Hy hy hy hy hy hy. Welcome back to Camp Half-Blood. This week we will be starting the actual plot, not just having character introductions. Yes this has a plot! And one thing I forgot to mention last week is that if your character is Roman, I'll believe that now your weapons are imperial gold, unless I am otherwise told. I realized something: We have 3 matchups of parents from Roman to Greek: 1 Hephaestus, 1 Nyx, 1 Aphrodite. OH, and The reason it took longer than what should be usual is because I was lazy and was trying to wait for this one fiction to update: Another Hunger Games SYOT. In addition I managed to cut my finger on a piece of metal in art, so it has a band-aid and it's hard to type. Sorry. But all's well right? So now, without further ado and hopefully no more typos (or is it typoes?) Chapter 3!
Amanda and Megan were washing the dishes in silence. Inside they were still snickering about their prank, but they didn't want the Harpies to see. Eventually their snickering stopped, and they didn't feel quite as happy. Slowly realization dawned on Megan. They did the same thing all the time! Constantly they would sneak out of camp activities, pull a prank, get caught, do the dishes... Megan realized that their life was falling into a pattern. She didn't want to be a computed thing like a pattern. Megan looked at Amanda, who had the same disappointed look on her face. Amanda spoke up and said, "Megan, I don't know why, but I'm sad. I feel like nothing new is happening. But we pull pranks everyday! What could I be feeling?" Megan said, "That's just it! We've been pulling pranks everyday. When are we going to get to do anything?" Amanda shrugged and said, "I don't know, maybe when Percy gets back? We shouldn't have to wait until we're twenty. Leo, Piper, and Jason are going to get him within the year." Megan quickly checked to see if any Harpies were looking, then she stood up on her chair. Megan said, "So, we're waiting while they have their adventure by doing nothing! We're throwing our life away! Life is waiting." Amanda shook her head, "What would we do?" Megan shrugged and said, "We'd go on a quest!" Amanda said, "You are crazy. But suppose that this plan works. Who would go on the quest with you? You still need to find two other people." Megan looked at her funny, "You mean one person right?" Amanda shook her head, "This is just too dangerous count me out." Amanda turned her head away from Megan and continued washing dishes in silence. Megan, upset, returned to washing dishes as well. The rest of the night was silent.
"Remind me again why you want me to go with you?" Bethany said, walking alongside Megan. Megan said, "Well, I need more than one person to go on a quest with me, and you were the first person that came to mind." Megan was lying, but Amanda already said no. Megan continued, "Besides, why should we let Chiron rule our lives? We aren't little children." With that argument, she won Bethany over. Bethany said, "We aren't little children! I can do what I want. You're right, Megan." Bethany continued, "I'll join your quest." Bethany skipped off. Megan smiled. She only had to find one more quest member.
She walked around the camp. Who else would come? She could always ask Bethany's friend Amelia. Megan decided not to, thinking that if Amy said no she could convince Bethany not to go. She could ask Cam. Megan shuddered at the thought of that. She didn't really have anything against Cam, but daughters of Aphrodite remind her of superficial… ness. She could invite Connor or Travis, no they wouldn't go without the other. Katie Gardner: her disappearance would be too obvious. Megan had to find a socially detached camper. She ran through the list of those in her head and came up with her "perfect" answer.
Megan casually walked into the forges. She was very disturbed by the loud noises, so she plugged her ears. She walked over to Kelby. He was busy crafting something undistinguishable by Megan. She ran up to him and said, "Kelby, hey, KELBY! YOU WANNA JOIN MY QUEST?" She had to scream to hear herself. Kelby put down the undistinguishable object nodded to Megan. Megan was surprised, she didn't expect convincing him to be that easy. She smiled at Kelby and said, "THANK YOU!"
Kelby was very confused she just screamed thanks to him. He tried recalling their conversation, to see why she would do such a thing. He began playing the conversation over again in his mind. She had yelled something like, "Help me, hey, Kelby! I'm crazy and need rest." Seeing that she would say that sort of thing to him convinced him of her words. He put down the metal he had been working on and turned towards her. He nodded, and she had a look of surprise on her face. She yelled thanks and ran off. Kelby supposed that she was truly crazy proving her previous statement. He completely forgot about the conversation and went back to forging.
Amanda saw Megan running to and fro around camp. Amanda had a hunch why, but she hoped she was incorrect. Amanda hoped that Megan was not preparing for a quest, but the several objects that Megan was gathering led her to believe she was. Just that day Amanda had seen Megan collect a canister of ambrosia, a canister of nectar, her sword, 3 sleeping bags, and her favorite stuffed animal. Amanda hoped Megan wouldn't go through with her plan, but it didn't seem very likely.
Amy had noticed a bit of a change in Bethany. Usually Bethany wasn't as… happy. But Bethany seemed more cheerful and excited that usual. While Amy was happy about the change, she was slightly confused why. It's not normal for someone to wake up one morning and be all happy go lucky. Amy had asked Bethany about this, but Bethany hadn't said anything and quickly changed the subject. Amy was beginning to worry about her.
Camille saw that Amanda was skeptical. She didn't know why Megan and Amanda weren't sitting together at the campfire. So she asked, being the curious person she is. At first Amanda wouldn't tell her, but Camille annoyed her enough that she spilled the beans. Amanda had said, "I think Megan's planning on sneaking out of camp and going on a quest. It's a really dumb idea, and I told her that. But she wouldn't listen to me." Currently, Camille was replying, "Then you should go after her. Or tell Chiron." Amanda was more skeptical than before, "What if she isn't. Then telling Chiron would be stupid." Camille insisted, "Then follow her!
Well, that 's the end of chapter 2 Greek. I just want to say something: If you don't want to, you don't have to follow the other camp. But your characters will meet up at some point so it is advised! Oh yeah, and I finished the production, Can anyone guess which one it was? Hint: "Shipoopie"
