I bet you didn't expect me to post on Thanksgiving did you? Well, my relatives are over and they all are at least 5 years older than me, so I got bored.

And guess what? Everyone replied. The person it took the longest to get the answer from was actually my sister. She didn't like me today. Some kinks to work out:

I discussed things with Emblem. She is now a senate member, and James's cousin so he feels a sort of connection with her. James wants to be a senate member.

Freaky thing: The "Megan" who sent me Lila is actually my best friend (awkward). I didn't know her email.

Guess what? I have reason to believe that updates will be faster because: #1 It' the school year. I actually motivate myself to do something fun during the school year. #2 I got a computer with word on it! Now I can post without writing it on one computer and then sending it to the next! Happy day!

Heh. Here we go:

Emblem always prided herself on running. Perhaps that was why she was cocky enough to think she could out run Reyna's hounds. Or it might've been her 2nd cohort status. Earlier that day she had attempted to play a prank on the proctor and, of course, gotten caught. Emblem didn't think that Reyna's beasties could outrun her. That's why she basically did whatever she wanted. Her motto is, "Non omnes filii Mercurii fun" which translates to, "Don't let Mercury's children have all the fun." Emblem started laughing uncontrollably when she saw a startled camper watching the chase. The laughing stopped when she realized that the, "startled camper," was James. She knew that she'd get in trouble later.

Lila was moody today. She saw a girl running away from Reyna's hound, laughing. Lila hates laughing. Laughing reminds her of happiness. Lila hates happiness. Happiness reminds her of smiles. Lila hates smiles. Smiles remind her of sun. Lila hates sun. Sun reminds her of flowers. Lila hates flowers. Flowers remind her of lilies. Lila hates lilies. Lilies remind her of her name. Lila hates her name. Her name reminds her of her mom. Lila hates her mom. Lila is overall a pessimistic person. That's why her thoughts were always this stormy. No one knows what put her like this. It could be multiple reasons. #1. She is an orphan. #2 She feels like she is better than her status: 3rd cohort. #3. Her mom hates her. Or #4. Mike steals her cookies at lunch.

Everyone looked kind of oddly at him. Adrian didn't care. He didn't care what other people thought about him, or his choice in friends. So what if he was in the 1st cohort, and his best friend was in 5th. So what? But that probably wasn't why people were looking oddly at him right now. It was probably because of the hang-glider strapped to his back. Earlier he had found out about a large cliff right outside the camp, and, despite it being unsafe, he was going to jump off of it and hang-glide down. Adrian was currently trying to convince Hazel to let him out. Hazel was guarding the entrance and exit to camp, and while Adrian supposed he could always push past her, he was trying to be nice. After a few minutes of that not working, he did shove her aside out of impatience. Hazel hoped that Adrian would come back in one piece. Otherwise she'd get in trouble.

Maya was doing her math homework. She was wondering why in the world she had to do her summer during the school year, just because she didn't have time to do it. She was easily frustrated by the complex word problems that came up first, so she skipped them. She was starting the 3rd question when happy-go-lucky Emblem walked over to her. Maya's first thought was that Emblem outran the hounds. Her second was, "What is she doing?" It was an excellent question, but it was not answered. Emblem spoke, "What ya doing, Mimi?" She sounded like Isabella from Phineas and Ferb. Maya sighed and said, "My math homework." Somehow, Emblem cheered up MORE at that. She said, "Math, like… um… James plus me equals 7th cohort?" Maya sighed again, "Emblem, I will say it again. Cohorts don't work that way." Emblem made a pouty face. She started walking away. Maya sighed a 3rd time, wondering how Emblem became a Senate Member. Sure Emblem was popular among the camp, most of the kids liked her. But isn't there a rule that a Senate Member has to have common sense?

James had seen Emblem running away from the hounds. She knew that she would get in trouble, so she immediately came up with a subject of topic so that he would not give her another one of his speeches. When James started walking towards Emblem. She immediately grabbed the book she had grabbed from her "collection." Emblem didn't even bother to check what the book was, she just said, "Hey, James, can you help me? I'm trying to read this book but dyslexia makes it so hard. I have really short patience so can you read and tell me what happens? Please? I know you have more patience than I do. Thanks!" She immediately ran away after handing him the book. She didn't even wait for his response.

James was annoyed. He had been planning to lecture Emblem again about not messing with Reyna, how pranking is actually BAD, and whatnot. And she had just run off leaving him with a book. He guessed that he should read it, to be nice. James looked down at the book Emblem had left in his hands. He groaned. He questioned why Emblem would want to read such a girly book. "All Girls Wear Tiara's," would be the least likely thing for her to read. He started walking back to the 5th cohort cabin. He might as well start reading. Training was over for the day. War Games had been cancelled due to the flooded field. After about an hour of trying to read the first 10 pages, James gave up and fell fast asleep.

Mike didn't like James. He practically despised him. He seemed too artificial and perfect to Mike. James was calm- something Mike most defiantly was not. But James was a 5th cohort geek son of Vulcan, in Mike's opinion. Mike was a 3rd cohort bully son of Mars. That's why evil plans popped into his mind when he saw what book James was reading.

James didn't expect to wake up in the middle of the night. He didn't expect to be tied to a chair. He didn't expect to be looking into a mirror, seeing a face that was defiantly not his own. It couldn't be his. He didn't wear make-up or a tiara. Suddenly things made sense when he saw Mike's silhouette in the darkness. James sighed (again? Why is there so much sighing?) and said, "Mike, I didn't know you owned make-up and a tiara." Mike grew frustrated at this, and said, "I don't. I borrowed them." James rolled his eyes and said, "Let me guess. You bribed a Venus kid to do this." Mike said, "Yes, but…" There was an awkward silence. James eventually got agitated and said, "Let me go or I'll tell Reyna." Mike pointed out that he was tied to a chair. James grew more agitated and said, "Let me go or I'll tell Reyna later." Mike said, "Reyna won't believe you. She doesn't like you." James replied, "She doesn't like Emblem! She would believe me." Mike laughed and said, "She shouldn't believe you. And she should like Emblem." James was yelling now, "Stop trying to hit on my cousin!" Mike continued laughing, "Why? You can't tell me what to do." James screamed at him, "She isn't a jerk and you are. She isn't like you." Mike was angry now too and said, "I can do whatever I want! You can't tell me what to-" He was cut short by the sound of a footstep. They heard a very, very agitated voice say, "Stop bickering or you'll wake the whole camp up! I swear, if anyone else is awake, I'll tell Reyna that you two are a disturbance to the peace." The person speaking (yes it's a person. Sorry, no disembodied voice) walked over to James and untied him. Up close, he could tell it was Lila. Mike saw her and basically ran. You don't want to run into an angry Lila.

After being untied, James started walking to the 5th cohort cabin. He tried to avoid anyone on his way there, because he couldn't take off the make-up until he got to his cabin. He had hoped no one had seen him, but of course, someone did. But she thought it was kind of cute.

Okay, I was bored. Don't shoot me if you think I used your character wrong. Have fun and I hope that you don't have to spend 8 minutes dancing to Shipoopi like I do. I'm in a production!
