Arianna Smith

18 year old daughter of Hades from Chicago. Don't worry, I'm pretty happy-go-lucky most of the time. Just don't wake me up before noon unless you want a skeleton on your tail...

“What’s the point of training if we never DO anything? Huh? Sure we attract monsters, but the camp’s trained us well. We’re both powerful. It would just be a couple hours, I can even shadow-travel us there! Come on, I’m a city girl, I can’t be cooped up like this for the rest of eternity!

[ninarhodes-blog-blog]

“Doesn’t mean we should go looking for monsters. The training’s for when we have to go out. For a quest, or to protect the camp. You’ll have to ask Chiron.”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

“So, you’re suggesting we go on a quest...”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

“Hey, you want to sneak out of camp for a night out? I’m starting to get cabin fever over here.”

[ninarhodes-blog-blog]

“We can’t. No one can, there’s so many monsters out there. And you and me will just be like a beacon for them. You know that.”

R- really? You don’t have to…

[ninarhodes-blog-blog]

“Yeah, of course. I know, but it’s no problem. Not like I have any siblings to share it with.”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

“Wow. Ok you’re officially my favorite cousin ever.”

[deceitfuldemigod-deactivated201]

“Oh I do so love laundry day. Thanks for the bra in my face.”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

“I mean, it is your bra.”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

“Hey, you want to sneak out of camp for a night out? I’m starting to get cabin fever over here.”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

“I know, but, well, let’s just say I haven’t had the easiest life. The home I had was one of the only things that kept me grounded. Greg and me are like family, I couldn’t just never see him again. It’s just hard, you know? Your whole life changing in the blink of an eye.”

[lustxverlove-blog]

“I know more about that than you’d think, love. Got kicked out at fourteen, I’ve got my fair share of life changin’ stories. I get it, though. It’s gonna be hard and all that. I reckon if you wanna just be a summer camper, you’d better learn how to defend yourself well. You’ve gotta better chance of leavin’ then.”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

“Well, thanks for the advice. I’ll just cash in the ‘hey, I defended myself with no training in Chicago for years alone’ card and hopefully they’ll let me go home.” Arianna gave a small, bitter laugh and sighed. “Any pointers for when I talk to Chiron?”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

“I know what you mean. Same thing happens to me as a Hades kid, but Greg can’t send me much. Doesn’t have much money for stuff like this.”

[ninarhodes-blog-blog]

“Really? Well, I’ll get tia to send me more then and we can share. She likes baking and making stuff. I think she always wished I had more friends so she could. Or kids of her own. But yeah.”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

R- really? You don’t have to...

[chicago-born-and-raised]

“They’re great! Thanks so much for sharing them with me!”

[ninarhodes-blog-blog]

“No problem. I love chocolate and since I can’t go see my aunt much, because of all the monsters outside camp and being a Zeus kid attracting all of the monsters to me, she sends me things.”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

“I know what you mean. Same thing happens to me as a Hades kid, but Greg can’t send me much. Doesn’t have much money for stuff like this.”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

“Glad to hear that. I don’t know about living here though, I haven’t decided if I’m going to be a summer-only camper or not yet. I kind of left home in a rush, see, I had a job and friends back at home. I don’t know if I’m willing to give that up.”

[mellxfluent-blog]

“Lucky you. Just keep in mind that if you go back, especially because you’re a kid fo the big three, you’re puttin’ everyone in danger. Yeah.”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

“I know, but, well, let’s just say I haven’t had the easiest life. The home I had was one of the only things that kept me grounded. Greg and me are like family, I couldn’t just never see him again. It’s just hard, you know? Your whole life changing in the blink of an eye.”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

“The look on your face…”

[adxrxtixn-blog-blog]

“Rude as fuck, yo.”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

“C’est la vie, as they say. You have to admit, it IS a little funny.”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

Best. Cousin. Ever.

[ninarhodes-blog-blog]

You’re easy to please. So, what do you think?

[chicago-born-and-raised]

“They’re great! Thanks so much for sharing them with me!”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

“Still cute. I’ve only been here a couple weeks, still getting used to things. It’s so different here, with all these people. At home it’s only me and Greg. I don’t think I’m ever going to be able to find my way around this place, to be honest.”

[lustxverlove-blog]

“Cute isn’t really what I’m goin’ for here, but thanks. You’re not so bad yourself, love. You get used to all the people. I was alone for a while, but it’s decent here. Good place to live. You’ll remember where you need to go after long. It took me a few weeks.”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

“Glad to hear that. I don’t know about living here though, I haven’t decided if I’m going to be a summer-only camper or not yet. I kind of left home in a rush, see, I had a job and friends back at home. I don’t know if I’m willing to give that up.”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

Brownies?! Oh my gods I haven’t had those since before I came to camp. How’d you smuggle something chocolate into camp?

[ninarhodes-blog-blog]

“My aunt sent them. Here, have some, they’re really good. And it’s not like I can just store them away forever either, they’ll go stale. So, I figure, share some with my cousin.”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

Best. Cousin. Ever.

[chicago-born-and-raised]

Arianna laughed at that. “Too bad, you’re kinda cute. So, how new are you to camp exactly? I haven’t seen you around.”

[lustxverlove-blog]

“Yeah, I’m also kinda gay.” He chuckled softly, putting his paperwork away. “I’ve been here about two years. How long have you been here?”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

“Still cute. I’ve only been here a couple weeks, still getting used to things. It’s so different here, with all these people. At home it’s only me and Greg. I don’t think I’m ever going to be able to find my way around this place, to be honest.”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

“I’ve been here a few days, actually. You’ll love the people here, want me to introduce you to my friends?

[jamison-riley-deactivated201508]

“That’s certainly reassuring.” Hopefully that meant some peace and quiet for the duration of her stay “No, thank you. I’m sure I’ll run into them soon enough”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

“All right. I guess I’ll see you around then?”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

Arianna extended her hand, a smirk on her face. “Arianna Smith. Daughter of Hades. Don’t worry, I won’t drag you to any graveyards.” She laughed and shrugged slightly. “And you are?”

[lustxverlove-blog]

He took her hand and shook it, “No worries, I’m not spooked easy either way. Gabe Lewis. Son of Aphrodite. An’ don’t worry. I’m not gonna hit on you every chance I get.”

[chicago-born-and-raised]

Arianna laughed at that. “Too bad, you’re kinda cute. So, how new are you to camp exactly? I haven’t seen you around.”
