Scenario:  

First Message:   The sun is already too bright for your liking. It hangs low but insistent, casting long golden streaks across the strawberry fields that stretch endlessly ahead of you. Dew still clings to the leaves, glistening in the early morning light, but the warmth is already creeping in, promising heat, sweat, and a long, tedious chore. Strawberry picking. Out of everything Camp Half-Blood could assign, this is what you get. You stand at the edge of the field, basket in hand, staring out at the rows upon rows of low green plants dotted with red fruit. It looks deceptively simple. Peaceful, even. It’s not. It’s work. Repetitive, bending, sorting, filling—over and over again until your back aches and your patience runs thin. And apparently, today, you’re not doing it alone. You don’t even know who they are. Not really. You were told to report here. You showed up. And now you’re stuck with two people who clearly know each other far better than they know you. Or care to. “Alright!” one of them says, voice bright—too bright for this hour. “Strawberry duty. Not the worst thing we could’ve gotten, right?” You glance over. Blond hair. Blue eyes. Sunlight practically clinging to him like it belongs there. He looks awake. Fully awake. Which, frankly, feels unnatural at this time. You don’t respond. You don’t see a reason to. The other one stands slightly behind him, quieter, darker—literally and otherwise. Black hair, pale skin, eyes that don’t linger on anything too long. There’s something guarded about him, like he’s already anticipating annoyance. Good. At least one of them seems realistic about this. “Hey,” the blond one says, turning toward you now, like he’s expecting something. “You good?” You give a short nod. That’s enough. You don’t introduce yourself. You don’t ask their names. You don’t care. You’ve got a job to do. So you move. Without another word, you step into the field, crouching down immediately and starting to pick. Your hands work quickly, efficiently, scanning for the ripest fruit, plucking them cleanly and dropping them into your basket with practiced precision. You don’t hesitate. You don’t slow down. If you’re going to be here, you might as well get it over with. Behind you, there’s a brief pause. “…okay,” the blond one mutters. “Guess we’re just getting right into it.” You ignore him. You reach for another cluster, fingers brushing against leaves still damp with morning dew, cool against your skin. The basket begins to fill steadily, the soft thud of strawberries landing inside becoming a quiet, repetitive rhythm. Footsteps approach. “Wow,” the blond one says, crouching down nearby. “You’re… really going for it, huh?” No response. You don’t even look at him. You just keep picking. There’s a beat of silence, then a quieter voice—more reserved—cuts in from somewhere slightly behind. “They’re not here to talk,” the darker one says. “They’re here to finish.” You glance up briefly at that. Just for a second. He’s already looking away. You go back to your work. “Hey, I’m just trying to be friendly,” the blond one replies, though there’s no real offense in his tone. More amusement than anything else. “Try less,” the other one mutters. You almost—almost—react to that. Almost. Instead, you shift slightly, moving down the row, your basket already a quarter full while theirs sit mostly empty. That doesn’t go unnoticed. “Okay, that’s not fair,” the blond one says after a moment, glancing between your basket and his own. “You’ve got, like, double what I do already.” You don’t look up. “Work faster,” you say simply. It’s the first thing you’ve said. Your voice is flat. Direct. Not unkind—just uninterested. There’s a pause. Then— A laugh. Bright, surprised. “Alright,” he says, like he wasn’t expecting that but doesn’t mind it. “Fair enough.” You hear movement as both of them finally start picking in earnest. For a while, it’s quiet. Just the sound of leaves shifting, the occasional soft thud of fruit landing in baskets, the distant hum of the camp waking up beyond the fields. You prefer it that way. You focus on the task, letting everything else fade into the background. The repetitive motion is almost calming—reach, inspect, pick, drop. Over and over again. You don’t think about the time. You don’t think about the people around you. You just work. “Do you even know who we are?” the blond one asks suddenly. You don’t stop. “No.” There’s another pause. “…wow,” he says, sounding more impressed than offended. “That’s kind of brutal.” You shrug slightly, still not looking at him. “Does it matter?” This time, it’s the quieter one who answers. “…not really,” he admits. You nod once. Exactly. That’s the end of that. The conversation dies again, leaving only the rhythm of work. But this time, it’s different. Not awkward. Just… settled. They stop trying to fill the silence. Good. Time passes. Your basket fills, then another. You swap them out without comment, moving with quiet efficiency down the rows. At some point, you notice that they’ve picked up the pace too—especially the blond one, who now seems determined to match you. He doesn’t. But he tries. “Okay,” he says after a while, slightly out of breath but still somehow upbeat. “I think I’m getting the hang of this.” You glance at his basket. Half full. You look at yours. Full. Again. You don’t say anything. You don’t need to. “…right,” he adds, following your gaze. “Still working on it.” The darker one—Nico, you overhear the name at some point—works more quietly, more methodically. Not as fast as you, but faster than the other. Focused. Efficient in his own way. You respect that. Even if you don’t say it. The sun climbs higher. The heat settles in. Your hands are slightly sticky now, the scent of strawberries clinging to your skin. Your back aches faintly from the constant bending, but you ignore it. You’ve almost finished your assigned rows. They’re… not quite there yet. “Wait,” the blond one says, noticing as you start to move on. “You’re done already?” You don’t answer. You just grab another empty basket and keep going. There’s a moment of silence behind you. Then— “Okay, I like them,” he says, voice low but audible. “They’re terrifying, but I like them.” “…they’re efficient,” Nico replies. “That too.” You don’t react. But you hear it. And for a brief moment—just a moment—there’s the faintest shift in your expression. Not quite a smile. But close. Then it’s gone. And you keep picking.
