Roleplay - Dining Pavillion
Santos: It's the day after Santos has arrived at camp and everyone's arrived at the dining pavillion. He's a loud presence, chatting with the rest of his cabin and a few people he's gotten to know. After excusing himself, he loads up his plate filled with all kinds of food - one, two, three plates piled with pizza, burgers, onion rings, chips, even a gigantic ham he's loaded on top. It's a lot of food for a lanky man such as himself. Wobbling through the field, he trips up, several of the plates going everywhere. 'No!' He leans forward to compensate, catching several of the plates but getting a face full of spaghetti bolognaise in the process.

Kara: Noticing a commotion, Kara turned, only to see a tall new camper tripping and plates going everywhere. "Oh jeez!" Panickedly, she reached out with the power of the winds, the air cushioning and catching the remaining plates. Breathing heavily, she carefully lifted them onto the table beside her. "That was close."

Nata: Nata, the baby sitting Kara's lap, giggled and clapped her tiny hands. "Aablmm! Aaa!"

Santos: "Welp, you are what you eat." Santos shrugs, taking a finger to the pasta sauce on his face and tasting it. Mm. Good. He stands up rather flamboyantly, though he internally curses himself for being a klutz. "I totally meant to do that... Yeah." The camper glances towards the next table over, where most of the plates have been saved by Kara's quick thinking. "Cheers for doing me a solid. I'm an idiot. I don't have any food on my face, do I?" He does.

Kara: Kara smiled. "Yeah, just a little." She pulled a wet wipe from her bag and offered to him. "No problem. You get pretty fast reflexes when you've got a little one like this." She gestured to Nata, who was still giggling quietly at Santos. "Hey, are you new here? I don't think I've seen you around before."

Santos: He gratefully takes the wet-wipe, wiping the last of the pasta sauce from his face and his hair. As Kara gestures to Nata, Santos's eyes light up. Although dark brown, multi-coloured flecks (gold, green, purple?) swirl around his iris. "Aww who's this cutie?" He grins widely, putting down the plate so he can say hello to the baby. "You are, aren't you?" Santos makes a silly face. "Yup, that's me. I arrived a couple days ago. I'm Santos, by the way. Son of Iris."

Nata: Flapping her arms happily, Nata grinned at the new nice man. He was silly! Nata leaned towards him before noticing a french fry on one of his plates. Leaning even farther, almost falling out of Kara's arms, she reached out to try to grab one.

Kara: "Nata!" Kara grabbed Nata and quickly pulled her back to safety. "Sorry! This little bundle of joy is Nata, and she loves french fries ever since she first tried one. Oh, and I'm Kara, daughter of Hera." Carefully holding onto Nata, she offered a hand.

Santos: "No worries. Nothing wrong with a good appetite." Santos shrugs and shakes her hand. "She can have a fry if she wants. They're good." To prove his point, he takes a bit of a fry which makes a loud crunch. "How long have you both been at camp then?"

Kara: Kara took a small fry and fed it to an eager Nata, who chewed vigorously. "A little under a year. It's... safe. Although I do miss a friend, and it can a little lonely sometimes... I don't have a ton of friends." She focused on the plate in front of her. "Saskatoon Broadway Cafe Fries." A plate of deliciously seasoned and salted fries popped into existence on her plate. "But hey, I'm getting better at it."

She turned to Santos with a grin across her face. "You know you could've waited until you sat down to summon the food, right?" She tried not to giggle.

Nata: Nata's eyes went wide at seeing the fries in front of her - her favorite! Santos's fries forgotten, she carefully took one of Kara's and bit it to the best of her ability - despite still not having teeth.

Santos: "Thinking ahead isn't exactly a skill of mine. But oh well, can't be perfect." He winks and takes the opportunity to steal a fry. It is obviously good, as he sneaks another one. "Wow. What do they put in these? I'll have to visit and get the recipe sometime." He grins cheekily. "Well I can't compete with that, but I can do this." In a flash, Santos summons a ball of light into both his hands. It has a gentle glow and shifts color as it moves. "Sounds like you're a long way from home. But count me if you'll have me. I'll do my best to avoid throwing any rogue plates in the future."

Kara: "Thanks." She looked at the sphere of light. "Not bad. Beginning to get the hang of your powers, huh?"

Nata: Eyes widening, Nata immediately was enthralled by the pretty light in front of her. "Aaa..." She reached towards it, clearly curious and in wonder.

Santos: "I'm a man of many talents. Handsome, strong, modest too." He teased. "I guess so. I've been in the know a couple of years so I know a couple of tricks." As he raised a hand, the orb drifted closer to Nata, softly changing to a calming blue then a soft lilac, then orange. "It's great when I'm working on my latest piece. How about you? If you're Hera's daughter, you must be packing some serious firepower or air-power I guess."

Kara: Kara smiled slightly. "Maybe a bit. Queen of the gods, all that, so I've got some power over air and earth. There's a couple other things, but I'll save some of those secrets until they're needed. Suffice to say I'm no pushover in a fight." She sent a small gust of wind to mess up Santos's hair, her smile widening.

Santos: "International woman of mystery. I like it." Santos concedes, holding onto his beanie for dear life. The rest of his hair flaps around and covers his face. He blows a tuft of his hair upwards so he can see. "Hey. Not the hair. I have to keep up appearances alright?"

Kara: "Heh, alright. Not international though - I'm actually a California girl." Kara bit another fry. "Not as cool as everyone makes it out to be, but not bad either. It was nice..." She paused. "At least, until a Chimera almost killed me and stuff. But that ended up with me coming here, so I guess things turned out ok - even if it was all unexpected." She ruffled Nata's hair. "Good things came out of it too."

Nata: While the pair talked, Nata had been swatting at the orb as it got closer, and was now opening her tiny mouth as wide as possible to try to taste it. "Aa! Aaah!"

Santos: "I'll have to start calling you Hollywood then." Santos teases, arcing both his eyebrows. "That's pretty rad. Hear the waves out there are amazing, and the skating.." He stares off a little dreamily. "That's usually how things go. I'm technically here on leave, got attacked by a flock of Stymphalian birds. Fell off while I was shredding, sprained my ankle." Santos says with a little embarrassment. "Awww who's a cutie? Trying to taste the rainbows. You are. Yes, you are." He smiles and makes a funny face for Nata.

Kara: Kara thought for a moment. "Yeah, the waves aren't too bad. I was never much of a beach girl." She smiled lovingly at Nata as the little girl saw Santos's antics. "Hey, do you want to hold her? She's usually ok with strangers, and she's definitely liking you so far."

Santos: "I'm a Brooklyn man myself. Didn't have surfing weather but sometimes I'd sit by the Hudson, watching peeps go about their business." Santos smiles nostalgically. "Great for food too. There's this hot dog stand around the block from me..." He trails off. "What kind of girl were you back then?" He asks with genuine curiosity. "I'll take the complement. Course I'd love to hold her."

Kara: "Ok." Kara smiled and carefully handed Nata to Santos. "Well, to be honest... I was a bit of a video game fan. Wow, I haven't thought about that in ages..."

Nata: Nata looked up curiously at Santos. He seemed very very nice. Was he Da maybe?

Kara: Kara blinked. "Oh, sorry, didn't mean to space out. Um, yeah, I guess the only hobby I really have these days is baking cookies every so often. Otherwise I'm just being a mom."

Santos: "What we talking? Mortal Kombat? Animal Crossing?" Santos asks. "Maybe I'll show you the arcades sometime. I'm a pro at Dance Dance Revolution." He says playfully. He sits down and opens his arms to hold Nata. "Yea, I get it." He grins and gently bounces Nata up and down on his knee. "Like being the cool older brother myself. He recalls his time teaching Alec with a smile. Poor kid didn't know what to expect. "You're a great mom though. I respect that."

Kara: "Aw, thanks..." Kara blushed. "I was definitely a Nintendo girl. Squishing Goombas, filling my Pokedex, the whole shebam." She grinned mischieviously. "Maybe I'll have to whip you in Mariokart one day."

Nata: "AAAaaaaAAaaaaAaaaaAAAAaaaAAAAaaa..." Nata babbled as she bounced up and down with a grin as wide as a banana. "Abplmanmn!" Whee, this was fun!

Santos: "Whoa easy there. That's fighting talk. Isn't the main track, Rainbow Road? He grins cheekily."Aww who's ready to go uppppppp.... and then downnnnnnnn and uppppppp. Wherever." His knee bounces happen to come with improvised sound effects.

Kara: Kara smirked. "You mean the one I can take down in two minutes and thirty seconds?" She looked over at Nata. "Wow, she's just in love with you, huh?"

Nata: Giggling madly, Nata squealed as she bounced. She suddenly stopped babbling though, and looked at Santos with a neutral expression.

Kara: "Oh no." Kara tried to reach forward and reach Nata. "Santos, watch out for-"

Nata: Kara being a second too late, Nata spit up directly onto Santos's shirt, looking very surprised.

Kara: Trying very hard not to laugh, Kara grabbed a wet wipe and began cleaning up Santos and Nata. "S-sorry..."

Santos: Santos suddenly became quiet. (A rarity). He looked down slowly to the baby barf on his shirt then back to Kara. "Welp... I probably had that coming. You could save me from the bolognaise but not the barf."

Kara: Kara couldn't hold it back anymore and wholeheartedly laughed as she wiped off all of the remaining spit-up. "I should have warned you! At least it's all coming off ok."

Nata: Nata laughed along with her mom, giggling so hard that her tiny face was turning slightly red.

Santos: For the first time, Santos turned a little bit red. After a second, he starts to laugh too. "No worries, it'll wash out. Hey, there's not by any chance, some magical launderette that does the chores for you?"

Kara: "Nope, but I'd be happy to wash it out for you if necessary. Although there should be a laundry machine in your cabin." Kara carefully aimed and threw the wipe across the pavillion perfectly into a trash can before continuing to eat her fries.

Nata: Still giggling, Nata grabbed onto Santos's shirt to stay upright. "Ahehehehe! Ahehe! Hehehehehe! Ahe... Ahehe..." Calming down slowly, she began to cozy up to Santos's chest, feeling his body warmth.

OOC Discussion
Flop: I should probably elaborate - the Broadway Cafe in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan has some of the best fries in the world, even better than McDonalds <3
