Since Skylar had brought nothing to camp -- she hadn't even known she was going to camp until now -- she decided that she could pick a bunk in her cabin later.
Skylar should have been excited to be at a camp for demigods, but instead, she felt a little lost. She didn't know what to do now. Skylar was sure this place didn't have your typical subjects. And that was one of the only things she was good at. School. Work.
But there were different things to learn here too, right? How to use a sword, how to fight, language classes... Right now, Skylar stood in the middle of the clearing, her eyes stormy gray with thought. Some of the cabins looked too old, like the Hermes cabin. They needed remodeling. Perhaps she could make a model and propose her idea to the camp head?
It was now morning time, and campers were starting to get out of bed. Skylar had only arrived earlier that morning, before dawn. |

Zeke stepped out from the Minor Gods Cabin in a little cranky mood. When Zeke is in a cranky mood, people tend to get hurt. Now, he had his sights set on a girl standing in the middle of the clearing. She seemed quite unfamiliar to him so, naturally, she was the best target. Oh, how Zeke hated mornings.
"Hello," he said, kindly. "Are you new here?" Oh, yes. He was going to have fun with this one. Zeke grinned as if he'd just found a new toy... and he knows he'll need a replacement by tomorrow. "Shall I show you around?" Zeke knew she was older than him. He could see that in her face. She seemed clueless as to where to go and was not used to this feeling. Yet, she also seemed to stand in the middle of the clearing and studied her surroundings as if wanting to change everything about the Camp.
Judging from how she studied the cabins in particular with stormy gray eyes, Zeke would guess she was either a Zeus or an Athena.

(It's Hinamori!!! OMGGGG!!!!!)
Tina had happened to be walking across the camp. She was...almost lost. The girl had just caught sight of the Demeter cabin and was immensely relieved. She began to hurry toward it in fear of someone stopping her to talk. That was when Zeke and Skylar came into view.
Tina didn't like Zeke. Even though he smiled an everything, he had that cold look in his eyes. He wasn't being modest. He just wanted to play around with a person's feelings. The other girl she had no idea who she was. She hoped she didn't find out. Tina was too shy to talk to them. She would probably panic and go mute. So she tried to sneak past them...

Probably the second Zeke stepped into Silver's line of view the air around her crackled. Taking a deep breathe she fought the urge to zap his head off before he went and messed with the new girl. Who by her gaze seemed Athena. The stormy eyes a different shade than the gray her eyes got, not that you could tell with them being electrifying blue right now.
Naturally Silver would've glared at the new comer, but lately she had been too busy physiologically to care. Her physiological health having nothing to do with Zeke. But the fact the day had recently passed usually leaving her in a calmer state. Which was fortunate for the campers who now were awaiting her explosions once more. Crystal clear sword staked into the ground she contemplated chucking it at the boy who she strongly hated.
But then a small figure caught her attention. Making her calm slightly and forget Zeke, a smile forming slightly. Sure she had seen the girl, Tina scared before. She had caused the face. But the look in her eyes Wgen she spotted Zeke made her want to burst out laughing. Walking up to the girl she said in a icy voice to Zeke "I don't think she wants to be bothered" not smiling at the girl she said in a perfectly level voice "Silver, daughter of Zeus. I'm not here to tour you around." the last part added in annoyance. She honestly would avoid spending more than 30 minutes with a person if she could.

(Yes, it is!) Skylar blinked away her concentration as Zeke walked towards her. She hadn't expected someone for a while. Skylar felt better as he offered to give her a tour. He would be her first friend here. But she didn't want a tour right now. Skylar was still onto her idea, and wanted to think about it more. She needed something to write it down with...
"Um, thanks, but er, I, uh, I don't really...I don't really want a tour right now," Skylar stammered out. She had no idea if that sounded offensive. "Um, thank you! For asking, I mean." Skylar added the last part quickly. She must sound very awkward right now, she realized. And Skylar realized that she must have sounded like she agreed with Silver, the girl who had just walked up. It didn't seem like the two got along well.
A flash of blonde hair caught Skylar's attention, and she peered over Zeke's shoulder to see a young girl briskly make her way to a cabin. Skylar hesitated on whether to call for her to say hello{I'm saying hello because I know that Mat t's{just in case} censored 'h i'.}, but it looked like that the girl didn't want to be disturbed.
Her gray eyes flickered to Silver as she replied, "Nice to meet you guys. I'm Skylar, daughter of Athena." [/size] |

(Haha, wow. Four characters in the first four posts! That has to be some kind of record, doesn't it? Now get out, I was here first! Shoo! XD jkjk stay... it's much more interesting that way....)
"No, tour? You sure? C'mon, one camp tour, on the house," Zeke joked as lightheartedly as he could manage without breaking down and flinging an ice shard at someone. Hearing Silver, he turned to find her behind him. "Silver, hello. How are you, today? Now, could you leave me alone? Or would you rather me spend some time with you, hm?" he said in a highly annoyed tone. Zeke couldn't stand the Daughter of Zeus. Too much of an... ah... electrifying personality, if you'll allow the joke.
Still, he'd kept up with the charade thus far. He wasn't about to let Silver stop it. Then, seeing Tina walk by, he grinned. "Tina Skye, isn't it?" he asked, waving. "Don't be shy. I won't bite... much." Smiling warmly, a stretch for the child of the god of winter, he waved her over, hoping she'd be too shy to protest.
Flashing Silver a glare Skylar could not see, he turned his head back to Tina and kept smiling, awaiting her to walk over. Please... please just shut up and be a good little Tina. Just play along. Don't speak up. Don't protest. Just shut up and act like we're friends. It'll be fun! he thought. The last part he said in his mind as if the Daughter of Demeter could actually hear him. But, thankfully, she could not. Once someone entered Zeke's head, one would go insane.

Tina jumped as Zeke's voice called out her name. She tried not to let out a squeek, which happened when she was startled. She turned around, meeting his eyes. They were obviously forced niceness. That made her nervous, he was planning something. But she went up to him slowly. There were people watching, she didn't want to seem rude. It wasn't like she could say that she was busy, she was a new camper, after all. Tina couldn't bolt like she wanted to, people would find that odd.
Tina slowly walked up to them. She stopped at a comfortable distance from them for her. Silver was there too. The intimidation from both Zeke and Silver was immense. At least it wasn't pointed at her... She looked over at Skylar, who she didn't know. She wanted to give a greeting, but she was mute with shyness.

Silver rolled her eyes at Zeke completely ignoring his tone but replying in a cool intimidating voice.
"Really, I came here to be with you? No, you're not stupid enough to even attempt being around me for long. So if anybody should go it's you. Before something becomes intensely electrifying," the words clear of her hatred towards the boy. But she never thought of him more than necessary for kill plotting, so her attention went on the new girl, Skylar. "I knew you were Athena, you're eyes were too focused and thoughtful to be anybody else. You're grey is concentrated." her voice a level cool as her electrifying eyes flashed a stormy grey before flashing back at the sound of Zeke's voice.
In her normal cool and calm voice she greeted the little girl "Hello Tina. Don't worry about Zeke. He won't beable to do anything to you," her voice edging a threat as if saying Mess with her and you'll be paralyzed boy... her eyes a cold blue as she glared at Zeke. Yes, she has had the same thought process before. The act reminding her of her attempt to be kind ohh so long ago. And naturally it made her want to laugh. How late was he? She discovered diception years ago and learned how to use it at the right moment.

Zeke sighed. "Silver, how dare you?" he laughed. "I would never do anything to Tina, here. She's far too kind to make me mad. Unlike a certain daughter of Zeus who just happens to be making my fingers a little cold..." he said, indicating ice crystals that were beginning to form on the tips of his fingers. The air around them dropped in temperature as a cold breeze blew through, but it warmed back up just as quickly. It was a mere warning. He knew Silver wouldn't take it in normal circumstances, but this time Tina was present. He may not be a straight-A student, but he was still smart enough to know Silver wouldn't fight him with Tina beside them. He hated Tina - as he did most people - but he was glad the little brat was around. It actually helped in this instance.

"Yes, you are correct," the daughter of Athena told Silver. "And you are Zeus?" It was obvious from her interesting word choice. Skylar wondered what Silver's last name was. After all, Silver was a pretty uncommon name. But by the tension in the air, Skylar could tell that now was not a good time to ask.
Skylar shifted uncomfortably. Even though everything was friendly -- minus Silver, that is -- Skylar felt like a fight was going to break out soon. She cautiously took a small step back from Silver and Zeke. Skylar didn't really understand why Silver was being so rude to Zeke. Zeke actually seemed like...well, a gentleman.
Skylar decided that Tina was the safer choice out of the three. At least she hoped that the innocent-looking girl wouldn't suddenly evolve into a giant monster. Skylar was still new to this demigod thing, so she didn't really know what everyone could do.
"So, um, Zeke, who is your parent? Godly parent, I mean," Skylar asked, noticing the ice. "And you, Tina?" [/size] |

Zeke smiled, mentally cursing himself for making the ice so obvious. "I'm... Boreas. Minor God. Doubt you've heard of him. God of Northern Winds and Winter." he smiled. "Don't worry, my heart isn't too cold..." It was the truth. He couldn't have a cold heart... he didn't have a heart at all. Okay, maybe a small one... but it wasn't about to grow three sizes that day like the good ole Grinch.
He waited for Tina to reply. Maybe she would be too intimidated by him to utter a sound. Maybe he would have to speak for her. Oh, he hoped not. It was already enough to bear talking to Skylar as it was. Then, there was Silver right beside him. He was not about to talk for Tina.

"Oh, Boreas!" Skylar recalled her Greek and Roman unit in seventh grade. "Boreas is the god of the north wind, also the god of winter, which would explain why you can control ice," Skylar noted.
{Got info from: www.theoi.com/Titan/AnemosBoreas.html}
Skylar wondered if Athena kids had any powers, other than being intelligent beyond comprehension. Maybe it depends on who you are. Skylar didn't feel the least bit magical, so she probably didn't. [/size] |

Tina blinked and shivered at the drop in temperature that quickly heated up again. Why were all the kids in the minor gods cabin so...icy? Tina fidgeted nervously at the conversations. Obviously Silver and Zeke didn't like each other. She looked between Silver and Zeke. Silver she just found naturally intimidating, but there was something...off about Zeke. It was like there was a devil hiding inside him and smiling at her from within. (Like Ichimaru Gin from Bleach! XD)
Tina wanted to run. She remained silent and tiny looking, like prey that thought if they were still, they would go unnoticed. She almost jumped as Skylar asked a question. "D-demeter." She could barely be heard, but at least she was loud enough to be heard this rme.

Zeke turned to Tina, smiling warmly. So the twerp decided to speak up. Good for her but it better not go to her head. If she starts talking about Zeke's true personality to Skylar... well... it all goes downhill from there. Zeke was going to have fun with Skylar. Oh, yes. He was going to have some fun, indeed.
"So, Skylar. You're the daughter of Athena, huh?" he said with slight admiration. Imagine the possibilities Zeke would have with the brain of a child of Athena. Oh, the chaos. Alas, he'd settle for Boreas. There were plenty of things he could do with him. He could control temperature, wind, AND ice. There were limitless possibilities. Endless numbers of ways to torture the poor souls of Camp Half-Blood. Hm... maybe Zeke was Hades's kid, instead. Nah... too coldhearted to be Hades's offspring.
If Skylar is daughter of intelligence, why hasn't Skylar picked up on me, yet? he thought. Then, he realized she was a geek. She hadn't socialized enough to be able to tell when someone was lying.

Tina looked around nervously. She didn't like the way Zeke talked. It was creepy...as if it didn't match him. Tina was a shy person, so she had studied many conversations from afar. She had learned to pick up the slightest hostility from a person.
