video / seelie & unseelie
[hello, magic locket network. have a blond teen with a curious little scar at the corner of his mouth, currently seated in front of his locket with as much ease as if it were a computer. probably more than if it were a computer, to be quite honest -- he's never used a computer in his life, but he's pretty damn used to more supernatural methods of communication. at least this is way simpler than talking through rainbows.]
Hey, I'm Jason. I've told a few people about this whole exploration trip my own group was working on, so I figured I might as well give an update on how that's going.
[and behind him, over his shoulder, is luke, with his back to jason as he holds his own locket up to take in the height of the trees they linger beneath. in the background one can hear:] This is what you'd call a tree, La Rue —
[for the observant viewer, the area they're currently taking a breather in certainly isn't caer glaem or the immediately surrounding areas. it's a forest, sure, but even through the locket it's clearly unusual, the trees all awe-inspiringly enormous. their camp is little more than a few bags dropped off at the base of a gigantic trunk. three bags, to be specific, but gods know where the third member of their little party's gone off to.]
We've bounced around a lot but I think we've covered a pretty decent spread of this place so far. Compared everything to the maps we found and all that. I think so far it's safe to say that those are all pretty accurate. Those worms have been all over too, so I don't think that's a concentrated incident...
[luke's disappeared from the background, but his voice is loud as he stands in front of jason. (not that anyone can see him, but they can hear him loud and clear).] And Grace is choosing to talk to his locket than take in the scenery. C'mon, Grace. Wave for La Rue. You Ares kids always miss out on the whackiest stuff.
[jason, for his part, makes a valiant effort to keep a straight face and be the serious, responsible one here. he can't hep but crack a hint of a smile though, and he raises a hand slightly to indulge luke. and not that anyone can see, but luke wanders off to crane his neck so high to look at the canopy that it almost snaps.]
All that aside, it'd be good to hear how things are going back at the castle too, and maybe in the Unseelie place if any of you guys are feeling particularly talkative.
((ooc: blue is jason, orange is luke, replies are likely to be hijacked by luke (and nico) if they feel like it.))

video。YOU LOVE ME XOXO DAN HUMPHREY
[ luke disagrees, though. even though worms are better than flying monkeys, the worms he's dealt with are almost the size of him. he's starting to not like them very much. they're gross and slimy and they keep coming back for more of a fight, even when he thinks he's gutted them like a fish. ] I'm positive the big boys upstairs will be sure to throw a talking tree at us to break up the mutant worm infestation. [ he lifts his shoulders with an amused grin. he takes this all as seriously as one does when told mutant ninja turtles actually exist. ] It might be grasshoppers next.
[ all the weak animals they've all killed one time or two in their lives, coming back for vengeance. seems kind of stupidly poetic, hey? ]
video。omg take ur shit elsewhere gossip girl!!!!
well you know, even though everyone keeps calling them worms, they just look like serpents from the pits of hell to bucky. so there's that, at least. kinda seems like the sort of thing that hydra would have in some deep basement, waiting to deploy on the allies. ]
Hell. I'd take the tree, too. Least that can be chopped down or set on fire to shut its trap.
video。spreads the gossip that you made out with a hot dog
Unless it's one of those trees that just regenerates. [ luke's a party pooper. watch as he shrugs and thinks of the worst things in life. ] Still, I'd prefer the trees, too. It's only in those kid movies where they have literal mouths and eyes. [ even though he feels as though something is peering at him, now. these trees may not be alive with the sound of music, but luke definitely feels the hairs on his neck and arms bristle. ]
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
video。that's old news. no one cares anymore
Dunno what kinda pictures you're watchin', but I ain't never seen no trees with mouths and eyes.
[ i don't think. don't quote me on that. my knowledge of 30s cinema is p weak. ]
And, considerin' all the... [ he glances around and clears his throat ] queer stuff goin' on around here, hate to say that talkin' trees wouldn't be so surprisin'.
video。i'm going to quote you on this you half-virgin
Are you used to worse? [ talking trees, if luke wasn't so used to weird shit, like monsters and their ugly as hades faces, he thinks he'd be freaking out about gigantic, mutated worms and the possibility of trees having working eyes and mouths. but he just raises his eyebrows. ] Usually this stuff has people freaking out, unless they're used to talking trees and gigantic, killer worms.
video。you're a dick and i hate you
Guess you could say that... in a manner'a speakin'. [ not that he's used to talking trees and little fairies flying around or giant worms or whatever. ] It's weird, alright, but gettin' all excited about it ain't gonna solve a damn thing.
video。you love me
It's better than being down in the dumps, don't you think? Might as well make it worth our while before the shit really hits the fan. [ because these worms? they're so baby monsters. luke's dealt with real, terrifying monsters, and these guys are just the warm up. ]
video。no.
Dunno if it'll ever be worth it, but there ain't no use bein' upset about bein' here. Could be worse.
[ . . . ]
Could be better, too. But could definitely be worse.
video。yes.
You could be out here with the worms instead of being in the castle with these two idiots. [ he tries to capture jason and nico on his locket just because. he's being a shit, why not go the whole nine yards, even when his audience is somewhat occupied? ] That's what I call worse. [ or so he assumes bucky's in the castle. either way, at least bucky isn't out in the middle of nowhere with two demigods who, for all intents and purposes, might try and ditch him in his sleep. ]
I'm Luke.
