((Sorry, Persephone))The computers didn’t seem to be password-protected, so Dillon didn’t have any trouble pulling up a search engine for the database. He wasn’t sure what to type first. Perhaps just more on his mother-not-mom (as was his distinction).
((Okay.))
She sat in the mythological creatures section, and studied her creatures for her upcoming test. SHe wondered who that boy was. She hadn't seen him at camp.

Just typing in her name (& he was glad he’d spelled it correctly) brought up a few hundred hits, he thought he’d be safe with the first.
She peeked out behind the bookshelf to find a small boy only 10 or 11. She walked up to check out a book to study. SHe saw the boy, and sat next to him.
It looked like a bio page on the spring goddess, and as he scoured the page he recognized certain parts of her story like her mother Demeter & marriage to Hades, this knowledge certainly added to this new extended family he hadn’t known he had.He’d been reading when the girl from before sat down, and it gave him a little start. Did all the girls pop out of nowhere here?
“Hello,’ he said, but it came out more like a question than a greeting.
Kelsey answered plolitely. "Hello. I'm Kelsey. And your name is...?"
"Pleasure." Kelsey smiled, and looked at her computer.
Taking her lead, Dillon looked back at his computer, but he thought he might as well ask, since she’d sat next to him. “So, which cabin are you in?”
"Not really, Demter is like your half aunt. I guess?" Kelsey said. She started to laugh a little.
“Grandmother", he said, double-checking the page. “But I guess if you start connecting everyone you might get a headache.” He added in some laughter too, but careful not to be too loud.
" Yeah, I guess," said Kelsey. She was shy, and only showed her real personality around the people she knew best.
He began opening more pages, and there seemed to be a number of ones on her children as well, but nothing more than standard camp-registry looking files. He noticed there didn’t seem to be many male offspring.Dillon decided to speak up again to Kelsey. “Can I ask, are there a lot of other kids in your cabin?”
"Yeah, it is pretty packed. We need an extension to our cabin almost! Why?" She aksed Dillon.
“Just wondering,” he said. “There aren’t as many in mine, least as far as I can tell.” He wasn’t quite sure if he would prefer more people, at least it was quieter.
"Yeah, most people never hear about Pershepones. Most don't even get to camp." Kelsey looked down at the floor.
Don’t get to camp? That sounded kind of ominous to Dillon, he hadn’t thought about kids of gods not actually making it to camp before. He hadn’t considered the fact that he might be lucky to have been brought here.“Yeah, I hadn’t heard much about her either really,” he said, trying not to let on about his mini-revelation. (it might have been common knowledge for all he knew). “I wanted to learn more though, so I’ve been looking her up on here.” He gestured to the screen.
((I need to hop off for a while, but thank you for humoring a new-ish person, hope I'm still doing alright. :))
"Cool." Said Kelsey. She heard that people never made it to camp, especially if they were born in the underworld.
This certain slumber-ridden camper was slowly flipping through the pages of an old children's book she remembered from long ago. She had found it on one of the tables, and it had brought a bitter-sweet smile to her lips. Her fingers delicately pinched the corner of a page, gently scanning the next page.
She sat in one of the chairs, legs crossed at the ankles and bags under her eyes. A large sweatshirt she had borrowed from her brother swallowed her up, frail body barely visible.

Michaelangela walked in, gown-like dress flowing behind her. The scents of summer wafted off of the tiny girl- wheat, hay and sunlight. Her reddish-brown eyes scanned the room, landing on the small daughter of Hypnos.A small smile crossed Michaelangela's pale lips as she waltzed across the room and took a seat beside her friend.
Ronnie looked up, a warm smile painting her tired-looking face. "Hey Mikai. You look pretty." She commented, lightly setting down the book with care. Wondering if her friend had heard about Santiago, but she wasn't going to bring it up.
((They're friends. Ronnie used to be social butterfly, tottally in love with Eros camper Santiago. He suddenly dissapeared one day a year ago. Ronnie was all depressed and dissapeared, fading to the background. Scarred and hurt, she didn't know why he left. Now he's back, but he's keeping from her why he ever left. It keeps her up.))

((okie;)))Michaelangela (... whim was right. That's a mouthful haha) smiled softly. "Thanks. You look... /tired/," she said honestly. "Everything alright?"
Ronnie's hand instinctively reached up, wiping her eyes from whatever sleep crust they might have held. But they hadn't she realized what she really looked tired from. Since Charity hadn't been her friend, she realized she hadn't really told anyone about what has happened besides her siblings. "Santiago is back." The words sounded a little pained, and Ronnie winced at her own pitiful voice. "I should be happy, but everything is so screwed up."
Her thin lips rounded into a frown, and Michaelangela gave her friend a hug. "I'm sorry. Is he alright?"
"He's fine." I'm not., She thought bitterly. But her friend made her feel better, knowing someone was there she could count on. But, that's what she thought about the Santiago, and Charitey. Suddenly, she had a sharp intake of breath. It happened at the same time, there was some connection. Eureka. If one admitted, both would be exposed.
((This probably make no sense to you whatsoever. Charitey was her best friend, and then when Santiago left she just stopped. I'm not sure if Ivi wants people to know, but there's a reason that Ronnie doesn't know about.))

"I-I-I..." Ronnie stammered, blushing a rosy color unable to finish her sentence. Her eyes found her hands that were resting in her pockets. "I'm confused and hurt, honestly. He won't tell me why he left, and the reason why he came back is so cryptic I can't make any sense of it." She admitted quietly.
A small smile lit up Michaelangela's expression. "Well, why did he come back? What's cryptic about it?"
"It's something about 'he couldn't be a coward forever'. I'm not sure, it's all so blurry. And emotional." She wasn't sure if it was blurry because she was sleepy, or because her mind was blocking out that nightmare. Michaelangela's smile reassured her, though and Ronnie smiled back with her warm eyes.
"Too bad I'm such a little bugger. I'd get out of it but..." She glanced at the girl. "I need to know why he left. Things were so good, it was so abrupt." She inwardly groaned at the way this sounded like a chick flick romance novell. Not caring to add she still had feelings for him.
((chick flick(;))Michaelangela smiled a little. "I understand. Just don't get sucked in and lose your life or something."
"I don't think I'll die. And, I'm pretty much at rock bottom. I mean, I'm reading The Little Engine That Could." She let out a bitter laugh at the book on the table.
"But I know everyone at camp!" Ronnie protested, a foolish smile penetrating her glum mood. The cuffs of her sweatshirt were pulled up to her knuckles, as she bit the end of her thumb nail to clamp down her smile with no success.
"Hey, you'd be surprised. In my 'popular' days I was quite the busy bee." She protested lightheartedly.




Kelsey saw a glimpse of the guy that walked passed her. She smiled on the inside. Kelsey wasn't a big reader herself, but she hadn't seen the library recently. He dark hair blew to the left as the breeze came into the library through open windows.
