( the message is deliberately written in ancient greek. for most summoned, the network will auto-translate, but she's hoping there might be others who recognize the original text. )

WILL SOLACE COME RETRIEVE YOUR EMOTIONAL SUPPORT GOTH I'M NOT HIS BABYSITTER

( helpfully, she adds an illustration that no one asked for: )



( then, because nico seriously needs more friends and it's her duty as former head counselor of the ares cabin to embarrass any and all younger campers: )

↖  BTW THIS IS NICO
HE LOVES LONG WALKS THROUGH THE UNDERWORLD AND BROODING IN GRAVEYARDS
HE'S SPOKEN FOR BUT I'M SURE HE'LL BE THE AFTERLIFE OF YOUR NEXT PARTY
CHALLENGE HIM TO A GAME OF MYTHOMAGIC TODAY!!!

ALSO IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS SEEN THESE DEMIGODS CONTACT ME ASAP
LOOKS LIKE ZEUS IS SUPER FUCKING PISSED AGAIN AND WE NEED A GAMEPLAN

( more shitty doodles follow, this time vaguely resembling percy and annabeth, although this time she labels them: )



— CLARISSE LA RUE, DRAKON-SLAYER, DAUGHTER OF ARES

( she figures she may as well cover all her bases here since all of this feels like a ren faire on steroids anyway.

ooc | threadjacking is more than welcome and, frankly, encouraged. let's all go hog boar wild. 🫡 )

First of all, daughter of Ares, I was born to fight
Second, that's what camp is for: How Not To Become Monster Chow (Weapons Included!)

Anyway we've fought two wars with Titans and Giants and every other nasty motherfucker they dredged out of Tartarus, I think we can handle a few giant worms

The Mist keeps mortals from losing their marbles, basically
They don't see things the way we do
Oh, that Hydra over there? Nah, that's just a bunch of weird inflatable guys tangled together
If the Mist is strong enough, sometimes it can fool us, too
Monsters love to disguise themselves as math teachers

[righteously]

Look
I get it
You wanna prove yourself, that's great and all, but it's not just your own survival you need to worry about here, it's what you might attract back to the city, too. I'm just saying it doesn't hurt to be smart about it, and get some experience with what's out there before somebody gets hurt.

Jesus.
Yeah, no mist here. Monsters just look like monsters, and they like to eat mortals just as much as any other species.

[areou]

Good to know, keep monsters away from mortals

You said you hunt them for a living
There some kind of bestiary for all the shit out there in the Badlands?
You know, so we can be prepared

[righteously]

Yeah, we've got a monster board at the Roadhouse.
If you can get to the Horizon, swing by. Most of the monster-hunter types frequent it and update it with notes.

We also play Knife Chess, if that's your jam.

[areou]

What the hell is Knife Chess

[righteously]

You take turns throwing knives at a chessboard. Rules are posted by the board.

[areou]

Sounds like my kinda game
Once I get this Horizon shit figured out, you'll be seeing me
