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.

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

[ It's more that she sees no need to shoulder the blame for a bunch of children who can't be bothered to just text each other directly. This group chat isn't exactly optional unless willing to completely disengage, and frankly, it isn't her responsibility to turn her own connection off because pissy high schoolers have had a superiority complex pounded into their heads over some stupid fairytales from five thousand years ago.

Julie is just pointing out that no one gets to rewrite the story to turn her into the villain. All she did was say exactly what everyone else who was having this bullshit forced on them was already thinking. This precious little Clarisse of theirs is the one who escalated everything; Julie has no obligation to cower and run with her tail between her legs when she's the one who isn't fresh out of the summoning pool. ]

🆒

[ Perhaps someday, Julie and Apollo will be in a position to talk this out directly. Maybe not this particular issue — because Apollo sure hopes nobody cares about this argument after tomorrow — but at least about what's going on in her head (and the demigods') and how to communicate and de-escalate if this issue comes up again.

For the time being, though, she seems to get what he's going for here. He considers a thumbs-up emoji, but decides against it. He's fine letting her have the last word. ]
