how would you feel if someone wanted to marry you Luke?

Luke: On a scale from “flattered” to “uninterested” to “creeped out”, it’ll probably depend on how close you are to biting my throat in two as you propose it.

Chris: I’m not uh… sure which way I should take this and at this point I’m wayyy too afraid to ask.

Luke: Take it as you will! I couldn’t care less.

[ask-princessandromeda]

Ethan,

IM BACK! The quest was long and I couldn’t get ahold of my phone. I hope that all is well on the Andromeda. I’ve drawn out blue prints for a potential Nemesis cabin and throne. I hope that you all are doing alright. 🧋 there’s a coffee on me.

Much love from your friend,

Valentina

Ethan: *reluctantly grabs coffee* Um, hi. And thank you. It’s nice to see old friends returning. And it’s especially great to see them with projects like these in mind - I hope your quest went well, by the way?

Ethan: Anyway, this sort of gives me hope that there’ll still be people making sure Nemesis gets the cabin she deserves, after I’m gone.

Silena: You talk about being “gone” so calmly, Ethan, it’s almost worrying.

Ethan: *shrugs* It has to happen at some point, doesn’t it?

[ask-princessandromeda]

Fuck marry Luke, Let's marry Percy!!!!

-the average camper (that will probably die in August 2009.)

Luke: The numbers of the army I’ve built suggest otherwise!

Alabaster: Honestly I’ll never understand the fuss about Perseus. Why him of all people? Perseus? Really? That low? Most campers, as much as I may disagree with them, can do way better.

Silena: Jealous much?

Alabaster: Are not!

Ethan: Are we going to ignore the last bit of the message or-

[ask-princessandromeda]

Ykw, sometimes I just want to *picks Luke up and carries him*

Chris: BRIDAL STYLE!?

Alabaster: No, no, I find it more… like an ant… scurrying away with something ten times its size…

Chris: TEN TIMES ITS SIZE!?

Ethan: In a bag, perhaps.

Silena: *nodding* Large bag.

Alabaster: *thoughtfully* Large bag. Luke is a large person.

Chris: Our leader is being CARRIED AWAY. I repeat, Luke is-

Luke: I AM NOT GETTING CARRIED AWAY!

Chris: …false alarm.

[ask-princessandromeda]

does anyone has the dictionary definition of Crooked?

Ethan: Crooked - one. Bent or twisted out of shape or out of place. Two, informal: dishonest, illegal. Parallels could be drawn between this meaning and our current morals. How nice.

Alabaster: *shaking his head* Not funny.

[ask-princessandromeda]

Hey, I got the goods....*it's a estrodous amount of little encouragement phrases the makes everyone a little warmer inside*

Silena: Oh! Well that’s… quite cute, actually. AWWHHH. Unexpected but I’ll take it!

Ethan: … I’m not as sure if to feel good about these.

Chris: You are sort of supposed to? I mean, yeah, corny, but I’m sort a sucker for this kinda thing.

Ethan: Still a little strange to receive this sort of thing for seemingly no reason.

Alabaster: Did the POSITIVITY FACTORY make a giveaway? Really? *tucks a bunch in his shirt pocket*

Luke: Ah, joy and sunshine and laughter… haven’t heard of them in years.

[ask-princessandromeda]

Thanks for the answer about Charmspeak Silena! I'm pretty new to it and I don't want to accidentally do something stupid with my powers.

Don't worry I won't tell the camp about where you are or about this blog.

Us Aphrodite kids need to stick together!

-Pandora, one of the many daughter of Aphrodite

Silena: No problem, dear. See you soon!

Alabaster: Wow, Aphrodite kids seem much more cordial to each other other than my own siblings.

Silena: *laughs* Maybe we’re not killing each other, but I assure you this is not a universal case!

[ask-princessandromeda]

To Chris and Silena specifically,

How do you balance your relationships at camp and being here?

Also, to Luke, how the hell am I supposed to handle being at camp. Im a new camper and like.. I dunno you seem like a veteran so, I just decided to mix this question with the other one. Thanks :)

Chris: Those are… good questions. Thing is… we don’t really.

Silena: *sighs* It really is difficult to keep my life straight in this context. I want to be everywhere, protect everyone I care about, but that’s not really possible, is it? Despite the fact that most of my time is spent at camp, there’s this feeling of… wrongness creeping up on me whenever I try to split myself in two between my friends there, and Charlie, and Clarisse, and the people here I still care to help. I need to lie and charm my way out of it, and it’s been working fine so far. But this fix-up won’t last a lifetime. It’s good at least that I have Chris that I can confide in, at least one person I don’t have to trick to maintain a good relationship. It’s one thing that keeps me from going crazy.

Chris: Silena’s right about that. It’s not an ideal solution but it’s warming to have each other, someone aside from Clarisse who understands a little better my feelings about my… experiences. Yanno? It’s an awkward position, between camp and the Titan Army, a traitor to both, but we’re together! I guess!

Silena: Traitor to both… gosh.

Chris: Sorry. It’s true.

Luke: And -hello there- I can assure you that being a camper will come with a whole brand new set of problems! For starters… hmm. Have good connections to the Hermes kids and to the satyrs, they might get you some advantages. Keep yourself under Chiron’s and Mr. D’s radar, you have the opportunity to get away with lots of things with how the camp is run these days. You can stay wary of monsters but making them allies is also a good option. Stay around the Athena cabin for Capture the Flag! And if anything goes wrong, if you want to fuck off: we’re waiting to help.

Chris: *raising an eyebrow* Help?

Luke: Help.

[ask-princessandromeda]

*gives Luke a box

Inside the box is specialty armor than would cover his weak point fully

Luke: *opens the box, eyes opening wide* Huh. A gift. Who made this?

Luke:

Luke: Who made this? The materials, the manufacture… wow. Lord Kronos would be appreciative, I guess you’d say. Again: what is the purpose of giving me this?

Alabaster: Maybe it’s from an ally? Someone wants us to win.

Luke: And even more people want us to lose, even from within the army, so I’d be more cautious in your place, Torrington!

Alabaster: Yes! Caution!

[ask-princessandromeda]

hey hi hello I adopt people

y’all are my children now

I have rice krispie squares

-🐛

Ethan: On one hand: what!? No! On the other hand: Rice Krispies…

"I'm back!! Managed to find some time to write a reply. I'm glad you're all alright! Especially you, Silena. Anyways, uh, I mentioned about there being a new quest last time I wrote. Turns out I'm part of it! How...fun. I have a few friends going with me, but it doesn't really sound good. The quest itself, I mean. Something about retrieving a really important item? I wasn't really listening. But hey! What can possibly go wrong? Oh- I have to cut this short, sorry. Got to go. I hope this reaches you once again – had some difficulties last time. Almost got caught. So goodbye for now!! :3" — Eros, Cabin 10, Son of Aphrodite.

Luke: Huh? What could they possibly be retrieving? From whomst?

Alabaster: “A really important item” is an extremely vague description.

Silena: Curious, curious, right… good luck on your quest, Eros! Don’t let the monsters bite!

Luke: Silena, do you think you could find out more?

Silena: I guess I’ll try?

[ask-princessandromeda]

SILENA SUPREMACY!!!

— Serene, ☀️

Silena: Thank you, doll!

Chris: SILENA SUPREMACY!

[ask-princessandromeda]

Are you a Charmspeaker because you have a way with words like your son of Aphrodite.

I've seen records saying that children of Hermes and Aphrodite can be Charmspeakers.

If you're a charm speaker that would explain quite a lot about ya!

Silena: Oh! Oh! I know about this, let me answer!

Silena: So, charmspeaking in itself is an ability characteristic to Aphrodite’s offspring, although it’s a rare feature to have. It’s difficult to determine exactly how common is it among us, but a rough estimate would be around 5 to 10 per cent, based on the little information we have. Hermes kids are not known to have this power. But some of them can do something very similar - and it lays in the art of persuasion!

Silena: Children of Hermes that manage to convince and manipulate people into doing things are inheriting aspect of Hermes Clepsiphron, the Deceiver. It is not an ability that has to do with charm, necessarily, that’s more uh… Luke’s thing than Hermes’s thing. And while charmspeaking allows you to sweeten hard truths, disfiguring not their meaning, but the way they’re received, this persuasion can lean more in… well… it can be just a very convincing lie.

Chris and Selene >>>> the rest of you

- 🛹

Alabaster: Your opinion stinks of OLYMPUS SYMPATHIES.

Chris: Wow, Al, very discreet of you.

Silena: Absolutely. How graceful. Although I suppose you have a point…?

Luke: Ask ghostwritten by a monster.

Chris: Awww, Luke, that’s so true!

[ask-princessandromeda]

A question for Luke

Have you watched Supernatural?

Btw here's a cookie :3

Luke: What’s a Supernatural?

Silena: You don’t know Supernatural?

Ethan: Supernatural as in, the gayass demon show?

Silena: We’re all hopeless.

So i may or may not have done an oopsie and uhhhh I'm currently somewhere in Arizona i think. Don't ask. I don't know how

- @rebecca-childofapollo / @asthma-dream

Chris: Arizona! That’s my home state! Where are you? My mom could definitely pick you up if you’re in trouble anywhere near her!

Ethan: Is picking up stray demigods a day-to-day thing for your mom?

Chris: No, but she’s adaptable!

[ask-princessandromeda]

Hi guys! Wonder if there's someone among you who doesn't want to harm Percy, just curious.

Ethan: Well, not particularly. I don’t hold it against him in specific, although he’s definitely ignorant at times about many things. I’d hurt him when my job calls for it, but really, it’s nothing personal. Just business.

Chris: I’m not against him either. He’s pretty chill.

Silena: Yes, right. When you hear that all Titan Army demigods have this great ol’ mortal rivalry with Percy, it’s really Alabaster who’s throwing off the statistics and making all of us look like crazy Perseus murderers!

Alabaster: I’m what?

Ethan: No, no, that checks out.
