Your friend said they would meet you at the bus stop. They were running late, per usual. But it’s no big deal. You brought your sketchbook just for this reason.
You sat down on a bench and opened to a blank page. The question is, what to draw? You would people-watch and draw someone interesting, usually, but on a foggy morning, the streets were bare. You eventually decided on doodling your CB appearance. Why not? It had been a while.
Soon enough, your friend came along and sat next to you. You both greeted the other, casually chatted, until there was a pause.
“Why did you ask me to come here?” you ask eventually.
They shifted uncomfortably. “Don’t tell anyone,” they said, unzipping their red hoodie. A secret pocket. They reach into it and pull out a yellowing letter. “Read this.”
You take the letter, and open it with a satisfying crinkle of the paper. It read;
Dearest demigod,
Congratulations! You are one of the few demigods powerful enough to be detected from Camp Half-Blood on Long Island! How, you ask? Well, the Hephaestus cabin has been quite busy lately.
But this is beside the point.
You are invited to Camp Half-Blood, the training ground for Greek demigods such as yourself! Your satyr, the one who gave you this letter, will accompany you on the bus to camp. Please fill out and submit the form below by January 7th, 2022.
We hope to see you soon!

You look down on the page. There was the form.
You look up at your friend - your satyr - and smile. “Got a pen?”
They smile back. “With or without a blade?”

Hello! It is I, the author, to let you know of a few things before we begin.
This is my first ski lodge, so I’m quite inexperienced with this. I'm sorry if I make any mistakes! :)
This takes place at no set time - sort of a combination of everything - and therefore all characters will be there, AKA; Meg, Leo, Nico, Percy, Annabeth, Jason, ETC. Characters dead after HOO will be alive. Apollo is not mortal at this point.
AEs are allowed, but I’m afraid CAPTCHAs and CAPTCHAEs are not. CBers and AEs that come together may be sorted into different cabins.
There are 18 godly parents available - all the cabins except Artemis and Hera, for obvious reasons. The Pact of The Big Three is nonexistent at this point.
12 CBers will be accepted, along with 3 companions or less each.
I cannot guarantee you will be claimed. You may stay in the Hermes cabin for all of the story, we never know. If you are unclaimed by the time you… leave us… you may ask for your godly parent revealed.
I will include some of my own OCs to populate cabins that aren’t expanded on much. There may be one or two in the Hermes cabin with you at the beginning.
Good luck, young demigods!

Are you one to break the wall known as The Fourth?: Yep, ya' better believe it. *smirks at 'camera'*

Preferred demigod death: Disappearing into a dark and mysterious space and just never coming out. Like maybe everyone has to slog though a black river where you have to survive while fighting your worst fears or memories or whatever, and yea. They just sorta notice she isn't with them anymore.

Indoor or Outdoor kid: Depends; let's say outdoors

Hello, demigods! I am currently working on the first part of this Ski Lodge, though I am juggling many other things at the moment, so it may take a bit longer than usual. We have 13 participants, if I counted correctly, including AEs.
We hope to see you soon!

I'm so sorry, but I believe it is not. My creativity has been working on other things currently, and I have many other things I'm doing. If anyone would like, they can reboot it. I might do it myself at some point if no one else does. Again, I'm sorry to everyone who joined this ski lodge.
