The arrival of Listen Taylor. [Open]

Listen walked slowly up the hill, looking over her shoulder every few steps. There was duct tape wrapped around a gash on her left arm. She was carrying a small orange back-pack and kept reaching back to touch it, as if reassuring herself it was still there.
She looked out at the camp with a sense of relief. Finally, a place where "Helen the Herpetologist" the dracaena who had followed her from Canada to here, couldn't find her.
Listen brushed her hair out of her eyes and sat down, pulling some chips out of her bag and absent-mindedly ate a couple. What next? She thought.

Kainoa Salias sat on the side of Half Blood Hill facing camp, his wet black hair dripping salty ocean water and flecks of sand over the thin layer of gauze wrapped firmly around his head and into light green eyes. The Hawaiian teen's surfboard lay beside him with his flipflops, letting his bare feet feel the softened green grass below them; slick with the seawater from his swimming trunks.

He had, obviously, just come back from the beach. Though, judging by the bandages, he probably shouldn't even have been at the beach in the first place, let alone surfing.

The sound of crunching leaves and semi-heavy footfalls caught his attention, and the cynical teen's head whipped around so fast that it would have given anyone else whiplash.

It was only when he decided that the little girl with the makeshift bandages on her arm was most likely just a new camper that he relaxed. "So," he started, turning back around and leaning on his arms, "you're a newcomer, then?"

((Welcome to CHB, comrade~ ^^))

Listen jumped when she heard the boy speak; the only person who had talked to her for a while had been the monster she had been running from and a bus driver or two. Even so, she ignored his question. "This is Camp Half-Blood, right?" She asked, stuffing her snack into the bag and standing. "I'm a little lost."

Listen snorted with laughter. "Sarcasm is NOT funny." She said to his back, as she crossed her arms across her chest. "I guess the quest would explain...that." She gestured to his gauze. Listen had almost said something about a mummy, but she didn't want to make an enemy on her first day. "And if you're done insulting the newbie, can you get me some help or show me around or something? I mean, if you're done eating blue strawberries and riding unicorns."

"I speak sarcasm too, y'know," Listen said, a bit testily. Conversations like this normally ended in a fist fight. Listen normally won, but the boy was armed with a surfboard, and the odds were not in her favour. "And if the camp could show me around, I would be doing that now. Guess I've got no choice." She sighed dramatically, smiled and followed.
(OOC: Do you want to start a new thread?)

Rolling his eyes, Kain walked liesurely down the hill and stood at the base, looking out over the strawberry fields expanding in front of him. The nearly overwhelming scent of the berries assaulted his senses, causing the olive-eyed teen to wrinkle his nose slightly.

He spun around, executing a perfect military 'About-Face', and stared into the newbie's eyes - a few inches below his own. "Alright, let's start. Welcome to Camp Halfblood." He grinned wildly and, turning back around, parted the strawberry bushes with his board to reveal a path.

Finally, he glanced back at her and bowed deeply. "After you, Milady."

((Sure. Who should start it? You or I?))

Eyebrows raised and smirking, Listen walked through the path in the field. The strawberries smelled really good, so she ate a couple on the way by. She had been eating cheap junk food out of Seven-Elevens, so the berries were better than they would normally be.

She decided to refer to her guide as Boy, at least in her head. Listen was stubbornly refusing to ask Boy his name, even if that was childish. It seemed a bit like a power struggle, really, and she was wary of giving Boy more material for his sarcastic, (funny!) comments.

((Will you? You are showing me around.))

((My pleasure. Why don't we start... in the Big House? The link to the RP is here~))
