'Sephone's Son

"Me miserable! Which way shall I fly Infinite wrath and infinite despair? Which way I fly is hell; myself am hell; And in the lowest deep a lower deep, Still threat'ning to devour me, opens wide, To which the hell I suffer seems a heaven."

[warloving-ken-doll]

Nnnghh...

[warloving-ken-doll]

Correction: I’m the most charming period.

Great minds think alike, then. Hey, hey, hey. I have my coherency. I have it fully. I’m just choosing to let it not control me. Live wild and free, right? 

Another? Well that’s not right, I specifically called dibs on the entire world. 

[springtimes-scion]

Well that's a matter of opinion. 

It must be a fabulous world of delusion up in that pretty head of yours. A very rich fantasy life. 

Well apparently you didn't get the memo out enough. 

[claire-snyder]

I'm ridiculous.

[claire-snyder]

I’m very sure you are, but you know how it is. I can’t just pass out treats to anybody. Even if they’re super generous with their compliments.

Why, thank you. I try my hardest to be as much. It’s very easy to get lost in the collective, you know? And I like to do my best to extend some friendship in the mix. I’m glad you think highly of our cabin already. And I’d love to visit you anyhow. I haven’t heard too many people around here who read comics, actually. That’s pretty neat! I don’t know many of them myself, but I can recognize the names. Do you have a favorite series?

[springtimes-scion]

Never fear, my compliments are pure of intent. I'm more than happy to pay for any confections I may eat. 

How could I not think highly of your cabin when you've been my introduction to it?!

OH man. There are so many good ones. I really couldn't narrow it down. I love the X-Men... Gambit is my favorite. 

But I'm also a big fan of Spiderman. It's hard to choose though. 

[warloving-ken-doll]

Nnnghh...

[warloving-ken-doll]

Yeah, well… nobody worth listening to’s asking anyways. Hmph, trite and overdone’s my specialty. Doesn’t hurt to never stay sober either. 

… Welp, nope, tried but failed. Still don’t really care enough to be grateful to you disrupting my nap, Asshole Webb. ‘Profoundly Hung Over’ sounds good, but Kendall works too. I prefer ‘master overlord’ the most though. 

[springtimes-scion]

Oh you're just the most charming of drunks aren't you?

Sadly that isn't the first time someone's called me Asshole Webb... but someone it feels less effective coming from someone barely maintaining coherency. 

Kendall works... i'm not really in the market for another overlord. 

[warloving-ken-doll]

Nnnghh...

[warloving-ken-doll]

Ugh… does it look like I need water?

The answer to that’s ‘no’, just beeteedubs. Only one true cure for a hangover, after all.

… Who the hell are you? 

[springtimes-scion]

Honestly? Yes... yes it does. But I see you're opting for the classic "hair of the dog" approach. A bit trite and overdone but, whatever works for you. 

Asher... Asher Webb. 

And you? Aside from profoundly hung over

[claire-snyder]

I'm ridiculous.

[claire-snyder]

If you’re really nice about it, I miiiight just have to throw in an extra treat or two on me.

As long as you make sure that our door is always open, that’s good enough for me. It doesn’t even have to be night, you know!

[springtimes-scion]

I'm a pretty nice dude, some of the time! Especially to a beautiful woman who makes sweets. 

You're very kind. Should I decide to come out of my self-imposed exile I promise yours will be the first cabin I visit. I'd invite you to mine but I'm really just a guest there myself, and my room is just filled with books... and an embarrassing number of comics. 

[warloving-ken-doll]

Nnnghh...

I don’t wanna… hrmph… It was Drake, I swear… 

[springtimes-scion]

Well... that looks fun. 

Need some water?

[springtimes-scion]

Well...

[elena-georgescu-deactivated2014]

I’m sorry, today is an off day for me, I’m not coming up with my best material. I don’t either, but I’m feeling very hopeful towards you.

[springtimes-scion]

I'll forgive you, this once, because you're having an off day.

Well that's kind of you. I"m Asher... 

[springtimes-scion]

Well...

[elena-georgescu-deactivated2014]

You’re still going to let me have the candy after I tried to con it out if you? -shrugs happily takes some of the candy out of the bag- You and I will get along just fine.

[springtimes-scion]

Maybe I'm just feeling sorry for you because of what a pitiful attempt at a con that was. I mean really, come now, that was weak.

I don't get on with most people, but it's nice that you're optimistic. 

[springtimes-scion]

Well...

[elena-georgescu-deactivated2014]

You’re new? Huh….have you paid your elder camp fees? We except sour candy or drachmas.

[springtimes-scion]

Not new new... but new. Not new enough where I don't know a shakedown when it's happening. 

But... I guess in the spirit of it being a pretty decent day... you can have some sour candy. 

[springtimes-scion]

Well...

Walks out of The Factory with a bag of sour candy in his hand "For the first day out of the Cabin it hasn't been too horribly terrible."

[bloodyjustice-blog]

Huh. I still dont get the point of celebrating such pointless thing as love.

[bloodyjustice-blog]

Even the things we hide from ourselves, dear.

You shouldnt. And if I may, dont tell the ones you think you trust. Ever.

That is smart. I’ll keep my eye on you. Justice is also on my realm. If I wanted to know what you did I could only move a few sticks. You see, justice is blind but it is not stupid. Yet I think I would already know if I had to. I avoid messing with the other god’s breed.

[springtimes-scion]

I like you, Lady Nemesis. You don't sugar coat things. 

How reassuring to know that a goddess has her eye on me. At least one of you does. Olympus knows it's not my mother. 

[claire-snyder]

I'm ridiculous.

[claire-snyder]

Ah, yes. It’ll be an event worth watching! Although I’m not sure that you’ll be able to see much of it.

Well, if you’re ever bored and wandering around while everyone else is asleep, feel free to hit me up! Or anyone else in our cabin, really. If I’m not awake, someone else will be.

[springtimes-scion]

If it gets me a sugary sweet confection I'm sure it'll be well worth it, Ms. Snyder. 

I'll be sure to keep that in mind. But even when I am awake and wandering around in the middle of the night I tend to keep to myself. But maybe I'll knock on your door one of these days. 

[springtimes-scion]

This... might have been a mistake...

[daughterof-eros-deactivated2016]

-does the arm thing- My ice cream will be the most delicious ice cream known to man or god. Yours will be coconut.

[springtimes-scion]

Hey now. I'm being a gentleman and offering you my arm and talking to you like a real person and you're being a meanie and insulting my ice cream choices. Not very nice. 

Last time I ever leave the Cabin

[bloodyjustice-blog]

Huh. I still dont get the point of celebrating such pointless thing as love.

[bloodyjustice-blog]

You’re bloody welcome.

Hmm someone is hiding a secret. If I were you I’d keep it to myself only. The walls have ears around here. There are kids that talk to the ghosts we cant see. There are even the ones who talk to the corpses.

I have seen mortals causing genocide with less than a knife, my kid. Although I highly doubt you would kill your family.

[springtimes-scion]

Aren't we all hiding something?

Then those people can ask the ghosts of my past for the whole story. I'll only ever admit to the censored version. 

I'll be sure to keep my gardening skills on the right side of the law then and no... not directly at least. 

[claire-snyder]

I'm ridiculous.

[claire-snyder]

You’ve been missing out on some stellar sweets, then. You should definitely stop by the next chance that you get!

Well, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Asher. I’m Claire Snyder and it’s a wonder we haven’t met yet with your sleeping habits. Even our worst are usually knocked out by dawn.

[springtimes-scion]

I definitely will. Maybe tomorrow. I can watch the great Switching of the Sugars. 

Pleasure's all mine, Claire. I've always been a nightowl, and one that tends to keep to himself so... I've not met most of the campers here. 

[springtimes-scion]

This... might have been a mistake...

[danihawthorne]

Child of Hypnos, actually. So he tends to sleep a lot because of it.

Sounds good. Thanks, by the way.

[springtimes-scion]

That makes sense. Sleep seems to be something they're all really good at. 

I'm a little jealous about that. 

-gestures around his book-covered and slightly messy room- Sorry it's uh... it's not that clean. But I was thinking you'd maybe like The Night Circus? Good story, cute love story, and it's really well written. 

[logan-shelton]

Of course I do!

[springtimes-scion]

If you're so sure.
