THE HALF BLOOD HILL TEST DRIVE MEME

[halfbloodhillmods]

The Test Drive Meme
A chance to test out character voices in an in-game setting before playing with them!

Who: Campers from all pantheons!
What: Wintertime tasks!
When: Sometime in December.
Where: Camp grounds.

1. It begins with snow. An unusual amount of snow.
Just because we've got a bubble around our happy home to keep our temperatures moderade doesn't mean that we're totally protected from cold weather. We've still got strawberry deliveries to make and paths to clear in the woods and by the entrance. Grab your shovels and hop to, children. Watch out for the ice.

2. The care and keeping of your monstrous magical creatures.
Grooming, feeding, exercising and, yes, cleaning up after - you've got your pick among friends such as Mrs. O'Leary and Hannibal in the arena, pegasi in the stables and others. Watch your step. No, seriously, watch your step.

3. Love our nymphs.
(Not like that.) Help them out during mealtimes, serve apple cider during the day, wash dishes after all is said and done. Others can wrap little trinkets and get to crafting in the Arts and Crafts Cabin to show your appreciation to those who work so hard to keep us fed.

4. Don't trust the mistletoe.
Some of you may remember waking up one morning to find yourselves underneath red berries and green leaves with a special someone or three. Well, Hecate will have none of that today. Whatever mistletoe we have left will leave you momentarily disoriented and walking yourself in circles as the camp seems to rearrange itself under your feet. Your task is to avoid or get rid of the pesky sprigs as soon as possible.

5. How much wood can a camper chop -- ?
With all the fire starters in camp, we should probably keep a steady supply of firewood, especially for the next bonfire. Try not to show off too much, hmm? You should also probably be careful which trees you choose to chop down because our nymphs can be sensitive about these things. Tread lightly.

6. I do what I WANT, Mr. D.
Finished with your tasks? You're now free to roam the camp as you please. (Shirking your responsibilities? Watch your back.)

[Eponine was weird like that. She wanted people to ask. She didn't want to tell. Though, most of the camp knew.]

Not really. And if I get congrats, I'd rather it be for surviving. Gods are bastards.

[swayer]

Detrimental to their own kids.

[ though, come to think of it, she could totally go for a cigarette. ]

Who knew?

[ospreyed]

[welcome to her life.]

...Anyone with a basic understanding of Greek mythology.

[swayer]

[ she just grins. it was sarcasm, mostly, but in juxtaposition to back home - she doesn't respond. she looks down into her cider cup again before extending her arm to eponine. ]

You want this?

[ospreyed]

The cider?

[She looks at it suspiciously, then back up to Audrey.] Why?

[swayer]

It's a question. Do you want it?

[ there's not really a game here, beyond a change of subject. she's just tired of carrying it around. ]

[ospreyed]

No, I'll pass.

[She's maybe a little paranoid]

[swayer]

[ a beat. audrey gives her a chance to change her mind before downing the rest of the cup, because there isn't much in there. ]

Suit yourself. Beats the snow.

[ospreyed]

Eh. [She shrugs.] Virgin cider would be pretty weird for me right now.

[swayer]

It would help you stay clean. [ TOTALLY INNOCENT BLINKING. ] And where would we be without the straight and narrow?

[ospreyed]

I'm hardly narrow. I don't even want to stay clean.
