As soon as they were allowed into the camp by Gem, who left to go check on something when they arrived, BDubs and Etho were immediately introduced to Dionysus and Chiron, the camp directors.

BDubs payed very little attention as they were introduced, muttering a polite response here and there as he glanced around to take in his new surroundings. Etho, on the other hand, seemed very excited and was asking about a million questions a minute to a very disgruntled Dionysus and politely alarmed Chiron.

After the onslaught of questions from BDubs' white-haired friend, Chiron smiled slightly as he noticed someone approaching. "Oh- there he is! BDubs, Etho, this is Scar. Scar, can you show these two around? Thank you."

BDubs and Etho both turned around as 'Scar' reached them.

Scar was a boy maybe a year older than the both of them with unruly dark brown hair, emerald green eyes and a tilt to the corner of  his eyebrows that gave him a permanent mischievous expression- the small smirk that was half-formed on his lips definitely helped with that impression. As the name suggested, Scar was, well... very scarred. All over his face, arms, neck and the parts of his legs that were visible through the large tear in his left pant leg were covered in what appeared to be burn scars.

He had a battered leather bag with a scratched golden clasp (that had definitely seen better days) slung over his shoulder, and he was wearing an orange t-shirt made of a thin material that was so tight it was practically clinging to his skin- 'Camp Half-Blood' was printed on the shirt in black lettering. He was wearing dark gray cargo pants, the pockets of which were overflowing with random bits and bobs like pens, folded up notes, cat treats and important looking pieces of jewellery (and that was just the things that BDubs could see). He was also wearing black Nike trainers with a white tick that (oddly enough) had small feather wings attached to them.

Scar glanced between Etho and BDubs slowly. "You're new, right? I swear I would recognise you if I knew you." To the brunette's surprise, Scar's voice did not match his face as at all- BDubs wasn't sure what he'd been expecting, but it wasn't that.

"Uh- yeah! I'm BDubs, and that's Etho!" The shortest of the three jabbed a finger in the direction of his friend, who waved silently.

The stranger nodded. "Cool names. My name's Scar, but I thiiink Chiron told you that already. I'm the Head Counsellor of the Hermes cabin, which you'll be staying in- until you parentage is confirmed, at least. Oo, parentage, that's a big word. I'll show you around the cabins later, but for now everyone's in the dining pavilion so I'll just- show you that." The green-eyed boy grinned and announced enthusiastically, "Follow me!"

They were then lead to the dining pavilion (supposedly).

It was a large building (kinda?) framed in Greek columns on a hill that overlooked the sea. There were no walls or roof to cover the mess hall. Torches were blazing from the columns and a central fire was burning inside a bronze brazier the size of a bathtub. Each table had a white cloth with purple trim, and there were a small handful of people (roughly) sat at each one.

Scar clapped his hands as they entered the dining pavilion. "So! There is a table for each god. The children of that god sit at that table." He explained quickly, before gesturing to every table and naming the god it was for.

At the Zeus table sat two boys who appeared to be similar in age. One, Martyn, had blonde hair that had been combed over to one side of his head and was stopped from covering his tired blue eyes by a black headband/bandana of sorts. He was watching with an amused expression as the other boy, Joel, a boy with short brown hair that had a dyed green streak, brown eyes and mud smudged along his cheek, ranted about something with an irritated expression.

Two kids that looked related in some capacity were laughing and chatting at the Poseidon table. While the boy (Jimmy) had brown eyes and dark blonde hair and the girl (Lizzie) had blue eyes and bubblegum pink hair, they were easily recognisable as being closely related- they both had similar face shapes, their eyes were both slightly rounder than the average person as well as both having the same eye shape, and Lizzie had barely visible dark blonde roots that were the same colour as Jimmy's messy mop of hair.

Only one person sat at the Demeter table (Demeter was the goddess that Gem guessed was BDubs' mother, right?)- Pearl. She had very light brown hair with dyed blonde streaks that was tied up in a neat plait. Two strands of hair, however, were not tied up and were left to dangle on either side of her face. She had blue eyes as well- a lot of the demigods seemed to.

At the Ares table, a boy with dark blue eyes (the only other thing BDubs had seen with eyes that dark was a dog that used to live at the orphanage) and long dark brown hair (Ren) was peering over everyone's heads at one of the other tables, clearly trying to catch someone's gaze.

The Athena table also had only one person, a boy around seventeen years of age called Tango. He had hair that was dyed bright yellow and arranged into spikes with copious amounts of hair gel, and his eyes were a rich shade of amber- or maybe hazel?- that could easily be mistaken as red in the wrong lighting.

Running with the theme of only one person at a table, the only child of Apollo present was a rather short boy with dirty blonde hair and dark brown eyes who apparently went by Grian- Grian also waved wildly as Scar walked past.

For the first time in a while, two people were seated at the next table over- the Hephaestus table. Two boys had abandoned the idea of eating and were enthusiastically discussing an incredibly large piece of paper spread across the table that BDubs could only assume were blueprints for something. One of the kids (Impulse) had brown hair that appeared to be a similar shade to Joel's, if not slightly lighter, and brown eyes, and he was chattering to his half brother Mumbo, a (scarily) tall boy with shoulder length black hair and dull blue eyes similar to Etho's.

The only other demigod that had any noticeable effects on those walking by was Scott, the only child of Aphrodite. He had dyed cyan hair tied back in an odd hairstyle with a ponytail that turned into a plait halfway down (he pulled it off amazingly though- he seemed amazing, certainly) and very pretty blue eyes- like sapphires- that-

Scar tapped him lightly on the shoulder as Scott glanced over and smirked at the two newcomers. "Don't worry, you don't actually have a crush on him, that's just his power." The taller boy whispered. "He becomes attractive to pretty much any guy that walks too close to him- cause you know, son of Aphrodite- but once you get a certain distance away-" The long-haired brunette pulled a face. "Well, depends on whether you'd actually find him attractive or not. I only do when I'm inside what I like to call 'The Scott Zone'- the radius where his powers affect you."

True to Scar's word, as soon as BDubs walked over to the second to last table, the butterfly-like feeling was gone and actually, now that he looked, Scott's hair was kinda greasy, and he was rolling his eyes with a bored expression every time anyone talked, and BDubs was bewildered as to how any power had effected him to make him think Scott was attractive.

The second to last table Scar declared to be the Hermes table, and the two boys sat there were his half brothers- BigB, a boy with curly black hair, dark skin and brown eyes, and Skizz, a boy with black hair that certainly hadn't been brushed in days (based on the multiple leaves tangled up in his messy mop of ebony curls) and blue eyes, as well as large, feather white wings protruding from his back.

"So- this is the last table. Since you don't have a cabin yet, you can pretty much sit where you wa- oh, right." Scar frowned slightly, gesturing to the last table. "That's Cleo. Daughter of Hades."

BDubs followed his gaze and stared at the girl seated nearby. She had curly, waist-length ginger hair similar to Gem's and bored green eyes that were staring down at her food without a trace of emotion. She was wearing a sleeveless aviator jacket (a bold fashion choice, if BDubs said so himself), olive green cargo pants similar to the pair Scar was currently sporting, and she had a skull and crossbow earring in each ear. Weirdly enough, she had patches of dark green skin reminiscent of a zombie's.

"Why does she-"

"-look like that?" Scar finished. "Eh. She's a child of Hades. All of the kids of Hades all come out a little funny looking, whether that be having a permanent glare or looking like your mother was an undead creature. You guys should probably steer clear of her. Hades has been threatening war on the other gods and mortals alike if he isn't allowed to become king of the gods, and everyone's pretty sure there's a spy at camp."

"It's almost definitely Cleo, everyone's pretty sure." Scar added. "I used to be friends with Cleo and she creeped me out even back then."

Even though they were out of earshot, Cleo glanced over and glared fiercely at Scar, as if she could sense them talking about her.

BDubs frowned. "Just to clarify, we can sit wherever we want... right?" The tanned brunette asked slowly.

"Yep."

"Oh. Okay." Without a second thought, BDubs nodded and quietly walked over to sit down next to Cleo.

The redhead paused as he did so, ever so slowly  turning to look as Etho followed suit and sat down at the table as well. "Did you... mean to sit here? This is the Hades table, you know." BDubs blinked. Her voice was surprisingly pleasant to listen to. It was rather low, but in a good way, and she also had a British accent which was surprising.

BDubs nodded. "Yep! We're new here so apparently we can sit wherever we want. Are we okay to sit here?" He added, aware of Scar's piercing gaze lingering on him.

"Uh... sure, dude. I'm not in charge." The green-eyed girl muttered, seemingly unbothered.

"Cool! Well, my name is BDubs and this is Etho!" Etho awkwardly waved- BDubs had to introduce Etho a lot of the time (his friend wasn't great with new people). "You're Cleo, right?"

"Uh... yeah. That's... me." Cleo squinted at both of them suspiciously. "Is this a prank? Is Scar pranking me?"

"Nope. You just seem cool!"

"Huh."

"Well, it's, uh, nice to meet you." Cleo responded to BDubs' statement by simply nodding.
