A young lady groggily marches towards the entrance of camp. For some reason, her family had suddenly decided that it was about time that she'd joined a place for people like her, demigods. The reason why they decided to do it now of all times intrigued her. Sure, monsters had popped up her and there from time-to-time, forcing her to kill them just like how her grandmother had thought her, but she guessed the recent increase of monsters that wanted to kill her was no longer enough for her family to bear.

"This is certainly going to suck." She muttered to herself. Dari had never been a team player, yes, she was extremely loyal, but that doesn't mean she liked working in teams.
After a few more steps, Dari passed an oddly-placed pine tree just as her grandmother had instructed.

Btw english is not my native language so there may occur spelling mistakes, but I'll do my best!

He was tired. No more than he usually was at this time of day, that balance between noon and afternoon. It was just an ordinary day, with an ordinary night with the same lack of sleep. That's the way, is always was. Sometimes he may even go ask the children from the Hypnos-cabin for help, to get a nap without waking up an hour later.
He lies on a small hill, not far from the camp. This means that he can still hear others who train, with their swords, spears and other weapons. All the effort, he is not envious of. And never will be.
"I'd better get something out of the day - Or.... I could lay here until dinner time?"
*With a little smil on his lips, he opens his eyes and and the gaze falls instantly on the clouds above him. Hopefully it won't start raining.*

(( Eh, don't worry, it isn't mine either.))

"Well, since no one seems to notice me..." Dari said with a smile, happy to not be getting any attention. Since she was a child, she always seemed to not be noticed, much to her enjoyment, really.
"From what I remember, granny wants me to go up the hill to look creepily at people...." She muttered to herself before she started walking towards a nearby hill. The climb didn't make her sweat or anything like that, really.
When she got closer, she saw a figure laying on the grass. Though it made her groan, she decided to approach the boy and say hello. It's not like saying hello is going to destroy the world anyway.

Cautiously, Dari walked towards the camper, sitting beside him. "Hey, I'm new here, and I kind of need help to, I don't know what I really need help with, really.".

He was not expecting company. And certainly not from a lonesome girl, who present herselves as new. Normally it would be the satyrs who came and chased him away from the grass or other campers who insisted my company for other things. But not this time. Robert looked at her for several seconds before sitting up. The orange camp shirt would have highlighted the flaming red hair and gray eyes if it wasn't because the open Hawaiian shirt, which made sure to dampen all the redness.
"Oh. In that case ... Welcome to the camp, Mrs. ...?"
He gathers the legs, so that he could hold around his knees in a more comfortable position.

"Not mrs., you're making me feel old." Dari said with a slight snicker. "Anyway, My name is Dari Pablo, don't ask why I have a guy's name. Anyway, just call me Dari." she added with a smirk, accepting the boy's hand and shaking it enthusiastically, or at least as enthusiastically as she can fake.

"Well your name sound quite exotic. Mine is Robert. Or you can just call me Rob. -Or perhaps Jesus..."
His smile became bigger
"...That will work too"
Judging from his smile and kind eyes, it is clear that the last was meant as a joke. Why he chose just that name, 'Jesus', he won't explains any further. After having that said, Robert again looked at the girl to examine her and might be able to guess her god-parent.

"Jesus? I'll take note to call you that." Dari replied with a sly smirk. "Also, I think my name IS foreign, but not exotic, my family doesn't take being called exotic nicely, but I'll let it slide for now." she added, twitching a bit at some parts of her sentence with her smile still intact. "Anyway, nice to meet you Jesus. If I was with one of my old friends, she would glare at you for saying that." Dari added with a snort as she looked at Jesus straight in the eye.
"I presume you're trying to guess my godly-parent?"

While she talks, he keeps his eyes on her, with a little smile. It surprised him a l that she did not ask about the 'Jesus'-name, but he chooses not to comment on it. She will find out sooner or later.
It is only after he has made a small grimace, that Robert devises to seek her eye contact while he leans slightly away from her, just to give her more personal space.
"I try and I fail. You are hard to place, but I can say with certainty that you do not look like a child of Ares. - that was a compliment"

"It seems so." Dari answered with a smile. "Anyway, Jesu-I mean, Robert, I won't tell you my godly parent just to keep you guessing. Here's a hint though, she isn't an Olympian." she hinted, rubbing her hands together to remove the dirt from them before standing up and patting her clothes. "So, are you going to help me or not? My grandmother says this place is supposed to be the lalaland for Greek demigods or something." Dari asked, her face clearly hinting curiosity. I mean, who WOULDN'T be curious of something with someone nagging your ear about it all your life.

Robert can understand that he must guess a female god and as said, one that is not an Olympian. Good. So there are only a few hundred gods to choose from. It's gonna be easy. With that in mind, he gets up. His legs feel more tired than his head now.
"Now, I would not call it a LaLaLand, but it is certainly the best place to be, if you are a demigod. And your grandmother knows about it? Is she also demigod?"
Robert makes a small sign for her to follow him, when he starts walking towards the camp.

Dari follows him close behind, making sure not to trip or something to avoid looking like a klutz. "My grandmother was a nymph, she often went here to visit her nymph friends." she answered with a light shrug. "I wonder if I have to stay in the Hermes cabin...." she said with a murmur, a small smile coming to her lips. Oh how she would love to live there, it would be perfect.

"Oh ... A nymph, hm? Well that explains why you seems so calm about this place. Many newcomers, often needs a few days to get used to the idea of gods, titans and everything in between."
As they come closer to the camp, there starts be to more life around them. Some are practicing fighting techniques if you look to the right, and to the left sits a few Hermes- and Apollo-children talking about tonight's small celebrations around the campfire. Perhaps I should join them later?

Dari eyed the campers who were practice fighting happily, oh how she would love to participate in that later on.
"I can get why, my father didn't tell me until I was three, and let's just say that my puny little head didn't care much until I was six and realized that it was actually really surprising." she said with a snort as she continued to follow him. She looked to the left and saw a few campers talking about something, she didn't know what it was about though. She was curious, but then decided to not act on her curiosity and ask since she was lazy.

Robert sends her just a little wider smile before he stops in the camp's center. He put his hands against hips before he decides to talk again.
"I'm not trained to show people around here in the camp, in fact, you are the first who have asked for my help for something like this. Do you want see cabins? Or should I tell you about the people who live here - who to avoid and when to keep your objects close to the body? Stuff like that?"

"Well, just tell me everything in the order you did just now, I can gobble up a lot of info if I want to." she answered, abruptly stopping since she didn't think he would stop so suddenly.
"Though my grandmother goes here from time-to-time, she doesn't really say much about it." she added with a shrug. It was true though, her grandmother never told her anything relatively important about the camp since she feared that the information might go to the wrong hands. Dari doesn't know about that though. "But I want to know about the people I shouldn't get near to first." Dari added with a smile that seemed to indicate that she wanted to cross them so badly.

As he starts to walk toward the nearest cabins, which is also the camp's oldest, since it is Olympians's cabins.
"You seem to be a sensible and reasonable woman, so it may not come as a surprise when I tell you that Ares-children can be a little ... arggressive. In general, the majority of people here, is very friendly, but of course there are also a few rotten apples, if you know what I mean. Just don't get on the bad side of Ares-, Hermes- or Aphrodite-kids. Then you'll be fine"
He stops as they arrive to the cabins.
"This is where kids with Olympian godparents sleeps"

Long black hair swirling around in the air as she turns her slim body. It would almost look like she was dancing, if it wasn't for the two swords in her hands. She's been practicing for hours with only a short break every once in a while. Right now she is sparring with with a couple of Ares children, since they always are ready to practice and try to kick her butt. Not an easy task. She's one of the kids, who's been in the camp the longest, and practically don't know much about life outside of camp. Even so it doesn't bother her that much, although she would love to go on missions, and have been on a few, but she is used to how it is in the camp, and she has many friends in the camp.

"Godparents....?" Dari muttered questioningly. There were godparents in camp?
Dari stopped in her tracks for a moment, turning around to look at the campers practice fighting one last time; there she was, a long haired girl fighting with two swords. The first thought that came to Dari's head was Did she even think about tying up her hair? Hair makes it more annoying to fight, the second was her more fight-loving side that thought I wonder how long it'll take for me to disarm her with one whip, two whips would probably take a shorter time though.
"Hey Robert, as much as I'd love to listen to you, since you're voice is so soothing and sweet, I want to go to that place already to um, check people out, or just spar. I've never sparred with other demigods before, so." Dari said with a shrug as she pulled on Jesu- Robert's hand.

There comes a deeper frown in Roberts forehead as Dari apparently insist on approaching the battlefield already. He understands that she may seek challenges and problems, which explains her previous question. A little hesitant, he decides to follow her, for so long as he don't get into trouble, he'll be fine. Dari? Maybe not so much, but he doesn't know her that well yet. All he can do is to advise her no to provoke. After all, she is a newcomer here.
"You've only been here for a few minutes and are already looking for trouble? I would probably keep a low profile if I were you, but do as you please"

By one last blow of swords crossing each other, she manages to stand between two of the Ares kids with her swords right in front of their throats. All their breaths are heavy, as they stand and look at each other, before they all pull their swords back and smile. She knows the Ares kids just are faking their smiles, because they hate to lose, but they will be good again. After all she have known them for a couple of years know, and they all have the same agressive way of fighting, which in the end is what makes their defeat. She walks over to a bench, where she keeps a towel and a water bottle, which she grabs right away. The now lukewarm water makes her frown, and she instantly cool's it down with her powers. Pretty practical way to always have cold refreshing water, which is the way she enjoys it the most.
