HALLOWEEN PARTY

[halfbloodhillmods]

Who: The entire camp!
What: Mr. D has moved up his festival of Apokries to coincide with Halloween! It's time to party! Where: All around the camp!
When: Thursday, October 31st
Why: Because, why not?

It was decided earlier in the month that to coincide with the holiday of Halloween, and to give campers a bit of fun after all this nonsense, that Mr. D would be holding his festival of Apokries early! As such the entire camp has been decked out in all sorts of spoooooky decorations.

It's as though a carnival has been set up over night, with music and food all around. There are satyrs and nymphs handing out candy at cabins (smarties for Athena, warheads for Ares, ect.) for any people wanting to trick or treat,  and campers running around in costumes. 

The ampitheatre has once again become a designated dancing spot, and Apollo might have returned to DJ, the arena miiiight have been transformed into a bit of a Haunted House (with special thanks to Hecate), and Demeter has set up a corn maze for campers to navigate through! 

It's time to have some fun!

Magic.

[Seriously, why do people forget that?]

...betting is difficult when you can't bet money.

[somatophylax]

I wouldn't cast magic around them. They can get spooked pretty easily. And besides, if you lose and take a chore from me, so long as it's done completely and satisfactorily, it wouldn't matter to me how it gets there.

It's not that I can't bet money. It's that I don't care to. It makes betting more complicated, but not impossible.

Isn't there some pesky little task you'd rather pass off onto someone else if you win a wager like this?

[willyouwalk]

Please, if they're spooked by a little water spell you've got bigger problems than the Red Room. I don't have any annoying tasks here, since all my work is back in San Francisco.

[Tybalt thinks for a moment]

...you wouldn't happen to have a way to get something from Europe, would you?

[somatophylax]

That is a distinct possibility, yes. Either from my father or a friend over there. What do you have in mind?

[willyouwalk]

Decent tea.

[Hey, he's British]

[somatophylax]

I'm fairly certain that can be accomplished. Do we have a wager then? First to the finish or the last to retreat is considered the winner.

[He goes to shake before he pauses]

Wait--what do you want?

[somatophylax]

[there's a brief moment and then it can be seen on his face when he gets his idea of what to ask for]

Teach me ancient Egyptian. Or of you're not the best teacher, show me enough to get me started.

[willyouwalk]

I can't teach you magic, but I'll teach you a few phrases that may be useful if we're to be allies. Fair?

[somatophylax]

I can't use the magic anyway if it comes from your gods. But the language itself... a few key phrases would be perfect.
