I read somewhere here that every Apollokid has to help in the Infirmary regardless of whether or not they have healing or medicinal powers. I second that, even if it is just changing the bedsheets or stock taking.
The Infirmary is a place of healing. So you'll always find Apollo campers healing through the powers of music and sometimes, they put on a talent show, for the younger kids.
Little kids who end up in the Infirmary all get lollipops and sweeties. Their cabin counsellors don't appreciate it bc they're the ones who have to put the lil ones to bed.
There's a hidden meth lab under Apollo House/Cabin where they make healing crystals. One of them jokingly called it a meth lab one time and it stuck. The Hermes cabin suspect Apollokids have something there, but its charmed so only someone descended directly from Apollo can find it/enter, so the Hermes kids are left in the dark, with nothing to prove it. It's a secret that only Apollospawns (Asclepius kids included) keep to themselves.
Apollokids get rejuvenated when the sun's out. They take "suns out, guns out" to a literal level (plasmakinesis in the forms of photon blasts)
Captain Marvel posters on the walls of their Cabin, with a special emphasis on the photo blast energy.
They have a wall in the cabin each dedicated to a different type of artist (murals etc painted, sketched, drawn, charcoaled etc on the walls):
Doctors, nurses, healers
Musicians, composers, choreographers, directors, dancers,
Poets, writers, literary artists
Archers
Nico is loved by everyone in Apollo House, incl the newbies. He makes a conscious effort to not appear scary or jumpscare any Apollokid. Partially because their life is terrifying enough without additional scares, partially cause an Angry Will scares the crap out of Nico too.
Will is generally a sunshiny dude. To piss him off you gotta be dumb as fuck. All the Apollokids learn pretty quickly that if you fall sick, Will won't stop hovering. And there's no point in trying to hide it, Will will find out. THEN he won't stop hovering.
Nico is their grumpy pet cat who will let them pet him but will hiss at anyone else. Tried and tested.
Talk cap about the Apollokids, whoever it may be. Nico will be at your throat faster than any of the Apollokids. He's pretty good at threatening people (who threaten his family)
Apollo Cabin have a whole wall with the faces of siblings they lost in the Battles/War. Will, Kayla, Austin and sometimes Nico recall how their siblings were all killed by the stupidities of Luke Castellan and Silena Beauregard. Will, Kayla and Austin could never forgive them for all of this.
The trio never talks about The Wars. About their personal losses. About Michael, Lee and the rest. They tell about the fun things they used to do, about the fun songs and musicals his siblings would perform, but the only people who know more than the sunshine and rainbows he shows are those who wake up to one of his nightmares. Usually the adult lot.
They don't talk much about how it was before The Wars.
Nico is the same way about Bianca's death.
It took Will a very long time to get over his initial anger at Hermes and Aphrodite cabins. (he's still not over it).It's more of a reflexive, subconscious reaction. He doesn't mean to come across as untrusting in this sense, but he remembers painfully how it was the last time his siblings' safety was entrusted to a son of Hermes or daughter of Aphrodite who he was on good terms with.
He left that morning with a cabin full of siblings and returned with only 1 brother and 1 sister. Call him paranoid, he's not about to let that happen again.
After Battle of Manhattan it became painfully obvious that the Apollo cabin's fatal flaw was holding grudges.
Will is a pretty muscular doctor. He sees ANYONE picking on any of his little siblings, he will instantly activate Scary Big Brother Mode.
You do NOT want to be on the receiving end of Scary Big Brother Mode.
Percy, Nico & Will are besties. They're a package deal. If you're an Apollokid, you get all 3 for the price of 1.
It's great fun being an Apollokid. Right up until some asshole makes an offhand comment about how you must be a shit healer if you couldn't even tell that plant was poisonous until it poisoned you and you ended up in the Infirmary, where Percy needed to extract the fast reaching poison before it killed your dumb ass. And Nico overhears this and decided to 'have a chat' with three idiots who are lying down on hospital beds making fun of you. Then Will comes along and asks if there's a problem. To which the 2 cowards lite and say no. Then Dr Jackson rolls along all too happy to point out that they're lying. It almost escalates. Then in the end, Will stabs then with a painkiller for the broken leg/dislocated shoulders, pops it back into place, Nico cracks the bone back and Percy takes a blood sample haemokinetically.
"You're good to go." Will's smile is ice cold as he stares at the 2 idiots, still whining in o ain from the sudden unexpected treatment the Trio just gave them. "Get the fuck out of my Infirmary."
Percy's smile lookslike a shark waiting to pounce on its preyand Nico looks like a downright serial killer on a spree. "Be careful out there".
Of course you were out cold, so you had no idea that this happened literally 10 feet away from you.
