Trying not to start a party. (Lilith)

Trying not to start a party

Ah, food.  Everyone needed to eat at some point of the day.  Even if Bernard hadn't done much but tend to the vegetables and fruits and harvest them--and making wine and other fruit juices, he still became hungry during the afternoon.  Well, everyone needed lunch, didn't they? Or, at least most humans did as Bernard knew them.

Therefore, Bernard took a break from working in the fields.  That sounded like he had been toiling away under the hot sun, but honestly, Bernie loved what he was doing.  As a son of Dionysus, he automatically loved plants and greens grown from the ground.  Not to mention, his job was made easier because he could manipulate plants.

He made his way to the Food Court, and it was really hard not to start a party at the sight of so many food and drinks.  Bernard was one of the most notorious party-starters on Concordia, and he was always there to pass around the drinks--especially authentic wine with the ingredients harvested by him and his fellow farmers.  But, of course, the Concordia authorities would not appreciate him starting a fiasco in the Food Court.  It was a public pace and he had to remain peaceful and abide by the rules.  He was here mainly to mind his own business and eat to fill his stomach, not to create a party.  It was sad, but he was sane enough to go along with the flow.  Parties could be started later at more opportune times in appropriate places.

Anyway, after grabbing three slices of pizza and a cup of grape juice, and sacrificing one slice into the hearth for his father, he walked over to a table and sat down on it.  He placed his plate and cup of juice down on the surface of the table.  Bernie rubbed his hands together, eager to chow down on the delicious food after a morning of hard (but fun) work.

TRYING NOT TO START A PARTY

(Private RP)
It was a normal day at camp. Lilith had managed to upset a daughter of Aphrodite, which was a bonus considering those campers were just lay abouts. Plus she had just gotten back from the Underworld, after having a rather huge telling off from Hades himself. She never really listened to her father, she was just petting her favourite hellhound during the entire scolding session. Ever since her mother was killed, Lilith had been spending more time in the Underworld, keeping Persephone company. However, Lilith had to keep coming back to Corcordia, so Zeus didn’t get suspicious.

Entering the cafeteria, she noticed one of Dionysus’ sons and rolled her eyes. “I’m surprised you don’t get fat, the amount of junk you eat.” Lilith said, sitting on one of the tables, and crossing her legs. She chuckled to herself, smiling towards Bernard. “Well we can’t all have an awesome father.” she smirked, grabbing an apple, and biting into it, and throwing some fruit towards the party lover. More kids started coming in, and the daughters of Aphrodite glared at her, and she waved mockingly at them. “I dunno about you, but the nymphs seem full of themselves today. More than usual.” Lilith sighed, getting up and plonking herself down next to Bernard.

Trying not to start a party

Bernard had wolfed down half of his first slice of pizza when he heard a female voice speaking to him.  He glanced upward, still chewing.  His eyes landed on a blonde-haired girl who he recognized as Lilith Silvester, a daughter of Hades and part of the Garrison, if he was correct.  He knew her sister, Melanie, who was also part of the Garrison. 

She was sitting with her legs crossed on the table.  He swallowed and grinned at her.  "It's no surprise, Lil, because I do exercise regularly," he countered.  "That  balances out eating 'junk' and keeping fit for me."  Bernie wasn't a fan of exercising.  He would much rather be partying than exhausting himself over physical exercise.  Still, he did want to keep fit to look like a hunk at the parties and attract the eyes of those picky girls.  And he was about to say just as much. "Besides, I gotta look muscular in order to actually look like a party host, no?"

He took another bite out of his pizza and arched an eyebrow at her when she said that not everyone could have an awesome dad.  He pretended to look quizzical, but the truth was he figured that Hades was probably the creepiest dad there could ever be.  Bernie's dad was a bit of a grump, and a grouch too, but he was still a caring father at the end of the day.  Bernie didn't know what to think about the evil king of the underworld, though.  Did he love his children, or just take advantage of him to do his bidding? Sure, he paid enough attention to claim them and maybe sometimes communicate, but it was hard to imagine Hades embracing his children and telling them that it was okay to make mistakes, or giving them advice for anything that was troubling them on the inside.  He imagined the god sitting on a thrown, glancing down contemptuously at his spawn and rebuking them as if they would never be good enough for him.

"So why exactly is your own pop not awesome to you?" he asked, curious about what she wasn't so sunny about him with.  His eyes widened in surprise slightly when she threw the fruit at him, but he caught it in his hand anyway.  Well, that had been pretty random, but he liked fruit so all was good.  Anyway, she could be disliking Hades for other reasons other than those that Bernie had in mind.  "I guess you can say my dad is pretty awesome.  Most of us know that he can be kinda rude, but for someone who looks like a sluggard, he's the god of all that's epic!" Bernard reached for his cup of and drank from it before adding, "Well, in other words, partying."

He followed her gaze when she looked at a group of daughters of Aphrodite who entered the Food Court.  They were glaring in Lilith's direction, but he smiled in amusement when she waved at them back.  He didn't know what they had against Lilith, but Lil probably annoyed them somehow.  The daughters of Aphrodite were hot but the constant victims of pranking and mockery for their shallowness.  Either way, Bernard wriggled his eyebrows at them in greeting, and they brightened up and batted their eyelashes at him.

He glanced at Lilith when she sat down next to him.  "Oh? But aren't they 'always full of themselves' everyday?" he remarked.  "What makes today different for them in your view?" Bernie had no problem with them--in fact, he was rather popular with the ladies, but he understood the things that others didn't like about the daughters of Aphrodite.  He wondered what made them so different this day if they were always controversial to people on all other days as well.

Glancing back at the Aphrodite girls, he saw that they were frowning at sight of him being friendly with Lilith.  Smiling at them, he sent them a look that silently communicated that they should stop by his place later and he'd hang out with them--the Aphrodite girls were good at reading that without the need for words.  That managed to make them giggle, blow him kisses, and walk away satisfied. 

He looked at Lilith again and chuckled.  "Hey, look, I got them to go away for you! I deserve some thanks."

TRYING NOT TO START A PARTY

(Private RP)
Lilith looked at Bernard. “I’m beginning to question your taste in women.” she said, but an Aphrodite girl came back and walked straight up to Lilith. “I don’t care if you’re a daughter of The Big Three, you cheated in Pegasi training.” the girl said. Lilith just laugh. Yeah she a natural bond with the flying horses, so what. It seemed to annoy the daughters of Aphrodite soooo much. “Do I look like I care?” Lilith asked. Then a bony hand was placed on the girl’s shoulder. She turned pale, and looked over her shoulder and screamed, seeing the corpse of her dead grandfather. Lilith burst out laughing, holding her stomach. “Oh, its great having power of the dead.” she snorted as she laughed.

After calming down, but still finding the incident amusing, Lilith wanted to fill the whole Aphrodite cabin with living corpses. She smirked at the sick plot, but thought better of it. It might have her kicked out of camp. It would be worth it though. “What do you see in those hookers anyway?” Lilith asked Bernard, as she cracked open a diet coke. She took a swig of the drink, then placed the can on the table. There were plenty of women from other cabins that were just as good. Oh wait, men were only interested in looks. “Forget I asked that. Men only want looks, not personality.” she said. “Oh, and er your last party was not your best.” she smiled, and got up and began to walk away.

Trying not to start a party

She sort of didn't answer his question, but that was alright with Bernie.  He could understand if talking about her father's shortcomings was a personal thing for her.  Dwelling upon what you didn't like about your parents could easily make you upset, no? But then again, Bernie just laughed at his father's less desirable traits.  But then again, Dionysus had never really done anything wrong to him.  At least, not anything severe enough for him to resent him aside from being a god and not being there for him when he was younger, plus leaving his mother pregnant.  His mother didn't seem to mind anymore and was already remarried, and Bernie was easygoing and understanding.  It was a god's typical way of doing things, even if it was bizarre to mortals. 

He was in the middle of eating a slice of his pizza when she questioned his taste in women.  "What?" he said, a little confused.  But then he got a glimpse of the Aphrodite girls again and understood what she meant.  She probably wasn't pleased that he was into those girls, but he was just being playful with them.  Nothing serious, but Bernie wasn't adverse to a nice fling... "Oh, I gotcha.  Well, what can I say? I like all women!" He winked at her.  "Including you, too, don't forget that."

Bernie continued to eat and watched as Lilith and the Aphrodite girl got into a snarky conversation.  The girl accused Lilith of cheating in Pegasi riding, although Lil didn't seem to care.  Bernie didn't know if the Aphrodite girl was lying or telling the truth, but either way Lil seemed more happy to just piss the girl off.  He watched with amusement, knowing that it was just a petty argument and it wasn't anything serious.  Besides, Lilith was a tough girl.  She seemed to be handling it all on her own.

However, at the sight of the corpse, Bernie's eyes widened and he looked horrified.  He had been drinking from his juice but he spit all of it out in shock.  "Mother of Dionysus!" he screamed.  "EEEEEWWW! That's just gross! Did you take that thing out of a horror movie or what? Yuck!"

Well, daughter of Hades.  She probably thought it was cool.  He shook his hand.  "Darn it, Lil, I'm not sure if I can eat anymore.  That wast just...I can't even...how can you even look at that without wanting to barf? That's a freaking dead body!"

At least it went away somehow.  He relaxed a little, even if he still couldn't get the horrid image from his mind.  But anyway, he was able to focus less on that when she asked him what he saw in those "hookers".  "I just a pretty face, really.  Might find a person who likes to party.  But I don't get emotionally attached," he said truthfully.  "Well, that's not always--" He was about to say that it wasn't always the case that men were more into looks than personality, but he got cut off when she said that his party wasn't his best.  "What? Liar!" he said playfully, because Bernie rarely ever got angry.  "It was awesome! And Hey, where are you going? Come back! We're not done here yet!" He had enjoyed her company, as he enjoyed the company of most people.  He didn't want her to leave yet.
