(NOTE: THIS IS NOT PERCY JACKSON/HEROES OF OLYMPUS/RICK RIORDAN RELATED. This is based purely off of Greek mythology and has nothing to do with the world of Percy Jackson. Sorry. However, this does take place in modern times.)
It's a great day for someone like you to go on a vacation, you think, standing in the Ancient Greece section of your local museum. It's a very interesting exhibit, but you still yearn to do something like visit Ancient Greece itself. Or maybe visit the Bahamas. Yeah, a visit to the Bahamas is much more do-able, you think to yourself. That option doesn't require inventing a time machine.
You start to walk away from the exhibit when an elderly woman cries out. Something clatters on the floor, and you turn to see she's dropped her phone. The battery pack has popped out of it as well.
"Oh dear, it looks like I've destroyed my phone!" She sounds pretty anguished, so you decide to help her out.
"Don't worry," You say. "The phone's not broken, the battery pack just got knocked out of it." You bend down and put the phone back together and turn it on, showing the woman the only damage is a tiny crack in the screen's corner.
"Oh, thank you, you're very kind," The elderly woman says to you, smiling.
"No problem!" You respond. "I'm happy to help."
You head home, and just as you walk inside, your own phone starts buzzing. You pull it out of your pocket, expecting it to just be a telemarketer. But the screen is glowing, and a rainbow is coming out of it. Suddenly, a beautiful young woman with bright rainbow hair bursts out of the phone screen. She's wearing tie-die athletic clothing and has huge golden earrings. Her skin is a medium dark and her eyes are the brightest blue you've ever seen. You gasp and drop the phone on the ground.
"W-who are you?"
"I'm Iris!" She says, grinning. "You know, goddess of rainbows, messenger of Olympus?"
You remember reading about her in the museum and nod slowly. "What are you doing here?"
"Remember that old lady in the museum?" She continues before you can respond. "Well, that was Hera, Queen of the Gods, in disguise. And, as a way of thanking you, she's inviting you to stay at Olympus for a short period of time."
"Whoa! Really?" You're completely shocked. Hera is real!
"That's right! You just need to fill out this form. Oh! And we're not at all responsible for any deaths or injuries."
She hands you a piece of paper, and vanishes. You begin to read it:

If you want to learn more about Greek Mythology I reccomend The Olympians graphic novel series by George O'connor. Each one focuses on one Olympian (or other god, in the case of the Hades one) and I found them highly educational. I think I've read all but Zues's, which I am pretty sure is the first.
Saffron says "ornmt" . . . Ornemant? Mount Orn? no, it's Mount Olympus . . .

i hope im not too late :0
*quickly fills out form*
Name: dreamiing or dreamii
Gender/Pronouns: Lets just say she/her :>
CB Appearance: I have shoulder-length blue-purple-white hair, pale skin dotted with gold and silver freckles, a halo made from teeny-tiny stars that floats just above my head, a soft black sweater with silver thread details, baggy indigo pants that swish around my bare feet. I still have the raven wings made of galaxies, except their smaller now and never go away. Also they have a fuzzy quality, with stars escaping and floating around my occasionally. Also indigo eyes, but one a bit more purple and one a bit more blue.
Personality: Im a shy introvert with a tendency to forget what I was saying. Im very awkward and have bad social anxiety, which does not help my limited eye contact problem. Im an author, artist, and dreamer, and I like to imagine worlds in my head, then lose myself in them. I express myself through writing, but Im afraid to share that writing and therefor keep all my emotions bottled up inside. I never cry, I never get mad, or at least I dont show it.
Skills: Im a talented author, mediocre artist, decent poet, expert worrier, and my levels of empathy are very good. I also top the charts in bottling [keeping all my emotions inside] which is, uh, not good.
Favorite Greek god/goddess: I think... Hephestus :) But my godly parent is Hades.
What are you bringing: A black bag speckled with silver and navy stars that contains:
1 bag of toiletries
2 changes of clothes
4 blue notebooks
2 sharpened pencils
6 small pebbles
1 long navy blue scarf
1 black knit hat with a white pom pom on top, golden yarn designs, and silver stars sewn on.
Other: i love greek mythology sO much---
(January 4, 2021 - 11:56 am)
This isn't a demigod thing so I'll probably cut the godly parent Hades part. @EVERYONE ELSE-- I will *probably* be removing any stuff about appearances that's super unrealistic, like wings or something, because I might be drawing this as a comic after its finished and I want it to be very easy to tell the difference between gods and mortals.
Also, there are two spots left. (That's counting the reservations as taken, by the way.)
(January 4, 2021 - 4:04 pm)
There's still space, right? If there is, I'm reserving! Will make my character later :)
