34 traps filled

[ectobabble]

[there's a groan over the journals]

Wow. Um. ... So ... if a little mechanical thing got into anyone's bunks some time before everything changed back, uh. It's kind of a little bit my fault, so I'm really really sorry ... and someone remind me that just because you feel like you're in college again doesn't mean you can still drink like it.

Ugh.

[he may or may not have slept through most of his first day back at the castle. drunk science, you are a cruel mistress.]

But hey, today's another day, right? Who else signed up at the outpost for the expedition to Lastlook?

Comments

[schrodingersghost]

Okay? Sounds like someone had an entertaining time at half-god camp.

...An expedition? I haven't heard anything about that.

[ectobabble]

Yeah, that's definitely one way to put it. It was pretty great, up until the tequila happened, I think.

I think. It gets a little fuzzy after the tequila.

Anyway, yeah! My friend Aradia's putting it together, she had a signup at the grand opening party for her outpost.

[schrodingersghost]

Huh, must have missed that.

I'm pretty sure I don't want to know.

[ectobabble]

You can probably still filter to her and tell her you're interested in going, if you want! I'm sure she wouldn't say no to extra help.

[fly_little_bird]

I did! I want to see what else is out there.

[ectobabble]

Oh, good! The more the merrier, I think! I'm Ray... What's your name?

[fly_little_bird]

My name's Rue. It's nice to meet you, Ray.

[ectobabble]

Nice to meet you too, Rue. That's a really pretty name. How long've you been here?

[Sob hangovers are the worst thing. Why did no one tell him about them]

My brain hurts so bad, what is even going on right now.

[ectobabble]

Hangovers, camp buddy. ... Just keep pushing water, that'll help eventually ... and try to stay away from loud noises.

[whichwayyoulean]

[Groan] I am never doing that again. My tongue feels like a sponge.

Is that normal?

[ectobabble]

The sponge thing? It's normal for a hangover, yeah. Give it time, it'll go away. You're just dehydrated. Was that your first time getting drunk?

[ruin_mania]

I'll be going, of course, though I haven't yet heard what we intend to do about the departure date. We were originally supposed to leave on the 24th, but we were a bit...well, at camp.

[ectobabble]

Yeeeeah, funny how that tends to happen around here. I'm sure Aradia will let everyone know when she's ready to get ... well, uh. Ready. You doin' okay?

[ruin_mania]

Suffice it to say that "halfblood" isn't anything of a positive term in my native world, and you may imagine how I've spent the past week or so.

[That and drama from castmates...Raine's had better weeks.]

[ectobabble]

Oh, geez, I'm sorry to hear that. At least you ... don't have to deal with it anymore?

[atrophied]

Just a friendly reminder: the clinic is not equipped to treat hangovers. Wish for a bottle of Motrin or drink more. Have a nice day.

[ectobabble]

Oh, hey, thanks. [he chuckles] It's hardly my first hangover, I'll live.

[atrophied]

Good for you.

[ectobabble]

I like to consider "still alive" a pretty big mark in the plus column, yup.

[psych0p0mps]

i did

[ectobabble]

[he laughs] Well, glad to hear it. Hey, are you still taking sign ups? My friend Danny missed the party, and I think he might be interested in going.

[psych0p0mps]

uh sure i guess!
is this the same danny who is part ghost?

Little Mechanical Thing
What Exactly Was It

[ectobabble]

Uh ... well, it was an automaton, a homemade robot that a bunch of us in Hephaestus cabin built together. One of us gave it an AI, and it decided running off on its own was a good idea.

How're you doin', Kanaya? Gettin' used to everything okay?
