one ﴾ text ﴿ seelie, unlocked
( she wakes up in the morning and her bedside is icy, uninhabited. she expected to open her eyes and see percy at the window, plagued by nightmares and being thoughtful enough to not wake her -- but when annabeth sits up and looks around, she's met only with the soft sounds of her dog yawning as it warms her feet.
she fears, automatically. but she still waits to make a post on the lockets. she waits, she spams percy's phone, she hushes her dog's cries at missing its dad. it's when she get up out of bed, and sees his shard resting on their bedside table, a note written telling of a goodbye that makes her heart weight down deep into her stomach, that she's confident enough that percy isn't returning to the room. she opens up her locket. )
If you knew him, Percy Jackson has left Drabwurld.
- Annabeth.
( short, sweet, simple. text, because it's easier than getting choked up in communication. )

text. help me i'm dying
you couldn't have known. there's nothing to apologize for.
she'd already died when she was here the first time. i'm not holding my breath, but... it's not impossible. this place has a lot of magic to it. resurrection apparently included.
text. babies 8(
Yeah, definitely.
I don't want to get your hopes up, but I also don't want you to lose hope.
Thinking Percy might come back is sort of the only thing that's keeping me going right now.
Either way, I hope your friend finds peace wherever she ends up.
I hope we all do.
text. gathers them up and holds them forever.
i'm lydia, by the way.
text. small smart angels huff huff
Ladies just gotta keep on keeping on, I guess.
I'm Annabeth Chase. Seelie side.
Lydia is a pretty name.
text. girl im gon' die with them i cannot live here any longer goodbye
( maybe you'll get that reference. she hopes. )
the circumstances are a major downer but it's nice to meet you anyway. and thank you, annabeth is too. it's not one you hear often.
also seelie.
how long have you been here?
text. same huff huff bffs on the rise
Girls.
Nice to meet you too, Lydia.
And thanks.
Not just for the compliment, but everything.
Not too long. I arrived at the latest feast, almost a month ago.
What about you?
text.
i've been here for... ten months or so? yeah, sounds about right.
text.
It's pretty interesting to hear where people are from, but.
Sometimes I miss people I'm more used to.
No kidding?
I'm not sure if I should be impressed or offer condolences.
That's a long time to be away from home.
text.
i've had weird vision-dreams of my future that felt like i'd gone back. i guess it's kind of like a visit. it hasn't been so bad, though. annoyingly lacking in smartphones and my car, but the fairies gave me my dog, and some of my friends from home are still here. i've met new people, too. it's exhausting sometimes, but i've learned a lot. which is a bonus. up my language fluency to four, check.
text.
I miss jeans like I miss my mother.
( athena mom. not the step one. )
Really? That's pretty interesting.
Is that like when I hear about people falling asleep for a month, or something?
I've pretty much lived in the library since I've got here, I think I read a little about that, somewhere.
They seem to be pretty nice to us, I guess.
You know, for captors.
text.
( one day, that conversation will happen, and everything will be awkward. )
pretty similar, yeah. the duration is different sometimes, but it's about the same effect. maybe the same cause. i haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet. there's still a lot here that needs more researching, stones left unturned.
the seelie don't really like to be considered captors. they may have gotten us to agree to this with trickery and talking in circles, but we agreed to it... they have us on a technicality.
