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.

Lucky guess. Call it a skill.

You're gonna wanna hit the books and brush up on your local lore, because you're working with a whole new pantheon here. There was an incident recently with one of the resident trickster gods. Something provoked it, or let it out, or something. Not long after, the Singularity started throwing a temper tantrum. This whole storm... we're thinking it's got something to do with that. It's a bad omen, but probably nothing to do with your whole... family situation.

Just exactly how many of you are running around here now, anyway?

[areou]

Great, as if the whole Greek vs Roman pantheon bullshit wasn't confusing enough

( ur not tricking her into reading a book, dean )

Bad omens and a whole bunch of demigods popping up sounds about par for the fucking course
Maybe it's coincidence, maybe not, but we do tend to attract ... unwanted attention
There's five of us that I know of, plus Apollo

[righteously]

I wouldn't sweat it, this whole local god mess has been a pain in the ass since way before you guys showed up. The Thorne nerds have been speculating on it for a couple years.

Although, I guess it is pretty weird to get so many of you guys in one Summoning. I wonder what the deal is with that.

Anyway, you're all gonna start attracting unwanted attention no matter what now, just by being a Summoned. You might wanna come up with some kinda game plan on how to keep your heads down, because this place... it can get real complicated, real quick. Not the kind of complicated you can fight your way out of, either. Trust me.

( He's been browsing the other conversations for intel, and... yeah some of it is a big ol yikes. )

[areou]

Yeah, got it, we're working on it

( and by we she means annabeth. as for why so many demigods happened to show up at one time... )

There haven't been any weird prophecies recently, have there?

[righteously]

Depends on your definition of 'weird' and 'prophecy' and 'recently'.

[areou]

( all of those quotes do not bode well. )

Weird as in unsettling, ominous, vaguely threatening
Prophecy as in some bullshit cryptic poem foretelling the future
Recently as in, like, the past month I guess

[righteously]

The creepy jester god we dealt with recently sent us this ominous weirdo message through a magic seed:

They reap what you sow.

Still up in the air on what the hell that means. Probably not related.

[areou]

Yeah, in my experience? Never say never

But, hey, the god of prophecy is here now! What could go wrong!

( she's trying real hard for sarcasm here. )

[righteously]

Oh, thank god.
More gods for more god stuff.
Yay.

( he is not trying at all. )

[areou]

"More gods for more god stuff" story of my fucking life

[righteously]

Me too, sister. Me too.
