to: all, with apologies to nico di angelo

( 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.

ota; threadjacking welcome.

[righteously]

Well.
This sure was a lot.
Art Shark's got a new bff, or a new arch nemesis.
Can we circle back to the part about demigods and Zeus for a hot second?

[demigoth]

Don’t worry about the demigods.

But how do you know Ancient Greek?

[righteously]

Worrying about demigods is my job.

Magic.

[demigoth]

Is your name Chiron?

[righteously]

Not exactly.

( And you would not BELIEVE how tempting it is to make an immature joke about that question, but he's keeping his Business Face on. For now. By the skin of his teeth. )

Check the auto-signature.

[demigoth]

[ His knowledge of the network is rudimentary, and he has no underlying social media savvy. ]

Yeah, so?! You could’ve made it say that.

[divasmio]

Fascinating. Who hired you for that job?

[righteously]

ZipRecruiter.

[divasmio]

Terribly sorry, but the nanny position's been made redundant now that they've got an adult relative here to be their legal guardian. I'm afraid I'm going to have to let you go.

[areou]

Some would say it's my business to make nemeses
Not to be confused with, you know, Nemesis
You got a problem with demigods, you got a problem with me, pal

[righteously]

Cool your jets, Mustang Sally
My problem's that part about Zeus being pissed
I already dealt with that once, I'm not looking for a round two
Is he here?

[areou]

From the looks of the storm and all that lightning?
He's not just bowling on Olympus
What do you mean "dealt with"?

[righteously]

Dealt with as in he was a problem, and then he wasn't anymore.

If it makes you feel any better, we're pretty sure that storm's something else.

[areou]

Wow, how did you know cryptic responses are my favorite

Something else like what? Typhon?
Because if he's back, we're definitely fucked

[divinityfrompain]

They're assuming it's Zeus because that's their experience. A reasonable assumption, but if he was here, he'd be one of us, same as the angels and the other gods or god-adjacents.

Also chill a little bit.

[sonofacesius]

I'd like to apologize for my boyfriend. And my dad. And Clarisse. And Percy if he's here and you've met him.

[Annabeth? nope she's fine.]

[seaweedbrain]

Hey, man! I didn't do anything!

[sonofacesius]

Not yet. I'm apologizing in advance.

[seaweedbrain]

Isn't it like innocent until proven guilty or something?

Also dude, you're here too?

[divinityfrompain]

You were not kidding about the number of demigods.

It's good to have friends here, congrats.

[sonofacesius]

This? Sadly, this is nothing. Imagine this chaos times like. 100.

But thanks, it's good to feel like home again.

I'm a little sorry for all the chaos but. .....no, no I'm actually not. I missed it.

[divinityfrompain]

Yeah kind of glad we're not to that level. There's enough chaos to spare around here.

It's okay to feel good about it. Missing people is normal.

[righteously]

Don't sweat it, kid. Family's messy.

[sonofacesius]

Especially when your family's the greek pantheon.

......Give me a heads up if I need to put anyone in a time out okay?

[righteously]

Will do.

( He absolutely won't do, Will worries about everyone else too much and himself not enough. )
