Not-So-Triumphant Return (Action)

[againstallodds]

[Most people (newbies excepted) would probably recognize the teenager that walks straight out of the ocean on the afternoon of the 19th, just as casually as if he were walking down the street in Anytown USA. If the fact that he's choosing to swim fully-clothed in October in New York doesn't give away who he is, the fact that he isn't soaking wet probably does.]

[He needs to meet with Chiron, but the first place Percy goes is actually the Poseidon cabin, closer to the ocean and his home-away-from-home, so he can drop off the small pack he's carrying - but less than ten seconds after he walks through the door, he tears back out it again and back down to the ocean.]

When were you gonna tell me I had a sister?!

[Yup, he's totally screaming at the ocean. This would have been nice to know, okay Dad?]

[Exactly, Grace. Rules? Sometimes they suck and get in the way. Screw the rules, then!]

We'll figure it out, we always do. And I half expected to come back and find Sadie had staged a magical takeover and now everyone was walking around in headdresses or something.

[notthatjason]

Sadie's actually been fairly tame I think. No major spell hi-jinks anyway or if there were I didn't notice them.

[Not that he had spent much time getting to know the Egyptian-based girl. Perhaps he should change that if he was the big proponent of merging the camps anyway. It certainly wouldn't hurt and Said was certainly more sane than some of the other girls at camp.]

[againstallodds]

Good to know. Me and you and Annabeth and Reyna and her should probably all get together and talk some time anyway.

[Because sharing is caring!]

[notthatjason]

You're forgetting the Norse.

[He hasn't met many of them yet, but he considers something.]

There aren't many here and I'm not sure they have a leader yet...but it wouldn't be right to not include them on any kind of talk.

[againstallodds]

Yeah, but how much do they know about their gods- themselves? Whatever they are. Annabeth can't really find anything about them, do you think maybe they just... know stuff and don't know they know it?

[notthatjason]

Probably not a lot, but I think that might be all the more reason to include them. They don't remember, and it could be to our advantage if, as they regain any godly memories, they at least have our knowledge and traditions to fall back on. Or, if nothing else, remembering how we treated them. I mean...they may have a godly aspect, but most of them lived lives as mortals...that's kind of like being a demigod I think? Since they're part moral still?

[He rubbed at his neck.]

I can't speak for them, obviously, but it wouldn't surprise me if some of the godly, Norse stuff is just buried. And even if not, I think it would just lead to better unity around here if we at least extended the invitation. If I lost my memory and was in a strange place where people had powers and connections to the gods and was claiming I was like them but different, I would hope I'd be accepted anyway.
