Aphrodite ❤
wooden cabin with a painted blue roof, checkerboard floors and smells heavily of designer perfume. Piper describes it as "a giant Barbie house where supermodels go to die." Inside: "It is described as a life-size dollhouse with pink walls and white window trim. The lace curtains are pastel blue and green which of course matched the sheets and feather comforters on all the beds. The guys had one row of bunks separated by a curtain, but their section of the cabin was just as neat and orderly as the girls'. Every camper had a wooden camp chest at the foot of their bunk with their name painted on it. The only other bit of individualism was how the campers had decorated their private bunk spaces. Each had slightly different pictures tacked up of whatever celebrities they thought were hot. A few had personal photos, too, but most were actors or singers or whatever.

"I have no regrets" -------------------------------------------------------------------- Devon stepped inside the Aphrodite cabin and looked around. He spotted a bunk towards the back, right next to a window, and smiled as he made his way over, claiming the bed as his own. He set his bag down along side the bed and turned to look out the window, getting a view of camp smugly " I can't wait to get out of here."

 "Yeah? Why's that?"Lyra asked curiously. She examined the new boy carefully as she entered her cabin. Yeah, he was definitely a son of Aphrodite. She walked over to her bed, a few along from his, and pulled out a small hand mirror and a brush from the chest at the foot of her bed, which had the words 'Lyra Halliwell' painted on them. A few strokes into brushing her already flawless hair, she spoke again. "I'm Lyra, by the way. What's your name?"

"I have no regrets" -------------------------------------------------------------------- Devon looked away from the window and to a girl whom he assumed was his half-sister. He hadn't seen her at all when he had entered the cabin and was startled at her sudden talking. " I'm Devon." He studied her carefully before averting his attention to the duffel bag at the side of his bed. Devon pulled the bag up beside him and started to unpack.

 Lyra gave a faint smile, still brushing out her hair. When she deemed that she had done enough of that, she put the brush and mirror away and faced him. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Devon. I'm assuming you're new here, so . . . When did you get Aphrodite's Blessing?" she asked curiously. She realised after a moment or two that she was being nosy, but she was just curious to know - her own Blessing had lasted for just over a week, but they'd been known to last from as little as two days to as long as two weeks. "And you didn't answer my question - why are you so eager to leave?"

"I have no regrets" -------------------------------------------------------------------- Devon carefully put his clothes in one pile along with the camp t-shirts he had received earlier. " Nice to meet you too." Devon wasn't much for manners, but he figured it'd be best to try and make a good first impression. " I got claimed just a couple hours ago. How long have you been here?" Devon ignored her last question and busied himself with organizing his belongings.

Lyra blinked at him, puzzled by the lack of response to her other question. "I see." Well, it'd be interesting to see how long his would last. "I've been here for four years, actually." She frowned at him, biting her lip. She had no idea why he wouldn't answer her question. However, she decided to just leave it alone. It was his business, but she couldn't help but worry why about he would want to leave, especially since he just got here. She shook it off, and made herself content with watching him unpack in silence, just wondering why he wouldn't answer. Maybe he didn't want to be a demi-god? Wanted nothing to do with the magical world? Well, that'd get him killed, unfortunately for him.

"I have no regrets" -------------------------------------------------------------------- Devon picked up his clothes, which were all now in neat piles, and put them in the small chest at the foot of his bed, identical to the others in the cabin. He closed the chest quietly, " Four years? What do you do here anyway?" He'd only seen parts of camp and no one had exactly explained why he was here. The most he got was from the three, rather odd, taxi ladies whom brought him here, and apparently he was in 'danger.'

"Well, we it's sort of like a school, but for demi-gods . . . You know, chariot-racing, armoured combat, volleyball, winged-horse riding, arts and crafts . . . It's fun and all, but it messes up my hair." Lyra shrugged, and began examining her nails. "There's also Capture the Flag games in the forest - mind you, the forest is infested with blood-thirsty monsters, so it's not always easy. A lot of monsters'll want to kill you, anyway, because you're a demi-god. That's why we get brought here, to be trained and not to . . . you know . . . die . . ."

"I have no regrets" -------------------------------------------------------------------- Devon cleared his throat, trying hard not to laugh at what he had just heard. When he saw how serious her expression was his eye brow raised. " Are you serious?" He shook his head and looked around the cabin again. Other than the abundance of mirrors, which seemed to be everywhere, it seemed just like any other camp cabin he'd ever been to. He caught a glimpse of his reflection, grimaced, and ran his hand through his hair trying to straighten out the horrendous mess.

Lyra frowned slightly at his smothered laugh. "Of course I'm serious!" she replied indignantly. She smirked slightly when she saw him attempt to fix his hair. This was what she had liked about Aphrodite's Blessing - for the duration of it for girls, they get transformed into a girl they thought or hoped they would be. The hair and makeup will automatically be done with fashionable clothes, shoes and accessories. For boys, it's a simple matter of being more muscular than before. "Need a brush?"

"I have no regrets" -------------------------------------------------------------------- Devon turned his attention from his messy hair back to Lyra and shook his head. " I'd be just as well off outside of this place. I've done enough to survive so far, haven't I?" His fists clenched. " I don't need to be put in some camp for the mentally insane." His head was throbbing and he sat down on his bed, wiping his palms on his jeans.

Lyra looked at him in disbelief. "No, you wouldn't be. You'd be dead. You've been claimed, and so monsters will be more drawn to you now. There's a protective shield around this place that stops them getting in. Learn to fight well enough and you might be able to go out again." Lyra had to admit it, she was slightly hurt that he thought that the people at camp were insane. "No one here is insane. Much. Who brought you here, anyway? A satyr?"

"I have no regrets" -------------------------------------------------------------------- Devon stopped himself from rolling his eyes. " A what? I don't... think so." Even if Lyra was telling the truth about all these monsters and demi-gods, he didn't think it was necessary for him to be here. It was just another way for his dad to get rid of him to make his own life easier.

Lyra repressed a sigh. Newbie talk time. "Okay, then. Hey, are you dyslexic? Or have ADHD?" She asked these questions as though she was randomly changing the subject, but anyone at camp would know that she wasn't.
