Yay! I'm gonna start with two charries, but if too many charries come I'll drop one of them out.

Ok, I can't wait fo r this RP to start, and I've already some up with a beginning to my posts, so I'm just going to start now if that's ok. [WARNING: THE FOLLOWING POST CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT READ MARK OF ATHENA. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK]

Rachelle~

I followed my parents to our Aunt and Uncle's house. I was in my car, a 2006 Toyota Highlander. My dad seemed to have the need to turn around and check me every five seconds. I gave him a thumbs up, then put my hand back on the wheel and kept driving. I guess I can see his worry. I'm also driving my little sister, Clara, to the reunion. She was in the backseat right now. "Hey, you ok, Clara? We're almost there," I asked. No response. She was probably reading. As I stopped at a red light, I turned around to see what she was doing. Sure enough, The Mark of Athena was in her lap, tears streaming down Clara'a face as she read. "You ok?" I asked. Clara still didn't say anything. The light was green, so I had to keep driving. After a few moments, Clara spoke up. "Percy and Annabeth just fell into Tartarus," she sniffed. "I know I've read it 100 times, but it still makes me cry." "Well," I said, trying to lighten the mood, "We're almost at Aunt Lucy and Uncle Charlie's house! When we get there you probably won't have time to read. Clara looked at me, apparently horrified. "There is always time to read," she declared. "Whether it's in the car, or at 12 am, there is ALWAYS time to read." "Well, you're going to have to stop reading just for the moment, because we have arrived," I said while gesturing grandly at Aunt Lucy and Uncle Charlie's mansion.

Clara~ (I'm going to start this post with them being at thier house.)

I walked in the grand oak double doors of Aunt Lucy's house. it was beautiful, with paintings, plush sofas, and food everywhere. There is a table near me with some yummy-looking rolls on them. I snag a few and put them in my pocket. I might need them for later, they might run out of food, especially with all the boys that might be coming. I notice Rachelle give me curious look. I walk over to her and ask, "Where is our room?" "I think it's upstairs. I'll come with you to find it," she replies. We run up the staircase, me going a little bit slower, as I was carrying my pillow and my duffel bag, which was, of course, filled with books. Our bedroom has one king-size bed and a bunch of fuzzy sleepings bags on the floor. I pick the fuzziest, puffiest sleeping bag and throw my pillow on it. "Dibs on this one!" I shout. Rachelle laughs, then puts her pillow on the one right next to mine. "Ok, now where's the bathroom?" I ask. "I can't find anything in this huge house!" Rachelle points to a hallway near the bedroom. "I think it might be down there. Tell me if you find it!" I walk out of the room and eventually find the door to the bathroom. After digging around in the cabinet under the sink for a while, I find a roll of paper towels. I tear off a big chunk and wrap my rolls in it. Carrying my rolls back to my room, I hear the doors opening and the chatter of voices. "Time to lock myself up and read," I grumble as I close the door and pick up The Mark of Athena.

Can mine be a second cousin that they don't see that often or something? 

Name: Summer Parker

Age: 11

Parents Names: Elizabeth and Michael Parker

Siblings: Yes, three younger sisters. (Grace, Hazel, and Emerson)

Appearance: Wavy dark brown hair that hits the middle of her back, blue eyes, likes to wear shirts of just about any color, but her favorites are blue and green. She doesn't like ruffle-y clothes, and usually wears jeans or sweatpants.

Personality: She is a kind, funny girl, and can make almost anyone laugh. She is sometimes shy, but not around her family. She is somewhat tomboyish, and loves to play with her cousins, who she doesn't see very often. (She lives in a different state)

Other: Allergic to dairy, loves to ski, play baseball, and play hockey, she's a very good artist.

It's possible that I'll make a charrie for one of her younger sisters later. 

Leafmist, hold off! Not everyone who joined has made charries yet! Let's say your two charries arrived first before everyone else. You need to WAIT for everybody, okay? We'll continue when everyone has clarified their spot and made charries!!!!!!

I'm here!

Name: Rachel Amanson

Age: 13

Parents: Jennifer Amanson, and Mike Amanson

Siblings: Yes, one

Appearance: Long golden-brown hair, brown eyes, slightly tanned skin, about the size of a twelve year old

Yay! I can't wait for this to start!

Name: Hazel Smit

Age (4-16): 10

Parents' names: Lilly and Sam Smit

Siblings, yes or no: no

Appearance: She has chin length brown hair, bangs, and light green eyes. She's short for her age, and often underestimated. She often wears skirts and polo shirts.

Personality: Hazel is EXTREMELY shy. She barely talks until you get to know her, and when you do, she's still really quiet. She doesn't like getting into trouble, but she'll follow any of her older cousin's lead, even if it hurts her. She often gets picked on, and many of her cousins play pranks on her. Also, some find her creepy, and because of that, misstreat her.

Extras: (i.e. Allergic to gluten, does ballet, etc.) Writes in a diary, and is super protective of it. (Maybe at some point, someone can steel it?)

Im sorry Abigail!! Maybe they can just get there early and just kinda sit around until everyone else gets there. Im sorry, i just couldn't wait for this to start. Its such a cool idea!!=D

No, scratch that. Pretend that post doesnt exist. Ill start for real when it's actually time. I was just bored and had some ideas for my post. I'm so sorry!=D

Okay, time to sort out the exact family relationships. 

Let's say that Jack, Brian, and Mike Amanson are all brothers.

Summer's mom, Elizabeth, will be half-sister to Miles Harmon, but changed her name after she was married. We can also have Miles be Rachel's (Theo and Amariah's mom) brother. Hazel's mom, Lilly, can be... Jennifer Amanson's sister. As for Uncle Charlie and Aunt Lucy... Lucy can be Sam Smit's sister. Yay! Did it, if that's OK with everybody. 

Now we can really start! I'll begin. Leafmist, I think it would be more interesting if Clara and Rachelle arrived a bit earlier before the rest. Just to add... variety. And yes, we'll add woods. Maybe the kids can get lost there...! Finally, I am changing Oliver's age to eight. It might be a bit boring writing from the perspective of a six year old. 

-----------------------

Harper~

Oliver bounces up and down in his carseat. "Lalala, we're almost there!" He sings. "I can't wait! Mommy, how big is the house? There's a pool, right? Why aren't there any cousins my age?"

I'm excited, too, but I'm not going insane like Ollie is. I mean, I haven't seen all my cousins in one place since... ever! I roll down the car window and shiver as the cold blast of wind slaps me across the face. I tighten my fleece jacked around my arms. It may be summer, but it's only June. There's still plenty more vacation to go before it gets hot. 

"Hey, when's everybody else coming?" I call to dad, who is driving.

"Let me check..." Mom says, reaching for her phone. Oliver shuts up, finally. I guess he wants to know just as much as I do.  

"Rachelle and Clara have been there since Thursday." Mom reports, scrolling down the calendar.  "Amariah and Theo have probably just arrived right now. Summer, Grace and Emerson are coming tommorow—"

"Who're they?" I ask. I can't recall a Summer, a Grace, or an Em-whatever. Rachelle and Clara have come over for Thanksgiving before, and I vaguely recall meeting Amariah when she was just born, but I didn't know about those cousins.

"Their mom is Clara's dad's half-sister. We really don't know them that well." Mom frowns, then continues reading off. "Rachel and Leila are arriving a bit after Summer, and Hazel comes the day after that."

I remember Leila and Hazel. They're the only cousins that are exactly my age. 

"Dad, how much looonger?" Ollie whines.

"Er... forty five minutes."

Forty five minutes until mega-fun! I can't wait.

Oliver~ 

"S'not fair!" I moan dramatically.

"What's not fair?" Harper asks, turning toward me. She looks a bit annoyed.

"There are hardly any BOY cousins and I'm tied for youngest with a GIRL!"

Harper rolls her eyes. "It'll still be fun. I'll play with you."  she assures me, before swinging around again to look out the window. 

The ride from there is boring. I draw in my coloring book, and Harper plays on her phone, which is new. She won't let me touch it. She thinks I'm going to get dirt and muck and gross stuff on it. That's a lie. I'm clean. Mostly. After what seems like forever, we pull up in front of the biggest house I've ever seen. 

"WOW!" I shout, unbuckling my seatbelt and flinging myself out of the car. Harper jumps out right behind me. We dash across the cobbled walk, passing clumps of thick orange flowers. Harper skids to as stop right in front of the giant oak doors. "You knock." I say. She reaches up and hits twice with her knuckles. I someone yells from inside: 

"They're here, Clara! Get your nose out of that book!" 

The door opens and standing there are Uncle Charlie, Aunt Lucy, a few other adults, Rochelle, and Clara, who has a Percy Jackson novel tucked under her arm. 

"Charlie! Lucy! Miles! Anna!" Our parents come up the walk, carrying suitcases and calling with glee. The adults begin to chatter about things that are really boring. I cross the threshold into the house. 

"This is cool!" Harper says, looking around. The entry room is beautiful, with a crystal chandelier hanging from the celing and two polished wood staircases snaking from the sides. The tile floor gleams like new, and shoes are set in neat rows on a small shelf. 

"Hi!" The taller cousin—Rachelle—says cheerfully. I look up at her. She's tall.  "D'you want to see your room?"

"Great!" Harper says, kicking off her gold sandals. "Let's go!"

"We'll give you the tour, also." Clara says softly. "There's a lot to see." The girls start running down the hall. 

"Wait for me! Wait for me!" I yell, peeling off my velcro sneakers.

Harper pauses just a second. "Let's go now!" And we dash off to begin seeing the sights.

---------

Sorry that was long. I just wanted to get the arriving-and-stuff done with for Ollie and Harper.
