You're always on my mind

[waterproofed]

I don't know what happens when you leave the castle. I'm hoping you made it back to the real Camp Half-Blood, and that we'll see each other again.

But maybe you were taken to some weird alternate life. Whatever memories you were given, I'm going to help you get back the real ones. I'm here for you, Annabeth.

Count on it.

[because really, they're the only people he wants to tell right now. It's too fresh to share with the castle at large]

So. Annabeth's gone.


[ooc: usual drill. If you think you're Percy's friend, you probably are]

I've always been making trouble. [he smiles. Seems like Percy surrounds himself with creative people]

[signedlefthanded]

I am not surprised at all. [She smiles back and moves to lean on her work desk.]

[waterproofed]

[makes a face at her; he's very mature]

[signedlefthanded]

I have heard some of your stories is all. [Smirking.]

[waterproofed]

I probably should've made myself sound a little cooler when I was telling those stories.

[signedlefthanded]

[She puts a hand on his arm.]

You sounded like a hero. [Her lips quirk.]

--Who gets into a lot of trouble.

[waterproofed]

I'm just getting started, too. More trouble is sure to come.

[signedlefthanded]

I know that feeling.

[waterproofed]

How much does this cost? [picking up random object]

[signedlefthanded]

That's a calibration tool. [And she needs it.]

[waterproofed]

Oh. So, not for sale. Sorry. Hey, maybe I can get something for Tyson. My brother's really good at building stuff, like you.

[signedlefthanded]

I can build another one for you. If you want.

[waterproofed]

Nah, it's cool. I'm just... [killing time so he won't have to think about Annabeth being gone] hanging out.

[signedlefthanded]

It isn't any trouble. [She smiles, knowing that look.] It's not much, but it's mine.

[waterproofed]

Do the townspeople come here at all?

[signedlefthanded]

Sometimes. I don't think many people know I'm here.

[waterproofed]

Eh, that's just their loss. [playing with random stuff. He has no idea what some of it is]

[signedlefthanded]

[It's okay. Most of these things are really hard to break. But he's a bit more fidgety then he normally is.]

Are you okay?

[waterproofed]

[Violet is his best friend here. He can be honest with her]

Not really. I haven't seen her in ages and now she's gone again, and I don't even know if she got to go home or if she's stuck somewhere with fake memories.

[signedlefthanded]

I'm sorry she's gone. [She tries to give him a smile, something that was positive, but it was always hard losing someone here.]

You can only hope she's home and safe.

[waterproofed]

Yeah, you're right. She'll be fine.

[signedlefthanded]

She's strong and more than capable.

[waterproofed]

[grins at her] Yeah.

[signedlefthanded]

So, think about that. Wherever she is, she'll manage.

[waterproofed]

I know. Thanks, Vi.
