"You will need to supervise-"<br/><br/>"I heard what you said, Chiron. I'm no babysitter! Those Zeus boys can take care of themselves," Kat snapped. She'd been sitting across the table from the centaur, on the porch of the Big House. Luckily, Mr. D wasn't around so she was spared his sneering grin and snarky comments, like "Too bad, Katherine!"<br/><br/>"Kat, you don't have a choice. Someone needs to."<br/><br/>Kat sighed and stood up. "Fine. But don't expect us to be best friends. Those boys don't like me and I can't say I'm fond of them either."<br/><br/>"Fine by me," Chiron said cheerfully, waving goodbye as she bounced down the porch steps and made her way to the training grounds for sword and shield practice.<br/><br/>~<br/><br/>Ever since she'd started dating Chris Rodriguez, Clarisse was a bit kinder towards the class... but then again, not really.<br/><br/>"Idiots! Weaklings! You'll be the first to die!" she screeched. They were practicing attacks on a dummy that was meant to be a Titan but failed to resemble one in the slightest. Use your imagination, she told them. And while they all knew that a Titan wasn't a four-foot dummy with a head too small to fill up the helmet, they knew what she meant.<br/><br/>Each demigod was told to perform a diagonal slash across the side of the dummy's neck. On a real person, that would be where the jugular vein was. Opening a wound there would cause the enemy to gush blood and would, perhaps, help the fighter win the fight.<br/><br/>Most of her students couldn't pierce the fabric on the first swing and it was frustrating Clarisse, to the point of her jabbing her electric spear into the stomach of the nearest dummy and setting it on fire.<br/><br/>"You all make me sick!" she yelled as some Demeter kids rushed to put it out before it spread into the forest. "Partner up and practice feinting. Thought I doubt any of you can even accomplish that."<br/><br/>People started to pair up and Kat sighed, waiting until everyone was taken before she picked from the remains. She considered herself a well-liked camper, being one for more than five years, but sometimes, she was told she could be too <em>bossy.</em> Bossy. She snorted under her breath and leaned on the hilt of her sword, grumbling to herself. She wasn't bossy! People were just stupid and needed a push to do something.<br/><br/>Her mind wandered to those Zeus boys, which made her mood sour even more. She was so not looking forward to after dinner. Not one bit... who needs to learn sword techniques when you can easily use a spatula? She'll definitely make sure to grab one, to smack them if they refuse to cleanup. Yeah, that sounded like a good plan...<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div></div></div><hr/><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/70/Rina1.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Rina Aoki (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=207204.msg10253475#msg10253475)<br/><strong>Cabin:</strong>Demeter<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Sword & Shield<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>September 21st, 10:15am<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Kat<br/><strong>Notes:</strong>Wearing this (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=128535335)<br/><hr/>It had only been an hour since Rina arrived at the camp, and she hadn't really been able to interact with many people. Everyone seemed rather busy, and they all looked like they knew each other. She wondered if she was the odd woman out; the "newbie", as it were.<br/><br/>She<em>had</em>been able to at least drop off her belongings at her cabin. But there only seemed to be one other person in the same cabin as her. From what she could tell, the cabins were sorted by Gods and Goddesses. The children of each were placed in the cabin of the deity that had a hand in making them. The few she managed to see were: Dionysus, Aphrodite, Artemis, and Athena. It was logical that there were more, but Rina just probably hadn't noticed.<br/><br/>Rina headed towards the Armory, intrigued by what she might find. While she wasn't the most adept fighter, she knew how to defend herself. Her dad was in the Marines, and he had taught her some things as she was growing up. Not only was it helpful, but it allowed them to spend more time together.<br/><br/>She stepped through the doorway, and took a look around. Various weapons were on display, as well as pieces of armor and some shields. There was only one person Rina could see. A young blonde girl, who looked different than Rina in every way. She didn't seem to busy, and so Rina took the opportunity to introduce herself. If she wanted to get to know the other campers, then she would have to take the initiative sometimes and make the first move.<br/><br/>"Hi there." She said enthusiastically, with a smile. "I'm Rina." The dark haired girl held her hand out to shake. She just hoped that she hadn't caught the blonde girl at a bad time. Rina really wanted to get off on the right foot here.
