Rise and shine, everyone! At 7:00 AM on the dot, those who are asleep will be roused from their slumber by the sound of a bugle call. It seems that breakfast is now served in the Mess Hall. How nice! It's up to you to decide if you want to continue sleeping or not... But maybe it's a good idea to grab a bite and explore your surroundings. After all, it looks like you'll be here for a little while. Regardless of what you do, be sure to check the weather before stepping outside. You never know when you might need an umbrella! Once you're up and at them, though, there are a few points of interest this week. If you swing by the Director's Office, you will find Black Shadows manning the receptionist's desk or flitting in and out of the rooms down the hallway. This week's tasks are now available, and you can check them out on the announcement board in the waiting room. Should you visit the Camp Shop, Purple Heart will be handling all transactions at the checkout counter. Even camp directors hold down normal jobs, you know. Strangely enough, Winter Wizard doesn't seem to be stationed at any set location. Maybe it's their week off? Oh, well. Seems like if you want to get ahold of them, you'll have to pay your respects to the bunnies. Finally, though all seems normal at first glance... You will quickly realize something is wrong the moment you start interacting with other people. Or, more specifically, once you come in physical contact with them. For the rest of the week, anyone who makes skin-to-skin (or whatever counts as skin, for the non-humans) contact with someone else will find themselves in a bit of a sticky situation. Whatever body parts touched will be stuck together for the next hour, with no way to separate them. Try not to create additional points of contact while trying to cheat your way out of this situation, yeah? That would be unpleasant, for each spot will last an entire hour. Good luck.

It's kind of one of those things you have to really experience at least once. [He says in a way that isn't at all biased. But Dimitri can watch the flames while Percy's busy with marshmallows, it's fine.]

I've heard a few rumors about that. Doesn't hurt to see what the rewards will be, right? [The marshmallow's rotated so it doesn't burn on one side, and he doesn't seem to mind sharing at all.] Our camp was...pretty similar to this one. We had a dining pavilion, all of our cabins were arranged the same way, we had a bunch of different buildings for different activities. Stuff like that. But it was a training camp. Most of the campers were only there for the summer, but some of us lived there year round. I live pretty close by, so I live outside of the barrier and head back whenever they need me for something.

[overruns]

[ Most of that sounds pretty straightforward, but as with everything there's a few odd details that stick out. ]

It must be a strange sort of training that you all do if it requires a barrier.

[hydrogenetic]

The barrier's to keep the monsters out and keep us from being seem by other people. [Just. Equally straightforward.] Most of our training is to prepare us for quests we're called to later.

[overruns]

[ that's... concerning, percy. it's concerning. ]

If you had to deal with monsters, I assume these 'quests' were not always pleasant work.

[hydrogenetic]

That'd be a correct assumption, yeah. It's whatever the gods didn't feel like doing themselves most of the time, or prophecies we needed to fulfill.

[overruns]

The whims of heaven and fate... [ that much he understands, even if they're not from the same era. ] It seems these gods put quite a burden on you.

[hydrogenetic]

It's their favorite thing to do, but I guess that happens when you're family.

[overruns]

[ ?? cue surprise. he may not have like, televisions or marshmallows in his world, but he certainly knows godhood. ] Are you saying you are a god yourself?

[hydrogenetic]

Uh. Half? [Ahah.] My dad's a god but my mom's...y'know. Normal.
