((OPEN)) Drowning my sorrows in nature

This camp was finding ways to make the forever bubbly Jasmine sad. For one, it did not help that the Ares cabin was next to hers, and her sunshine attitude conflicted with their punk-teenage-rebellion attitude. Much like a brawny teen girl she tried to give a pink daisy conflicted with her. A solid punch to the stomach left her still a little sore. Also, the lily she had planted by the lake had been picked. It made her sad, seeing the beauty she was trying to bring into the world be ended so abruptly. All was well, however, as the lily was probably given to someone who needed a pick me up. Much like Jasmine needed at the moment.

Jasmine snapped her head around to face her equally as bubbly half-sister Jana. "Oh, hello!' She said, trying her best to sound as cheerful as ever. "Me? Oh, I'm fine. I just noticed that this tree here had lost a leaf and it made me think about what season it really is, and how it's been so long since I lived in New York and could get a taste of all the four seasons." Jasmine spoke quickly in an effort to cover her tone. Though, it didn't exactly help that she had spoken of New York as that was one of the things keeping her down and now she was even sadder. Just keep it together until she leaves she reassured herself. She grinned in her goofball way and changed the subject before Jana asked any more questions. "How are the strawberries today? I hope they aren't getting too much sun." Jasmine smilled politely at the girl.

Jasmine smiled, even though talking about new York was sometimes painful. "It was nice! Me and my friends would hang out every Friday night and just go around the city, getting coffee and junk food and talking. The lights were the best thing. It told you that at least one other person is awake too, no matter how much they want to sleep. It was nice in my house, it had a huge view of the city in my art studio, and that's what I painted the most. Did James like it there?" She rambled on for a while, laughing a little bit when she remembered the time she, Lindsey, Katie, and Liam had gone out and taken selfies with homeless people and gave them groceries and told them that they were beautiful.

"Oh, you know, who doesn't enjoy a nice tree climb every once in a while?" She said, laughing a little. Jasmine LOVED trees, as her friends knew. She could always be found high up in a tall oak tree with a book or, more likely, her sketch pad and charcoal pencils. He favorite time of day was when it was darke nough that the stars were staring to come out bt light enough so that the tree branches could still be seen, not swimming into the blackness of the sky.

"Oh, hello there! Raven, isn't it? I'm Jasmine, this is Jana." Jasmine forced a goofy smile and laughed. "Nice to see that I'm not the only one who has tortured their hair with dye," she said as she threw her pastel curly mob of hair up into a quick, messy side braid. Being the person she was, she then turned it into a braided bun. While doing her hair, she asked "So, what brings you here on this sunny day?"
