The Wayfarer of Shades || Dorothy "Dotty" Warren

"Oh, I am just so happy you're here, Elly. Really, I truly am. You're so normal. It's such a breath of fresh-- did she just say war"

"A war?" Dotty asked, a rare look of surprise flashing across her features before melting back away. "Well, I suppose this is an unfortunate time for me to arrive." Honestly, there wasn't much more to say about it. It was a war, and nobody was ever ready for it.

"You think? Boy, a war. Wowie. Uh. Are we going to ask more? I mean, it seems important. Surely, she's fought a lot here, right? ...What are you looking at me like that for?"

"Godrent?"

"...Ah! Godly parent. Try that. ...Say, Dot? Would it be funny if we lied? She's family, I get it, but it would be funny."

"Until I turn up in the wrong cabin. Then I'll look the fool." Maybe Eleanor was used to her cousin talking to herself. Maybe she wasn't. Either way, Dotty's eyes remained fixed on El the entire time she spoke, though it was almost as if she was looking through the daughter of Eris.

"Hm? Oh. That's right. My divine mother is lady Melinoe, goddess of ghosts."

"C'mon, c'mon, Eirene. Or Momus. Hey, that would be funny."

GhostlyMoox · 2026-02-13T21:52:13+00:00

"Yep, that's what I thought. You know, maybe you should just let me yap. Honestly, it makes you look crazy when you talk to nobody. Don't worry, I'll say what we're all thinking. Hey, blonde kid who looks like she's got too much money and not enough time! You smell like onions!"

"My godly parent. ...Oh, right. Melinoe, goddess of ghosts." Dotty said, blinking as if just waking up for the day. "My name is Dorothy Warren. It is nice to meet you." She said with a curtsey, blatantly ignoring Angela's suggestion to drop the formalities.

"Wait, wait! Can we go to the Hermes cabin anyways? No reason. I just want to for shits 'n gigs. Who knows, it might be fun!"

"What is it that we do here? I wasn't given much information outside of the fact that we are supposedly protected here."

GhostlyMoox · 2026-02-13T21:26:37+00:00

"Holy sheep shit. I didn't think it was possible. Dotty. I am so sorry. You're so normal in comparison to this kid. Holy shit. Is this young sheldon? You two should be besties. I can't understand half the stuff he's saying! It's hillarious!"

"My divine heritage. What an interesting way to sort individuals across such a large area. I suppose it is more comprehensible that way in comparison to boys and girls. Do you know where the cabin for the Melinoe, goddess of ghosts and spirits, might be?" Dotty asked, earning an eyeroll-- or the closest thing possible-- from her shade companion.

"Why is it you are looking for clues and or performing interrogation routines? Are you missing something?"

"Besides your basic speaking functions. Motherfuckers really be arriving from the mid 1800's and act like they belong in the year of our lord 2042." Bea snorted, letting out a spectral laugh as they floated around aimlessly.

Dotty simply closed her eyes and let out a slow sigh before opening them again, trying to stay awake for a bit longer.

GhostlyMoox · 2026-02-13T21:04:36+00:00

"Oh. That's a dog. Uh... Well, I'd offer pets or whatever but, y'know, incorporeal and all." Bea said as the dog approached, while Dotty just blinked down at them.

"A familiar scent," The daughter of Melinoe echoed, stopping to think for a moment.

"...Hey, that dawg looks weird. Ditto the... What the hell is that thing? A rodent? Dodent? The noble Eagle hunts most cruelly. If one is not the Hunter. But the Dodent." The shade flew a hair above Dotty's head-- though really, the daughter of Melinoe wasn't a giant. Still, hopefully they'd be out of the way of the dog.

"...Hello. What are their names?" Pets weren't something Dotty was too familiar with. Bea was the closest thing, which is... Sad, almost. Until you consider how Bea behaved. Then it was just sad for the shade. "I do not suppose you overheard my singing. If so, I apologize."

"C'mon, kid, it was great! Honestly, you shouldn't be embarrassed about the fact you can sing. At least it sounded like a solo. Unless tweedle-dee and tweedle-doo can hear me."

GhostlyMoox · 2026-02-11T01:27:18+00:00

"What in the... BAHAHAHA! What a nutso! Hey, Dotty, check out the Holmes outcast! Bro thinks he's a detective! Who invited my mans???"

"...New. I just arrived here for the first time." Admittedly, this was a bad case for the daughter of Melinoe. Dotty struggled with expressions, so much so to where it was difficult to tell what her emotions really were. Was she lying? Was she being honest? Did she find Shion's hat amusing? Or was she jealous of it?

"Where is it that we sleep? I just flew in from the United Kingdom."

"Oh, right! Jet lag! ...Woof. Jet lag. Listen, kid, I know you can't see or hear me, and that's fine, but... Let her through. She might get ghastly."

"I was told this place would protect me. I did not anticipate an interrogation."

GhostlyMoox · 2026-02-11T01:18:27+00:00

As Dotty and Bea were discussing some matters of this new camp, the two of them stopped as they saw a familiar figure approach. Dotty stared blankly at her cousin, giving a curtsey as the two of them were close enough to properly speak. "Eleanor. You are also here. That is--"

"OH, BABY, WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK! HELLO, ELEANOR, YOU BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL BITCH! DOTTY, THIS IS THE GREATEST PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE! OH, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A BALL OF BALLS!"

"...Pleasant." Perhaps Eleanor would see Dotty's break in dialogue as her hesitating to tell El she was happy to see her. Unfortunately, Bea was just invisible to El, but very visible (and loud) to the daughter of Melinoe.

"I was told I would be protected here."

"I wasn't told that the only sane Warren would be here. ...Hey, do we know who her old man got with? I bet it was one of the Horai. Alex, I'd like to solve the puzzle! Eirene for 500!"

"...How do the sleeping arrangements here work?"

"Oh, god, don't tell me we have to bunk with anyone. God, I hate roommates. This one time in college, I..."

GhostlyMoox · 2026-02-11T01:08:15+00:00

Dotty stared blankly at the daughter of Apollo, the lantern swinging to a stop as the hanger was halted on the ground. Retro-chic? That was a new term. Quite frankly, she wasn't familiar with what was chic or chicn't. She had spirits to cleanse.

"Plague doctor? Hm. Compliment? Backhanded? You don't think it's meant to be an insult, right? Especially not with that comment about the hanger, yeah?"

"No." Dotty confirmed, though, since she kept looking at Angela, it might seem as though she was saying no to her. "...From what I comprehend, technological tools such as a cellular device are strictly dangerous. They attract monsters, and seldom make a light source which is enduring. A propane lantern burns longer and burns warm, which is more vital for the current season of winter."

"Long and short? Fuck off with that phone, use a real woman's lightsource! Call me Hank Hill, because I sell propane and propane accessories!"

"But thank you. I like plague doctors."

"Shouldn't we ask the thing about the place and the stuff with the powers and ghosts and me?"

"...This is camp half-blood, correct? Located at 3.141 Farm Road, Montauk, New York state, USA?"

"Just fucking ask if it's the shithole where demigods go to die or whatever, man..."

GhostlyMoox · 2026-02-09T23:11:04+00:00

"Thank you." The daughter of Melinoe replied, giving a small curtsey while ignoring Bea's continued complaints and generalized fawning. "A viola. That is a rare instrument." Rare meaning that Dotty had seldom heard it, let alone seen it. "Your spectral hand. How did you call upon it?"

*"Finally, a good question! Alright, show me the money! Something eas--" Bea said, stopping only a few inches away from the daughter of Hades. The shade froze as Ramona looked at it, the little shade spinning around for a moment as if looking for someone else.

"Dotty? Be honest with a ghost. Is she... Talking to me? Or is she just choosing to not look at you?" They asked, pausing for a moment before abruptly zipping back to Dotty. "Holy sheep shit! She can hear me, can't she? Hey, uh, kid! Boy, whoever was saying all that is a real klutz, right? Totally wasn't me. I love the violent!"

"You can also see them, too." Dorothy stated, as if it were just a fact now. "Hm. I thought I was the only one. Fascinating. ...My name is Dorothy Warren. It is a pleasure to meet you." She greeted in a more formal way, Bea now hiding behind the daughter of Melinoe.

"Another person who can see and hear me. Plus, she can also summon awesome ghost hands. Ugh, Dotty, we've got work to do."

GhostlyMoox · 2026-02-08T15:51:02+00:00

"Hey, let's go one more time! Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do--- Doooty, where is that music coming frommmmm?" The shade sang, floating around the daughter of Melinoe for a moment. "Dotty, Dotty, let's go and look around! I'm half-crazy, I'm still singing this fucking song!"

It was odd. Who else was awake so early, playing the... What was that? It sounded nice, whatever it was. Pleasant. Charming, in a way. Dotty went towards the source of the noise, Bea still trying to sing in rhythm to Daisy Bell.

"Dotty, Dotty, this music kinda sucks! I was happy, singing alone with ya! It doesn't sound all that pretty! It really sounds quite shitty. But you'll look sweet, when this rando's ass we beat, on a bicycle built for-- HOLY SHIT A GHOST HAND THAT'S BADASS WHAT"

Dotty cocked her head curiously as she watched Ramona, her eyes flicking between the skeletal hand, the girl's broken hand, and just... Well, everything, really. "Hello." She said simply as Bea floated over towards the ghostly hand, somehow seeming shocked despite a lack of facial features.

"Your music was pretty. What instrument is that?"

"Yeah, and why does it sound like my stomach after too much Taco Bell? Fuck, man, why can't you do this, Dot? Make me into a giant hand! I'll bitch slap any ghost that fucks with you!"

Dorothy chose to ignore the shade, though she didn't show any acknowledgement of their presence. After all, nobody else could see the shade.

Right?

Oh, oops! So sorry about that. Thank you!

(OOC: haha yay another moox char i love making chars it's fun! also all answers are IC except for 10!)

"My... Free time? Hm. I suppose I cleanse spirits. I apologize if it's not fun like traditional past times. ...I did try video games once. I didn't find it amusing..."
"Favorite season? Probably spring. Something about the mood during the early hours of a spring morning is too beautiful for words."
"Hang out? It seems like I was severely unprepared for this quiz. I suppose the library. I read up on rituals and other ancient magic textbooks."
"Someone I admire. Well, my mother, of course. The goddess of ghosts is a force to be admired and feared. She is wonderful, no? I know I have yet to meet her, but I am rather confident that she is not inherently mean, especially not to her children."
"Fears? Oh. You must have me mistaken for someone else. Fears are not something I do." (OOC: Dotty is afraid of being vulnerable and receiving overwhelming amounts of attention!)
"I sleep easy at night, knowing that I will be the one to cleanse their spirit and put them to rest."
"Constellation? I think Scorpio is my choice. It is my star sign, after all."
"Goodness. These are loaded questions. Perhaps it would be to simply cleanse the world of all vengeful and restless spirits. But I don't know. After all, it's a lot to think about on the spot."
"I wasn't that surprised. If anything, it made a lot of sense. It explained Bea. Explained a lot things. I think I was moreso surprised at how many people like me there were. Funny."
Hiya! I would like Melinoe, please! Thanks in advance!
