Characters: Annabeth; Zatanna, Vanessa, Ororo, Bryn, Soranik
Date: Today/Tomorrow idek??
Location: PLACES
Situation: Teaching Annabeth how to normal girl
Warnings/Rating: T overall, talk of sex

[When you have spent literally over half your life at a camp for training demigods how not to die in the mortal world, it's really not all that surprising that Annabeth is bad at normal nine times out of ten. There's just usually other things she'd rather be doing. Like poking at her laptop. Reading a book. Knife practice (not that she isn't already good, but it never hurts to spar, and she very much enjoys the 10:2 ratio of victory over Percy right now). Research of any or all kind, and she hasn't stopped drawing buildings even here.]

[So please ladies. Come to her suite, knock on her door, and kidnap her away for shenanigans and girl times, and don't take no for an answer!!]

First rule: go out and do normal things. Like today and shopping. That's normal and boring. [Nod nod.] Second rule: Talk about boring things. Like the weather.

[sophos]

[She's quiet for a moment.] It's pretty warm out today. [The inflection trails up into an almost question.]

[fatedchaos]

[Vanessa glances up, putting her hand to her brow to cover her eyes.] Yeah, it's nice. Like, perfect hanging out weather.

[sophos]

[talking about weather ok that is easy.] The climate seems to be pretty temperate like this overall. Even in the winter months, it never got all that cold.

[fatedchaos]

Really? That'll be great. It doesn't really get all that cold in Los Angeles, either. I mean, sometimes it does. It depends on the winds. [Weather is so nice and easy to talk about.] It makes it great for going to the beach year round.

[sophos]

The weather at Camp Half-Blood is mostly controlled and warm year round, but New York itself definitely isn't.

[fatedchaos]

They control the weather at camp? But where's the fun in all of that?

[sophos]

They alternate it sometimes. But it makes training and stuff a lot easier when you don't have to traipse through snow to swing a sword at someone.

[fatedchaos]

See, that's not exactly normal. You can't control the weather in the real world. What if you're trapped in the snow and have no choice to fight?

[sophos]

I've done that. [In the real world in the snow.] It's not like it doesn't snow, we're just - generally prepared and not usually surprised by the weather. Scheduled snow days and all that.

[fatedchaos]

[Vanessa makes a face and shakes her head.] I'm both sort of jealous and just totally unsure of that. We don't get snow in L.A.

[sophos]

[She grins a little.] It never snowed when I lived in San Francisco either, and Virginia was pretty temperate. But I've spent most of my life in New York, so I'm pretty used to snow either way.

[fatedchaos]

That snow day we had here was pretty much the first time I have ever experienced snow. [:'D she's never even left Los Angeles before.]

[sophos]

And how'd that go for you?

[fatedchaos]

[A beat.] I shared acorns with Iorveth because he refuses to buy food in the city.

[Yup. Basically how that went.]

[sophos]

Acorns? [???] Did you go in the snow at all?

[fatedchaos]

Well, he was digging in the snow for them. [She tries to not smile.] Kind of like a squirrel.

[sophos]

[She laughs, almost a snort.] Trust me, there's a lot more fun things you can do in the snow than dig for acorns.

[fatedchaos]

Iorveth is weird. I don't think he knows what fun is. [She shrugs, a slight smirk on her face.] I hit him with a snowball after that.

[sophos]

Is it too much to hope it resulted in an actual snowball fight?

[fatedchaos]

Way too much. He's so grumpy, even the snow didn't work well on him. Getting the acorns was like... his version of snowball fights.

[sophos]

I guess - as long as he enjoyed himself...?

[fatedchaos]

Who knows with the elf, really. [Ooh look, a store. And Vanessa will just casually reach out and tug Annabeth along by her wrist.] Come on. Time to teach you more about being your normal, everyday girl.
