This is where every Friday night fireworks are seen by the campers. These aren't your everyday fireworks. With such syncing they seem to move like giant animations across the sky. On a regular weekday the campers come here to party and hangout during free time.

Alec made his way to the beach and hour before Azalea was to meet him. He had already spoke to the nymphs and found himself feeling a small blanket for two with a nice basket of food on the side with small seashell dinner plates and cups from the pavilion. Alec was now wearing a pair of black and grey faded swimming shorts and an unbuttoned black shirt with grey trimming. He had his sunglasses on and rubbed in a load of sunscreen due to his weakness toward the sun. He sat with one knee up and the other bent laying down. He rested his arm on his knee that was up and leaned back on his other hand. The only thing he hated about the beach was that sand was a lot harder to sense vibrations in and the pounding ocean really messed thing sup for air and ground vibrations so if Azalea was coming he wouldn't know it until she was right on top of him.
Alec smirked up at her voice, "I'm simply sitting here and enjoying the day. What are you doing?" he asked having been surprised that he knew she was close before she got right there. He could smell her and it was a nice sweet scent. "Some friends of mine threw a meal together for us and a nice little picnic. The sea breeze has even been calmed just so we can enjoy our meal." He assured her with his cruel yet charming smile. "So what are you wearing?" He asked curiously sensing that her shape has changed with a more comfortable feel to it.
Alec nodded, "Nice, sounds like an appropriate amount of clothing for such a beautiful evening." he said as a joke because he really had no idea what the evening was looking like. "Care for something to drink? "He asked as he handed ehr one of the glasses from the pavilion. It would fill up with whatever she desired. He thought water with a hint of lime and so it appeared. "Care for something to eat?"
Alec frowned, "Um, no actually you will eat whatever I put in front of you. Sorry, but this took some effort into putting this together. I don't have doughnuts and you will eat. I don't expect you to eat all of it, but you will try it." He said reaching into the picnic basket and putting on her plate some grapes, carrots, and cherry tomatoes. He then did the same for his plate. "Sorry that the camp has high security restrictions on alcohol." He apologized sounding rather sincere. "Now eat...and enjoy..or eat and don't enjoy. you are eating either way. Your stomach was growling earlier today when we were fighting." He said with a smirk.
Alec smirked, "Right...no problem I just went through all of this trouble for nothing. I get it really...no big." He said clearly not accepting it. "As far as that monster you call a stomach I can fight for a reason. I feel vibrations and your stomach was what gave you away a few times...that and your rushed heart beat. You were furious with so much emotion it seemed almost painful for me to listen to." He explained. "I didn't want to say anything because it felt like a frequent thing for you."
Alec nodded losing his smirk, "Right...Well consider me not asking. I expect whatever it is that you have to hide you have good reason to do so." He pointed his head at the ground. "Maybe this was a bad idea." He said starting to get up. "I'll just go." He offered feeling he had done something wrong because he has been several months out of his game.
Alec nodding simply in understanding sitting back down comfortably, "Understandable, but why cna't you simply be like me and have no filter and tell the world what is on your mind. For instance right now I'm confused as to whether I pretend to enjoy what is going on now and ignore inner male hormones or I act upon my urges and simply kiss you just to let you know that oyu aren't alone, or I stand up leave ow before I do or say something stupid, or even I could become hostile and make you hate me now." Alec offered his thoughts beginning to wonder nwo if she was thinking that his mind was as complex as a girls.
Alec seemed to sense her thoughts or how she felt. "Well, I guess I should do one of the parts that end with me being disappointed in myself. I doubt you would want anything to do with me after today, but I know when I feel like I am feeling now it always ends badly. Aphrodite ensures that sending Eros to do her bidding." He said rather coldly. He could only think of one way to truly find out the truth. In an instant of reacting with giving her no time and hard concentration on her vibrations he leaned in cupping her cheek softly before kissing her gently on the lips. There was sadness in the expression of her lips, but it made him feel better that he got it out of the way. He rubbed her cheek softly before pulling back. It certainly was no hormonal teenagers kiss. It was a man's kiss with pure confidence in how he did it. His lips pulling back at her bottom as he moved back to his more solitary position.
Alec frowned simply, "I don't know. I mean...you are the only person I have been able to do that to without them falling over and nearly dying. After Aphrodite cursed me my powers kicked in and made it next to impossible to touch anyone and well, now I don't feel like death. I feel actually kind of nice inside." He said downing his head. He couldn't beleive he did it without thinking, but she was alive right now and that meant something. Even earlier today when he touched her drawing otu the venom form spiders he could touch her without her going into shock.
Alec shrugged awkwardly. This was probably the first awkward moment of his life. He was always laid back and easy-going with no problems. Everyone loved him and most wanted him. He was the son of Hades who could bring life to the party and a light to someone's eyes. He even had two guys confess their sexuality to him trying to be with him. They ended up well even in him turning them down because he got them to be together. Now he was completely past laid-back. He didn't know what else to do. Alec rubbed the back of his neck nervously feeling the vibrations around him hoping for someone or something as a distraction only things became worse when a small wave push heart shaped necklaces of sea plants and flowers. Those stupid nereids never did anything the way he wanted them to. He simply hated how well his extrasensory worked so well at times. He could see the hearts they were certainly there and it made him extremely ticked if it would chase off Azalea. "I swear I didn't have them do that. It was only the meal. You looked hungry I had to be nice after nearly killing you slowly and painfully. Not to mention the fact that I really like you." He said trying his best to recover things. "I didn't mean to kiss you I swear. I was testing a theory and you lived so my theory was proven correct. I'm sorry."
Alec raised his head up, "Well, when Aphrodite cursed me to never be in love it opened a new power. Darzakinesis turns light energy into dark energy. Making life into death with a single touch isn't exactly the best way to pick up a date. Then there is the fact that it is never under my control. When my emotions are high it acts up and everything near me begins to wither away. I wear gloves to prevent someone from accidentally going into shock. If someone gets too close to me to smell my sweet luring breath which smells of the sweetness of death you will probably go into a coma and if I kiss you it is like being kissed by death and you will be lucky to survive. It was a risk, but I touched you in the arena my emotions were high then and I managed saving your life and you did the same for me. Then again I kissed you just now and I managed to do it for quite some time and you are still alive and not in a coma or in shock having seizures. My theory was that I can touch you when Aphrodite made it so I could touch no one. In order to experience true love one needs the touch of another. My powers are no longer in control and a goddess was the only being able to truly touch me, but now I doubt even that could happen.
Alec nodded, "I kind of figured it was something like that, but I try to be nice and push people past their issues." He said with a slight flinch at her touch. What was only months felt like years without knowing the touch of another. It was amazing and intriguing all at the same time. His thoughts on being able to touch her so much made it unclear to him at how rude he was sounding by simply presuming she had an eating disorder. He waited for her hostility as she rubbed his hand.
((Is it just me or do you keep changing your pic?))Alec frowned, "Sorry, it's just...I am new to this for some reason after so many months of it never happening I didn't think it would be possible, but it is. I can't believe it, but it is real. I mean let's assume that that is the only thing wrong with me for now...apart from being blind." He took her hand. "Forgive me, but I have ot let myself know that I'm not dreaming. "He said taking her hands with his and rubbing her knuckles with his thumb as one hand slid up her arm rubbing it with the backs of his fingers before sliding up her soft neck and cheek then he caressed it for a moment before leaning in once more for a kiss that seemed to last hours in his mind. He pressed hsi lips against hers and it was like fireworks all over again. Time was freezing and the moment was his forever. He manage dot open her lisp with his own flicking his tongue against her lips and then her own tongue. He smirked and laughed lightly in the kiss ebfore making both hands hold her gently to the side as he assessed roe passionately still in disbelief that it was even happening. He smiled and laughed again before pulling back on her upper lip with his own as if biting her. Then kissed again and pulled back with his teeth on her bottom lip. He moved back to his more solitary seat and downed his head with a shy smile. "Wow...I can't believe it." He never even gave her time to react to him.
Alec was intrigued by this. He hadn't touched someone in months, what felt likes ages now and now here he was touching and kissing Azalea. A girl he just met who was seemingly perfect in every way. He felt his heart skip a beat and begin to pound hard against his chest. He wished he could see her more clearly because he would never want to take his eyes off of her. Had Aphrodite actually lightened up? Was she truly being nice for the first time. No it couldn't be. Aphrodite...all gods held grudges and tormented in the worst of ways. He wanted to kiss Azalea again, but he feared what she might say given she was protesting but she wanted it at the same time. He could feel her heart beat. Aphrodite couldn't be nice. She had him set up. He wasn't falling in love, he couldn't be falling in love, there was no way that Aphrodite would allow such a thing to happen...was there?
((sorry to copy you in the last bit it felt perfect like a romantic novel bouncing between two perspectives of two people.))
((ikr))Alec could only down his head and shift his hand under hers so that he was holding it softly as he rubbed her knuckles. He could only think if this was a cruel joke by Aphrodite or simply her having a heart to let go of her hatred for him. He rubbed the back of his neck with his right hand as she was sitting on his left now. "I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but I hope it is a good thing that you ask." He said plainly having nothing but guilt, excitement, curiosity, frustration, and confusion all mixing into his mind. He was lost as to where he goes form here now. He would love to love Azalea, but he hardly knew her. He wouldn't want this to be a trick by Aphrodite and end up breaking her heart because of the curse when they least expect it or worse the blessing be lifted and he kill her. His mind was spinning and so were his emotions. If he could only see he would feel more at ease because at least then something other than his own thoughts could distract him from this mess of uncertainty.
Alec frowned feeling her grip his hand, "What's wrong? Did I do something wrong? I don't want you to say you love me. It is euphoria if you do. We hardly know one another enough to say such a thing. I want to take things slow if you will have me as your boyfriend. Please just relax calm down...Is it my touch? Are you going into shock..I'm so sorry.I swear I thought we were able to touch..maybe you just have a stronger resistance against death." Alec was going to let go of her, but he didn't have her hand she had his very tightly. Alec pulled her to his bare chest. He held her head to him and murmured a soothing song. "Calm yourself and close you eyes. Life drifts slowly when no one dies. Calm yourself and close your heart. Don't let your demons rip you apart. This world is worth seeing in calm eyes. Look to the sea, look to the sky, look to the earth find where your soul truly lies. Calm yourself and close your eyes..." He was closing his own eyes unable to hep her find her medication but he knew she had to rest and calm down. She was hyperventilating or having some panic attack or sensory overload or an anxiety attack .He was no doctor but she had to calm down. "Please just calm down...calm down."
Alec nodded in understating, "Good, don't take offence to this, but I would rather you have some breathing problem than some kind of anxiety or depression that causes it. I really like you, but I don't want to feel like every anxiety and panic attack you would have is my fault...I can handle breathing issues. I can take care of you then...Sorry from the dramatics...you just made me really nervous something horrible was happening to you." He said clearly concerned with her well being. "I know it isn't normal for others to go into someone else's cabin, but would you like to go to my cabin with me? OR maybe me go to yours?" He asked curiously.
Alec turned his head toward the ocean as if he were actually looking at it. "The sun is setting and there will be a single moment that last exactly fifteen seconds when the sun turns completely red and the skies turn pink, orange, red, and purple." He said at first not answering her question at all. "I want to be in a room a solid room where there are no distractions from just me and you. I want to be able to feel only you not waves, wind, currents, bugs, birds...I want to be able to sense just you." He explained Feeling horrible now she was no longer next to him.
((Wait at the end after him. Alec. did you forget the"" around Alec or was that in her head?))
Alec smiled happy she complied, "Good..." He reached out searching for her hand. Everything was fuzzy when he was on the beach because the vibrations in the ground were sketchy with sand and the pounding waves made everything got in a series of vibrations and it made him literally blind in more than one way. He hated he couldn't find her hand at this one moment, but then again every time the sun was setting in the West he wasn't almost completely blind until it set completely. He knew getting back he would have to summon his sword.
Alec smiled mid kiss and with his free hand pulled Azalea closer as he gently held the back of her head hoping she would do the same to him as he opened his mouth breathing in the air around her and loving the taste. He allowed himself to suck on her bottom lip a bit with a smile then sliding his hand down to her waist as he moved his head up and down with hers using more force in the kiss. It seemed like the perfect google gif where tumblr boys kissed hot girls. It seemed that always the sunsets happened more quickly in the Summer even if daylight lasted longer. It was a matter of minutes while kissing her so passionately that stars gleamed in the sky behind them while the pinks and oranges rested on the horizon and darker purples met with the sky. Nyx was making herself known clearly.
Alec was breathing a bit heavily feeling like he was underwater and all the air in his lungs was about to make him explode. "Yes?" He said his eyes closed as he concentrated hard on slowing his own heartbeat down so that he could see again. His own vibrations made things twice as blurry as what they already were.
Alec enjoyed this moment more than anything. Unfortunately, for him he couldn't grasp her words. He ran through his mind the things he didn't deserve. He didn't deserve love obviously because had he been able to touch others ebfore this point he would be considered a whore. Alec then began wondering what other things he didn't deserve. He didn't deserve to be half as talented as he was because he simply waste such talents for hsi own personal gain normally. He didn't deserve to be able to think for himself because he held such hubris. There were more things than he could think of that he didn't deserve in thsi lfie and yet he was blind to the fact that she was talking abotu the burdens he had not the positives.
Alec smirked, "Thanks, but it is apart of my life. If I could see I would be roe blind than I am now. If I weren't cursed..I'd be a man-hoe." He admitted seeing no good qualities in himself and never admitting it until now. "Whichever place you desire. I can go to your place, but I may have to pull a cheesy move and ask for help back to mine...or we can go back to my cabin and I can walk you to yours I can get my sword from my cabin on the way back and I can actually see a little better." He suggested.
Alec gave her his hand and allowed himself to be helped up. A wave came in quickly and washed away their little picnic leaving only their shoes. Alec was a gentleman when he blew a kiss to the waves and took Azalea's hand in his own before walking off the beach with her.
Chandler walked down to the beach with Alec. He sat down in the sand where the waves could touch his feet.
Alec sat down beside of him. "Isn't this nice? You need some sunshine, Mr. Suicide Serious." He said jokingly. He sat away from him for a moment a bit afraid of him touching him.
"I guess it's kind of nice." Chandler said. He leaned back on his hands, not responding to the second part of his comment.
((hey I was wondering if you wanted to rp in the other account with Cameron and Zack, i think that's who it is anyway??))
Alec smirked in his direction unable to help but to allow a light snikker to come out for a moment. "Why not get in the water?"
((ok one second))Chandler shrugged. "I guess." He said, standing up.
Alec smiled and stood with him, "Come on Mr. hotstuff show us your muscles." He said playfully as they walked into the water's edge.
