So I posted another chapter---yay! :) I'm not sure if I told you this earlier, but Elsie and Tori are based off a friend and I, and I really think this chapter has some our personality put in here. I'll let you guess which one is which ;D So here you go...and remember, if you read and liked it, review!!


New Camp Half-Blood Restrictions (Cont.)

71) Nico is the son of Pluto, yes, but that is the Roman name for Hades. Hades is in no way affiliated with Pluto, the Disney character.

72) Elsie and Tori may no longer walk around the camp with Harry Potter books, frantically trying to point out to people the similarities between the Harry Potter plot and our life.

73) Putting papers with any writing whatsoever on people's backs is unacceptable, especially as this is a special camp and there are people here who actually would attempt to annihilate the person with the paper on their back if the paper said to.

74) Starbucks is not the holy shrine of Pan, and Elsie and Tori may no longer refer to it as such.

75) Elsie and Tori may no longer force the children of Aphrodite to listen to Marilyn Manson CD's for long periods of time. Or short periods of time.

76) Elsie and Tori may no longer attempt to 'shock' Thalia with static electricity.

77) They may not beg the gods to tell them whether or not Santa Claus is real.

78) Spending an entire afternoon asking various children of Athena impossible questions until they cry, run away, or attempt to kill them, is no longer allowed.

79) They may no longer throw copies of Grapes of Wrath, stolen from the Athena cabin, at Castor or Polydeuces, simply because they have never actually read the book and those books can be rather painful.

80) They may not ask Percy if he has a special affinity with Chiron because "Percy can talk to ponies and Chiron is part pony!" as it is rather insulting to both parties.

81) Elsie and Tori may not concoct various irritating, noisy ways to wake the camp at five-thirty in the morning.

82) And due to the incident involving the above rule, the camp will no longer allow air horns to be carried by Elsie or Tori.

83) They may not follow around Castor or Polydeuces around, begging for grape juice.

84) Or raisins.

85) Elsie and Tori may no longer ask for highly caffeinated, highly unhealthy energy drinks at dinner, if only for the safety of the camp.

86) Though Elsie and Tori's displays of wit and cleverness are always highly treasured around the camp…or something, we hereby ban them from pelting the Demeter cabin with fresh/rotten tomatoes.

87) They may no longer refer to Hestia as the "goddess of cookouts" simply because she is the goddess of the hearth; there is a difference between a hearth and just a campfire and no doubt Hestia would like this to be honored.

88) They may longer interchange Pan with the name 'Pam', like the cooking spray.

89) Elsie and Tori may no longer ask Hades or his children what they think of Pluto no longer being named a planet. (A/N: Pluto is the Roman name for Hades)

90) Introducing Grover or the other satyrs to PETA, under any circumstances, is absolutely, strictly prohibited, for the safety of all satyrs and the rest of the world.

91) They are no longer allowed to attempt to redecorate any of the cabins.

92) Throwing things besides firewood into the campfire is no longer allowed.

93) The word 'things', as used above, is includes all things inanimate and animate.

94) Challenging children of Hephaestus to arm-wrestling matches is no longer allowed and is rather dangerous, with Elsie's two broken fingers as a testament to this.

95) Elsie and Tori may no longer run around camp saying "Harry Potter could totally take Percy".

96) There is no such thing as a "Flying Whazoot" and it does not eat campers who annoy Elsie or Tori.

97) They may no longer play board games, as they have been known to get rather violent when things go wrong or they lose.

98) Spreading rumors that there's "something going on between Percy and Juniper" just to see "Goat Boy freak like a hippie gone rabid" is prohibited. (A/N: That one was for the author 'Unsigned. For Now'!)

99) Declaring Apollo to be the superior cabin and then trying to prove it through a series of camp-defacing, reckless pranks is no longer allowed.

100) Elsie and Tori are no longer allowed to harass the Demeter cabin by trying to force them to sing Veggie Tales songs. (A/N: We've hit 100!!!!!!)

101) Following around various campers, insisting they had a dream where said camper was attacked and devoured, is now prohibited.

102) Constantly making references to that horribly inaccurate, cheesy Disney movie 'Hercules' is now prohibited.

103) They may no longer skip around the camp singing show tunes, as it grates on everyone's nerves.

104) Attempting to ding, dong, ditch a cabin is not only foolish, ineffective, and childish, but now also prohibited.

105) They may no longer attempt to burn all blank paper on the campsite so these lists will not be made.

We would like to take this opportunity to commend the campers with the character and loyalty to report misdemeanors acted out by Elsie and Tori. We would also like to assure the campers whose pillows were contaminated that the rashes wear off shortly and there will be no lasting effects. Thank you and please continue to inform us of new delinquencies.

Chiron and Mr. D

"They've finally lost it," Elsie gaped, staring at the long list in awe.

"They're crazy. Completely and totally insane," Tori echoed, her tone hushed as if just talking of them could bring them forth.

There was a pause as they both eyed the lengthy list with apprehension. Elbowing Elsie in the ribs, Tori asked worriedly, "Do you think we should stop?"

For a moment, Elsie looked hesitant before she shook her head resolutely. "That's what they want, Tori. We'd just be giving in to the Man."

Looking confused, Tori replied, "But they're a centaur and mythological god. If they were a man, it'd be a lot different…"

Elsie rolled her eyes. "A figure of speech they use out there. You need to leave camp more often; you're thinking Greek."

"Whatever," Tori waved. "So we're not stopping?"

"Nope! Hell hath no fury like women scorned…" Elsie quoted, chuckling maliciously, her eyes narrowed.

"But we weren't scorned by a lover…they just don't like our jokes."

"Focus, Tori!"


hey guys! so this is yet another installment in the mini-series about misdemeanors of a camp for children of the gods. this series may be coming to halt, since i've reached rule number 105 and i'm sort of slowing down on the idea bursts. there may be one more chapter, maybe not. i love when you guys give suggestions! unlike another author who uses a similar format to this, though, i will not base all my chapters on review suggestions; they are suggestions and will remain that way. thanks and please keep reviewing! :)
