⟨ KIM MINJI. CIS FEMALE. SHE/HER. ⟩ though the mist might prevent some from seeing it, CELESTE YUN is actually a descendent of Z E U S. it’s still a question of whether or not the 24 year old ENGLISH LITERATURE AND CREATIVE WRITING MAJOR from LONDON, UK has taken after their godly parent completely, but the demigod is still known to be quite ATTENTIVE & ANXIOUS.

hi everyone ! it took me a bit to write this post since i wanted to get some ideas ironed out for where this leaves my muses. first off, i just wanted to say that the last several months at eonia have gotten me through some of the worst of this quarantine and for the most part, it was a really enjoyable experience. i’m really sad that my time here is over but i think it’s for the best. that being said, thank you to everyone who was kind to me and wrote with me. you’re all very talented writers and i’m so glad i got the chance to develop my muses and ideas here. apologies to any friends of mine who i left hanging here, hopefully some of the information below will be helpful regarding ic tie-ups:
celeste will be leaving eonia in character. after her successful quest wrapped up with jazmine, apollo offered to reward her by healing her wounds permanently. she decided it was best to reject this offer, choosing instead to seek information about a healer’s camp he created. upon returning to eonia she informed samson about this, which led to them leaving eonia together to venture there.
alex is around as an npc, still buzzing in the apollo house and creating chaos. she’s going to finish out her degree and during that time her vitakinesis will be revealed ! from there she takes on more responsibility and goes back to working as a healer-in-training, eventually becoming a full-timer at the eonia infirmary before eventually returning to camp whanau to work there.
when his mother falls ill, elijah leaves eonia to go back home. its a mixed bag of feelings considering their relationship but he can’t leave her side until she passes. eventually he slips into old habits with fighting, until he’s recruited to work as a combat trainer at camp halfblood.

in the end, celeste knows an ask of zeus doesn’t provide a choice –– but she’s just as stubborn as her brother, a trait they’ve both unfortunately inherited from their father. “ well, then you aren’t as brave as i remember. ” it’s not a fair thing to say, she knows that. choosing battles ( if any ) with zeus was an important thing to remember. izak being sent on a quest was hardly a reason to defy their father and rock the boat, but her emotions get the best of her. “ it’s not impossible. it’s just not easy. ” she gives him a pointed frown. after all, she had gone against zeus’ word –– with terrible consequences. celeste huffs, settling her chin in her hands.“ and if you were going to leave, you could’ve written more. there’s just gabe and i here, you know. ”

jazmine has spent much of her adulthood not alerting people of her whereabouts, but with the reconnecting of her friendship with celeste, and the ugly encounters she’s experienced due to her lack of communication in the past, she feels that it would be wrong of her to leave her in the dark. “ hey, ” she says as celeste approaches the point she had told her to meet her at. she heads straight to the point. “ i’m leaving – probably for a couple of weeks. ” it’s clear she’s had a lot on her mind. “ they told me a prophecy about pelion. i screwed up, and i have to fix it. ” / @euceleste
receiving a message from jazmine to meet up had been unexpected, but she knew there was a reason. jaz wasn’t the type to call upon her on a whim, and so celeste shows up dutifully like always, not letting the worry show in her features when she finally approaches. she’s not expecting any beating around the bush –– jazmine’s never been the type for that, neither of them were, and it’s why celeste trusts her more than anyone. what she’s not expecting is jazmine to mention pelion. in fact, she was hoping they’d never have to mention it again.
“ screwed up how ? ” her shock stays well concealed –– a skill she’s learned to master over time, but inside they both know that returning to mount pelion is going to unearth everything. “ if you’re going back there then i’m going with you. ” for the last few months she’d been silently terrified to leave eonia and its safety, but she hadn’t considered leaving for something of this nature. her quest days were meant to be well behind her, but there’s no hesitation here. unfinished business wasn’t something either of them could cope with, but even now, she’s not fully processed exactly what she’s agreeing to. “ you’re not going to mount pelion alone. ”

“ high school. their grown asses need a job. ” it was a funny statement for her to make when one of her current sources of income involved meddling in the affairs of others, but she’s always been particularly sensitive with her personal affairs. this is especially relevant when it comes to her shared trauma with her only friends at the time. she quirks a smile at their mutual teasing, but she can’t shake the sour feeling in her chest that comes with the thought that adelphie will never be able to joke with them like this about the situation. feelings of shame start to creep up on her. “ i’m… ” sorry could’ve been the next appropriate word. “ i should have visited you. when you got discharged. ” she’d stayed with celeste for a long while when she’d been recovering, even at certain moments when the healers had begged her to just go back to the hecate house, but at a certain point she just couldn’t stand to see celeste in that condition.
“ small world, ours is. i suppose people can’t help but be in everyone else’s affairs. ” since she started at eonia, she’d found she’d grown guilty of it herself. it was hard sometimes when there was nothing else to do and so many people with stories, not to eavesdrop here and there when something particularly interesting came up. the conversation turns somber again and even if jazmine doesn’t actually utter an apology, it’s implied. not that celeste thinks she needs to apologize, anyhow –- all’s been forgiven for a long time now. “ you probably should’ve, yeah. ” she shrugs, tone clear of any resentment. “ but we were all fucked up then. i don’t think they have a handbook on how to react to something like that, so... what’s done is done, yeah ? we shouldn’t have drifted apart, but... i think we needed to. it was too hard to think about that all the time. ”
“i bet you’ve got big plans, tonight.” he hates it as soon as it comes out of his mouth. he’d been aiming for casual, completely avoiding protective brother territory. instead, he’d over-corrected and landed somewhere in i-won’t-wait-up territory which, he thinks, worse. so, so much worse. he can’t linger in that, though, or he’ll definitely die. maybe because she might kill him. “dinner plans,” he adds, albeit uncomfortably. “might you… have those?” // @euceleste
-
“ i ... might have those, yes. ” a laugh escapes her and she quirks a brow, pausing to get a read on gabe. she hadn’t anticipated this conversation. from izak, maybe, but he’d been convinced to take samson’s shift as part of repayment of his sins ( the sins being listening to zeus in any capacity ). “ we’re going to dinner then we’ll probably come back here, try our hand at some valentine’s day dessert recipe. if it works out, i’m sure we’ll have leftovers... ” she trails off, eyes narrowing in suspicion. “ why ? has iker gone around discussing ridiculous things like my virtue again ? because i did threaten to put him in the electric chair for that... wait, do you have a date today? is that why you’re asking ? ”

VED: hey, celeste?
VED: it's me, ved.
VED: i sent you...something. did you get it?
VED: i'm not really good with these things, but i saw them on my way home and thought of you.
CELESTE: oh hey, ved!
CELESTE: i did just now, actually.
CELESTE: they're really pretty! and that was really nice of you.
CELESTE: but uh! it's valentine's day! so... i should probably ask if that's a romantic gesture or am i reading that wrong... haha!
CELESTE: if i am just ignore that thanks :D

“ oh, well, then, neither do i. ” there is more truth to that confession than meets the eye. ved hasn’t taken anything recreationally. his cluttered mind, his easily drifting attention, all that and more prevent him from needing anything of the sort. even when mellowed down, lacking the adrenaline to do anything within a set timeframe, he still can’t stay in one place. perhaps in a former life ved was a rabbit, always moving, always hectic as the cartoonish stereotype goes. or perhaps even worse, crackling electricity, untamed, wild, everywhere it can reach, nowhere it can stay still. a wide grin returns to his face, nodding as celeste thanks him for merely speaking the truth, his truth, their truth. she was definitely, as much as he can tell, quite the beauty.
when she changes the subject, he follows. down into the rabbit hole. not as curious alice but as the late, stressed white rabbit, with the woman who has caught his eye the very time the creature chases, almost obsessively. for ved, however, he is yet to reach that point. give it some time. “ tell who? ” the mere mention of the pronoun her confuses ved. all his attention, his brain power, has been focused on the woman before her. everything else, including logic and rational thinking outside of logic, if there were even such things, were thrown out the store windows. did she mean a girlfriend? her mother? his mother? his ex? ved gulps at that last part. why would she –– and then he remembers, as if his mind had just clocked in to work. “ it’s celeste, right? i’m sorry. i’m an idiot. i’m ved, ” he offers an unsolicited hand, conveniently forgetting she had called him by his name much earlier.
-
there were far too many variables in this situation that celeste had debated bringing up. for starters, ved was maiken’s ex, and even having this interaction felt strange. as far as celeste knew they were on fine terms, but from what she’d gathered from her short experience at college thus far was there was a code of sorts, an unspoken rule not to entertain something like this let alone anything more. then, of course, there was the obvious. she was, by all means, spoken for, and quite frankly while she appreciated a compliment as much as anyone else, she wasn’t quite sure where the line was.
it was only a compliment, right ? there was no need for her to divulge her personal details and information over something like that. it wasn’t a proposal. “ marsha. ” she clarifies, surprised at how sure her voice sounds when she speaks. “ celeste, yeah. hi ved. ” as flustered as she is inside, she reaches out to shake his hand without thinking. and she regrets it the moment she does. her frazzled state of mind and the uncertainty in her means her touch is nothing short of electric, and she curses the moment she feels herself shock ved. “ ah, fuck. sorry, i should’ve warned you that that happens. ” she snaps back and rubs her temples, forcing herself to wind down. she did not need to be zapping another man’s shirt off in re-reads, especially not this one’s.

izak leaving campus had stung like betrayal –– had it not only been months before that he’d told her he wouldn’t go ? and just like that he was gone, off to do zeus’ bidding as always, something she knew she couldn’t stay mad about considering she’d fallen victim to it most of her life herself. she was angry right now, though, and it was all over her face. “ well, you could’ve tried. ” eyebrows pulling into a tight frown, she stares at him hard. “ he threw me off a mountain, for fuck’s sake. you could’ve at least tried to appear like you weren’t ready to jump to attention like a happy soldier. ”
⍢
a stolen gaze reveals to ved that this woman is definitely familiar and definitely cute. he doesn’t realize that the color on her cheeks was caused by his stupidity nor that his lips once again curl into a boyish smile. the feeling was not unlike being back in high school, when he first caught a glimpse of what he once perceived an angel, a queen that his youthful folly once swore himself to, to protect and fawn over, regardless of whether she knew he existed or not. the more times change, it seems, the more some people stay the same. when she references his level of sobriety, however, his brain immediately scrambles to make sure that she doesn’t think he isn’t perceiving her clearly. because he does. oh, boy, he does. “ oh, i’m not… i don’t… well, that depends… do you? ”
a moment of pause reveals to ved that he isn’t handling this encounter well. he hasn’t had any practice socializing outside of his routine encounters with siblings, classmates, and the occasional adventurous freshmen, not to mention his own self-esteem has taken a dive ever since his break-up with maiken. it’s been a while since anyone else caught ved’s eye, though he starts to wish he’s just dreaming this painfully awkward conversation and that it’s all just the aftermath of having spent yesterday getting tased by another gAmEr. “ I’m sorry… ” he shakes his head, the words, honest and true, manage to slip out of his lips before his brain could rein them in. “ this must be really weird for you. I swear, I’m not a creep. I’m just really terrible when it comes to meeting… ” and then his dark brown eyes betray him, finding their way upon hers. “ …beautiful women. ”
-
by now she feels she should be able to decipher simple social cues, but there’s nothing simple about this interaction. she knows she missed out on a lot growing up, but surely this was odd even considering that, was it not ? regardless, the flush of her neck and cheeks fades but doesn’t fully disappear, off-kilter while she tries to anticipate the direction this conversation is going to take. so far, she’s been wrong just about every time, ved saying something even more unpredictable every time. she shakes her head quickly at his question –– at least that wasn’t shocking. after all, a large chunk of the student population tended to indulge. “ no, at least not recreationally. ” she’d felt the effects plenty, but it wasn’t something she was taking to party.
finally his demeanor slips into something celeste can recognize, and the tension between her shoulders starts to dissolve. until he speaks and she’s completely beet red, caught off-guard with wild, round eyes. “ oh, ” she blinks, “ thanks. ” dumbfounded, celeste hastily distracts herself by putting the vial back into her back, shrugging and waving it off in an attempt to turn the conversation into something casual. “ i mean it’s... it’s not a big deal. it’s only a textbook, you know, and an outdated one at that. i don’t think any course even uses it, anymore... so, you know what. here. ” it was only a compliment after all, but celeste feels eager to derail it if only to save herself the embarrassment, so she pulls the rest of ved’s cash from the till and hands it back to him. “ i won’t tell her if you won’t. ”
