Cascade stumbled, but easily caught her balance. After Jeremy left, she wondered if she should as well. It wasn't like she really paid close attention to where she should go if they'd told her. The pain in her ankle was excruciating, but it was nothing compared to the usual. Ushering Nike and Julien forward with a swift hand motion, she nodded in acknowledgment at Julien, as if saying she was okay and he could go if he wanted to.

Julien turned to Cascade with worry in his eyes. "Rest," he told her, hoping she would obey. "The Hermes cabin is where your supposed to be... for now..." he added the last part as an afterthought, remembering what Cascade had told him about her parental suspicions. "My cabin is always open, as well, if you need anything. It's pretty empty in there with just me and Tina and I'm sure she could use a friend or someone," he grinned, knowing the two could become good friends under the right circumstances. "Or, you can follow us... if you really are up to it... but I'd recommend rest. After all, you've gone through the tour once, already."
Turning to the door and Nike, Julien began to walk out, beckoning for the new demigod to follow. "This," he said, spreading his arms, "is Camp Half-Blood. It was created for half-bloods like us." He figured that was a good start, and he would need to take things slowly. Again, for the second time that day, he wished he could use his powers as a demonstration and as proof that what he was about to say was true.

Nike followed Juilen out of the Infirmary, giving a small wave to Cascade as she left. 'Demi-god? Like half god half-' she cut off unsure of the correct term. Hmmm... She thought a minute.'Human! In the Greek mythology the gods went around acting as humans and interactin with them.' Nike remebered. She was suddenly proud f herself fr being so smart.

Cascade slept on the cot, not wanting to go to the Hermes cabin just yet. Perchance she'd find Chiron by the end of the day...
(Leaving thread. :3)

(Bye bye! xD)
Julien nodded, continuing to walk towards a set of cabins. "Yep, and here we are - the results of their... ah... interactions," he grinned. "That wasn't Greek Mythology, it was a biography of the lives of the gods, or so it was in my opinion. Camp Half-Blood, a safe haven for half-bloods - demigods being the politically correct term, but we just call ourselves half-bloods, mostly." Pointing to the cabins, he said, "Each of those represents a different god or goddess. The large ones in the middle are Zeus's and Hera's cabins where their children stay, though Hera doesn't have any kids." He hoped he didn't explain things too quickly without pausing to let things sink in. After all, most would think he belonged in an insane asylum if they heard him talking about the Greek gods in present tense.

Nike was taki everything in with easy. It'd always been easy for her, because she simply liked learning. Her grey eyes lightened at the thought of the gods actually being real. Just fascinating, and weird. Hmmmm... She kept thinking on the subject but listened to julien as he continued.

Julien resumed after he decided he'd given Nike sufficient time to take in what he'd just said. Continuing his tour, he said, "The cabins off to the side of Zeus are, in this order, Poseidon, Ares, Apollo, Hephaestus, Hermes, and Hades - you'll be staying in the Hermes cabin until your parent has claimed you." Pointing to the other side of the cabins, he added, "And on this side of Hera, we have Demeter - my cabin, with Demeter as my mother - Athena, Artemis - who lets her Hunters stay in her cabin since she doesn't have any actual kids - Aphrodite, Dionysus, and the Minor Gods cabin. We don't have enough room to make a cabin for each Minor God, so we built a cabin for all the minor gods. There are currently three residents in it, all of which I would stay away from... except Nick... he seems nice, though he hasn't been here for long enough to know for sure." Julien was very suspicious of all new Minor Gods campers because Zeke was cruel as he knew Seline could be, as well, though he saw her more as a nice camper who just tries to keep everyone away though, for what reason, he doesn't know for sure, yet. "And that's the cabins!" he smiled, brown eyes shining.

Nike nodded noticing something thAt looked failure above the door frame of the Athena cabin. She pulled her necklace from under her shirt. It had 2 charms, a silver N and a gold owl. 'My charm matches the door frame.' Nike breathed. She was gazing between the cabin and her charm awed.

(Just using this account, for right now... xD)
Julien nodded, wondering if this was more than coincidence. "Tell you what, why don't we hurry up and finish this tour and these explanations and you tell our Activities Director - Chiron. This might be important and not just a coincidence. There are other ways to determine who your parent is other than them claiming you. My grandparents told me who my mother was, for example."

(I think I'll end this in this post, unless you want to continue. After all, you started the thread, so you can decide when to end it. I just don't want to go through the entire tour when nothing important happens.)
"Well, over there is the Big House," Julien grinned, pointing to the large farmhouse. "That's where the god Dionysus lives along with Chiron. Most people around here just call Dionysus 'Mr. D', though, so there isn't any need for saying his name in private talk... though it would probably be best to address him as 'Lord Dionysus' while in his presence or you could end up as a dolphin." He added the last part with a laugh but his eyes were serious, telling Nike what he said was true. He quickly went on to finish the tour, showing the new demigod where everything was and what it what it's purpose was, as well as some tips on how to survive life at Camp.

Nike nodded listening to all of it.'Okay, thanks.' she said and started to walk off.'Exactly what cabin an in??'she asked. To e honest she was unsure of where to go. She didn't want look stupid. That would be a huge embarrassment. She turned around waiting for juilens answer.

Julien pointed to the Hermes cabin, the one always taking in the unclaimed. "That one, the Hermes cabin," he said. Lowering his hand, he slipped it into his pocket, the other in his other pocket. "Until we can determine who your godly parent is, you'll stay there with the other unclaimed... as well as the actual children of Hermes. He's the god of travelers so he takes in anyone that needs a place." Pausing, he added, "He's also god of thieves so watch your belongings."

Nike thanked him and headed off to the cabin. Her hand curling around the iPhone she carried in her pocket. God of thieves?? How long would she be in there. Something told her not long as if her godly parent was waiting for the right moment. Oh joy.
