At least yours is still waffling. Mine's latched on and isn't going anywhere.

They don't get it do they? Seems to be the general consensus around these parts.

[ A small grin. ] How've you been otherwise?

Not unless it's involves their overly active imaginations and wish fullfillment, no. They don't much of anything.

[ for a while there, it wasn't bad. but now annabeth's just kind of bitter. ]

Saying 'I've been better' would be a cop-out, wouldn't it?[ even she can help but smile when thalia grins at her, though. shrugging a little. ] Not much more to say. I'm alone on a horror ship. And besides that, alive.

You look good, though.

Thanks. The silver crown doesn't really go with the whole look, but I honor my Goddess by wearing it. [ A small joke, but it's nice to see Annabeth and to slip in a laugh here and there. She chuckles quietly before her brow furrows out of concern. ]

What about this horror ship?

You wear it well.

[ gods she missed you. but then she sighs, runs her hand through her hair. ]

The ship's called Tranquility. Space ship, that says its taking us to a way for us to get home. Percy was there for a bit but... [ she presses her lips into a thin line, still not doing well from that. ] It's weird, too. The ship changes, makes it so you can get lost for weeks at a time. It changes to work with your worst nightmares, I've heard. Never get hungry, thirsty...pirates attacked a couple of weeks ago. But yeah, horror ship.

Jackson, huh. [ With her arms folded, she gently nudges Annabeth's arm with hers, a gesture of comfort and "hey, sorry." ]

Any word on who's behind it? Anyone we know? 'Cause if you need me, I could ask for permission ...

Yeah. He was there before me, so when I arrived it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

[ Which was almost why it was worse - he helped her get comfortable there, helped her meet people, make friends, and then he left. Or, more so, the ship took him back home and left her. ]

No, no one we know. No one from our world, actually. [ She gives Thalia a small smile, a sort of thanks. ] Wouldn't want you to end up there anyway. You'd hate it. We're only allowed on certain floors and certain rooms, and you can't even see space unless you go to the flight deck. [ She can't imagine Thalia being cooped up in a space ship all day and night. ]

[ Of course she just wants to give her mun a kick in the pants - if the writer's going to keep her around like this, she might as well be productive and stand by her friend. But the prospect of a life on a ship in space and in an enclosed area is hardly pleasing. It makes her stomach churn and all she does is wrinkle her nose to show her discomfort with the very idea. ]

If I'm a mess in a flying bus, I don't think anyone should be would want to be near me in space. On a horror ship. Just - do what you gotta do to stay safe, alright? And come back to our world safely when your time's done.

[ she could add the fact that people are going insane and disappearing at random, but she figures she makes her point. ]

I'll make it home, one way or another. There's too much I need to do.

[ A beat, and then: ]

Do you know if you're heading anywhere?

I'm doomed to wander through the nexus and "meme" things for now, until my keeper decides to expand her game quota.

[ She shrugs, not too fussed with the idea, to be honest. Percy did mention that they had opportunities to meet people they wouldn't otherwise in these new positions. As for Luke, well - he's another story. ]

But I don't doubt you'll pull through. Never without your plans.

There are worse places to wander. Some of those memes aren't too bad - but that'll depend on your mun.

[ tastes change from time to time, annabeth. c'mon now. ]

I'm trying, that's for sure. [ whether or not she's getting anywhere is a different question entirely. ]

[ She casts a dirty look somewhere over her shoulder, likely a hint to the mun, but really, she knows she's helpless and that really grinds her gears. ]

You know what? We should do something. In one of those meme things, if you want. Be nice for you to get a distraction and I can stretch my legs a little bit. Say the word.

You're going to let me pick?

[ that gets a little smile out of her. very unlike thalia, that, but annabeth can't really complain. ]

I'll look around, though. I could use a distraction. Did you have anything in mind?

[ Her mouth twists into tiny smirk. There's a catch, just a small one. ] You pick, I'll approve.

Maybe different adventures. Been hearing things about visiting other worlds, though no horror ships in space for me, thanks.

[ she wouldn't expect anything less. ]

I'll try and find something to your liking, then.

[ annabeth nods a little at that, thinking back on her own experiences with memes. ]

Guess it'd depend on the world you'd want to visit. A lot of them aren't very...nice. Monsters and problems of their own. [ a.k.a. basically every meme on bakerstreet that doesn't involve sex. ]

Other problems, huh. [ there are memes on bakerstreet that don't involve sex? color us surprised. ]

What, like, ghosts? We can take on ghosts. Or one of those dumb alternate universe things where we own a coffeeshop or something.

Plenty of them to go around. [ mostly just texts from last night-esque things. :/ ]

I was talking more zombie-apocalypse sort of things, but ghosts and coffee shops I think we can handle.

Darn right we can. I'll have my people send word to your people and we'll reconvene. [ That's no fun considering that she doesn't own a cellphone. :| Someone make an Iris Message from Last Night meme. Well, maybe not. ]

Though, uh, on the subject of zombies, I can totally take them down too. You aim for the head, always. Easy.

Sounds like a plan.

[ all you demi-gods without phones. what is annabeth gonna do with y'all. ]

It's not the zombies I'm worried about. It's the surviving afterward.
