"16! A wonderful age indeed." He proclaimed in a booming voice, raising his arms. "Who, praytell, is your godly parent, Acacia?" He spoke softer this time, bringing his arms down the gesturing to the heavens

Raine looked around at the near-empty Persephone table and at one of her few half-brothers sleeping on the table

Well, someone sure has a flair for the dramatic, Acacia thought. "Athena, or so I've been told. The satyr that brought me said it was most likely her, according to 'the way I act and analyze everything'." She put air quotes around the satyr's opinion.
Her eyes cast about the ring of tables, scouring them with a critical eye. The other Athena campers looked at her casually; they weren't bothered by any of it, since she had made herself at home in the Athena cabin earlier that day.

"Ah, Athena, you'll be right at home." He gestured to the casual yet welcoming faces of Acacia's half-siblings. "Everybody, please welcome Acacia! 16-year-old demigod daughter of Athena! You may join the Athena campers at their table, and they will explain how supper works." Chiron quickly dismissed her and went about his few announcements before walking towards Dionysus and sitting beside him on the ground.

Acacia plopped her butt down on the bench next to one of her brothers. "Food, ay?"

(for whatever reason I always imagined the benches the concrete ones at parks, yk? not sure why.)

"Yup," he replied. "Cool magic plates." his eyes unfocused for a second. "Make a wish!" he giggled, and Acacia noticed his eyes looked a bit sleep-deprived.
She turned to the sister on her left. "Hey, um…the cabin is safe from bugs, right?"
The girl, whose name was Patricia, nodded with a knowing expression. "Yeah. They can't get us here."
Acacia nodded back. "'Aight, now where are the fabled magic dishware?"

The dishes sort of just appeared in front of each of the campers, food shortly following after they made their wishes. Acacia's brother and sister made their wishes almost immediately and got exactly what they asked for
Raine at a table somewhat distant from Acacia's nodded at her and wished for nothing but fruit. Cherries, raspberries, and blueberries. She smiled at Acacia and ate her fruit slowly

Acacia's defiance and proud demeanor dropped as her thought for bacon-wrapped steak, mashed potatoes and steamed carrots appeared in front of her. Her jaw hung limp for just a second before snapping back up. The magnificent feast disappeared almost as fast as it had arrived.
She noticed Raine watching her and raised an eyebrow. Of course, I was nice to her once now she wants to be bestest buddies.. She twitched both eyebrows up then began covering with her siblings, asking about the activities and learning opportunities her at camp. They hardly got to eat as she questioned them, while she devoured her steak and potatoes.

Raine rapped excitedly on the Athena cabin door. "Acacia~ Wakey wakey" The whole Athena cabin had been up and about for about an hour, and Acacia was the only one missing. Raine was usually up bright and early herself, but let her sleep for a bit.

the door popped open immediately. Acacia stood, her hair a fluffy mess of tangles, her eyes sharp. She was dressed in tough canvas pants and a gray marble-patterned tank top under a black leather jacket with the zipper open.
"Aye? What time is it? Is there something I gotta do?" Her eyes darted around, as if looking for a target.

"We kinda have to get up before 7. It's 7:45." She said, rubbing the back of her neck and smiling. "I convinced Chiron to let me get you up, but I don't know if Dionysus is going to yell or not." she leaned against the cabin wall. She was dressed in black denim overalls, cut off at the middle of her thigh. underneath, she's wearing a light purple turtleneck. She has on black high-top Converse and knee-high white socks. It's a cute fit, accented by a few rings distributed evenly between her hands, and one could notice for the first time that Raine has a septum ring. She blows her fluffy curls out of her eyes and turns to Acacia "I'll give you about 10 minutes to get ready before Mr.Grapevine comes stormin' and garce"

"im ready now– well no, I have to get my hair in order. But ill be out in a few minutes."
she shut the door, her receding footsteps audible from where Rain stood.
After approximately three minutes she stepped fully out of the Athena cabin. her hair was tightly French braided back and sliver owl earrings were in place in her earlobes.
"Is breakfast done or what?" she walked toward the dining pavilion, belting on two throwing knives.

"Breakfast starts in about 12 minutes," She said, walking casually towards the dining pavilion "It's cool. Monsieur Pleurnichard isn't there until about 20 minutes in." She looked at Acacia's earrings and smiled "Those are cool earrings"

she nodded absently, her eyes still roving. "Yeah… thanks, I mean. What do you do all day here?"
She fell into step next to Rain, matching her pace without thinking. Her hands reached up to fiddle with the earrings subconsciously.

(oof, ik this is a short post but this is literally all she's doing. I cant think of anything else to add)

"Uh, usually we have demi-god type activities, camp games, stuff like that," She said as they reached the dining pavilion "This is where we part for a bit, but we're playing capture the flag later. That game is brutal, so prepare yourself. Your cabin should help you get the hang of it though" She said before skipping off to the Persephone table with her few half-siblings, leaving little room for Acacia's potential questions

Acacia just nodded and set to devour some food– a mountain of French toast, half a pig of bacon, Idaho's finest peppery hashbrowns and a lake of syrup. "Excellent feast," she murmured to herself. A sibling nodded, nibbling on some pastry thing.
"Yup, we get fed good around here." he was short, with dark hair and an easygoing smile. "Have you been claimed yet?"
she raised an eyebrow and swallowed a bite of toast-wrapped bacon. "Claimed?"
his smile increased. "That's a no. Mom will make a sign over your head to mark you as her daughter. Big glowy owl, can't miss it." He stood from his seat–which was with his butt on the table and his feet on the bench–and clapped her on the shoulder. He didn't notice how she flinched, her hands twitching for her knife for an instant. "See ya 'round, sis." He chuckled like he'd made a good joke and strolled away to the archery range.
Acacia decided she didn't care for that brother.

Capture the Flag was always brutal. Kids duking it out with godly abilities and deadly weapons. Fun. Rain found Acacia easily and took her to the side. "Game plan?" She asked coolly. She might have something up her sleeve, Rain supposed

(not meee forgetting about this one…glad to be reminded tho)

"Is the terrain hilly, flatter, densely vegetated or what? I figure since its in the woods it will be more slightly hilly with lots of shrubbery." The words came easily to Acacia's lips, already working on strategy. "And how many other Athena kids will be on the same team as me?" She tapped her fingers in an unusual pattern on her thighs, occasionally reaching for her knife hilt or the hem of her shirt. Despite herself, she was exited at the prospect of a tussle, adrenaline already making her ADHD act up more than usual. She didn't make eye contact with Rain as she asked the question, but nodded in her general direction.

"The terrain is slightly hilly, though flatter than you'd expect in a forest. Shrubbery is everywhere." She relayed flatly. She'd been on this field hundreds of times. She knew a lot about the area, as she spent free time practicing here. "There will be about 6 or 7 on your team. Knowing Athena kids, some will want to help you, and some will be out for their own gain" She absent mindedly touched her earrings, fiddling with them and her lobes as she spoke

Acacia nodded. "I'm on red team?"
Thoughts racing, she debated whether offering to be on offense or defense. She had heard other campers mentioning the two positions, and some names of defenders and offense players on the opposing teams. "Do I have to pick one or the other? Offense or defense, I mean. I can easily do both, but most everyone else seems to act like its a one or the other kind of deal."

"We're both red team." Rain said, looking around. "Both works. Most act like it's either or but it's more effective to do both" she spoke softly but calmly. She crouched down and touched both hand to the ground, closing her eyes and focusing. After a few moments, she said "The flag is hidden near the Aphrodite cabin. I don't know exactly where yet, but in that area" she said matter-of-factly
