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. 🫡 )

[Okay, there's a lot going on here, but the thing that catches his attention is:]

Will, your boyfriend is here??

[sonofacesius]

Yup! Nico's here. And my dad. And apparently Percy and Annabeth. Haven't seen the two of them yet though.

I'd love for you to meet them sometime. All of them.

[ordinar]

That's great. He's lucky to have you here to help him adjust to everything.

I met Annabeth. Percy is the guy who's always with her?

[So he cleverly deduces from the heart-eyes doodle.]

I don't know if I'm qualified to meet a god.

[sonofacesius]

Yeah, Percy is the guy who is always with her. Separating those two is not a good idea. They're nice, don't worry.

[Unlike, say Clarisse who is not everyone's cup of tea.]

And so is Nico. Even if he doesn't always seem like it at first. And you are more than qualified to meet my dad. He's one of the nicer gods.

[And by nicer he means a lot less likely to turn you into a potted plant or fry you into a grease spot.]

[demigoth]

What did you tell them? As in, everyone?!

[sonofacesius]

That you're a nice person?

It's utterly horrifying I know. Totally spoils your image.

....And I'm totally broadcasting this arent I?

Sorry. I kind of forgot that?

Private

[demigoth]

Apollo has so much to answer for.

Re: Private

[sonofacesius]

For helping me spoil your despondent emo image?

Lemme see if I can get you a Vader costume or something. Maybe an extra swishy black robe.

[demigoth]

You like my despondent emo image.

[sonofacesius]

I love your despondent emo image.

But you know, if you ever decide you want to swap that black swishy emo cloak for a neon blue on or something, that's okay too.

I want you to be you.

[demigoth]

I could pull off cyberpunk.

[sonofacesius]

You'd look pretty good in that actually. Not that I don't love your style already.

[Says the guy with absolutely no style who is probably wearing colors that clash and blinded the Aphrodite cabin.]

[ordinar]

The last time I came in contact with a god, my skin started growing a weird fungus and I went totally insane.

So...as long as your dad doesn't do anything like that, it's cool.

[divasmio]

I won't, I promise :)

That sounds more like my brother Dionysus' area, anyway.

[sonofacesius]

Dad!

He's not wrong though. That's totally Mr. D's area.

[That and wine and partying. Judging from their last meet up Wille, you had that part down.]

....Dad. meet Wilhelm. He's over in Thorne. He helped me out when I spent too much time in Nocwich. It's this place without sunlight.

Thanks for that by the way. Needing to photosynthesize or whatever. Real cool.

[ordinar]

[Let's not talk about that night...]

Dionysus...

Which one is he again?

[sonofacesius]

[Will was most definitely not going to let you forget that night Wilhelm, it was beautiful. Hilarious. Nonstop fun.]

The god of wine and madness. He's uh.....

[How did one describe Mr. D? The god defied description]

Well, he's currently sober. And not that much fun. He sort of went after one of Zeus' off limit nymphs and is now in charge of us demigods back home. Wine is a no go for the next.....you know, I honestly don't remember how many years he has left. 50? 60? Either way he's stuck with us and his diet coke. Imagine a forcibly sober alcoholic god.

[ordinar]

RIP.

What do you mean he's in charge of you?

[sonofacesius]

Well at Camp we have Chiron, he's the Activities Director. But we also have Mr. D. Dionysus. He's the Camp Director, like. In charge.

Almost never calls anyone by their actual name, perpetual bad mood, threatens immolation constantly. I kind of miss it.

[ordinar]

Wait, there's a whole camp of you guys?

[That's right, hadn't Will said he has a lot of siblings? Had — he'd lost some too. Wilhelm's memory of their conversation at the vampire party is a little spotty thanks to all the wine he'd soaked in that night.]

[ordinar]

Oh. Hi.

Thanks for not turning me into mushroom fodder.

[divasmio]

Any time! Less work for me.

Thank you for saving my son when he was cut off from sunlight.

[ordinar]

No problem. Just took a little sugar, that's all.

He's already gotten me back.

[divasmio]

[ Oh, Apollo hopes he means sucrose. Surely he does. Kids these days don't say "Give me some sugar" when asking for affection, right? It would be a terrible shame if Will was cheating on Nico. Especially if this is the way Apollo finds out. ]

Interesting! Just needed to raise his blood sugar?

[ordinar]

[Jesus, he'd be mortified if he knew what Apollo was thinking. Nobody says shit like that anymore.]

Yeah, so I guess it's like store bought energy.
