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. 🫡 )

I know plenty about Nadine.

It's not about fear. It's about stopping and using your brain. Do you have one?

[princessvegas]

You clearly don't know dick, or else you'd know I'm not just "your boss's friend".

Do you? I was here before you, I'll be here long after you're gone, and I am not the one. Why don't you go off and restock some of MY products?

[ Oh, did Nadine not share that? That the apothecary's primary product line is Julie's brainchild and equally belongs to her? Oops. ]

[sonofacesius]

Wow you really have a narcissistic, mildly sociopathic complex don't you?

I really, really don't care Julie. I'm here to treat the wounded and help people. So either help and don't be a jerkwad about it, or get out of my way.

[princessvegas]

Where's the lie? Nothing I said is anything other than the truth.

Fuck you. You have no idea what I've done. Why don't you ask around and find out who set up camp in the Horizon to heal folks after half of us almost got ritually killed? Helping people doesn't mean I'm gonna take shit from anyone.

[sonofacesius]

So you're not completely self absorbed. Great. I'm sure everyone you treated is extremely thankful you are there.

We've both established that we both want to help and have skills. It also doesn't mean you have to tone down the attitude but I can tell you it certainly helps when treating people.

Or making friends.

[princessvegas]

Seems like maybe I ain't the one you should be preaching to.

[sonofacesius]

If you mean Clarisse, she already knows where I stand. But I'm happy to give it a shot. If you'll agree too?

[princessvegas]

All I'm doing is matching energy. If she's chill, I'm chill. But turning the other cheek just means you get slapped twice, and I don't play that game.

[sonofacesius]

........

Great.

Private

[demigoth]

Crazier than flying chainsaws.

Re: Private

[sonofacesius]

I'd take flying chainsaws at this point honestly.

[demigoth]

Give her five minutes.

So she knows your boss?

[sonofacesius]

Yeah. I think they're from the same world. Nadine's not like that though, I promise.

[demigoth]

Okay. Just be careful who pours poison in her ears.

[sonofacesius]

I will be. I hope Nadine knows me well enough by now to understand that I don't take things lightly.

If she doesn't, well, then I guess I know where I stand.

[demigoth]

On your feet?

[sonofacesius]

Perks of being a child of Apollo.
