"The one and only," Kevin said with a wide smile as he pulled himself forward so his head and shoulders were over the edge of the roof. While he was up there, he admired the beauty of his prank. There was bits of balloon pieces all over and this target was soaked. Kevin quickly noted that the boy was kind of cute all soaked. Maybe he would have to pull another water-related prank on him soon.

Kevin smiled bigger when Alaric asked how he got up there. Truth be told, he found a ladder that was too short and had to scale the cabin the rest of the way to get to the room. "I don't think I should tell you," he said with a smirk even though the ladder was still behind the cabin. "I don't want you getting any ideas to prank me back."

No school like the old school Kevin thought to himself as he crouched down while on top of the Hephaestus cabin roof. His siblings were trying to pull elaborate pranks, but sometimes the best ones were the simplest ones. That's why he had a bucket of water balloons right beside him as he crept across the roof. The only hard part about this prank was getting onto the roof, but after that it was simple.

But now came the waiting. He crept over to the edge of the roof right over the door to the cabin. He was waiting for someone to come out and get showered by his water balloons. He heard the door creak open and he readied himself with his bucket. Once he saw a figure underneath him, he dumped the contents of the bucket down onto the poor unsuspecting person.

Kevin had wondered briefly if his ploy wasn't going to work on the new guy. Usually, the newbies just relaxed and that's when he would pull the prank. However, this guy in front of him was too... guarded. Kevin didn't like it. It was like one of those readers who knew how a novel was going to end just by reading the first bit. Time for a plot twist he thought to himself as he fought down a smirk.

"Well," he said as he stuck his hands in his pockets. "In order to get past me, you have to go through initiation. And the initiation is this..." He grabbed the packet of pink glitter he had in his pocket and whipped it out and threw it at him. If everything went well, the boy in front of him would be a pink, glittery mess.

Kevin didn't like that his cabin had an arena session with the Ares cabin one bit. Maybe it was because he dyed all their clothes pink one time, but those Ares kids always liked to pick on and bully Kevin. But him running away from the Ares kids really distracted from his practice time even though he thought it would stop when he put glitter in their underwear. He was going to talk to Marius about it getting switched, but he hadn't seen his cabin leader since he left for the quest and he was supposedly back by now. Kevin could do a few things as counselor, but switching up the cabin's schedule was not one of those things.

Kevin was currently ducked behind a dummy as a group of Ares boys walked past him. He let out a sigh of relief as he straightened up once they were gone. That was a few more minutes to himself before the kids found him. His eyes scanned the arena as he tried to find his cabin or someone to prank, whichever came first. His eyes landed on a blonde boy. The new kid, if Kevin remembered correctly. He was Aphrodite... or was it Athena? He was from one of those A cabins. Just, hopefully, not Ares.

A thought formulated in his head as he straightened up and brushed off the dirt on his pants. He marched over to the boy as he made sure he had his shoulders back to make him look authoritative.

"Excuse me, sir," Kevin spoke as he approached the boy. "You can't go past this point until you're initiated."

Kevin smirked as he could tell that his story was really getting to Leonora based on the fact that she was squeezing his arm pretty dang hard. He was sure that any moment now that his hand and probably his entire arm would get all tingly when it fell asleep on him, but it was worth it. The expression on her face was all worth it, especially since he could see it in her eyes that the idea was really freaking her out, but couldn't stop thinking about it. But this was every writer's dream and Kevin couldn't help but soak it up.

"Ghosts can't hold onto things," he muttered with a slightly evil smirk. "But poltergeists can. They are vengeful spirits and Bianca is not too happy that she's headless." He chuckled to himself as Leonora continued to ramble. He guessed it was something to make her mentally feel better or at least get her off the topic of Miss Bianca. "Do you realize that Hades as a lot more on his plate than a murderous ghost?" His evil smirk grew a little bit. "I think Bianca is low on his list of priorities right now."

His evil smirk was replaced with a frown at the mention of teaching her how to teleport. To be honest, Kevin didn't know if it was a teachable thing. He just knew a few of the siblings, the males ironically, knew how to teleport. He scrunched his eyebrows together as he tried to think of a way to let down Leonora easily. "I could teach you... but I don't know how much we can actually get done. I don't know how dad works this power, but I don't know if it's a teachable power."

The questions kept coming from his sister and some of them almost stumped him. "She doesn't like people, since she learned that they cannot be trusted," he quickly replied to her question. "She was betrayed when she was young by her mother and the first chance she got, she left her family and civilization. She knew she could only trust herself and she didn't want to be hurt anymore." He glanced over at the bonfire to see that his marshmallow had caught on fire. Just the way he liked it. He brought it towards himself to blow out the flaming sugary goodness before he started making himself a s'more.

"Unfortunately," he said as he glanced up at his sister through the corner of his eye as he made his s'more. "It was not a birthday party. A birthday party would've been more enjoyable than that night." He decided to draw out the suspense a little bit more as he took a bite of his s'more and made sure he chewed and swallowed before he continued the story.

"Bianca decided that night that she would take her nightly stroll on the beach, but little did she know she had a... companion joining her for that walk... the last walk of her life." A slightly evil smirk crept onto his face as he continued. "The sailor ambushed her that night and slit her throat, but the cut went too deep. Her head rolled off into the ocean and her body stained the sand with her blood until high tide came in to wash it away." He chuckled a bit as he looked off in the direction of the beach. "Her body still haunts the beach, looking for its head. They say that Bianca doesn't care which head it gets, as long as she gets one." He turned back to his sister and chuckled. "So I'd stay away from the beach at night if I was you." He winked at her before he took another bite of his s'more.
