Room 314 | Afternoon | Sunday | September 26

Percy had wasted a weekend doing pretty much nothing. It hadn't necessarily been a bad weekend, just lazy. He'd spent some time in the salle yesterday, working off some frustration and today he was in his room, back to doing nothing

Yeah, Nico had something he felt the need to share and lo, Percy's door was open across the hall from Nico's and now filled with a dark and brooding demigod.

"Oh! You look busy. I should come back." Okay, maybe he didn't actually know if his news was welcome and this was a good excuse to flee.

[seaweed_demigod]

"Nah. I don't think so, at least," Percy replied, shaking his head. "I mean, how many times do we get to see our dads? And he's coming to something for you? That's pretty awesome."

[deaths_demigod]

Nico smiled just a little. "It's the truth. And it just gets worse the older we get," he shared. "Well, at least for me." Being sixteen already.

[seaweed_demigod]

"At least he won't be too phased by some of the weird stuff here," Percy pointed out. "I mean, can you imagine how many people have to warn their parents about the zombies in the bar? You just gotta tell your dad about me and Luke."

[deaths_demigod]

"Nah, he'll swoop in, act like he owns the place and then I'll have to stop Persephone from redecorating my room." Hmm. "Maybe I should tell her I live in here."

[seaweed_demigod]

"Persephone is not redecorating my room," Percy said firmly, giving Nico a look for that. "You don't think your dad could tell you don't live in here?"

[deaths_demigod]

"...not if I sleep on your floor for a few nights. Leave the stink of death around the place." Oh Nico, just go tell Luke.

"I will douse you with water," Percy mock threatened. "You really wanna wake up in a pool of water, wondering if you had an accident?"

[deaths_demigod]

"You really wanna play the powers game?" Nico checked. "Because sucking your life force away kind of puts a damper on any fun we could have."

[seaweed_demigod]

"You'd have a hard time doing that to me if I made the ground swallow you up," Percy told him, perfectly happy to play the powers game.

[deaths_demigod]

"By dousing it with water?" Nico checked. "I think my geokinesis is a little stronger than yours." Yeah, he liked this game.

[seaweed_demigod]

"No, I'd just open the earth up underneath you to do that," Percy told him, shaking his head. "Dad's the god of earthquakes. I got that little trait too, cousin."

[deaths_demigod]

"Well now I wanna see," Nico replied. "Can you just shake it or can you create walls?"

[seaweed_demigod]

"Shake it," He said, nodding. "I've never tried creating walls. I can do earthquakes and I kinda made Mount St Helens erupt when I was spying for Hephaestus."

[deaths_demigod]

"So that's how you did it," Nico said, deciding that made sense. It wasn't like he ever got to be in on the trio's pow wows. "Thought maybe you just pissed the guy off."

[seaweed_demigod]

"Yeah, I didn't exactly meant to," Percy said, shaking his head. "I was kinda getting burned and it hurt a whole lot and then things just went...chaotic. I ended up on Calypso's island."
