re: considering eudio; also littlehades shenanigans

First of all, "Cuddle city"? That's a joke, right? It's bad enough you've made me fall in love with someone I've only dated once (and I can tell that will just end great), but now you want to send me to "Cuddle city?"

Please tell me that at least Will might be there. Or that a lot of people die. Then I'd have something to do.

Oh, and by the way, the "not my type" jokes are getting old.

Let me get this straight. Everything we've been through and you're complaining about being bored?

[ son of hades, you're un-freaking-believable. ]

Speaking from experience on being there once before, they try to avoid the whole mass death thing. [ and if Percy's being honest, it does get.. too relaxing, too quiet, too normal. but still! it's the break he really doubts they'll ever get at home. ] I never thought Annabeth would be there the first time, or Rachel. Or even Clarisse. Who knows? Will could show up.

[deathkid]

Sounds like you'll be pretty comfortable. [ given all the chicks on the tdm, percy could be swimming in affection... ] It's been quiet at camp for, the most part.

[ if you don't consider a zitty-faced apollo showing up with a 12-year-old daughter of demeter. but after the titan war and then the war against gaea, apollo being a bit whiny seems like hardly an issue at all. ]

Will would probably approve of me being there. He's always saying I need to work on my people skills.

[ripstides]

It's not a death sentence. You could be comfortable there, too. [ maybe if he opens his eyes and stops being such a brat, he'll see that. ...or maybe Percy should work on his patience. ] See? You could work on polishing your people skills and I can work on dulling mine down. Everybody wins.

Camp will be waiting for you when you get back.

[deathkid]

I might be. It's still hard for me to be comfortable anywhere. [ that broody son-of-hades schtick is a hard one to buck. ] And Percy Jackson wanting to dull any of his skills. Alert the gods!

[ sarcasm, naturally. one of his best defenses. though what he needs to defend against, even he doesn't rightly know. ]

Camp will be waiting for me and New Rome will be waiting for you. We'll both reach our incentives, deal?

[ripstides]

You realize I'm trying to help you, right? [ gods forgive him, he almost wants to kick Nico to the wolves and let him fend for himself. ] Comfort isn't everything. When I first got to camp, it was the last place I wanted to be. Things change.

[ change is one of the few things they can count on. ]

Deal. Try not to be an old man by the time I get back. [ oh wait, Nico's already ancient on the inside. ]

[deathkid]

Percy, I lived in the Underworld for like a year, I can handle discomfort. It's other people I'm worried about. But if you want to help me, that's cool.

Unless of course that's a challenge you're offering me. [ cue the creepy grin he's so well known for. ]
