Percy Jackson/ Neo McAuliffe

Percy parried as his training partner slashed at him. He noticed Clarisse and Sherman gaping at their little spar as they continued. In this small second of distraction, his partner sent him flying. He landed on his butt a good few feet away, with a large cut on his arm. His partner held out his hand to help him up. Suddenly, a glowing red symbol appeared above him. It was a spear crossed over a shield. The symbol of Ares. They heard Clarisse and Sherman gasp in excitement. What weirdos, thought Percy. ‘Neo McAuliffe, son of Ares, god of war, strength and bravery ‘ Chiron announced from the break in the trees. all four individuals jumped in alarm. They centaur merely left again. Neo helped Percy up with a smile. ‘hi, nice to meet you’ He laughed. ‘Nice to meet you too, Neo’

‘You damn onion!’ The newly claimed son of Ares laughed as Percy shoved the strawberry that Neo had been about to pick up into his mouth. ‘Onion? In my seventeen years of being a demigod, never have I ever heard a child of Ares label someone as an ‘Onion'“ Said son of Poseidon sniggered. ‘Oh! Me, Ellis and Nico are having a movie night tomorrow if you wanna join, its in the Hades cabin’ Neo suddenly suggested. ‘Sure maybe, if Annabeth doesn't need me for something' Percy laughed. Neo felt a distant pang of jealousy and concern. Annabeth was rather controlling towards her boyfriend, so what if he doesn't get you the exact copy of a book you wanted? Its not a big deal.

Nico leaned over to ellis wakefield and whispered into his ear; ‘Love birds', as he gestured to Percy and Neo. They were jokingly feeding each other popcorn and chocolate. While making bad jokes about onions. ‘Ares kids are just like onions, nobody likes them and smell bad' Percy admitted. Neo looked hurt for a fraction of a second, as Percy noticed and added another few words. ‘-except for you, everyone who knows you likes you and you smell really nice, lavender or jasmine?’ He smiled. ‘Bloody jasmine’ The son of Ares laughed. ‘Told ya’ Nico whispered. ‘I never denied it’ Ellis grinned.

Percy couldn't believe the thoughts running through his mind as he watched Neo. He picked up a rose and let it fly with the wind. Which made his already messy ebony hair, even more ruffled. He was pale skinned, with a lean figure. A gentle smile crossed his face when a bird landed on his arm, as if he were a disney princess. ‘Perce, look!’ He slowly turned to him. Percy smiled as he approached. His sea green eyes wandered to Neos indigo ones, which were filled with excitement and joy. ‘Isn't it cute!’ He spun in a circle, his adhd getting to him. Percy stuck out his hand, and patted the bird slowly and carefully, as to not scare away something that made Neo so happy. ‘It really is' Percy replied, yet his eyes were focused on Neo himself.

Neo elbowed Percy in the hopes of him missing. They were playing fortnite in the big house. Both had become rather competitive in this little heated in game fight between the two. Percy yawned, and his eyes fell unfocused for a mere second, as they were one Neo, who was laughing. ‘I won!’ The son of Ares sang. ‘You really did’ Percy sighed fondly. ‘Campers? Return to your cabins and pack your bags if your leaving tomorrow morning’ Chiron chidded. The happy atmosphere vanished. ‘Oh no…Wait, how about we meet up as much as we can? Where do you live?’ Percys eyes trailed up to Neos. ‘London! Yet my mum lets me take trips to NYC whenever I want! Well, thats because my granny lives there, but anyways, i'm quite wealthy so sometimes I can get the bus to NYC, we can hang out there sometimes, and others I can take you to my house!’ He gasped excitedly. ‘Perfect!’ Percy smiled.

Later that same evening, both boys sat by the lake. A comfortable silence lay in the air. ‘Percy, I..I need to tel! You something, please don't think of me any less, and please don't tell anyone, by i'm…i'm..I'm pansexual’ Neo shut his eyes, expecting an outraged reaction from his friend. ‘Cool, if it makes you feel better i'm bi’ Percy gave a wide smile as Neo opened his eyes. ‘Really?’ He gasped. ‘Mhmm’ Percy lay down in the damp grass. Suddenly, a group of cleaning harpies noticed them. They began to shriek as they dived. The two boys replied with loud, high-pitched screaming as they sped back to their cabins.

Percy stared at Calypsos moonlace plant. He hadn't even gotten a proper chance to say goodbye to Neo. But now he was back in Manhattan, and Neo in London. An idea crossed his mind as he sped back into his room. He quickly used a drachma and water he had summoned in an empty bowl, to create an iris message. Seconds later, his best friend- apart from Grover- was grinning down at him. ‘Want to meet up for lunch at °Insert random cafe°?’ He asked. ‘Sure! See you there!’

Months passed and soon it was time to return to their beloved camp half-blood. Neo was over the moon to be able to see Percy without the long wait of busses and the many irish messages. Percy himself was just as overjoyed. Neo ran through the forest to their secret spot. A small creak in a grassy boulder supposed to be a hill, what no one knew, was that it led into a beautiful cave, lit by pink torches that had been placed by the cave nymphs many millennia ago. Percy was already there. ‘Tide!’ Neo screamed as he threw his arms around Percys neck. ‘Hey shortie mc short’ The said son of Poseidon snickered. Neo huffed as he pulled away slightly. ‘sorry-' Percy smiled and pulled him back into his warm embrace.

dinner was loud and positive. Neo had joined Percy on the Poseidon table so that they could talk. chiron didn't attempt to interfere. ‘Meet me in the Poseidon cabin after the camp fire' Percy winked. Neo looked rather confused, but got on with telling him about the news of their favourite TV show.

The son of Ares stumbled into cabin 3. The lights were on, yet they were dim. Percy sat reading a comic on his bed. He quickly put it down when Neo entered. They did that a lot now, where they wouldn't knock or ask, they would just walk straight in, the invasion of privacy never crossing eithers mind. Percy jumped up from his bed, an awkward air floated around him. ‘Okay…Neo, what I wanted to say, is that. I love you, romantically, and it scares the hades out of me, I know I shouldn't feel this way, And I know i'm not good enough for you, and I'm so stupid to make the mistake of falling inlove with my best frien-’ He was cut of by Neo kissing him. He tasted like Cadbury choclate. Percy ran his hands through the son of Ares long-ish curls. The slightly pulled away, Neo let out a small moan, and they continued. After a few minutes they properly pulled apart, breathless. ‘Err..what now?’ Percy scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment. ‘Are we a thing?’ Neo asked. ‘If you want’ Percy replied. ‘of course!’ Neo jumped down beside Percy. Both were smiling. Percy turned to Neo, one hand massaged the Ares boys throat, while the other traced his reddened lips. ‘Your absolutely breathtakingly beautiful, I must be in heaven' He slurred his words. Neo blushed. Percy continued. ‘Now… where were we…’

(I will be continuing the Percy/Chiron argument soon, just a small little story to keep ya'll interested)

Percy/Chirons Argument pt.5 (srry its short)

Percy awoke to see a strange glowing orb laying before them. He made sure that Adrienne got up, and the two stared mindlessly at the orb. It took the woman a few dead moments to realize. ‘Oh! Percy! Someone's creating the cure! I was looking into this stuff the night I was sent here! They are about halfway done the process! If they're going that quickly, we could be out of here within mere hours!’ She exclaimed. Percys eyes widened. ‘Really!?!?’ He gasped. ‘Mhmm!’ She replied. Excitement welled up in the stomachs of the duo.Unbeknownst to them, it would not be that easy.

‘Oh my gods’ Ares nearly dropped the delicate cup. Dionysus had just finished telling him allof the details. He just couldn't believe it. speaking of the wine god, he was calmly helping himself to the pastries that had been prepared for them by a maid. ‘We have to stop them! Zeus knows what that despicable woman will do!’ Ares yelled. ‘I know, I know' Dionysus replied. ‘We need help them….and I think I know what to do'.

Alkippe began to choke. she had somehow ran straight into a tree, was smacked in the face with a branch, and then proceeded to choke on a leaf. Gaia- Mother nature, really seemed to hate her. ‘Ali, you okay?’ Thrassa looked over he shoulder. She had left Sorin and Kyra in charge of Percy. Currently, Hippolyte, Clarisse and Penthesileia were searching the big house. As they had insisted that less meant less likely to be caught. Suddenly, The two sisters stumbled across a…grove? A loud breathing sound caught their attention. ‘whos there!’ Alkippe snarled. a branch snapped and both girls jumped around to see a rather small drakon waddle into the clearing. He wasn't any bigger then festus, and he had sleek red scales. Fire flickered in his nostrils. They realised who it was. No other then their half brother, he was the drakon ismenian. ‘hi… we're your half sisters, mind helping us out?’

Piper watched from olympus with her mother as the demigods began their journey. ‘Poor Percy’ She sighed. Aphrodite nodded sadly. ‘Mother? Sister?’ Both turned to see Harmonia standing a few feet away. Piper carefully took in the raven waist-length curls, the plump figure, the kind honey colored eyes, the rouge pink floral dress, just everything about the goddess seemed beautiful. Her skin was dark, with star like freckles on her visible shoulders, thighs and under her eyes. ‘hi..’ Piper said, awestruck. ‘My! Jason Grace was right when he called you gorgeous!’ The goddesses voice was silvery. Pipers face was evident with the blush forming in her face. ‘Thank you’ She mumbled. Harmonia cheerfully plopped down beside her. ‘Well as your big sister and friend! I will help with whatever your sad about!’ She said confidentially, placing her hands on her hips as she spoke. Piper smiled

‘Now why would you do that!’ Mallory Keen complained to Magnus. ‘I don't know! It was the first thing that came to mind apart from AAAAGUH’ He replied with a steely glare. Both laughed. Halfborn and TJ watched them from the other side of the room. Halfborns eyes were fixated on every move Mallory made. From the way her pale skin shone in the lighting, and the way her curls bounced across her shoulders, the mischievous glimmer in her eyes, and just everything. TJ noticed the look he was giving her, and raised a dark eyebrow. ‘You like Mallory?’ He wiggled said eyebrows. ‘What are you talking about! Absolutely not!’ Halfborn continued on a rant about the irish girl. Until she caught his eye, thats when she winked, and the same time the time changed.

The view focus on a rose. A clock sat high above it, just in sight. Every few moments, a petal would fade away to ashes. Meant to dictate the progress of Percy and Adriennes saviors. A pale hand wrapped its fingers around the throny stem. Kronos pulled the rose to his lips. The stem greyed at the bottom, and seemed to be slowly inking through the flower. ‘If only you were here with me, my dear Rhea, I sincerely apologise for the supposed demise of our children’ He sighed. Another petal crumpled up into ashes. This time signifying times sadness.

Leos hand interlocked with Jasons. He stared ahead as they approached the infirmary, where they were expecting to see Percy. The confusion on their face was evident when Annabeth was nowhere to be scene. Instead, there was a familiar boy from the Ares cabin. Neo McAuliffe. Born to mortal Naria McAuliffe, and obviously god, Ares. The boys pale face was stained by tears, his hand interlocking the lifeless Percys the same way the couple were doing at that moment. Only now did Jason realise how delicate a life was, it could be taken away at any second. He just hoped he would die before Leo.

Oc-tober day 7

I have an oc for all kinds in the Percy Jackson universe and Fidi is my little cute monster who's not very good at fighting and therefore terrified of meeting demigods because she /knows/ it would only end with her sent straight back into Tartarus.

Un peu différent mais l'idée est là.

The idea is there but kid of different.

These are design concepts for my OC Calliope, I mentioned her in my first post (where she looked WILDLY different but my art style flips on a dime sometimes) but yeah! These are just some concepts for things like her face, hair (which I find hard) and basic layouts for things like moles & scarring. She is meant to be a Demigod and I have her placed at Camp Jupiter at the beginning of her story (arc? Idk)

But uh yeah! Her name is fully, Calliope Augustine Varus (yes; THAT Varus. I’ll explain that more, and this probably puts her teetering on the Mary sue status- and she is partially what I have scripted for my DR) but she’s meant to be the Granddaughter of Michael Varus, a daughter of Dionysus (yes- the Greek aspect, not Bacchus) and a legacy of Janus. Also born on June 21 (because that’s my birthday and i like it; and it’s a great plot device in her backstory- ‘it’s my tea party, I get to choose the rules’/j. Maybe I’ll say some bad excuse.)

Her whole spiel is that she went to Camp Jupiter at a younger age (not as young as Jason for her actual character and not DR but probably younger than 12. I’d put her as maybe nine) her mother was increasingly worried about the monster issues, as she chose to move from New Rome and not in any Demigod populated community; and Calliope already began learning about her powers from a young age (It’s mentioned in tLT that the reason monsters begin hunting demigods is when they start learning of their powers; Percy did his whole fountain thing. And it’s a good reason as to why Frank got 16 years of smooth sailing) but she learned her powers from a younger age; combination of her mother and Janus things (I’ll explain her power distribution and a thematic role in her powers) and Dionysus things- because Dionysus totally finds some way to hang out with his children before they get to Camp, he had a good relationship with Castor and Pollux and he cares about them a lot. But instead of Helen (the mother; probably should’ve said that, but Helen’s her name) bringing her to Camp Half-Blood. I’d like to think on Calliope’s birthday (me and my friend decided birthday trauma because that would be a time Dionysus- or none of the gods could watch their kids) Lupa comes over and is like, ‘Helen, pookie, hand over your kid. It’ll be safer in the legion’ and Helen is there like T-T, ‘Okay’. Obviously; it’s far more like, intricate than that- but it pretty much is an okay enough bad summary. But yeah- Helen scribbles down a letter of recommendation, grabs one her mother (who was totally the Augur previously, making her Michael Varus’s lover/wifey/idk, and the Augur that told him, ‘Michael don’t do that it’s not time’ and it doubles as ‘Michael we have a small child and you have one more year until retirement don’t get yourself killed now’) and tucks them with her small child; that pearl necklace in the drawjng is also from this time period of Calliope’s life. But uhhh whatever; something, something, Lupa training. I usually only see her when thinking about her in HoO as a Modern AU (If it was taking place during 2009, her birthday would be probably moved back; and she would be a 2009 scene girlie. But she only is thought of in a world with MY head canons, MY re-imagining, and MY storyline. So she is hard to try and re-work to fit in the OG. Maybe I’ll try once and post it here and giggle with everyone on how much I’d probably butcher her.) but yeah; as a modern AU that has my re-imagining and head canons, back on track- so, she does her training, gets to the legion, fun letters of recommendation and I think she shows some special ability to get in the first cohort (again; in line with my head canons for the re-imagining of the legion. I’m plugging it a lot but it’s something I’m putting a lot of effort into) but she gets in, and naturally becomes friends with Jason’s friend group but still is kind of an outsider to that. Next important thing is Octavian joining the legion- they had seen each other around New Rome and talked with each other a couple times, they were friends; and just became better friends once he joined the legion (I put Calliope at around 17 for the majority of HoO) once he gets his Centurion position (I have to figure out how I wanna think abt the Augur stuff) but he promotes Calliope to Optio (or Optio centuriae specifically, it means she’s pretty much the second in command for Centurions- I’ll probably talk more about them in my Roles post for CJ Re-imagined). And then she doesn’t really matter until Jason’s praetorship, during the barely mentioned mutiny; of course. Because she’s meant to be a good friend to Jason, but I have her fatal flaw as being like two-faced, for a Janus related one. So I feel like she went behind her friends backs to discreetly fuel the mutiny, but just teetering the line enough that she wouldn’t be traced back to it? If that makes sense; I want it to be a reveal. Uh, yeah- she’s mostly thought of in relation to my DR. And I’ve ran out of words, byeeeee!! I’ll talk more in a

part 2!

Calliope Pt. 2!

Okay- okay, I have more things to say about my Oc, that I couldn’t get to because of word limit- I’ll try to format this and make it easier to read, not like the actual rambling I did in the first but okay- yeah (no one wants this)

Powers

I mentioned Calliope’s powers in relation to her story and them being thematic (idk if that’s the right word but they play a role in showing her arc) though I might change her Godly Parent to a strictly Greek God for her Character- Character (sadly I’d probably have to change her purple-on-purple) but yes, her powers

In the beginning of the story she is meant to show most of her Janus abilities; I put these down as

Being able to spot lies

Knowing the layouts of tunnels, what lies behind doors, etc. (kind of like how Hazel internally knows underground areas, but only for tunnels or archways)

And I like to think some enhanced senses from the whole two-head thing- it’s bad but it helps when she can also sit there and go ‘guys monsters :[‘ but probably not as well as satyrs, she can tell you if a monster is in a 10ft radius, and it usual isn’t spotted unless she’s already suspicious (can you tell I made this up on the spot? Well I did)

And these are the powers she shows before (In me and my friends Au where we shove our characters into the prophecy of seven- now nine. I’ll probably talk about our Nine AU when I have Sphereoz over, and go look at their page!! They post art) but it’s to show her being fully rooted in Rome, her Roman position.

And slowly over time the more and more Calliope is learning the fact that she is a Greek demigod, she learns more of her powers; and they slowly get more used and stronger while she is becoming more Greek; or something along the lines of trying to fill out being a Greek demigod, even if it feels uncomfortable and unnatural.

Unlike Jason; where his arc is him coming to terms with Greek and Roman and choosing Greek where he feels more at home (and where in Blood of Olympus is kind of feels like he rejects his Rome, saying it’s not his home anymore, ambrosia/nectar changing, probably not meant to be interpreted that way as he is still pontifex Maximus; despite feeling like he doesn’t want to Roman very much)

But Calliope’s arc would be more of finding her balance (haha smooth Janus tie-in) but her finding that she can accept her Greek aspect, and maybe not embrace it right away; but slowly learn to get more comfortable with it. She doesn’t reject New Rome or her Roman heritage just because she was told that she was a Greek demigod. She has to find her own middle and struggle of learning there was a complete side of her that she never knew existed. And it serves as a good way to keep her somewhat in her own bubble of being unable to know which side she was on; and not having the luxury of being chosen for a role that allows her to work with both aspects.

Her dubious actions

The title is the best way I can describe some of the things she does. She is meant to be someone with no real set personality and that adds to her struggle; similar to how they describe Hylla developing this chameleon personality to make her fit into a role. Calliope does that, she has her set of people she talks to; is different with a lot of them, and then her own things

Calliope is a Jealous person; maybe not by nature, but she ends up being quite envious. And she is meant to feel bad and not understand her own jealousy

She actively works to tear down Jason’s praetorship with the mutiny because she’s jealous he was chosen for the role; despite him being one of her closest friends and Calliope admiring him

Calliope turns to secretly be in contact with Gaea because Gaea fills a maternal hole Calliope doesn’t get fixed until Sally. And she ends up harming the Argo II’s mission with being caught up between helping Gaea discreetly and being manipulated by her, while trying to help her friends (maybe this is similar to Meg; I’ve only read the first couple chapters of Hidden Oracle because I took the break to read the Iliad, Odyssey, and Aeneid)

Other minor things that relate to her having these traits include her talking about people very negatively; when previously or right after talking with the person and being very friendly and positive with them and interacting with them. Trying to downplay certain peoples actions, etc

And Calliope’s thing is that she almost does it unintentionally at times; she genuinely likes being friends with people like Jason, the seven, Octavian, etc. Sorry if that doesn’t make much sense or if this is just bad characterization.

Her fatal flaw is being two-faced. It is her struggle to share true opinions and feelings over something because she thinks it will result in the person she is speaking with not liking her, or trying to get them to artificially enjoy her compainionship.

Okay! That’s all I really am thinking about to explain

I’ll hyperlink part one to here (once I figure out how to do that)

Part 1

Guys the Larry post will be… when I actually do sit down and write it but like aaaaah that’s for later me.

Anyway I just spent my morning drawing my silly little character,

Her arm is weird as hell but at 6:50 I didn’t want to re-do my draft and try to shove her hands to be visible in the pose because I like the look of her sitting there in a much more calmed rigid but relaxed pose (I usually draw her with her hands up in a surrender so I think having one of her hands behind her back in a very calm posing was a nice change of pace) but this is still Mercury (my oc I haven’t posted about in a while) and my oc fun fact that accompanied this post is that she is a bleach blonde and her hair is fried.

Anyway, Larry will be coming up but I was proud of my silly art and I was happy to finally draw someone with some form of background behind her. Do I know where she is? Of course not I just wanted to draw pillars because I had an excuse to make them a arch/doorway and I thought that was a nice little reference to Janus legacy stuff (forgot to draw her tattoo because she added onto it but I am not about to change the drawing again because I Finnicked with the colors of the lineart for WAY too long)

Maybe I’ll do bigger pictures like these for other characters- unlike my writing posts I make no promises.

Ranking post is I think like 1/4-1/8 finished! Well, the first round of concepts for the top of the hierarchy is, not mentioning the other stuff I have to mess with. Just the actual historical roles taken into account and my pride in my notes, except I tried drawing one of those pyramids you’d see that like explain the hierarchy and I messed up really badly-

Anyway, I don’t have much to say but here’s some Mercury and Octavian! Honestly just glad I got to draw them together.

*Also don’t mind how weird the speech bubbles read because I was tired and not considering how people would actually read the bubbles-

Mercury is the Calliope I mentioned way way back, and this is her current design (which is 100% going to change once I figure out what to do with her hair-)

But I don’t have much substance to this post, other than the re-imagining Ranking might completely be plowing over some of the established ranking (it’s just me adding in roles that were forgotten about and putting them into Camp and modifying their stuff to fit with camp. Camp just gets to be my little sandbox playground where I can demolish pieces for my re-imagining and then giggle about.

I also have a Bryce Lawerence hc post that is mostly just my random brain thoughts out on the post about possible things during exile. Literally none of them are backed up and just excuses for cool scenes in my head and to possibly write a little Bryce Lawerence exile story thing.

Okay, that’s it :3

I drew art! Guys I did the thing. Well- I’m in the ever perpetual process of doing the thing but uhhhh,

It’s Mercury and Octavian :3. I’ve affectionately started calling them the Gaea duo and it was a little unintentional to make them together but uhhhh. Yeah! Soon I’ll get maybe Michael and Dakota done, we’ll see. I also have a little comic panel piece for a SoN scene in the works but hhhhhhh-

Also the Octavian one is… probably gonna be re-worked? I like having these pictures as a way to reference my designs for the characters (the Larry one I drew way back when is great). But I’m still working out how I want Octavian to Octavian so uh- yeah. Maybe his siblings will get something one day, like names.

Also tomorrow marks the day I’m forcing myself to sit down and read through the Dark prophecy (as much as I can get through, hopefully all of it because I know I can finish that book in a day *I did it with SoN and tLT to what’s one more?*) and that means Lit stuff.

I love the silly goofy goober. Also maybe Oracle things? The setup for things like Dadonna was interesting and maybe possibly I’ll try my hand at our villains for this arc (I don’t know but ToA Nero has a HOLD on me. Purely just for how silly goofy in the worst way but he like ahfoaksnejak- so excited to see Caligula and Commodus :3)

Or I’ll give up everything and then there will be probably Harley something. Or stuff about the Augurculanum because Octavian so deserved to have one and it’s so weird that he didn’t like omg-

Seeing as I’ve been dreading doing the SoN re-write post because I don’t have the full outline done, I present,

SoN Re-Write; what I have done so far done in really informal terms

(P.S this is really long sorry guys-)

The Brain vomit ‘I think that’s how I wrote it in my notebook’ with all of the silly bits instead of it being more formal because I can leave the more ‘official’ I guess one for later when I do have the entire story outline roughly done. Anyway,

We start out with a sort of maybe prologue? I like prologues and they can help set up the story (I know tLH is going to have prologue type thing that’s Hera doing Hera stuff) but this prologue starts at the end of Percy’s wolfhouse training. He’s waking up from an Annabeth dream, he gets up and notices that both the pack and his training buddy are just.. gone? He walks through and sees Lupa, who says something something about like Rome and then gives the vague directions on how to get to Camp and it’s like “go south :3”

Then we’re at the stretch to get into Camp Jupiter it’s pretty much how chapter 1 of SoN goes down. Maybe we get word that Percy has like a backpack or something (so stuff like the pillow pet and where that’s been makes more sense because I forget how they explain Percy having the pillow pet goes down) and we like slash slash at the Gorgons and they reform, showing that something’s up and soon enough he’s running down and spots Calcedott tunnel and the two legionnaires (Hazel and Frank) freak for a second and call for him to get over to them.

Percy gets over to Hazel and Frank; who take him through the tunnels. It’s being debated if I want Hazel to collapse Calcedott (Is that what she does in the book? I don’t really remember-) to set up Hazel and her like, power. But Hazel is busy collapsing tunnels and stuff, so Frank is helping Percy, they get roughly to the Tiber as the Gorgons are back. Percy (with aid from Juno in a Homer-esque style) does the power thing and the Tiber does Tiber stuff. By that time a couple legionnaires had filed out including Reyna and Dakota as notable people. Reyna is like “woahzers” and Juno does Juno stuff behind the scenes and Dakota kinda like, shuffles his legionnaires + Percy and Reyna tells him to like, do stuff? Idk, she has to talk with some before before talking with Percy and trusts Dakota to like keep them in check- build up Dakota as a respected guy

So they get to walking camp and stuff Dakota explains what camp is until they reach the Principa They go through the Reyna questioning scene and then she tells them “Go to the Auguraculum so Octavian can like; double check that your supposed to be here” and like yeah. Dakota is excused to find Frank. When leaving the Principa Nico appears out of nowhere, says he needed to talk with Reyna about some stuff but would take the detour to walk with them.

We set up Hazel and Nico being siblings, Nico and Hazel not liking Octavian; all the good things. He wishes Hazel good luck and they enter the Auguraculum. It’s dimly lit apart from the skylight and smells, nicely; just a lot like incense. The central Dias lowers so Octavian can talk. Hazel and Octavian stare at each other silently, he tries to make a joke ease tension, it fails. Kinda drops that he knows it’s Juno who sent Percy here (Percy doesn’t know either, Octavian just like switches the topic and says that he’s the Augur so he should know this stuff) Ushers Percy and Hazel onto the Dias, claiming that it’s better to be closer up to the heavens, Hazel says something how at least it’s not dead animals so we can sneak in the animals fact. Octavian is cool and does the pillow pet thing (asks Percy if he has any stuffed animals with him that are significant. Percy fishes it out of his bag not expecting Octavian to take it) but the Gods say that Percy’s a-ok. We get the blackmail comment (this time including Calcedott’s collapse) and Octavian calls Percy back a second to slyly express interest in Percy joining the 1st; saying he has good potential. Hazel and Percy leave, we get a sneak peak of Mercury slipping into the Auguraculum after them

They leave. Maybe know is the Frank switch, I’m going back and forth on if I want PoV switching or if I want each book to just be in 1 PoV but for that PoV to switch- we’ll see.

Anyway we get to dinner; the legionnaires don’t like Percy because he relied on his powers and gets special God treatment. Frank’s back, if we don’t do PoV swap he complains about the armory stuff he had to do and then Hazel probably explains that the legionnaires don’t view powers positively (set up the dynamic of Hazel being more in tune with demigod life and the small underbelly of camp, make Frank a bit less experienced but able to be a little more comforting or something- idk). By now Dakota and Mercury slip over, Dakota makes a comment about people flitting between tables all the time, introduces Mercury as an Optio (we get the introduction to the Optio role). Dakota addresses her by her nickname Freddie- she quickly corrects Percy and tells him that only her friends call her Freddie (honestly the whole legion does she’s just salty that a Percy is the newest topic of discussion-) She grumbles a bit and gives a backhanded compliment about Percy’s Tiber incident and says that Octavian was talking about him. Dakota and Mercury maybe banter a bit, she says something about letters of recommendation; explains what those are before someone (Kahale) calls over for her and she’s gone.

By now Reyna calls up for the announcements. Welcomes Percy into the legion officially, here’s where he gets his Probatio tablet. Octavian asks about letter of recommendation, Percy vaguely remembers some envelopes in his bag (Juno planted them; she wanted her guy to succeed-) but they’re gone, or unusable or Percy simply is getting bad vibes from the 1st cohort between Mercury being a little snappy, Hazel and Nico not liking Octavian and stuff. So whatever, Octavian tries to make a case for having Percy join the 1st because of the talent he’s shown, Reyna shoots him down and Dakota snatches Percy up for the 5th. She announces war games, Percy makes eye contact with someone in the crowd whose been staring him down (Bryce Lawerence)

Yay okay, uh. A couple days later. Dakota drags Percy up to a Centurion meeting between the 5th, 4th, and 3rd because more opinions are better than none. Hazel and Frank come along. We meet Gwen!! The other Centurions sit there and are like “Dakota dude, why are they here”, Gwen smooths things over a bit. Uh, we meet her, she tells us that she’s the Senior Centurion of the 5th, daughter of Mithras; gets a personality, shown to be well-liked, easy going, positive. They all yap about stratagems or whatever, 5th gets to be the front lines. Dakota and Gwen bring Percy and Hazel over to the side and go “hey we kinda wanna be cool and like Romans so pretty please don’t use your powers because we want this win to feel genuine” or whatever. Uh, Bryce, is there after the meeting breaks up. Percy stumbles over when Bryce calls his name; he says he’s in the 2nd cohort and that, “it’s for losers who had good letters but weren’t strong enough for the Prima cohort (1st)” he’s sharpening an old family heirloom 1st cohort stamped Pilum (this is important information). Percy gets kinda gross vibes, but Bryce is a sleazy manipulative guy and they walk for a little. Percy notes that people seem to avoid Bryce while they walk, Bryce talks about how he admires Percy using his powers and says how he should in the war games because “Everyone’s on their high horses here and don’t know what it really takes to win” Percy walks back to the barracks conflicted.

War games, war games!!!! Goes pretty much how the actual war games go. Uh, set up that is was indeed Bryce who stabbed Gwen, Octavian is still missing his Pilum. Mars shows up, he’s having trouble staying Roman at the moment, claims Frank, then is splitting a bit too much- gets a couple lines of prophecy out before having to go. All eyes go on Octavian, Reyna diffuses, says to go about their days and they’ll go to the Senate with this soon.

Soon is, the next day at 5:30 sharp. Dakota wakes up Percy, Frank, and Hazel. Explains the Senator stuff while tugging on his toga, says that Gwen’s been inside of New Romes actual hospital due to the severity of her wounds. They head to Camp, Percy notes that he hasn’t seen Bryce since their talk two days ago. Uh, Senate meeting pretty much goes as expected, Octavian gets to actually dish out a prophecy like the cool Augur he is (Mumbles under his breath a little about how it’s not quite a proper prophecy). A Senator proposes Octavian lead the quest seeing as he is the Senior Centurion of the first cohort. He awkwardly says that his job as Augur is too important and that he wouldn’t have quest mates eligible for this mission (elude to Mercury’s family line *The Varus family* being cursed and standard loosing and that Octavian would want to bring his buddies. But bringing Mercury and Michael means there’s no one in charge of the 1st, and Reyna has too much stuff on her plate-) Reyna kinda does Octavian a solid and switches the topic to the fact That Frank was asked to go on the quest by Mars. Everyone (and Cato the Youngers ghost is still there in the audience because I’m sorry but that was a really funny inclusion-) are all in uproar because excuse me that’s a Probatio. Reyna gets enough votes to makes Frank a Centurion (After we get that cameo by Gwen in the crowd saying that she got her honorable discharge from the legion.) Frank picks Percy and Hazel to go on the quest and yay or whatever. Reyna mentions them packing and Octavian bringing them to the docks to go immediately, says there’s more important things and as Octavian is leading them out Percy sees Bryce being dragged up to the center of the Senate room.

Octavian’s kinda iffy. Respecting Reyna’s choice but doesn’t think Frank (or any of them) are ready for a quest like this maybe aside from Percy (look when a guy shows up covered in battle scars, invulnerable, and very strong you take him seriously too). Makes a comment about how they could’ve gone and used one of the legion cars but Someone collapsed Caldecott; Hazel quips back and Frank is like “stop fighting >:((“ and they walk out. Get to the docks where Octavian gives them their stuff, wishes them the best of luck, makes a kinda good joke about how he wouldn’t be good for the quest anyway knowing his families luck with boats (haha Augustus Caesar boat joke-) and off they go :D

Okay that’s all I have drafted out right now that I’m confident on. I have to go re-read how the actual quest-quest part of SoN works through because the order is jumbled in my brain and it’s all like soupy until they get to the iceberg with Enceladus.

I just realized important information about one of my OCS, they don't legally exist.

Here! My first post and my first percy jackson character.

Her name was Astrea Wang. Daughter of Nyx.

Sorry for my grammar. English isn't my first language.
