Normal as in everyone from my world smells like McDonalds for monsters?
No, but there are a few of us do.
If we're lucky we get taken to Camp before we get eaten. Usually around 9 or 10.

It's definitely an inherited trait. I get mine from my Dad.

How about you?

[outwear]

Hold on. One question.
Why is Camp capitalized?

[sonofacesius]

Because? Are you really asking about grammar right now?

Camp Half-Blood.

It's a camp for demigods.

Did I not mention that?

I didn't mention that did I?

[outwear]

That name is fucked up.
Camp Half-Blood for demigods?

Christ.

What sort of message does
that send to people back home?
Do they just let it happen?
Is it a training camp or
...another kind of camp?

[sonofacesius]

Yeah, that's not the first time I've heard that. Kind of why I just call it Camp.

You can imagine peoples reactions when they first learn about everything then. It doesn't really have a pamphlet.

And yeah, pretty much?

It's a training camp. A safe place to learn how to not get eaten.

I'm not saying it doesn't work but....
Like I said I'm getting to my expiration date.
We literally had to fight a war to get the gods to pay child support so....

there's not a lot of accountability.

Shitty parenting is universal, I guess.

So, for me, I tried to quit.
Got to school, and left the life.
And it dragged me right back in.
Dean never really got that chance.
I'd get him out if I could, but
after all these years, I think
he thinks it's all he's worth.

Don't go that route either.

[sonofacesius]

So....nothing in excess? I think my dad has that written on his temple at Delphi.
I don't think he applies it to himself though.

I understand Dean a bit. After training at Camp, I'm not really good at anything else.

I can't really fit in or be safe in the regular mortal world.

Were you able to find a middle road? Something that involved both monsters and date night?
