--Ahh?! It's working, right?

[Say hello to a pair of big, brown eyes with even more color running through them. Whoever this woman is, she's surprised, a reaction hardly unheard of... though how she's pleasantly surprised, as she pulls back wearing a wide and inviting smile, could prove a little unique. Why is she this happy after being brought to a weird new place? Shouldn't she be wary?!

Well, yes, but she's also Maya Amano. And she thinks she is is broadcasting a message right now, so onto more important things!]

Wow, you're amazing, Iris! I guess your true form is like that, huh? Thanks so much for doing this!

[At least she's polite. The pendant is lifted a bit, revealing a completer picture of the woman staring up into it. Already clothed in an orange t-shirt and jeans that somehow, somehow flatter her, there's nothing too much out of the ordinary aside from... the giant white owl sitting on a glove over her arm... but, hey, the campers who've been here longer than she has have probably seen stranger. Right? Right. She blinks, then keeps talking with her best friendly grin -- and friendly voice -- on full display. Relaxed. Purposeful.]

Anyway, there's no time like the present to introduce myself. I'm Maya Amano... or at least I was called that back at home, and everyone here can feel free to keep it to Maya, to make it easier. ["big sis" and "mommy" and other variations may or may not come later] I arrived earlier today, so I regret to say I'm not quite caught up to speed yet! Would anyone who's been in Camp longer care for some sharing and caring, maybe answer a few questions for me?

[Lady is a reporter, after all, and that whole "seeking information" part of her life doesn't just go away no matter where she is. Maya laughs lightly, the owl (evidently more dignified than she is), shaking on its perch with it but really not looking out of place otherwise. You can practically hear the tolerance.]

Or you can always just stop and say hello, too! Introduce yourselves back! I want to know all your names, and I want to know what you all look like! There's no denying I could use the practice with this fancy pendant, but you should really come right up to me in person if you see me around, okay? Let's make things a little more friendly and a little less tough on Iris...! Ciao!

[[OOC: Maya's IC arrival is dated on the morning of June 2nd! If you'd like to action tag, you can just assume she's wandering someplace all over. c:]]

I see. So you're in that, um... Cabin 11, wasn't it called?

[dragon_blossom]

Yep. Hermes seems to cover everyone who doesn't have their own home.

[heartboobs]

And how's life in the good ol' cabin? [/bit of an unsure smile]

[dragon_blossom]

Crowded. It's definitely not boring, though, I can promise you that.

[heartboobs]

Well, that has to count for something, right? One of my friends from back home rooms there now, so I'll have to stop by and visit... even if I can't spend the night and see what you rowdy kids get up to!

[Which, whatever that something is they get up to, it probably involves Jun sitting off in a corner by himself. But her smile is free now.]

What kinds of activities of the formal kind are on the camp menu?

[dragon_blossom]

There's nothing all that rowdy going on, or else they'd be hearing complaints. From me. Personally.

[ Hmph. She's mostly just extra grouchy right now though. ]

We do a lot of training and exercise. This is supposed to get us ready to fight, after all.

[heartboobs]

[Sounds like Maya's kind of girl! ... Well, kind of. She does love her fun.]

Mmm, makes sense. But I don't get any extensive details? The top-secret scoop on what exactly we train in? Are we building Trojan horses? Learning how to cut off the head of Medusa? Something else?

[That reporter spark may or may not be obvious in her eyes, her voice.]

[dragon_blossom]

[ Hey, good thing Umi likes fun. ]

Right now, we're learning to climb lava spewing walls, and a lot of people are just learning how to use a sword or other weapon in the first place. Apparently we have to use this magical celestial bronze... stuff... to fight monsters.

You'd think they could make a bullet out of it.

[heartboobs]

No doubt the only blacksmith they have capable enough to melt the stuff into bullets has his forge back on Olympus.

[Pulling back, her grin is assured, if also poking ironic fun.]

I'm no stranger to watching other people use swords! I wonder if I'll be any good at wielding them myself. My own weapons I usually use probably aren't available here.

[dragon_blossom]

Yeah, and he's probably too old-fashioned for that.

[ ...sorry Heph? ]

Learning to use a sword and then jumping into a fight isn't easy, and yours won't be magically attuned to you or anything. What do you usually use?

[heartboobs]

... Guns.

[She's not really lying! Though Maya's smile is at least a little shaky, willing to clarify and already acclimated to the fact... well, the fact her pair of cute pink handguns that make demons asplode probably isn't a doable option at Camp.]

[dragon_blossom]

Oh, we really could use some magic bullets then.

[ They can do that right? It makes sense to her. ]
