( voicetest ) finished the last olympian

[agapetos]

If you're going to keep me in this weird limbo headspace, at least send me somewhere. Anywhere.

I know that's not what you're used to hearing but I'll do it. Maybe I can - I don't know - I can right more wrongs that way. I don't think I deserve a second chance, but if you've got me here, then just maybe ...

[ She shakes her head. ]

If not, let me rest. Please.

[this is even more awkward since he did technically see her very recently. She was just a hallucination, and she was wearing the ruined armor she stole from Clarisse, but he saw her. So even though Percy knows this is the real Silena, it's still hard speaking to her]

Trying not to go crazy, more or less. Harder than it sounds.

[agapetos]

Sounds like it. [ She tries to chuckle but it comes out a bit forced. ]

In a place like this, I wouldn't be surprised. So many lost ... [ No. No. Silena, don't you cry again. ] And then just - coming back without warning.

[waterproofed]

It's... not something I get used to.

[agapetos]

I think the departed can be of some help later on. I hope I can do that, anyway.

[waterproofed]

Silena... things are getting weird. I know you want to help, but I've already got one girl with me who left the Fields of Asphodel.

[agapetos]

Of - of course. No, I know, it's silly to ask. I don't deserve it. I'll find some other way to make amends.

[waterproofed]

That's not what I meant, Silena. We had to free Thanatos, and I don't think he's going to let anyone else escape. I don't even know why he's letting Hazel stick around.

[agapetos]

You had to -

Oh, gods. The balance has been upset and nothing's been done to fix it? It must've been, um, grave circumstances. I don't think I've heard of that being done before.

[waterproofed]

Yeah. Like I said, things are a mess right now. We're going to fix it, though. Somehow.

[agapetos]

I believe it. Is everyone else mostly in one piece?

[waterproofed]

I haven't seen anyone from camp in over three years, Silena. I have no idea what's going on.

[agapetos]

[ And to think she had asked the question because she didn't want to hear about the casualties, belatedly realizing that such a question would lead to talking about the fallen. Oh, Silena, get it together. ]

I'm sorry! I - I didn't know. You're from a totally different plane of, like, existence than I am. You haven't even seen Annabeth?

[waterproofed]

No. Not in a long time. There's just me.

[agapetos]

But you're alive at least. I'm glad for that.

[waterproofed]

Thanks, Silena.
