Make a Mess (OPEN)

[Deleted]

No one wanted to play with Sebastian it seemed. Nuna was no where to be found which was happening more and more often. She had been spending a lot of time with a big scary boy with a pretty birdy sticker on his neck. He had stomped around camp for a while pouting, but despite his best efforts none of the other campers would pay attention to him. At least with Jessi not watching him he was free to do whatever he pleased. The young boy had already managed to eat more chocolate than it seemed his tiny tummy could hold.

He had gotten bored though, and boredom plus young children is never a good idea. It usually ends in broken things and big messes. Sebastian was definitely making quite a big mess and having a lot of fun while doing so. He was covered in paint as was most of the things in the room. The boy had gotten himself into the acrylics and hadn't even bothered to find a paint brush nor paper, fingerpainting the entire room. Who needs a canvas when you have the world? His little hand prints were everywhere- on the walls, floor, and he had somehow managed to get some on the ceiling. It was absolute chaos, the little boy giggling in the midst of it.

Genie was out and about today. She had been cooped up in the forges for practically a week working on a major project and now it was finally time for a much deserve break around camp. She hadn’t minded the work of course. In fact she had even strung up a hammock by her forge just so that it could be a little home away from home when she was working on a project but even Genie got a little stir crazy sometimes. She needed some social interaction and there was no better way to do that than to explore the camp for a bit.

She hadn't gone far when her walking eventually led her by the arts building. She had never been much good at art herself, metal and chrome were more her thing, but that didn't mean she didn't like it. To the contrary she thought painting was super fun and was even the only Hephaestus kid to decorate the door to her room with colorful but badly painted flowers. Still, it had been a while since she had tried her hand at it and by the sounds of commotion coming from inside that sounded like where the party was. That being the case Genie decided to stop in to see what was going on.

What she found surprised her. A cute little boy all by himself and covered in paint. The sight made Genie grin and after a minute of watching him she couldn't resist stepping inside to join him. "Hey there." She said cheerfully. "Looks like you're having fun. Do you think I could paint with you?"

[Lucas Foster]

Lucas didn't want to hang out with the horseman today. Chiron was boring and he wanted to hang out with his siblings. However, they were training at the arena and Lucas was strictly forbidden from the training arena after the little fit he threw while he was with his cool bubby. So the seven year old wandered around camp. And wandered. And wandered. He tried to be sneaky though, because he didn't want someone to catch him and drag him off to Chiron. When he thought someone would get him, he ducked into the arts building only to find a girl (with cooties) and a boy his age. He smiled widely as he realized what was happening.

"I WANNA HELP PAINT!" he declared as he ran over and grab handfuls of paint. An evil grin grew on his face as he started throwing those handfuls of paint onto the wall. This was looking a lot better than what this place usually looked.

It seemed that Seb wouldn't have to play all by himself for long. He spotted an older girl out of the corner of his eye and threw his hands up in surrender, prepared to be scolded for creating such a mess. To the child's relief, getting him in trouble didn't seem to be her intention. A cute little smile settled on his paint-splattered face as he lowered his hands back down. He nodded happily in response to her question. Finally, someone to fawn over him!

He was ready to get down to business stealing the girl's heart when a second little boy joined them. The sweet smile dropped from his face as he sized up the new arrival, glaring slightly. He finally had the spot light and no way was he going to let someone else swoop in and take it! He was the cute baby of the camp and no one else could take that from him.

His dark chocolate eyes widened, stumbling back with a gasp as the blonde boy began to throw paint. "You're ruining my pretty pictures!" he whined loudly, referring to the finger paintings the other boy had covered up. How could someone be so rude to come in and just paint all over his hard work? The nerve!

[Virginia Grace]

’Oh dear.’ Genie thought as soon as the second boy showed up and she heard the first boy’s reaction. This wouldn’t do at all. These two should be having fun and playing together not getting mad because one is stealing the spot light. The Hephaestus girl didn’t know if she could fix this or not but by the gods she was going try. There was no reason they all couldn’t play with the paint and have a good time. If nothing else they could completely colorfy the arts building and who wouldn’t have fun with that?

Thinking for a moment Genie finally came up with an idea. She went over to sit down between the two boys wearing a delighted grin on her face. “We’ve got so much paint why don’t we see who can make the biggest and bestest painting?” She asked happily. She could tell that the smallest boy was content to do his own thing. She wasn't really sure about the blonde boy though , he just seemed like he wanted to make a mess. Both were fine in Genie's opinion she just wanted to play with the boys but maybe if they all had their own space they could make this work and have some fun. If not they might run into problems.

[Lucas Foster]

Lucas was having fun. His Sissies or Bubbies would never let him do something like this, but here he was making just an absolute mess in the art building. And he was loving it, even if he was wearing his semi-nice clothes that day and he knew that his sissy would yet at him about all the paint that was on him. But this was so worth it in his mind. He looked over his shoulder and stared at the other boy was he whined about his pictures. Lucas then looked back at the wall and scrunched his eyebrows together. “What pictures?” he asked before looking back at the wall. He was about to start something with whiny boy when the girl distracted him.

Biggest and bestest painting? Lucas could surely do that. “I’M GONNA WIN!” he cried out as he grabbed more handfuls of paint and started throwing them at the walls. He was gonna win this contest no matter what.

Sebastian was about ready to burst into tears, his big dark eyes already brimming with tears. When the boy threw a fit it was certainly something to behold. He couldn't believe the blonde boy would just insult his paintings like that! It seemed the older girl could sense the tension and jumped in with a suggestion. A contest? Seb wasn't sure how to feel about that, especially with how violent the other boy seemed to be. Frankly he was a bit scared.

The feeling wasn't helped as the boy shouted and began throwing paint. Sebastian glared at the girl for causing such havoc. He was just having a nice time finger painting until these two came along. He grumbled to himself and gathered up his own paints in a slightly more dignified fashion, walking over to a clear spot on the floor. He decided to paint a portrait of him and his nuna playing at the beach. It was a bit of a mess in all reality, but the thought was sweet. No doubt he would win over the teenage girl.

[Virginia Grace]

Genie's plan had the desired effect. As she had suspected the blonde boy had taken to the competition with relish and had begun to throw paint at the walls with reckless abandon. Hopefully that would keep him more than a little occupied for a while especially considering he seemed like the type that would have fun just tearing a place to pieces. The quieter boy on the other hand went off to be by himself and get to work on what, she had no doubt, was to him a serious masterpiece.

Genie smiled for a moment as she watched the two boys then grabbed some of the big squeeze bottles of paints and made her way over to the place that Sebastian had taken for himself. She had a seat a short distance away and turned so that she could keep an eye on the wild boy while she interacted with the one that actually seemed to be enjoying the painting rather than the chaos. "Hi there. I guess you kinda attracted a crowd huh?" She said sweetly as she shook up her bottles of paint in preparation. "It looks like you've got the start of a very pretty picture there. What's your name?"

[Lucas Foster]

Lucas laughed manically to himself as he smeared his handfuls of paint all over the wall. There was no really plan behind what he was painting. But he knew he had to be good. That's what his dad was good at. Art and music and yelling. And Lucas knew it was only just a matter of time before his painting was complete and he would be declared the champion over the whiny boy.

He took a step back from his masterpiece as he nodded his head to himself. This would definitely make him win over that other boy. He turned around to see that the girl was sitting on the floor next to the other boy and talking to him. Lucas narrowed his eyes at her. She was playing favorites! That was completely unfair! Luckily, Lucas didn't like to play fair. So he grabbed another handful of paint and threw them directly at the boy and the girl. That would show them.
