TEST DRIVE MEME

So you think you have what it takes to be a demigod? Want to spend a summer at Camp Half-Blood, but can't decide who you wanna toss in? Give us a whirl right here!
Disclaimer: Any and all medical bills resulting from injuries at camp will not be covered by the gods

Prompts for your convenience!:

1. Fashion disasters. That is what you all are, at least according to Aphrodite's cabin (seriously, neon orange?). But since it's the uniform, you have to at least try to make it work. What are your creative ideas for style in the summer sun when you have to wear apparently the ugliest shirt known to man?

2. Defending the line. A hell hound has been attacking camp borders! Rather than risk it getting in, it's up to the campers to dispatch it as quickly as possible. Make a plan, form groups and take this guy out? Or try to fight it on your own. (After all, "hero" tends to tie in with "idiot.")

3. Training grounds. A normal day on the training grounds. Archery practice, swordplay, and a climbing wall spitting lava! Learn yourself some skills while you still can, otherwise you might end up barbecue in a real combat situation.

4. Beach party! Day off and we are chilling on the beach. It's nice being so close to the water, right? And I promise Poseidon won't try to drown ~~most of~~ you.

5. Prank victims. SOMEONE (looking at you, Hermes kid), has decided to lock anyone in the bathroom around the time the most people shower. This is a problem, as SOMEONE (looking at you, Hermes kid) also lost the key to the bathroom. It might take a while for them to find it, or they might just blow down the door. So what do you feel like doing tonight, my poor trapped demigods?

Or just go with something of your own! Feel free to check out or FAQ for more ideas, and don't forget to check out or other links, too! (Like our reserves and apps? winkwink?)

[Oy, it's not like he's had plenty of time to refine how he handles a sword.

...Okay no, that's probably a lie when he's used golf clubs and baseball bats as if they were swords, on top of that entire year. Regardless, he takes up the one he's been using all day.] That's one way of looking at it. Generally, though, you'll want to swing at them, not stab them.

[As he can attest, he's fallen flat on his ass more times by charging head-first than he has by getting smashed off his feet. Whoops.]

What's the difference? [ It would seem to Chie that poking at someone keeps her body farther away from someone else's sword, where slashing leaves you open and defenseless. ]

Well, if you say so. [ HE better be ready because Chie's already coming at him with her sword swinging about. Why Souji ever agreed to be her training partner back home or here now we'll probably never know. ]

You'll see it as we go. [We can probably sum it up as 'It is an utter mystery' and leave it at that. 8|;

And up goes his weapon defensively; at the very least, this'll help him practice deflecting an opponent's strikes.]

[ With any small amount of skill it's probably easy to defend against Chie's weak and uncoordinated attacks. She's just sort of flailing around with no direction. However, once she realizes that she's not landing anything, she decided to switch it up. Once their swords clash she brings her body in close then tries to spin and sweep the leg. ]
