Jin could feel the stranger examining him with her seemingly-scrutinizing blue eyes, but anxiety never prickled his thoughts-- after all, he knew that he was attractive with looks that could rival a god's. A sigh of relief came rushing out and past his lips as his left foot became unrestrained and movement returned. Thank Gods, today was not meant to be his last day.

Placing his clammy palms firmly against the ground, Jin propelled himself up to his feet, a cloud of dried dirt appearing from the sudden action. He turned to his savior with a winsome smile, making sure to flaunt his pearly-whites.

"I'm going to assume that you're my date for the day? Why, I never thought I would be given the chance to be seen with someone as beautiful as you. " Jin gently picked up her right hand, leaned down, and placed a chaste kiss on the top of her hand. "And thank you for saving me. I guess this means I'm in your debt? How about I repay you with some good ol' fun?"

"Oh, how rude of me! I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Jin-Lee Xu, but you can call me 'sweetheart' if you would like." He gives her a small wink and released her hand. "What's your name?"

[vannie, Inactive Moderator]

Ah, the feisty type-- A fire that can never be tamed. Well, Jin always enjoyed a challenge.

He slowly backed away from Jaden, feet shuffling backward and hands up in surrender. The corner of his mouth quirked into a small smirk as Jin tilted his head up at her. "That's fine with me. Simply being graced with your presence fills me with happiness and warmth." His eyes twinkled in the sunlight, giving them an almost eternal appearance.

"Since I seem to have angered you, would you like to duel me? Maybe it will calm you down." The smile Jin flashed was one laced with dual-intentions, charming but eerie.

((edit ** i realized i spelled dual as "duel" OTL;; ))

[vannie, Inactive Moderator]

"You're such a cynical person. Maybe that's why your own siblings have to tell you to be normal. It even looks like normality isn't in your vocabulary." His words were piercing and coated in cyanide, but his smile was bright, too bright. Two can play this game after all.

Jin pulled his smile back, straightening his lips into a tight line. In his mind, restraint and deceit were the keys to success. "Sorry, I didn't mean to say that." (Yes, he did, but he will let her figure it out herself.)

"I guess all those rumors about you were starting to affect me as well. How shameful of me to voice them. " His voice carried sympathy and regret, but his brown eyes were dark and frigid, a barren wasteland depleted of life.

[vannie, Inactive Moderator]

((sorry about my absence!! i been really busy with school;;

"Well, you are the strangest out of all of us, so that should account for something." Jin huffed slightly and crossed his arms over his chest.

"And perhaps I simply want the attention of a beautiful girl like you, Sweetheart." He flashes her a quick wink before continuing on. Jin found some pleasure in snappy conversation; he always enjoy a bit of heat to spice things up every now and then.

"You know, you should feel lucky to be going out on a date with a guy like me." His lips lifted into a lop-sided smirk that flaunted his dimples to the world. "But yeah, let's get this show on the road."

"Now, since I know that dates can be boring and drone on forever, how about we have a bit of fun instead?" He paused to throw a look at Jaden, one that screamed mischief and trouble. "I propose that we throw prank, but we can always go the more traditional route if you like."

[vannie, Inactive Moderator]

(( should we invite someone to throw a prank on ???? lol,, i didn't plan this far out whoops ))

[vannie, Inactive Moderator]

(( o sure !!

"Of course you're not, you're too old to be a babysitter. I think 'old hag' or 'abuelita' suits you better!" Jin snickered, smothering his usually-loud laughter with his palm. Anticipation flew through his veins and pumped rapidly into his heart. He felt alive, not some breathing corpse. It was nice. Ruining things and people always gave him an edge.

"So my idea is that we 'decorate' the nymphs' homes with some TP! It's harmless-- albeit-- somewhat ironic, but fun nonetheless."

[vannie, Inactive Moderator]

Jin's body shivered with apprehension and he wasn't sure whether or not to be afraid of Jaden. Maybe he shouldn't have insulted her? Yes, he definitely should not have insulted her or agreed to this. Jin knew something was wrong when his friends set him up with a "blonde, blue-eyed beauty".

He gave a small laugh, not sure whether that wink was suppose to seductive or a warning for something. "W-We--" Jin paused, internally horrified at himself. Was he stuttering?!

With a loud cough, he continued on, voice now clear and firm. "We should grab some toilet paper from the stockroom. Gotta be prepare after all!"

[vannie, Inactive Moderator]

"Or you can come with me and steal the toilet paper from the bathrooms instead? Two birds with one stone!" The thrills of tormenting someone was an adrenaline rush that Jin welcomed with open arms. His eyes scanned the surrounding for any spectators and fortunately, they were alone. With that done, Jin leaned in closer towards Jaden, face nearly pressed against her ear.

"Have you ever had really bad diarrhea and there was no toilet paper nearby? We can bring this new experience to our fellow comrades. Suffering brings people closer together, right?" He whispered hastily, eyes darting back and forth. Jin didn't need anyone eavesdropping on his ploy and notify Chiron.

[vannie, Inactive Moderator]

She's bossy, and Jin might have felt challenged if this was not a date. Biting his words back and digging his fingernails into his palms, he rolled his eyes before giving a quick and snappy response.

"Fine, I will listen to you today, and don't blame me if you get lost, Babe." He gave a small wink, left cheek lifting up into an lopsided smirk.

[vannie, Inactive Moderator]

((should we do a timeskip?? :0

[vannie, Inactive Moderator]

"Bye, Honey!" Jin smirked and waved Jaden goodbye on her errand. Alright, toilet paper from the storage shed. That should be simple enough, right?

No, it was not. Nothing on Camp Half-Blood could ever be as simple as pick-locking a door and running off with bundles of toilet paper. At this point, Jin was just grateful that he wasn't caught by the harpies or else he would have transformed into a mass of coagulated chum.

Somehow he had miraculously left the shed to a pack of toilet paper (14 rolls inside), but unfortunately luck was not on his side. By the time that he returned, Jin had managed to become one with the toilet paper; now looking more like a mummy rather than a demigod.

"Help me." He tried to holler, but the toilet paper was muffling his voice. Ugh, great.

[vannie, Inactive Moderator]

"I will curse you to talk in rhymes for a week if you don't get me out of this!" Jin tried to pout, but the toilet paper was limiting his muscle movement. All he wanted was to have fun, not become a tacky imitation of King Tut! The dry toilet paper was starting to chafe his skin, making the already-uncomfortable situation even more uncomfortable. What a great day to be alive.

[vannie, Inactive Moderator]

"Apollo son? You can always refer to me as 'cutie' or 'babe', you know." Jin gave her a quick wink with pistol fingers and looked as smug as ever. Humble was definitely not in his dictionary. "Anyway, thanks for getting me out of that mess. You're now officially my knight-in-shining-armor. Should I reward your hard work and diligence with a kiss?" He made a duck face, pouting his pink lips into a misformed-heart shape.

[vannie, Inactive Moderator]

"Why, of course, sweetheart~" Jin closed his eyes and leaned forward, lips slightly pouted in anticipation. If he knew that all he had to do was wrap himself in toilet paper to win Jaden's heart, he would have done that eons ago.

[vannie, Inactive Moderator]

"Why are your lips so... seedy and tart?" Jin opened his eyes, only to find that there was a strawberry jammed between his lips, not someone else's mouth. That was... disappointing. He didn't even have the energy to feel exasperated anymore.

"Really, a strawberry?" He rolled his eyes and ate the strawberry between his lips. No need to waste food.

[vannie, Inactive Moderator]

"Well, I would prefer that we would just make-out already, but I guess the prank will suffice." Jin grinned, the sunlight practically beaming off of him. Then again, it probably was, he was a son of Apollo after all.

Jin bent down and grabbed the toilet paper rolls that fell to the ground. He made sure to wiggle his hips at Jaden, practically flaunting his butt (that was now covered in piece of toilet paper and dirt from the latest shenanigans).

"Do you like what you see?" He winked at her. "You know that my butt is rated one of the top butts in the camp. It's firm and perky!"

[vannie, Inactive Moderator]

((sorry abt the late reply!! i been busy for the past two days!! :( ))

[vannie, Inactive Moderator]

Jin shrugged and stood back up, straightening his back with a loud 'crack'. "Mmm, well, there's not exactly a lot of things to do here and a lot of campers have pretty nice butts." He paused for a moment to flick off unknown, coagulated pieces from his clothing. Jin couldn't really tell what they exactly were; they looked like chunky, heterogenous mixtures of machine blended-worms and chewed-grass-- Either way it was gross. He gagged a bit on the inside.

"And I will be glad to have you as my baby sister, Sweetheart." Jin turned to gesture at the copse of nymph trees towards the far-left of the strawberry fields. It was adjacent to the lake, overlooking the shimmering blue waters with its towering branches. The scene was calming and serene, and Jin was ready to ruin it. "Alright, come on then! We don't have forever. I want to get this done before I turn eighty."

[vannie, Inactive Moderator]

Jin grinned, the sun glinting off of each pearly white. He might not be a son of Aphrodite, but Jin was undeniably handsome and extremely flirtatious. He could handle a few nymphs.

"Ah, of course, my madam, but--" Jin grabbed Jaden's hand and leaned down to place a chaste kiss on it. "-- Remember that my heart only belongs to you." And the hundred-or-so other girls in this camp, Jin tact on the latter comment in his thoughts. After all, he doesn't want to be eviscerated by Jaden.

[Ilsa, I name me, destroyer of worlds!]

Wren was in the guise of a child. Children were less often scolded from stealing the great strawberries, as large as a fist, and three times sweeter and more flavorful than any she'd ever tasted from a store. In the skin of a three year old girl, most would rather go 'aaaaw' than reprimand her for the gluttony. Especially if she got some of the red on her face.

[Benjamin]

Tiliad began walking through the Strawberry fields, his hands brushing through the bushes as he walked. He hadn't really explored the camp that much. He was told the fields were beautiful and wanted to see for himself. As he walked, he saw a child. A really small child. A child Tiliad would consider a baby. He normally wasn't good with kids, but he's never seen a child this young at camp. He decided to approach her. "Hey little one. Where are you supposed to be?" Tiliad asked in a soft, high tone as he knelt down beside it.

[Ilsa, I name me, destroyer of worlds!]

"Here, eating," Wren said, as if not wanting to be taken away from her meal. He probably thought she had a parent she was hiding from... oh dang, or that she'd run away or something. Jeez... usually people just called her cute and took a picture or something. She hadn't wanted to draw actual attention to herself. Berries were too delicious. To try to divert his attention, she tried in the sweetest way imaginable offering him a strawberry too. "Are you supposed to be here too?"

[Benjamin]

Tiliad didn't exactly want to refuse a babys' offering of delicious strawberries, so he grabbed the one she handed him and ate it. How did a child make it all the way over here by herself? Tiliad began thinking if camp was really as safe as he thought it was. He went from a kneel to sitting down, indian style. He didn't want to give the baby a long "adult answer" so he just replied with a simple answer. "Yes, I am supposed to be here." He said trying not to sound too complicated. a childs' cuteness could never get to Tiliad because he felt dumb giving them baby talk or calling them cute. He left that to baby animals. He adjusted his legs a little bit before looking up at the child. "Are you lost, little one?" He asked her in the same soft tone, he initially started the conversation with.

[Ilsa, I name me, destroyer of worlds!]

Gosh freaking dang this nosy camper who cared about misplaced young children! Her lips formed an annoyed pout for a moment, but she assumed he was going to be mostly reasonable with, especially as he was asking these sorts of questions, instead of ones about parents and all that. "I'm not lost," she insisted, "I know right where I am. I know where everything at camp is," she said, trying to reassure him, as she quickly stole a few more strawberries. She had a feeling her theft might be short-lived.

[Benjamin]

Tiliad raised an eybrow at her. Tiliad looked around then back at her. This was going to be tough, but Tiliad had nothing else to do. "What cabin are you from little one?" He asked wondering how she even got to camp so early. Most kids didn't get to camp until at least the age of five. A three year old in camp. Tiliad couldn't put it together. How would she train? Does she even train? Do they have a designated area for the little kids at camp? Tiliads' mind was racing with thoughts. He had to take this conversation one question at a time. Perhaps he could outsmart her. She is only three years old.

[Ilsa, I name me, destroyer of worlds!]

Her mind considered. She couldn't say Janus... but she was an adorably cute kid! So, maybe... hmm... "I'm from the afro- the approd- the lovey cabin," she said, struggling over the stupid word on purpose. Who had named that poor goddess, anyways? She crammed her mouth with some more of the berries. Gosh dang, they were too good to be taken away so early in the game!

[Benjamin]

Okay, maybe just maybe she did something that was cute to Tiliad. He peeked his head until he could see her face then he adjusted back in his normal position. "Where is all the make-up? Wouldn't your sisters, like, use you as their make-up doll?" Tiliad asked raising an eyebrow. He didn't know much about Aphrodite or her cabin, but he knew they loved make-up. He highly doubted there was an age limit for it in that cabin to. His suspicions began to rise up more as this conversation continued. Luckily for him, he was naturally a laid-back person, so she wouldn't be able to catch on to him if he got excited or something. He tilted his head at her as he awaited her reply.

[Ilsa, I name me, destroyer of worlds!]

She hesitated, then frowned. "I don't like eating with makeup on," she said, "They say I waste all their stuff because I get food all over," she complained, chomping into the current strawberry with emphasis. "So they're gonna wait until I'm less of a mess, I guess..." She tried to act a little insecure, like that might help her case.

[Benjamin]

Tiliad rubbed his chin with his hand. He gave off a moan that showed he was in deep thought. "Theu could just redo your makeup. You're so little. It makes no sense if they don't expect you to not mess your face up all the time." Tiliad was about to stand up and leave until he thought of a good question. "Who is the head of your cabin?" He asked. He thought this quesrion could lead to many possibilities, but at the worse, he could talk to them about letting their very little sister out by herself.

[Ilsa, I name me, destroyer of worlds!]

She got a mischievous glint in her eyes. "I think it's Afro- uh, her. But if you mean, like, my sister, it's the prettiest one!" she spun around once, smiling brilliantly. She knew how this worked. A guy went up to the 'prettiest' Aphrodite girl and thus offended all the others. She was sure he was too smart to do it, but she knew it was a frustrating tactic. Plus, she wasn't totally sure.

[Benjamin]

Tiliad thought about it. He stood up and dusted himself off. "Alright than. I guess the whole cabin is going to get it." Tiliad said as he finished dusting himself off. "They are going to get in big trouble for letting you wander around on your own little one." Tiliad said as he looked at the bushes. He grabbed a couple strawberries and ate them as he smiled at her. When he finished, he disted his hands off on his thighs.

[Ilsa, I name me, destroyer of worlds!]

"I'm not a baby!" she said, dropping her jaw indignantly, "I can walk in the garden without a babysitter!" the protest was alarmingly charming, as if the little girl was sure that she was already a powerful demigod, able to take on any monster that called.

[Benjamin]

Tiliad knelt down again next to her. Someone didn't like being called a baby. "Awwwww!" Tiliad did his best impressuon of adults thinking a little child was cute. "Sure you can little one." Tilliad said smiling at her. He stood up and turned his back towards her, as if getting ready to leave. In front of him, his face held a smile still. He still thought it was weird any cabin would let such little children out and about. He sighed. "Well I guess I will havw to talk to Chiron and maybe Mr. D about this than." He added. Any little kid should be afraid of those two knowing about them, right? Tiliad thought it was worth a shot. He had to teach the little girl a lesson. She shouldn't be wandering off on her own. She could accidentally walk into trouble. A little girl would not be able to handle the things that wait outside of the walls.

[Ilsa, I name me, destroyer of worlds!]

Her face flared with color at the announcement of bringing in real authority. "You're mean!" she announced, stomping one foot adamantly, "If you tell on me for having berries, I'm going to have to use my magic on you," she said, pulling out some of the creepy child vibe. Eh... she could always claim the kid was her real form and all the other forms were defensive. Yup. She could roll with that.

[Benjamin]

"Your magic huh? And what kind of magic is that?" Tiliad said after taking a step away from her. He turned his head again, hiding the bottom half of his face. Was she talking about charmapeak? Would that even work on him? Especially if that's what he was expecting? That was the only "magic" he could think of for such a young Aprhodite child.

[Ilsa, I name me, destroyer of worlds!]

"I'm going to turn you," she said, taking a few steps forward, "Into a woman." Aw man, was this kid getting pretty freaky.

[Benjamin]

Tiliad smiled as he was amused by the little girls threat. "And how do you propose you'd do that?" Tiliad asked in a jokingly matter. Slowly, he turned his body around towards the little girl. He kept smiling as he looked down at her. He wonderes if there were any children who can turn you into a woman. He might actually like that. Than again, maybe he won't. He couldn't think of any children on the top of his mind that could do that.

[Ilsa, I name me, destroyer of worlds!]

"First, I give you boobs sooooooo biiiiiiig that they hurt your back. Huh. I will just give you boobs! Then everyone will think it is funny!" She was trying to be disarmingly creepy, just to drive off Tiliad. In actuality, this 16 year old kid did not want to be caught thieving.

[Benjamin]

"I feel like someone your age would say boobs differently. Besides, I wouldn't mind having some." Tiliad said grabbing his chest with his hands. He forgot who he was talking to. He shouldn't be saying things like that to a child so young. He shook his head and turned back around. "Where was I? Oh! Yeah! Chiron and Mr. D! They need to know that cabins are allowing this." Tiliad said as he took a step or two away from her.

[Ilsa, I name me, destroyer of worlds!]

She wrinkled her nose. "You're gross! You shouldn't want boobs! You're a guy!" She stomped her foot, still acting the child. "My babysitter is right here!" she pointed out, snuffling once. She transformed, becoming a young twenty year old girl, hair pulled back into a stringy brown pony tail. "Yeah, she's with me. Go away." She was fiddling with a braid, as if self-absorbed.

[Benjamin]

Tiliad stopped and smiled in amusement. He opened hos mouth as he turned until he saw a much older girl in front of him. His mouth stayed open until he shifted his body leaning on one leg. He raised an eyebrow. "Wait, where is the little one?" Tiliad asked trying to sort out the confusion in his brain. He didn't even hear footsteps. Where did she go?

[Ilsa, I name me, destroyer of worlds!]

He really hadn't seen the shifting? She smirked. This was gonna be fun. "I don't need some creepo following my kid sister around, okay? Get lost. How would you like it if you had to babysit an energetic kid who ran out of your sight every five minutes? Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go find her. Again." She looked around, as if frazzled, and gave out an annoyed groan.

[Benjamin]

Tiliad looked around. He felt like he was being pranked. He could relate to her being annoyed, especially if the little girl was running around. "I can help you look for her if you want. How did she get away from you again? She was just right here like, 2 seconds before you got here." Tiliad said still trying to sort out his confusion.

[Ilsa, I name me, destroyer of worlds!]

"Then how did she get away from you?" this girl asked, puffing up at some wispy hair that had escaped her ponytail. "Cripes. If the Demeter kids find she's mutilated their strawberry bushes, they'll get in my face again." She started fake searching. "You've done enough, haven't you?"

[Benjamin]

"Probably the same way she got away from you." Tiliad said under his breath. He normally was a really cool guy but she was being very rude. "I'm just trying to help, you don't have to be rude." Tiliad said in a calm, soft, but annoyed voice. Everyone was so mean to him today.

[Ilsa, I name me, destroyer of worlds!]

Wren was being mean on purpose, of course, in order to try to escape. Now she just needed to actually walk off, and she was home free! She thought that was a pretty cool thing. Still in her role, she put her hands on her hips and actively glared at Tiliad. "You don't have to help," she said, "I've got this. Just go -tackle an Ares kid, or whatever you do." Rudeness usually meant getting left alone, after all!

[Benjamin]

Tiliad was getting tired of the rudeness. He decided it was time to fight back. "I don't think you got this. You lost the little one before and I'm sure you will again." Tiliad said in a calm tone while he held a straight face. Tiliad was known to only show one emotion and that was fear. Other than that, people said he was too laid back. His tone never showed emotion. Before he turned towards the bushes, he added, "I'm helping." Deep down in his mind, he was only helping for the little child. He remembered how she had been rude to him to. Why was everyone so rude to him right now?
