[Iris Message] August 5

[serenesuccessor]

[Hello Camp Half Blood, here is the teary face of one Daughter of Demeter who really has the tendency of getting herself into trouble.

Naomi'd barely managed to send out an Iris Message, using the rainbow one of her bracelets had made and her last drachma. She's sniffling, clinging to the trunk of a tree. It should be fairly clear by the background she's up pretty high.]

S-So I wanted to see [Hic.] See if I could se-see the whole camp. Bu-But I didn't realize how high I was...

[At least not until she'd gotten to the top, and the branch she'd been standing on had snapped in half. It was only thanks to some panicked thinking that she managed to save herself from plummeting... Though Naomi never thought she'd be able to make a tree branch appear.

Needless to say she's a bit scared to move.

She let's out a shaky breath, wanting to wipe her eyes but too afraid to move.]

He-Help?

[Her voice is a bit pitiful.]

#3, Iris Message (sort of) / Action

[againstallodds]

[The Iris Message appears, showing Percy with a little grin on his face - and full battle armor, minus the helmet. Whatever else is going on, he's in a pretty good mood. That or whatever he's going to say amuses him a lot - probably both.]

So I was thinking, all of us've been through a lot, but we haven't had any major fights since last year at the Empire State Building. Considering everything that's gone on this summer, who knows if things are gonna stay quiet, so - come down to the creek. I'll be there, and if anyone feels like beating up on me a lot - hey Cabin Five! - I'll pretend to be Kronos or Hyperion or whichever buttface you guys want and we can do some war training. And I promise not to drown you even with the creek there. [But if he sees anybody ganging up on any of the little guys, your ass is grass.]

Sound good? I'll see you doAAAAH!

[Whatever else he is, Percy's definitely not immune to magic - and magic there is, as a little cloud of dust or mist or whatever forms over his face and quickly fades, leaving behind Percy. Only now he's sporting an excellent example of a perfect Snidely Whiplash mustache, curling ends and everything and it looks really stupid with his usual messy hair, and that little smile is gone for a look of confusion and horror. His head snaps to the side at the sound of female laughter and he scowls at the unseen person.]

Very funny Nat! Now take it off!

[ Natalie comes into view, seemingly out of nowhere, though she's been standing behind Percy the entire time he's been speaking. ]

If I'm gonna fight someone, I'm going straight up old school. No apologies. Personally, I think it makes you a more formidable villain.

Just take it off, I don't need to be a-

[And he turns to Nat, waving a hand through the mist as he does so to break up the rainbow.]

[Not too long after, Percy will indeed be by the creek, de-mustached and looking much less silly.]
