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. 🫡 )

Not me.

[ There's a long pause before Apollo answers. ]

That's good to hear, at least.

[ Apollo's not sure he believes Nico. His mistakes have been so numerous, so far reaching... surely he's hurt Nico in some way, even if neither of them know how. In Apollo's mind, he sees Jason's face — So young, so full of potential, so much life ahead of him — ]

Will's told me about his boss, and she sounds like a reasonable person. If this affects his job, I'll talk to her.

[demigoth]

You're bending the rules for him?

[divasmio]

I'm doing what I should have been doing for all of my kids this whole time.

[demigoth]

You ... changed.

[divasmio]

[ Apollo considers his words carefully, and there's some time before he answers. ]

I've had my divinity revoked twice before, but being Lester was the first time I was ever really, truly mortal. It was the first time I could see the Olympians from an outside point of view.

I didn't like what I saw, and realized I was part of the problem.

[demigoth]

If it makes you feel any better, I'd rather have you turn up than almost any other god.

[divasmio]

It does.

Thank you, Nico. That means a lot.

[demigoth]

Don't go spreading it around.
