Plan 2 → [video]

[ Have one demigoddess daughter of Athena, Vatheon.

She's a little shaken up after her first curse week because she's not one to open up to people too quickly, even at the best of times. Her strategic warrior mind says that is a nono. However, the tell-no-lies curse had quickly put an end to that.

And how. This last week she has given away her demigoddess heritage (another nono), her thoughts on the attractiveness of others (boyfriend equals a nono here too), her night-time activities with said boyfriend (BIG NONO) and what colour panties she is wearing (…does she even have to say it?).

As a result, this post will be short, sharp and to the point. In the name of ~~science~~ research. ]

Hey bubble. I notice that the items in Nostalgia Nook actually cost something when everything else round here is free. Even housing and such. Any idea why?

[ She won’t mention the experiments that the scientists are doing on the captives here in her initial post as they are monitoring the network, but she strongly suspects the two topics are linked. She’s keen to talk about them if she gets a more secure line of communication though. ]

[He looks mortified when she laughs at him.]

Thank you. That's all I'm asking.

[It's because it was them that he was embarrassed. Geeze, Annabeth.]

[ She's laughing with you Leo. With you! Aaaand because you're so cute when you're flustered. ]

So! Um. Met any nice girls lately?

[Well, he didn't know that!]

No. Not since before the curse.

[ This whole conversation is one big ball of awkward. Annabeth wonders if they should leave it alone until another time, but then they've already done enough of that. ]

Just checking. I don't know. I just hope you're having fun here.

[He smiles at this.]

Yeah, I'm having fun. Still miss the rest of our friends from back home. But I've met some pretty awesome bros and fembros here.

[ She smiles more hopefully this time. ]

Well good. There are some really interesting people here. The troll culture is fascinating.

Yeah, the ones I've met have all been cool. Can't say I've learned too much about their culture though.

That reminds me. Gamzee gave me a bottle of Faygo and said we should split it. To mend the bond or something.

[He waves it off. He's had too many other things on his mind since then to remember the exact reasoning behind why Gamzee thought it would work.]

One of them told me all about their concept of romance. It was pretty complicated.

...Faygo. Really? Do you think that's a troll thing or...?

I mean, sure, we can do that.

Percy told me Karkat had tried explaining that to him too.

Yeah. I don't know. Gamzee called it a "wicked elixir" but I looked at the bottle and it's just soda.

[ Annabeth laughs. Karkat's explanation to Percy had definitely inspired one of his Seaweed Brain moments. ] Yep, he sure did.

"Wicked elixir". Hey, I'm all for trying new customs. Meet you in the dining room?

Edited 2013-05-29 09:18 (UTC)

Yeah. Meet you there in a minute.

[He heads into the kitchen, clipping his SFC to his tool belt as he walks. Leo heads straight for the fridge to pull out the bottle of Faygo from it.]

[ Annabeth's already in the kitchen when Leo arrives because her bedroom is closer. She turns from the cupboard holding the glasses as Leo approaches. ]

Did Gamzee say anything about how we were supposed to drink the faygo? Are we supposed to put it into glasses or...?

He said to "slam one together." I don't know if that means like a toast or chugging it. [He shrugs.] But glasses are a good idea. [He walks over to one of the kitchen stools and sits down on one, setting the bottle of soda down on the table.]

Hmm. I'm up for toasting and chugging if you are? [ It's not very ladylike but Annabeth doesn't care. Grabbing two glasses, she also walks to the table and sets them both down before sitting down herself. ] I'll let you do the honours and pour, since it's your soda.

Sounds like a plan to me. [Leo laughs as he opens the bottle of Faygo, pouring it evenly between the two glasses.]

[Once done, he picks up his glass and holds it up for a toast.] To friendship and uh... [He's not sure what else to add so he just trails off.]

[ Annabeth meets his glass with her own and laughs. ] Friendship and curses not getting in the way of it. Cheers! [ And she does her best to chug the soda back, hoping she doesn't hiccup in the process. ]

Cheers! [Leo chugs his down quickly. Burping afterward.] Excuse me. [He says quietly.]

[ Annabeth burps too. Whoops. ] No excuse me.

[Leo laughs.] Nice one.

[ Annabeth laughs too. ] Maybe that's what Gamzee meant by slamming one.

[He continues to laugh.] Who knows. I'll have to ask him next time I talk to him.

Yes! Let me know what he says. [ Annabeth grins, feeling much more comfortable. ]

No. I'm going to ask him and keep it to myself. [He shakes his head.] Of course I'll let you know.

Keep it to yourself and I'll kick your ass. [ She's grinning and raising her eyebrow ]

Are you trying to scare me or something? [He raises his eyebrow in return.]
