WAS THAT A MIRROR ? then COSMO is going to have to stop and stare at his reflection for a little bit ! - visage , body , musings , headcanons , wants , interactions .

what could she do but nod along, wolfish grin meeting his psychotic one? it absolutely had to be done, and holli could not afford a doubt in her mind that ese would split her skull open if given another chance; it was too dangerous. this was no time to be squeamish. cosmo's simmering rage was a useful tool. men managed to kill their ex girlfriends all the time, and this one actually deserved it. "i have an encrypted app, one sec, lemme get this down." she pulled out her phone and noted his suggestions in goblin. "it has to be good glamour. and i think we have to train ourselves not to be...like...emotional. if she catches us slippin in any way, we'd be toast...the kidnapping idea has real merit, we improve our odds with less risk to ourselves...camp would help, for sure. i think we have to track down more gods too, we need numbers and firepower. hmmm. i really gotta find dio." she makes another few notes, frowning. "there's always so much to do. do you know where your mom is?" she thought back, trying to remember if she'd heard anything about her and didn't think so.

[beautyspawn]

some might have deem this conversation toxic for cosmo, one that was tarnishing his will. he just arrived moments ago and he was already talking about killing his ex-girlfriend. that was fine with him. the fact that holli was going along with it and even had an encrypted app to take notes automatically took away any guilt he could have had. "from what i've seen and read, i believe those connected to aphrodite and dionysus are good at glamour and illusion. we'd only be better if we had circe and iris' kin alongside us." which he wasn't going to bank on. "gods first then. i just got here so i haven't looked for my mother, but i'll make sure to do so if she's missing." not that cosmo knew what was really going on with all of that, he'd have to catch up yet again. "i can help keeping our emotions in check. after all, what is an empath to do if not that? i can also help with firepower. i'm pretty, but i pack a mean bolt in these hands." then he'd search for the gods as well.

[haildioson]

"oh ho ho, a taste of her own medicine sounds like a fantastic idea. she's gonna fuckin choke on it before we're done." holli fanned the blood lust in her own heart, feeling truly righteous about that, and knowing that the camp's goals aligned with her putting all the blame on esmeralda, then fuckin nuking her to die along with all the responsibility for what had happened. that was a very lovely feeling, vindicating. revenge was a perfect reason to stay and a good bonding activity, in her eyes. "perfect. we're gonna need the passion. because what in the fuck can we even do that would match her? a taste of her own medicine i guess would technically be the dancing dust, but i'm positive she's on guard for that. we're gonna have to be smarter. like twice as smart as we are now. we need her kryptonite."

[beautyspawn]

"i might be able to help with that." while he couldn't exactly stun people like holli and es or put them in trances, his thing was supposed to be beauty and desire. he could twist emotions at his own will and that was going to be what he did to her followers. "imagine her shock when her workers turn on her and gut her from the back." there's a smirk that has formed on cosmo's face, probably a little bit more psychotic than he was willing to lead on so early in a conversation. still, he was being filled with joy thinking about helping people take her down for good. nothing got him going like social destruction. "i think we need to learn how to glamour ourselves. sneak into the club and act like everyday folks just to learn how it all works. then with the intel we can figure out how to take her down. or start kidnapping people ourselves and make them talk."

[just-a-pole-sir]

[haildioson]

"yeah." holli basically dissociated from the moment to first picture exactly what a nice fuck she knew her to be, and what a delicious mind fuck she could be just for a fleeting moment, and then hated herself for all that she could remember with stunning clarity. and the little butterflies she felt to think of what could have been if es had just been cool. "yeah i...i'm just gonna be honest because maybe that's the thing i haven't tried yet, who knows: i've never felt like more of a stupid, airheaded, easy mark, and it helps the tiniest bit to think that you were too. i think she even tricked corey, felix, and london to some extent so...maybe she's just that good. and i get it." she definitely felt like cosmo could have done more to help but he was fighting in his own way, and was gonna fight with them now. and she could have done a lot more to not be there in the first place, certainly had looked like she was happy to stay a while even before she got dusted. that was on her. she reached to give him a couple sharp pats on the arm. "hope you settle in and stay a while."

[beautyspawn]

for a split second cosmo was going to be offended. he was going to stand up, go on a whole dramatic spiel, and then make a dramatic exit. it all stemmed from her calling him an easy mark. then he sat with the thought for a second. technically he was. he was an even bigger mark since he ended up sleeping with the woman and still not knowing anything was wrong. he'll never let that happen again. "i don't know about you, but she's never going to get in my head now that i know what she's up to. hell, i say we should give her a taste of her medicine." how they were going to do that was still up in the air, but now he had completely forgotten his flask. he couldn't stand to think that she was that good, even if holli probably had a point. there was always a way. that's why he decided to join the plight in camp half-blood. to put an end to her. "trust me, i'm going to be in until i can feel her beating heart in our hands." maybe revenge was a bad reason to stay, but it was enough to keep him around for a while.

[haildioson]

holli studied cosmo's face a moment, judging his expression and general demeanor. "is that your way of saying you didn't realize anything was off until the very end and you had no way of knowing the bitch had trapped me? because it seemed to me you two were very close." not that esmeralda seemed at all the type to tell her lover all her business, nor anyone for that matter, but it seemed important to at least investigate. get it all out on the table before they could sweep it clean and connect.

[beautyspawn]

"ese was just a nice fuck for me while i passed the time and then when i realized how dark she truly was, it was already too late." not that there was any way to prove it. unless holli could read his thoughts or look into the past. cosmo, for once, just stuck to the truth. he took another sip of his drink and then looked back over to the fire. "guess she tricks a lot of people until it's too late." he mentioned davis without dropping his name. hell, holli too in a way. all he knew was that he wanted to kill that gorgeous bitch.

[haildioson]

[ location: bonfire ] [ open: to anyone ]

holli is sitting at the flickering bonfire, nursing her flask and just sort of quietly dissociating. she's done a lot of crying and some ranting and raving in the past couple days, and is just really trying to stay on the spinning earth at this point. she liked being in the middle of everyone moving around. "i should've known this place was determined to really break me. what a stupid ass mistake." she shook her head, talking to herself more than anyone. except that she offered the flask. and it was in the spirit of true hospitality this time, as she had dropped all pretenses and chit chat for the first time in her life maybe.

[beautyspawn]

after seeing what she was partially forced to do and knowing how much of a bitch esmerelda could be, cosmo wondered if they had an unspoken bond now or what. he sat down right next to her. yet he didn't take the flask, waving his own up in the air. "you couldn't know that she was coming. she seemed normal and fun before everything." he also let out a deep sigh as he opened up his flask and took a sip, looking into the fire. where they supposed to talk about this now or just ignore it like everything else he did in his life?

[graveyardgason]

"Me? Hittin on you? Why the way ya been undressing me with those pretty eyes of yers? Like I'm some piece a meat..." He made a sad face, resting his forehead on his fist. While again flexing his arm for show. Not holding the facade long before that grizzly smile was back across his face. Taking the reply as a green light, he extended his hand to take Cosmo's. "Not just like everyone else? Oh puppet I have a feelin me name might sound sweeter comin off those lips. Go on...call me Alaric." Still holding to Cosmo's hand. If the guy didn't mind the tarnished palm or the gentle yet securing grip on him. The pleasure of flirting was something Alaric did not get to enjoy in his line of work. When it wasn't a job itself at least. This felt...refreshing. Cosmo bringing a new and inviting air into camp. "Care to join me for dinner?" Nodding over to the Mess Hall. "Know this high end restaurant not too far away. Practically can just walk in and get a table."

[beautyspawn]

"You're not just some piece of meat, by dear, but I will admit that you're easy on the eyes." Although Cosmo wasn't going to shy away from looking. His southern drawl was coming out more and more as he got comfortable around Alaric and felt like the man didn't mind. When he saw the hand, he extended his own. He shook it firmly, but also tenderly all at the same time, not minding the blood. "If you insist..." Cosmo leaned forward while shaking his hand and moved to whisper in his ear. "Alaric, the original name giving to the dashing warrior." Then he straightened his back again. Thinking about how he was going to fit in at camp after being rescued from the club was hard at first, but now he realized it was going to be quite easy. Cosmo nodded at the offer, smiling. "I'd be honored, darling. Nor every day someone invites me to a high end restaurant."

[sonssofhecate]

caden couldn't help but to grin as he looked at the other man's words. "i'm probably not the best person to ask, man. i can barely remember what i woke up and had." caden admitted with a laugh and a shake of his head. " did you try asking any of the cooks or staff? see if maybe any of them who were probably a bit more sober would know?"

[beautyspawn]

at least they seemed to have something in common. cosmo just nodded slightly as he looked over at the other. "then that makes the two of us. i only remember because i keep a mental tab." he shook his head when caden suggested something. "i haven't yet, but i'll do that later. now i'm much more interested in the gorgeous hunk in front of me that was kind enough to humor me."

[graveyardgason]

Feral beast that he was Alaric was still an Irish Gentleman at heart. So he took the gratitude with a smile and nod, "Anytime. Didn't have much of a guide when I came round, so only far I keep ya from gettin too lost." His accent seeping deeper into his words as he watched the other over give him the once over. Flexing a muscle when caught the gaze hit his arm. Only able to smirk at the confirmation of linage. "Aphrodite? I can see it." Maybe it was the aura of his mother that made Alaric comfortable. Enough so he couldn't help but offer more than he'd given most in an introduction. Like his full name. "Alaric Fitzgerald. But everyone calls me Fitz. Son of Karatos, God of Strength..." Starting to extend his hand but then retracting. "...I would offer me hand but can't say I'm presentable at the moment." Wiping blood on his pants not wanting to tarnish the other.

[beautyspawn]

Having a guide felt nice and Alaric was definitely easy on the eye. At least his time here at camp was already looking up, not that it was bad when he first got here. "How lucky am I ta' have a guide so charming as you? I feel like I should be thanking your parents or something." Was there a patron god of luck? Maybe Cosmo should reach out to them instead. His lips curved even further into a smile when Fitz said that he could see his lineage. "Easy there fella, I'll start thinking that you're hitting on me." Not that he would have been bad if the other was. In fact, he would actually encourage that type of behavior around him. "Don't know if I wanna be just like everyone else just yet, but can I just call you handsome for the time being?" That was still fitting. "Darling if I let a little blood or grease stop me from touching a hot man I'd still be a virgin."

[princessxmargo]

determined to find answers to his unsolved questions, henri decided to spend another day in the library. the blond was starting to get war flashbacks to his university days with the amount of research he needed to conduct. en route to the building, henry stumbled upon a fresh face he's never seen before. he blinked at the attractive man before taking a long glance at the aforementioned drink. "looks to be a cosmopolitan. probably spiked with something else. but, it suits you." henry smiled and extended a hand. "my name's henry, by the way. and you are?"

[beautyspawn]

from the countless of bars and clubs that he used to frequent back in his daily life, cosmo knew what a cosmo was. "hmm, you're right. maybe a godly nectar infused in what's normally a mundane drink. much like you. a handsome regular man that's clearly blessed by some god." he flirted casually as he placed his cup on a nearby table and extended his hand to shake henry's. "ironically you said part of my name. i'm cosmo. the pleasure of meeting you is all mine, henry." he could get used to this camp halfblood thing.

[graveyardgason]

Alaric per usual looked like he was coming from a fight. Spending as much time in the arena as the sons of Ares' that helped run it. It became his second home on the grounds even though his cabin was just as much a training course. But even with his own enhanced defenses the guy still had to eat. And usually when he was hungry he snapped an arm off of anyone that stopped him. Yet something about this smile (and that peek of skin under the crop top) sated him a bit. "Ay, mead I imagine." He assumed not so much hiding his shameless glance. "Speaking of somethin appearing absolutely sinful, who might ye be?"

[beautyspawn]

Do people normally look like this? Cosmo couldn't help but let his eyes wander when he saw the state in which Alaric was in. Considering that he wasn't the type to physically fight someone, it would be useful to have someone like him around. "Thank you! You're my guiding light." Mead. He was going to have to write that down later or find a way to commit it to his memory. Cosmo's tongue briefly licked his own lips before he finally moved his eyes up to look at the other man. "Cosmo Fenimore. I guess around these parts it's customary to say son of Aphrodite." Not that it was important. "And who might you be aside from a dashing devil?"

[beautyspawn]

location: on his way to the cabins from the mess hall

not knowing much of how anything worked around here, cosmo took a pause and placed his drink on a nearby bench. then he quickly checked himself out in his compact mirror and decided he looked good enough for a quick conversation. dressed in a cropped red playboy shirt and light cargo pants while his underwear poked out seemed appropriate. "excuse me," he reached out to the nearest person, smiling softly over at them. "do you know what this alcoholic beverage is called? they had it out in the mess hall and it's absolutely sinful." he meant that in a good way.
