This is my
Chatterbox: Blab About Books
This is my first thread so...
I think we should do one with Snape and Lily. I know the time doesn't match up, but I think it would be cool to do it around the time of the first Lost Hero book. I'm assuming that wizards are very far off descandants of Hecate and Zeus, and then they have to be able to see through the Mist. I think Demi-Gods should be on a quest, when wizards accidentally (?) aperate in the hotel the Demi-Gods have rented. They don't know about each other, but they could form a valuable alliance. Here is my (darn, forgot what it's called. GRR) status thingy...
Name: Jessica Faber
Age: just turned 12
God parents (hahaha): I want to run this by you, and I can change it if no body likes it. My father was a Zeus demigod, and my mother is Aphrodite (barely has wind power)
Power: extremly pretty, charm speak, winds (see above)
Aperrance: 5'3, hair reaches to hips and is always braided, blonde, fair skin
Story: My father died at the hands of a monster when I was six. (on my birthday, no less) Found someone who is my best friend now. (6, too, maybe someone can do them) Have been on the run ever since. I just got to camp 2 months ago. I'm totally bored with my life. (even though it's really cool, Claire thinks) A quest is just what I need....
Will post more later. Must leave now to find BRAINS. JUST SO HUNGRY!
Spammy says iiix. Hey, that's not nice! I think this idea is great, not icky! No, wait, now he says fkey. Hmm. Yes, my f key is a little finicky!

I'm gonna start...
Triny~
I walk outside to talk to my best friend, Oaky, a driad. She's sitting on the rock by her tree, combing her knee-length greenish-blond hair. She seems like she's sensing the air or something. "Hecate's wizards are strong today," she tells me.
(July 14, 2011 - 6:47 pm)
Sorry it's short. I don't have much time right now.
Neva--
I watch the other demi-gods walk by, talking and laughing, and generally having a great time. From my spot up in the oak tree where a particularly nice dryad lived, I could see almost the entire camp. I decided to have some fun, and made it snow in the Athena cabin to see how much snow would pile up before the Athena kids got back from archery practice. I wondered if this was a good idea since they would no doubt get their revenge sooner or later, but hey, I was bored. As an Apollo boy went by with his water bottle in hand, I froze it solid, to his disappointment. I leapt down from the tree as he glowered at me, and went back to my lonely cabin, where I slept by myself every night, unlike the other kids, who had their (half) brothers and sisters with them.
"Nice one, Neva." An angry Athena kid walked by with snow on her clothes.
"Oops." I said innocently. She glared.
As you can probably tell, I specialize in making people mad.

I love everybody's stories! I haven't been able to post, so I'm sorry. I like everything. Is Eric a... um...? UH?.... by at least Tuesday, if I know who Eric is I will post! Thank you so much!
(July 16, 2011 - 7:57 pm)
Eric is a boy, and a son of Apollo. You're the daughter of Aphrodite, and I think they're quite flirty, and I couldn't find any other ideas in my juice filled brain! :-) Anyway, I just was trying to find a scene! :)
(July 18, 2011 - 9:12 am)
Triny~
Leo comes stomping to me from our cabin before I can ask the dryad what she is talking about. "Triny, you're the head of the cabin," he yells at me. "Do something about this mess!!" He points at his dandruff. It melts on his head. Never mind. He pointed at snow.
I run to the cabin. All of the Athena campers stomp out and glare at Neva. "Really?" I ask her. I run in and find Kaila, our youngest camper, sitting on her bunk. She lifts her head and sticks her tongue out. The snowflakes stick to her tongue.
(July 18, 2011 - 4:49 pm)
Sorry. Parents are commanding me to get off this website. GRR... NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(July 19, 2011 - 4:57 pm)
"Do you really trully mean it, Jessica?" Eric, my boyfriend reaches out and tickles me. I giggle. He is just soo darn cute!
“Eric! Oh, I promise you. If I get a quest, you’ll certainly come with me," I promise him. He grabs my hand and brings it to his lips.
“You’re so cute when you’re excited. Shall I sing a song about it?” The sweetest boy I've ever met! But, then again, I've never really met any body but Rosea. And monsters. But they don't really count.
“Oh do!” I bounce up and down.
“Oh, Jessica! Your eyes as vibrant as Apollo himself. Your skin as soft as white gases. Your beauty like that of an old intelligent tree. Oh Jessica!”
Not too far from here, there's a belly laugh. Eric jumps up, one hand on an arrow, another clamping on to his bow. Perhaps a monster? Even though we're just about as safe as you can get here, that possibility can never really leave a demi-gods mind.
“Who’s there?” I wonder, more to myself than any one else. Wait a sec. That would be Rosea's laugh. Besides, no one else could find a less conveniant time to listen in. Still, I gotta love that girl. “Eric, go. I know who it is. I’ll see you…” Eric makes his exit fast enough so that it was like an ilusion he was even there. You'd think he would be Hermes' son. Rosea steps out. “What are you doing?!” I demand. I guess it is time to intoduce me, and my best friend. I'm Jess. Well, Jessica, but Rosea never called me that, and she's really the only person that matters to me. I'm Aphrodite's daughter, though I can still hardly even believe it. But "Mom" made sure to show that I was, giving me Aphrodite's blessing when she claimed me. I've grown up with Rosea since I was 6, and she found me right after my dad had died. I love her, but she has just the right way of ruining romantic moments. One last thing. She doen't always listen to what Chiron tells me is "charm-speak." He says it's probably 'cause she grew up with me. I think she's just too darn strong.
“I wasn’t doing anything!” she pleads innocent, huh? She sits down on the rock next to me.
“You were eavesdropping!” Any more questions for the suspect?
“He described you as an old tree…” She does what I think is her attempt of not laughing, but it doesn't really work.
“Eric is nice. He just needs to work on his… um…" I think for a sec, "song lyrics. “ I give her my best evil eye. I know she knows I don't mean it.
“Yeah…Right…" She stops. “You were talking about a quest? Are you thinking of asking Chiron?” Oh well. Case closed. I sigh.
“Yeah, I am too restless here. I love doing my hair and everything, but something inside of me-“ I stop.
“Needs to get out of here.” She finishes for me. I love how we can do it.
“Mhm. Do you think…?” I turn to her, my eyes pleading she agrees.
“Yes, we should ask… Today.” There's another thing we can do. We latch arms and walk down to the dinner hall.
(July 19, 2011 - 8:33 pm)
We part ways and she walks over to her table. I go and settle myself down next to Jacob, one of my favorite brothers. I'm also next to Violeta, who starts tto unbraid my hair and plays with it. We eat, then have camp fire songs. I make eye contact with Rosea, then clear my throught, and start to stand up. But just as I'm about to say something, Chiron stands up, and clickes his heels against the hard ground. It echos all around, and every body quiets. I sit down embaressed. He begins,
"Campers. As you all know, we face a dire time. The oracle had a vision last night, and has informed me there are to comined quests, but her description was lacking in telling who would go. This was her prophecy-
' A child of war, magic in her veins, a child of snow with a temper of fire."
I need to go will finishe latert
(July 20, 2011 - 9:33 am)
This is the rest of the prophecy. We can change it a bit if we want to later.
'A child of war, magic in her veins, a child of snow with a temper of fire, Athena's daughter, turned away. A girl of beauty, an enchantress of voices. Far and wide in a land of no one, searching for the savior.The earth shall rise so bewareth the floor. Turn to few, but trust no one. Magic shall riseth, become an ally. It may yet still turn against you.'" I focus on the beauty. An enchantress of voices. The grounds are completly silent. Then, slowly, people begin to rise. A girl named Neva rises first, slowly, and not really sure of herself. She's a daughter of a minor goddess, one of snow. Her big talent is TROUBLE, all with capital letters. She can freeze and unfreeze things, and make it snow. I like her personally, though no one else does really. I don't really know her that well. I eye Rosea, and she winks, a mischievous glint in her eyes. We get up, and walk over to where Neva's standing. Then, an Athena girl stands up. I still don't know her name. I haven't really learned anybody's in this past month. I've been a little bit... busy. She doesn't join us, but instead stands there. I notice Neva is grinning slightly. I quickly reach up to my head. No snow. Yet. Everyone stares. It seems like HOURS! Finally, the Aphrodite cabin starts clapping. Then the Athena. Then everybody joins in. What have I gotten us into, Rosea?
I've got to stop for now. We can revise the prophecy, and when we visit the oracle, we should each submit something we like. It can be the whole thing or just parts. Then we can decide what we like from each bit and put it together. I can not WAIT!!
(July 20, 2011 - 8:31 pm)
Rosea-
The dinner pavilion was in total silence as Chiron recited the prophecy. “'A child of war, magic in her veins, a child of snow with a temper of fire, Athena's daughter, turned away. A girl of beauty, an enchantress of voices. Far and wide in a land of no one, searching for the savior.The earth shall rise so bewareth the floor. Turn to few, but trust no one. Magic shall riseth, become an ally. It may yet still turn against you.'"
Silence, no one moved.
A child of war, magic in her veins.
One moment, that had to be… No! It couldn’t. But yes, I--from what I knew--was the only half magic Ares child. I, Rosea Montolio, was the child in the prophecy.
Before I could ponder over this miracle, Neva, the daughter of a snow goddess rose. Her step was light and bouncy as she walked up to where Chiron stood.
I glimpsed Jessica, and noticed her gaze upon me. I winked, and we both slowly got up.
The last to join us is Triny, an Athena camper.
First an uncomfortable silence lay in the room; then Aphrodite started to applaud; then Athena; finally Ares started to roar in delight.
“Well.” Chiron studied each of us as the applause died down. “These are the children of the prophecy, so it seems. The prophecy is slightly…ahem… unclear, but I believe we must sleep on it. I shall now take the campers to the big house. We must talk.”
Chiron galloped to the house.
Okay, so should I write the whole prophecy that the oracle says? I didn't quite understand. That's why I didn't write any longer.
(July 22, 2011 - 10:05 am)
Neva--
I was shocked that I was in the prophecy, but also excited. Finally! This was my chance to get out of the camp and into the world! I watched Chiron walk away from me and the other 3 that had been in the prophecy, then I went back to my cabin, freezing the Hermes cabin solid on the way, just for the fun of it. I flopped down on my bed, and made it snow around me. I made the snow blow out the window as Rosea, the daughter of Ares the prophecy had mentioned, passed by. She glared at me a moment, then kept walking, snow falling off her clothes. I laughed my mischevious laugh that Dad used to say I share with my mom.
I stopped laughing as I thought of Dad. He was the one who sent me here, here where I was an outcast, where I had no friends. Nobody accepted me. My mortal friends didn't and could never know who I was. But even here, where everyone knew what I was and what I was like, they thought I was mean, just because I liked to play tricks. You might have thought I was a Hermes kid from my tricks, if they didn't all involve snow.
I wandered outside again, and caught sight of an Apollo boy practicing his archery. I couldn't help myself. I froze his bow-string and all his arrows, then quickly thawed them as he noticed. He looked at them, then blinked and shook his head, as if thinking he had imagined it. Then I froze and thawed them again as he noticed me. He glowered at me, then pointed his bow at me. I stood my ground, and as the arrow came towards me, I froze the air in front of me, so that the arrow lodged itself in the ice-wall. I walked away from the boy, then was suddenly knocked over and pinned down by something huge and scaly. I fought, but whatever it was had me pinned against the ground with my face in the dirt, so I couldn't see anything but a huge taloned foot.
"Help!" I screamed. I heard shouting, and saw arrows and spears fly through the air and bounce off the creature's foot. One was poorly shot, and lodged itself in my shoulder. As I heard the battle continue, the campers against the beast that held me, everything started to go black.
THE END! :) There's my post, please continue it however you want, or you if don't like me throwing a random monster in there we can ignore this post.
(July 23, 2011 - 9:03 pm)
I'm going to wait till you guys start your quest to actually run into you, but here's a random bit I came up with. It's silly, and kinda sappy, but I was bored.
Lily Evans
I walk down the hall. It's late, but I don't mind. I'm a prefect, I'm allowed to be out this late, and I'm on a mission from Headmistress Nurella. I'm suppossed to make sure that all the prefects at Hogwarts know what to do if there is an attack from He Who Must Not Be Named. I am to try to sneak into Slytherin common room and surprise them.
I reach the entrance, and wave the letter from the Headmistress at the portrait guarding it, who nods and silently opens. I walk into the empty room; it feels odd being in here without Sev. I miss him; we havent talked since school started, 6 months ago. I would, but he's been hanging around with the Death Eater wanna-bees, and i refuse to talk to them. They are evil.
Spammy sez kapn. Do you know Capt. Jack Harkness, Spammy> If you do, tell him I say hi!
(July 25, 2011 - 10:07 am)
I walk across the floor to the entrances to the dormitories. I'm supposed to have a partner with me, to wake up the guys, but he got dragon pox earlier this evening, or yesterday, whichever it is, and couldn't come. So I must wake up a bunch of 5th, 6th, and 7th year Slytherins without any help. Ahh well.
Finished being self pitying, I head for the girls dorm first, not wanting to have to face Sev till later.
I walk into the 5th years room first, setting up spells so that no one will hear and be warned if they cause a ruckus. Suddenly, I jump out from behind the door and start blasting curses.
"DEPRIMO!!" I shout, bringing down the curtains surrounding one of the beds. "BOMBARDA!!" A small bag of owl treats explodes. This is fun!
The girls scream, all but one, who picks up her wand.
"Petrificus Totalis!" she yells, and freezes me. Darn! As I fall, I quickly think the counter curse, catching myself before I hit the floor.
"Protago," I say calmly. "It's all right, Ariah. There are no Death Eaters here. This was just a test that Professor Nurella asked me to do. Go back to sleep, girls. I'll stay here and clean up."
I wave my wand and everything falls back to place. I feel sorry for the girls; they stare at me angrily as I leave, silently removing the enchantments I placed earlier.
The other dorms go as well. Every one is well prepared. I walk to the last one on my list: 7th year boys. Sev's dorm. This is the most dangerous one, I have been warned, this and the 7th year girls. I should not have saved it for last; I'm tired, and my guard is down.
I wearily climb the last flight of stairs. Casting the spells, I open the door to find... Sev, staring at me, his wand out, flanked by the rest of his dorm.
"Lily, what are you doing here?" is his first question. He looks surprised, surprised, yet happy, maybe. Has he missed me as much as I have him?
"I'm running a test for the Headmistress. Why are you all up?" I ask. My voice is shaking. I wasn't ready to confront Sev.
"We thought we heard a fight going on downstairs, and we were going to investigate. I assume that that was you?" he asks me curtly. He seems angry.
"Yes, it was me. Obviously, you are well prepared in case of an attack. I will leave now."
As I turn away, Sev grabs my arm.
"Lily, wait. Let me take you back to your dorm. What if there is an attack?"
"I'll be fine, Sev.
