Quest ♆ oo1 [video]

[Percy looks tired. He's in his pajamas and drinking milk at the counter in his kitchen.]

Hey, people of Vatheon. I figure it's about time I introduced myself on here. So far I've met some really cool people, and it's helping me get my bearings in this strange new place.

[He takes a swig of the milk, then wipes away a milk mustache with his sleeve. So classy.]

So anyway. I'm Percy Jackson. Been here a couple weeks now.

[His smile fades.]

I haven't been sleeping well. Anyone have any tips?

That would be me. You must be Dirk. Love the shades, dude.

I don't really have anything to work on. Leo and Annabeth both have things they're working on, but I landed here a little more empty handed. But Leo did mention that you might be willing to spar? I do have my sword.

[He holds up a black ballpoint pen as he mentions the sword.]

Bingo. Full points for use of your brain, but flattery will get you nowhere.

[He eyes the ballpoint pen.] Interesting sword. I was told it was three feet long. Apparently looks are deceiving.

Yeah, I'm up for it. Fighting robots gets boring as shit after a while, especially when you're the one who gave them all their moves.

That's not flattery, I just like your shades.

It's a grower, not a shower.

[He uncaps the pen and it grows into a three foot long sword. Riptide.]

Huh. Automatons?

[shippingmath]

Whatever you say, bro.

[A lifetime of practice helps Dirk keep a straight face. Whether he was about to laugh at that line, or look surprised at the sword, no one knows.]

You could call them that. I make 'em myself.

[persea]

Very cool. No wonder Leo likes you.

[shippingmath]

What, not because of my wit and devastating good looks? Damn.

[persea]

[Percy laughs.]

Yeah, that probably doesn't hurt. You know I think I've heard him say that exact sentence before.

[Video]

[shippingmath]

I weep for the loss of my originality, but there are worse people to sound like.

[Video]

[persea]

Well maybe he didn't phrase it the same way. Anyway. Did you want to get together and spar sometime?

[shippingmath]

Whenever you're up for it, bro. I figure you've sorted out your newbie shit by now?
