Camp Half Blood Campers' Correspondence a Year Later-


[Loretta Graziella to Linus Graziella]

To Papa,

I'm writing you a letter for fun! :heart:

You totally weren't kidding when you said that mom liked color. The kids in my tent are the most colorful people I've ever seen! 1st there's Andwele Birungi who's this older guy who's been here 4eva. They say he's the son of an Ethiopian refugee or something. I don't believe that, but he's got wonderful skin. It's so black, it's blue! Omg, he's blue! And then we've got this smaller girl who's just as new as me, from this Indian reservation and her skin is really red, like sequoia red. So pretty! And her last name is actually Oklahoma. Isn't that amazing? I call her Kimi (her full names Kimimela) and she gets really angry at me all the time because I keep throwing IM speech at her and then she gets made at Andes because he's totally chill about everything and it's really cute XD So we've got the black and blue guy, I'm the olive one, and then Kimi's the Indian red one and we're so awesome. Mom must've just waited until some really hot, awesome skinned guy came around and just jumped him. lol.

Btw, we live in a rainbow tent! They weren't sure where to put us yet because mom always did a lot of stuff for Hera so they thought that maybe we should be connected with her, but there was no way that we'd be allowed in Hera's monument of a cabin :-( so they put us in this huge tent behind her cabin :) It's a huge tent, like one of the tent they get for parties, but with a lower roof (duh) and there're multiple rooms and everything so it might as well be a cabin and it's rainbow and we all get our own rooms and it's really, really cool.

And speaking of my cabin being awesome, Andes totally has a girlfriend! She is soooo cute! Her name's Seraphim Fletcher, but everyone calls her Sara and she's staying in the Aphrodite cabin because she's the only kid of Eros there is right now and she is sooo pretty. She's got this really long red hair and Andes and almost no hair at all and they're really cute. They're not official yet, of course, but they are sooo together and it's sooo cute XD She is so nice :heart: She lets me into the Aphrodite cabin all the time and all the kids in the Aphrodite cabin love me because I can call people for free thx to mom so as long as they're rly nice to me I set up some calls for me. I should start a business, don't cha think? lol.

The camp is sooo awesome. There are soooo many kids here and they're all pretty young. Kimi's like, only 12 or something. They've been bringing some really young kids in because Percy Jackson, the super hero kid, told gods they had to claim all their kids and once the kids are claimed, all the monster dudes know about them so we had to get them to camp as fast as possible which was why that goat guy was all like 'omg, let's go!' when he found me. A lot of the satyrs are out demi-god hunting 'cause there's so many to find. Some of the campers have been out looking for demi-gods during the school year, but now they're asking some of the older demi-gods to look for the kids while the younger ones get to train. They've got returnee demi-gods as teachers this year and they're all awesome! There aren't any in our tent 'cause 3 is probably the most kids mom's had at one time in a WHILE, but this whole bunch of them got into camp today, the rest of showing up tomorrow, and it made me lol that there were almost not Apollo and Aphrodite returnees and I asked this one girl why there weren't any and she said 'why the heck would they come back?' and I was like 'lol, true' 'cause I'm sure they have acting careers or something to pursue. There are definitely a few of them back, though, 'cause there are like, sooo many of them now. There's like, 12 in Apollo's cabin right now and there's probably the same number of Aphrodite kids. It's cool 'cause some of the returnee kids weren't sorted while they were here 'cause their parents didn't claim them so it's really cool to see grown up kids that aren't part of the main cabins. One just got in that was a Helios kid and the Helios kids all got really excited. That was also the same day that they found out that Apollo gave the Sun back to Helios so they were quadruple excited. It was sooo cool. (lol, Apollo stole the Sun from Helios.)

:heart: u, pops! Talk to you tonight!

Love Lori!
