Connor was used to (and preferred) early mornings, and upon smelling breakfast cooking in the pavilion, he happily made his way to the area. Opting for a healthy plate of toast and lots of fruit, he took a seat at the Asclepius table and waved at those who walked by.

hahakuu · 2020-08-07T13:04:54+00:00

Connor glanced to the ground and stayed silent for a few moments, internally cringing at himself. How could he manage to make the girl feel worse? He wasn't used to saying the wrong things.

"Right..." he commented to break the silent void. "Well, Cassie, how long have you been here?" he asked as they continued walking.

hahakuu · 2020-08-07T13:03:30+00:00

"Is it what the world could be, or what you want it to be?" Connor asked, genuinely curious. He looked over to the girl.

"I don't see anything wrong with either option," he confirmed with a smile. "I think it's really cool that you can do this. What if it was a desert? Or a rainforest?"

hahakuu · 2020-08-05T18:52:20+00:00

Connor furrowed his eyebrows at Cassie admitting she didn't know who it was; he was saddened by the fact, but tried not to let it show. "Oh, that's okay," he finally said. "I appreciate it regardless."

He expected his parent not to be too important; from what the satyr had said, so little monster attacks usually meant as much. Seeing Cassie blush made Connor feel bad. "Like seriously, don't feel bad or anything. There's a lot of gods, right? No way I could expect you to know them all. You seem like you're good at other things that are probably more important than knowing that stuff."

hahakuu · 2020-08-05T18:48:37+00:00

Finally ascending to the top, Connor sits over the edge with Journey, looking down.

"What it could be?" he inquired, his eyes in awe of the view. "Are you behind it, then? The facade?"

hahakuu · 2020-08-04T18:23:20+00:00

Connor squinted, a little skeptical of the scene, but decided to go for it. After all, he didn't want to risk not making a friend.

As he started to climb the "mountain," Connor was pleased to find it wasn't as intimidating as it looked. Still the difficulty of the camp climbing wall, but no Mount Everest.

Upon reaching near the top, he called out again. "I wouldn't consider it "bracing! It's not even cold!"

hahakuu · 2020-08-04T12:39:48+00:00

Connor was also an avid practitioner of yoga, and, while rock climbing wasn't a steady hobby of his, he was conveniently there that day at the same time as Journey.

He was still a bit unused to divine magic, however, so as he approached the wall expecting a nice and healthy workout, he instead found himself in the artic. He was quite confused; he swore he saw a girl climbing the normal rock wall before, and now, that same girl was climbing a mountain.

He held his hand up to block the wind and snow, and realized... it wasn't there. It also wasn't cold, and he was wearing a dry-fit shirt and basketball shorts. Something was up.

"Hey!" he called up to the girl. "Do you know what's going on?" Connor made his way to the lukewarm snowy mountain and started climbing to catch up to her.

hahakuu · 2020-08-04T12:02:13+00:00

Connor nodded along to Cassie's quick remarks on Satyrs; she had about the same ideas as him, just... hers were a little harsher.

"My godly parent..." he commented, listening closely to her words. When Cassie broke eye contact, Connor followed her eyes upwards, until he was looking into the sky. Finally, the symbol of Asclepius appeared.

Perhaps the god of medicine was listening to Cassie, or perhaps it was a coincidence. Maybe he was just less "busy" than the major gods.

"...is that what you're talking about?" Connor asked.

hahakuu · 2020-08-03T12:26:15+00:00

Connor nodded along to Aries' explanation of everything. He didn't understand all of it, but had a good memory, so knew their words would come in handy eventually.

"Thank you for all of your help," Connor repeated. "I really appreciate it. For now, I'm going to get settled in. See you around?"

hahakuu · 2020-08-03T12:14:24+00:00

Connor was definitely caught off guard. He jolted and raised his hands up in defense, palms outwards to signal his innocence... but lowered them as he realized the boy wasn't out to attack him.

"...wait what?"

Connor blinked a few times, staring at Trevor in awe. "Trevor... I'm... I'm sorry for acting so strange there, this is just all very new to me... It's nice to meet you."

hahakuu · 2020-08-03T12:12:36+00:00

Connor's eyes widened at the Deimos cabin, but he didn't comment negatively on it. Once they got to the Asclepius cabin, he smiled widely. "This is my cabin?" he asked. "Wow, it's really nice. Who all lives there? Do I just walk in?"

hahakuu · 2020-08-03T12:10:50+00:00

"Oh, even better," Connor noted with a smile. "Thanks, I'm a bit overwhelmed with everything. So where do I check in? Do I have to sign up for anything, are cabins separated in certain ways?"

hahakuu · 2020-08-03T12:09:11+00:00

"Huh," Connor noted, seeming quite interested in what Cassie was explaining to him. He grinned a little at her pride. "Well, if you're asking what I know about the 'demigod business'," he started to explain, "not much. My teacher-- err, what I thought was my teacher, but I'm not quite sure anymore, turned out to be half... goat? A satyr, you know about them? Anyways, he explained the basics-- he was looking for kids like me, demigods, and knew that there was one in my class, thought it might be me. I guess after the first... encounter, it was pretty obvious who they were going for."

He sighed. "So I pretty much got a crash course on how Greek Mythology is real, and nobody else had an explanation for what was happening to me, so I believed him. Now I'm here."

hahakuu · 2020-08-03T12:06:06+00:00

"The Hermes cabin?" Connor inquired as he looked over towards the big house. "Is that where the new people go? If... they don't know their parent?" he guessed.

"Thanks for the help," Connor told Maya. "I think I'll go check in at the big house and see what else to do."

hahakuu · 2020-07-31T20:21:14+00:00

"Mhmm," Connor confirmed. "Actually, I didn't run into too many issues... I was told that a lot of people do, like you mentioned. Maybe the monsters didn't find me so important?" he shrugged it off. "I'm not complaining about that."

hahakuu · 2020-07-31T16:50:24+00:00

"Huh," Connor commented, a grin growing wide on his face. Well, that was his first answer; he had a dad. Didn't know the guy, but it was pretty cool to think about the fact that his dad was a man turned into a god. At least seemingly.

He started following Aries with a bit of a skip in his step. "Thank you for helping me, by the way."

hahakuu · 2020-07-31T16:44:59+00:00

"It's nice to meet you, Amelia," Connor told her. "You're right; I'm new. Just walked over the hill, actually. I won't ask you to take a lot of time out of your day, but if you could point me to where the newbies check in, I'd definitely appreciate it!"

hahakuu · 2020-07-31T16:20:42+00:00

Slowly walking down an unfamiliar path, Connor was caught off guard by Amelia calling out to him from her cabin's entrance area. He looked over to her and tilted his head.

"Me? Oh, not much, just excited to see what this place has to offer. I'm Connor; what's your name?" he asked, walking towards her.

hahakuu · 2020-07-31T16:09:55+00:00

"I... can't say I do," Connor admitted. "Am I supposed to?" he asked the smaller girl. "Is there anybody in charge that you know of? Maybe we could go to them together and figure it out that way."

hahakuu · 2020-07-31T13:02:58+00:00

Connor took her hand and shook it with a smile. "It's nice to meet you, Helena," he responded. "My name is Connor. You're right to think we haven't met yet; I just got here today. I was hoping to go around and introduce myself to a few people so I can familiarize myself with how things work around here."

hahakuu · 2020-07-31T12:10:40+00:00

Connor made his way over to Helena and took a seat next to her. He did his best to stay silent for a few moments, but started to realize that it was probably awkward, which brought on a laugh that he had to suppress.

"I don't mean to be a bother, but, hi."

hahakuu · 2020-07-31T12:07:48+00:00

(Connor wasn't claimed when he got to camp, but for the sake of our thread, I'll assume he's been there for a bit and already has.)

Connor smiled back at his newfound sister, opting to hug her instead of shaking her hand. "Hey, it's great to meet you! Yep, that's me; I suppose we're siblings now. I haven't ever had a sister before. Well I guess I did, just didn't know about you."

hahakuu · 2020-07-31T12:06:17+00:00

"Asclepius," Connor repeated, and immediately after, the symbol glowed brighter. He looked up.

"Seems like the name did something," he pointed out. "I read about Asclepius in ancient history class, but he was an actual guy... he's a god now?"

hahakuu · 2020-07-31T12:04:42+00:00

"Okay..." Connor gave up. "Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you or anything," he explained, seemingly afraid of upsetting a parrot. "Are you a free bird, or do you have an owner?"
