Muehehe Nothing Can Stop Me (I'm Like Already Halfway Through The Third Chapter)

muehehe nothing can stop me (I'm like already halfway through the third chapter)

Hey? Wassup?

You know what would be cool?

Chapter two of the Demigod With Many Names >:]

Chapter 2:

I WATCH A DOG EAT A POMEGRANATE

I don't usually cry (which is a lie). But when I did, I accidentally envelope my entire surroundings in a five foot radius of pure darkness (courtesy of my literal, primordial grandpa, Erebus).

'Jacks... are you okay? You've been crying for a good ten minutes,' My wonderful -but terrible at consoling people- boyfriend from the Demeter cabin, Tyler said softly. 'Lou Ellen, and Connor are starting to get worried...' He said as he poked the edge of the darkness.

I created a small window in the Crying Void, patent pending, so I can look at him. 'Why aren't they hanging out with Will?- Or Nico. Whichever. Take a pick.'

'Funny you say that actually.' He said as he rubbed the back of his neck.

I poke my head through the hole and look around the Demeter cabin. Sure enough, Nico, Lou Ellen, Connor, and Tyler are standing around me. Nico was playing with the shadows -which, of course he was- while Tyler was trying to hide Connor and Lou Ellen's current argument.

'No! I'm not disguising you in the Mist so that way you can trick the Poseidon cabin into thinking a Siren broke in.' Lou Ellen said sternly.

'Come on! It'll be fun! Think about it, Percy's gonna freak out, then he's gonna be all super soaker mode and stuff!' Connor pleaded on the floor, slowly crawling to Lou Ellen's leg and grabbing onto it. 'Ple-e-e-e-ase?'

Nico hits him on the head. 'Enough Connor. Stop messing around. We're here for Jacks, remember?'

'Fine!' Connor sighs, holding the spot where Nico bonked him. 'But this isn't over "Louie." And you didn't need to hit me on the head so hard! For a scrawny, emo boy, you're freakishly strong.'

'Thank you.'

'That wasn't a compliment.'

Nico shrugs.

'Ahem!?' Tyler cleared his throat loudly to get their attention. 'Focusing on the wrong emo!'

'Rude,' I add in. 'But not far off. Nice job, honey.'

'Thank you.'

I sniffled, wiping my eyes and my nose with a tissue I had in my pocket. Why did I have a tissue in my pocket? Not sure. When did I get it? Again, not sure. Was it clean and unused? Surprisingly yes.

'Anyways. What are you three doing here?' I wasn't sure how I said it, but it was probably harsher than I meant it to be. 'I get Tyler being here, but not you guys.'

'Well..." Connor started.

'We heard you got suspended for not being able to deal with a patient that wasn't there,' Nico continued for him. 'I'm not entirely sure why Will would do that though...'

'He's a cool guy and all, but he's been acting strange recently.' Lou Ellen added.

'All the immortals, and some of the Half-Bloods are also acting strange.' Tyler said worriedly. 'Especially Chiron and Mr. D.'

My heart dropped, and skipped a worried beat. The shadows around me faltered, turning into a dark mist and falling to the top of my knee, not coming back up. Nico raised and eyebrow, but I think he decided not to comment on it. 'What do you mean?' I finally managed.

'Well, Chiron has been showing more... Romanic centaur behavior.' Nico replied quickly. As much as the kid (we're technically the same age) freaked me out, he was surprisingly chill. Probably because he mostly didn't care most situations, or because he wasn't sure what to do in most situations. Either way, I'm not inviting him to my funeral if I die.

'Meaning he's becoming a ruthless killing machine and eats meat?' I asked, condescending in tone.

'Shut up.' Nico glared at me, which wasn't very fun. 'But technically yes. He's becoming more erratic, sending untrained kids on extremely dangerous quests. More and more kids are disappearing due to the Harpies-'

'Wait- What?!-'

'Not important,' Nico continued as he started fidgeting with his skull ring, pacing back and forth as the plants around him started dying and took on a more brownish color. 'What's important is what's happening to Mr. D.'

'Well what's happening to Mr. D?' I asked with my hand raised.

'I will tell you how long it will be until you die. Then make it much shorter,' He threatened me calmly. 'Sorry, I didn't mean that... entirely. Just stop interrupting me.'

I put my hand down slowly.

'Anyways,' He continued. 'Mr. D has gone completely off the rails. He's turning kids into animals, mostly dolphins. He's created a camp wide mania surge that's making almost everyone paranoid and on the verge of doing a literal killer mosh pit, all while sending shipments, upon shipments of leopards and releasing them into the forest.'

'Courtesy of the amazing, wonderful Amazon workers,' Connor added, followed to a swift, loud slap to the back of the head by Lou Ellen.

'That's for calling me "Louie", dill hole.' She sneered.

I'm not sure if it was payback for earlier, and she found the perfect time to do ot, or it just registered Connor called her Louie.

'Anyways,' I say while scooting away from Connor and Lou Ellen. 'What should I do about it? There's no way I can help a missing camper, let alone a god and a horse person.'

Nico shifted uncomfortably. 'How about something smaller... Like... Will?' He said in a small voice.

I rolled my eyes, feeling my anger that I subsided for Will slowly rising up as Nico suggested that. 'And why should I?! Will fired me, took away my license, and kicked me out of my own cabin!' My eyes stung. I could feel the tears start to come up again. The shadows at my knees began to stir, becoming spikey waves in a sea of shadows. 'He was my brother! The first person I knew that would understand that I came from a different time, and would need guidance.'

Nico reached out towards me, stepping into the shadows and grabbing my arm. 'Jacks, you know what I-' He winced and pulled away, noticing my eyes were glowing. Their usual two-toned light orange and brown, replaced by a soft, glowing neon green. He got distracted by my eyes that he forgot my skin was literally ice cold to the touch.

You know when you wet your fingers and touch an ice cube you just pulled out of the freezer, and it freezes the liquid on you hand and sticks to your skin? If you haven't, try it, and come back to this chapter. Anyways, that's what it reminded Nico of.

The floor cracked open, and a hand sprung out from the ground. Not even I was expecting that. The shadows sunk into the ground, making the green glow coming from it to dim down. My eyes stopped glowing.

Unfortunately, though, the now golden glowing image of a Lyre above my head, didn't. The zombie kept crawling out of the ground, as the strings to the lyre broke. The lyre broke, the wood turning back into tree. An image of a pomegranate falls from one of the branches, hitting the "ground." A three headed dog eats the pomegranate, sitting down like a guard dog would.

Nico's eyes widen, his whole body faltering. 'You- How-' He takes a few steps back, tripping over the zombie and almost falling into the hole in the floor. Luckily, Tyler managed to make a flower with Lou Ellen making the flower as big and strong as possible using magic, and Connor bending it down so Nico could land safely on it.

'Jacks...' Nico said after complete silence. 'You just got reclaimed by- by-' He stuttered.

'Hades...' I finish his sentence.

A knock is heard on the door, and we all look over. Leo walks in holding two cartons of ice cream and two spoons. 'Hey Jacks, I heard you got fi-' Leo drops the ice cream on the ground as he looks around the cabin in shock, finally noticing what happened. 'Sorry, is this a bad time?'

'Really Leo?' The five of us say in unison. 'Does it look like a bad time?'

Leo looks at the glowing image of Cerberus above my head. 'There's a story here... not sure if I wanna know it, but darn rootin' tootin' I'm staying for it.' He says with a big grin.

And thus ends Chapter 2.

I really hope you guys like it, these are always so fun to make, and I get to deal with my mind gremlins that bug me all the time 'bout this stuff

"Tyler's not a dumbass! He's just lovable."

The dumbass in question:

(both using picrew (yes they both have options for Hijabi))

There wasn't as much scar options for the one on the left. So, I focused on his piercings.

Also, Jacks (feat. Toast).

They're such cuties, I love em. I love me gay bois. *Mwah* smooches.

Quick sexuality and gender reference for both of them:

Jacks: [Genderfluid but they prefer to be called] Non-binary, bisexual (technically Pan cause they don't care who they date as long as they wanna date), Aroflux, Cupioromantic, monogamous, and homoerotic (mostly attracted, if at all, to men or anyone of the same gender)

Tyler: Male (There's a whole story, but technically demiboy), Gay, bi-curious, Aceflux, and monogamous.

I love me boys sm, if you disagree, we fightin' bruh.

(ooc: my in character posts are gonna end with #self destruct toads, just as a b.t.dubs)

I feel like I should post out of context quotes between me and my boyfriend lol

"Have you ever just wanted to... shove your finger in candle wax..." -Tyler

"No? Why would I??" -Me

"It feel nice on mah fingies :)" -Tyler

"I wonder, if you hadn't asked me out, what do you think I'd be doing rn?" -Me

"Probably doing what you already do?" -Tyler

"WRONG. I would be laying in my bed eating soggy cereal while I cry myself to sleep." -Me

"So... What you already do?" -Tyler

"I wonder what Will is doing, haven't seen him all day." -Me

From the other side of the cabin: "Nico, duh." -Tyler

"... Fair point." -Me

"Byee! Gonna hang out with Hilal and Nico today!" -Me

"What's so different about hanging out with them today?" -Tyler

"We get to talk shit about you... Just kidding. It's mostly about Kathy." -Me

"Oh, have fun then!" -Tyler

"I saw someone eating blue peanut- where's Toast?" -Me

"The blue frog frog you stole from Percy that you left out his cage and put on my bed?" -Tyler

"Tyler what did you do?" -Me

"I licked him and threw up." -Tyler

"I wasn't talking about what you did to him, I meant what happened to him?" -Me

"Idk, I was throwing up." -Tyler

This was fun, I should do this more.

I'm gonna Jacks (ofc (also might make a Tyler oc acc, who knows.))

Absolutely loves Naethan Apollo and has listened to almost every single one of his songs. Their fav pecifically,

Tyler and Jacks listen to love songs whenever they're together, it's pretty cute, especially since they share earbuds. The not so cute thing is when a very loud song plays and they're very aware that their earbuds have a DASTARDLY sound leak.

Whenever Jacks get sad, they listen to Floptropica remixes. Their favorite is Vampire remix.

Favorite albums would be K-12, PORTALS, some of Crybaby, Hello World, Nightwatch, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's album (just one), Clover (by OR3O), Everything I Know About Love and Bewitched.

Kinda knows how to play any instrument, just not any songs (except for part of Silent Night on keyboard)

Uses their voice as a way to convince Satyrs to not eat any silverware (their music makes the satyrs' tummies full).

They also have Love Like You and We Are The Crystal Gems playing in their mind all the time. The full songs for both.

Tagging: @jklovu @sun13koi and if I forgot your name, I'm sorry, so open tags 💛
