RP
Lucky: After dinner, they gathered 'round the camp fire like how it's always done. They'd sing songs together and their energy kept the fire alive. Well, at least that was how Lucky saw it. Whenever the campers' energy was up, the fire would grow bigger and the colors were livelier and when the energy's down, so were the flames. He was singing his heart out as he swayed from left to right. For him, those were the times when he'd have real bonding with his half-siblings aside from meal time.

Thea: Songs, dances, and endless laughter. Yes, the traditional bonfire. It seems so... Mandatory of camps. She wondered why. With the presence of electricity and lightbulbs, fire would be unnecessary, but then again, the warmth was something modern lights couldn't replace. Or perhaps it was an experience, something that cannot be without. Thea pondered this as she sat in silence by the back of the jolly bunch. Her grey eyes stared into the fire thoughtfully, a small, amused smile on her face as she listened to the songs and laughter. Yes, she found amusement in many things. Unfortunately, most of those things didn't amuse everyone else.

Lucky: It was dancing time. Freestyle. Everyone who decided to stay seated just clapped their hands as they set the beat. Being a party lover, of course, Lucky wouldn't want that opportunity to pass so he immediately got his butt of the seat and joined the fun. Some campers just pulled random demigods from their seats to join. First, they did the congo dance and some campers looked obviously ashamed of what they were doing but they just continued anyway and laughed at it. Then they did the arm in arm dance wherein two people would hook their arm on the other while moving in circles then transfer to another. In the midst of fun, Lucky noticed a newbie who was way behind. He ran to her and did his shot at trying to pull camper to join. "Come on!" he said with a wide smile.

Thea: She was new, and it was more than obvious not to make herself obvious until she at least established an acquiantance. The strategy was all mapped out in her head. Yes, that was Thea. Always calculating. What surprised her, however, was a certain male camper who suddenly tried to get her into the action. The young lady blinked, staring at his face a bit longer than she needed to  while her mind debated on what she should do. "No, it's fine." She eventually told him, suddenly feeling exhausted upon having the memory of her arrival at camp dawn in on her. "Maybe next time." This emotion surfaced in her eyes, as they lost a certain sheen that had been there moments ago. The already dreamy looking eyes looked even more dreamy as she receeded in thought, brows knitting together. "Maybe next time."

Lucky: "Awww..." His entusiasm all went down to the drain. "You're no fun," he said with a pouty look but of course he was kidding. It just kind of felt embarrassing that he got rejected. "HI! I'm Lucky! Mind telling me your name!?" he asked her but it was almost as if he was shouting. He had to increase the volume of his voice because the noise was getting in the way.

Thea: The sudden disappearance of energy woke her and she looked back at the older camper with a slight smile. She scooted over and patted the spot next to her for him to sit, unless he decided to go back to dancing, but since he already started a conversation with her, she figured he wanted to stay. At least she figured. The noise was blaring, but at least back there they had more silence. Thea waited for him to sit before leaning to the side, over to him, and said in a composed, clear voice. "Thea. It's nice to meet you, Lucky." However, as she spoke, her eyes were still focused on the activity going on before her. Studying, observing, adapting. Or at least, distracting herself from reality at that moment.

Lucky: He leaned in in order to hear her but just like Thea, he was also watching the other demigods dance and go crazy while listening to what she had to say. "Cool, cool! Nice to meet ya!" He extended his hand to her. "You new here?" he asked.

Thea: She nods and crosses her legs gracefully and shook his hand with a firm grip. "Yes, I'm new. Very new." Thea moved her eyes to look at him this time, taking in his features and memorizing his face. This is Lucky, she told herself, and locked the memory in her mind. "Is it always this lively here?"

Lucky: "Yeah," he replied with a nod. "It is!" Then he turned his head, facing her. He got a second look of her features as well and she looked... familiar. At least her features were. "Say... you look... Asian," he said with a tap of his chin. Then something popped into his head. "Are you a Filipino!?" he asked, a bit jumpy with excitement to the fact that he might have actually finally met a fellow from his homeland.

Thea: "No, but you're close." She replied with an amused smile. Her eyes went back to the fire and propped her chin on her hand in a rather tired fashion. Her brows are ever knitted in thought. After a moment, she looked back at Lucky and tilted her head a bit. "My grandmother is Indonesian, and my grandfather is Dutch. I guess I take more after my grandmother. I was raised in Indonesia, though. I travelled the islands..." She trailed off. "I miss it there."
