He was a demigod, his mother was some god he recalled hearing about in ancient literature class. His father saw to it that his education was nothing but the best and the son truly had excelled at it. The one thing he could not change was his addiction to video games and electronics. The man could not chastise his son, he excelled in what he did so if he was a little shy socially, then it was something that had to be addressed later. With a final good bye, they parted ways and Ryu found himself at Camp Halfblood. Everything he saw he took without a second glance, gods, demigods, mythical beings everything was coming up on his ipad. The stylus rolled over the information he had downloaded earlier, glad he did as he lost all reception as soon as he entered the barrier of the camp.<br/><br/>Finding himself bored with the game he uploaded a battle simulator he had designed himself and began creating new challenges to take on. He could spend hours on that tablet, mastering battle formations and tactics or he would have if the battery hadn't run out. It was past dinner, he found himself sitting on some log in front of a fire. His eyes looked up as his tablet when black and finally powered down. A frown crossed his face, his eyes looking around for the first time since his arrival hours ago when he recalled the extra battery pack he had kept on him. Switching the power sources back in, he stood and found a better seat to avoid the glare from the chaotic flames. The Japan native moved away, drawn to the pixels then the opportunity to be part of a myth, things other people (mortals) dreamed about. He would have plenty of time to find who his mother was, the battery would only last fifty-five minutes on his current settings!<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><em>Vincent is tired!</em></div><br/>The day had taken its toll on him, he could feel the weight on his eyelids. In the time he had returned to the fire he had mingled with a few people, waved and flirted a few times back and forth. Finally at his limit he found Abigale and leaned in to whisper in her ear since it the conversations going back and forth had created lots of noise in the area.<br/><strong>"Hey Abby, I am gonna hit the hay...I am worn out as hell. Good night." </strong><br/>With a final wave and a smile he walked off towards the cabin but recalled that it was overcrowded and he did not have a bed. Looking around he caught a glimpse of the stables and figured he could make a good bed out of fresh hay... (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=80976.0)<br/><br/>
