“ every year i have to throw the best part of my grilled cheese into the fire --- y’know,  the nice golden part ? --- and my heart just cries.  i hope hestia likes the buttery side as much as the rest of us. ”

“Don’t you just love being back at camp?” Angela said, excited. They were far enough from the music to be able to hear each other without having to shout, but still being able to listen to the party that was going on a few steps from where they were standing. “I mean, I guess that if you are in camp during the whole year it isn’t a big deal, but It should be fun having all the campers back, plus the fun activities and...the parties.” 

The alcohol she had been drinking since the bonfire party started had finally reached her brain, and she had to put her hand on the other person’s shoulder to not fall. “Sorry, do you want some? It’s really soft, i’m just really lightweight with this kind of things, you know.”

      whispers trail behind like a long forgotten scent; permeating the air with mystery and longing. shadows dance beneath their feet, pulling and enticing all who surround them. braided tresses pulled away from her face, rings reflecting the light of the fire before her. obsidian eyes caress and unfurl the events around her, watching the other bodies around her carefully; observant and aware. though she appears as an enigma, a wallflower skirting around the edges of CHAOS, she’s fully immersed and intrigued in her fellow campers. onyx lacquered fingers curl around the neck of the bottle, a rhythm gently tapped against its glass. it isn’t until the person situates themselves next to her that she truly appears bothered.   ❛   what?  ❜

plot drop — capture the flag (june 8, 2018)

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.

the campers were split up into two teams:

team one:  zeus, poseidon, apollo, aphrodite, hephaestus, hebe, tyche, iris, nemesis team two:  demeter, ares, athena, hermes, dionysus, hades, nike, hypnos, hecate

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.

 “ is it mean to say the beginning of summer isn’t my favorite ? ”   voice is barely audible over the usual chatter of camp and charlotte intends on keeping it that way.   “ i mean,  it’s great to have everyone back ! ”   she adds in her own defense,  eyes widening in gemma’s direction,  partially out of fear of offending the other.   “ it’s just . . . it’d be nice if they came in slowly.  all at once is just . . . too much. ”     /     @gcmmxmorxlcs !

 she’s managed to squeeze out of the bonfire and past the tables into somewhere with a bit more air ;  the start of summer is always too crowded and noisy and just a tad bit claustrophobic for charlotte’s tastes.  eyes locate teddy and she gravitates towards him,  partially to put more distance between her and the crowd.  “ are you glad to be back ? ”   comes a greeting with a smile that’s far too shy for someone she considers a good friend.   (  she might not be happy with camp’s sudden bursting population after having a quiet winter and spring and camp all to herself,  but she’s happy to see teddy,  at least.  )   “ it’s nice to have you back.  there’s way too much cereal here,  just waiting for you, ”   she adds sarcastically.     /     @teddyforrester !

“Listen,” Harlow began as she sat down on the grass beside Gemma, crossing her legs undermeath herself as she took a sip from her red cup. “I’m not saying the sun would make a bad boyfriend; I’m just saying that the moon would make a better girlfriend. Like, okay, I shouldn’t ever say that in front of Apollo, but still... The sun’s hot, and helps us live, and what not, but... Doesn’t he kind of give you douchebag vibes?”

“so,” harlow began speaking as she plopped herself down on the grass beside tamsyn and handed her a red cup she had just filled. taking a sip from her own cup, she looked around herself at all the people gathered, and couldn’t help the smile on her face. “you having fun, i hope? i filled your cup with my new special mix that i just discovered. it tastes good, and it’ll get you feeling the perfect amount of drunk after you finish it. i also have a bottle of water in my bag if you don’t feel like it, though. i came prepared.”
