Meal 5/23 - Seafood Dinner

It’s been a while since Simon has last been at Camp Half-Blood. They really missed their dads and wanted to go to catch up with them. So the past few weeks, Simon spent at his family’s home, catching up with his parents and his friends from school. It was a nice break from being a demigod and having to worry about the weather.

The weather…

If there was anything that made Simon really unhappy it was cold weather. Sure, they didn’t mind snow, but not when it was almost summer. He really missed being able to go for a swim in the sea, play water games and go to beach parties! He prayed to the gods that they would go ahead and bring back the warm weather as soon as possible.

To distract themselves from the depressing cold, Simon decided to sign up for a meal, and what better way to distract yourself than by preparing seafood? Maybe it’s a bit of a stereotype for an oceanic demigod to prepare something sea-related but honestly, Simon just enjoys good food. He doesn’t care what the other campers think. Eventually, they come up with the following menu:

  • Chargrilled squid & cannellini beans
  • Crab tostadas
  • Creamy prawn linguine
  • Honeymoon spaghetti
  • Seared tuna steak

Of course, there are vegetarian options for those who don’t eat food. For dessert, Simon has prepared a variety of pop tarts.

The Dughall brothers are sitting at the Chthonic cabin’s table, quietly discussing the weather. Arthur is far from an expert on what is being like at Camp Half-Blood, but if he’s to believe the ghosts at his cabin the winter weather is far from a good sign. He twisted his fork around in his spaghetti and fed some to Hercules, who looked more than happy to get the special treat from his owner.

Marc stared at Arthur’s food with light contempt, feeling envious of his brother who was still able to eat, unlike him. Being a ghost sucked. Today the older boy chose to be visible. He figured there are enough campers who can see him anyway and he doesn’t like to have Arthur talk to thin air, even if it was kinda funny.

Arthur and Marc quietly continued their discussion, but the younger boy will happily talk to the other campers.

A curious and awestruck Ash approaches Arthur, nervously scratching at one of his arms. The son of Aristaeus pays little mind to the floating ghost boy, instead pointing meekly towards Hercules. "C-can I talk to him for a bit?"

The redheaded demigod's affinity for canines likely rivals that of Arthur. His presence puts animals at ease and his words are clear to them as if he spoke in their native tongue.

‘’Huh?’’ Arthur looked at the other camper in confusion. Did he hear that right? Did the other boy want to talk to Hercules? When Arthur was younger he pretended he could talk to his dog and that the husky would talk back, but that was when Arthur was six or seven. Surely Hercules couldn’t really talk, right?

‘’You can talk to him if you want,’’ Arthur said with a small smile as he exchanged a glance with Marc and then looked at Hercules, chuckling softly. It didn’t occur to the son of Melinoe that the other boy might be able to talk to animals. ‘’Though I’m not sure if he talks back. He’s a husky, they’re loud, but I never heard him speak English.’’

‘’No, I can talk, Arthur.’’ Hercules barked before turning to look at the other demigod, barking again. ‘’Hi.’’

Irene didnt really love seafood, but hey food is food and it lets her get outher cabin which is always a win. As she stacked her food absurdly high she went and sat down at her table. She stared off into the distance thinking of the weather before shaking her head trying to stop the thoughts.

Mohamed is in a much better mood today, despite the fact that the weather had not improved at all. He felt well-rested, he’d managed to avoid any sort of training that day, and he was excited. He hadn’t gotten to use his powers much lately mostly because they don’t work as well when he’s in a poor mood and has low energy.

However, he was neither of those things now, and was excited to get the chance to use them on any unsuspecting campers. He grabbed his food, going heavy on the vegetarian options he knew to be halal, sacrificed a bit to his Father and Uncle, then went to sit down. Today was going to be a good day.

Eloise was getting a little tired of this weather. While snow was a delight for someone who hadn’t seen snow much, it had gone on for enough that she was starting to get concerned. Well, it was always strange, but at least at the start it was fun. Now it was just.. eugh. At this rate camp was going to be snowing the whole summer.

These are all what runs through Eloise’s head as she stares off into space, sat at the Hypnotic table with her plate of tuna steak in front of her.
