[The camera of the necklace is flopping in all directions as a pair of hands are working on getting a feed. Grumbling can be heard from the recipient as a redhead comes into view, looking particularly put out from the way everything seems to be going.]

This on? Oh good, it's on. And this is why I don't have a phone...

So uh... [She rubs her head a little.] I guess I'm new here, recently claimed yadda yadda. I'm Akane Hino, and by dang I'm giving up my last name. I'm in Cabin 9 and I just want to ask something:

Is there any normal sports stuff here? I'm looking for volleyballs in particular cause I can't get rusty with my gameplay.

As for everything else, I think I've caught up on the whole being a demi-god thing. Though I guess from how my life has been for a while this is kind of weird even for me.

So uh yeah, I guess if you want to talk just lemme know. Otherwise I'm going to be wandering the camp for a while.

[With that, Akane switches off the signal after some more fumbling. If you want to meet her, she is also wandering around the area looking rather lost and kind of put out, her hands stuck into the pockets of her jeans and looking a touch sullen in her orange half-blood t-shirt. Intercept her maybe?]

There's a volleyball court by the Big House, actually! I'm not sure how many people would be interested, but I doubt there'd be any harm in trying to start a game.

It might be a nice break from fighting, actually.

[hotbloodedpower]

Really? I hadn't checked that area yet. I'm glad. I was getting worried that this would be nothing but fighting all the time.

[hououji]

There's plenty of things outside of fighting. There's a climbing wall, but it's very dangerous as it spits fire sometimes. The arts and crafts pavilion is by the volleyball courts, and an amphitheater, too. That's where the camp fire is every night.

[hotbloodedpower]

Seems like this place is meant for athletic nuts or extreme sports enthusiasts. I'm beginning to like it to be honest. Better than being expected to sit down and make something.

[hououji]

Well they are training us for battle. And war does seem certain if things aren't fixed soon.

[hotbloodedpower]

Battle is one thing. Asking someone to completely overhaul their fighting style is another. I don't even have my powers anymore.

IIIIIIIIIII thought I answered this

[hououji]

None of us do. It's possible we inherited powers from our parents, but I don't know what they might be for any of us. It appears some of us have control over darkness or lightning...

/pats

[hotbloodedpower]

All I know how to do is fight in melee, punch things and utilize fire in my attacks. But I don't know how to check for that.

[hououji]

As Hephaestus was the god of fire and forges, perhaps your new powers might have something to do with that?

[little_lost_lizard]

"Weird even for us" seems to sum this place up, doesn't it? I was talking with someone else and I think we came to the conclusion that we're sort of destined to live... interesting lives. A lot of us seem to have them even before getting brought here.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Akane. My name is Ssilissa.

[hotbloodedpower]

You're telling me. It hasn't even been a month since the events of my hometown came to a close. And, well, seriously. I could have used the break.

Nice to uh... how do you pronounce that? Sorry, I am terrible at English.

[little_lost_lizard]

Oh, sorry.

[She switches to video.]

Ssilissa. [There's a bit of hissing involved.] And it's... not really English. Just the closest I could get to "Millicent" when I was little.

But yes. I don't know about what happened in your hometown, but if it's any indication, I was an aether-pirate. Er, space pirate, I suppose you'd say.

[hotbloodedpower]

You don't mind if I shorten that to Milli then would you? It's easier for me.

Really? That's different. Definitely not something a Legendary Warrior would deal with.

[little_lost_lizard]

I mostly just use Ssilissa or Ssil, actually. Even the people who raised me had stopped actually calling me Millicent by the time I was three.

It was... interesting. But I liked it. I miss the rest of the crew sometimes.

[hotbloodedpower]

Ssil then if you don't mind!

Sounds like a lot of fun. I'm missing my friends but I know they'll be okay.

[little_lost_lizard]

Not at all! I wouldn't have brought it up if I minded.

I'm mostly just worried because they'll need to find a new alchemist. But yes, I know they'll be fine. They were with friends when I was brought here, anyway.

[hotbloodedpower]

No worries then. It'll be fun.

Hmm that would probably be a problem. I'm sure everything'll be okay.

[dragster]

Cabin 9?

[That means...]

You're a child of Hephaestus?

Re: [video]

[hotbloodedpower]

Yeah, the guy I can't pronounce the name of. Seriously.

Cabin 9, that's me. Wheee. Akane Hino, the most machine-illiterate girl in the world.

[video]

[dragster]

It is a little longer than most.

[But she smiles and shakes her head.]

I'm Asami, pleased to meet you- and so far I'm the only other person in our cabin.

Re: [video]

[hotbloodedpower]

Yeah well I'm also terrible at English. And the eefff sound comes out as fu for me.

[Grinning and giving her a thumbs up.]

You look pretty cool, Asami-san! Or should I be calling you big sis? Can't say I'd get used to it.

Re: [video]

[dragster]

English?

[What's that?]

And just Asami's fine- I can't say I'd really know what to do if people suddenly started calling me their sister.

Re: [video]

[hotbloodedpower]

Yeah it's another language I'm incredibly bad at using.

[Ah the wonderful differences between worlds.]

Ah okay, Asami. I'm fine with that. [Akane figured she was from a world that didn't have last names or honorifics. She certainly didn't seem to be worried though.]

So what are we supposed to do in this cabin anyhow besides look at all the tools and such?

Re: [video]

[dragster]

More languages than I speak, regardless.

[I know, right?]

I think mostly we sleep in them. I know I haven't been in there much if I can help it.

Re: [video]

[hotbloodedpower]

Well I only speak English poorly. [Who knew?]

Ah, okay. Well I guess that's something then. If we're not meant to deal with the upkeep that much since it looks like a factory.
