[ Time to get down to business. You guys are lucky you have a hunter here, you know that? ]

Okay, a bunch of you people are seeing ghosts and things out in the woods. I'm assuming none of Death's kids are behind this, but it sounds to me like this isn't normal around this not so normal camp of yours. So I've got a question for you guys.

[ Rarely does Dean actually look serious, but he does. After having been bored for so long, he's glad to have something productive to do with his time, and he is taking this as his personal mission. ]

Where were all of you when you saw these ghosts?

[ He'll be heading right out there as soon as they're done here, guns in hand. ]

[So Percy Jackson himself was coming along. Fab. When he tosses the armor at them, she raises an eyebrow, looking at it, then back to him, her arms crossed.]

Jackson, you do realize that half of my skills require stealth, and armor is not exactly the way to get that.

[She glances over at Dean.] Yeah, remember where you are? You're currently talking to the Son of Neptune and Hermes' Daughter.

[Hey, he's protective of his camp. Also he has a couple of really bad ideas about what's out there, and if any of them are true, he needs to be there.]

Son of Poseidon; Annie's got the Neptune side, not me. Come on, at least wear the chestpiece, that won't slow you down.

[He drops the armor to let them pick and choose what they want to wear; he's only got on the chestpiece and the armguards himself for ease of movement, but he doesn't like broadcasting that invulnerable status. Given where they are it's all too easy for people to remember Achilles and that he had a fatal weak spot, and Percy really doesn't feel like dealing with it today.]

Yeah, god. G-o-d, big controlling force over water or plants or fuzzy kittens or cheeseburgers. A, never look at a god in their true form or you'll be about twenty tons of vaporized, and B, gods really like screwing with us here. [He pulls out Riptide, uncapping it and getting ready for whatever's about to come.] Ghosts are restricted to the Underworld. Most people, when they die and go to the Underworld, they become a shade, forgetting everything about themselves and wandering around the Fields of Asphodel for the rest of forever. Any ghost gets out, they were sent - and the only ones who can send them are gods or children of gods with that power. Nico's not here right now or we could just let him handle it, and the Pluto kids we got left before the summer was out. And that leaves gods - could be Hades, could be Melinoe. They both suck.
ospreyed: (yeah whatever)

Whatever, close enough. [She waves the thought away with a flick of her hand.]

Well, the god of the Underworld has kids here, for starters. And he's freaking Hades, I'm sure you've seen Hercules. He likes to fuck around. I've never met the guy, ask Jackson here. [She gestures at him.] But I don't know if this was his shtick. What happened... I don't know. It seems... petty for him.

Why would he send Jake O'Connell back here to fuck with me? [Because Hermes kids have a really great track record lately of deflecting to the bad guys, Eponine. Obviously.]

[She looked at the breast plate, then back down at her own chest, and, because she could, placed her hands on her breasts.] I'll take my chances.

[Percy thinks so, too. Good to see there's another person around with their priorities firmly in the right place.]

Okay if there is one I haven't met him yet, but there's gods for everything else, so there should be one for cheeseburgers, right?

As for Hades... [He's got to trail off here for a moment, because yeah, in some ways it doesn't make sense.] I don't know, really. He was really pissed for a couple thousand years about being ignored by the rest of the gods and just left down in the Underworld. Hell, he was so bitter about it he wanted to just stay down there last year and let the gods and us and the Titans all bash ourselves to pieces so he could come out on top and rule everything when everyone was dead. But Nico talked him into coming and helping, and he was given a seat on Olympus and a cabin and everything, so... Maybe he's just still bitter about that? The guy doesn't forgive easily, and he never forgets. He may just be using this to get back at our parents some more; the gods aren't allowed to mess around with each other, but they can go after their kids or the things they protect.

[And he'll just... reach up and rub one of his eyes at Ep. Sure he's seventeen and all, but that was pretty blatant and he's more of a fan of Annabeth's the subtle kind of sexy.] Okay, whatever. If something chomps on you, you can't blame me. Ready?
ospreyed: (yeah whatever)

Wouldn't dream of it, Jackson. [Eponine gives him a small wink before falling in with Dean. Without her armor, her step is light, even if she's wearing her usual combat boots.

I think you mean bust some ghosts.

Sad thing is, Hades isn't even close to the worst they've got in the immortal world. At least he's pretty predictable. [But that's another story. Another several stories. And he's kind of hoping this is Hades because then they can just thrash him and be done with it, but he is doubting that's the case.]

You've gotta be better at tracking stuff than me, so lead on. [At sea he's golden. On land he's awful. Percy shoulders Riptide, letting the blade sit on the strap of his armor, and follows Dean.]
