[Title speaks for itself.]

Peter Pan / Disney / Son of Hebe

[justalittlebitofpixiedust]

[Who in the world let Peter near the stables?

Oh well, it probably doesn't matter. What does matter is he can be found soaring through the sky on a pegasus, crowing in joy.]

Merry Brandybuck, Legacy of Epona

[holbytla]

[So someone's particularly good with horses (thanks Grandmother). And someone was never at Camp Jupiter so he's still a little "eh" about the whole Legion thing.

He's totally behind kicking an evil Titaness's ass, don't worry, but he's not sure he really fits in the legion. After all, when you're barely five feet...well, people tend to overlook you a lot.

Either way, though, there's one curly haired blond hanging around the stables, apple in hand.

For him, not the horses or pegasi.]

[peopleofintelligence]

Merry!

[Pippin Took had met Merry the second Merry had arrived in camp, and had instantly decided the older boy was his new best friend.

Hope that's okay with you, Merry. Two short dudes gotta stick together.]

I hope you were planning on sharing that apple.

omfg I did not expect this

[holbytla]

[He likes Pippin well enough so really, he doesn't mind. He's fun, anyway.

Merry takes another bite of his apple, just a little smug]

How can I share an apple when I don't have a knife to cut it with, Pippin? Get your own!

Walt Stone | Kane Chronicles | Eye of Anubis

[shutupfather]

[Walt is going to take this moment of respite to brainstorm some new ideas for charms. Now that there are more pantheons to worry about, he's thinking maybe some new protections are in order. Anubis seems content to let him work on it, throwing a suggestion now and again.

Please, bother this kid. He'll welcome it.]

oh my gods

[eye_of_isis]

[Hi Walt. Have a girlfriend coming over and covering your eyes, knowing it's no good but feeling silly right now]

Can't resist your characters man

[shutupfather]

[He chuckles and sets down his half-finished project. It's been a while since they saw each other, so Sadie deserves his full attention.]

I'm going to guess it's my favorite magician right behind me.

[detrelibre]

[Now, of course, charms aren't exactly Combeferre's forte, but the other aspects of the gods' magic are just as interesting to him as what he excels at. So he moves to crouch down next to Walt.]

Something on your mind?

[shutupfather]

[He shakes his head.]

Not really. I thought I'd see about making some new charms. I actually was thinking about asking the Hecate kids about their magic, see if maybe I can use something similar to get the same effect.

[allnerves]

[ Ooh, what's going on over here. Nosy Annabeth is totally nosy. ]

What are you doing? [ Not accusatory, but a little abrupt. Still curious, because that's how she is. ]

Artemis Fowl II | Artemis Fowl | Post-Ragnarok Loki

[fowlisfair]

[Artemis has obviously been around Camp for too long. He is also bored. Now, a bored Loki is bad enough, as the Norse can probably tell you in great detail, but a bored Artemis is just as bad, if not worse. Combine the two, and things...happen.

He has basically decided to indulge his mischievous side and made some clever ways to mess around with the campers, be it somehow tampering with the Apollo instruments so that they can only play the notes for "Mary Had a Little Lamb" or putting glitter on two certain god's ravens. The possibilities are endless.]

[longmayshereign]

Artemis.

[When he turns around he'll see Mary, looking somewhere between exasperated and amused (default expression when dealing with Artemis/Loki). The glitter isn't all through her locks, but she's definitely got some sections of the sides that have had purple and blue glitter rubbed into them, as if a pair of ravens had been sitting on her shoulders and nudging their black be-glittered bodies up against her hair.]

I look like I'm about to attend a rave in Bristol.

[stauncherhearted]

Artemis. [Troublemaking boys were nothing new to Nancy. She'd been raise along side them. She had been looked up to as a motherly figure by them. But with Artemis, it was different. She was new as well, but already she knew that he was supposed to be Loki reincarnated.

Which certainly made her role as Sigyn strange and complicated.]

D'you mind telling me what it is you're doing, exactly, hmm?

[underwearfortomorrow]

[Loki senses tingling.]

[You probably didn't hear him walk up, and there's no telling how long he's been there, but Eiji is standing there behind him with his arms crossed, eyebrows raised and leaning slightly against whatever structure is nearby.]

Having fun?

[dromomania]

[Rhys isn't going to indulge Artemis's pranks. And by 'not indulge', he means that he's going to ignore them unless they're actually a danger to anyone at camp.

Which means that right now, while he looks like he's been afflicted with a serious case of sparkle dandruff, all over his head and shoulders, he's practicing with his spear as if all is right with the world.]

arnold cunningham | the book of mormon | soul piece of saga

[bookofarnold]

[So, when Hera first appeared to Arnold and told him he had to go to summer camp, admittedly? He was a little freaked out. Sure, maybe he's never actually read his family's holy text, not the whole way through, but they were pretty religious, and he's not exactly sure this is what Heavenly Father would want of him... (and also, he's never been to summer camp before...)

And then - then Arnold Cunningham realized that - whoa, whoa, this is just like Clash of the Titans. Super cool. (And terrifying.) And she said he had a piece of - a Norse goddess in him? Okay, at first, he'd told her - no, lady, with all due respect, you have the wrong guy, there's nothing special about me, I'm a follower - but she didn't take no for an answer, and she told him this was his call to adventure, this is your time to shine, Arnold.

Which freaked him out even more.

And so after some careful wording to Arnold's dad about how she's recruited Arnold for a missionary training center, and how she thinks it'll help him to become an upstanding member of the Church...he's here, at this camp full of crazy awesome mythological creatures and he's apparently got to meet this girl who'll come along and call herself Saga, and that he'll know. And while he's not exactly sure that this is the right thing to do...well, maybe he'll help someone. Maybe it'll be good.

And, then again - in Utah, nobody'd ever let Arnold get his hands on a real sword before. Which is why he's hacking off the heads of dummies in the Arena and making lightsaber noises with his mouth.]

[dromomania]

Nice enthusiasm there, uh, Cunningham, wasn't it?

[The lightsabers are a great touch. Really. He's not weirded out at all... but then, he's wandering around with two ravens perched on his shoulders, so...

Anyway, he figured he'd check out the new addition to the Norse ranks once the birds mentioned he was there and that he was a soul piece... and a Mormon. That would be interesting.]

Re: arnold cunningham | the book of mormon | soul piece of saga

[praytothegods]

[Gyda was coming down to the arena for her own training, albeit a little nervously. Every member of her family was trained to fight, it was just something her Far and Mor instituted...

Except Gyda was never any good at it. She just wasn't a fighter. And yet here she is with a spear, pausing off to the side as she watched another camper behead dummies while making a strange noise.

... And she couldn't help but giggle.]

[underwearfortomorrow]

[He doesn't really get what the noises are for, but they're still funny and Eiji has been watching for a few minutes, trying not to laugh. After a little while and several decapitated dummies later he walks over to him.]

You're not bad with that!

[Hi, Sagaling, tis the mighty Thor. In all his skinny, tye-dye clad glory.]

Katniss Everdeen / The Hunger Games / Daughter of Apollo

[catpiss]

[The problem with being 'that' kid growing up in school, the one with the too-big shoes with holes in the toes, is that it doesn't exactly make you well-suited to like the company of other people who are probably just going to make fun of you.

That's why Katniss prefers the woods. She's settled along the edge of the trees today, watching a set of rabbit snares that she's laid out along the nearby bushes. She rarely catches anything, with the exception of another camper's annoyance ... but it calms her down, being out here alone.]

[thestarspangledman]

[Steve is well-accustomed to people making fun of him. He puts up with it with relatively good humor, at least, unless they're deliberately being a jerk.

He should really know better than to be in the woods by himself -- asthma, wolves, giant immortal-ish monsters, but he's armed with a dagger and shield, at least. In any case, he's settled down in a spot not too far away from Katniss, sketching and looking thoughtful.]

[findthisdistracting]

[Finnick tends to go for walks in the woods sometimes, to clear his head. Today, though, he's on a mission looking for one Katniss Everdeen -- and hey, there she is, so he's leaning up against a tree and giving her a grin.]

Hey, Everdeen.

[annieisntokay]

[Katniss may prefer the woods, but Annie prefers the beach. Which was exactly where she was, wandering where the sand meets the grass, near the trees, when she spotted some movement, and what looked like... a snare?

Carefully, she approached, trying to get a better look at the snare. It wasn't one of Gale's, she recognized that immediately. Cautiously, she called out:] Hello? Is anyone there?

[cavalrys]

[Hazel had been minding her own business in the woods, as she tended to. Walking, thinking, trying to figure out what was going on with this Leo/Sammy business. And, of course, what to do about Nico. That was until she heard a snap and turned towards the sound.

There, dangling off the ground, was a terrified looking rabbit.] Oh, you poor thing! [Hazel dropped to the ground next to it.] C'mon. I'm going to get you out of there. Poor boy. [Gale must have left a snare lying around.]
