[Autumn Copenhaver]

(Will make pretty later?)

Autumn needed a break from the camp and shine. Autumn had gotten up earlier this morning and got dressed quickly. She programmed shine to wake up at a certain time every morning and autumn had woken up a good hour and half before the mechanical dog. So she got dressed quickly and dashed out of the forge. She didn't bring a weapon with her because she was gonna go out into the mortal world. Weapons were not to common in this world. It was different from her world that she knew of. Autumn didn't have a car but she did have a long board. She didn't know where she wanted to go but soon she found herself at a music store.

She smiled widely and picked up her board. Then autumn started to walk inside and the cold air hit her making her gasp. In camp they did not have ac. It was a luxury they could not afford just yet. Autumn was trying to figure out a way to make an AC unit for the camp, but without electricity it was hard. Autumn listened to the song on the speaker and started to move her head up and down at the same time as the beat. She didn't know the song but it still caught her attention. The lyrics went "underneath the moon light. Your more than a friend. I knew it from the first sight."

She started to look up and down the rows of bands she didn't know. Autumn had to play cds from a boombox because of the no Wi-Fi rule. Autumn knew not many people listened to that rule but she was one of them. Autumn had to borrow money from people in order to buy batteries for the boombox. Some guy kept staring at autumn and it was making her a little uncomfortable. She wished she had brought shine with her now, but shine wasn't able to come into stores. She hadn't gotten a fake harness that said service dog on it yet. She needed to do that but how would it fit on a dog which was made of metal. Even though the mist made the dog look like a normal puppy. Autumn just kept her eyes on the cds below her on a table, instead of the male who wouldn't take his eyes off of her.

I press the button and  it bursts into life This time nothing will escape my sight Berwald had heard that there was a joint camp here and well, he had finally made his way into the southern state. It was a tad unnerving being around so many radical Americans who still believed in the horrible thing that was the confederacy but he disregarded that as he continued on his way. He was hoping that maybe some miracle he'll find that Mattie did survive the war and the he would be here. He felt bad about leaving but what had occured between him and Mathias, well, it was best left in the past. He needed to learn that with one came the other, it was just hard for him. He loved the childish nature of his fellow Dane, he found it incredibly adorable and just made him want to hug him close. Oh well, maybe he'll get lucky. He grabbed a coffee, using the little bit of change he had and made his way past a music store. It was hiring, would be worth a shot. He had spent the time after the war bunkered down in Utah working in an Apple store repairing computers, saving up to eventually make his way back to finding Mattie. He made his way into the store and looked around for some employee. There was a girl there, she was looking through CD's, maybe she worked here? He didn't notice that he was staring though, he tended to do that, he would be deep in thought and just sort of stare off, yet he brought himself to reality and made his way over to the girl.  "Excuse me, do you work here? I saw the Help Wanted sign on the door and I'm new in town." The Dane said with his thick accent showing. That was something he had different from Mattie, while he hid his thick accent Berwald did no such thing. True, it made him hard to understand at times but it was his heritage, he wasn't just going to ignore it. He understood why Mattie might though, he didn't exactly leave on good terms with his mother, he still wish there was more he could have done or they could have been smarter about it all, but at least he was able to bring Mattie to America, even if it did ultimately send them both into the legion life.  Autumn Copenhaver || 419 words || Hope you Don't mind my stealing

Autumn didn't know the male had came over to her until he spoke. She looked up at him and frowned a little. She didn't work here even if she really wanted to. She worked in an armory at the camp. The only form of money she had was drachamas. Unless she got a hold of a Hermes or Mercury kid to give her mortal money. She couldn't even buy a CD that she was holding. She didn't know the band but she wanted to try some new music. The album cover had a blonde girl on it with a male who looked like her. She sighed setting the CD down. "I wish I did. I work in an arm-" autumn cut herself off and held onto her skateboard.

She almost told this stranger she worked at an armory. What's a mortal world she can use.... Factory! "I mean a factory. I build things." She smiled when she added the last part. She loved building things, it filled her with happiness. If she ever got captured to make weapons for a camp, she would at least be happy while making weapons. Even if they beat her and tortured her, at least she would have the forge. She wouldn't have shine to protect her or help her but she would still have the forge. Looking at the male next to her she didn't know who he was. He didn't look familiar or anything like that, though he did have similar features to autumn. She hadn't meet any other siblings of hers unless they were from camp half blood. There were no Roman siblings at the joint camp. At least if there was they didn't make their way to the forge.

"I come here like anyone else. To get music, or to look if your broke." Autumn chuckled nervously. She didn't want to give away to much information to a male she just meet. For some reason she thought he was a demititan. But looking at him up close he looks like a normal demigod. He could be a mortal for all she really knew but he had that aura like a demigod. "I'm autumn. D-" autumn really needed more interaction with mortals. She was so used to telling people her father was Hephaestus after she told them her name.

I press the button and  it bursts into life This time nothing will escape my sight Had he heard right? Did she just say that she had worked in an arm? Maybe it was some new English slang that he had not yet learned. His expression showed his obvious confusion at her words before she fixed herself. How would could mistake arm and factor was beyond him. "I see, that must have been some very monotomous work. A music store would be a lot more different with each day." Ber said in his usual formal fashion. He wasn't big on socializing and since this girl didn't work here he saw no reason as to why he needed to keep her company.  Ber nodded in argreement. "I'm broke, which is why I came in here. I'm looking for work so that I can continue my search." Ber said, not sure why he needed to continue talking to her. She seemed like an innocent girl and he had no reason to really pull her into all the information involving his life. Especially since some might think he was insane. How do you explain to someone that after a year or so after leaving your fiance because his other, more violent personality took over that you decided you were wrong in that decision and now needed to find him again and that you prayed to any god that would listen that he was still alive. He knew with Mattie being a son of Jupiter that his life would be more at stake and that there would be an arrow on his back, that was the curse a big three was born with unfortunately, but he had loved him anyway and accepted that. He just didn't accept Mathias, and that has been one thing he regretted. He should have figured out a way to accept them, they were the same people in a sense. What if Mattie thought less of him because of it, Ber wasn't sure he would be able to handle that.  "I'm Berwald, though most call me Ber, it's easier to pronounce." He said as he looked at a few CD's and reached an arm out to move some of the cases back. He was wearing a short sleeve shirt so the prominent tattoo on his forearm that showed that he was a legionnaire was there. The SPQR and his five lines and then the symbol of his father, Vulcan. To the untrained eye they might think it was a cool tattoo but most demigods knew what that meant, whether they were Roman or Greek because he was sure that there was plenty of Greeks who have seen that tattoo, espeically after the war.  Autumn Copenhaver || 460 words || Notes

Autumn was very confused but that was normal for her. Someone telling her things about a weapon, she knew all of that. It wasn't very hard to figure out what someone meant by that. She had almost zero people skills half of the time. She had no idea what to say in most situations. "Where I work almost every day is different. People want different things and sometimes you don't get them all done in one day." She smiled down at the table thinking about the forge. Other than Shine the forge is the only thing that can make her smile. As Ber spoke she watched him, trying to figure him out. He said he was looking for someone and Autumn perked up a little. Shine was good at finding people like any other dog. Maybe she could help him in some way. "My dog is really good at finding people. If you have something of theirs. That is if your looking for a person." She didn't know what he was looking for so it was hard to offer him help.

As her reached over to grab something Autumn caught sight of the tattoo on his arm. It was the one all Roman demigods have. She did not know what they symbol underneath it was though but she knew one thing about this male. He was a demigod much like she was. "Who's your parent?" She asked him gesturing towards his tattoo. She figured that asking him that would be better than asking if he was a demigod. They were out in the mortal world and if he really wasn't then it would be weird. She would have to make sure to leave right away so she wouldn't turn into a science experiment. She smiled at the male in front of her and held onto her long board that stood infront of her.

I press the button and  it bursts into life This time nothing will escape my sight Ber arched an eyebrow at the girl. Most factories held a high standard of efficiency, he was surprised to hear that she still had employment despite not reached her daily quota on some days. Though perhaps that was just factories in Denmark that were like, perhaps American ones were a lot more lenient with their efficiany. Also, he was pretty sure most factories only worked on one commodity so as not to be overwhelmed. "Sounds like a very unique factor you work at." Ber said as he glanced over some of the music selection. He had never been one for modern music. Most of the time he listened to stuff to keep him focused, like classical or a soft techno so that he can stay focused on his work and not make any mistake. He knew it wasn't for anyone but he found that when he tried to do something while listening to music with vocals it only hindered him more.  He shook his head slightly. "No... I don't have anything of his." Ber said softly, a slight frown forming. He had left too much in a hurry to think about something like this may come about. Hell, he wasn't even sure if Mattie was even alive still. All he had himself was a small dufflebag full of a change of clothes and a wallet with a free mcdonalds medium fries coupon inside with an ID and a twenty dollar bill.  At her next question Ber raised an eyebrow and looked skeptically at the girl. He had not made mention of anything being a demigod so she must have smelled it on him. Therefore, she was a monster. "I beg your pardon but I really must be taking my leave now." Ber said as he hurriedly went to the door, glancing back to see if the girl was following him or not before realizing he had left his wallet on the CD rack, mentally cursing at himself in all the languages he knew as he stood outside of the music store.  Autumn Copenhaver || 375 words || We can continue, he only is outside the store

Autumn frowned when the male next to her said he didn't have anything of the guy he was looking for. She wished he would have had something then she could have been helpful to him. "I'm sorry. I wish I could help. What's his name maybe i know him!" She said happily. When he spoke next he almost sounded scared. She didn't know what she did wrong and when he ran out she thought maybe it was for the best. If the Roman didn't want to know her then she didn't need them. She had never even seen him around the joint camp so he must have been a Roman Renegade, probably a spy. She looked down and noticed that he had left his wallet. Autumn wanted to do something nice after scaring him away. She picked up the wallet and walked outside holding it out to him. "I saw your tattoo. That's why I asked. I see a lot of Romans with the same tattoo. Only the bottom symbol is different on most of them." She spoke softly and calm.

Autumn looked up at the male who was taller than her and smiled. "My father is Hephaestus. God of the forge." She said this at a whisper hoping that he heard her. She didn't want the mortals to hear her and think she was crazy. Then again he could think that she is crazy. He might be completely mortal and just thought it would be a cool tattoo to get for all she knew. She just had to try and make some kind of friend. She didn't have many back at camp.
