sure, camp half-blood has been around for far longer than america !! but who doesn’t love an excuse to let loose ?? all of you have been working so hard this summer, you deserve a break. with the help of our head counselors, we’ve put together a little celebration for you all !! the harpies will be grilling up a mean americana barbeque all day and there will be a chariot race tournament !! additionally, the climbing wall will be spewing red, white, and blue lava all day. finally, we’ll end with a big bonfire tonight concluding with a fantastic fireworks display courtesy of the children of hephaestus and hecate !!
let’s all pretend like this winter storm hitting the northeastern us isn’t happening and instead transport ourselves to the warm summer months !! mr. d is out on super secret official business, so his children have taken this opportunity to provide plenty of booze for their fellow campers. on top of the more imaginative festivities above, the campers are also welcome to enjoy sandcastle building competitions on the beach, games of cornhole, and whatever other trashy american party games you can imagine !!
this event will tentatively run for a week, ending on january 28, but this is subject to change ( cut short or extend, depending on the group vibe ) . use #fleece.event2 for your starters, and be sure to reply to your fellow campers !!
alright, brats !! suit up and say a prayer to your parents — it’s time for the first game of capture the flag of the summer !! for those of you that are new to us, the rules are simple: steal your opponent’s flag and cross the river with it to win. nobody’s sitting out and there is to be no killing or maiming. other than that — no holds barred !! the winning team gets bragging rights and we’ve decided to add a new incentive this year !! the MVP will get one night’s immunity to pull whatever pranks their greasy little heart desires. don’t screw it up, kids !! oh, and watch out for the forest monsters. they probably won’t kill you, but . . . better to be on guard.
and the demigods set off to strategize and prepare, as the game began at dusk. it started off the typical capture the flag game. the resident monsters of the forest ( a drakon, a few giant eagles and a couple gryphons ) were ready and raring to go. some of the veteran campers noticed a new monster had been added into the mix, and she didn’t seem friendly. a chimera began terrorizing the demigods as they battled each other. despite this, team one pulled out with a victory, and chiron named adam flynn the mvp of the game !! a stellar night for the hephaestus cabin, as a new camper — a twelve-year-old girl named eloise — was claimed by the god of war himself after she sent a giant eagle flying halfway across the forest. several campers went to the infirmary with minor injuries, and one thing was clear: that chimera confirmed that there was no such thing as a dull, easy summer at camp half-blood.
alright guys !! with this, you can begin wrapping up bonfire night threads. feel free to incorporate the days leading up to capture the flag, the game itself, or the aftermath into new ones !! as always, only use #fleece.starter for open starters, and be sure to reply to plenty of others !!
disclaimer: the mvp and winning team were chosen separately by a number generator. teams were put together trying to make it as even a playing field as possible.
event #01 — start of summer festivities (june 1, 2018)
greetings, campers !! it’s time to commemorate the official start of our summer session with a feast !! . . . sorry, year-rounders — i got nothing for you. catch up with old friends, make some new ones and for the love of the gods, try to keep your “initiations” to a minimum this year. get yourself a plate, grab some grub and don’t forget to pay tribute to the gods before you eat !! yeah, i’m looking at you, thompson — the last thing we need is another curse around here. don’t worry, kiddos, we’ll spend the week singing songs around the campfire and everything else you never got to do at summer camp . . . it’s just all a lot more likely to kill you. and hey !! provided that none of you bite it before then, we’ll have our first game of capture the flag at the end of the week !! oh, and one more thing ?? welcome back !!
alrighty, everyone !! that being said, we are now open for interactions !! this event will run for about a week, tentatively ending on december 2nd at 8pm ( though this is very much subject to change ) . keep your eyes peeled for a li’l plot drop coming shortly !! i just wanted to get things started with a fun little feast and campfire party to get the creative juices flowing. be sure to tag all threads as #fleece.event1 and leave no starter ( starters tagged #fleece.starter please !! ) without notes !! if you haven’t already, be sure to message the main for a link to the ooc. happy roleplaying !!
