It's all in my head

Adam Collins here. 16. From Scotland, now in Camp-Half Blood. Son of Urania. Muses of Astrology apparently. I can't say if we'll get along straight away, but I'll give you my word to try not to bite your head off if you annoy me to much, sounds fair? *RP ACCOUNT*

[greater-grey]

I’m not judging you, I’m just… Surprised, that’s all. *widens eyes* Our house? So you um… You live with a woman? Her mom? *looks to her feet and bites her lips* When?

[adamofthenight-blog]

I...yeah that’s understandable. -smiles slightly- I mean mine and Tessa’s house. I live with her mum yeah, and I mean...I guess we’re together. I don’t donk Camille, it’s really complicated. -sighs- We met early last year, we’d known each other a few weeks, month at most and she found out she was pregnant.

[greater-grey]

Of course you can. Whatever you say, idiot. *looks at it and shakes her head* N-no. I mean, she’s asleep. I don’t wanna disturb her or anything… So you’re married?

[adamofthenight-blog]

Don’t judge me. -puts the monitor back- Nah, she can sleep through anything, there was a car crash outside our house a few weeks ago and not even an eye flutter. Plus I er should get back soon, she’ll be waking up. -shakes his head- No, not married. Not even....technically in a relationship. It’s-it’s complicated.

[greater-grey]

Aha, weren’t you mister popular a while ago? And you’re not gonna lose him, we’re just gonna have something in common. *nods slowly* I um… Wow. That was unexpected. Is um… Is she around?

[adamofthenight-blog]

I can be popular with limited friends! Hm...yeah yeah. -nods slowly, pulling a baby monitor out of his back pocket- She’s asleep in my cabin, Thing’s with her. I kinda had to bring her with me, needed to check some stuff with Chiron. You can um...meet her. If you want to? I mean you don’t have to, it’s just....yeah. 

[greater-grey]

Oh come on, it’s not like you’d have anything against it! …would you? *smiles* Yeah, I’m just a nice soul with a nice everything. That’s just me. *nods* Sure, I’ll call, don’t worry. *widens eyes and stays quiet for a while* …daughter?

[adamofthenight-blog]

Hey, I can’t afford to lose friends, they’re hard to come by. -grins- Sue you are Camille. -bits his lip, nodding- Yeah. She’s er...yeah. I want to say a mistake, but she’s not, she’s the furthest thing from that. She just wasn’t...planned. 

[greater-grey]

Tell me more about your friend, then. *chuckles* Yeah, that was a compliment, you idiot. Now stop it, it’s not like I don’t compliment people anyway! *nods* Yeah I um… I might even visit you someday, if you’d like that. *raises an eyebrow* Tessa? Who’s that?

[adamofthenight-blog]

Oh no, not going to do that. You’ll probably like him more! -grins- Aww like this nicer side of you Grey, it’s very...nice. -blushes slightly- Yeah, I wouldn't mind that. But er, call first okay? Tessa is.... -runs a hand through his hair- she’s well she’s my eight month old....daughter. 

[greater-grey]

We would? Hm… Is he cute, though? *smiles slightly* You’ve always been the greatest, did you know that? Of all the people I know, including myself, you’re the greatest person I’ve ever met. Thank you, Adam. *laughs* Of course they do. I bet Dom is the only kid who isn’t scared of you, weirdo. *Dom laughs and reaches a hand to Adam*

[adamofthenight-blog]

Oh he’s not to bad I guess. -grins- Woah, was that...a compliment? Im going to need a moment to remember this. -laughs- You’re welcome, just, don’t forget about us not as great people when you’re all big a famous yeah? -shakes his head, still grinning at Dominic- Nah, he’s not the only one. Tessa’s quite fond of me too. -freezes- Crap. 

[greater-grey]

Of course! The guy who barely ever laughs. Sounds popular for me! *grins* You really think so? I don’t know, I just… I’ve never thought of myself as anything less than great and now I don’t want this and it’s hella confusing. *Dominic giggles and waves back* Well, he likes you, apparently. You and your funny hair.

[adamofthenight-blog]

You and my friend Carter would get along great, all you do is take the piss. -sigs, but nods- You can still be great and work for something smaller. You just gotta...do something for yourself. -grins- Of course he likes me! All kids like me, I’m a natural y’know. Oh yes I am! -wiggles his fingers in front of Dominic, poking his tongue out- Blonide just doesn’t get it does she little buddy?

[rubyredwisp]

Get to Know Me Meme: [3/10] Celebrity Crushes: Kit Harington It’s weird, this double personality – being a character. [On occasion, fans will yell out] “Bastard!” I can’t tell whether they’re talking about the show, or if they just don’t like me (laughs).

[greater-grey]

Look at who’s popular now! That’s great, Adam. I’m really happy for you. Do you like what you’re doing? *sighs* Yeah but where? Where can I dance? If I come back here my dad will probably stop giving me money. I’ll have nowhere to live. *sighs as Dominic reaches to grab Adam’s hair* Woah hey there, no, no, no.

[adamofthenight-blog]

Hey, I’ve always been popular, you just scared everyone away. -laughs- Yeah, yeah I do. So what? Grey, you’re really fricking talented, you can get a job with probably any dance company and be making more than enough money to live on. You just gotta...take the chance. -laughs, grabbing his hand and waving a little bit- Hey there buddy, that’s attached. 

[greater-grey]

Look at you, all grown up and working! Bet your friends are proud of you. I am. And there’s nothing wrong with being naturally talented, you know. *sighs* Yeah but I don’t know how to do anything but it. Dancing is my passion, and that’s what I’m good at. Nothing else is. *frowns* You’re really confusing. What the hell is going on?

[adamofthenight-blog]

They took me out to get drink and everything -laughs- You can still dance y’know, just doesn’t have to be for the Royal. Maybe there’s a small company you can join and make into something great? -sighs- Fuck. I- can you forget i said that?

[greater-grey]

*smiles* You’re a teacher now?! What subject? Can’t be english, your accent is way too distractive. *sighs* I mean I still love dancing but… But being part of the Royal isn’t my dream. It’s my dad’s. But what am I supposed to do? *widens eyes* Thing’s got a baby? Oh, that’s what you meant! Congrats, you’re part of a pack now! *laughs*

[adamofthenight-blog]

That I am. Hey! There are people with far stronger accents than mine love. Astrology, thought I may as well use my god given talents to get some money. -nods- Well yeah...you shouldn’t follow someone else dream if you don’t wont it. What do you want? -shakes his head- No exactly....

[greater-grey]

Tired? Why’s that? You got a job now? *looks down and sighs* Hard. Do you know when half of your life’s been a lie? *chuckles* As always. He’s scary, you know. You should be proud.

[adamofthenight-blog]

That’s half of the reason. I er...-scratches the back of his neck- I work at the local college in my town and do the occasional lecture at universities around the country. -frowns a little- What do you mean? Not what you thought it would be huh? -laughs- You don’t know the half of it. It’s like he’s got his own kid now. 

[greater-grey]

*raises an eyebrow* I’m sorry, what year is this again? What do you mean? *chuckles and genuinely smiles* I missed you too, you idiot.

[adamofthenight-blog]

I- fuck -frowns- Nothing. Forget I said anything. -grins- Nice to know. 

[greater-grey]

*raises her eyebrow even more* Okay… How have you been, though? How’s Thing?

[adamofthenight-blog]

I’ve been...tired. So very tired. You? Hows the dancing? -laughs a little- He’s....protective. 

[greater-grey]

*raises an eyebrow* I’m sorry, what year is this again? What do you mean? *chuckles and genuinely smiles* I missed you too, you idiot.

[adamofthenight-blog]

I- fuck -frowns- Nothing. Forget I said anything. -grins- Nice to know. 

[greater-grey]

Yeah, he’s Cole’s. *frowns slightly but then smiles* What, can’t I miss my dearest friends, love?

[adamofthenight-blog]

Right, your Satya friend. Got it. -raise an eyebrow- Guess you can. Just didn’t expect to see you around  is all. 

[greater-grey]

Yeah. He’s got a child, can you believe that? *kisses Dominic’s cheeks, then looks at Adam and smirks* Is that another way to say you missed me?

[adamofthenight-blog]

-mumbles under his breath- he’s not the only one. -shrugs, smiling a little- Might be. 

[greater-grey]

Yeah, he’s Cole’s. *frowns slightly but then smiles* What, can’t I miss my dearest friends, love?

[adamofthenight-blog]

Right, your Satya friend. Got it. -raise an eyebrow- Guess you can. Just didn’t expect to see you around  is all. 

[greater-grey]

*carries baby Dominic around* See? And that’s the forest, and it’s really dangerous for such cuties like you.

[adamofthenight-blog]

-clears his throat- Er…. he yours? 

[greater-grey]

Hm? Oh no, he’s… *looks at him and widens her eyes* He’s kind of half-goat… So no, not mine.

[adamofthenight-blog]

Half-goat....of course. -smirks- What brings you back to camp then?
