Water mess. (open) [QR]

[Joshua Rogers]

"I hate this powers!"
The tall slim guy wearing only beach shorts kicked the sand and the water made a move in front of him. As if the water was reacting to his mood.

Usually the Ocean was one of the favorite places of all campers, specially the ones related to Poseidon or a minor god of the sea. But that morning, the Beach was kind of deserted, it seemed that a god or camper thought that it would be really funny to mess up with the powers of the people in that place, so one morning Apollo kids woke up shocking everyone, Ares kids chased by ghosts in the purest way of a ghost whisperer!

But in the case of the guy standing in front of the water, he was a Khione kid, he loved cold weather, snow fights, even a cool refreshing morning. But that morning, he woke up and knew something wasn't right. He walked to his bathroom in his apartment and saw the clock it was late so he thought about getting a quick shower, the water came from the fawcet and soaked him, also flooding his apartment.

And it was just the first of a several amount of stuff that happened to him since he woke up. He walked to the Mess Hall, ready to work, but there he noticed that whenever he tried to cool some drinks, he ended up splashing the drinks all over the place. So the Nymphs asked him to leave and let them do everything that day, the harpies almost pushed him off the place! so he went to the beach to ry to relax a bit, but it got worse.

Being so close to the sea made it easier for his new powers to get crazy. He had already soaked some Aphrodite girls and and some Athena guys that were trying to figure out their new powers. Josh, simply sat on the sand trying not to touch the water, just trying to calm down for a moment, but his impulsiveness made him get impatient and the water again soeaked someone...

"Oh! I'm so sorry!!" said Josh looking at the person he had just soaked in salty water.

[Fiona Starling]

Fiona was just wanting a comfortable day at the beach, away from everything, she was no longer gold but she wasn't super excited about any chances of that happening again. She had dressed up for the beach, but unlike most of the girls around the camp, she preferred to stay covered up at least until she was at the water. The idea of walking around in a pair of tiny shorts and basically a bra was not all that enticing.

Instead, she was wearing a simple dress over her red and white striped bikini; she was just expecting a relaxing day of swimming and laying out in the sand under the sun... Instead as she walks up on the beach, she gets splashed in the face with a ton of salt water...

"Son of a..." catching herself, "biscuit eating bulldog!" She had to spit and hack up the nasty salt taste, "Who the heck just..." She looked up and saw Joshua and raised an eyebrow...

A laugh came up and her face relaxed, "As long as you weren't trying to drown me, you're forgiven." She walked over and plopped down on the sand by him. "So going with you aren't doing awesome with your new powers either huh?" Fiona set her bag down next to her, then looked at the son of Khione, and all she could think was "Poor Guy".

Fiona's Outfit

[Joshua Rogers]

For Josh's bad luck, it wasn't other than Fiona, the girl that he had a crush on. He soaked her from head to toes and that wasn't what he would have liked it to be when he ran into her by the beach. He had imagined maybe sitting on the sand, or playing some volleyball. But soaking her definetely wasn't somehting he would have planned. then he heard all those words coming from her mouth and thought she was going to at least kick his sorry butt, but when she looked at his face, she just laughed which made him smile at her and shook his head slowly.

"No, not drawning at all, Thank you for not being so mad. I'm really sorry about the soaking... I would try to get the water off your clothes, but I better don't mess with it now." sighed and then looked at her while she sat by the place he was standing on. Then she asked about the powers and he just sighed and sat by her side. "Not at all..." he looked at the water. "in fact I'm not a complete hothead, if I was then I probably would have already flooded the Camp..." Then he looked at her and smiled. "and you who's powers you got?" she seemed to be completely calmed about her new ones.

She chuckled a bit and lightly nudged him with her shoulder, "No problem, I have a bikini on underneath so its not like they weren't going to get wet eventually." She chuckled, laying back and putting her arms under her head, "It is cool, we are all having our own issues with the whole powers thing, you'll get used to it but hopefully we won't have to for too long. Zephyr is on the job... so yeah, kinda hope it gets done eventually." She laughed a bit.

"Well thank you for having such a cool demeanor, even when you don't have to be so cold outside it," Fiona smiled wide, "I got some awesome winning stuff, the turning into gold was kinda neat, but got annoying quick."

She pushed herself up onto her feet and turned around, "So, since I am already soaked and you are so in touch with the water, how about a fun swim?" She laughed, pulling off her cover-up dress and laying it by her bag, then kicking off her sandals; Fiona held her hand out towards Josh, "Come along darlin', this is gonna be fun."

Josh smiled at her, he liked the fact that she was so cool all the time, she tolerated everyone or at least he didn’t know of anyone that she didn’t tolerate. She was kind and warm, but her warmth never burnt him, He felt good around her. He nodded at her when she said that it was ok about her clothes. Then he looked at her clothes, beach clothes, perfect for a day like that. He slightly blush, well as much as a Khione’s kid blush without being sick, a pale pink on his cheeks was all what was visible.

Then he frowned a bit, not an upset frown but a confussed one. How she knew that he was cold in the outside, but not in the inside? Then he smiled at her and shrugged. He would love to be more expressive, maybe as his brother Blaze, but he closed his emotions and hid them so well when he lost his family, that showing a bit of them was a great effort for him. “I’ll try to be warmer around you…” his smile was warm this time, warmer at least.

“I hope they find out soon how to reverse this.” He looked at his hands, but then at hers. “gold? You mean like Midas?” he asked because he thought that no one in present days would have such terrible power. Then She invited him to swim! How could she be so sure that his new powers weren’t going to shoot back and hurt them… her! He looked at her hand and then her sweet bright smile, he smirked and nodded. He held her hand and got up.

She got something that made him feel so comfortable about the situation! And it wasn’t the change of powers, because it had been like that since he met her in the infirmary! He walked with her into the water and felt it, it was cool, perfect for him and her. “ok, just… be careful ok? If I move in a sudden something bad could happen…” he was still worried of hurting her. The water seemed to welcome them but at the same time the fish seemed to not trust him, as if they knew something was wrong. “so.. want to swim? “ he pulled her hand a bit to get deeper.
