Monthly Mingle Log + Marks

[thalassino]

Though things are certainly a bit busy, Station Master has decided to go ahead with the welcoming party for the new arrivals. Partially because he had decided to take this task upon himself and he certainly wasn't going to slack, and partially because making things appear as normal was as good a cover as they had right now.

However with how much has been going on, this party is not quite as extravagant as previous ones have been. The location is near to the elevator, on the beach. A large banner hung between two trees proclaims a cheerful 'Welcome to Vatheon'. The long food tables that normally take up most of the space are missing. There simply hadn't been the capability of whipping up the sort of food they normally served. What is there however is a lot of fruit. Fresh apples and pears. Bananas. A few bowls of strawberries and pièce de résistance several large and perfectly ripe water melons. One or two have already been split, the water melons pieces set out on small plates on one big table ready for any to take. Drinks are available too. Fresh water and fruit juices. The weather might not be entirely the best for this kinda thing (though occasionally the sun seems to peek out from between the clouds!) but at least it isn't raining.

But that is not all.

In the cover of the storage building turned bubble reparation headquarters sits C. She has been contacting the people who signed up for catching the fish, asking them to start bringing them to her today so she can start working on the marks. Similarly the people who have signed up for early mark change have been invited too to drop by today or in the next few days so the first step in making sure the coral is returned to proper working conditions can be taken.



[ooc: This month the monthly mingling log is combined with the log for the fish catching + early mark changing. Also, if your character is new but you want them to learn what is going on, please leave a small ooc note on your comment and we'll send a NPC your way. The mingling log part of this post is only on the first, in the afternoon. The fish catching and mark changing parts will serve as a collective point for threads of this nature for this whole week.]

Leo noticed that she was looking around a lot and wondered if she was ADHD too.

"Oh, what a relief," he said with a laugh. "I was worried I would look completely normal."

[timebender]

"Who wants to be normal? I cannot imagine it being all that exciting!" When she laughs along with him, her wings flutter a little bit, beyond her control.

Even before Leo knew he was a demigod, he knew he wasn't normal. Kind of hard when you have fire powers and your Aunt calls you a diablo. The ADHD and dyslexia didn't make things any easier, but at least those were things "normal" people had too.

"I wouldn't know. I've never been normal a day in my life." Leo smiled. He thought it was cute that her wings fluttered when she laughed. It kind of reminded him of Buford's little puffs of steam.

"Not even a single day?" Even though she can't discern anything in particular that's different between him and any other human-shaped being she knows, she doesn't doubt it for a second. Humans always found ways to surprise her. "You do sound like you're used to it, now that I think about it."

[fundemetal]

He paused a moment as if to think, "There was that one ti- nope. Not a single day."

"Not really used to it. Seems like there's always something new and crazy I didn't know about myself." Leo shrugged, "No big deal, all part of being me."

[timebender]

"And what exactly is being you?" You can't lead a girl and expect her not to ask! She stares him down with bright, intensely curious eyes, eager to learn-- maybe a bit too intensely. It doesn't immediately occur to her that he may or may not want to talk about it.

"Being awesome," Leo said, with lots of gusto. He then added, "Also a demigod - half human, half god." Aradia seemed trustworthy enough to tell her what he was.
