There was nothing more relaxing than sitting out on a warm day snacking on freshly picked strawberries at least not in Genie’s book in any case. In fact the girl was so absorbed in her tasty treats that she didn’t even notice anyone approaching her until Callie was right there beside her. Genie of course hadn’t been expecting anyone and when Callie finally spoke up it caused the Hephaestus girl to squeak in alarm and almost drop her bowl. That would have been a very sad turn of events indeed but fortunately after a few moments of juggling Genie regained her composure and her snacks were saved.
“Hey Callie! Boy, that sure was close one.” She said to the girl that had joined her while she made sure the bowl was once more securely resting on her knees. Hopefully no one else would be sneaking up on her but if they did the strawberries would be safe now which was the most important thing. It was then that she turned all her cheerful attention on Callie as if she hadn’t been doing anything at all wrong hiding out here. “Oh these? Naw I didn’t pick them. They were given to me.”
Technically it wasn’t a lie. Genie hadn’t really done any work for the strawberries herself. Her strawberry pickers had done all the actual labor and ‘technically’ they had given them to her after they were done. It was all true, it just depended on what point of view you used to look at the situation. Obviously Genie didn’t think she had done anything to be ashamed of in any case and who could argue with that bright smile and sunny disposition?
Changing gears almost instantly the daughter of Hephaestus nodded to the spot beside her in invitation. “Want to join me? If you don’t have anywhere to be the weather’s nice and these berries are really delicious.” She giggled a little as she offered the bowl to Callie. “There’s plenty to share and I wouldn’t mind some company.”

Some deeds were better done in the shadows. Genie knew that as well as anyone. Rules were usually good things but if you couldn’t fudge them just a tiny little minuscule bit just once every so often then how good were they really? Whether it was letting your foot get a little heavy while driving on a long empty road, or making your chariot out of really cool super reflective chrome that blinded other teams during the race or if it was even borrowing a few strawberries from the fields so that you could have a late afternoon snack there had to be exceptions sometimes and this was one of those times. Genie knew she had promised Lydia that she wouldn't snatch strawberries form the field any more but she also knew she had built the camp's strawberry pickers that made the work so much easier so if each of her picker automatons happened to keep back a small store of the berries that she went by to collect each afternoon was that really so bad? It wasn't like she was hurting anyone. In fact she was actually helping someone...mainly herself...to a little break and who could fault her for that? Certainly no one that was sitting with her here behind the arena so clearly there wasn’t a problem. Those were Genie’s thoughts on the matter in any case and as she set under a nearby tree sprawled out in a lawn chair and snacking on a freshly picked basket of the delicious red fruit she was completely guilt free in he own mind. If anyone had any arguments they could bring them up and Genie would sweetly explain to them the situation. They would have to find her first though and as far as Genie knew no one came out to the fields this late in the day. Callista DeWitt

“Perfect! It’s settled then.” Genie said with a serious nod. “I’ll clear you out some space and get the forge set up for you to do some work all your own the next time you stop by. I’m so excited. It’ll be nice to finally have someone to talk with while I’m here. Normally it’s so quiet you know?” She had no idea if Royce understood or not but she was looking forward to working with someone that could get just as excited about the forge as she could. It was definitely going to be new but Genie liked the idea of getting to know Royce a little better while they worked. She seemed pretty cool after all.
Genie giggled as she watch Royce pretend to drive a car. The girl definitely seemed to have the right idea and Genie liked her girl power attitude. There was no reason guys were the only ones who could have all the fun getting their hands dirty working under a hood and there was no better way to prove that than the two girls showing the whole camp first hand. “Yep. I think you and me are gonna make a great team Royce!”
As Royce turned the conversation back to the big engine Genie began to bounce with excitement at getting the chance to explain her creation. Royce certainly didn’t have to ask twice and almost as soon as she was finished the daughter of Hephaestus jumped right into her explanation. “Well we have chariot races at camp sometimes you see? Just like the old Greeks. Each cabin gets to build their own chariot and this time I thought it would be best if I gave the Hephaestus cabin’s chariot a few modifications before the race so I built this engine from scratch, super charged it to give it all the vrooooooooooooooom and then I’m gonna hook it up to a new few injector system I made to make sure it purrs like a kitten and roars like a lionit’sgunnabeawesome!!!” Genie’s words rushed together as she tried to get everything out in one breath. She succeeded, barely, but she figured Royce would understand being a fellow gearhead and all.

“Now you’re talkin my language Royce.” She said as she nodded towards the corner of the forge she had claimed for herself where among the brightly colored flowers pictures and Genie’s name painted in bubbly letters on the wall sat many toys and doodads and thingamabobs in various stages of completion. “Tinkerin is my love language I think and if you don’t want to be bored I’ve always got projects to work on even if it’s not as big as this chariot here. There’s just so much to make and not enough to time make it.”
Staying busy was one of Genie’s primary solutions for staying happy and positive. It was awfully hard to start focusing on not getting to see her mom or leave camp because she couldn’t / wouldn’t fight when you kept your hands moving and your brain thinking up new ideas. It was also one of the main reasons why she spent so much time in the forge, well, aside from the whole having it all to herself thing. That was pretty cool in and of itself.
Royce seemed to be interested in letting Genie work on the potential car that they were talking about though and, for the moment at least, that was the thing holding her attention. She said something about most people not expecting a girl to want a muscle car but that was where Genie had to step in. “Well that shows what they know. I happen to think a fast car is just what ever girl needs.” She said with a confident nod as her voice took on a distant dreamy tone. “We can like big…hard…heavy hittin…engines just same as any guy can.” The Hephaestus girl sighed contentedly as she came back to the present and turned her attention back towards Royce. “Don’t you worry. I’ll make sure you are drivin in style.”

Genie is always a good one and I always like exploring her super sweet but not so innocent side so that one has my vote to start. Bonus points if Callista uses her powers to help Genie get more strawberries.
Beyond that I like Madison and Ash a lot. Maybe Callista stops to play with the innocent little girl and she ends up scaring her away? Also, I like the idea of Ash and Callista having some history. Maybe she'll start to realize he's really not such a bad guy, he's just super serious XD
Of course if we want to throw everyone together we can. Those are just my top picks to start is off.

So Royce was new. Kind of old to be called too considering Genie had come to camp pretty early herself. Of course that didn’t really matter much in the grand scheme of things but it was interesting nonetheless. It was easy to see now why Royce would have been so unfamiliar with the forge and why Genie had never met her either. That was fine but it did sound like Royce was having a bit of a rough time adjusting and that just wouldn’t do at all.
“Most folks can go back out when camp is over and if you’re a Big Three girl that means you’ll be super strong too. Give yourself some time and I’m sure you’ll be back to normal. At least as normal as it gets for us.” Genie continued to smile but her tone lost a little bit of its cheerful edge as she continued. “But hey if you can’t it’s not so bad either. The weather’s always nice and the food’s good too. There’s not many of us that stick around but I’m always here so the forge is always open.”
Finding out that Royce’s dad was Poseidon was a happy distraction from thinking about her own situation. Genie thought about it for a moment before giving a shrug. “I don’t think our dads have any beef with each other but it’d okay if they did. They’re, them and we’re, us so that kind of stuff doesn’t matter much to me. You just worry about what kind of equipment you want and we’ll get you fixed up”
By the time the talk got back around the cars Genie’s happy nature was back in full force. Royce had barely mentioned the car she wanted before the daughter of Hephaestus was beaming with excitement. “OOooooooooooooooooooh I love a good muscle car. If you do get one you have to show it to me. The roar of the engine, pistons poundin out a steady beat as you rev her up.” She sighed contentedly. “It’s enough to get the blood pumpin every time.”

The boy demigod was definitely the jumpy sort. Genie watched him float for a moment when she said hello and giggled a little bit at the fact that she of all people should have given him a fright. Truth be told Genie was perhaps one of the least intimidating demigods there were but she supposed anyone could get jumpy when they were taken off guard. Fortunately it seemed like no harm was done and as the boy pointed at his necklace she smiled. “Oooooh, magic necklace. Fancy pantsy. You must be pretty close to your godly parents for them to give you somethin like that.”
She grinned at him brightly before turning her positive smile on the nearby girl who asked about equipment. “Weeeeeeell, let’s see...” Genie hopped up on the dolly and peered into the crate as she began rummaging around. “I’ve got big pokey sticks...and oh these are fun for swingin around.” Genie brought out a Greek Xiphos and holding it out arms-length waved it around in a flailing manner before setting it aside. “There’s some of these twangy instruments and if you want to go with something less traditional I’ve got these spin-y things and ninja letter openers...” Genie brought out a bow, a medieval style flail, some throwing stars and kept going until she gave a cheerful “Oh!” She halted her search for a moment to hop down from the dolly wearing a set of celestial bronze knuckles. “I’m not real sure what these ring things are but they’re pretty don’tcha think?”
Genie held her hand out and admired the knuckles as they fit around her fingers and then looked back at the two demigods. “Yep, I’ve pretty much got anything you would need and I can always make something special if that would suit you. This is just to restock what's here at the arena.” There were a lot of options when it came to how they killed things at Camp Half-Blood but for her part Genie had found her own way to deal with it despite her pacifism. She continued to smile at the two and as the girl introduced herself Genie decided she would make an introduction of her own. “I’m Genie Grace from the Hephaestus cabin and it’s nice to meet ya. Are both of you out for a little extra training?”

The Arena. Genie didn’t really make it over to this area of camp much unless of course it was to hide the occasional bowl of ‘borrowed strawberries’. The forge was more her style and as a self-proclaimed pacifist who hated the sight of blood the forge certainly suited the daughter of Hephaestus better than the battlefield. Why force yourself to fight especially when you weren’t very good at it when there were better ways that you could help? That was how she saw it anyways and that was precisely what she was doing now as she walked into the Arena wheeling a dolly carrying a large crate that clanged with the sound of new weapons and armor in front of her. So large was the crate that Genie couldn’t really see over it herself. She guided herself based on her surroundings so she missed the two demigods who were already out for a little extra training. If she had she might have tried to be a little more subtle with her entrance but since she didn’t she sang a little song as she walked to the tune of Lollipop by the Chordettes which she had changed to be at least somewhat related to her task at hand. “Pointy things. Pointy things. I’ve got new pointy things…” She sang in a sweetly cheerful voice as she pushed the crate towards some weapon racks. Genie may not have been a fighter herself but there were lots of demigods at camp who were and to fight they needed swords, spears, arrows, shields, etc. Fortunately, as a daughter of Hephaestus, Genie was really good at making all that stuff and so long as she kept a positive attitude she found she really didn’t mind keeping the camp well supplied with all manner of weapons, armor and equipment. Her song and the fact that she called them ‘pointy things’ rather than weapons helped so here she was wheeling in her latest load to make sure everyone had plenty of stuff to wave around at each other while they trained. Genie continued singing as she walked over to a nearby weapon rack. The song really was rather repetitive when you got down to it. That was until she reached the climatic. “Pointy things!” After her third time through and then added in a much lower register to match the song “They’re good at stabbin'…” She stopped the dolly in front of the rack of weapons and walked around the crate to begin putting things away and it was then that she noticed the other two demigods standing nearby. Genie smiled and gave them both a cheerful wave. “Oh hello! Didn’t know anyone else was here. Don’t need any equipment do ya?”

Hi Rissy. Rex here. These are my Greek characters and if there is anything that interests you just let me know. You can hit me up on pm, discord or reply back.
Virginia (Genie) Grace & Callista Dewitt Genie is a happy Hephaestus girl who enjoys meeting new people, stealing strawberries and who gets a little too excited about her engines. In any case I can see the two of them getting along and being friends because Genie gets along with most anyone. As a daughter of Persephone they might run into each other in the strawberry fields where Genie will probably be pilfering a few to eat.Usually though she can be found around the forge if Callie ever finds herself in need of arrows.
Madison Delcroix & Callista Dewitt Madison is a strange, manipulative, possibly sociopathic(?) daughter of Eris who is in to voodoo and probably a host of other odd things for a child of her age. She would be sweet and innocent at first probably asking for Callie to play with her and Callie would soon learn how strange she really is. I'm not sure what would happen but if you are looking to make Callie's life a little more hectic Mads is your girl.
Drew Desher & Callista Dewitt Drew is a villain turned slight anti-hero at the moment. Son of Thanatos who was born with a terminal illness that is getting worse. He's a very broody character with a lot of conflicting emotions at the moment so I'm not sure how friendly he would be but she might run into him late at night skulking around the camp. He probably won't be much of conversation at first but she might open him up a bit.
Theodore Dean & Callista Dewitt Theo is a son of Hecate and a bit of a show off. Currently he's going through a rough patch with his girlfriend so that's got him a little out of sorts but he would friendly enough maybe even do some harmless (at least for her) flirting as he's not really sure about things in his life right now. In any case Callie's likely to run into him most anywhere and he would probably take an interest in her after he noticed her.
Ashley Bates & Callista Dewitt Ash is a straight-laced and super serious son of Apollo. He can come off as a bit brash with people especially when they are new but in general he is a good guy. He can be found at the archery range, wrangling pegasi at the stables or, if Callie ventures out in the woods surrounding camp, out hunting in the forest. If Callie can put up with his brash nature she'll probably find a pretty dependable friend but Ash certainly isn't one to go out of his way to make people like him.

"You're still pretty new at this demigod thing huh?" Genie asked in a genuinely curious tone. The daughter of Hephaestus had been around for a while and she had seen a lot of demigods come and go. Folks usually got used to their powers after a while but it didn't happen over night. Fortunately, Genie never minded helping them out where she could. "Hephaestus kids like me are usually in the forge. It's kinda out dad's thing so we help make the weapons and armor for everyone along with any other tools that might be needed. Course most of us like to tinker too so that's where this comes in."
Genie paused long enough to nod to the chariot before continuing. "I don't think there are any rules about other campers not being able to help out though so feel free to stop by whenever you want. Oh and don't worry too much about being stuck here either. It's not so bad and most get to go home pretty regularly." Unfortunately Genie was in the crowd that didn't get to go home much which was partly the reason she made her home in the forge most of the time. She didn't want to put a gloom over the moment though so she kept silent about that part. "As for that nice new car, you'll get to spend your money on one eventually. Just don't forget that sometimes the old girls are better than those new models they keep putting out. Just so long as you love em and treat em right."

Yeah people were beginning to look. Genie guessed it didn’t matter that much, not really. There were much better things happening right now than a bunch of gawkers but the daughter of Hephaestus didn’t have too much experience with being the center of attention. Then again maybe that was something she would have to get used to when Lydia was around because she certainly was worth it.
Genie giggled a little at the suggestion to let them keep looking. There was no telling who would be watching them but it was kind of fun to know Lydia didn’t mind. She didn’t have too much time to think of a response however as all thoughts were quickly silenced as Lydia suddenly leaned forward into a kiss. Genie gave a contented sigh at this and closed her eyes to enjoy it further as they continued to sway together on the dance floor. Several cat calls and whistles rang out around the crowded cabin but she didn’t really notice. All those other party goers were distant memories right now.
When their lips parted a few moments later Genie leaned her head against Lydia’s and opened her eyes. “I know I would be jealous after that. My dance partner is a really good kisser too even if she is a little bit of an exhibitionist.” Genie tickled Lydia’s ribs a little to go along with the teasing hoping to get the girl laughing and the nodded towards a nearby table where she could see someone getting snacks. “How about we get something to drink before we make things too steamy out here.”

“You did huh?” Genie said with an impressed tone in her voice. She could appreciate a girl who knew her way around a shop and even better yet an engine. Oh sure she could get all gearhead with her siblings from the Hephaestus cabin, most of them anyways, but it was rare to meet any other campers who liked hanging around the forge as much as she did. In Royce’s case Genie thought this was turning into a fortunate little encounter that she had with the girl.
“I practically grew up in a shop too. My mom’s. She taught me everything I know and I helped her out around her shop fixing up cars. Nice to meet someone who kind of knows how that goes.” Genie grinned as Royce offered her help and nodded her agreement. She wouldn’t mind having a little extra help around the forge and she definitely wasn’t going to keep out a camper that had an interest in everything that went on here. “You can come around more if you want. There might be a few of my brothers or sisters who might say something but just tell them you’re with me. If they give you any trouble I’ll whip em into shape.” Genie giggled a little as she thought of having to scold one of her siblings. She didn’t have to do it often but they knew the forge was her domain to control. “Seriously though I’d like an extra pair of hands and if you want to work I could find you some tools of your own. We could even make em ourselves if you want. More fun that way.”

The music was fun and being out on the dance floor with Lydia was even more fun than that. It was nice that Lydia didn’t seem to mind her goofiness or the offbeat way she shuffled her feet to the beat of the song. Instead her girlfriend slipped her hands down around Genie’s waist and pulled her closer. That was certainly different than a few moments ago but as they swayed together now much closer than before Genie had to admit she didn’t mind at all.
“This is nice.” Genie said as she looked Lydia in the eyes. She was really enjoying the closeness of the other girl and the way they seemed to move together like they were the same person. “I didn’t know dancin could be so nice.” For a moment it seemed like it was just the two of them out there on the floor which would have been just fine with Genie. If they were though this night might be going a lot differently because Lydia looked really cute right now and frankly it seemed like she needed a kiss. “umm…” Genie said in a sudden moment of self-consciences. With a nod to the crowd that had suddenly taken interest in the dancing couple she continued. “Don’t look now but I think we’re becomin the main event.”

Genie was fairly used to these kinds of operations. She used to help her mom back at the garage all time and she was a lot stronger than she looked at least with things she was familiar with like carjacks and engine blocks. Pound for pound though she was definitely a lightweight and having the extra muscle wasn’t only needed but greatly appreciated. Fortunately with Royce’s help they got the engine lifted.
The daughter of Hephaestus wasted no time getting the monstrous engine into position. It was heavy and cumbersome but in Genie’s book that was just proof of how awesome it was going to be once they got it installed. Still, she knew that they couldn’t waste much time and as she pushed the big engine over the chariot she glanced back at Royce and gave the girl a nod. “Alright nice and slow. We’ll set her down nice and tender and then she’ll almost be ready.”
Sweat standing out on her forehead Genie carefully helped Royce guide the engine down. “Almost there…Almost…” She said as the engine settled into its housing and then as the great weight of it was finally not threatening to rip their arms off she breathed a sigh of relief. “Whew…Wow I would have never done that all by myself.” She said as she turned back to Royce with an even bigger grin on her face than usual. “Thanks a million hun. You’re a life saver let me tell you. I owe you one, big time.”

Genie had unfortunately been cursed with noodle arms. No matter how often she was banging around in here or lifting heavy machinery it seemed like she wasn’t the type for building up muscle. She supposed it could be her tendency to spend more time daydreaming about cars and eating chocolate covered strawberries but then again everyone had their vices. Royce though definitely didn’t seem to share he problem. The girl looked strong, kind of like what she would expect out of a Heracles kid, but even if that wasn’t the case this girl who had stumbled into her work area could probably help out especially if they worked together. Fortunately she seemed pretty nice too which was all the better.
“Yeppers! It’ll be a big help.” Genie agreed enthusiastically as Royce seemed to get the idea. “The chain works like a pulley see and it lifts the engine block up, let’s you move it around and then set it where you want. Pretty nifty huh?” The girl’s positivity practically shone out of her. She was glad she had found a potential helper and was even more excited about the possibility of getting her chariot working. “Just get on the end of that chain and we can see if we can get it up. I’ll be on the front so I can get it just like I need it and then we can lower it in all nice and easy.” Picking up the chain Genie got ready herself to try the engine again. “Sound like a plan?” Stilling beaming the Hephaestus girl offered Royce the other end of the chain for her to take. “Count of three and we lift okay?”
