Homeless, kind of game-hunting

[asthehero]

Okay, tell me again how this is my fault? I was kinda enjoying my afterlife up there in your head without the whole "game" thing if you really wanna know.

So. You don't really feel like taking me back to the sex place. And you don't really feel like taking me back to the Norse gods place, so…what's your next plan? No, really, I'm very curious.

Yeah...yeah, that's what I thought.

Do I--you know what? No, I don't want to know. I'm not asking.

[asthehero]

You? Not asking a question? That's a first.

[yearrounder]

Ha ha. I'd rather not know anything about that, thank you very much.

[asthehero]

[And it clicks.] Ah. Yeah, definitely not one of her better choices personally speaking. Weird...

[There's a pause.] But I guess anywhere she decides to put me is gonna be weird. You know. Considering.

[yearrounder]

Not... necessarily.

[asthehero]

...what are you thinking?

[yearrounder]

The place where I am. It's... okay, it's terrible but it's also not that strange for people who, uh, yeah. It's a weird version of the Underworld. That's... all I'm going to say about that.

[asthehero]

[He just raises both eyebrows. Uh, yes that is pretty terrible. But on the other hand...]

How long have you been stuck there?

[yearrounder]

Uh...just a little more than three years.

[asthehero]

Three years. [Well. He sure did miss a lot, didn't he?] Is it just you?

[yearrounder]

...yeah. For a long time.

[ripstides]

Trust me, you don't want to goad them. Or tell them about how much you're okay with staying put.

[asthehero]

Yeah but here's the thing. It's not like she listens to me anyway, so if I tell her how much I don't want to go somewhere...[See where this is actually going, Percy?]

[ripstides]

I guess you're screwed either way. [ he has such conflicted feelings about talking to Luke but things ended how they should have, tragic as it was, so all things considered he can try to be civil. ] Where are you headed?

[asthehero]

Can't say I'm surprised. [It's fine, Percy, he's just as awkward about it. You know. Considering there's no way of really saying "sorry I tried murdering you multiple times."]

Dunno yet. Don't really have a place in mind so far. She's in the "browsing" phase.

[rues]

You can go straight to Tartarus for all I care.

[ she will not hesitate to give you a head start. with her fist. ]

[asthehero]

[Well hello to you too, Clarisse.]

Been there and back a couple of times. [Literally. So instead just have a charming grin. Yeah. Yeah he doesn't care that much anymore.]

[rues]

[ yeah. and she's not buying that charm. he's full of shit, if you ask her. ]

Great, then you'll already know your way around. Say hi to the Drakon for me. It was a pleasure killing it.

[asthehero]

[Now see this? This was why he wasn't quite sure about this whole "coming back" thing. Good job, Luke, you get to deal with consequences.]

I could always bring it back with me and you could say hi yourself. [No, you are still full of shit, sir.]

[rues]

[ don't get her started on silena. or chris. or everything else she could potentially blame him for. which is basically just everything. ]

Wouldn't so much be saying hi as it would be stabbing you both in the face.

[asthehero]

[He would agree that he couldn't blame her but come on. It's totally not all his fault. Just...mostly.]

Gotta love how hostile Ares' kids are. [He actually just reaches up to tap his cheek where the scar is.] Pretty sure that's not necessary.

[rues]

[ she and percy once had a conversation about overkill and how she doesn't believe in it, so she begs to differ. come to wonderland, luke, and she will introduce you to her rocket launcher. ]

Pretty sure I don't care.
