Oh hi new PJ muse

[iguanasolution]

Uhm... mundane are you-

[A sigh as Frank runs a hand through his hair he doesn't even.]

Are you sure about this? I mean, I'm not your usual type or anything, you've admitted as much. And you aren't even sure about the icons, and you have so much to reread and- yeah, I don't like being a downer but seriously.

...Are you even listening to me?

Comments

[waterproofed]

Frank...? Hey, man, it's good to see you!

[sophos]

Most of the time, they don't like to listen, regardless of what you have to say.

[iguanasolution]

Percy! [A little sheepish grin, at least being out means he gets to talk to some of his friends.]

Good to see you too, how is your mundane treating you?

[iguanasolution]

And these are the guys and girls that are supposed to order us around? At least the God pretended to care from time to time.

[waterproofed]

Oh, not bad. I'm about to participate in the Space Olympics, so that should be fun. I miss you and everyone else, though. It's been forever since I've seen you.

ohai

[keeperfromtheflame]

[Have a slightly shy, but no less amused smile in return.]

Judging by the silence, I'm going to guess no.

Guess we're in the same boat.

[sophos]

They do good things on occasion. To be fair.

[agitates]

To be fair, you aren't saying much worth listening to. [ don't mind him. he's just.. well, he's Octavian. enough said, really. ]

[iguanasolution]

None of us are there with you? [A pause.]

Wait, Space Olympics?

oh hi mysterious person

[iguanasolution]

Guess we are. Could have way worse company.

[He can't help but grin.] I like the username.

[waterproofed]

Nope. Annabeth left a while ago, and so did a daughter of Zeus I met from another world.

Yeah. Everyone's making a big deal outta the drug tests, but it might be fun. As long as I don't get bitten by an alien again.

[keeperfromtheflame]

[She glances downward. Hands subconsciously falling to the pocket where she kept the cloth bundle. Something far more precious than any gem she could ever summon.]

I still can't fully believe you asked me.

[iguanasolution]

Guessing they are treating you well then? [Well, at least that's a good thing. Annabeth deserves that and more, she always treated him nicely even when they had just met.]

Mundane says you're leaving on top of a turtle...? [Said with a 'not sure if joking' tone because his mundane has a weird sense of humor and how does one live on a turtle to begin with.]

[iguanasolution]

[He doesn't roll his eyes but it's a close thing.]

Friendly as always, Octavian. I guess some things never change.

[iguanasolution]

Drug tests. For Space Olympics. Not getting bitten by an alien again.

What kind of place has your mundane sent you to?

[iguanasolution]

I can't think of anyone that would do a better job.

[Or anyone else he could and would trust his life with. Anyone who could see Hazel with his eyes would understand.]

You trusted me with your secrets, I trusted you with mine. I'm... sorry if it was too much a burden, Hazel.

[keeperfromtheflame]

No, Frank, you have nothing to apologize for. I'm honored.

[She was just afraid of failing him. Daughter of Pluto, come back from the dead, entrusted with a soul? It was practically a recipe for disaster. Yet, how could she say no? He was right; they'd trusted each other with their deepest secrets. It seemed...right.]

[waterproofed]

[is it a bad sign that all of this isn't even weird for him anymore?]

Some sentient castle called Paradisa. Lots of weird stuff like that happens around here.

[sophos]

For the most part. She's made some... questionable decisions and toyed with bad ideas. But it could be worse. [And she could be in Tartarus \8D/]

[She half snorts.] Yeah. An actual, giant turtle. I've seen the face, and it's about a six hour cart ride from the city to the shell's edge, if that helps you place the size of it.

[veryconvincing]

Probably not. It looks like we're caught for now.

[kelpful]

Honestly? Probably not even a little bit.

[Percy grins] Hey man, it's good to see you.

[iguanasolution]

[Hazel was a daughter of Pluto, but that wasn't all he was to Frank's eyes. Just like he hoped to be more than Mars' son to everyone's eyes- he still resented his dad a bit for the way he had been claimed, but he doubted anyone would hold it against him.]

We're just sharing secrets, right? Just doing what couples are supposed to do. We just do it a little bit more dramatically because demigods have a flair for that.

[iguanasolution]

Not sure if I should say I'm sorry or congratulate you? You seem to be having fun.

[iguanasolution]

Seems to be the rule around here. Yay. [We like our Annabeth alive and on Earth tyvm.]

I'm Canadian, remember? Everything is at a six hour cart ride to me. [Kidding. ...Not really good at it.]

[iguanasolution]

[Even Piper, with her charmspeak? Man, if Frank had any hopes of getting out they just went out of the window.]

At least I'm getting to see the team again.
