Hey, I might have been dead for a year and a half now, but things don't change that often. People will be willing to talk to you. Even the scariest, meanest kids have friends. We're all demigods, we have to stick together. It's dumb but it's what we do.

Heh, I get that. But you really need these activities. They help with your skills. Survival skills. Even if they're a bit pointless.

You weren't told much about Archie- just that upon coming to camp they IMMEADIATELY attempted to escape. They're a constant flight risk, an orphan, and prone to trouble.

So, they assigned someone to make sure they stay out of trouble.

That just so happened to be you, unfortunately.

You walk into the Big House, and see a short-ish, brown haired, heavy eyebagged kid- covered in scars and bruises.

They sit across the table from Mr. D- who is restraining him with grape vines. They see you and grumble a complaint... but they do leave with you, crossing their arms and glaring the whole time.

They're completely silent- following you to the required camp activities.

Do you start the conversation?

all interaction appreciated!

[lukebackbitercastellan]

Acquaintances then. But that is fair. I did betray the entire camp when I was labeled as the unofficial official big brother figure.

I understand. So, why are you avoiding the activities? It isn't required to talk to anyone except for your instructors.

Yeah, yeah.

Uh, only when they're running on adrenaline!!!!!!!!!!!

.... yeah, no, we really are related.

[lukebackbitercastellan]

Yeah.

Go to cabin 11. They're used to taking in people who don't belong there. Hey, at least you've got me. The war criminal. I'm sorry, that's a terrible consolation.

.. Because you need to be responsible? How can you be any good in the real world if you give into temptations too easily.

Also, THEY'RE LITERALLY BLEEDING! Of course people are gonna point that out before even beginning to THINK of the idea of even asking you it it was "fun."

[lukebackbitercastellan]

No, I really can't. What you've done is probably much better than what I have.

Ah... well if it's any consolation, my mom went insane from the oracle, then Hermes never cared for me either, and then now im here with what my mom was cursed with. Memories of my life. The only difference is, I'm not insane.

... she's probably still waiting for me to come home. She still thinks I'm a toddler. That's why I ran away.

But yeah, I get it, it can be confusing. Ah... that sounds awful. But hey, just because you don't fit in your cabin, doesn't mean you can't find family in other cabins. It'll work out.

But don't run away... or try to revolt. Trust me, it doesn't end well, even if you survive.

You wanna talk more about it though? I've been told that I'm a good listener.

[Luke raises his hands in surrender. It accentuates the gash in his arm.]

Yeah- yep. I should have known better to be honest.

Mhm, I'm sure. It's not like I can blackmail, kill, or revolt again. But I can and WILL get very very angry if the topic becomes about the gods, so be warned.

Yeah, well, it's how it worked until I came along. I had to take care of everyone. I was the one who had to comfort all of the crying kids who thought that they weren't good enough to be claimed by their godly parent. Or... the other multitude of things that happened.

Hey, hey, none of that. I'm not going to hurt you. Despite all of this being a punishment, I don't necessarily call myself a malevolent ghost.

I'm here to help... i-

You don't think you just gave yourself a concussion did you?

[lukebackbitercastellan]

Hah, trust me, you do NOT want that.

I'm not showing you my memories again, but basically. Imagine a single cabin with more than 50 campers inside. Most kids don't even sleep on beds. You don't know who your godly parent is, so you feel like you're some sort of unwanted disappointment child who isn't worthy to be claimed, and you're ALSO stuck with your siblings who rub their luck in your face. The only difference is that you never know who is your sibling and who isn't. I know it sucks, not fitting in. But trust me, you REALLY didn't want to be stuck in the Hermes cabin. At least... when I was counsellor.

I'm aware. This [Luke points to himself] is my punishment. To wander around as a ghost, reliving my memories again and again, trying to prevent kids from experiencing or doing what I did or worse.

hey, hey, hey, none of that.

No. But those monsters that I teamed up with? Yeah. They'll definitely try to come after you. Kellie is probably alive as we speak. I don't know about the other monsters like Agrius and Orius.

Luke Castellan, former head councellor of cabin 11, Traitor and very technically, Hero of Olympus, but I prefer to ignore the title of hero.

I am the reason why even until now, this camp hasn't recovered it's numbers. Then again, I am also the reason why you aren't stuck in cabin 11.

My life. [He says, bitterly,]

I didn't show you everything. I don't want you to go insane like my mom did. She was all of that when I was just a baby.

It's okay. It's not like I'd do all of that murder, blackmail, indoctrination stuff again.

Are you sure you want to leave this place when all of that awaits you out there?

[Luke sighs, as if not wanting to do what he's about to do.]

[Luke steps in front of Archie, making them step through Luke giving them a bunch of visions. The first one, Thalia sacrificing her life turning into a tree and creating camp's barriers. The second him getting the scar on his face from his failed quest to steal the golden apples. The third one, him getting contacted in his dreams by Kronos. The fourth one begging Thalia to join his side even though he was so sure she would. There are probably like 7 more scenes but they all pass by in a blur, they don't seem chronological either. Scattered and scrambled just as this ghost seems to be]

Do they mean anything to you now?

I'm dead. Betrayed this camp about... 4 years ago? The short explanation is I joined Kronos and almost overthrew the Olympians a few months to a year ago. Now, my punishment that isn't the fields of Punishment is to haunt camp and make sure nobody betrays the gods like I did...

O-oh. Hi Silena.

(New camper or old, it doesn't matter)

[It was currently a normal day. Camp smelled like strawberries, people went canoeing, chased each other around with weapons. They did whatever they could to pass the time. But out of the corner of your eye, you saw something. A ghost? It was definitely some sort of spirit, that's for sure. A sort of ghostly, sickly, translucent green color.]

[The ghost was of a boy, around college age, he had a pretty gnarly scar on one side of his face, despite his ghostly appearance being green, his eyes were a startling blue, shattered almost. He was wearing battle armor, as if he was fighting when he died. The only thing more striking about him other than his facial features, was a bleeding stab wound on his lower arm close to the armpit region. He was muttering something]

No.. No, Thalia please! Don't make me- don't make him destroy you.

BRICK BY BRICK! THAT WAS MY PROMISE. TEAR IT DOWN BRICK BY BRICK!

Join, me Annabeth! You could build temples that to the lords of the next age!

Please- no time, he'll take control, only me, only i know where-

Don't let it happen again.

The gods were NEVER on our side so I think it's time we watch them fall. Soon, there will be no gods at all!
