Aurora's Bunk

((It's 6 AM)) EVERYBODY WAKE UP! TIME FOR BREAKFAST!

I walk into my cabin, and look around, slip some tampons into my pocket, and leave quietly.

When she yelled done, I braced myself. "So the dye is 'spossed to sit for like 10 minutes. So we wait, I'll rinse it out, and we'll see what it looks like." I regret the words as soon as they come out of my mouth. I clamp my hand over my mouth. "O my gods I didn't mean to be insensitive!"

OOC: You can pick the colors. of my hair I mean

Ooc uhhh nah you can. Not feeling creative right now.

Bic: I rolled my eyes. "Dude. Its not a big deal. Most people don't even notice I'm blind until I tell them. And saying 'we'll see what it looks like.' Doesn't bother me. Its a figure of speech." I said.

I breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, ok." We sat there for a minute, and I couldn't take it any longer. "I'm done waiting! Let's do this." I run into the bathroom, rinse and blow-dry my hair, all with my eyes closed so I didn't see it. I walk out of the bathroom, open my eyes, walk into my bunk, and close my eyes again. "Ready for the reveal?" I stand in front of what I think is the mirror, and open my eyes. My hair was an amazing blend of blues, purples and greens. The tips were orange and yellow. "OH MY GODS." My hair was amazing. Blind girls can work magic. I gazed at myself in the mirror for a bit, and then remembered. "CRAP. I need to pack my things to go to Olympus!" I look at her, and shoo her out of my cabin.

OOC: to give you an idea:

Spoiler:

I pack a bag, and leave the cabin, bouncing with excitement.

Santa Hermes accidentally appeared on the roof of the Other Gods cabin.

Not that he had tried to, of course, that would have been silly -- though very in character, he mused -- to do. He was a thief god, but this time he was laden with a heavy bag full of gifts that needed delivering, not only a knife and his famous winged shoes.

And of course, you're not careful enough. Martha was awake now, hissing by his ear from the caduceus tied to his back.

At least he tried this time, George muttered sleepily, laying his head on Hermes's right shoulder.

"Enough from the both of you; I don't want to break my leg." Slowly, Hermes slid down one side of the cabin roof and then slowly lowered himself down to the ground, landing next to a bush by the side of the cabin. And what a relief -- at least it wasn't a rosebush like the ones by the Demeter cabin. Those hurt.

Making his way to the front of the cabin, Hermes pulled out the next present, for an Aurora Bills, daughter of Mousika -- a ukelele. If the Hawaiian gods existed somewhere, they would have been very proud. Entering the dim and obviously occupied cabin, Hermes glanced around until his spidey/deliverer senses started tingling -- Aurora's cabin was... right there. Yeah.

He laid the instrument down on the girl's bunk and disappeared.

[Child's name: Aurora Bills
God parent: Mousika
Type of Gift and powers of this gift: A Ukelele but its strings never break, and is always is tuned to a perfect G,E,C,A. If she wants to change the tuning, she tunes it, and then presses a button to revert back to G,E,C,A.]

I walked into my cabin, happy and sad at the same time. I saw a package on my bunk. I picked up, where there was a note. I read it, smiled and unwrapped it. I was a ukelele with a small button on its back. I play its strings, expecting it to be out of tune but it was perfect. I looked up. "Thanks Mom." I picked up my ukelele, and pondered where to go. It was a cold, rainy day, so no one would be at the Sword Arena. I smoothed my rainbow hair down and left.

I walked into my bunk and smiled at my recent experience. I packed a small backpack with a wallet and my crossbow and walked outside, waiting for Astrid.

I heard a knock on the door. I was the only one in the cabin, so naturally I opened it. Astrid was standing there in a gorgeous dress. I was dressed simply in my jeans and t-shirt, so naturally I felt under dressed. I invited Astrid in, then ran back to my bunk to change. I picked out a dark purple dress that I wore to Winter Formal my freshman year. It was in a mermaid style; short in the front, long in the back. The flowing sleeves were black and long. I walked out of my bunk. "You look beautiful. What about me?" I smiled awkwardly and waited for her reply. It was obvious we were going on a date at this point.

I shrugged. Astrid didn't finish her sentence, but I didn't push her. She wasn't to be asked twice. I shook my head. "No, no, its fine. I just felt under dressed in jeans. We can go whenever. I picked up my bunk a bit and looked around. My ukelele was on the floor, so I picked it up and set on my shelf. I sat on the bed next to Astrid.

I felt something touch my hand. I looked down, and noticed Astrid grabbing my hand, ever so gently. I accept her offer and held her hand. I smiled awkwardly. Neither of us seemed to be in a hurry, and I was fine with that. I kicked off my shoes and laid my head in Astrid's lap. It was sort of warm and comforting. It made me miss my dad even more. I used to lay my head in his lap like this all the time. I held myself back from crying. I took in a sharp breath, then let it out slowly. I instantly felt more relaxed. I looked up at Astrid. I didn't want to say anything because it could ruin that beautiful, peaceful moment we were having.

I felt Astrid's hands start playing with my hair. I let her touch my hair as she spoke. I smiled sweetly. "What do you mean?" I wanted to hear her talk. Astrid's voice was actually quite soothing. I thought about my past love life. I've actually never dated anyone officially, but I did fall in love quite often. I realized I was still wearing a dress. I was okay with being the "girly" one in the relationship. Astrid was obviously more "masculine" than myself. I had rainbow hair and pink clothes, she wore black and had piercings. We were exact opposites, and you know what they say, opposites attract!

I nodded. I understood. Well, at least sort of. After my dad died, my Aunt didn't care what I did. The social workers may have just left me out in the street. She didn't feed me, she didn't buy me clothes, she didn't even take me to school. I was on my own, but I always had the social workers. I looked ok, but I was alone. Being with Astrid made me feel like I had someone to be with. It sounded like a sappy soap opera that Myra watched all the time, but it was true. I related all of this to Astrid. I smiled awkwardly and put my hand on her leg reassuringly. I absentmindedly glanced up at the clock, then did a double take. It was 10PM? "Oh gods. We'd better get to bed." I shooed Astrid out of my bunk, then promptly went to bed.

It was time to go to prom. I was so excited. I had chosen to go as Belle from Beauty and the Beast. I had two options. A yellow dress, like hers from the dance scene, or a blue and white one, a prom dressy one similar to the one in the beginning of the movie.

BIC: I ended up choosing the blue and white one, as it went with my hair better. I pulled my hair back to the back of my head and put it back with a white bow. I walked to the mess hall, which was where prom was being held. I was excited to see what Astrid was going to wear.
