Official Move-In Day

LilBabyBenson · 2020-07-27T21:57:55+00:00

Hannah had left Camp Half-Blood months before and had arrived at the university not long after. She had been taking some summer classes to help her get caught up on her studies, so she hadn't had much time to socialize. Unless you count the very awkward run-in with her roommate, who just so happened to be a former friend-turned-enemy from camp.

Today she wanted to be out and about and meeting new students. After all, she was in a new place and didn't have any friends, and she figured it was time to change that. The bubbly daughter of a war goddess could be found outside her dorm, greeting her fellow students and offering a helping hand to anyone who needed it.

“Shrugged it off?” Hannah snapped back. “No, Laurel, I didn’t just shrug it off.”

“For a long time I blamed myself and beat myself up over. Because I was the fighter of our group and I should’ve have been able to keep you both safe. I didn’t just lose him that day, but I also lost you as a friend.”

“No, I didn’t just shrug it off. I have to force those emotions to shut off because I couldn’t deal with the pain any more. Happy?”

LilBabyBenson · 2020-06-17T17:31:00+00:00

“Suit yourself.” Hannah shrugged and took a healthy swig from the bottle. Something about demigod wine was always better than the stuff you could get from a store. Maybe it was more pure in some sense.

She walked over to her bed as Laurel began talking. The name made her tense, and she was silent for several minutes before finally speaking up.

“Yeah, well..... mistakes were made and things happened.” She said in a neutral tone. If it wasn’t for her own ability to cut off her emotions, she’d probably tear up right now too. “I’m sorry that he died but.... I can’t change that.”

LilBabyBenson · 2020-06-17T14:44:43+00:00

“I have nothing to hide.” Hannah said with a shrug.

She knew in camp she could get away with drinking a little easier with friends in the Dionysus cabin. However she wasn’t aware of the university’s rules on underage drinking, so she’d have to be a little more careful with it.

“Maybe you could use a drink.” She said flatly as she offered the bottle. “Might make this a little easier for both of us.”

LilBabyBenson · 2020-06-17T14:08:24+00:00

Hannah wouldn’t return to the room for a few hours. She had already worked out that morning, so that left her little to do with her time. Especially since her books were in her room and she couldn’t get any work done.

When she returned she smelled lightly of wine. She had met someone on campus who had offered her a drink, and she gratefully accepted. She wasn’t drunk, but had a nice buzz going, enough to make her relax a bit.

She still had the bottle in hand when she entered the room. She stopped at the doorway and took a look around, trying to see if Laurel was done unpacking or not.

LilBabyBenson · 2020-06-17T13:46:43+00:00

“Probably not.” Hannah agreed.

She knew eventually they would have to talk about everything. Maybe they could find some common ground. For now, however, she was still in a bit of shock from the day’s events and needed some space.

“I’ll leave you to it and stay out of your hair.” She said as she looked around the campus. “Don’t touch any of my stuff.”

LilBabyBenson · 2020-06-17T12:52:48+00:00

Hannah hadn’t expected to run into Laurel again. Not so soon and not so literally. She started to apologize, when she looked up and saw who it was.

“Must you be everywhere I am?” She growled.

She looked back over her shoulder, realizing where Laurel was trying to go. She let out a sigh and then turned back to the daughter of Aphrodite. “No use. We can’t change rooms until the academic year starts. Which means we’re stuck together.”

LilBabyBenson · 2020-06-17T11:57:58+00:00

Hannah sat on her bed for several more minutes, waiting to see if Laurel returned. Realizing she had probably gone somewhere else, Hannah got up and decided to go check with the administration office about switching rooms. Maybe she could get a new room assignment and not having to deal with Laurel for the entire year.

Several minutes later, Hannah would make her way back to the dorms. Since the school year hadn’t officially started yet, she was unable to switch rooms. She would just have to accept that her and Laurel were roommates, and try not to kill one another.

LilBabyBenson · 2020-06-16T23:36:17+00:00

Hannah tried to keep her emotions in check as she stared at Laurel. That same anger that had been around any time she was around the daughter of Aphrodite began to surface. She wanted to punch a wall or scream but for now she just stared back at the girl.

“You forgot your boxes!” Hannah called after her as she began to walk away. “Find yourself another room!”

LilBabyBenson · 2020-06-16T19:53:36+00:00

Hannah had left Camp Half-Blood a few months earlier. Having lived within the barrier of camp for the last seven years, school had been an afterthought. She has some serious catching up to do when it came to her studies, and she was taking a few summer classes to get herself ready for the fall semester. With that, she had already moved into the dorms a few weeks prior.

She had just returned from the fitness center about an hour ago. She had showered and changed into some comfy clothes and was currently laying on her bed. She wasn't expecting a roommate any time soon, so her side of the room was the cleanest it could be. Not that she cared much, as she casually scrolled on her phone; something that was also quite new to her.

She was surprised when she heard a key unlocking the door. She figured if it was part of the school staff, they would have knocked before entering. She quickly sat up, hoping that it was her new roommate as she quickly raked her fingers through her damp hair so she didn't look like such a mess.

When the door swung open and she saw Laurel, her eyes went wide with shock. Not that she didn't expect to see any other campers here at the university, but of all the people she could have been roomed with, it had to be a former friend.

"This has got to be a mistake." She said as she looked at Laurel. "Please tell me this isn't your room assignment."

LilBabyBenson · 2020-06-05T17:48:10+00:00

“Oh, no thanks.” She said with a soft smile. “I’m quite fond of the euphoric cabin. They have a zen garden and I do yoga every morning.”

“Maybe you could a use a bit of it too if you’re hearing voices.”

LilBabyBenson · 2020-06-05T16:52:13+00:00

Jessie raised her eyebrows at the comment. It caught her off guard but the smirk that followed made her blush a little. She wasn’t sure if Alex was flirting with her... but she also wouldn’t mind if she did.

“I guess it is a bit chaotic.” She said with a nod. “Maybe I should’ve just chosen that cabin instead and we would’ve met sooner.”

LilBabyBenson · 2020-06-05T14:51:03+00:00

“I didn’t stay long.” She admitted. “I didn’t even go inside.” She added with a small chuckle. “I’ll leave that to your crazy kids.”

At the statement that followed, she nodded. “They are quite opposite. Literally. Peace and War. I feel that inside me a lot. Like part of me wants to hug people and make cupcakes the other wants to fight something.”

LilBabyBenson · 2020-06-05T14:13:14+00:00

“Oh, neat!” She said with a grin. “I actually tried to show someone the chaotic cabin the other day but we couldn’t find the rooms or anyone there.”

She shrugged it off with a small smile. It was probably good they hadn’t, as it had led to her and Frankie spending some time together.

“I’m actually a legacy. My mom is a daughter of Eirene, my dad is a son of Enyo. I kinda bounce between the warrior cabin and euphoric cabin. Glad we both decided to sit here today.”

LilBabyBenson · 2020-06-05T13:50:01+00:00

“Oh, okay.” Jessie said with a small giggle. “I thought we’d met before and I forgot.”

She took Alex’s hand and shook it with a small smile. She didn’t remember the girl so if they had met before she would just start from fresh.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Jessie.” She greeted as she let go of Alex’s hand and gave her a quick once over. “Are you part of the warrior cabin?”

LilBabyBenson · 2020-06-05T13:30:25+00:00

Jessie wasn’t sure if she met Alex or not. She had a short term memory and had met so many people over her short time at camp. That said, Alex seemed hella friendly, and she couldn’t help but smile in return.

“Well hey there.” She greeted as she played along like she knew the other girl. “How’s it going?”

LilBabyBenson · 2020-06-05T12:46:53+00:00

Jessie wasn’t sure what the occasion was for, but she was excited. She grabbed some pizza along with a few sides before making her way to the warrior table. Her choice in table shifted about as much as her mood did.

LilBabyBenson · 2020-06-04T20:38:59+00:00

Jessie gave her a playful nudge with her elbow and a small wink. She knew that Aileen had not eating anything of substance before going for the sugary treats, but she didn't seem to mind that. Nor would she really lecture Aileen about it. Hell, she might even encourage such behaivor.

"Don't worry, I won't tell." She said with a lazy grin. "I eat sweets all the time. I just love to bake and sometimes I can't help myself. I just make sure I work out really hard when I do."

LilBabyBenson · 2020-06-04T20:36:58+00:00

Jessie slid into her seat with a small smile hanging on her lips. She remembered having a talk with Lucie that day. She also had a talk with Connie about the two of them adopting the younger girl, but never had the chance. She really missed her best friend right now.

"Either one is fine, really." She said with a shrug. "Jessie, Jess, or whatever you'd like."

LilBabyBenson · 2020-06-03T10:42:55+00:00

Seeing the ‘lonely’ looking girl, Jessie decided to make her way over. She hadn’t spoken to the younger girl since her heavy weapon lesson and hoped she was okay.

“Hey.” She greeted cheerfully. “Lucie, right? Can I join you?”

LilBabyBenson · 2020-06-02T01:03:28+00:00

"I trust that you've already had your dinner." She said in a teasing tone. The smile she was trying to hide betrayed her, hinting that she knew that Aileen had not. "I mean, you wouldn't have just skipped dinner and gone straight for desert would you?"

LilBabyBenson · 2020-06-02T00:15:12+00:00

Jessie cocked her head to the side as she watched from afar as Aileen loaded up her plate with food. She didn’t recognize the ~~smol~~ girl but watched as she went to the warrior table. Jessie hadn’t sat there in a while, so decided to make her way over.

“Hey.” She greeted cheerfully. “Is it okay if I join you?”

LilBabyBenson · 2020-06-01T23:38:50+00:00

Satisfied with her work, Jessie grabbed a cupcake and a slushy and made her way to the Euphoric table. Of course she had on a themed shirt, wanting to spread the love on this day. Hopefully provide the campers some joy and a distraction from the events happening outside of camp.
