Who: Sasha, anyone.
When: Day she arrives, mid-afternoon
Where: The edge of camp.
What: Staring down the outside world.
Warnings: Sasha will be a bit mouthy.
Sasha's first move after her tour of the camp, and the explanation of the situation? She was at the border, staring out into the rather unimpressive expanse of NOTHING. She was expecting a large fence and wolves or something big and melodramatic. Nope, just... grass, and a tree. Naturally she wanted to just defiantly stride out into this nothing but something told her there was more than a little danger at the edge of camp.
So she stood there, staring out, trying to determine if this was a better way to spend her day than talking about sex with Michelle. She honestly thinks the 'monsters' that may or may not be outside would be less bloody an affair than talking about sex with a former Vegas Showgirl. This wasn't fair, she was already far from her parents, now one of them claims custody without telling her who they are!? What sort of stupid system is that. If she's going to be here she'd at least like to know who her parent is.
"The only good news is that if 'the buzz' is true I can at least get something good in New York City. They wouldn't make a show about it if it didn't at least have nice clothes," Sasha mumbled, maybe she could go nap at a broadway show during the outing. That'd be a fun story to share back in Paradise. But for now... she'll stare down the border, until it blinks, because she won't.

This was the first time he'd come across company. As he approached he overheard a bit of what she said. Enough that he could piece it all together.
"Man, I hope so. If I have to wear this stupid camp shirt the entire I'm here I just might go marching out of this camp, monsters or not."
no subject
"What monsters, anyway? They can't all be capable of hiding. And if they are, they probably aren't very smart about it. I'm sure if I shout out there at them they'll fail the first rule of not being seen." Sasha was one to trust her eyes more than anything else. And her eyes said the other side was empty. "And who decided the best shirt color was orange? Nobody wears it, and if they do they are either very daring or very stupid."
no subject
"You should give it a try and see what happens. If they're to be believed, we should be safe from whatever is out there as long as we stay inside the camp borders." He brings his hand halfway up to his mouth before remembering he didn't have a cigarette in his hand. With a sigh he stuffs his hand back into his pocket.
"Beats the hell out of me. I'd like five minutes in a room with them, that's for sure."
no subject
She went through all the motions of waiting at the edge, turned back to Worick, and sashayed away from the edge of camp. Owning she just shouted at an empty field. "It's possible a God had a hand in this stupid shirt, still want five minutes with them?" It was worth asking, he did seem tough, but was that measured with any level of sense. Not that she showed much with her last bit of antics.
no subject
Following a few feet behind her as she walked away, he barely gave her question any consideration before answering. "Why not? Who says gods couldn't use some constructive criticism just like the rest of us?"
no subject
"So... anything important to know about this place that was left off the tour? Where the booze is hidden? Places campers sneak off for some alone time? Any actual good things about this place?" Sasha needed to play a little nice if she was going to get home. What she'd need with her to cross that border and make her way back to California. "I'm Sasha, by the way."
no subject
"Let's see...if there's booze hidden anywhere I have yet to find it, so odds are there isn't any. I wouldn't know about that next thing since I'm not exactly looking for a spot to ravish any underage teens, which this place is full of. However, the food isn't half bad and if you manage to be claimed by any god except for Hermes, you have a pretty decent place to sleep." Those things may not sound like much, but take it from someone who has lived on the streets before. "I'm Worick."
no subject
This was by far the stupidest summer camp ever, she managed to find booze while she was at the Joffrey. Granted, ballerinas are a cutthroat lot, nobody really believes that. Sasha didn't drink anything there she didn't keep in her sights at all time. "I figured you'd know them to avoid them, not wanting to perv on any teen ravishing going on," he didn't seem the type to need to perv on anyone anyway. Thugs rarely were. "Food is good, I'm still stuck in the house of unwanted children so no luck on sleeping places. I take it there aren't any towns close enough to bother trying to get there and then out into the real world?"
no subject
He ignores the first two comments but responds to the last. At least that's something he has a response for. "Actually we're just a couple miles away from New York City. In fact the whole camp is going to be having a little field trip over there soon. Might be a good idea to get acquainted with some more people. They use the buddy system here."
no subject
"A few miles isn't that close, but it'll do for a start. Especially if we don't have to worry about walking that distance," she was more thinking a Hogsmeade village arrangement. Somewhere to lose the Gods, the monsters, and everyone else. "Buddy system? What are we twelve?"
no subject
"I'm pretty sure we do. Have to walk there I mean. The buddy system is both a way to keep people together and to make sure everyone has back-up once we leave the camp. You know...because of the monsters."
no subject
"Great, camp run by Gods and they haven't figured out vans," Sasha grumbled. At least the reasoning for the buddy system wasn't totally idiotic, but at the same time, "So I have to find someone competent in a fight, and knows how to put together sentences in... how long do we have? I guess I should work on beating up monsters too. This place certainly doesn't give a girl a chance to catch her breath..."
no subject
"Oh, and about the monsters. Apparently you can't kill them unless you have special weapons made out of a certain...monster killing material. No idea what that is yet. But I'm looking into it."
no subject
"Probably some special blessed material, or the body parts of other monsters," All the stories required monsters to either be killed by a unique weakness material like wood for vampires, silver for werewolves. Or you could use some aspect of another monster as a weapon. It was just kind of logical, monsters would be just as deadly to other monsters, right? "So without the right kind of weapon, no amount of prep would actually help me win? Keeps getting better."
no subject
Worick isn't very familiar with monster myths. He knows the basics but in his world there is a much more prevalent and dangerous form of 'monster'. A human kind of monster. Against them no one has much times to concern themselves with vampires and werewolves. "I have a few ideas on how to get the information. I just haven't made it that far, yet. But from what I've been told, go in armed. At least you injure or distract it enough to give you an opening to run away."
no subject
"So this place can't just come with an instruction manual, great." There was a bite to her words. Her annoyance that none of this was simple was more than justified. Now she had to learn a weapon in a week, at least enough to not hurt herself with it, and hope that it can actually help her with a monster. "You wouldn't happen to have a book on Swordplay for Dummies do you? Cover all the steps after 'stick 'em with the pointy end'?"
no subject
"That's what I said when I got here." He had phrased it differently but it was generally the same concept. "Maybe we should start writing one." His tone is light and joking. While not a bad idea, he wasn't sure he would want to commit to that kind of project. Besides, why should they make it easier for people coming in after them?
no subject
"Hah, they can suffer like we had to," at least until the questions got annoying. For now she was very much for the 'we had to do it, so can they' school of learning. She'd consider it for her friends, but the only ones that were likely born of parents that they didn't know of were Melanie and Michelle. And that's just because Michelle could have been the Lindbergh baby for all Sasha knew... barring that age thing. "So what's there to do for fun here, other than learn to stab things?"
no subject
Ah, now that was a question he wasn't sure how to answer. What he spent most of his time doing was keep an ear out over the network, wander the camp, and read whatever looks interesting in the library inside Athena's cabin. "I think I saw some people doing crafts yesterday..."
no subject
And now she'll just stare at him like he grew another head. Crafts was the best he had to offer, was the best this place had to offer? A camp of demi-gods, who should have some level of save the world power and they were doing crafts? "...We have got to find a way to get some booze in here."
no subject
He grins innocently and shrugs. "Wait until we go on that field trip. We'll probably be able to find plenty of booze in the city."
no subject
"Not too long a wait, that's good I guess. Don't really have a fake ID though..." not that she was opposed to stealing, she was just opposed to more trouble than she needed. "You can buy."
no subject
He seemed to consider this idea for a long moment. "I could..." His lips twitched into a smile. "But I don't have an ID either. Left them in my other pants." Pants that happened to be back at home. Not that he really needed an ID in a city where his face was recognized by locals.
no subject
"Please, anyone carding you has to be blind or hitting on you," Even if she couldn't put an exact age on him, it was over 21. Heck, he acted old when she talked about things. "And there have to be plenty of people in New York who don't care, right?"
no subject
"You really shouldn't insult the guy you're asking a favor from, you know?" Luckily, Worick isn't the type to hold grudges. At least...not over something as little as this.
no subject
"And right now, it's really useful, since your ID is in your other pants."
no subject
"Alright, alright, I'll see what I can do. Do you got a preferred brand of beer that you would like, princess?"
