New Arival (Open)

[Rima Nishizawa]

He led the little girl into the house, holding in one hand the handle to a case filled with her things. The other hand was clasped around the child's. It was easier for him to walk now with his shoes off, now that he didn't have to worry about the shoes falling off his hooves. He turned and closed the door behind the child, looking down at her for a mere second or two before moving on. Usually the child was open with him; she hadn't said a thing since they left Port Clements. He wasn't at all surprised, though. He had revealed himself as something she had thought was only in the stories her father told her every night before bed. He sighed softly and led her further in.

"Where are we going?" the little girl asked quietly. Her skin, abnormally pale, was cool to the touch. Her hair was currently a light gold-blond, but Francis knew that would change with Spring. The girl's hand that wasn't holding the Satyr's was clutching a small polar bear that had been left for her by her mother. Khione had needed to return to Quebec so her father Boreas wouldn't find out about the demigoddess she had birthed.

"Well, Rima-chan, we're going to find an old friend of mine," Francis replied, using the Japanese honorific as Rima's father had. "My friend runs this camp. I wanted you to meet him so you know who to go to if something happens." Rima nodded, but said nothing more. Also not surprising, given how she'd been treated at school. He hadn't heard about it until after the little girl's powers had manifested. The only passive ability she had was her lower body temperature, making her less suseptible to cold.

[Tara Winters]

Tara pulled on her jacket before she walked out of the Hermes cabin. She couldn't wait to be claimed. Sara was a daughter of Poseidon. Tara couldn't be anything other than that right? The two were identical twins. How could Tara not be claimed yet? She found it extraordinarily frustrating.

Sara. Her long lost sister, back from the dead. At least that's how it felt. Finding out that she'd been lied to her whole life, or at least the past six years...wasn't an easy realization to come to. She'd believed her sister was dead. Her mother had told her that, but then Tara had come here, and the very first day had seen Sara. It had been too much to take in. In a way it still was. Tara still believes that she's going to wake up and realize it's all a dream. But, so far that hasn't happened.

She pulled her hair out from under her jacket as she stepped out onto the grass and ran her fingers through her hair as she started walking. The loose curls fell just past her shoulders, and she still loved twisting it around her fingers.

She looked up towards the Big House, she decided she would go up there today. She wasn't really sure why, maybe there was small room with some books in it she could shift through? She hadn't really noticed very many before hand, but since she'd been here she'd seen several people reading books, they had to come from somewhere right? So she headed towards the house.

As soon as she walked in she immediately noticed the little girl. She was with a satyr, and Tara tried not to stare at the goat legs, she still wasn't used to all the different creatures roaming around the camp, satyrs, naiads, and perhaps the most interesting and by far the thing that had excited her the most, was Chiron. She'd never imagined that centaurs would actually exist. Sure, she'd lived with her Pegasus, Shura, majority of her life, but a centaur? That had been mind boggling, at least at first.

The girl was small, couldn't have been more than six or seven, and looked kind of nervous. Tara understood that. She was new here as well, and knew how hard it was adjusting to such a new place. She walked towards the small girl. She stopped several feet away and leaned forward, putting her hands on her knees so she could be at eye level with the girl. She smiled, "I'm Tara, what's your name?"

[Rima Nishizawa]

Rima's dark eyes widened when the older girl spoke, and she tried to hide behind her Satyr escort. He smiled and lightly pressed a hand to the child's back.

"It's alright," he told her. "The others here are friends. They won't hurt you." She looked up at him, then nodded slowly. She looked then at the older girl, then held out her polar bear.

"Atashi... Koyuki desu," she said quietly, pretending it was the polar bear, and emphasizing that my making it move. She knew a lot of Japanese, as it was something her father spoke around the house most often. She was also fluent in English because of her school. "Kore wa... Rima... desu..." Names would be clear enough. She felt more confidant in her Japanese, simply because it was her first language.

She often used the polar bear, named Koyuki, as a way to talk to others. Having been bullied in her school, she was very careful around strangers. There were still some faded bruises from the last time she had been knocked down and kicked, but they were mostly on her stomach and sides, and faded to an ugly yellow-brown.

"Hajimemashite," Rima said quietly, making the polar bear bow. She dipped her head, but was obviously not going to talk much more than that.

OOC:
Translations:

Atashi Koyuki desu. = I am Koyuki.

Kore wa Rima desu. = This is Rima.

Hajimemashite. = Pleasure to meet you.

[Jenna Moretti]

Jenna did not want to wake up this morning. She hated mornings even though sometimes nobody was up and it felt nice to wonder around until somebody came that is. Then she would go hide in the woods but today she went to the Big House for some reason. Jenna put her right hand on the outside and dragged her nails across the wood. She went inside not before looking behind her to make sure nobody was there. When she went inside she saw a little girl who was speaking Japanese, a satyr and another girl. Jenna knew a little bit of Japanese but not much.

Jenna walked up to the little girl and knelt down so she could be at the girl's level. "Kon'nichiwa watashi wa jenadesu." She put her hand out slowly to ruffle the girl's hair. Then Jenna smiled before looking at the polar bear the girl had. Then she remembered that the girl's skin was almost cold as ice. Jenna keep thinking the girl felt better by talking in Japanese so Jenna would keep trying, "Anata no okāsan wa mangaichi yuki no megamideshou ka?" she asked. Jenna knew the Snow goddess's children before because she had meet one before back when he was a camper.

((outfit: Clicky Translations: the first one is: Hello I am Jenna.
the second one is: would your mom be the Snow Goddess by any chance?

Jenna does not care if the girl does not know she still asked))

[Tara Winters]

Tara stared wide eyed as the girl started speaking. She was talking, that much was obvious because her lips were moving, but what was she'd saying? Her lips formed no words that Tara could pick out. She stood up straight, completely unsure how to reply. She bit her lip and put her hands behind her back. "I'm sorry...I don't understand."

She could only read lips of people speaking English, she'd never attempted to learn another language, English had been hard enough learn, she hoped that the girl understood her, other wise they would be stuck.

Then another girl came over and stood beside her, this person seemed to speak the same language as the first, and because she too spoke in words that Tara couldn't begin to read, and the little girl seemed to understand. Tara sighed, and guessed that today just wasn't her day.
