The Wonder Who I Am

A lack of motivation has been shown from the son of Demeter ever since the trial, but it has only festered as time passed. Instead of spending his time training all day like he used to, Jasper found himself sitting in the front of his porch despite the cold weather, the liquor that he drank keeping him warm. He was trying to hide in plain sight, not really expecting anyone to notice him, but he was proved wrong when one of the newer demigods called him. "Uh..." Jasper lamely said out loud for a brief moment. "Yeah. I mean, what else is there for me to do?" He rhetorically asked. “What about you? What are you doing wandering around? I think you’ll be better off joining me.”

wolfram was probably the one least likely to be an exhibitionist, and for all intents and purposes, he wasn’t. but the weather was cooling down, and what better way to relax after training than a nice dip in a hot spring. the sun is low in the sky, dusk quickly approaching, as he settles into the heated waters, letting out a gentle sigh as it relaxes every muscle in his body. he was feeling a little adventurous, deciding that this spring could be his private home away from home, so he strips down to his bare body, leaving his clothes in a pile nearby.

Even though the party might have been fun, it also weighed down on him in a way that he necessarily didn't expect. He didn't exactly care what it was, but it gave him a good enough reason to spend the night relaxing. And what better way than to soak in the soothing waters of the camp's hot spring? I mean, it's not like he had anything else to do tonight that kept him from doing so. 

He wouldn’t call it part of his lifestyle, but someone had to help the poor souls that drank too much at Jasper’s party. Hangover duty, which he dubbed to himself, involved gentle mornings and plenty of fluids. Coffees, teas, water…the list went on. Julian even offered his healing hands to rid of the symptoms, but he was sure a hangover would go away within an hour for this group. 

There's usually a level of composure that Jasper always has, no matter what the situation may be. That's what often happens when you have to look after yourself for years. But the night prior, he tossed all of his restrictions out of the window and indulged himself. Turning back to unhealthy habits that he thought he got rid of.

The day after the party, Daith had been thinking about coming back to Jasper’s cabin, but he wanted to give him something nice to thank him for the party. So, he got to do some woodcarving. But with how things were at camp, training and his mind in other things, it took him 5 days to finish the piece. After finishing, he changed into some clean clothes: pastel orange dungarees and a peach short-sleeved shirt. He went then to knock on the door of the Demeter cabin.

Even though he spent a whole night partying the night away, Jasper still found himself trying to enjoy himself. Day drinking, chilling in his home, finally figuring out how to truly be relaxed. But what people might consider relaxation might be deflection for other people, and that might have been the case for Jasper. The demigod was always on top of things, training day in and day out, doing chores all over camp. Now, that his trial was done and he acquired his mother's gift, he honestly thought he deserved a moment to breathe. But that moment has been dragging for too long, and now he's becoming somewhat apathetic.
