The Summer and Winter Solstice


Dear Visitor,

Welcome to the Winter and Summer Solstice. If do not wish to know the true horrors and wonders life can bring, I suggest you run away as fast as mortally or even immortally possible. There I warned you. Now on to business.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Do you suffer from dyslexia and ADHD? Do you have a friend that has a walking problem and wears long pants everyday? Do you constant monsters trying to kill you? Do you have unexplainable “powers” or unusual “happenings”? Do you only have one blood parent? Congratulations! You’re a half blood. A demigod, just like Hercules, Jason, and Perseus. Your friend with the walking problem will guide you safely to Camp Half-Blood where all demigods come to train to become heroes. When you first arrive you are undetermined, your immortal mother or father has not claimed you yet. Mr. D., Dionysus, the camp director, is there to greet you unenthusiastically. Chiron, the activities director is also there to schedule your activities. These activities will help you train to become a hero with glory. As you train you will get determined and then you bear the burden of holding up your immortal parent’s reputation. You might be the son or daughter of Hermes, Dionysus, Demeter, Hephaestus, Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Athena, Ares, or Hera. You might even be Big Three material. Zeus, Poseidon, or Hades. If you are from one of the Big Three then the others will have to bow down to you. Chiron will give you a quest if the time is right. You will earn your glory if you succeed your quest. Your immortal parent will be proud because you gave them honor. As a hero, you will have a peaceful afterlife in Elysium. You might not succeed your quest and bring shame. It’s a dangerous world outside of the camp’s boundaries. You must swear on the river Styx that you will not turn to the titans. Dare I say it, may the gods go with you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Do you seek revenge for being wrongfully accused of doing something you did not do and then having your loved ones being taken away? Were you punished for a long time in exile? Do you have the skill to give the closest shave in the world? Has a loved one killed themself because you were gone? Do you feel the need to sing about everything? Then you must feel like Benjamin Barker, a.k.a. Sweeney Todd. Poor thing. You meet someone who knows about your past and was a friend to the loved one you lost. Your old friends have been untouched by time hidden away before you were taken away, glistening. You try to live an innocent life. Another person recognizes your barber talent and your past of being arrested. They try to blackmail you so you kill him off. The person you met has an idea of how to dispose of the body. Make famous meat pies out of them. You see that the world is filled with horrid people and that they all deserve to die. Even yourself. You open a barbershop and when people come in for a shave, you slit their throats and send them to be grinded into meat pies. You lose the thing that matters most to you while doing so.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Life is cruel. Life is wondrous. You can choose the way life is. If you wish to learn more about fate, continue on. Will you become a hero or do you have the need for revenge?

Yours Truly,
Lumiere Anahid
Daughter of Hades
Assistant Camp Director
Currently: Seeking revenge…


Camp Half-Blood plot is owned by Rick Riordan

On a Brighter Note


Well I hope you enjoyed that little letter up there. This is a seasonal shop. It will only be open during the Summer and Winter Solstice times. That's basically when I'm on winter break and summer vacation. I just can't handle shops during school times. I've learned the hard way. I've chosen the Summer and Winter Solstice because the olympian gods gather at those times for a meeting. Have fun with your life.

Welcome to Camp Half-Blood


"So. What makes you think that we have room for you?"

"Now, now, Mr. D. There's no need to be harsh."

"Is it my fault that father forced me to help little half-bloods? No!"

"Stop that. Who's fault is it for chasing the forbidden nymph?"

"Shut up Chiron. Where's your girly assistant?"

"Ahem. Show some respect for your cousin. Your uncle downstairs will be very unhappy..."

"I'm here! Were you two arguing in front of a new camper, AGAIN? I'm sorry camper. These buggers can't stop disagreeing with each other."

"Where were you? Hurry up and get this camper settled."

"Where were you, dear? Mr. D here almost made the camper pee his pants... Always with the haste and harsh, eh? "

"Come on. I'll show you to your cabin."

"I'm coming along to if you don't mind..."

"Feh."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Sorry about that. I'm the assistant activities director, Lumiere Anahid. And this centuar here is Chiron, the activities director. Here at Camp Half-Blood we have twelve cabins to bunk our campers. If you are undetermined then you will stay in Hermes cabin, number eleven. The cabins are arranged in an upside down "U" shape. Lord Hades does not have a cabin because of the gloominess it will bring. As you can see the cabins are decorated to suit their host. The map below will help you better.

Welcome to Fleet Street


These are my friends.
See how they glisten.
See this one shine...
How he smiles in the light.
My friend.
My faithful friend...
Speak to me friend.
Whisper...
I'll listen.
I know, I know you've been locked
out of sight
all these years, like me
My friend...
well I've come home to find you waiting.
Home, and we're together!
And we'll do wonders.
Won't we?

Rest now, my friends.
Soon, I'll unfold you.
Soon you'll know splendors
You never have dreamed
all you days,
my lucky friends
'Til now your shine was merely silver.
Friends, you shall drip rubies, you'll soon drip precious rubies...
AT LAST! MY ARM IS COMPLETE AGAIN!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
And it's filled with people who are filled with s**t
And the vermin of the world inhabit it.
But not for long...

They all deserve to die.
Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett, tell you why.
Because in all of the whole human race
Mrs Lovett, there are two kinds of men and only two
There's the one staying put in his proper place
And the one with his foot in the other one's face
Look at me, Mrs Lovett, look at you.

Now we all deserve to die
Even you, Mrs. Lovett, even I.
Because the lives of the wicked should be made brief
For the rest of us death will be a relief
We all deserve to die.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Is that just revolting?
All greasy and gritty?
It looks like it's molting!
And tastes like...we'll pity.
A woman alone...with limited wind
And the worst pies in London.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


How's that? Feel like eating meat pies? Ew... Is that an eyeball in there? Do you want your own friends? I have plenty to go around. Do you fancy some Ale? Feeling suicidal? How's a sip of arsenic? Or even Pirelli's Miracle Elixer for your hair? -sniff- Smells like piss... Piss with ink...
