I'm the life of all parties here at camp. Oh, and I live in Cabin 10. You know...the one with all the pink.

[She waves her hand dismissively. She is very proud of being a love child...she is not so proud of her cabin's choice of decor.]

Anyway, so I just got back in. Sorry I was away for so long, but it was nearly impossible to pry Ruby off of me, my dad had to finish the final touches on my bike, and right before I got into camp I ran into a giant monster bear that I had to teach a few manners. But, hey, I'm back now and just in time to help you guys start getting ready for Christmas.

[She gives a thumbs up. Because hell yes Christmas and presents and parties. She sobers up a bit though, dropping her hands.]

Well, that and find those guys from the Red Room and teach them some manners too.

[She punches her palm with a closed fist. There's a flash of red in her eyes, but it is so fast that you might not notice. Plus she flips right back to happy very quickly.]

So! Who wants to catch me up? Don't leave out any of the good details and don't try to tell me NOTHING has happened while I was gone. This place is NEVER that boring.
