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. 🫡 )

Pluto is still him, so I think it still counts. You just have to catch him in the right mood.

[inthenameofhades]

I can't imagine that's very often.

Maybe if Mother's around.

[demigoth]

I guess. Persephone doesn’t like me very much, so it’s always tense when I see them both in the same space.

[inthenameofhades]

I must admit, I'm having a hard time understanding why Mother doesn't like you. Does she really dislike demigods so much where you're from?

[demigoth]

Because I'm not her kid, okay?

[inthenameofhades]

Yes, but that's no reason not to like you.

...Wait. You're not thinking that Mother follows that mortal custom of only having one partner, are you?

[demigoth]

I am NOT asking her if she does. I've already done time as a dandelion, no thanks.

I don't think she likes being reminded that Father doesn't. Who would? If Will was dating other people, I'd hate them too.

[inthenameofhades]

There's definitely a few things with that statement that are certainly different where I'm from, but...you'd really hate someone else Will loved? Not just be a bit unhappy about it, but...actually hate them?

[demigoth]

[ When you put it like that... ]

I guess...

Couldn't I hate them for AWHILE?

[ He knows he shouldn't hold grudges, and that it's hypothetical, but... Nico wants to hold a grudge preemptively. ]

[inthenameofhades]

Well you wouldn't need my approval to hate them for a while. Will's opinion would be rather more important, I'd think. You'd have to ask him.

Though usually it's best if you're not like Lady Hera about it...

[demigoth]

Will doesn't get grudges. I don't think he's capable of it.

I'm definitely NOT like Lady Hera. I don't think anyone's like her.

[inthenameofhades]

You have clearly done very well in your choice of partner. Which is especially important if you're only going to have one!

I haven't met her myself. But she...doesn't seem to do well with Lord Uncle Zeus's trysts. Maybe she'd actually prefer it if he followed the mortal custom.

[demigoth]

It was more his choice than mine. It was mine too. Will's out of my league.

I don't know her, but she knows some of my friends.

[inthenameofhades]

Out of your league? You on...different teams? Is that an issue?

[Nico your brother has never most of your very modern slang]

[demigoth]

No?

[ Hang on. Will's bisexual, so that means the answer is maybe yes. Sometimes, yes? ]

Yes?

[ Oh, and then there's the games at Camp, but since they're both head counselors, everyone has just accepted that Cabins 13 and 7 are in a demi-permanent alliance. ]

Technically. But the Apollo and Hades cabins are allies now.

[inthenameofhades]

...You know, I think I'm actually more confused than I was before you answered.

[demigoth]

I'm more confused than I was before you asked.

[inthenameofhades]

Then...maybe let's agree not to talk about this topic any longer, lest the both of us become even more confused about whatever it is we've been talking about.

[demigoth]

Deal.
