"Everyone mistook me for being Hades' kid for a while," Cira said, not towards anyone in particular, "Apparently a grunge aesthetic and wearing black are not an Apollo thing."

Riley looked at Cira. "Just cos you're a kid of Apollo doesn't mean you have to be all bright and sunny and bubbly…"
"Cira your a child of Apollo?" Wendi looked at her, "Sorry, you just never introduced your heritage earlier. I mean Riley guessed it but…"
"It was just cos of the archery…" Riley mumbled.

"Right you are," Cira said with a laugh, "But my siblings couldn't agree less. They joke that I'm adopted."
Tessa nodded silently. "Yeah it does suck………..but I somehow manage…………."
"I wouldn't say that, Apollo's the god of archery right?"
"Yeah…" Riley agreed. "My siblings don't really joke. They just hate me."
"Why?" Wendi asked Riley.

"Yeah, I picked up some of Apollo's skills. I just… look and act different. I also had to work a lot harder to get good at archery, while everyone else seems to be a natural," Cira explained.
"Well, maybe you have you own special ability," Wendi tried to console Cira. Wendi let out a brilliant smile.

"I can play the electric guitar. That's close enough. Won't kill monsters or save lives, but it sure is fun," Cira said. She had, at this point, accepted that she was hilariously different from her brothers and sisters.
"Why?" Wendi asked Riley.
"It's not really in their nature to be accpeting…" Riley muttered. "And I'm a disgrace, apparently."
"That's really cool," Wendi said to Cira, Wendi looked down, "I wish I could do something cool like that."
Tessa smiled. "Well, it seems like all of us are pretty accepting. Maybe we should stick together, face our siblings as a collective. It might be a little easier that way." Tessa suggested.

"I could teach you, if you wanted," Cira offered to Wendi.
"Really?" Wendi looked up at her, "And Tess that sounds like a great idea, but uh I only have one sibling."

"I've got a cabin full," Cira said, "I like them enough, but it's loud and I'm certainly my own very distinct person."
"Honestly same," Wendi nodded, "the only sibling I have seems to have the same aesthetic thing you have going on Cira."
//what’s going on
(Wendi, Riley, Cira, and Tess arr all hiding and talking about cabin stuff.)
Tessa smiled. "Well, it seems like all of us are pretty accepting. Maybe we should stick together, face our siblings as a collective. It might be a little easier that way." Tessa suggested.
"That sounds good… but…" Riley paused. "I don't really think it would make much of a difference to my cabin mates. "
"Not that I don't want to be friends with you guys or anything…" she added hurriedly. "I just don't know how well that would work."
//so should Ava just do the thing where she pops up out of nowhere
\ ok! \
“Unfortunate,” Ava said, appearing again. “I swear I wasn’t eavesdropping, I just showed up.”
Oliver had just been watching the girls talk. "I'm all for rallying against my siblings," he said finally, "Mostly because they hate me,"

"We should form our own cabin, then," Cira joked.
"What'll we call it?" Oliver questioned, jumping in on the joke. "Cabin 21, the home for rejected demigods?"
group
"Something along those lines," Cira replied, "I was thinking more like the misfits cabin or something."
"The rejected misfits!" Oliver joked, dragging his hand through the air like they do in the movies when someone's getting someone else to picture something.
