Look, Offline!
It's only a scale model
Shh!"Are we living a life that is safe from harm? Of course not, we never are. But that's not the right question. The question is: are we living a life that is worth the harm?"

If you start singing the song, I may just have to hug you.

Re: [CHB] OOC 1: The Revival
We're knights of the Greek table,
We dance when we are able.
We do routines & chorus scenes,
With footwork impeccable.
We dine well here in Camp half-blood,
We eat jam and ham and spam much!
We're knights of the Greek table
Our songs are formidable
But many times we're given rhymes
That are quite unsingable
We're campfire mad in Camp Half Blood
We sing fun songs so much
Quests we're tough and able, quite indefatigable
Between prophecies we train with ease
And capture flags when we are able!
It's a busy life in Camp Half Blood

Re: [CHB] OOC 1: The Revival
On second thought, let's not go to Camp Half-Blood. 'Tis a silly place.
So, it looks like Rick is going to get into a fight with Andy. Andy will be primarily dodging, using his gun at some points in the battle.The statement below is true
The statement above is false

Hey, um... you should probably hold off on posting so much, since your character's waiting for Rick and all for the scene.

Re: [CHB] OOC 1: The Revival
Still, it's generally preferred to wait until all the people in the scene have posted before posting again.

Re: [CHB] OOC 1: The Revival
I find it hilariously fitting that the one person who acts friendly to Jason happens to be another child of Hades. Well-played, aric.
Also, @Ark: I was mostly kidding, but...*tackle-hug*!!

Re: [CHB] OOC 1: The Revival
I'm sorry, I don't know what Xenia is, shame on me.
Haha, actually, Colin is a son of Boreas, god of the North Wind. Obscure, I know.
He's basically better with wind manipulation than Zeus' spawn, and he can control the wind to give him impeccable aim.#27Sigatars

Re: [CHB] OOC 1: The Revival
Aric got it right by saying what, not who. Xenia (or, rather, ξενία) is the classical Greek practice of hospitality or "guest-friendship". The duty of the host is to aid a stranger in need; it is generally held that the host should see to the guest's needs (food, bath, etc) before asking their identity and origin.
Colin's first question being related to Jason's welfare rather than "who are you" or "how did you get in" or etc is proper xenia hospitality.

Re: [CHB] OOC 1: The Revival
Ah, I see. In that case, it makes sense that Colin would be the most classic-greek oriented, as he lived with his godly parent for 11 years.

Re: [CHB] OOC 1: The Revival
Erm...So, we're describing our characters for Jason now?
Also, GDM, should Ty find Chiron or Mr. D, or should I redact my most recent post and just get him to breakfast with the others?

Re: [CHB] OOC 1: The Revival
Well, that's kind of why I asked you about it: I'm not entirely clear on how to play either of them, and regardless, I wasn't sure if it'd be something that they'd already know about or not. I guess I should've chosen my words to be more precise, sorry.

Hey Sabeki, how smooth does Lust make Andy's skin? Are there any visible effects of that?

Pretty smooth. Think like cephalopod tentacles w/o the pods.
And it is noticeably smoother and shiny.The statement below is true

Re: [CHB] OOC 1: The Revival
So annoyed at the sudden escalation, I almost posted this just now:
Spoiler[Drama! At the PAVILION]
Ty listens passively to the discussion unfolding and the outbursts that follow each depressing revelation. Finally, his own temper starts to rise, and he growls, "OK, I get it: we've got issues with each other. Now, for the love of Bellerophon, can we please put all this on the back burner for a few minutes and just eat our dang breakfast in peace?"
Don't get me wrong, I love some good emotional character development, but this early on? I think it's a bit soon to expose so much conflict like this. We're seeing a similar problem in the Sanctum scenario, and I don't want to see it spread here as well. Can we try to lighten up a bit and give these inner demons some time to simmer while we work on our first major quest? Please? [/angryrant]

Re: [CHB] OOC 1: The Revival
OK, I feel bad now, so I'mma say it once again: I don't mind juicy conflict, especially if it leads to good development, and Jason's story will make for some great player-to-player interaction. I just think it was made public a bit soon. If Fel (the character) has a serious issue with Jason's past actions, it makes sense that she'd confront him about it, but I'd think that she'd do so in private to avoid making this kind of scene and upsetting the other campers, you know?
For clarity, one more time: this wasn't bad, but I think it blew up way too soon in the grand scope of things, and that's what bothered me so much.

Re: [CHB] OOC 1: The Revival
I love conflict, if only because it makes interesting stories. A conflictless story would be like Monty Kensicle's The Littlest Elf.
I think him coming in was perfect. Unfortunately, I didn't have a character to react to it. (However, I wouldn't have put a character in there anyway; there was already too many characters together, and I dislike having too many characters in the same spot.)Favorite sports:
Fencing
Football (Soccer)
Figure Skating
