Yes. You read that right. Greece has fallen...or at least the camp that has catered to Greek demigods for over three millennia has fallen. Camp Half-Blood had a traitor in their midst. A traitor with powerful allies who quickly burned the camp to the ground. Some were lost, some killed, and the rest who remained began the long trek across the country to the only place where they might be safe: Camp Jupiter.
Chiron banded what campers they had left, told them of the other camp and sent word to Camp Jupiter pleading for shelter. Chaos now threatens the camp daily with the arrival of new Greek campers to this foreign camp. This camp with strange customs and rules. While on the Roman end the Praetors are forced to hold up a balancing act of providing sanctuary while also trying to find the traitor before their home suffers the same fate as Camp Half-Blood.
New alliances are forged, new enemies are made, and these two worlds have to find some way to work together for the future of them all. Which side are you on? Which position will you take? It's time to jump in the fray because Greece has fallen.

There was no doubt that the Roman camp was impressive. Training in units as a military force made them all formidable fighters. The Romans clearly took pride in showing how organized and capable they were. Sienna couldn’t really argue with that, maybe Romans were better fighters than the Greeks. But, there was more to life than fighting. Sienna wanted to show everyone that the Greeks knew how to party.
The Olympics had been started in Greece as away for people to come together and have good natured competition. An event like this to help unify the camps was exactly what they needed right now. Sienna had briefly considered joining in the races, but had decided that dedicating her time to making this a epic party was a better use of her time.
First order of business of course was setting a color scheme. Camp Halfblood was orange and Camp Jupiter was purple. Those were two colors that were difficult to bring together, but it was a task worthy of a child of Iris. She had chosen shades of orange and purple different than the official camp colors but worked well together, she had also added some pink to help tie things together.
In a show of dedication to the theme she had died one side of her hair purple and the other side orange, currently it was arranged into French braid pigtails. There was a lot of work to be done to prepare for the feast. Had she been overly ambitious in her plans, yes. Still she wanted this to be really special and make everyone feel happy.
Sienna had begged and flirted her way into getting as many people as possible involved in helping out. Making garlands of different colored dots, finding and dying tablecloths, hanging decorations on the walls, everything she could think of to bring the mess hall to life.
Sienna had managed to find a few children of Demeter and a child of Flora to help get her flowers for centerpieces. Sienna sat on the floor of the mess hall surrounded by buckets of flowers and mason jars. She looked up and noticed her new friend Aurora arriving. ”Hey, I’m glad you could make it.” she said genuinely happy for any extra help she got. ”Wanna help me with the centerpieces?” she asked. This would be a great job for the daughter of Aphrodite. Not only was Sienna positive that she could handle arranging flowers, they would be sitting together for a while which would give them a chance to catch up and gossip while they sat and worked.
Aurora was not a big fan of fighting. So when it came to the announcement of the Olympics she immediately ensured she was not going to participate in any of the events. Of course it didn't mean she couldn't help out in the decorating committee. She could be free of the violence while still being helpful in other areas. She of course was worried about Kaiden who had signed up. He had just arrived and was already throwing himself into more danger.
Spotting Sienna she made her way over to her with a smile. She was certainly in a much better mood. Many could see that just from the way she carried herself. of course still she dealt with the nightmare but the one thing had troubled her was gone. She took in what was gathered around. Both the supplies and the people helping. She was glad Sienna managed to get a group of people to help. Couldn't imagine setting everything up with just a few people. There was far too much to do.
"Of course I could make it. Not like I am doing any of the combat stuff" she told her with a grin. When asked about helping with the centerpieces she gave a nod. "I love the color scheme" she added. Aurora took a seat near her and got to work with helping. To her Sienna had always been a fun person to be around. "Anyway what is the plan with these?" she asked calmly.
[attr="class","THREAD1TAG"] WORDS (optional) Sienna Watson
Sienna couldn’t help but give a smirk at the comment about Aurora not being involved with any of the combat stuff. A number of the people who she had convinced to help out today were lovers and not fighters. The people competing were the ones who were going to get praise and laurel wreaths, the people decorating were the ones who would be having all the fun.
Aurora complimented the color scheme. “Thank you! I wanted to make this all about unity between Camp Jupiter and Camp Halfblood. You know purple and orange aren’t the easiest colors to make work, but I think I found a balance.” She commented looking around and admiring the garlands and banners that had begun to be put up. Maybe she was being overly optimistic, but she was really hoping that this event could be a first step in unifying the two camps.
Aurora asked about the centerpieces. To be honest she wasn’t entirely sure herself. She had asked for orange and purple flowers and she got a wide variety in a bunch of different shades. Roses, tulips, tiger lillies, daisies, and a bunch of flowers she didn’t even know the names of.”So I’m thinking we don’t try to make them uniform or anything. Just make sure we have some orange and some purple in each arrangement, and we cut them so they aren’t sticking too far above the tops of the jars.” Sienna shrugged ”I don’t know what I’m doing. But. with my eye for color, and your eye for beauty I think we can figure this out and make something that looks good. Right?”
Sienna reached into a bucket and pulled out a huge purple hydrangea. She looked around and found a bunch of small orange flowers to surround it without the stems and put the arrangement in a jar. She spun it around and added a few more small orange flowers forming a ring around the hydrangea. Probably not her best work but it would do for now, she could always go back and rearrange things later. She put the arrangement aside and grabbed another jar.
”So what’s new with you. Any juicy gossip from around the camp.” Aphrodite kids were always good for some news about what was going on around camp.
Aurora couldn't help but laugh at the comment about the colors. "Definitely the hardest but you made it work. Can't say I could have done better myself with the color scheme" she told her as she got comfortable sitting on the floor with her. Of course Aurora would probably have been working with makeup and not just simple colors. It seemed siting for the daughter of Iris to have worked it out though.
She reached over to grabbed a jar and examined the flowers available. There were so many options and because she suggested making them all unique it made the options endless. Slowly she began working her way with picking a few large of the flowers and mixing in some smaller ones. With each addition she looked it over carefully. She changed and added different things when she felt one thing wasn't working out. "I am absolutely certain we can handle this. How hard can it be?" she told her with a grin.
Aurora smiled brightly at the mention of gossip. Of course she was aware of many different things, mostly a result of her half siblings. "You know the usual. Supposedly a Roman kid of Mercury and I believe a daughter of Hades are seeing each other. Isn't all too much detail on it but i have heard it from a few people" she noted. Of course the biggest news from her was that Kaiden was back. It was obvious something happened as Aurora had just been in a far better mood. "Though um Kaidens back..." she told her. Her gaze however never left the arrangements as her hands worked carefully to make each on look nice. She arranged the flowers and once she was set with it the cut the stems.
[attr="class","THREAD1TAG"] WORDS (optional) Sienna Watson
Yeah, we’ve totally got this.” Sienna agreed. Ultimately flowers were pretty and putting an arrangement on each table would go a long way to dress up the space. It didn’t matter if the arrangements looked professional or were perfect, they didn’t need to be.
Sienna didn’t usually get like this. She had never been a perfectionist, honestly with a lot of things she was comfortable putting in the bare minimum. Things had been different once she got to Camp Jupiter. There had been this need to prove that she and all the other Greeks deserved to be here, a need to do what she could to bring some joy and comfort to the other survivors of Camp Halfblood. Maybe it was the way the Roman campers tended to act superior, maybe it was the way so many Greeks including herself looked lost. As much as it hurt to admit Camp Halfblood was gone, and she had to find a way to make a home in Camp Jupiter. Sienna hoped that the Camp Olympics would go a long way to uniting the camps. And yes, logically she knew that making the mess hall more festive didn’t have the power to bridge the divide between the Greeks and Romans, but it was the only way she knew how to help.
She was glad to hear that Aurora had some gossip for her. Already some inter camp romances had started. ”Thats good news. That’s a step towards us getting along, acting like one camp instead of two.” Sienna paused as she was arranging purple roses and orange tulips together in a jar and looked up at Aurora with a certain glint of mischief in her eyes. ”Maybe I need to start my own outreach program to help create love and affection between the two camps. Have you seen how ripped some of those Roman boys are?”
Sienna had a bit of a reputation in Camp Halfblood for the amount of people she had dated. She didn’t mind. Sienna loved flirting, and romance, and physical affection; she wouldn’t let anyone shame her for it. The only God that believed in monogamy was Hera, why was it such a strange idea that the children of the Gods might not want to be tied to one person?
Of course Sienna didn’t judge people who wanted to be with just one person. From the way Aurora said the name Kaiden and shyly refused to look up at her, Sienna could guess that Kaiden was one person Aurora wanted to be with. ”So, tell me more about this Kaiden fellow.
[attr="class","THREAD1TAG"] WORDS (optional) @user
Adjusting to this place had been a challenge for sure. So much here was different and it was definitely a struggle to prove the Romans they were worth something more than refugees. The idea behind some events was fun and a great way to get both involved. Though clearly the Romans outmatched them and this seemed like a way for them to just show off more. This was why Aurora just to just help with decorating. No competition was needed.
Though she couldn't help but chuckle at the comment Sienna made. It was certainly amusing to say the least. Of course she had no need to look at any of the guys here. She was content and happy with Kaiden. It wasn't exactly something common for a daughter of Aphrodite. Many of which were know to flirt and date a lot of people. Not Aurora though, she had her eyes set on one. She had refused to break his heart as a right of passage when she arrived and she didn't plan on doing so now. "Can't say I have bothered to look" she told her.
Aurora was working on trying a few combinations of flowers to get the desired look she wanted. It also was a way to avoid making eye contact with Sienna. Just by her reaction and shyness it made it all the more obvious of how she felt. Her whole demeanor had changed in just a day. Prior to his arrival she had been an emotional wreck and just lost, anyone who had known her good enough could see it. Yet now he was back and she was much more relaxed and happy. "He...he is someone who saved my life twice...following everything at camp I didn't know what happened to him. He finally made his way here..." she said. She definitely avoided details a little out of shyness.
