Apping him to a memory loss game

[dreadwolves]

...

You think this to be some sort of joke? Sending me off to some place where I will lose my memories yet again?

[I want you dead, his eyes say.]

When you fall flat on your face, I will have the last laugh.

[Now excuse him while he stands here and broods.]

[He sympathizes, even if their situations don't sound exactly the same. They're disturbingly similar enough.]

[Dryly:] I have been given little choice but to go along with it.

[Totally familiar territory. He would laugh at the irony if he didn't want to magically fist things to death.]

So like a quest- yeah definitely gonna restate the fact that this sucks.

[Suddenly some of his experiences aren't so bad- in hindsight because they were pretty stupid when he was going through them.]

Do you- I don't know- get to pick or something? Like say 'I want this totally cool memory not this crap one'?

[dreadwolves]

[A bit of an amused snort at the question.]

Do you really believe they would make it that easy? Do they not prefer it when we are suffering?

[seawarding]

[Wow- dude you're pretty much explaining his life when it comes to dealing with demanding gods.]

Yeah they don't make it easy, do they? But I mean- last time I got mine wiped Hera left me the memory of my girlfriend Annabeth- so that's not super bad or anything. Maybe you'll be as lucky?

[Of course he had no idea who she was just that she was important and her name was Annabeth.]

[dreadwolves]

[Memory lossed, suffering, solidarity.]

I think the point is for me to remember something, "totally shit", as she would put it.

[seawarding]

And I'm going to assume you have a lot of 'totally shit' memories to choose from?

[Cuz he sure does. Namely Tartarus.]

[dreadwolves]

Don't we all?

[In other words, "yes".]
