Nirvana used her arm to hold up the weight of her head, totally bummed as she watched the trees pass by quickly as she made her way to camp. She still had yet to fully understand why exactly Uncle was taking her there. Never been there before so why start now? Sighing, she thought solemnly to herself, Pick up the attitude girl! You don't want to be a burden! So, she decided to be perkier, especially since she wouldn't see her Uncle for awhile no doubt. Her free hand was buried deep in the pocket of her hoodie, clasped around portrait of her father. The pain of leaving him in such a state plagued her every waking moment. A terrible thought always, even if she wasn't constantly aware, was glued in the back of mind. What if Dad dies while I'm gone? She never stopped worrying about it.

"Talk to me Nirv," Her Uncle's voice drifted into her thoughts. Being surprised her arm jerked and sent her head crashing into the window.
"Aish! Don't scare me like that!" He gave a hearty laugh, turning his attention momentarily away from the road to give her the smile she loved best. The one that made all of the wrinkles on his aged face apparent. The squinting of his eyes. It was the picture of happiness no doubt. She continued to watch him as he turned his attention back to the road. They continued to ride in absolute silence for another ten minutes before the car came to a gradual halt. The ride was too fast, she didn't want to leave. Nirvana knew she needed to make this goodbye short or she'd never leave. She'd cling onto his legs, jump on the roof of the car, hold onto the back for dear life. Anyway she could stay with someone who resembled her father so much. Reaching out, she cupped herhand around his soft, round face, a sad smile tugged at her lips,
"Dangsin-eul salanghabnida, Ajeossi," He returned the gesture and pointed in a direction. She nodded, knowing exactly what he meant. The direction for camp, peachy. Getting out of the car she tightened the straps of her backpack and looked down at her shoes. Converse. Yeah, she loved 'em. Looking back up she felt tears just waiting to surface but she sucked it up and looked at her Uncle before giving him a wave and trudged off in the direction pointed. Nirvana wondered how long she'd have to walk till she got there? In all honesty, her Uncle really hadn't said how to get there or anything. All he'd said was that was as far as he himself could go.
Don't tell me I'm going to get lost...?

In Korean "Dangsin-eul salanghabnida, Ajeossi." in English means, "I love you, Uncle."

Eliza was walking around the border. She really wanted to go out and see more of the trees. There weren't many in camp as much as outside of the border. But she knew it was way too dangerous with the insane stayrs and all. She sat on the grass with her legs criss-crossed. She hummed a little bit before standing up when she saw a figure coming up the hill. She began to jump up and down in excitement. She could finally do something! She walked near the edge and began to wave her hand and gesturing upwards. She was smiling the whole time.

{{ Ah, thank you bunches for replying!~ =^~^= }}

Nirvana panted a little, God, I did not expect such hard labor She thought, angry that her Uncle couldn't even drive her a little farther. This walk was taking it out of her but also made her realize just how out of shape she was.
"Aish! I hope this camp isn't like, a sports camp or something.. I've had enough! Hmm, I wonder if they have Kimchi..?" She continued to mumble to herself and ramble nonsense, sure that the heat was getting to her. Her Uncle hadn't given her any information on the camp and what she'd do there or what it was like. She had no clue what to expect. As she had walked up the hill she'd had her head down, watching the green grass pass by under her feet way to slowly. Looking up she was pleased to see someone waving at her. Was this maybe someone who was supposed to meet me out here? She wasn't one hundred percent clear but the thought of meeting someone was inviting. Oh! What if she has food?! Nirvana, being the food lover she was, well, this was one of the most important matters on her mind currently. On the list of what's important it goes:
1. Get food!
2. Find a place to chillax and rest her aching feet
3. Find this mysterious Camp Half-Blood
As you can see, it's far from the top.
Nirvana turned the wave and quickened her pace, not even thinking about how she could possibly be falling into the trap of a mysterious mass murderer who was going to tie her in her basement and chop her limb from limb.

(Love that last part)
Eliza saw her wave back. She watched as she crossed the border. She examined her really quick. No cuts, bruises, or blood. She must of drove here. Eliza was thinking to herself. She looked at the girl and smiled.
"Hi! I'm Eliza Harriet! Daughter of Demeter. Welcome to Camp Half-Blood!"
She reached one of her small hands out to her.
"Whats your name? Do you know anything about this camp?"
Eliza didn't know how fast she was talking.

{{ I try, hard. xD }}

Nirvana silently thanked the heavens for the excuse to stop walking. Bending over she rubbed at her feet a little, attempting to message them through her shoes. Nirv, girl, where's your manners?! She'd forgotten. Straightening up she then proceeded to bow. This was something she learned from a very early age to do in Korea. Did Americans not do it? Feeling slightly embarrassed she escaped the bow and pulled on the straps of her backpack. Hoping she wasn't blushing with the singe of embarrassment she was feeling right now. Clearing her throat, her confidence quickly came back to her.

    "Ah, thanks for the welcome," God, seriously? Where's you suave girl? What kind of lame thing to say is that?! Shaking away the thoughts she was caught off guard when the girl, -- no, Eliza -- spoke of being a daughter of Demeter. I-I am too... She thought, completely surprised.

    "This would make us like, ban jamae right..?" Nirvana though aloud quietly. Blinking slowly she tilted her head at Eliza, "I'm Nirvana, daughter of Demeter..." The last part she said slowly, also making sure the word daughter got across so at least one person knew she was actually a girl but also, it seemed surreal to be here. Furthermore, she still couldn't digest the fact she was the offspring of, like, a head honcho. Nirvana felt a smirk tug at her lips as Eliza spat out everything she wanted to say in one go. Might as well address all questions now.

    "No, I actually have no idea really. It'd be nice if you filled me in on what this camp is. Sports camp? Arts and crafts? Girl scouts? Wait no, don't tell me, we're being sent here for hard labor. Dear god. I can't! Tell my father I love 'em!" She droned on jokingly. Great going, she probably thinks you're a freaking lunatic.

Eliza laughed.
"Well I guess so! And No its not a labor camp! You must know about the gods being real so I assume I can skip that. But this is a place where the children of the gods go to stay safe away from monsters and such. We train, protect, sleep and Garden!! Well usually gardening is just the Demeter kids... But still! We sometimes get sent on quests to!"

She tried explaining the best she could.

"Mom should claim you when we get further into camp. Your claiming will be the first one I have ever seen! I've always wondered what- Getting off topic! So welcome to Camp and if you follow me I can give you a tour! Just a quick hint of advice, don't anger the Ares kids. They'll ruin the plants! But then we can get mad at them! Oh wouldn't that be fun!"

Eliza may of rambled on a bit, but thats what she did sometimes. She was sort of air headed at times. She then smiled at her and pointed towards the rest of camp.

It was as if the camp before Nirvana had been invisible up until then. Only when Eliza gestured towards the rest of the camp had she just took note of it. Wow, shows just how dense are crappy your observation skill are.. Her thoughts nagged her. Her head shot to the side, flipping her bangs back into their right position. How dare you fall out of place! She shook her head, baffled by how lame she was being right now, Chojeom, baegchi! Coming back into the land of reality she studied the camp for a few moments, silent. This was all really hard and straining for her to wrap her head around. Just literally moments ago she thought she was normal. Guess not.

    "Gotcha, don't anger the pubescent children," She paused, almost laughing how she was most likely going to peeve off an "Ares" kid, she had that affect on people.

    "Let's go then! Give me the grand tour, will ya?" Being a person who knew no boundaries, she grabbed hold of Eliza arm, not hard of course and dragged her forward. Although she wasn't quite sure how she felt about being here yet, she was still excited to see where she'd be spending many of her days now.

Eliza was excited. There was another kid who was going to be in her cabin! This was also her first tour. She hoped it would be good. As she was being dragged she decided to start talking about camp.
"So I guess I should start with food. We have meals 3 times a day. Morning, noon and evening. All you have to do is think of what you want and BOOM its there! But you have to offer some to your godly parent. In our case its Demeter. We sit at the Demeter table and eat."

She looked as they got closer to camp.

"There are a lot of things to do at camp. Such as archery, gardening, training, sword fighting, swimming, gardening, wait already said that, um arts and crafts, weapon and armour making and um a few more things."

She looked towards Nirvana hoping she wouldn't mind her not naming everything. Something then struck her mind.

"Okay so when its lights out, don't sneak out unless you want to be killed! I mean it! When the Nymphs get angry, they get ANGRY!"

    "Woah..." Nirvana's jaw dropped in awe as she watched other kids bustle about and at the camp itself. Well, so far so good. It didn't seem too bad. Good things, all good things. Some of these kids give me the heeby geebies though..Where's my people?! She laughed slightly at her own little joke. So far, no Asians that she could see. Were there camps like this all over the world? Was there one in South Korea even? Maybe that's why she didn't spot any. Tuning back into what Eliza was talking about she heard the mention of foods. Oh dear god yes! Food, my precious baby! The thought of being able to summon any type of food she wanted was clearly heaven to her. Then, her mood took a slight turn for the worst. It'd probably be best if she didn't want anything from home. She didn't need to be reminded of her Dad right now.

    "Wait, we have to sit at our table? Wouldn't we be by ourselves then? Can't we sit with other people?" Nirvana felt a little guilty bombarding Eliza with questions but she was the one who offered a tour and Nirvana wasn't going to let any kindness go to waste. As Eliza droned on about what recreational activities could be done, she was only half listening and half, well, checking out guys. Along with that, she was getting some funky looks. A part of her wanted to yell at them and say something like, "Never seen an Asian before, huh?!" But luckily, she held it in. She only nodded when spoken of lights out rules. Shouldn't be a problem, Nirvana loved her sleep.

    "Ahh.. I'm tired, mind showing me the way to our cabin or whatever..?" This was slightly an excuse, honestly, she just wanted to let some weight out of her backpack and check out more of the grounds on her own.

"Well yes but its just the way things work here. I really don't know why though."
Eliza also saw the looks people were giving Nirvana and she glared at them. Eliza saw that she was tired and nodded.
"Here let me take your backpack."
She grabbed the bag from Nirvana and slung it over a shoulder. She then began to make her way towards the Demeter cabin. When she go there she quickly looked at her plants and then opened the ivy door. She took the sweet smell of soil and flowers when she entered.
"Um so you can have any bed in here except that one."
She pointed to the bed that had her things on it. She looked around the cabin for her sunhat. She picked it up and then gave Nirvana her backpack back. She then grabbed her magic gloves that turned into a sword and put them on.
"So I am going to garden outside while you rest. Okay? Call if you need anything."
She then pointed to a secret mini fridge that one of the Hephaestus kids made her. It refilled automatically and didn't need electricity to run.
"Theres food and water in there by the way. Sometimes I get hungry after I garden, but you can help yourself to anything that's in there."
She smiled at her new sister and then walked out and began to dig.

{{ Well, I'm going to close this up after my post, so thank you a lot for RPing this with me! It was quite enjoyable! Now I'm off to make a new thread. xD RP with you soon!~ }}

Nirvana hadn't realized how badly her shoulders ached until Eliza lifted the load. Giving a grunt she rubbed at the nape of her neck, groaning, "Aish!" Just as she looked at Eliza she noticed her gaze towards the oncoming and passing kids, Nirvana noted this with a smile. Did she already have a friend here? The thought lifted her spirits a but and being here didn't seem as bad. It still seemed bad, but not horrible. That was a bonus, right? Once again Nirvana was completely star struck as they approached the cabin. It was really beautiful, stunningly so. The smell was, well, earthy as can be that was for sure. Taking her backpack, she gave Eliza a smile to show her appreciation. I can't believe I've just realized this, but she sure has done a lot for me already. It was really comforting knowing she had someone to turn to when in need of assistance.

Nirvana gave Eliza a playful salute, "Yes ma'am." She paused, her hand falling to her pocket for her fathers picture. Making sure she hadn't lost it in the commotion before continuing, "Thank you, a lot."
She watched Eliza, her sister leave before setting her backpack down on an empty bed tucked into the corner, opposite of Eliza's bed, and pulled out some new clothes. The horrendous trek up that hill had actually gotten her dirty and sweaty. Pulling out sweatpants and a baggy black hoody, she quickly changed into them before heading outside to find Eliza. Pulling up her hood and shoving her hands in the pockets of her sweatpants she located Eliza and said with a yawn, "I'm going out for a walk." With that, Nirvana made her way, looking around at everything anxiously.
