Half-Blood Hill

Okay, I had an idea when I was teaching sword class earlier. We've been living together for awhile now and we've managed to not kill each other, so our "adjustment period" is probably over. It's time to start thinking about how we can work together, and not just having dances or parties or whatever.

[Not that he minds fun time, but he remembers last year, and how insane everything got. It's time to start preparing for that again.]

I've already cleared this with Chiron, so tomorrow afternoon there's going to be a big meeting at the campfire for anyone who wants to come - Greek, Roman, Norse, Egyptian, counselor, legionnaire, satyr, whoever, if you're in camp, you can come. Most of us already know more or less how our own groups work, but we need to get all of us working together. We got taken by surprise before, and we don't want that to happen again. Since we don't know where to go to look for these guys, we can at least work on our defenses, and maybe if we all work as one big group they won't be expecting that and we'll buy more time. I know it seems like we just got out of war conditions - okay, yeah, that's true, but they're not gonna leave us alone just because we fought last year. It's time for us to prepare as much as we can.

Oh yeah, one more thing - if anyone does anything to my sister, you're going to regret it. You have no idea how much.

[Yeah, that flash in his eyes there at the end? That's a hint to how dangerous Percy can be when he wants. He's so serious about that it's not even funny.]
