come and enter the world of the olympians.
welcome to give me a sign! we're a demi-god role play loosely based off of the popular books by rick riordan, "percy jackson & the olympians." we sport friendly staff members, devoted role players, and an awesome skin! your characters will live and breathe in the newest camp half-blood in the town of nicholson aires, florida. they will face many dangers such as minotaurs, fearsome gods, and much more. pretty soon you'll be begging the gods to
"GIVE ME A SIGN"
PROPHECY:
none as of yet!
SETTING:
give me a sign takes place in the town of nicholson aires, florida. nicholson aires is known for its beautiful landscaping and, most of all, it's ancient buildings. most of its buildings are made of brick and logs, but when you get closer to the outskirts of the town, they become more modern. camp half-blood is located in media res, or in the middle of things. that is to say that it is part of the main city, but mortals can't access it.

building the foundation ; rules, rules, rules! we all need them, right? well, we wish we didn't, but we do. so here are all of the rules that you need to abide by to get along with us here at give me a sign! so read them over and live by them because, well, it'll be worth it in the end.
important news ; obviously you should know what this means unless you live under a rock. in here you will find your announcements and important tidbits of information! so please read these over too! we don't just post them up for nothing!
you definitely need it ; that's right, help! just face the facts, you need it. or, at least, some of you need it! we can answer all of your questions here, regardless of difficulty. we're pretty cocky, so we could probably answer them! just make a thread and send out that question. questions aren't just for staff, though! fellow members can answer as well, if they feel they're able.
main entrance ; the entrance to camp half-blood lies between two large pine trees. they've been there for years and almost engulf each other. the magical "gate" of sorts lies in between them, but you have to maneuver your way into the camp itself. the entrance is off the side of a narrow dirt road which is desolate for the most part. once you enter the camp, the cabins are to your right, the main hall is straight ahead, and a forest lies to the left, where all of the activities will take place. various foliage and gardens are placed throughout the camp.

the cabins ; the cabins in camp half-blood are extensive. there is one for every god or goddess's respective children. all "unmarked" demi-gods are put into the Hermes cabin because he is the god of travelers. each cabin is decorated according to the specific god/goddess it's made for. the "big three" cabins stand in the middle, while the rest of them branch out around them. they make a big circle, signifying the unity of the gods and goddesses.
the forest ; to the left of the main entrance there is a vast sea of trees. they vary in type from pine to oak and from tiny to tall. most of the trees are tall, but the smaller ones have been recently planted because of disastrous capture the flag games. in here, everything happens. there are the famous "capture the flag" games, scavenger hunts, and just random trysts that the camp-goers like to go on. this part of the camp is highly dangerous, though, because the magical wall is closer. therefore, monsters are more likely to slip through in this area.
the main hall ; the main hall isn't for just anything. it's the focal point of the camp! made out of pure white marble and polished to perfection, this hall houses the camp counselors and the oracle of apollo. you walk inside and the same white marble is on the inside as well. you hardly see anyone in here; they're too afraid to mess up any of the pristine decorating.

the mess hall ; obviously this is where all of the demi-gods from camp half-blood eat their meals. there are tables for each of the cabins, the wood matching their respective cabins. each demi-god has to offer up a part of their meal to the gods via the fire pit and they can only sit at their own table. it's rare that cabins intermingle, but it has been known to happen.

the fire pit ; this fire pit serves a double purpose. when the demi-gods eat, they offer a part of their meal to the gods via the fire pit. the smoke goes up to olympus and makes the gods happy. but, it also serves as the centerpiece for the camp sing-alongs! and a bunch of deep conversations. secrets may be revealed!

the beach ; it's pretty standard to have a beach in florida. and camp half-blood happens to be in a coastal city, so the beach is here! past the main hall, the prickly, green grass gradually turns into soft, white sand. the clear blue waters lap up onto the shore and some shells poke up through the white sand. there are a couple of logs sitting around, and there's a cliff hanging above the beach where the fire pit is located.
nicholson avenue ; nicholson aires, though it might be slightly old and, well, ancient, is most known for "nicholson avenue." nicholson avenue is a street filled with popular shopping venues and night clubs for all ages. it's sort of a smack in the face for the demi-gods of camp half-blood because it's very dangerous for them to leave the camp at all.

fiddler's inn ; this place is creepy from the start. it's not abandoned, which is weird because from its initial appearance it definitely should be! you walk in and the doors basically fall off their hinges. the tables are termite-eaten and are full of holes. there's mold growing on the walls and ceiling. the steps leading up to the rooms are creaky and unstable, and a few are even missing! when you finally make it upstairs, it wreaks of mothballs and cat pee which, you can imagine, doesn't make a good mix. the owner himself, ed fiddler, isn't a looker. to be honest, it's questionable if he's even human.

ye olde abandoned church ; no lie, this place is called "ye olde abandoned" church. it's still used, but only occasionally. it's used for the occasional church pasta dinner or bingo, which each happen at least once a month. the actual church the people of nicholson aires worship in is further down the street, more toward the outskirts of town. when there isn't anyone inside, people can still claim to hear random noises. no one has clarified the reason for these noises, but they never occur while people are inside. strange.

crichton's cafe ; this little cafe sits on the corner of one of nicholson aires's few streets. it's cute and high-end for a cafe. it has multiple computers and sells pretty decent coffee! many people come here to mingle, including the rebellious demigods. the cafe owner knows about the presence of demigods in his cafe, but he helps them stay safe because of it. it only lies a couple blocks away from camp half-blood, so it's not too much of a risk to get here.

knick knack shack ; cheesy name, sure, but it's worked for so long. the old couple that owns this three-story shop have made a fortune on their knick knacks and plan to for a long time! they make rock figures in their spare time, which cover the surrounding area. they've always been creepy, but the townspeople think nothing of it.
