TALENT SHOW.
Who: Everyone!
What: The first Camp Half-Blood talent show.
Where: The Arena
When: February 21
After some delays, the camp wide talent show is finally set to go. Or, as Annabeth would call it, CHB Factor, complete with three guests judges to give critique a la the standard reality competition. In the arena is a big stage with the judges’ table off to the side, with seats for Juniper, Mr. D, and Tai. And technically only one of them is actually equipped to do any real judging, but the other two are around to keep the mood light. The performers have a backstage area to prepare themselves for an afternoon of entertainment, leave their instruments or other various props they might need during the show.
The Emcee of the evening is Gabriel Novak. (Much to Annabeth’s chagrin, though she did agree that he would be a more entertaining choice than, well, herself.) She also would like to thank Jason for the idea and Merlin for his rounding up efforts, particularly for a few “secret” performances on the way. This seems to be a good cross-pantheon effort and the excitement in the air is tangible. One can’t help but be proud of their community for coming together for both the good and the bad.
There will be a nice after party after the show, which includes the standard dinner set up buffet style in the middle of camp as well as a large chocolate fountain surrounded by fruits, cakes, and other things to dip into the melted sweet stuff.
Enjoy today, everyone. You deserve a break.

make it sore, arthur. i mean.
There's this really cool tree in the forest. We could go look at it.
[No, this is Arthur's area of expertise and he's clearly going to have to take charge.]
You mean exactly that.
... A tree.
[ For the love of- ]
We're not going to look at a tree for our first date. Isn't there a film you'd like to see? A restaurant you'd like to visit?
[ ... Unless they're still forbidden from leaving the grounds. He pauses, runs a hand over his chin. ]
Have you ever ridden a pegasus before?
okay yes.
[Horror movies are always romantic as far as he's concerned, just like the golden arches. But Arthur's idea isn't bad either.]
No.
[Merlin answers quickly, and there's something sheepish about the way he looks down quickly too.]
I like them, but I've never even ridden a horse, so.
[He rolls his lips together.]
They're beautiful. I don't wanna do something stupid and hurt one.
no subject
[ Horror movies. Of course it'd be horror movies, Arthur's least favourite kind of movie. He just has ... slightly twitchy reactions to suspense, jump-scenes and gore. And ghosts. And monsters. And aliens.
He doesn't like surprises, okay?
Still, he does his very best not to let it show. Dates are about getting to know the other person after all, so if Merlin wants to go to a classic film festival? That's what they'll do. ]
We'll see it. It'll be nice - I haven't been to the cinema in ages.
[ He'll get popcorn. Popcorn is nice and distracting. He attempts a charming smile - one Merlin will surely recognise as a fake - but hey, it's wide and pretty, so hopefully that'll cover his aversion.
That confession, however, plasters genuine surprise across his features. ]
Never? You've never ridden?
[ Preposterous! ]
Remind me to give you a beginner's lesson at some point. [ A pause. ] On a horse, not a pegasus. Step by step and all that.
