Calling all Demigods! discussion

"Err. Maybe his Dad? Cabin? Battle Arena? Forest? No clue, that kid goes everywhere and no where." He said with a smile. "I'm the dashing Carter." He said with a smile, a bit of Aphrodite coming out of him.

"Right," Holly answered, dazed. "I'm Holly, Daughter of Athena." She folded her arms across her chest. "He's something."

"Glad you figured that out." He said with a killer smiled.

Holly nodded, furrowing her brow. "I don't know why...but I've got the sudden urge to go after him."

Carter laughed. "Everybody does. He's the son of wine. Have you ever had wine?" He joked.

Caspar collapsed on the grass in a breathless pile of long limbs and tangled hair, staring up at the sun, exultant.
After collecting his breath, he stood up and walked to the lake.

"Really? I must go after him," Holly decided. "I've got to thank him for the laugh. I haven't laughed like that in weeks. Nice meeting you, Carter." She called for her hawk and started off in search of him.

Carter rolled his eyes with a smile. "Just don't try to kiss him, then you'll never be able to escape." He advised.

Holly laughed. "Kiss him? You're kidding me. He's the one who kissed me first." She winked playfully and left, starting at the lake.

Carter laughed. "Yeah right..." He trailed off and left.

Helena picked up a bow and a few arrows and began to attempt to shoot one of the targets ahead of her. Her first try was twelve feet too low, the arrow sank into the ground and dissapeared. She looked up, blushed and said, "Thanks dad..."

Diona walked in. She picked up a lighter small bow and pulled in back. "Well Caspar is good at this." She grumbled and let it go. It hit the outer ring. She shrugged and tried another, slowly advancing.

((Do you want Holly to come in and help her???))

((Sure, but Holly sorta seems to dislike her.))

((She doesn't...))

Holly tilted her head at Diona, then remember why she was so familiar. She smiled, "Hey, you're Diona. Caspar's little half-sister. Did you like your cabin?"

"Yes, I got a top bunk. So he can't see when I read late at night." She said grinning. "And I'm not little." She said, a hint of bitter in her voice as she shot the next arrow a few bands away from the center.

Holly nodded, "I should have said younger. Excuse my poor choice of word." She walked over, "Top bunk? Nice. Do you want some help with that?" She nodded to the target.

"It's okay. And yeah, I would." She said.

"Okay, Diona." Holly moved to her side and gently began to move Diona's position. She aimed toward the center with her bow, narrowing her eyes. "Alright...pull back...."

Diona pulled back

"And..." Holly adjusted her arm slightly. "Let go."

Diona let go and clapped as it hit the dot.

Holly grinned. "There you go."

"Thanks! Sorry about Campfire yesterday." she said

Holly chuckled. "That's alright. It was kinda funny."

Diona smiled. She pulled out a dagger a flicked it toward the target. It hit the ring outside of the dot. She ran and grabbed it.

"Good aim," Holly commented with a smile. "You'll be brilliant at it in no time."

Diona beamed.

"Did you actually get some sleep, though?" Holly asked. "I mean, in between the reading."

Diona chuckled, as if some four year old had asked her an absurd question. "Yes, but I'd rather not. All that happens is nightmares." She said.

Holly frowned slightly. "You can't stop them?"

Diona raised an eyebrow. "I can't stop death." She said suddenly sullen.

Now, Holly was frowning, eyes sympathetic. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..."

"It's fine." She said shrugging it off.

Holly nodded. "So, have you eaten yet?"

"What? Lunch? Breakfast? Dinner? Currently, I don't know the time." She said.

Holly chuckled. "Breakfast."

"Uh. Does a granola bar count? I don't eat or sleep much." She had a point, she barely weighed 40 pounds.

Holly nodded. "I think it does."

"Okay! then I did!" She said cheerfully.

Holly laughed. "Great. Have you met any other campers besides me and Caspar?" she asked, pulling back on her arrow and aiming.

"Uh. You and Hayley." She said.

"I met her yesterday!" Holly recalled. "She was sweet, kinda freaked me out with her fire-weasel though."

Diona laughed. "Yes, me and her hit it off nicely." She said.

"Amazing at Archery, her and her half-sisters, but they are Apollo's so it figures," Holly mused.

Diona nodded. "Apollo and Artemis, well Athena too. Is it all the A names? Is Aphrodite good at it too?" She asked.

Holly laughed. "I don't know, you may want to ask Carter, their counselor."

Diona smiled. "This is so odd. People usually find me revolting, in the real world but here people don't seem to mind that much." She said.

((Aww.))
"Because you're with other demi-gods here," Holly began, letting her arrow go and hitting the point. "We all kind of get each other better." She shrugged, reaching for a few more arrows. "And I can't see why anyone would find you revolting. You're pretty cool."

Diona laughed. "Thanks, you are too." She said.
