[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.))

[ there's a look that flickers across bucky's face that comes too quickly to try and hide. it's masked, sort of, when he looks away and scrubs a hand over his face. but, he pushes through, looks back up and forces a smile. ]

Doesn't much matter anymore.

It always matters.

Nah, kid, it doesn't. Not when there ain't a lick you can do about it.

[he is often the group realist, especially compared to percy, but you're kinda killing his optimistic buzz here.]

Have you tried?

[ sorry, buddy. he's trying not to and to get away from the topic. ]

Nothin' to try. Anything I could've wanted is back home where I'll never get it. I can survive here on what I need; my wants don't matter anymore.

[well, he can't really argue that you could just try once back home if you're about to die, but...]

You're the one who called this place a second chance, right? That doesn't mean you have to just live like a Spartan and be satisfied with that. You're allowed to want something for yourself.

[ he laughs outright, then, shaking his head. ]

I'm a simple kinda guy. All that extra stuff isn't much use to me. Didn't wanna die, so I guess I got that want. [ s h r u g s ] Sorta. Seems like enough.

I guess if it's good enough for you.

[s h r u g right back at you.]

[ he doesn't know if it's good enough or not. just that it is. he makes an idle gesture toward the locket. ]

What do you want, then?

[ only fair to share, right? ]

[no hesitation here. he has nothing to hide.]

I don't mind helping them with their fight, but I only want to keepy my friends here safe and get us back home to our own fight.

[ it sounds so familiar that it's almost funny. but, he makes no comment on it.

instead, he almost mutters under his breath: ]

One fight to the other. Seems like no one can get it together. [ then louder: ] What's goin' on back home for you?

[...you asked for it.]

The gods are all having some extreme Greek/Roman multiple personality disorder and are thus totally useless, the demigods are those pantheons are about to go to war, monsters were running rampant because the Doors of Death were open and they could just come back immediately, and the earth herself is about to wake up and destroy everything.

[yeah, he gave up on the whole secrecy thing.]

[ he just sort of stares blankly, blinks once, then frowns. ]

What??

It's complicated.
