“ do you ever get tired of it always being summer all the time? i mean—- ” mikey lets out a long sigh, legs crossed as he sits on the dock, frost spiraling out in faint patterns against wood panels beneath his fingertips. “ —like— don’t you ever get bored with it? ”
“no. it reminds me of home.” darcy said, rising up from the water and onto the dock. she shook her wet hair in his direction and fell back onto the wooden slats. “back in queensland it was cold once in a blue moon. now that i’ve seen winter in manhattan i don’t mind it at all.”
“You’re out past curfew,” Austin noted, pointedly looking at his watch–though it absolutely did not tell time, “better get back to your cabin before the harpies come for ya.”
“By the way? Your stealth skills could use some work.”
“Do you really care?” Darcy teased, releasing a breath that had been firmly stuck in her heart. Night air blew gently, just barely rustling the leaves in the trees above her and faintly the chimes on the porch of the big house. “The harpies can deal with it. I needed some fresh air. I’m suffocating in there lately.”
he had dirt on his face and his fists where covered in red
from pounding against a previous camper .
but luka was far from done ,
especially when the person in front of him
was stepping up to the plate .
luka loved it when he could practice his
HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT .
“ come on then , show me what you got !! ”
darcy’s lithe arms stretched above her head with a cool ease, brunette ponytail swaying in the breeze as she stepped forward. “you’re awfully cocky today.” she laughed. her back foot planed itself, fists raised on the defensive, forearms still sporting welts from her archery training that morning. “who stroked your ego today?”
WHOEVER SAID THAT YOU COULDN’T get into a fight with a water nymph was lying. aelia made a ( very ) rude gesture to the water nymph glaring at her from under the water and turned her back to the sea. the ocean was very temperamental, and apparently so were the nymphs. the daughter of athena wasn’t even interested in swimming, she had been interesting in relaxing — but the nymphs still weren’t over the time she had humiliated them during capture the flag. “the nymphs are ridiculous, i’m telling you.” she sighed exasperatedly to another camper. “they get worse every year.”
“and who told you to fight the nymph? just let them win next time, sign a peace treat or something.” darcy said, leafing through the heavy leather-bound spell book on her lap. “i swear if i have to read another goddamn latin chant because i got the pronunciation wrong i’m going to tear out my own eyes. you’d think the ancient latins or whatever would have accounted for accents.” darcy groaned and slammed the book shut. “you think my mum heard that? whatever she hates me already anyways.”
darcy banks, daughter of hecate 18, she/her. played by mint (16) she/her.
okay so this lil cutie patootie is australian, from a town in queensland called miles.
basically until darcy was abt 13 she grew up in a survivalist compound with her family and extended family
needless to say, she wasn’t a fan
so she ran away because she was stubborn and didn't want to be in the compound for the rest of her life only to find that whoopsie daisy, monsters wanna kill yo ass, you done fucked up
unbeknownst to her, her parents had been hiding her so many years so that she wouldn’t get fuckin KILLED!
but little darcy, not about to put her survivalist knowledge to waste kicks some major ass and keeps on keeping on
she lived on the streets for a year. going in between hotel rooms, lying about her age to work odd jobs
and u know runnin from monsters and shit.
one night she gets sent a dream thats like “u dumb bitch go to camp half blood” probably from her mom tbh
so she saves up enough money to fly to america and hitchhikes her way to the camp
and up shows scrawny lil 14 year old darcy banks confused as hell and covered in dirt and scratches, until hecate claims her and someone finally sits her down and explains everything.
so that’s basically how she got to camp half blood. she’s been there for four years now and is a year round camper.
you know cause she’s australian, and can’t really go back home lmao
as far as her personality she’s charismatic, tough as nails and a natural born leader. looking nice is a foreign concept to her and she’s kind of an idiot some times, socially at least. gets knocked on her ass a lot but always gets back up. but also highkey bossy and likes things done her way, thinks she knows best and takes blame for a lot she shouldn't because she's hard on herself.
