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?

Ah, I knew there was a catch. Other than the whole sleeping forever thing.

Are you calling me a wuss?

I'm hoping to find one eventually or maybe construct one out of atoms.

No, but that's one of the symptoms of a Baddreamic, a heavy smattering of wussitude. Were you, by any chance, bitten by a Trauma Llama?

...you can do that? Just make things out of atoms?

No. I mean. There was a traumatic event that spurred this, I guess.

Atoms are the liars of nature! Everything is made up with atoms. [ lol science joke. ]

Recently? That's not surprising. Oh my, I'm sorry.

...right. I never did very well in science.

[He laughs, softly.]

I mean there have been a lot of traumatic events, but this one in particular is the most recent and the one that's bothering me.

Taking a break from all your worries sure would help a lot.

[ Wouldn't you like to get away...? ]

A gumball for your thoughts? Or is it too personal?

I guess that's what this place kind of is. I just need to accept that I'll be here awhile. I keep feeling like I'll go back any second.

Right before we landed here, my girlfriend and I were falling into the deepest pit of the underworld.

[ Even his candy dungeon would be a break from falling into the deepest pit of the underworld. ]

I imagine many terrifying things were down there worthy of creating nightmares.

[Percy pales.]

...yeah. I've been trying not to think too much about that. But it's hard.

Very well! As it appears to give you the flobbideedeebidees, we don't need to talk about it anymore!
