((Um, I think we changed threads to outside of camp (3).))

[ѕolanιne]

((Hahahahahaha fuck it lol I messed up XD))

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((Okay. Lol))

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((I posted on the thread already.))

[Emma ❀]

Karolina read as she walked along the paths. She could always use her peripheral vision to see where she was going, even though as clumsy as she was, she knew she'd fall for certain eventually. But the book was worth it.
It was about a man who travelled through dreams and was able to bring them to reality. He later understands just how much his power can affect people when it starts messing with the government and the way the world works in general.

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

Banyan walked along the path towards the forest. He was heading over to see his friends. He had just received his assignment the other day and to share the news with them. As he walked, he munched on some sunflowers he had found in his cabin.

[Emma ❀]

She was walking the opposite way from Banyan, but didn't notice him coming in the other direction. So distracted by her book, she was passing right beside him when she tripped on her shoelace (which for some reason she kept forgetting to tie) and bumped onto his shoulder and fell backwards, eyes squeezed shut and arms protecting her face as the floor rose up to collide with her.

((A bit cliché, but meh.))

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

Banyan stumbled backwards and gripped his sunflowers tighter, bleating and crushing the half eaten flowers in surprise. "Oh, gods!" he gasped when the girl fell backwards. He knelt down beside the girl. "Hey," he said. "Are you alright?"

[Emma ❀]

She sat up, brushing her auburn hair away from her face, opening her eyes against the sun and putting up a hand to shield herself from its glow.

"Y-yeah, sorry. It's just... Good book. Very good." As if suddenly remembering something, she searched around for her book and grabbed it, checking it for injuries. She wasn't one to keep her books extremely organized - in fact, the more ripped and battered her books were, the more she loved them. It was strange, but proven right.

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

"That's okay," Banyan said. "You harm done." Silently, he added to himself, "Well, other than my crushed my snack." He glanced down at the destroyed sunflowers in his hands, a little disappointed. He had a feeling his sister probably arranged them herself, so not only did he not have a snack, but he also was going to be scolded for eating the cabin decorations for almost nothing for recompense.

When he looked back at the girl, she seemed to care more about the book she dropped than herself. "You, um, didn't answer my question," he said. "Are you okay? It looks like you fell backwards pretty hard."

[Emma ❀]

"Oh, umm, yeah," she stood, cleaning dirt off her clothes. "Probably going to have bruise or two, but that's alright. And sorry for your snack - was it the flowers?"

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

"Yeah," said Banyan, nodded. "Beautiful, scrumptious sunflowers..." He looked at their crushed remains sadly before perking up a little. "But it's okay as long as neither of us are hurt. There will be delicious flowers." He rose again and held out a hand to help her back to her feet.

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((.))

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((.))

[Emma ❀]

((Oops, sorry.))

She took it gratefully, standing. "There will. So, umm... Where were you heading?"

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

"The forest," said Banyan with a smile. "I'm going to see some friends to tell them I about my first assignment outside of camp."

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((It's okay. Also, did you see my post on the field and Athena cabin?))

[Emma ❀]

((Fields yes, Athena gonna check.))

"Ah, that's cool. What's the assignment?" She asked in curiosity.

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((Sorry for taking a while to respond. I am away on vacation, so I was out all day yesterday. I probably will be today too.))

Banyan smiled at her. "Looking for demigods in the public school system," he said. "I am starting a bit later than most other satyrs, but I am also a demigod technically."

[Emma ❀]

She raised her eyebrows. "Oh. What god?"

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

"Well, Pan is my dad," said Banyan. "Pretty obvious, I suppose." He gestured to his goat horns just sticking out of his curly, brown hair, hairy, goat legs, and hooves with a chuckle. "And my mom is, well, a daughter of the camp director."

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((.))

[Emma ❀]

"Oh. I'm a daughter of Poseidon. Meaning... My uncle is your great grandfather. Meaning I'm your grandfather's cousin..." She said, thoughtfully. "I think we're technically all related."

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

Banyan chuckled. "Yeah, I suppose we are," he said. "I usually don't think of that though."

[Emma ❀]

"Most people don't. I don't think I like the fact I do. Not a lot, but it's just interesting. Curious. Disgusting sometimes."

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

Banyan shrugged a little. "Truthfully, when you think about it, everyone is related in some way," he said. "The first man and woman had children, but people forget that, in order for there to have been a human species, those children had no one else to mate with but each other. I guess it just means that we are never alone. There is always someone that we have some type of connection to."

[Emma ❀]

"Hmm," she smiled. "That's a very interesting way to view things... I like it."

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

Banyan offered her a smile. "So where were you heading?"

[Emma ❀]

She shrugged. "Back to camp," she answered, then something caught her attention. She bent over and extended her hand to the ground, letting a little spider on to it and standing back up, continuing as if she hadn't interrupted herself. "I've been out here since morning."

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

"I see," said Banyan, a little more disappointed than he expected he would be. This probably meant they had to part ways since they were walking in opposite directions. He had hoped to talk to her a while longer. "I guess I should probably head into the forest to find my friends."

[Emma ❀]

"Oh, I guess," Karolina said, smiling a bit but not moving an inch.

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

Banyan kind of wished she had offered to come with or asked him to stay. "Um... Bye," he said lamely.

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((Think they will work? Also... Should we have them part ways and have them bump into each other again?))

[Emma ❀]

Karolina was unsure what to do. She didn't want to prevent him from going, but she was enjoying this chat. He seemed like he was too. But she wouldn't force it. He'd have said it if he wanted to stay longer, right? "Well, umm, see you later I guess? I mean, I'd like to become friends with you. If that's alright."

[Emma ❀]

((Haha, read my mind.))

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

Banyan smiled awkwardly at her. "Yeah," he said, making a noise somewhere between a crack in his voice and a bleat. He cleared his throat. "I mean, yeah. That's alright."

((I kind of want to roleplay him bringing a demigod into camp for the first time at some point. Time-wise, do you want them to bump into each other after? Or ooh! How about Karolina is going to the same school as where he was assigned?! Do you have a demigod that is new to camp; or one that he can find and escort to camp?))

(((view spoiler)[Name: Leila Kesley

Age: 16

Godly Parent: Demeter

Years at Camp: new at camp

Preferred Weapon (no guns guys): A sword

Appearance:
Blonde, curly hair and brown eyes.

Personality: Leila lacks personality. She's sporty, likes Marvel and Star Wars, and learnt astrology from her mother. That's about all there really is to her. You could say she's obsessive, especially when it comes to gaining some personality. In her eyes... That's copying Karolina in everything, down to the exact order of her favourite colours.

History: Leila never knew her mother, obviously. After Demeter left, it didn't take long for her father to find a wife, so for Leila it was almost like she was born the middle kid. She lacked attention, so for her attention seeking nature, that did some harm. For years at school she had no friends. But that all changed when she met Karolina. She became her only friend, so naturally the years passed. She started to get more clingy, and then the copying started. Every last of her personality traits, every last of her likes, beliefs, even talents. Instead of pursuing the things she was good at, Leila tried to become good at what Karolina was talented for. And even the negative things were copied - Karolina's disorganisation, her terrible handwriting... Even the way she spoke, the words she tended to use, the nicknames she gave people. And she gave off negative energy waves which drained Karolina, making her angry or frustrated, often even against others - but never towards Leila somehow. The only thing that prevented Karolina from acting on those feelings was the knowledge that it was Leila causing this. But it didn't stop there - they reached a point where Leila would cry every time Karolina got a better test score than her, where she'd pressure teachers to give her extension work too, when she'd go around telling everyone that Karolina was the one that copied her, that she was way more talented and deserved Karolina's opportunities. But of course, no one believed her, because they saw it too. Even teachers saw it. And Karolina's friends had been pressuring her to talk to Leila about it, and after two years, she did. Leila didn't take it too well, but Karolina didn't stay to see the aftermath since she was taken to CHB. Little did she know that Leila would follow a few years later.

Family (Outside the gods): Justin Kesley, father, alive. Step-brother, Ryan Kesley, alive. Step-sister, Alexis Kesley, alive.

Crush/Bf/Gf: none at the moment

Strongest Skill: speed, energy

Weakest Skill: can ignore details or get too caught up in situations to actually think of what's going on. Overestimates herself but doesn't like to admit it.

Powers: Can grow plants. (hide spoiler)]
This one could work? She used to be Karolina's "best friend".))

[Emma ❀]

"Grool," Karolina smiled. "See you around, then."
She turned and started to walk away, clutching her book and still looking at the spider on her hand.

[Emma ❀]

((Oh, and if that part of the story seems a bit confusing - Karolina still goes to the school, but she didn't stay long to see the reaction because she stayed fir a while at Camp at first.))

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((Yeah, Leila can work. It should definitely be interesting. Would Leila continue to copy Karolina and if so, wouldn't she also take an interest in Banyan too?))

[Emma ❀]

((I think so. She's a nightmare.))

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((Lol So thread switch? I think outside of camp or outside of camp (4) should be open.))

[Emma ❀]

((Alright. Who first?))

[wallflower, Daughter of Metis]

((Can you?))

[Emma ❀]

((Surey-sure.))

[Benjamin]

Brian was walking along the paths of camp. Running his hand through his hair with his right hand, and cutting leaves off the branches of trees with his sword in his left hand. He looked around then sat down on a tree. He pulled his backpack out from behind him and started looking through it.

[Emma ❀]

Pyper was on the other side of that same tree, sketching. She blew a strand of red hair from her freckled face and peeked around the corner of the tree. She saw Brian. Should she say hi or continue on with her business?
She decided she should at least alert him to her presence.
"Hey there," she greeted, rubbing a bit of green paint off her forehead.

[Emma ❀]

((Could we continue tomorrow? Gotta go to sleep.))

[Benjamin]

((Yeah of course! we're hours apart from each other! lol Yeah anytime we aren't both on I'll wait.))

[Benjamin]

Brian grabbed his sword ready to swing it until his brain processed that the voice was a girls. He let go of it turning around facing her. "Oh, hey! Didn't see you there! I almost killed you." Brian joked as he ran his right hand through his hair and smiling at the girl. He immediately closed his backpack up with his left hand.
