A Morning at the Lake[Literate]

OOC;; ObLaDi and I decided to try having a literate thread on the forum. Literate is a style of rp where the posts are generally much longer paragraphs, so if you post in this thread, please try and create longer posts with a minimum of at least 5 sentences.

It was the morning. Sitting at the edge of the lake, I could feel the sun hot against my skin, and I wondered what its reflection might look like against the water. With my feet dipped in the water, I could feel and hear the water lapping against my feet. This was a peaceful sort of place, I mean, I could just... feel and hear the world around me. I leaned forward, balancing my head on my hand. Did the lake of my mind look the same as the lake I was physically in right now? I was feeling relaxed (and maybe kind of deep), and I exhaled.
People in the camp generally didn't see this side of me. They normally just saw awkward spineless Terry...

I came, walking.. I needed some fresh air, getting a little away from all civilized people in camp. I was walking everywhere, having a song in mind. I was still walking, until I reach the lake. there, I jumped in the water, swimming until I reach the bottom. There, I found a sea star, and start to play with it. Then, I decided I had to go back to the surface. It wasn't really deep here, but when I want fresh air, it's not in the water I'm going to find it. I see a guy. I was all in the water, except my head, starting from my nose.

Rowan slipped out of her tree form to tak a walk along the beach. She was also feeling very peacful, morning was her favorite time of day, and walking along the beach when she was sure there would be no campers there was her favorite thing to do. Well, almost sure... Rowan saw a boy sitting at the edge of the lake with his feet in the water.

I sighed, running past the lake. I looked over, and smiled, jogging over to some kid I haven't seen before. "Hey new guy. Are you new? I'm assuming you're new 'cause I haven't seen you around much. I've seen you around though. Only in the past few months though, so I'm just going to assume you're new. Oh right, name's Trent, son of Hermes. I've been here two years." I said it like it was a medal but in a way it was, right?

I turned my head, as though I was looking around, hearing some newer sounds. A different sort of splashing was coming from the lake and I was sure I could hear some footsteps around me as well. I wondered if this meant there'd be an end to the tranquility....

A pair of feet came... jogging? in my direction, asking me if I was new. It was kind of overwhelming, whoever this was. "Well, I'm not ne-" I began, only to be cut off by the talkative feet. They introduced themselves as Trent, and finally quieted down, "Oh, I'm Terry, errr... and I've been here for 3 years actually and uhh, well, I haven't see you around much either, but you can't really blame me."

Normally, I'd welcome attention and I'd be happy to meet another camper, you know make some new friends... but this early in the morning, with a guy as.... let's say energetic, as this guy. It's just hard to handle, y'know?

I see more people on the shore. I swim toward them, and just jumped out of the water. " Hello" I simply said, sitting somewhere. I was Drying myself. Same I'm a daughter of Poseidon, I let the water wet me, because I hate the feeling whe you're in the water, but you're dry. I don't know why, but It's just... I just hate it. I was not tired, feeling rest because of the water. The air was fresh, and it was nice outside. I like it here..

"Hi!" I started. "Who're you? I'm Trent, son of Hermes. Heh, I was just jogging." I looked back at Terry. "Anyway, I was just jogging, y'know," I practically repeated. "Getting some exercise. D'you like exercise? I do. Hah, you probably know that. Yep, I love exercise." I bit at my lip. "What're you doing, Terry?"

"Oh... umm hi," I tried to explain, "I... well, I don't really do much excercise, or else there's a large chance that I'll hu-" Trent cut in again, asking me what I was doing, "I'm just sitting by the lake... enjoying the quiet. Or well, I kind of was..." I trail off.
I hear the splash as something comes out of the lake. A distinctly feminine voice beside Trent and I greets us. It sounds calm, thankfully not quite like Trent. "Hi there," I respond back to the girl, I'm Terry, this is Trent."

" Hello guy. I'm Yume. Nice to meet you all." I said, still really calm. I was wondering how this guy named trent could be so excited around the lake who was so peaceful. I guess he was like he always is. Anyway. I was almost all dried. " So, what are you doing here?" I asked, randomely. When I don't know what to asked, I always say that.

"Nice to meet you to!" I said. "I was just taking a jog. I've been halfway around camp. I'm just passing by," I said. "How long have you been in camp? I've been here for two years. And Terry here has been here for three. I like it here. It's nice you know, lots of places to do things. Heh, you know? I like the lake, it's fun to swim in...." I sighed. There's nothing to talk about? Heh, I'll find something.

"Nice to meet you too Yume," I smile slightly, "Err... I was just relaxing, and then Trent came along, hahaha..." I look in Trent's direction a bit uncomfortably. I mean, he was a nice guy and all, but at this moment, this early in the morning, I'd rather just be with quiet people. Or maybe alone? Still, Yume seemed like she'd be alright to hang out with right now, she seemed pretty relaxed too, and wasn't constantly talking.

" to answer your question trent, it's been 3 years since I first came here. But I know I'm an half-blood since I'm 5." I said, smiling. I wonder how trent could talk this much! He was constently talking. almost scary! I look at them. It wasn't boring. Just...calm, with one guy who was disturbing that calm. I was happy my though were all mine!" hum, I have to go see something. see you around boy!"
