"Here [in the city] dwells Eunomia (Good Order) and that unsullied fountain Dike (Justice), her sister, sure support of cities; and Eirene (Peace) of the same kin, who are the stewards of wealth for mankind--three glorious daughters of wise-counselled (euboulos) Themis (Divine Law)." Themis: Titan of divine order, law, and custom Some classical representations of Themis (illustration, right) did not show her blindfolded (because of her talent for prophecy, she had no need to be blinded) nor was she holding a sword (because she represented common consent, not coercion). Themis built the Oracle at Delphi and was herself oracular. According to another legend, Themis received the Oracle at Delphi from Gaia and later gave it to Phoebe. She is the daughter of Gaea and Ouranous, and were one of the twelve Titans, before joining Zeus' side.
Her cabin is neat and orderly, and there is a scale in the center which can weigh anything. Not just actual weight. The cabin has the same strict feel as a courtroom, and the beds are always made and orderly.

 Lyris combed back her hair, while pulling out her earrings. She washed off the heavy makeup and changed into her old clothes. She decided she didn't like fitting into Erichthonius's crowd. She preferred her old self, and she smiled into the mirror as she fixed her head band, looking extremely prim and neat.
She picked up her book on law, and turned on her heel and left the cabin, her hair bouncing around her as she marched out of the cabin into the bright sunlight.

Lyris sat there in the lonely cabin, reciting her lessons, looking a little bored. Sighing, she paced around the cabin, a little weary. Deciding that she couldn't just stay there, she left.

 ✚Frowning with concentration,✚Lyris paced the cabin, her book of Law held aloft as she recited its' words. She tucked her blond hair behind her ears, her gray eyes squinting as she looked at the words. Despite the many people who thought she was a daughter of Athena, Lyris took pride in her parents accomplishments, and it was with glowing pride that she flipped to a chapter on Nuptial Law and read aloud.
"In the United States, prenuptial agreements are recognized in all fifty states and the District of Columbia. Likewise, in most jurisdictions, five elements are required for a valid prenuptial agreement:
1. agreement must be in writing (oral prenups are always prohibited);
2. must be executed voluntarily;
3. full and/or fair disclosure at the time of execution;
4. the agreement cannot be unconscionable;
5. it must be executed by both parties (not their attorneys)"
She frowned, still pacing, read more intently from her book, but this time, skipping the chapters on Nuptial Law, for they bored her. Despite her dyslexia, Lyris read well, but it took a long time, so her father had purchased her a nice book of law, written in Greek. It had taken him a while to find such a book, and he had to order it online, but nonetheless, he gave it to his daughter, and now she was here, reading from the book with almost perfect fluency.
Lyris put down her book however, and combed her bright blond hair, pulling it back before putting on a navy blue headband, and dressing in her orange Camp Half-Blood T-shirt, but also a gray sweater and dark jeans. She knew she was teased at for being so neat and orderly, but it had its advantages. Sighing, she picked up her books and messenger bag, looking around the empty cabin. She frowned, wondering if having siblings would be a good or bad thing, since it did get awfully lonely sometimes.
"Well, anything that can go wrong will go wrong," Lyris said, quoting the famous law of Murphy, simply stating that it was best not to take risks, and better to stick to the simple laws of logic. She had no need for siblings after all. She had two adorable twin step-siblings, and in her opinion, they were all she needed. Still, it would be nice to have some company.
Deciding that moping around was no good, she turned on her heel and left the cabin, picking up her ruby necklace on the way, feeling oddly lonely without it at times."Now that I think about it, I can't remember what we decided," She frowned, but continued to wear the necklace.

 ✚Lyris awoke, yawning and look at the clock with surprise.✚ She had been sleeping very late most days. Perhaps it was because she had stayed up so late last night. She ran a brush through her honey-blond hair, smiling slightly. Everyone thought she was a child of Athena, despite the fact she had jade colored eyes. She smiled thinly, and thought about her little step-siblings, who pronounced Themis as Thee-mee. She yawned again before dressing, and fixing her hair with a hairband. She always dressed very primly, and was very neat and orderly. She made her bed, and tidied the cabin, but there wasn't much else to do. "So lonely...." She sighed, wishing she had some demigod siblings to talk to while she wasn't in D.C. She picked up her books and her bow, slinging it over her shoulder and picking up a case of arrows. She tied back her hair in a free hand before opening the door to the cabin and leaving, closing it securely behind her. She reached for her pocket and touched the ruby pendant in her pocket. She closed her eyes a moment, wishing for strength before she left her cabin area to go to a peaceful area to read.

As isabella entered the cabin she carried her belongings from hermes cabin. " I'll kill that kevin kid. " She growled as she found a bed and began unwrapping the tools of her trade finally finding the blueprints and two molds. " I hate the fact I have to put this together myself but I guess it has to be done" Isabella griped as she left the cabin heading for the armory.
(( Next post in armory))

As isabella walked into the cabin she stopped at the scales and felt bad. " Mother forgive me today I'm going to go aginst everything you stand for for the sake of one man" Isabella cried. She then went to her belongings and pulled out her hit bag gathering all of the tools of her fathers trade. When she was done she would force gale to come back to her. With finishing her preperations she headed for the woods to hunt Gale and Carolynne.

✚Lyris walked into the cabin,✚ chewing heavily on a piece of bubblegum. She sighed, running a hand through her long, honey-blond hair. She changed into stone-washed jeans and a denim jacket before settling down in a chair, her leather riding boots up on the desk. She slowly rocked back and forth in the chair, blowing bubbles and popping her gum. She sighed, closing her eyes. "Sooooo bored..." She yawned, her jaws working up and down to chew her gum. She opened one jade-colored eye, glancing around the room. She saw another used bunk. New camper, huh? The clothes strewn across the floor said a girl.
A new sister. Whoop-de-doo. Lyris groaned. She reached forward and pulled a few pictures off her desk. The first picture was before she found out she was a half-blood. She was dressed primly, and smiling up at the camera. The second picture was shortly after she came to camp. She had punk-styled hair and ripped clothes. She grinned, the exciting years. The third picture was taken shortly after she returned to camp when she left for Christmas. Same as she was now. Denim and leather. She enjoyed it. "Ah well. Wonder who the new sister is?"

Michael trotted up to cabin 22 (( or 23 )) with sheets of paper, nails, and a hammer. The papers read:
Bonfire Beach Party. All campers except Athena and Hades kids are invited. Ask a Dionysus kid what time the day and time the party will start.
Michael took the hammer and started to nail the notice on to the cabin. He trotted along to the next cabin.

Samuel walked inside the cabin. He noticed immediately how orderly everything was compared to the horribly messy Hermes cabin.
"Well, at least there's someplace to think," he said.
He stepped over to the scales, but was surprised when they tilted themselves when he drew near. Blank golden labels above them formed words. One said "Sorrow", while the other said "Pride". The sorrow was obviously heavier.
"... Wow," he managed to say. The pride side suddenly pushed down a little. "I guess I might grow to like it here after all." He set his backpack and sleeping bag down and plopped onto an unclaimed bed.
(Edit due to nobody apparently being home...)
Sam then got up and went to the Armory.

Petria walked into the empty cabin keeping her hands together in front of her looking through the cabin, seeing the inside of it for the first time. it reminded her of a jail cell, or a courtroom. She then saw the set of scales mirrored by the pair on the necklace around Sam's neck. She sat down on a bunk with no belongings underneath it and waited for Sam to set inside.

 XXXX Samuel Christopher XXXX Son of ThemisXXXXXXXX»"Events happen after choices are made.""Ah, I see that you've noticed the scales," Samuel said, walking in behind her. "They are quite interesting, actually. They weigh more than just physical matter, as I learned when I stepped close to them on my first time in here." He fingered his own miniature set of scales on his necklace, which swayed it's ends before returning to perfect balance. He was actually thinking of hs mortal "mother". "Anyways, that's my own bunk, which I claimed earlier today when I myself was claimed. I don't have a lot of stuff with me, but, hey, this is a camp. I don't think I'm supposed to bring my house with me." He motioned her over to the scales. "How about we see what's weighing on your heart right now?"

She walked over to the scales and looked at Sam unsure of what she was supposed to do. Then she heard creaking of the scales, and she looked back. The side that looked golden had started to fall downwards, but just as quickly the silver side balanced it out. Her hand sought out Sam's as she waited for his interpretation of it, and when she made contact the gold side shot downwards... "Dear Zeus..." Thunder rolled in the sky and then her mind flitted to her memories of the Venti attacks and the Silver side dropped until the scales slid off of the balancing point clattering to the table.
