    It was 1 pm and I hurried into the infirmary, wiping my hands dry on my pants. I was wearing a black tank top with denims and sneakers, quickly attaching my hair into a ponytail.

    "Hey Will. Anything urgent?" I asked the son of Apollo as soon as I spotted him.

    "Not right now, though if you could help Daniel clean up bed nine over there, that'd be great," he said, bandaging the leg of a Hypnos kid.

    The bed was a mess, full of blood, and it took Dan and me half an hour to get it properly cleaned up and fresh for the next patient. (I didn't really wanna know what happened there, apparently there had been some serious surgery going on.) Once done, I helped Chris and Hannah stack the shelves with new jars of medicine, each carefully labelled and arranged by wound type. I was called only once to heal the hand of a small girl who had gotten unlucky at the climbing wall -- that lava was bound to do some damage sooner or later -- so I sat down next to her, trying to soothe her by giving her a fresh drink and telling her some jokes while pouring nectar on her scorched fingers. It took me a bit, but several minutes later she was sauntering out the door with a nice little bandage around her hand and I smiled, turning around to look at my next patient.

    "Oh, hey." He was Native American, with long flowing hair and an androgynous face, very delicate features and a calm expression. Just looking into his eyes made me feel much more tranquil, it was really weird. "What can I do for you?" I asked him, letting droplets of water run along my hands to clean them -- they evaporated as soon as I snapped my fingers.

    OOC: This thread takes place before he met Horace. <3

    Chowilawu sat on the patient bed with his hair out. He wore a simple tight turquoise shirt sleeve shirt and light blue jeans. He felt a little better after he decided to swim all the way from California to New York. He wouldn't be doing that anytime soon. While he was staring off into the white sheets, he heard someone come over and speak. He quickly snapped out of it and glanced at the teenage girl.

    "I swam a long way to get here..." The son of Neptune watched as this girl controlled water. He cocked his head to the side slightly and gently grabbed her hand. "You have power over water?" He asked her, staring into her eyes with curiosity in his own.

    "You swam here?" I frowned, then had an instinctive recoil movement as he grabbed my hand. I liked physical contact but when it happened suddenly and with a stranger, pulling back was a reflex. "Uh, I'm sorry," I said after a moment and extended my hand again. Living for months in a camp where having powers was the norm, I forgot sometimes how strange and weird it was for new people. "Yes I have some powers over water, nothing major though," I explained. "But what happened to you, what made you come to the infirmary?"

    Chowilawu quickly looked up at her when she jerked her hand back. "No need to apologize." The son of Neptune continued to stare into her eyes, trying to search. "What else can you do?" He asked, leaning foreword, his hair falling over his shoulders and brushing against his shirt. "I swam here from the other coast. I felt like I needed to come here." He whispered. "And I was tired."

    My frown deepened. "You what? Are you related to an ocean deity? Alright, lay down, you have to rest," I said, guiding him to a free bed. When he had laid down, I went to get him some food and nectar -- you never knew. The constant immersion in water would've sustained his energy levels but his body needed nutrients now he was back on land, or he might pass out any second. I came back a minute later with a warm tortilla wrap filled with salad, goat cheese and salmon as well as a bottle of godly drink, setting both down on his night table.

    I would like to say that someone swimming from the California to Long Island was the strangest thing I had heard in my life -- but that would be a lie.

    "Now lay still," I gently said, taking a seat next to him. "What's your name?"

    Chowilawu looked at confused when he was led to a free bed. What was the problem? He was just feeling tired. At least that's what he thought. "Aye, I did. Was that something I should not of done?" Nevertheless he allowed himself to be led away by the teenage girl. He laid down on the bed, looking around the infirmary. It was rather cozy with a couple of demigods taking care of others who had burns while a few had blisters and broken bones.

    When the girl came back, she had something wrapped in bread with some form of liquid that she sat on the table beside the patient bed. He didn't move like the girl instructed. "My name is Chowilawu Mohawk of the Choctaw Tribe." He gave her a single nod before continuing. "Who are you? Some type of shaman?

    I shook my head. "It's not that you shouldn't have done it. It's just that if you're related to a god of the ocean, being in the water gives you a natural boost, it gives you more energy, makes you stronger and healthier. While you're in the water, there's no problem. But when you get out of it after having relied on the water's power for such a long time, you need food as soon as possible otherwise you can collapse."

    I reached the plate over. "Eat." I then chuckled a bit. "It's not poisoned, I promise."

    When he introduced himself, I tried to spell his name in my head and repeated it until I got the pronunciation right. "A shaman?" I asked, then shook my head with a little chuckle. "I'm a daughter of the witch goddess, Hecate. Name's Morgan," I added, extending my hand for him to shake.

    Something about him felt off to me. I don't know why I had that feeling but it was there -- the way, the talked, the way he moved, his behavior in general... it seemed from another place, almost from another dimension. I couldn't quite put my finger on it but the more I thought about it the more I was sure that Chow, somehow, was out of place here. "Where do you come from?" I finally dared to ask.

    He nodded his head, now understanding why she was concerned for his overall health. Chowilawu looked over at the plate and took it from the girl. The Roman unwrapped the strange food from the plastic and took a bite out of it. "I taste salmon." He stated before he devoured the wrap.

    "The witch goddess? So does that make you a witch too?" He asked with, taking the water off of the nightstand, gulping it down. "I am from the Choctaw Tribe south from here. Where are you from?" Chowilawu asked her, leaning in more to study her face.

    "Yeah, you could say I'm a witch," I smiled, tilting my head to the side a little.

    He explained where he came from, but it didn't really answer my question. This dude might come from a rez, that weird feeling stayed the same. Alright, I wasn't the type to pry but my curiosity sometimes had a bad habit of getting the better of me so I tried to find ways of formulating the question as discretely as possible in my head.

    "Me? It's pretty complicated -- let's say I'm from Europe," I told him, leaning in a bit. His eyes were really soothing, it felt like watching a distant landscape. There was something about him, an intensity, that I hadn't quite seen in a lot of people. I wasn't talking about the way he looked -- I mean, he was fcking handsome, no point denying that, but his looks weren't what captivated me. "Hey listen... You don't have to answer if you don't wanna, I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable. I'm just wondering. Is there any place you were at before that might be... different, in some way? Do you come from somewhere special? And I don't necessarily mean where you grew up." Please tell me I didn't just screw this up, I silently prayed.

    Chowilwau thought for a moment, trying to figure out what she was trying to get out. "I, uh...I came from Camp Jupiter where the Roman demigods and legacies go.." He answered, then leaned a bit closer, touching her hand gently. "Is that what you mean?" The son of Neptune asked, still staring in Morgan's eyes as if he was trying to take a peep inside her soul.

    His gaze was making me somehow focus and I looked right back into his dark eyes. His hand on mine was warm.

    "Were you anywhere between Camp Jupiter and your home? Anyplace... strange?"

    In the last months, my sixth sense had developed and I had gotten better at detecting traces of anything unusual on other people -- though it didn't always work. (What? I'm still a Witch In Progress.)

    "I'm sorry, I probably shouldn't be prying. I just like to understand," I explained to him.

    Chowilawu thought for a moment before finally understanding what she meant. "Are you referring to the Casino Pub? Is that what you're talking about?" The Roman son of Neptune asked, still a bit confused.

    OOC: I think you mean Lotus Pub :P

    BIC: Lotus Pub. Lotus Casino. Lotus Eaters. Eurêka!
    So that was what he smelled like. Chow wasn't only from a different place, he was from a different epoch. A whole different freaking epoch. Looking at this guy and realizing he should be dust and bones by now messed with my brain.

    Actually, the whole mythological aspect of the world was still messing with my brain, so it was part of a whole.

    But still... His mind and body had stayed at seventeen during hundreds of years... It was both freaky and awesome.
    Definitely awesome.

    "Wow...," was all I could say for a few moments. "I'm sorry, I still kind of have to wrap my head around concepts such as that one. You're like... a teen. You've been a teen for centuries. Zeus almighty. Woah."

    He had finished his wrap and I put the plate aside. A girl went to tap me on the shoulder and I nodded, turning back to Chow, "My shift is over. You're good to go as well." Standing up, I went to wash my hands and walked over to Chow as I headed out. "So... what year are you from?" God I sound like a sci-fi movie.

    The Roman son of Neptune tried to think about what year it was when he escaped into the Lotus Pub. "I was born in the year 1783 so...1800?" He raised an eyebrow at Morgan, hoping that his math was right. Chowilawu's hand went up her arm until it rested on her shoulder. "Am I right, white witch?" He asked Morgan.

    The fact he called me like the villain in Narnia made me gently chuckle, then he set his hand on my shoulder. Generally when cute boys or girls talk to me I tend to eat some of my words and talk even quicker than I normally do, but with Chow, my focus sharpened instead of scattering. I could make out tiny blades of grass right over there and smell the salt in the air coming from the sea. It felt intense.

    Looking at him, I wondered again. If he had been spat out of the Lotus Casino just now, he had missed a major chunk of History. Napoleon, the Civil War, the World Wars, the Cold War, abolition of apartheid, Washington, Marx, Lenin, Hitler, Stalin, Einstein, Hawking, Tesla, Edison, all these persons and events that had shaped our current civilisation and our way of thinking... Was his mind still stuck in the 19th century's way of thought? Historians would kill for five minutes of interview with him.

    Since he was looking at me, I quickly did the maths. 1800 minus 1783 was 17, which was the age he seemed to have. "The numbers ad up," I told him, then playfully added, "Ocean Wizard." Since you know, he had called me White Witch. "So, I guess I should give you the Welcome to Camp Half-Blood talk, though you probably already got something similar in Camp Jupiter. I'll just skip to the main stuff. Here we don't have cohort barracks but cabins, and each cabin is meant for the children of a specific god. Who's your god parent? You said he or she was an ocean deity."

    Chowilawu nodded his head as Morgan talked about the differences between the two camps. "My father is Neptune." He answered her, shifting some on the bed. "
