"I think people are going to take notice even if it's not ope and running yet," Lydia said with a bit of a smirk as she looked over at Genie. "I mean, it's a shiny machine. That's going to distract people to a point and then the function will distract them further. People are like crows sometimes. Shininess helps a lot when it comes to these kinds of things." But she watched Genie as she took the ipods back to her work space as she turned around to look at the corner that she had claimed.
"It definitely looks homey," she agreed as she walked over to the hammock. She moved blankets and pillows around to make herself a little spot as she perched herself onto it. "I really don't see hammocks around camp and you'd think there would be a lot more." She relaxed into the hammock a bit as she watched Genie with a bit of a smirk on her face. "I can see why you find this relaxing," she said with a smirk on her face.

As Lydia admired the machine, she snuck looks at Genie out of the corner of her eye. She was in a t-shirt and overalls and somehow that made her look completely adorable. Maybe Lydia was a little too dressed up for the occasion, but she knew she could never beat Genie with how adorable she was. And that was okay. Lydia was here to be with her and there was no need for there to be competition, yet. She looked back at the machine as she looked it over. It was human-like, which was something she wasn't expecting, but it was impressive. It definitely beat the entire box-like machine that Lydia had imagined.
"It already looks pretty impressive right now," she said as she turned back to face Genie with a smile. "I can't wait to see it fully functional. I think everyone will be distracted by it." She chuckled to herself as she handed over the ipods to Genie, since that's why she came down here. "It's a lot of broken ones," she said with a bit of a shrug. "And some of them were thrown in drunken spats... so I don't know if those are repairable or not."

It was Friday and Lydia was all dolled up to see Genie. Granted, she was only slightly dolled up because she was going to be in the forges and she was warned that it was hot. So that's why she wore her flowiest dress and put her hair up into a ponytail. She had minimal makeup on, since she was pretty sure that she was going to sweat it off anyway. But she was going to see Genie for this date that they had planned. Or was it really a date? The forges were a pretty unconventional place to have a date, especially since she would be watching Genie fix the numerous ipods her siblings had broken. But she wasn't going to worry about that too much. She was going to see Genie and that was good enough for her.
So after a final check in the mirror, Lydia grabbed the basket of broken ipods her siblings collected and she went off to the forges. It was a pretty quick trip, but she did hesitate for a moment at the entrance. She wasn't quite sure how to announce her presence, but she figured she'd figured it out once she was there. And so she headed in. And just as she was warned, it was hot, but it didn't bother her too bad. She kept walking in until she saw Genie and something she was working on. "Oooh..." she awed once she saw the machine. "Is this the new shiny machine you're working on?"

Lydia smiled as Genie seemed to get excited over their plans. Secretly, Lydia was excited about it too, but she had to keep some level of professionalism right now. After all, she was dealing with a strawberry thief, even though she was working on reforming her with shiny machines and probably along with other things as well. "I never said I didn't like shiny things," Lydia chuckled as she looked at Genie. "But I'm definitely interested to see what other machines you have whipped up. But it's settled. I'll see you this Friday in the forges."
Lydia looked out towards the amphitheater as her smile faded slightly. "I should probably go back and report to my siblings and Chiron. Tell them I don't know who the thief is and that they were too quick for me to identify them." She looked back over at Genie as she threw her a quick wink.

Friday? Lydia did a quick check through her mental calendar before she nodded her head. "Friday works perfectly for me. Gods know that my siblings will be probably throwing some big party. It'll be nice to have something... calmer and quieter for once. I think it sounds like a perfect plan." They had a date. Kind of. It was a bit of a weird kind of a date. Maybe more like a hanging out session. Lydia really didn't care about the terminology as long as she got to see Genie again and for, hopefully, a little bit longer.
Lydia giggled a bit as she shook her head as Genie started talking about shiny machines. She didn't know why, but it was slightly funny to her. "I'm pretty sure everyone is like crows sometimes with how much they like shiny things. But I think you'd win them over. It sounds like a good plan."

"And who better to party with than a Dionysus girl?" Lydia said with a light laugh as she shook her head. It looked like she was going to make a trip to the forges sooner rather than later, but it was for a good cause and a good time. She would be hanging out with Genie who seemed pretty cool and she would also be getting all those ipods replaced. In Lydia'a book, that was a complete win-win situation. The question after that would be how to spend more time with Genie, but Lydia figured she would be making as many excuses as she could.
"I guess I can let you get away with a little thieving," Lydia joked a bit. "As long as I turn my back, then I won't be none the wiser. Besides, I think people will be too obsessed with your shiny machine to worry about a few strawberries going missing."

"Sensitive pieces of equipment?" Lydia repeated with an amused look on her face. "I might need to stop by after all. And light clothing? Good thing I own a ton of dresses. Then again, I think a lot of my sisters do, since that seems to be their go-to party gear of choice." Lydia was seriously tempting the idea of just hanging out with Genie in the forges. Why wouldn't she? Genie seemed like she would enjoy it and she looked like someone she would like to get to know better in more ways than one.
Lydia laughed as Genie mentioned saying out of trouble. "Hey now, there's still hope for your trouble making. Haven't you heard that the best thieves make the best cops? So there's maybe hope for your strawberry stealing ways."

"Well, I might have to keep you company in the forges one of these days," Lydia said as she returned the smile. "We have, like, a basket full of broken ipods. That might keep you busy for a little while and I don't mind hanging out in the forges. I usually don't spend time down there, but I might have an excuse to do so now." Lydia thought of the forges as a hot and sweaty place, but she figured she wouldn't mind it as much if she was hanging out with Genie. She seemed like she was very excellent company like she was now.
But that little bit of an idea she gave Genie seemed to run amok in her head. Lydia couldn't help but smile a bit wider as Genie started talking about it. "I think it'd be worth it to smuggle at least a few strawberries for you in exchange for a machine," she said with another wink.

"But that's still a useful talent compared to most people," Lydia said with a bit of a shrug. "I might need to come to you to fix one of our ipods after a party. We seem to go through those quickly."
"Then I think I'll volunteer for this position more often," Lydia said with a chuckle. "Have you ever thought about making a strawberry harvesting machines?" Lydia asked as she raised her eyebrows at Genie. "That would definitely make you the hero of the Dionysus cabin... maybe even Demeter as well. Even if they turn out to be unappreciative of it, I would still like one," Lydia said with a wink. Being on strawberry duty was always the worst and she swore her cabin was always bickering over who had to go out and tend to the strawberries. Lydia managed to use reverse psychology on her siblings, but that only lasted for so long.

"I guess magic makeup does have its perks, but not in the ways I was thinking of, ya know?" Lydia said with a bit of a shrug. "I mean... I guess makeup can make you feel empowered so you can do anything... but I don't know... to me, it's just not the same like building society-changing machines or whatever." Lydia managed to finish off her second strawberry as she grabbed a third one with no hesitations and dipped it in sugar. She had a satisfied smirk on her face as she took another bite.
"You really did pick out the good strawberries," she said as she looked over at Genie and winked at her. "Such a shame that Chiron won't be able to sell these."

Lydia finished off her strawberry as he contemplated on grabbing another one. It was wrong for the daughter of Dionysus to do the one thing she was sent out to stop, but since she was already caught up in the act... She reached for another strawberry and dipped it in chocolate as she looked over at Genie with a bit of a smile. "Well, I guess I need to be the bit of a rebel in a cabin full of partiers." She laughed lightly before she took another bite of a strawberry. She looked over at Genie as she shook her head.
"I get what you're saying," she said as she looked over at Genie and smiled at her slightly. "I really do get it, but you have to admit your talent is a lot more useful than a whole lot of things around camp. Like the Aphrodite cabin can do magic makeup. That really doesn't make the world a better place, you know? But machines can do that and you could invent the next life-changing and saving machine."

As Lydia ate the strawberry, she looked at Genie as she enjoyed both. Would she get yelled at later? Probably. But for now, it was completely worth it. Lydia raised her eyebrows as Genie went on to say something that her psychology knowledge was useful to an extent. Lydia couldn't help but laugh as she shook her head. "But it's kind of strange that a child of the personification of insanity is studying the brain and what happens for that insanity to happen." She smirked a bit as she shrugged her shoulders. "But working on machines must be cool. You know, you could work on anything or be able to fix practically anything. I think that's pretty neat. You can't really fix anything with the brain."

Lydia was morally in the grey, but all the greatest philosophers and psychologists and ethic studiers had the funnest time in there, right? But Lydia wasn't too concerned about it now, especially since she was watching Genie pick out the finest strawberry from the fields. And she really enjoyed it, especially since Genie was probably one of the cutest girls she had seen around camp. Too bad she was also a little bit of a strawberry thief.
A slight smile crept onto Lydia's face as Genie produced one of the best looking strawberries she'd seen and did a little jingle for her. She laughed lightly as she took the strawberry. "Why, thank you," she said as she proceeded to dip it into the chocolate. She made sure she had it good and coated before Genie spoke and Lydia looked up at her. "I read about psychology and ethics and philosophy," she said as she pulled her strawberry out of the chocolate. "Most people find it boring, but I like it," she said before she decided to take a bite out of her strawberry. Delicious.

Lydia knew she was treading dangerous water with the temptations sitting out in front of her. But would she risk it? As of right now, she was in all different shades in morality. But was it worth it? The temptation was right in front of her. She eyed the strawberries before she looked over at Genie. Did she dare risk it? She knew if she got caught that she would personally get more than a slap on the wrist. But that seemed to be okay for now.
A slight smirk crept onto Lydia's face as he looked down at the strawberries and the various goodies to dip them in. "I'm a chocolate kind of person," she said as she looked back at Genie. "So you can pick me out the finest strawberry you have."

"Counselor," Lydia quickly corrected. She was just a counselor and preferred to stay that way. her brothers could take on more duties, even though they usually did a horrible job of it. But Lydia had enough on her plate that being cabin counselor was just right for her. Besides, being only a counselor had its perks, like running into cute strawberry thieves.
But speaking of strawberries, Lydia eyed them as Genie ate one covered in sugar. She felt a pang of jealousy, but managed to logic it out that she was probably hunger after all that detective work. She looked back up at Genie as she raised an eyebrow at her. "Unfortunately, no," she said with a sad smile as she shook her head. "That's not a cabin perk we get. They're the camp's, not our cabin's." She looked down at the strawberries and the various goodies to go along with them before she looked back up. "Are they good?"
