Ben’s hand rose to wave to Freya at about the same time his eyes widened a bit, totally having forgotten about capture the flag. “You’re right!” He said, though it was obvious. “Oh man, that’s exciting. I sort of forgot. Picking teams is going to be fun, I’ve seen some new people around I haven’t gotten the chance to meet yet.” Coincidentally, he spotted a girl coming up around twenty feet behind Joshua, who he was facing.
Lulu arrived at what she figured was the dining haul, and when seeing two boys and a girl that seemed friendly enough, she waved happily at them, hoping to finally meet somebody at camp.
Lucia put a thoughtful finger up to her lips, let out a 'hmm'. "I mean, I had this one incident at school, I guess. Somebody pretended to be a new teacher and tried getting me, but I think that was really it," she replied with a smile. "At least when it comes to the big stuff. But as a child of Zeus, I really can't complain. Apparently monsters can smell me quite well."
She shrugged after that. "I was just gonna unpack, actually. Wanna head to the cabins together?"

Nick laughed at that, glancing up to see some of the things Prue had put up. "Nice one. We gotta do more, though, now that I'm here, too," he decided, sitting down on his bed. "I'm sure we can get some other campers to help as well. The Aphrodite cabin would probably love to help out." And maybe get some color in the cabin, though Nick wasn't a fan of the pink that was around that cabin.
Either way, it was his last year at the camp, he was allowed to mess around.
"Yeah, I wonder if Lucia is gonna lead a team again," Joshua wondered, ignoring Freya when she declared she wanted to lead a team.
Instead, he also spotted the new girl Ben had been looking at and waved his hand as a greeting. New people were probably still trying to find people to talk to, right? "Hi there," he greeted once she was close enough.
Lulu smiled, walking up to the boy that'd said hi and extending her hand to him, saying, "Hi. My name is Evelyn Flores, but I go by Lulu." She said in a mannerly fashion, while looking at the others next to him. The other boy, who'd waved, and the girl, who Lulu had seen looking pretty excited over something while she was walking toward the hall.
Ben gave her a friendly look, noting her soft looking hair before looking up a bit, as if trying to see his own. Man, that looks like it takes a lot of time to manage.
Joshua took her hand with a smile, shaking it. "Hi, I'm Joshua. Interesting nickname. Where does it come from?" he asked smoothly, trying to get a conversation going.
This, however, was interrupted by Freya. "Why does that matter right now? Isn't it way more important to know in which cabin she is?" she said loudly, still fixated on the game.
She did suddenly grin, though. "Joshua's a wizard," she said excitedly, while Joshua just gave an awkward laugh. "And Ben's well, I dunno... himself?"
Lulu grinned at Freya. "I'm a child of Aphrodite." She responded calmly, despite thinking Freya was pretty funny. She unashamedly paused, pulling lip gloss out of her bag and applying it. Turning back to Joshua, she said, "The name Lulu is short for Olivia, which is my middle name. And you're... a wizard?" Asking the question to Joshua, she reached her hand out to Ben, who shook it, then to Freya.
Nathan nodded then grinning a bit, “Typical of a demigod life really.” Monsters could sometimes disguise themselves as teachers or anyone to get close to the respected demigod it just depended on how bad the creature wanted to kill said-demigod really with the high profile aka the big three kids being on the wanted list, “Sure! Gotta unpack too and make sure I have everything...” he replied as sometimes Hermes campers could be sneaky and borrow more or in Henry’s case.... steal more unknowingly until the owner of said object notices that it’s missing, anyone who knows that certain camper understands it’s not on purpose.

“They’d help I can imagine... we’re not the only ones that think this cabin needs an upgrade or makeover.” Prue laughed in agreement as she was going to miss him not coming to camp next year so this couple of months she was determined to make this one the best or at least in the sense of not getting eaten during capture the flag kind, she could meet him out of camp however the risks would be slightly higher than normal as monsters liked big three kids and one monster she can in contact with had a menu on how to cook them up it had been nausting to hear.
"Hmm...my favorite memory? I have too many to count,but i guess, it would be the memory of meeting all you and making friends here on the forums. :3" ”One day I’m going to sit down and make a list of all the books that I finished reading....” “It's going to be a long list...”
"I'm a son of Hecate," Joshua corrected, rubbing the back of his neck. "There's a big difference, honestly. But yeah, guess I could earn money as a wizard at like children's birthday parties," he joked with a laugh. Freya really would never stop calling him that, apparently. It always ended up confusing people.
Lucia hummed in agreement, then started walking. "Yeah, better make sure Henry didn't steal more than just your watches." She paused, suddenly looking thoughtful. "I better check my stuff, too, actually. Who knows with those Hermes kids."
She hadn't seen Henry take anything from her, but who knew when it came to them.

"Yeah, we should just make it a big camp project or something," Nick joked with a smile, letting himself fall back on his bed to look up at the ceiling. "I bet everybody would be really motivated." He paused, suddenly chuckling as he thought of some specific people. "Well, most people at least."
(Citrine, ”You’re a wizard Harry,” “I’m a what?” “A wizard, and a darn good one I reckon once you train up.” -Hagrid sorry, I had too lol)
“I got a feeling we’ll have things end up missing during the summer bu5 that’s normal.” Nathan said as he walked alongside his friend to the cabins with Zeus’ cabin being in the far back center certainly an imposing structure that every time he felt some sort of judgment when he walked past and then there was the Aphodrite cabin that wasn’t bright as Apollo’s but an eyesorecatch with its pink cottage theme that he didn’t mind all too much however the pink plus some other designs have been on for years, you would think their godly mother would want to change the decor every year to make things interesting or something different might be nice not Ares kind that is.

Prue grinned a bit more as she walked into the cabin and sitting on her bed that happened to be a coffin, “Well the I would say a good majority will over rule certain people who would be against it.” She said which would help keep morale up and everyone’s motivated, “Chiron would probably agree with the plan too.” Although the only problem she could foresee iwouod be who would over see the project itself possibly the Hades kids until they get out voted by another cabin or something.
"Hmm...my favorite memory? I have too many to count,but i guess, it would be the memory of meeting all you and making friends here on the forums. :3" ”One day I’m going to sit down and make a list of all the books that I finished reading....” “It's going to be a long list...”
Lulu nodded, seeming to think for a second before replying. “I mean, whether you’re a wizard or not, the title is pretty cool.” Picking up an apple, she took a bite, chewed quietly, and asked, “I’m new here, so I’m not really familiar with... Anything? What kind of wizard-like stuff can you do?”
Ben bit into his banana again, hoping Joshua would demonstrate for them, as he always liked to watch him manipulate the mist.
"Yeah, wouldn't really be the camp without that happening, right?" Lucia asked, then stopped as they passed by her cabin, staring up at it for a moment. Well, back it was to being in there all alone, with a weird statue of her father. "Guess that's where we'll split for now. I'll see you at dinner?" she asked, sounding hopeful. Maybe they could already put the plan with her sitting at the Aphrodite table to good use there.
--
"Well, we can bring it up for sure. Just gotta make sure we can't have the project taken from us," Nick said with a smirk. "I can already see what kind of hilarious things the others would come up with if we dont have a say in it." Not to mention, the disagreements. With so many people, there were bound to be a lot of disagreements and a lot of arguing. Still, it didn't sound nice as a plan for his last summer at the camp.
"I mean, I basically manipulate the mist a lot," Joshua replied, then focused hard on her apple, imagining it shifting and changing into an orange. The shape was somewhat similar, so it wasn't too hard to do, either. He heard Freya gasp, which told him that he'd succeeded. "There we go. But it's not really an orange, honestly. If you focus hard enough, you'll see an apple again," he explained.
Nathan laughed a bit as it was considered a ‘rite of passage’ by some of the hermes campers which he didn’t mind as long that he got his things back by the end of the day, “Of course~ see you at dinner.” He smiled to his friend with them separating from Lucia’s cabin with the weird statue of her dad inside or so he was told by her which his own cabin was still pink as normal yet somewhat of a friendly sight.
*****
Prue nodded in agreement with her knowing that the small project could easily go out of control, “Maybe bring it up with the counselors and Chiron first before announcing it... well we got time to think about it, Want to go find our little bro?” They couldn’t spend the summer in a dark cabin anyway besides she didn’t know exactly where their younger brother wasn’t hiding out this time somewhere in camp that is.
"Hmm...my favorite memory? I have too many to count,but i guess, it would be the memory of meeting all you and making friends here on the forums. :3" ”One day I’m going to sit down and make a list of all the books that I finished reading....” “It's going to be a long list...”
Lulu’s eyes widened, fixated on the orange... apple? Looking a bit weary, she took a bite. Tasted like apple. “That’s crazy, I’ve never seen anything like that before.” She told Joshua, sort of in awe. Just having arrived at camp, this was sort of insane. “And you’re yourself?” She asked with a grin, looking at Ben.
Ben glared at Freya a bit, but he wasn’t serious. “Yeah, but at least I don’t destroy furniture with a scythe.” He teased.
"Sure," Nick agreed, pushing himself off the bed again. "He's probably hiding somewhere, so that's great hide and seek practice," he joked, grinning up at Prue. He moved to get out of the cabin again, stretching his arms above his head. "We should buy him a collar and a bell or something. That way you at least hear him when he's moving."
Then again, that wouldn't help in a situation like this, either. Nick was guessing Oliver wasn't moving around right now.
"That only happened four times this year!" Freya protested loudly, glaring at Ben. "I can't help it when our apartment is so smaaaall."
"Maybe not training inside the apartment would help," Joshua chimed in, laughing when Freya's glare turned to him. "'m just saying."
Ian seemed to have finished his food, because he returned soon after, grinning when he noticed the new camper with them. "Hi!" he said, reaching out with his hand to shake hers. "I'm Ian!"
Lulu shook Ian’s hand, smiling. Some people thought of it as sort of formal, but she just sort of knew to do it from when she was younger. “I’m Evelyn Flores, but I go by Lulu.” She told him.
Ben laughed just a bit. “Don’t you have a forest or clearing somewhere that doesn’t have any furniture?” Given, he didn’t know where Freya lived and couldn’t assume much, but he was sure that there had to be somewhere without a bunch of furniture. “A yard, even?”
“Pfft, I think Oliver would bite you if you tried collaring him.” Prue laughed a bit as she followed him out from the dark spooky cabin into the more open and brighter outside which she couldn’t help but picture the thought of Nick trying to put a bell collar on their little brother, “Or he would say we all would have to wear one.” Then recalling the fact sometimes as being the children of hades could shadowtravel pretty much anywhere meaning they could easily sneak up on someone both intentional or untentional.
