*Perfect! I'll start, then.*

Standing at the entrance to camp Half-Blood, stood a tall teenage girl, maybe 15 or 16. She had long bright red hair, with green tips, and she was dressed in a grey shirt, full of rips that looked suspiciously like claw marks. She had a black leather jacket, and ripped jeans, not ones that were store-bought ripped, but really ripped, like she had been through something horrible. Her shoes, black platform boots, were muddied and covered in what looked like blood. On her right hand, there was a long scar, one that looked years old. She had on a backpack full of her only belongings, which included her personal journal and her phone. She looked nervous and tired.

 an enormous girl wearing a jacket with some burn marks is leaning against a tree nearby, a large hammer rests beside her. she waves

"hey"

 The girl looks over, surprised. 

"W-who are you?! Is... Is this Camp Half-Blood? And... Is it really safe?"

 "I'm Samantha, this is camp half-blood, and its safe as far as I know. who're you?"

 "Oh!" (The girl regains her composure) "I... I'm Aria. But most people call me Blade.... Because... Because..." (The girl looks away, seeming... Almost ashamed of something.) "Anyway ... I heard this is a safe place for people who are like me."

 "blade hunh?" she raises her eyebrows "well, if you're a demigod, its mostly safe. monsters cant get in anyways"

 The girl sighs in relief, and walks closer to Samantha.

"Can... Is there somewhere I can sleep? I... I'm very tired."

 "I can find you a tent, if you'd like. maybe a sleeping bag too"

 She nods, and walks up to Samantha.

"Please, can you?"

 "'course" she turns and walks toward the big house "you been briefed yet?"

 She looks confused... 

"What do you mean, briefed?"

She starts to look nervous, looking around and walking backwards very slowly 

"I shouldn't even be here!"

 "whoa there, what do you mean?" she turns to face her

 She shakes her head fast and looks behind her.

"What if... What if I brought it here?! No, no no no no I'm so stupid, what if I bring that thing here?"

She looks at Samantha 

"I need to leave. Now."

 “They truly are… Britain owned practically half of everything at one point… oh, perhaps this Dis-Nee is a movement orchestrated by Britain to retake the United States… King George the third has been playing the long game.”

 "Oh! I believe the United States and Britain consider themselves allies now, actually! And theres currently a Queen there! Elizabeth the Second! Ive heard shes been around a very long while!" *She doesn't know she died yet LOL*

 “How bizarre… and another Queen? My, my, I’ve seen what Victoria did, How many foreign nations has this one tried to take over yet?”

*i mean, if Nero can survive 2,000 years, who knows what’s going on with the Queen-*

 "Im... Unsure. Im not exactly the best at keeping up with human politics. I haven't heard of any, though, so if she has invaded any, it hasn't concerned people in Hawaii too much. Thats... About the only olace I fully know the history of how its ruling passed"

 “Hrm… I’ll ask some campers about that. Has anything interesting happened in Hawaii?”

 "Well.... There is a long history there, filled with many interesting tales of the kings and queens, but also the more recent addition onto the United States has a complex story, as well! Though parts of that are certainly more upsetting, with the greed and coercion involved in parts..."

 “Oh, it sounds quite interesting. If you’re willing to tell, I’d love to hear about it.”

 "Sure! Ill start with King Kamehameha!" She begins explaining the history of Hawaii, from King Kamehameha uniting the islands as one kingdom, to white businessmen forcing the bayonet constitution, to the eventual voting of the hawaiian people to become a state after many years of being an annexed territory

 She listens closely, asking questions or making jests about the story as it goes. Once she’s done speaking, Elizabeth pauses. “How interesting indeed… It seems the United States definitely adopted the habit of taking over every piece of land in their sight from the British.”

*hey Chris, have any ideas for Elijah yet? Just checking :>*

 *A couple! 

- Found a Barbie/Princess doll in his room

- Heard him singing a song that has the word 'damn' in it

- He 'took the Lord's name in vain' (he was asking a normal question a child would ask that was about god, and his dad got mad)*

 *ooh yes I could definitely use some of these, thank you for your help*

 *Np!! Always happy for some minor evil brainstorming>:)*

 *if you have any other ideas, I’m open to hearing them, you’re ideas are awesome*

*I’m currently leaning towards the second idea you proposed, but the way I have set up the cutscene will make it a bit weird so I’ll have to modify it I think. It’s basically Elijah’s dad coming home from work, already angry at Elijah for something he had found out earlier in the day, presumably while Elijah was at school. So maybe idea 1 then*

 *lets try the new one, Nenna!*

 Nennacktus is sat on the porch of the Hepheastus Cabin, carpenters pencil in hand as she draws out blueprints for an engine

(The girl in question is about 5'4 with layers of clothing smeared with grease and stains, thick gloves, and heavy boots. Her hair is shaved on the sides and short on the top, a nice tinge of green through out it, goggles resting on her hairline. She looks like she belongs in a mechanic shop or a forge, a clear engineer.)

 Harvey, walking by,  looks over her shoulder. “…what’re you makin’?”

Both the histories they and she taught me, and the stories of the modern days, passed between them through the spirit of aloha there. So while on a large scale societies may be blind... There are places within that know and share truth together"

 "No no no this THING was different. Worse. Something, not a regular monster."

*Chain cut pls*

*cut with Chris*

Elizabeth smiles. “That is warming to hear, that there are some lights in the dark of this world. I would love to meet Iolani eventually. From the way you describe her, she seems wonderful.”

Quote from Capatin_Crunch >>

*cut w/ silver*

"look. I cant say I've encountered many monsters, just one in fact, but ive been doing research. there are no ordinary monsters. even khaos couldn't get in unless someone let her. you are safe here:"

 She falls to the ground, sobbing. 

"Then clearly, I'm just weak. I let it... I couldn't stop it... It killed her... She died to help me...

I failed."

 "The most wonderful person I have ever met.." She smiles as well, looking down as she twists her ring on her finger "And as soon as I find what she has lost... Ill make sure you get an opportunity to meet her. When I... When I finally see her again.... Gods, its only been less than half a century, yet it feels so long.."
