After yesterday, Percy was grateful for the little bit of quiet he'd found right now. Anna was off with her dad and Ethan was off...actually, Percy didn't know. Maybe he was with his mom (and that would never not be hilarious). Right now, Percy was just taking advantage of the empty room to sit on the edge of his bed and unwind ( Read more... )

Percy thought it was perfectly deserved for he and Luke to be sleeping late today. They'd been up late, after all, and that, combined with some spiked punch, made for the perfect recipe for a nice, long lie in ( Read more... )

Luke was a damn bed intruder but Percy hadn't minded. It meant he got an extra blanket and pillow and he had someone who could go fetch breakfast or something once they both woke up. And, as much as he wanted to stay in bed, they both had a class so Percy had gotten himself up, showered and dressed before Luke ( Read more... )

Waking up in the dark wasn't so bad but waking up shivering was. It took Percy a few moments to realize that the power was completely out and that there was thick snow blitzing down outside his window. Hadn't it just been warm yesterday? What the heck happened ( Read more... )

After an earlier Iris message to Grover, Percy was feeling a little pensive. Things were all right and he didn't think Grover was lying to him but there was just something...something bothering Percy about it all. It was almost like the other shoe was going to drop and he could feel it in his skin. It wouldn't be long now ( Read more... )

After class, Percy (and his headache) had come back to his room so he could take a few aspirin, turn off the lights and flop belly first on his bed. He figured the fact that he had a headache was deserved and that water could heel most things but a headache wasn't really physical so he was stuck dealing ( Read more... )

The only bar Percy had ever been was the one on the island so being in some bar in Washington DC was a little different. Of course, he wasn't really thinking about that. He was more focused on the stinging in his forearm and the puffy white bandage that was peeking out from underneath his loose sweater. He kept having the childish urge to poke ( Read more... )

It was the first official day of break and Percy was backing a bag. He'd called his mom earlier and listened to her chatter excitedly about seeing him for the first time in several months. She'd told him all about Christmas plans and how Paul was going to drive them all to Montauk in their new car and how he was going to buy a real tree and there ( Read more... )

Percy was kind of glad the island seemed to be getting back to normal. He'd gone out when he could, fought off little ugly goblins but stayed out of the labyrinth this time. He'd already dealt with one of those, already gotten lost, almost lost hope and almost died so he left this labyrinth to people that seemed to know this one ( Read more... )

Unlike his unlucky cousin, Percy wasn't having nearly as bad a morning. Sure, he had headache and maybe his eyes hurt a little but he didn't feel the need to puke or didn't feel like dying. He was probably luckier in that Luke had stuck around last night whereas Jason had left Nico to his own pukey devices ( Read more... )
