I think our close-range capabilities are slightly more important in the short term, even if I think we'll end up more a ranged/archery/sling-shot character. Chloro may develop a bit on its own so for this first month, let's see if things develop with just a bit of push if we don't like our EXP returns then maybe powering through could be in order. In contrast, we have a lot more room to grow with the Growth Concept and I expect we'll be getting very large returns here. Arts and crafts I think could lead to some interesting and more dynamic things down the line for us so lets try it out.

I'd like to maybe try and find and interact with other demi-gods here that are around our age but inputting that as an action seems like a bit of a waste.

Surprised we didn't get to choose our weapon, I vaguely remember Piper getting to go through the armory almost immediately.

HP's Lily Evans was shown manipulating flowers as a child for her 'accidental magic', and oddly enough like Tom Riddle she had intentional control over it to reproduce it. Lily is also a beautiful girl, and her sister a horse-faced bitch. Hogwarts also only runs during the school year and PJ's Half-Blood Camp allows students to only attend during the summers. If this is a blended universe, then it'd be easy to see Lily being half-sister to Petunia and a demigod child of Demeter.

I'm a bit surprised he didn't immediately start questioning if this was a blended universe when he heard Lily's name and saw her (though you never described her, so her appearance and accent is unknown). Admittedly, it's likely been a decade or more since he read the books and he 'knew' he was in PJ-verse for most of that time so it'd be believable that he'd forget random facts of an old fiction.


There hasn't been any reference to HP fiction in the story, so it's entirely possible that it doesn't exist in universe. Not to mention the possibility of a blended universe.

Timeline doesn't match up. Harry Potter's 7 Hogwarts years take place between 1991 and 1998. Unless she also came back from the dead, turned back into a teenager, and a whole host of other issues...

Suffice to say it'd be an ass pull to throw in the crossover. Being the butt of Harry Potter jokes makes more sense.

Did the books published in 1999 even mention her maiden name? And there's always the possibilities of timeline shift and time travel, considering the wizarding world is more or less atemporal.

I'd argue that adjusting timelines when making a blended universe isn't really a big deal and has been done in numerous fanfictions. Especially for a universe with so little involvement in regular history. Lily was born January 30th, 1960 in HP canon, attended Hogwarts 1971-1978, and had Harry 1980. In this quest, it's 1999 and Lily Evans is presumably a late teen, so I'll guess she was born 1980-1985. To properly blend the universes, you'd have to move the HP timeline up by 20-25 years or one generation. Since Riddle has to grow up during WW2, it'd cause a bit of trouble explaining away his extra two decades of inactivity but that's really about the only important plothole I can think of from doing so. After all, the Dippet was in his 300s and still working so having the story's old people be older a big deal. So yeah, throwing it at us out of nowhere would be a bit of a surprise but adjusting the timeline to do so wouldn't be an 'ass pull' as you say.

ninja'd by @Randomleech, though I explained it a bit more. I do like his use of 'atemporal' though since it sums things up nicely.

Article:

I'm pretty sure Lily's childhood only came out in Order of the Pheonix when fleshing out Snape, but I'm almost certain that it wasn't in the first few books which'd be all that's out at this point. Also, since we don't have her description yet and I'm pretty sure we don't learn about Lily Potter's accidental magic until book 5 or maybe even 7, it's unlikely people would joke about this quest's Lily Evans being connected to the dead mother of a child books's major character's maiden name.

No idea. To long since I read the books and that's an obscure fact.

And if you want time travel, dimension hopping, or whatever contrivance desired to justify it I'd understand on the Harry Potter side if things, but it doesn't really fit the PJO side.

Plus there's no need to do all of that just for an expy of the character. Not that there's much reason to make an expy of her since she's mostly a blank slate. In all likelihood she's just a very convenient name to use for a daughter of Demeter because names are hard.

A blended universe doesn't require time travel, dimensional hoping, or any other such contrivances. It just requires adjusting the timeline which doesn't really affect the story all that much. Wizards are so separated from muggle life, and the story is told mostly from Harry's POV and he isn't isn't allowed access to muggle entertainment and stuff that it taking place a bit more modern doesn't affect the story all that much especially in 1999. We know from HP canon's 1998 that they're not all that worried about CCTVs and muggle tech finding them so while I'd hope that by 2020s there'd be necessary changes to their society due to muggle tech, I wouldn't really expect all that much changed in the Wizarding World from pushing their timeline up this way.

Though I'd agree its much more likely its a humorous expy, likely due to Lily's childhood abilities and the quest's MC being a child of Demeter, rather than a surprise blended universe, I'm just saying that the mismatched timelines wouldn't be a major issue.

Personally thinking the big boons here are CQC/Archery, because we can't train those at home, only at camp.
Our Demigod powers we've trained on our own for a while now, so no worries, other than try them out.

Fair enough. I've probably just seen too many shitty crossovers and things ruined by suddenly adding a crossover where one wasn't required to really trust them if I wasn't expecting it coming in. Not to hate on crossovers, I've read plenty I really liked, the implication of suddenly adding one brought up trauma from bad FF.net fics

Well this is just low-hanging fruit.
I'm a little nervous about this since this is by far the most characters I've ever written about at once, but I'll try and make it work.

So I'm curious @Monk Penguin, if it's alright to ask, it seems like Demeter didn't waste any time in claiming Sam as her kid. Was that always going to happen or did choosing actions like gardening and developing chlorokinesis have an affect on that? Has Demeter been keeping an eye on Sam through the plants or Dryads he has encountered?

It actually depended entirely on how you treated the dryads. She would still have claimed you *eventually* though.

Yeah shes an expy. I wanted to write more into this chapter but I was practically falling asleep by the end of what's currently written.

Hey @veekie and @Blonddude42 just out of curiosity did you mean to only vote for 6 activities at camp when you can choose 7?

Copied Veekie like I often do in quests. I trust his judgement on a lot of things, especially when he had the time to explain his reasoning. Might as well just add a proxy vote for him to my signature so I remember to just do that more often. Saves time if he ever wants to change votes.
