dear_mun | reserved at themainframe, probably being taken from after the titan's curse

So. We're back to this again. Except this time, you want to send me to an place with a bunch of monsters that may or may not want to attack me, because I've been chosen to help save the world, instead of sending me to the city or the boat.

Right. Sounds just like home, except for the whole "not being able to die" thing, which I've gotta admit is pretty cool. Being totally without my powers? Not cool. Neither's being away from camp and all my friends - except maybe Annabeth, which, okay, isn't so bad, even if I'd kind of rather at least she was at home helping people get ready, it's not like Luke and Kronos are going to go on vacation just because I'm being shipped off somewhere, but- look, I should at least tell someone where I'm going before you do this. Like, you know, Chiron? Tyson and Grover? My mom?

[S I G H.] ... You're not listening, are you?

This time, just don't take me from right before the prophecy's really supposed to kick off, okay? That was bad enough the first time, we really don't need to do it again.

Wellllllll, you could be taken from right after your friends plummet to their death/not death.

Just, thought that was worth mentioning.

Yeah, fortunately, that's not really on the table.

[Let's not talk about how you don't actually know Piper then, BUT WHATEVER SHE WILL SOLDIER ON.]

Pretty much Tuesday though.

[Sorry Piper, Percy is the king of landing himself in awkward situations. B(]

Exactly. I'm sure I'll end up feeling right at home after the whole "where am I and when can I get out of here" thing wears off.

[Boys having no memory of her is basically her forte, lbr.]

Powerless is crap though.

[This is also true, sigh you kids.]

I know. Apparently, no one else is going to have powers or whatever either, but that doesn't mean the monsters won't. We're getting assigned our own monsters to protect us? But I'd kind of rather have something I can actually fight with.

[Coming from somebody who would just as soon be without her "power"...]

How badly would I be jinxing things if I pointed out it could be worse?

Considering my luck, pretty badly.

I figured as much.

[Story of a demigod's life, Greek or Roman.]

What was that about not being able to die?

Apparently we're all kind of being turned into computer programs? So the worst that can happen is that you just kind of lie around for a couple hours before you, I don't know, reboot yourself? [... Close enough, right?]

[She wants to comment. Really, she does.]

[...but, Percy, she didn't even understand half of what you just said. Computer Programs? Reboot? And the worst part is that she's slightly embarassed to admit it. Like these were things she should know.]

I...um...that sounds...awful? I think?

[Watch it just fly right over his head.]

I mean, it's better then getting mauled by a hellhound without anyone even knowing where I ran off to.

[Oh, Percy. And hellhounds, she understands, so that puts the conversation back on track for her.]

Yeah, try not to do that.

Maybe you should start telling people before you run off.

Why is that worse?

Because I'd be freaking out about the end of the world being literally two days away, and not like, two years.

What's the difference? [ Because it's still going to end ]

I've got a little more time on my hands to figure out a way back home.

It's ending. Why would you want to?

Because I'm the person who can stop it. Probably.

Right after Titan's Curse, huh?

[ There might be a wistful little smile. ]

Looking like it.

I spose there's no good time to be taken but hey. My mun has both of us falling into Vatheon instead of tartarus in a couple of days, so I can't complain. [ shrugs ]

Wait, what?

Oh, huh, you don't know about that?

Not the Vatheon part, what's Vatheon? Another game?
