A familiar name

[Percy reads aloud from the card he found while in the wizard world]

"Circe was an ancient Greek who lived on the island of ... Aeaea? and was an expert at turning lost sailors into pigs."

Okay, I get that she would be considered "famous" for that, but this doesn't look anything like her.

It's really not that different from Paradisa.

Re: Dictated

You act like I understand Paradisa. At all.

It's a crazy magic castle that does weird stuff. Anything beyond that is for the brainiacs to figure out.

Re: Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

... have I ever mentioned how awesome it is that you and I are on the same wavelength, Percy? [Because it really is great to have a friend who sees things the same way she does.]

Dictated

[waterproofed]

It is pretty awesome. [he fell in love with a brainiac, but he knows he will never be one, so he's more than happy to let them do all the hard thinking]

Hey, I forgot: you were flying really well during the Hogwarts thing. Your team fought dirty, but you were good anyway.

[She grinned at the journal, before looking up to the sky.]

Thanks ... I was kind of pissed at them for that. I think if they were concentrated on the game, we could have had a chance.

Maybe they'll learn something from that. It was still pretty cool to watch. Too bad it being in the air, though.

Re: Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

I know ... I wi - [She stopped herself before she almost stated 'wished they had flying broomsticks here', glowering at herself.] Yeah, it was cool.

The closest I get is when I ride my black pegasus Blackjack. I think that's sort of neutral because pegasi are sort of horses.

Re: Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

You own a pegasus? That's a ... flying horse, right?

Dictated

[waterproofed]

I don't own him, he just decided that he liked me and followed me around.

Re: Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

Still ... that you're friends with a flying horse? Definitely coolest friend I've ever gotten.

Dictated

[waterproofed]

He's pretty cool. So's Alcaeus, of course, but I won't get to see him when I go home.

Re: Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

Who is Alcaeus, and why won't you get to see him?

Dictated

[waterproofed]

He's my Pokemon friend, the thing that looks like a squid living in the duck pond. And... you know, he's not from my world.

Re: Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

...You have a Pokemon friend - you really collect all sorts, don't you Percy?

Dictated

[waterproofed]

Yep, pretty much. You missed out on seeing my dog, but you might get to meet my friends or my brother one day.

Re: Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

You have a brother? [She wouldn't be surprised about Percy has friends, but a brother?]

Dictated

[waterproofed]

Well, yeah. My dad's a god so I have lots of siblings. But Tyson's the one I'm closest with.

Re: Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

Is he ... is he alive, back home?

Dictated

[waterproofed]

Last I saw him, yeah. [he killed another of his half-siblings, but he's not mentioning that] Tyson's awesome. I bet you'd like him.

Re: Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

[She let out a quiet sigh of relief. Thank god for that.] Oh, I'm sure I would. he's your brother, after all.

Dictated

[waterproofed]

Not all of my brothers are great. Some are real jerks. I think Tyson's more humble because he lived alone... And me, I had my mom to keep me grounded.
