*{{Post|Emilio|Emilio chuckled slightly as he noticed Haze thinking he’s cute or something. He didn’t consider his thought about Overthinking wise. He considered Haze was wise, not him. “You’re poetic”, he said, referring to her follow up to his thought about overthinking. “No, sister”, he said. “You are the one making me hungry. Also, ‘fake diet’?” He didn’t understand the concept. “Yeah, you’re right. This place is nice. Do you know why? Because camp is full of teenagers. Energetic, filthy teenagers.” He was overlooking the fact that he was a teenager himself.}}

*{{Post|Haze| "And so are you," she complimented back. "Yeah, you know, when girls say they're on a diet but keep drinking boba after the gym." She laughed, guilty as she pleaded. The daughter of Zeus nodded at Emilio's description. "Teenagers who never got through the angsty stage. I suggest you stay away from certain death cabins and especially the Hermes cabin. Though, I heard the new Hermes counsellor's reforming that." By Emilio's post, they should have arrived at the barbecue place.}}

  +
*{{Post|Emilio|”Poetic?”, he asked. “Me? You’re kidding!”, he chuckled. “Wait a second”, he said in response to the comment about the fake diet. “That’s possible?!” He assumed Haze and himself were the kind of teenagers that ''did'' get through the angsts stage. He didn’t know what kind of connection Hermes had with the likes of Hades or Thanatos, but he agreed. “I’m glad they are”, he said referring to the new Hermes counselor.}}
  +
*{{Post|OOC (Emi)|By the way, do you know the new Hermes Counselor?}}
  +
*{{Post|OOC| Yeah, it's Yorkie's character. HAHAHAHA}}
  +
*{{Post|Haze| The daughter of Zeus nodded to affirm her compliment. "Yeah, I do that." She laughed at his question on the possibility. Haze mentioned the Hermes cabin, due to their notorious pranks. " Years ago, Hermes kids would have egged campers coming out of their cabins, but I'm glad they've matured. Well, I can't really blame them. Even I had a bad angst phase with my mortal parents." She laughed.}}
  +
*{{Post|Emilio|Emilio looked at his sister and smiled. He wasn’t quite proud of her for cheating diet or anything, but he chuckled. She was definitely an enjoyable company. As for the Hermes cabin, he definitely knew what she was talking about. He had been one entire summer with them when he was their age. “I’m glad they matured too, but hey! Who didn’t have a bad angst phase as a kid? Especially when talking about half-bloods?”}}
  +
*{{Post|Haze| "True. It's a blessing to not be full of questionable life decisions at one point." Once they reached the kbbq place, the duo were escorted to their seats. The table with a grill divided the two of them. Waiters came by and placed side dishes like kimchi, fish cake, onion, soup, rice, steamed egg, pickled radish, and among others. The sight itself was filling. "I hope it's good." She chuckled, watching everything happen in front of them. "By the way, do you know how to use chopsticks?" Yes, she had friends who didn't.}}
  +
*{{Post|Emilio|“You’re right”, he answers. “I don’t want a life like that, regretting every decision I made”. As they arrived to the place, he admired how it looked. He looked at all the food and his stomach started growling. He hadn’t seen dishes like that in his lifetime, so everything would be new to him. He liked trying new things. It looked amazing. “I hope it is”, he answered, smiling at his sister.}}
  +
*{{Post|Haze| "True, it's best to just let things go and let life please. Imagine being an immortal with so much vengeance." Then again, Haze remembered Nemesis, so she kept quiet after. The daughter of Zeus then chuckled. "Yeah, dig in." She broke her chopsticks in half and gestured for Emilio to try the food first.}}
  +
*{{Post|Emilio|As his sister spoke of an immortal filled with vengeance, he remembered the same being as her. He didn’t speak her name either. “It would be horrible”, he answered her. He smiled at her. He nodded, intending to try the food first. He attempted, and failed, to break his chopsticks in half. “Really?”, he thought to himself. If he told Haze he had done this before, she probably wouldn’t believe him.}}
  +
*{{Post|Haze| The daughter of Zeus laughed. She found it funny how the two of them mentally connected over Nemesis and refused to name her - both shying away from her retribution. Upon seeing Emilio break his chopsticks with difficulty, a waiter replaced them with metal ones. "It's either the quality sucks, or you just break chopsticks with the same force you use to break hearts." She joked.}}
  +
*{{Post|Emilio|He smiled at her. He found it both funny and interesting that they were mentally connected in such a way. Was it a sibling thing? He didn’t know, and that only made it even more interesting to him. As the waiter replaced his chopsticks with metal ones, Emilio blushed bright red in shame. He understood her joke, but it wasn’t the case. If he used the same force he uses to break hearts, he wouldn’t use any because he can’t bring himself to, and Haze knows it perfectly well.}}
  +
*{{Post|Haze| She chuckled. "Don't worry. Only I saw it, and family doesn't count." She referred to his embarrassed expression. “Hey Emi, how's training been going by the way?” Haze was recently training one of her half-siblings, so she, being his previous lieutenant, was also curious about his growth. While waiting for a reply, she cooked the meat on the grill.}}
  +
*{{Post|Emilio|Emilio smiled. She was right. He fully trusted her, and knew she wouldn’t say anything embarrassing about him. “Training?”, he repeated. “It’s going excellent! I’ve been training with a friend of mine, I doubt you know her. Her name’s Genevieve.” He remembered perfectly well his sister was once lieutenant, and he supposed she was curious about how he’s been, seeing they hadn’t seen each other in two years.}}
  +
*{{Post|Haze| "Oh, which cabin is she from?" She asked curiously about this Genevieve person. Moreover, she was female, so Haze was interested. Once the meat had finished cooking, she placed big cuts on Emilio's plate and the rest on hers.}}
  +
*{{Post|Emilio|Emilio was surprised by his sister’s sudden ‘shipper on deck’ attitude. “From Aglaea’s Cabin”, he explained. “I met her, like, two summers ago”, he said. He looked at the meat cuts, and his stomach started growling.}}
  +
*{{Post|Haze| Since they were on Emilio's plate, she gestured for him to try it first. "Dip it in one of these. Personally, I like cheese or this red sauce (ssamjang) best." The three sauces were sesame oil, ssamjang (red sweet paste), and spicy sauce. The grill also had melted cheese on the side. "So, what's Genevieve like, and why haven't you talked about her until today?" She wondered with a wide cheshire grin. Algaea children were often beautiful - like their mother who saw beauty in a kind but ugly man like Hephaestus.}}
  +
*{{Post|Emilio|He decided to try it out, yet couldn’t decide in what to dip it. He liked trying new things and had heard this ssamjang was sweet. He loved sweet things. Then again, he also liked cheese. Or spicy things. He made up his mind, he decided to try them all. “That red sauce is sweet, right? I think I’ll try it” he said. He then proceeded to answer her question about Genevieve. If he had any doubts that she shipped them, they were all clear by now. “She’s amazing. She’s nice, outgoing, she loves to help everybody...”, he said. “And it’s clear she’s a child of Aglaea, she’s beautiful.” He answered her second question. “I guess it’s because I thought it was no use, that she wouldn’t even look at me the same way.” He loved Aglaea’s love story, he thought it was beautiful.}}
  +
*{{Post|Haze| "It is." She affirmed the sweetness of the red sauce. It was a mix of sweet and salty. She watched Emilio take a bite. "If you have so many compliments about her, why didn't you court her?" Haze butted in. However, her question was answered in his next statement. "Hmmm... how do you know? HAve you tried?" Often times, Haze believed it was possible to change someone's attraction, especially after being long time friends.}}
  +
*{{Post|Emilio|”I’m sold!”, he said, regarding the red sauce. If it is a mixture of sweet and salty, he is going to enjoy it even more than he expected. He didn’t mind Haze butting in. He actually enjoyed talking to her about romance. She is one of the very few people he feels comfortable with talking about it. Another reason he didn’t try anything is probably his own self-doubt. “Actually no”, he explained. “I haven’t tried.” If Haze was right, then he may have a chance.}}
  +
*{{Post|Haze| Haze was glad Emi liked the sauce. For her, it meant he also accepted her culture, which felt great. "Mhm. You should go for it, if she is really that nice. If things don't work out, you could always find someone else." She smiled. "Are you more conservative towards online dating?" At one point, she met her 'ex' Joo-Won, a son of Nemesis, online as well. The two, however, did not work out due to conflict of schedules. The former wanted to be a Korean idol, so it took tons of time.}}
  +
*{{Post|Emilio|Emilio had always liked trying new things, and trying things relating to the culture of his sister only made it even better. “I think I really should”, he responded to the comment about trying to court Genevieve. He also appreciated his sister’s positive way of thinking. “Actually, I’m not too conservative about anything”, he smiled. He however hadn’t tried online dating, the only girls he has dated he mat them at school.}}
  +
*{{Post|Haze| Haze found it sweet that Genny was being eyed by Emi. However, she didn't want him to get attached before anything happened. That's why she presented online dating. "Then you should give it a go," she suggested. Perhaps, Emi has heard about Haze's former lover. From time to time, she does miss him, but oh well. In about 4 posts overall, the two would finish their meal. Another feature Korean barbecue places had was their k-pop playlist.}}
  +
*{{Post|Emilio|Emilio didn’t know why or how Haze supported his crush on Genevieve, but he appreciated the fact that she did. He also didn’t know why she mentioned online dating. Maybe she had a backup plan or something. “You’re totally right!”, he said about trying online dating for once. He hadn’t about Haze’s former online lover, but he was curious about the concept. As they were about to finish their meal, he thought on what they could do next.}}
  +
*{{Post|Haze| It was just Haze's nature to like shipping her friends or loved ones. Perhaps, she thought of life in a more long-term manner. Often times, even friends would only see each other once a year or so. Thus, a life partner would be nice in the lonely nights. Moreover, extra hand for work was appreciated. Once the two were an hour in, Haze started to feel full. She chuckled bashfully as the waiter served a scoop of sesame ice cream for each of them. "I am so full..."}}
  +
*{{Post|Emilio|Emilio and Haze had another thing in common. He was also a hardcore shipper. He too considered love a wonderful thing, and something to rely on when you are feeling lonely. He then saw the waiter and smiled as he looked ya gone ice cream. He hadn’t tried sesame ice cream before either. He looked at Haze as she commented she was full. “So, the ice cream’s a no-no?”, he chuckled. He was only teasing her.}}
  +
*{{Post|Haze| "Can I have only one teaspoon, and you take the rest?" Her eyes glimmered with hope and plea, wishing Emilio would help her not waste food. In KBBQ restaurants, they often charged customers with leftovers as to not let them abuse the free-flowing meat, side dishes, and other food.}}
  +
*{{Post|Emilio|He smiled at her. He knew she wouldn’t let any food go to waste, however he didn’t know about the method KBBQ restaurants used. If he knew, he would probably call it genius or some other praising word. “Of course you can”, he giggled at her ‘puppy-dog eyes’.}}
  +
*{{Post|Haze| Haze was grateful that Emi understood her need to not waste food. She ate as said and passed the bowl to Emi. He now had 1 and 3/4 scoops to finish. "Thanks, bro. You're a life saver. I'm slightly grateful that this pandemic cancelled all the events, or I'd have to find a way to fit into my dresses." She laughed.}}
  +
{{Post|Emilio|He didn’t just understand Haze’s need to not waste food, he had the same need as well. They didn’t realize it, but they had pretty similar personalities. The 1 and 3/4 scoops weren’t hard core him, actually the ice cream was quite tasty. “You’re welcome sis, it’s no big deal.” He didn’t understand how the dresses comment was related to y jay but he chuckled. “What do you mean a way to fit into them?”}}

{{{1}}}
Character's Bio


 Age: 21  Height: 5'5  Weight: 122 lbs
 Sexuality: Heterosexual  Relationship Status: Single
 Birth Place: Taichung, Taiwan  Main Weapon: Twin Hooked Swords
~The Lightning Debater

Character's Powers

 Powers of a daughter of Zeus (Early Power-Up):

Offensive

  1. Children of Zeus can manipulate latent electricity in the atmosphere, focusing it into a lightning strike. Static can be seen building up around the target briefly before the strike.
  2. Children of Zeus have the ability to flow an electrical current into any sort of metal weaponry which will shock anyone it strikes; the current can only be maintained while they are holding the weapon.

Defensive

  1. Children of Zeus have the ability to emanate a field of electrical static which stuns anyone nearby for a short time. They cannot move while maintaining the field.
  2. Children of Zeus can launch a powerful gust of wind in all directions, repelling attacks and potentially sending enemies flying.

Passive

  1. Children of Zeus are innately immune to electrocution.
  2. Children of Zeus can communicate with and command birds.
  3. Children of Zeus are innately stronger during severe weather, and are less inhibited by wind and precipitation.
  4. Children of Zeus's bodies give off harmless levels of electricity that can power or short-circuit electronics if they wish.
  5. Children of Zeus need much less oxygen to survive, letting them breathe normally at high altitudes or hold their breaths for long periods.

Supplementary

  1. Children of Zeus have the ability to control the winds to hover or fly, however, the longer they fly the more it drains them.
  2. Children of Zeus have the ability to call upon the winds to speed their movements or attacks; this can also be used oppositely to slow the movements or attacks of others.
  3. Children of Zeus are able to call a flock of birds to their aid, that will then help to either defend or attack for a short time.
  4. Children of Zeus are able to cause a booming thunderclap, deafening and potentially stunning anyone nearby for a few seconds.

3 Months After Character is Made

  1. Children of Zeus can summon a weather front of their choice to an area, such as creating a thunderstorm, snowstorm, high winds, heat wave, or any other natural form of weather. The longer the change is maintained, and the more extreme the change from the current climate, the more they are drained.

6 Months After Character is Made

  1. Children of Zeus are able to transform into an eagle at will, allowing them to move undetected, scout their surroundings, and fly long distances without tiring. The longer they sustain this form, the more time they need to rest between transformations.

9 Months After Character is Made

  1. Children of Zeus can call down a lightning strike from the heavens, directly onto themselves, and absorb its full power into their bodies for a short time. In this state, the user is much stronger and faster, static electricity emanates from their skin, and all of their powers over lightning are substantially increased. Once the energy subsides, the user is left heavily weakened from the strain on their muscles, and they may be unable to move for a long time.

Traits

  1. Children of Zeus generally make strong leaders.
  2. Children of Zeus are generally good at predicting the weather, as Zeus was also the god of weather.
  3. Children of Zeus are rarely afraid of heights.
  4. In some cases children of Zeus are prone to being claustrophobic, as they generally prefer open spaces.

RP

  • Haze: "One way to find out!" She beamed in replying to Emilio. The two half-sibling travelled to New Athens as planned. Right now, they were steps away from the Themis test, where they were to be scanned and deemed qualified for entry. "It's a good thing that only Themis kids are here. I heard the Psyche ones can get into our minds and read them."
  • Emilio: Emilio was happy as he walked with his sister to New Athens. He wondered how the Themis test would turn out, but he was confident that they would be allowed in. “He who fears is only because they hide something”, he repeated someone’s motto he didn’t remember. “I can’t fear mind reading if I don’t have anything to hide”, he smiled. In reality, he had a LOT to hide.
  • Haze: "Pft." The daughter of Zeus laughed. "Let's be honest. Everyone has a loooott of things to hide." She nudged him playfully. "Especially teenage boys." She suggested, remembering how her cousin was once protective of his browser history. Eventually, it was their turn. Haze easily stepped in and out of the scanner. "Hmmm... guess it might just be the loyalty to the gods."
  • Emilio: Emilio didn’t look happy. He didn’t know if she knew what he was hiding, but it was better to not try and find out. He smiled when she nudged him, to dissimulate the fact that she might or might not know everything. “What do you mean especially teenage boys?”, he asked. He knew what she meant. Soon enough it was his turn. “Finally”, he thought. He stepped in and out of the scanner as easily as his sister.
  • OOC: I'll be half-away these 3 days. Going to be busy.
  • Haze: Luckily for her half-brother, Haze wasn't able to notice his quick change in expression. "I don't have to remind you to clear your browser history." She laughed. After Emilio passed the scanner, she added in friendly jest. "Guess that browser history wasn't that bad." The daughter of Zeus then stared in front of a big map of the Golden City. "Hmm... so many places. Ice cream parlor, a nightclub, an LGBT nightclub." She mentioned the last in amusement. Made sense. "Library... wait, we even have a marriage temple? Wow."
  • Emilio: He knew exactly what she was talking about, and strategically obfuscated stupidity. “What are you talking about? What browser history?”, he looked at her. “Something That doesn’t exist can’t be bad”, he responded as he walked towards the map. “Even a marriage temple?”, he asked. “These people are seriously prepared.” He then thought of something. “What could there be to eat?”
  • Haze: The daughter of Zeus rolled her eyes. "I don't have to explain porn to you, brother." She laughed at him deleting all his history. "Hmmm... there's a burger joint. A fancy restaurant. A Korean BBQ place. Your choice, although I don't think we're dressed fancy enough for that French one." She chuckled, remembering fond memories of her back in Taiwan. "My friend was once kicked out of a 5 star hotel bar for wearing pajamas, even if he was a billionaire."
  • Emilio: He chuckled as she rolled her eyes. “No, you don’t have to explain it”, he said. “However, I do not know why you think I would watch that.” “Wow”, he said. “There’s a lot of food options. You’re right. I think we deserve that French fancy one”, he grinned. He didn’t have such funny memories, but he laughed a bit at hers. “Are you serious?” To be honest, he thought it was to be expected. Money can’t buy some kinds of things, and that was one of them.
  • Haze: Her eyes widened at Emilio's statement. Haze was unable to believe it. "That's impossible, unless you're extremely religious. In that case, you'd kill yourself at the revelation that you're dad's kid." According to the map, the French one required a proper dress code. Upon seeing this, Haze sighed. " "We do, but I think we should choose between the burger joint or the korean bbq place. The French one might kick us out." She then continued her friend's story. "Yeah. It was so funny when he got all mad at all his friends for being random and drove home to change."
  • Emilio: He smiled. He knew the statement would surprise her. He wasn’t extremely religious, which is why he didn’t have an existential crisis at the revelation that he was a son of Zeus. He was just a decent actor. Decent enough to convince his sister that he was quite innocent, which was a HUGE LIE. “Not really that religious”, he admitted. When he heard about the dress code, he looked down in disappointment. “You’re right. That dress code is quite too much”, he admitted. He agreed on the decision of going to either the burger joint of the Korean place. He knew that Asian people get EXTREMELY MAD when one confuses Korea with either Japan or China, and that his sister was from China (not the other two), so he decided not to comment anything about going to the Korean place for Haze’s Asian heritage. “He got mad at THEM instead of the other way around?”
  • Haze: "Impossible, everyone has needs!" While the daughter of Zeus was a good bullshit detector, her brother's sex life was not something she'd like to even debunk. Haze cringed. "To be honest, I'm not sure if you're lying or not, but I don't wanna know. I don't feel like I should know." She laughed. Luckily for her, Emilio knew how Asian people would be ticked at confusing the different cultures. However, she still did not get her answer. Thus, she asked. "So, which is it?" Maybe they could come back for French another day. "Yeah, 'cause it's a random invite. You know, those times when you can't sleep at night, so you phone up your friends."
  • Emilio: “Look, yiu’re the person I trust most at Camp. That should give you an idea of wether or not to believe in my word”, he said. He didn’t know how to respond to his sister’s comment about his sex life, so he changed the topic. “I’m not sure”, he said. “I want to try out this Korean one, but I didn’t want you to misinterpret it and think it’s because you’re Asian”, he explained. “Then, we can come back to the French one another time.” He also answered her comment about phoning up their friends at night. “Yeah. It happens.” He doesn’t do it often, but he has texted some friends in the middle of the night.
  • Haze: "Awwwwwww. How sweet of you." Haze found his words adorable, so she interlocked their arms together like pre-school siblings. Of course, she didn't want to create awkward air in describing his private life in public. Eventually, she laughed. "You think too much, dear brother. Ask any Asian. When they go to a foreigner's land, all they want to do is go back home and eat their own cuisine. Korean, it is!" Since her adoptive father was Korean, Haze did share a liking towards the food she grew up with. "Have you ever tried Korean cuisine before?"
  • Emilio: ”What can I say?”, he said. “I’m cute. That’s who I am.” He found it even cuter that they interlocked their arms like he used to do it with his friend in preschool. They weren’t creating any awkward air at all. “Yeah, I do think too much, what can I say?” He knew all Asians would want to taste cuisine from home when they are in other places. Actually, it applied to anyone from anywhere in the world. “Korean it is!” He didn’t know she had at least a bit of Korean in her heritage. “No, I actually haven’t ever tried Korean cuisine”, he admitted shyly.
  • Haze: Haze chuckled at Emilio's self-complimenting. "Well, that's true. Confidence is key." With their arms interlocked, Haze tugged Emilio gleefully towards the direction of the restaurant. "Yeah, but it's not always a bad thing. Thinking too much, I mean. I can't wait for you to try it! What's your favorite cuisine so far?" She wondered. The daughter of Zeus half-wanted to convert him like a priest, given that she grew up with Asian cuisine.
  • Emilio: Emilio smiled at her, posing. He chuckled. “Ok, I’m looking a bit... self-absorbed.” Still with their arms interlocked, he walked with her towards the restaurant with her. “Yeah, you’re right. Overthinking can be either your weakness or your biggest strength. I don’t know”, he smiled. “Yeah, and I can’t wait yo you it! My favorite cuisine so far... I don’t know”, he explained. “I love everything!” He didn’t know her intentions, but would she be Evelin to convert him?
  • Haze: Haze laughed and rolled her eyes. She found Emilio's antics quite adorable. "True. You don't know whether you're outsmarting the enemy or pausing yourself." She referred to his short sentence of wisdom. "You're making me hungry just thinking of everything. This is bad for my fake diet, you know." The duo could see other buildings as they pass. "You know, this place is nicer to take a walk in. Less muddy grounds, cobbled roads. No littering. Why can't camp be this classy?"
  • Emilio: Emilio chuckled slightly as he noticed Haze thinking he’s cute or something. He didn’t consider his thought about Overthinking wise. He considered Haze was wise, not him. “You’re poetic”, he said, referring to her follow up to his thought about overthinking. “No, sister”, he said. “You are the one making me hungry. Also, ‘fake diet’?” He didn’t understand the concept. “Yeah, you’re right. This place is nice. Do you know why? Because camp is full of teenagers. Energetic, filthy teenagers.” He was overlooking the fact that he was a teenager himself.
  • Haze: "And so are you," she complimented back. "Yeah, you know, when girls say they're on a diet but keep drinking boba after the gym." She laughed, guilty as she pleaded. The daughter of Zeus nodded at Emilio's description. "Teenagers who never got through the angsty stage. I suggest you stay away from certain death cabins and especially the Hermes cabin. Though, I heard the new Hermes counsellor's reforming that." By Emilio's post, they should have arrived at the barbecue place.
  • Emilio: ”Poetic?”, he asked. “Me? You’re kidding!”, he chuckled. “Wait a second”, he said in response to the comment about the fake diet. “That’s possible?!” He assumed Haze and himself were the kind of teenagers that did get through the angsts stage. He didn’t know what kind of connection Hermes had with the likes of Hades or Thanatos, but he agreed. “I’m glad they are”, he said referring to the new Hermes counselor.
  • OOC (Emi): By the way, do you know the new Hermes Counselor?
  • OOC: Yeah, it's Yorkie's character. HAHAHAHA
  • Haze: The daughter of Zeus nodded to affirm her compliment. "Yeah, I do that." She laughed at his question on the possibility. Haze mentioned the Hermes cabin, due to their notorious pranks. " Years ago, Hermes kids would have egged campers coming out of their cabins, but I'm glad they've matured. Well, I can't really blame them. Even I had a bad angst phase with my mortal parents." She laughed.
  • Emilio: Emilio looked at his sister and smiled. He wasn’t quite proud of her for cheating diet or anything, but he chuckled. She was definitely an enjoyable company. As for the Hermes cabin, he definitely knew what she was talking about. He had been one entire summer with them when he was their age. “I’m glad they matured too, but hey! Who didn’t have a bad angst phase as a kid? Especially when talking about half-bloods?”
  • Haze: "True. It's a blessing to not be full of questionable life decisions at one point." Once they reached the kbbq place, the duo were escorted to their seats. The table with a grill divided the two of them. Waiters came by and placed side dishes like kimchi, fish cake, onion, soup, rice, steamed egg, pickled radish, and among others. The sight itself was filling. "I hope it's good." She chuckled, watching everything happen in front of them. "By the way, do you know how to use chopsticks?" Yes, she had friends who didn't.
  • Emilio: “You’re right”, he answers. “I don’t want a life like that, regretting every decision I made”. As they arrived to the place, he admired how it looked.

The daughter of Zeus then chuckled. "Yeah, dig in." She broke her chopsticks in half and gestured for Emilio to try the food first.
  • Emilio: As his sister spoke of an immortal filled with vengeance, he remembered the same being as her. He didn’t speak her name either. “It would be horrible”, he answered her. He smiled at her. He nodded, intending to try the food first. He attempted, and failed, to break his chopsticks in half. “Really?”, he thought to himself. If he told Haze he had done this before, she probably wouldn’t believe him.
  • Haze: The daughter of Zeus laughed. She found it funny how the two of them mentally connected over Nemesis and refused to name her - both shying away from her retribution. Upon seeing Emilio break his chopsticks with difficulty, a waiter replaced them with metal ones. "It's either the quality sucks, or you just break chopsticks with the same force you use to break hearts." She joked.
  • Emilio: He smiled at her. He found it both funny and interesting that they were mentally connected in such a way. Was it a sibling thing? He didn’t know, and that only made it even more interesting to him. As the waiter replaced his chopsticks with metal ones, Emilio blushed bright red in shame. He understood her joke, but it wasn’t the case. If he used the same force he uses to break hearts, he wouldn’t use any because he can’t bring himself to, and Haze knows it perfectly well.
  • Haze: She chuckled. "Don't worry. Only I saw it, and family doesn't count." She referred to his embarrassed expression. “Hey Emi, how's training been going by the way?” Haze was recently training one of her half-siblings, so she, being his previous lieutenant, was also curious about his growth. While waiting for a reply, she cooked the meat on the grill.
  • Emilio: Emilio smiled. She was right. He fully trusted her, and knew she wouldn’t say anything embarrassing about him. “Training?”, he repeated. “It’s going excellent! I’ve been training with a friend of mine, I doubt you know her. Her name’s Genevieve.” He remembered perfectly well his sister was once lieutenant, and he supposed she was curious about how he’s been, seeing they hadn’t seen each other in two years.
  • Haze: "Oh, which cabin is she from?" She asked curiously about this Genevieve person. Moreover, she was female, so Haze was interested. Once the meat had finished cooking, she placed big cuts on Emilio's plate and the rest on hers.
  • Emilio: Emilio was surprised by his sister’s sudden ‘shipper on deck’ attitude. “From Aglaea’s Cabin”, he explained. “I met her, like, two summers ago”, he said. He looked at the meat cuts, and his stomach started growling.
  • Haze: Since they were on Emilio's plate, she gestured for him to try it first. "Dip it in one of these. Personally, I like cheese or this red sauce (ssamjang) best." The three sauces were sesame oil, ssamjang (red sweet paste), and spicy sauce. The grill also had melted cheese on the side. "So, what's Genevieve like, and why haven't you talked about her until today?" She wondered with a wide cheshire grin. Algaea children were often beautiful - like their mother who saw beauty in a kind but ugly man like Hephaestus.
  • Emilio: He decided to try it out, yet couldn’t decide in what to dip it. He liked trying new things and had heard this ssamjang was sweet. He loved sweet things. Then again, he also liked cheese. Or spicy things. He made up his mind, he decided to try them all. “That red sauce is sweet, right? I think I’ll try it” he said. He then proceeded to answer her question about Genevieve. If he had any doubts that she shipped them, they were all clear by now. “She’s amazing. She’s nice, outgoing, she loves to help everybody...”, he said. “And it’s clear she’s a child of Aglaea, she’s beautiful.” He answered her second question. “I guess it’s because I thought it was no use, that she wouldn’t even look at me the same way.” He loved Aglaea’s love story, he thought it was beautiful.
  • Haze: "It is." She affirmed the sweetness of the red sauce. It was a mix of sweet and salty. She watched Emilio take a bite. "If you have so many compliments about her, why didn't you court her?" Haze butted in. However, her question was answered in his next statement. "Hmmm... how do you know? HAve you tried?" Often times, Haze believed it was possible to change someone's attraction, especially after being long time friends.
  • Emilio: ”I’m sold!”, he said, regarding the red sauce. If it is a mixture of sweet and salty, he is going to enjoy it even more than he expected. He didn’t mind Haze butting in. He actually enjoyed talking to her about romance. She is one of the very few people he feels comfortable with talking about it. Another reason he didn’t try anything is probably his own self-doubt. “Actually no”, he explained. “I haven’t tried.” If Haze was right, then he may have a chance.
  • Haze: Haze was glad Emi liked the sauce. For her, it meant he also accepted her culture, which felt great. "Mhm. You should go for it, if she is really that nice. If things don't work out, you could always find someone else." She smiled. "Are you more conservative towards online dating?" At one point, she met her 'ex' Joo-Won, a son of Nemesis, online as well. The two, however, did not work out due to conflict of schedules. The former wanted to be a Korean idol, so it took tons of time.
  • Emilio: Emilio had always liked trying new things, and trying things relating to the culture of his sister only made it even better. “I think I really should”, he responded to the comment about trying to court Genevieve. He also appreciated his sister’s positive way of thinking. “Actually, I’m not too conservative about anything”, he smiled. He however hadn’t tried online dating, the only girls he has dated he mat them at school.
  • Haze: Haze found it sweet that Genny was being eyed by Emi. However, she didn't want him to get attached before anything happened. That's why she presented online dating. "Then you should give it a go," she suggested. Perhaps, Emi has heard about Haze's former lover. From time to time, she does miss him, but oh well. In about 4 posts overall, the two would finish their meal. Another feature Korean barbecue places had was their k-pop playlist.
  • Emilio: Emilio didn’t know why or how Haze supported his crush on Genevieve, but he appreciated the fact that she did. He also didn’t know why she mentioned online dating. Maybe she had a backup plan or something. “You’re totally right!”, he said about trying online dating for once. He hadn’t about Haze’s former online lover, but he was curious about the concept. As they were about to finish their meal, he thought on what they could do next.
  • Haze: It was just Haze's nature to like shipping her friends or loved ones. Perhaps, she thought of life in a more long-term manner. Often times, even friends would only see each other once a year or so. Thus, a life partner would be nice in the lonely nights. Moreover, extra hand for work was appreciated. Once the two were an hour in, Haze started to feel full. She chuckled bashfully as the waiter served a scoop of sesame ice cream for each of them. "I am so full..."
  • Emilio: Emilio and Haze had another thing in common. He was also a hardcore shipper. He too considered love a wonderful thing, and something to rely on when you are feeling lonely. He then saw the waiter and smiled as he looked ya gone ice cream. He hadn’t tried sesame ice cream before either. He looked at Haze as she commented she was full. “So, the ice cream’s a no-no?”, he chuckled. He was only teasing her.
  • Haze: "Can I have only one teaspoon, and you take the rest?" Her eyes glimmered with hope and plea, wishing Emilio would help her not waste food. In KBBQ restaurants, they often charged customers with leftovers as to not let them abuse the free-flowing meat, side dishes, and other food.
  • Emilio: He smiled at her. He knew she wouldn’t let any food go to waste, however he didn’t know about the method KBBQ restaurants used. If he knew, he would probably call it genius or some other praising word. “Of course you can”, he giggled at her ‘puppy-dog eyes’.
  • Haze: Haze was grateful that Emi understood her need to not waste food. She ate as said and passed the bowl to Emi. He now had 1 and 3/4 scoops to finish. "Thanks, bro. You're a life saver. I'm slightly grateful that this pandemic cancelled all the events, or I'd have to find a way to fit into my dresses." She laughed.

Emilio: He didn’t just understand Haze’s need to not waste food, he had the same need as well. They didn’t realize it, but they had pretty similar personalities. The 1 and 3/4 scoops weren’t hard core him, actually the ice cream was quite tasty. “You’re welcome sis, it’s no big deal.” He didn’t understand how the dresses comment was related to y jay but he chuckled. “What do you mean a way to fit into them?”
