Michael sighed. "Whatever." He walked off to the Athena cabin. He had one of the mini cabins.

Zyra saw Addy looking at her and smirked, knowing what was going to happen next. Addy would come over and ask about the threat, and like always, Zyra would act oblivious, saying she'd never do something like that.

(I was also thinking that too, and thanks for saying yes!)

Lewis got up from where he'd perched on the sidelines, grateful he hadn't had to participate in that match. He started walking back towards his cabin, but stopped and decided to take a stroll around the camp instead.

Michael made his way into the cabin and continued his work, drawing up blueprints. Hephaestus kids could forge some cool stuff, but they weren't as versed in guns as swords, so he had been forced to make blueprints for his new weapon.

Name: Angel Marie Fairbrooke
Other names: Angie, Ang, Fairy, (Hairball [by the bullies])
Godly Parent: Aphrodite
Age: 14
Appearance: 4'10". Pale skin. Blue left eye, grey right eye. Rainbow hair (red at the roots, pink at the bottom[dyed]) that reaches 2" below shoulder blades and covers her right eye.
Personality: Shy but sweet once you get to know her. She loves animals and, despite being a daughter of Aphrodite, doesn't care much for her appearance and usually wears baggy clothing. Doesn't much like the way shy looks, nor does she care to maintain good personal hygiene.
Background: Her father died from cancer a week after sending her to Camp Half Blood. With no one to take care of her precious Anna (female, brown tabby, cat) she managed to convince the directors to let her bring her into camp. She brings her everywhere, and claims to have a telepathic connection with her if you're one of the poor souls who asks. She hasn't been here for long and is known as "Hairball" among the more rude of the camp. Oh, and a word of advice: NEVER call her Marie.
(How's this?)

( That's fine. )
Addy huffed when her teammate walked away, but didn't think ill of him. She was just as annoyed as he was.
All around her, Apollo kids began to tend to the wounded. Addy did her share of healing, but thank the gods that a smaller number of children got injured this time around. The older Harley got, the more elaborate and dangerous his race became, and the labyrinth only made everything more dangerous.
When she saw that her siblings could handle the rest of the injured, she began to stroll over to Zyra's cabin. She passed Lewis on the way, telling him hello and offering a high five. Personally, Addy liked Lewis, even if his mother gave her the heebie jeebies. She wished he would hang around more.
"Ahh, Zyra!" she cooed when she reached her friends cabin. "Threatening my siblings again I see?" she offered, even though she knew Zyra would deny it.

Angel was sitting against the outside wall of the cabin whispering songs to Anna. When she heard Addy approach. She didn't pay it much mind, and instead began drawing for her feline friend.

Daisy was bored, and a bored Daisy was a rarely a good thing for the rest of the campers. When she was bored, she got into trouble. Like many of her siblings, Daisy was adept at pranks, theft, and generally causing chaos. She toyed with a bracelet that she had long ago stolen from one of the Aphrodite girls, debating on who would be the most fun to mess with. Someone she didn’t know very well would do for sure, but who? Her eyes roamed the camp, looking for someone to aggravate.
She clutched one of the kid’s watches in her hand, thinking that she could plant it on an unsuspecting person. She couldn’t remember whose watch it was, maybe an Apollo or Athena camper? She’d only taken it a couple of days ago, but seeing as Daisy was less than great at making friends, kleptomania seemed to be her way of having fun.
A couple of kids were glaring at each other, and that could potentially be fun to stir some tension. There was a boy walking around by himself, looking like the perfect target. As she casually strolled, apparently aimlessly at first, she recognized the kid as Lewis. Hmm. Why not mess with him? She walked towards him, a smile bubbling to her lips.
“Hi, mind if I join you?” she asked cheerfully, slipping the watch into her pocket and thinking of how to plant it on him.

Michael handed them off to one of the Hephaestus campers, along with a few other blueprints that they had agreed would be the price. He walked out of the cabin and went straight to the amphitheater. He wanted to spend some time sharpening up his sparring skills before he started training with the gun.

Zyra glanced at Addy when she reached the roof of her cabin, looking offended at what she said. "And where did you hear this rumor? From your siblings?" She asked, raising an eyebrow at her. "You know they lie about me, they don't really like me, considering we're total opposites."

Angel couldn't help but listen in on Zyra and Addy's conversation. They were so close by that it was hard to ignore. Besides, Anna was kind of curious.

Addy laughed. "You have got to stop threatening them. Katy is dating Henry from the Hermes cabin, so we have connections to get you back." glancing over, she saw a Hermes girl walk up to Lewis and start talking, making her chuckle. That wouldn't end well.
"Anyways, you should come down. We could go find Mike or Angel or something," she suggested. "Unless you're scared of my siblings coming for you, that is," she added slyly.

Lewis looked to Daisy and shrugged.
"Yeah, go ahead, I guess."
He kept walking, getting a few strides ahead of her.
"Did you need something?"

“Can I not just get to know the other campers?” she asked, slightly offended, gradually speeding up her steps to come even with him. It was a less noticeable way than hurrying to catch up. “We hardly know each other. Besides, I was bored.”

Lewis scoffed.
"Hm, fair enough," he said, "Come on, I guess."
He eyed Daisy, feeling a little suspicious, but it was probably unwarranted. Usually few people actively tried to talk to him unless it was to prank him or otherwise mess with him, but he wasn't going to push aside a potential friend in fear of that.

Daisy beamed, though it looked a bit mischievous. However, her face always seemed to have a bit of mischief in it, even the few times she was doing something completely honorable. “So, your name is Lewis, right?” she asked, actually kind of wanting to know more about him in spite of her intention to mess with him.

Lewis sighed.
"Yes, and you're Daisy, yeah?"
She wasn't even certain of his name. Gods. Whatever. He wasn't about to throw away an opportunity to make allies.
"One of Hermes' kids. How is it living in the Hermes cabin as an actual Hermes kid? I was there briefly before getting claimed, and well… it was almost nightmarish."
He chuckled to himself.

Zyra laughed at the threat, a mischievous smirk on her face. "Bring it, sweetheart." She glanced around camp before looking at Addy. "I'll make them piss their pants in five seconds."

(Question, is cursing allowed?)

“It’s pretty…interesting,” Daisy replied truthfully. “Less torturous than people who are unclaimed, most of the time. It’s always disorganized, but sometimes we band together for pranks and stuff. What’s it like to live in a cabin without five million people in it?”

Zyra laughed at the threat, a mischievous smirk on her face. "Bring it, sweetheart." She glanced around camp before looking at Addy. "I'll make them piss their pants in five seconds."

(Question, is cursing allowed?)

(Uh.. since this is based off a children's book series imma go with no… but I don't really consider piss a cuss word)

Addy rolled her eyes. "Can't we have a normal, friendly conversation for two seconds?"

Michael walked onto the grounds and sat on one of the benches, sighing.

Zyra laughed at the threat, a mischievous smirk on her face. "Bring it, sweetheart." She glanced around camp before looking at Addy. "I'll make them piss their pants in five seconds."

(Question, is cursing allowed?)

(Uh.. since this is based off a children's book series imma go with no… but I don't really consider piss a cuss word)

Addy rolled her eyes. "Can't we have a normal, friendly conversation for two seconds?"

(It's not because of that, it's just that she's the type that curses like a sailor)

"Maybe," Zyra answered, a smile on her face. "Depends on what we're talking about."

Sighing, Addy rolled her eyes again. She did that often when with Zyra. "I'm going to work on sword training. Come or don't, but preferably don't if you're gonna get on me like that."
She strode down towards the arena, not looking back to see if her friend had followed. On the way, she spotted Micheal, and decided to try and have a conversation with him before she trained. She really did wish they were better friends; they made good death race partners, after all.
"Hey Mike, what's up?" she asked, walking over to him but not sitting down.

Zyra sighed and got off the roof of her cabin, making her way into her cabin and smiling at her siblings. Let's hope I didn't do anything bad.

"The sky," Michael said without looking at her.

"You're hilarious." she said sarcastically. "What are you working on?"

"I'm waiting for Hephaestus kids to make something for me."

"Cool," she said, clicking her tongue. "Well I-"
"ALL CAMPERS MAKE YOUR WAY TO DINING HALL IMMEDIATELY. ALL CAMPERS, PLEASE LEAVE YOUR STATIONS NOW AND MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE DINING HALL. THIS IS NOT A DRILL." the alert repeated itself a few times, and half bloods everywhere hastily made their way to the dining hall, confusion on all of their faces.
Addy looked at Micheal, and began to make her way up to the dining hall herself.

Angel packed her things and picked up Anna, scurrying to the Dining Hall. "What do you think this is about?" She asked the cat.

I don't know. What am I, the Oracle? Anna answered.

"Nevermind. I'll figure it out when we get there."

Zyra and her siblings all headed to the Dining Hall, all of them going to their friends the moment they made it there. Zyra was left by herself and stood around near the back, not sure what to do anymore.
