(this is between the Hermes cabin and the Ares cabin. Feel free to rpg a random character from either. Any of your main characters can be rpged watching it or something)
Astrid signaled to her half siblings as they crept up on the Hermes cabin. It was late at night, and though the harpies were out, they could easily take care of them. They surrounded the cabin, all carrying swords, shields, and other various weapons.
Joanna could play with her pranks all day long. Astrid could care less. She was only interested in the fighting part of it. No one messed with her and got away with it. She had made it clear to her cabinmates that they couldn't go overboard with this, or Chiron would have a fit. They were just going to give the Hermes cabin a good scare. And she knew Nicki would put an arrow in somebody's arm if she got an infirmary full of injured campers.
So they were keeping the bloodshed to a minimum. But hey, if the Hermes cabin couldn't protect themselves, how was that her fault?

Joanna was snoring blissfully in her bunk when she was woken up by a constant poking at her left arm. She opened her eyes groggily, only to see Kyle, her youngest half sibling at the ripe age of seven.
"Jo," he whispered, his blue eyes gleaming in the moonlight. "I heard a noise outside."
"It's just the harpies, Ky. Go back to sleep." She whispers back so as to not wake her other siblings. For some reason, Kyle only came to Joanna when he had nightmares or heard something scary. She assumed it was because she was the only one who bothered to show him around on his first day.
"But, Jo. I'm scared. Can you check outside please?"
"Fine." She grumbled as she sat up. She pulled her blonde hair into a ponytail before taking Kyle's hand and pulling him to the window. "See, Kyle. Nothing wro-" She stopped dead in her tracks, noticing what Kyle heard.
"What is it, Jo?" Kyle asked tentatively.
"Just, wake up the cabin. We've got some guests." And he did so. Nice try, Astrid.

She heard whispers inside. Crap She thought. But the entire cabin wasn't awake yet. She signaled for the others to move in, and instantly, the chaos started as the Ares cabin made the first move at getting back Joanna and the rest of her siblings. Astrid stood outside and watched, a smirk on her face. Gotcha Joanna.

Joanna was stalling. She knew her siblings liked a good prank as much as she did, but she didn't know how to tell them she got into this whole thing with the Ares cabin. Just tell them, Jo. Worst thing to happen is that they'll get back at me with a prank. But if that involves anything with them using Scott, I'll die from embarrassment.
"Guys," she decides to start when most of the campers were willing to wake up. "I have a confession... Earlier today, I sort of pissed off this girl named Astrid, an Ares camper. Long story short, we're now in a war with them and they are headed to our cabin as I speak. Okay?"
The cabin- or at least those who were awake- immediately broke into murmurs. Joanna became annoyed. "Shut up! We need to figure something out before they, I don't know, kill us!"

"Too late for that." Astrid's smirk was obvious as she stood in the doorway, her siblings crowding in around her. "Told ya Joanna. No one messes with me and gets away with it. Ready to get crushed?"

Jack stood, sword at the ready, behind Astrid waiting for orders. He was more of a senior camper, but Astrid had planned the whole thing, so he stepped back.
Kara glared at Joanna. She was unclaimed, at the age of 12, and was tired and cranky. Living in the Hermes cabin was horrible with all the pranks and thievery. Now this, she was done with it! She took out her sword and gave a low grumble in her throat before taking the second line in the Hermes cabin.

"Damn..." Joanna muttered as the cabin took defense. If she had had a little more time, she may have come up with some lame motivational speech and a plan. Guess they'll just have to wing it now. "So nice of you to finally show up, Astrid."

She gave a sly grin to Joanna, then glanced back at her cabinmates. "Keep the cabin surrounded. Remember what I told you, minimal bloodshed, or Chirion will have our heads. Ares cabin, attack!" Her voice rose at the end, and she headed straight for Joanna. She had been rather excited to plan this. Usually the senor campers in her cabin did, but since this was her doing, she got full charge.

Akito was hidden behind a curtain of dark blue fabric hanging in front of his bottom bunk. The creak of the dude above him woke him up. He was about to give him a piece of his mind when he heard Joanna confess the idiocy of her earlier actions. Well f this. He complained. He plopped his head back onto his pillow, but just to be safe, he reached under his mattress and gripped the hilt of the sword he stole from the armory. Freaking cabins avenging their freaking campers. He was quickly startled as the yell of Astrid's command caused an avalanche of footsteps to enter the cabin. He got up and moved to the darkest corner of his tiny bed and held tightly to his sword, ready to defend himself in needed.
((So how does one keep bloodshed to a minimum in an ambush as such?))

Jack ran in and instantly disarmed to unclaimed campers and grabbed their weapons, he yelled out, "Astrid, should we bring their weapons back to the cabin?"
Kara was ready for anyone to come at her, and when an older boy, Jack, disarmed her she instantly jumped on his back like she would with her older step brothers and gripped on tight grabbing for her weapon now and again.
Jack cursed as he tried to throw the twelve year old off him.

"Yeah, get all the ones you can!" Astrid shouted back, then noticed the kid jump on him. She paused to get a firm grip on the girl's arms, still watching Joanna out of the corner of her eye, and pulled her off, and shoved her onto one of the beds before going back after Joanna.
Anabelle watched outside, shaking her head, and not at all surprised by Astrid's attack. She had been woken up by the sound of yelling, and decided to watch just for the fun of it. If Astrid was involved, there was always some entertainment.

Joanna saw Astrid coming towards her. She figured this would happen since it was kinda her fault, but she wanted to make some fun out of it before getting pummeled to death. She pulled her switchblade from the pocket of her dirty clothes and had it ready. "Hey, Astrid. Long time no see, huh?" Joanna smiles coyly, knowing that she's making the odds of her not getting hurt very impossible.

Kara's head it the wall and she was dazed for a bit as Jack took her swords and threw them at a younger Ares camper.
Jack threw the swords at his half-brother Liam and said, "Take these back to the cabin!"

She smirked again. "Talking isn't going to stop the inevitable you know. So why don't we just skip it and get on with the fun? Ready to get crushed?"
