THE HALF BLOOD HILL TEST DRIVE MEME

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.)

What? Uh, no, I don't charge. It's kind of - nothing.

[ She gestures to the cup still in Audrey's hand. Maybe she likes showing off just a little bit, in small doses. ] You want me to turn that cider into coffee?

[swayer]

[ audrey doesn't exactly have to act marveled, seeing as this has never happened to her before, but she files it away in the back of her mind. maybe if it works, that's exactly the way to get what she wants in the future. ]

You can do that?

[ completely awestruck. don't worry; it's genuine. ]

Yeah, absolutely.

[clearasil]

[ Natalie generally sees anything like this as another opportunity to practice and she's determined not to screw things up. She doesn't even have to reach out to the cup, though her eyes do flash green for a moment when she finally concentrates.

And, lo, instead of cider, Audrey now has a cup of (possibly illegal, but yolo) coffee. ]

So, yeah.

[swayer]

[ sure enough, she totally has a nice hot cup of questionable contraband. beautiful.

she takes a sip, and yes. yes, it sure is real. ]

- How long does it take to learn that one?
