Lydia looked down at the board as she pressed her lips together. Did she really have any luck when they started the game? She had started off pretty well, but then she came close to bankruptcy twice and now Genie was adding a third hotel. And she was now in a sticky situation. She was close to Genie’s properties and unless she rolled extremely high, she was going to land on properties and owe rent. And, of course, Lydia was closer to her third bankruptcy than she was with her other two. Either way, her luck was not looking good.
Finally, she clicked her tongue as she looked up at Genie and smirked a bit. “I think my luck had run out and you've finally managed to bankrupt me.” She chucked as she shook her head. “I never really took you as a strategist, but at least that's better than being power hungry. I guess I got ahead with myself.”

“Guilty,” Lydia said while she smiled a bit sheepishly, but it slowly turned a bit mischievous instead. “But it's a good social experiment to see how people behave. Like the quiet person could turn so aggressive when given the power and money.” She shrugged her shoulders. “I doubt you'll be someone power-hungry, but it'll be fun to see regardless.
But going back to her cabin to play boardgames sounded like a perfect way to end their evening. Besides, Lydia had a real date with this girl soon and she might as well got to know her as well as she possibly could. “I could probably do an entire analysis on you if I get carried away,” she said with a giggle as she reached out to give Genie her hand. “You want to go then?”

A reformed strawberry thief? That wasn't what Lydia was aiming for, but she figured that would at least make the other day not so bad. Not like she got into trouble not catching the strawberry thief in the first place, but her siblings did give her a hard time over it. She giggled a bit as she shook her head. "I don't think I'm that persuasive," she said as she looked at Genie. "But I guess I'll take making you a reformed strawberry thief."
She was about to head over to the ipod though to change the song when she paused for a moment and turned back to look at Genie with a raised eyebrow. "Did you have anything in mind?" she asked as she tilted her head to the side. "Because there's a couple of board games back in my cabin that I can grab and you can tell a lot about a person with the way they play Monopoly."

"Really," Lydia giggled as she nodded her head again. "I do like you Genie, even if you're a strawberry thief." Out of all the things that Lydia was expecting out of tonight, she wasn't expecting a date. But she was definitely not complaining at all. If anything, she would call this a pretty successful night. She got wrapped up into Genie's arms and Lydia giggled some more as she squeezed the girl back. Genie was more than happy about all of this and that made Lydia happy as well.
Once they pulled away from the hug, Lydia's smile matched Genie's but it wasn't as bright as hers was right then. "A lot of good things happen in the forges," Lydia corrected before she winked at her. She giggled for a bit before she head towards the ipod. "Do you want to keep our dance party going?"

Lydia was quickly making a mental list of all the weird places she could have a dance party with Genie and the forge was at the bottom of the list. Besides, it was one of the few places where she could get alone time with her cute dance partner so they could dance. But next time she'd get to pick the location? There were a few places better around camp, but they had to go when there were few people there, which probably meant late at night or early in the morning, but that would've been worth it to Lydia.
But she noticed something was off with Genie. She stopped swaying to the music as she looked at her and raised her eyebrows in concern. But what came next from Genie wasn't concerning at all. She smiled a bit as a slight giggle escaped her lips. "You're asking me out?" she said before she nodded her head and giggled some more. "I like you back and I would love to go out with you." She shook her head as her smile grew a little bit wider. "You didn't mess it up. I think it's perfect."

Lydia raised her eyebrows as Genie asked if there was somebody else she wanted to dance with. She laughed as she shook her head. "Nah, there's really nobody in particular," she said as she decided it was better to not admit that she wanted Genie as her dance partner. She was fun to be around with and she had lots of fun dancing just a song ago. "So I think I'd be alright with you being my dance partner. At least I'd get a cute one." She winked at her, which was a bit of a bold move, but she figured why not take a little bit of a risk.
Once Genie mentioned that this was a strange place for a dance party, Lydia looked around. Sure, they were in a forge and it was hot in more ways than one, and there were tools and gadgets laying about, but nothing really phased her. She turned back to Genie and shrugged. "There's weirder places for a dance party for two. I think this is one of the tamer ones."

Genie grabbed Lydia's hand to start dancing with her. Lydia couldn't help but get the shivers down her back as her face heated up even more. She was holding Genie's hand and she liked it. Even though she used them to work on her gadgets, she still managed to keep them so soft. But Lydia didn't keep her mind on her hands for too long because she kept dancing to the music. And it was a good song they had picked, so it was a shame for it to end and be replaced with a slower one.
Lydia had no clue what to do. Part of her wanted to pull Genie in close to her as they danced, but another part knew that was a little too bold of a move and didn't know if Genie would welcome the advances or not. So she took Genie's lead and just swayed to the music as she kept hold on the Hephaestus girl's hand. She laughed and shook her head at Genie's comment. "Surprisingly, no," she said with a bit of a smirk and a shrug. "I don't really do parties and the parties I do go to don't do my style of dancing."

Lydia was just dancing around and having a good time. She had her hands in the air like she just did't care as she rocked her hips from side to side. Yes, she didn't have the moves or the rhythm that other campers had around camp, but she still liked to have fun and it looked like that Genie was having fun as well. And that was the most important fact in Lydia's book.
She laughed a bit as Genie said her siblings needed to pick the music more often. "I helped build this playlist," she said over the music as she kept dancing. "I think I should be in charge of that instead of them." She threw Genie another wink. "But I'm okay with you picking the ipods as long as you pick the good ones like this one."

Lydia kept going through the playlist as she gave Genie a decent sampling before she was told to stop on a certain song. Lydia looked down at the ipod and a slight smile crept onto her lips. It was one of Lydia’s favorites and Genie also liked it. She couldn't help but feel there was some sort of connection that bonded them further.
But Genie suggested that they go and dance and Lydia couldn't turn her down. She barely managed to set down the ipod before the Hephaestus girl had her hands and leading her to an empty part of the forge. Lydia giggled a bit before she reluctantly let go of Genie’s hands and started dancing in a way that a white girl could be proud of.

Lydia was swaying to the music as she mouthed the words to the song. This was a playlist she had curated herself and she thought it was one of the best ones that the cabin had ever made. She looked up at Genie and smiled as she nodded her head as she asked if she really had picked out the right one. "You really did pick out the right one. So I'm guessing you're more than a little bit lucky, considering how many ipods I brought over." But she really couldn't believe that Genie fixed her favorite one right off the bat. Maybe she would have to thank her later somehow. Maybe with strawberries, chocolate, and sugar?
"It's a lot of good pop music," Lydia said with a slight blush as Genie asked for a sampling. Was she going to be known as the strawberry detective? That wouldn't be so bad. She looked down at the ipod and pressed the skip button. The next song came on and she let it play for a few seconds before she skipped to the next one. "It's the good music on the radio," she explained as she looked up at Genie. "But not the ones with the raunchy lyrics."

“Getting dirty in the forges is different than on the dance floor,” Lydia pointed out before she smirked as she saw Genie’s little wave. She chuckled as she shook her head. She didn't know what it was, but Genie was definitely different than most of the girls she would see around camp and she liked that. A lot.
But she watched her as Genie seemed to repair the ipod with ease. She probably picked the easiest one to repair, since she knew the state of some of them and it was probably easier to use them for scrap metal than trying to repair it. But soon enough, the ipod she was tinkering with was in working order and Genie had it hooked up to a sound system.
Lydia smiled when she was asked to do the honors as she hopped off the hammock and over to Genie. Her fingers brushed over hers to take the ipod from her. Her face heated up slightly as she took the ipod and scrolled through it. Her eyes widened after a moment before she hit the play button. “Are you a psychic as well?” she teased as her favorite play list came through the speakers.

Maybe she was throwing herself at Genie a little too eagerly... Lydia didn't know. She knew that she liked hanging out with the girl and spending more time with her. Sadly, she didn't know if Genie was just putting up with her or returned the feelings. Lydia thought she was an excellent people reader, but she still couldn't read minds. But she thought that Genie might've liked her back, but it could've been the heat of the forges as well. Only time could tell, honestly.
"Hopefully that's not the one with the grind music on it," Lydia said as she scrunched up her face slightly. "My brothers are a big fan of that... and I find it disgusting." Lydia never understood the concept of grinding especially during a party. Who wanted a boner while dancing? That seemed completely illogical to Lydia. "But that might be the one with the good pop music on it. It was such a shame when it broke because I liked the playlist on it."

Lydia smiled to herself and nodded as Genie said that her fashion sense would translate over to painting. “Sounds like a date,” she said as her face blushed slightly but she tried to play it off that it was hot down here. And it was, in more ways than one that Lydia willing to admit now. And she nodded her head again when Genie agreed to help her install the hammock in her room. “It sounds like another date,” she said with a giggle as she shook her head. She didn't even know if this was even considered a date and here she was making more dates. Hopefully, it would be okay with Genie.
She watched the Hephaestus girl as she picked up one of the ipods and started messing with it. Her eyes glanced from her to the ipod before going back up to her again. “Hopefully you'll like the music,” she said with a shrug. “There's a lot of party music on there.”

“I’m not a really artsy person,” Lydia said with a bit of a shrug. “But I do know what colors would look good together and what patterns work and stuff… Most of my siblings would call it my fashion sense, but I can probably translate that into painting. It shouldn’t be too hard, right?” At least she hoped it wouldn’t be, but even if she turned out being bad at it, that would probably give her an excuse to spend even more time with Genie.
Lydia watched from the hammock as Genie seemed to sort her ipods into three piles. It didn’t take a genius to figure out what those piles stood for, especially since she knew the state a lot of those ipods were in. But Genie mentioned installing a hammock in Lydia’s room and Lydia was excited at the idea. Another excuse for her to hang out with the Hephaestus girl and get a hammock out of the deal? “I like the idea, if it wouldn’t be too much trouble for you,” Lydia said as a slight smirk crept onto her face. “I would probably have to buy one from the Hermes cabin, but that shouldn’t be too much of a problem anyway.”

Help her paint? Lydia didn't consider herself the artistic type, but what the heck? She was pretty sure she could do something as simple as painting. Plus, she'd be spending more time with Genie which she wasn't going to complain about, especially if the painting was going to lead to other things. Lydia smirked to herself as she nodded her head. "Just give me a date and time and I'll be here to make sure your shiny machine is shinier!" And she was looking forward to it, perhaps a little too eagerly.
"I might need to convince my siblings to install one," Lydia said as she leaned back and relaxed into it. " definitely very comfy and homey. I really like what you've done here," she said as she looked over at Genie with a smile.
