It was warm enough to head to the beach but Percy wasn't feeling like walking all the way into town today. He still wanted to be in the water but the beach meant sand in his shoes and salt water in his eyes. Of course, chlorine wasn't much better but it was closer ( Read more... )

Dave Nelson was a coffee junkie. But he was a nice junkie. (...Who just happened to cut himself a deal with Anakin Skywalker himself with the condition that he share some of the coffee so he could get others hooked. He still thought he was being nice and spreading joy, even though he was keeping a sizable amount of the stuff for his private stash ( Read more... )

Lately, Wesley had handwavily come to the shooting range less and less, so making the plan to teach Percy a bit about marksmanship was a relief in more ways than one: first, he had the opportunity to help someone out, which was always nice if a bit rarer than he'd like, and second, he could practice and let off some steam himself. All in all, it ( Read more... )

Yeah, screw going outside.

Luke was not happy to find that they were yet again in someplace cold when it should be nice and hot 'cause it was July. He hated and was not wanted back at camp but he was a bit nostalgic for Mr. D and his ability to make the weather nice wherever he went. Staying in his room wasn't an option considering his roommate ( Read more... )

It had been a quiet week for Wesley, all things considered. So after his second class of the week on Thursday, he made his way up to the common room and, after briefly pondering the potential things he could do, decided to make eggs. Yes, it was evening, but that wasn't so strange, right? He felt odd, cooped up here, and a part of him was ( Read more... )

The practice dummy made a poor substitute for what he really wanted to be stabbing, to be honest. What he really wanted to be stabbing lived three floors up and had completely turned his back on everything Percy thought he'd face down and get through. He'd put his faith and his belief in the wrong person and it had backfired ( Read more... )

Percy hadn't been able to shake the bad feeling he'd had ever since Luke had left. There was just somethings stirring in the pit of his stomach that was telling him that Luke's trip home wasn't just a normal trip home. He tried to ignore it, forget about it, and trust that this Luke wasn't his Luke but it was getting harder and harder as the days ( Read more... )

Now that Alex was back to being a real boy god, he wanted to resume the interrupted process of getting to know his fellow campers. And he'd never really done the sitting around a campfire singing songs or whatever thing before. Yes, he'd cooked things over a fire before, but that had been, like, antelope while he and his dad had been in Africa. ( Read more... )

Angelica was feeling a lot less skittish than she had a week ago upon arriving in Fandom. Everyone had been so nice, and she didn't have to deal with Empath and Roulette trying to embarrass her in class (even if said classes were very weird). She knew she had to be careful about her powers and making sure she didn't hurt anyone, but making ( Read more... )
