[ alright, time to be annoying for the sake of rounding up the troops. the demigod troops, to be exact, but it's those particular hooligans that she's been feeling a desperate need to round up and talk to for some time now. too much has gone on, and there hasn't been enough talking about it, as far as she's concerned. so, maybe she's hoping being the resident not-demigod camper might get her some pull for this kind of thing. she'll even get on camera and glow menacingly if she has to, but. hopefully she won't. for their sakes, of course!! that ish is crazy intimidating, and she doesn't actually want to scare them into meeting up. but yeah, so. anyway... ]

Have you ever picked
up an awful habit from
someone you know well?

Apollo always
writes terrible haikus and
sometimes I do, too.

So now I'm writing
to tell my demigod friends -
it's time to meet up.

I don't care where, but
if you say no, I'll never
stop the haiku-talk.

Let's pick a time and
place right now to avoid this
horrible fate. 'Kay?

It's good stuff to know. You may not be Jane Sportsball, but you can be Dana Defense or something.

[ It's a lame joke, but she'll stick by it. ]

[truesight]

[ it still makes her snort a laugh, so hey, party on ]

I'm really okay with being Dana Defense. Better than Sally Sidelines. It drives me crazy knowing you guys - well, you guys, my camper friends from home - are out fighting the good fight and I'm ..not. So. Yeah, alright. I'll bug Percy at this meeting, maybe.

[mesmerism]

Hey now, it has its downsides too.

[ Like their smell attracting monsters and said monsters wanting to kill them. ]

But I'll back you up.

[truesight]

Yeah? I should warn you - Percy will either be more than happy to show me how to use a weapon properly, or he'll insist that I don't need to learn, that I won't have to worry about anything like that. If he goes with the second option, I might have to resort to puppy eyes and saying "please" a lot. Will you still have my back, under those circumstances?

[ she knows that's probably not what she meant, but she'll roll with it ]

[mesmerism]

Sure. I won't do puppy eyes, but I can point out how useful it is for a person to learn how to defend themselves.

[truesight]

Sounds like a plan.

[mesmerism]

Then I'll be seeing you at the meeting.
