“The other will I know is kinda a pussy about it- oh yeah, in case you didn’t know, multiverse shit happens. And uh… yeah. Oh but- don’t worry, he wasn’t dead or anything.” Kay added on- as if that would help the situation?? It really wouldn’t. “So he’s like- kinda chilling. Also attracting the attention of like all the gods- but what’s new about that? The gods are just whores, not his fault.”

“Hang on, multiverse? Like Miles Morales. Oh my god—you’ve met other versions of me? What are they like? Are they, uh, dating anyone?” Like Nico maybe, his mind supplied.

“..Uh.. yeah, I think the only ones I’ve seen are dating Nico, yeah? You guys are like… the gays. That’s a good thing, by the way.”

“Oh, hey, that’s a good sign. I think.” Will grins. “But I’m bi.”

“..I mean, I know that. It’s just more amusing to say ‘the gays’, you know?” Kay would smile a bit back- yeah, look, she loves the will she knows, he’s a funny guy, but at least this one isn’t losing it when something happens… or getting stabbed on the ides of March- man she felt bad when that happens- but then again, someone let that fucker into the infirmary so it’s their fault-

“The other will I know is kinda a pussy about it- oh yeah, in case you didn’t know, multiverse shit happens. And uh… yeah. Oh but- don’t worry, he wasn’t dead or anything.” Kay added on- as if that would help the situation?? It really wouldn’t. “So he’s like- kinda chilling.

“Well I mean, yeah. I’ve seen a few Percy’s actually- you, then a ‘Dionysus child’ Percy- not really, he’s more just- if you being ‘claimed’ counted and Dionysus kept up the charade. Then there’s that swap one you met once, I believe? Child of Athena. They’re all so silly. There’s a lot of versions of people.. you’ll get used to it, kid.” She stated and gave him a pat on the back, as if this was the most normal thing to ever exist.

[percy laughs] yeah, i’ve been doing a whole lot of getting used to things in my life.

“Yeah, tons of universes- like there’s even one where Eve’s dad was born in Ancient Rome with Commodus- good lord they’re aggressive gays. There’s a few Apollos I’ve met- one is where he lets go of the godly title, I think Commodus is actually friends with that one- him and his Hyacinthus had their wedding at his palace. There’s-“ she snapped her fingers as she remembered it, she smiled as she looked to him, “Did you know there’s actually a Zeus that’s being nice to everyone and trying to change his ways? There’s also a Hera I’ve seen that broke up with Zeus- good lord is watching the timelines merge SO silly.”

i don’t know that i’d be able to keep all of that straight, props to you. [percy laughs a little] i wouldn’t trust a benevolent zeus, i don’t think.

“Oh, neither did like- anyone else. He actually died a while back? Pandora killed him- but she later brought him back to life because everyone was deviated. Aelos, Hephaestus, his Hera, multiple Athena’s I think, along with some other people. Theres a lot that’s happened, it’s crazy.”

“Well I mean, yeah. I’ve seen a few Percy’s actually- you, then a ‘Dionysus child’ Percy- not really, he’s more just- if you being ‘claimed’ counted and Dionysus kept up the charade.

"What do you mean the Greeks have AN EXCHANGE PROGRAM. WHAT."

“Good job finally figuring it out, chuckle fuck.” Kay hummed from nearby- yep, just there, again.

"AH-" He jumped and nearly stabbed the person that was there. "Gods- fuck. I'm going to actually stab you one of these days if you KEEP DOING THIS-"

“I mean, Commodus hasn’t stabbed me yet and I always appear outta nowhere. Annnnnyyyyyywayyysss how’s it going, Mr stabby stab?”

"That doesn't mean I won't- whatever." He blinked a couple of times before collecting himself again. "I'm sorry, did you just call me 'Mr stabby stab'? What the shit-"

“I wanted to see how much you’re actually paying attention. Anyways, how’s it going, Octavius?

"...I'm going to go drown myself in the little Tiber if you call me that again. What. Why. Why are you like this."

“Well, probably spending the majority of my time in the underworld as a child, doesn’t help. Anyhow, how are you today?” Kay asked casually with a smile

"...right I forgot you were weird as all hell- literally hell. I've been trying to do my job and kept getting interrupted, you?" He pushed his bangs out of his eyes.

“Been alright.. nothing much. Been watching the chaos of Commodus’ family, been doing my own stuff like getting into pottery- been mostly staying in the Greek camp, though.”

"...there's chaos in Commodus's family?" He paused. "Nevermind, I don't think I want to know. Uh, pottery? You? That sounds like the most tame thing you've ever done- shit, I guess you are capable of doing normal stuff."

“Oh, course I can. Just mostly decide not to- it’s fun to just ball, ya know? Also- there’s just always chaos with Commodus and his husband.”

"...I'm scared to ask what you mean by that. Anyway- I guess? I mean, he did make me stab him so- yeah. Fun. I guess. Didn't meet the husband though, kinda don't wanna."

Kay laughed softly, “Pffh.. you haven’t seen Commodus yet, if you haven’t seen him ‘round Lucas.”

"...I feel like getting back up to the world of the living was a bad choice now."

“Suck it up, buttercup because if you think this is wild you better fucking strap in.”

"Never call me buttercup again." He looked at the temple hill. Was his job really worth coming back to life for?

“Eh, you’ll get used to it.” She gave him a pat on the shoulder, she was about to walk off, but then looked to him again, “Wait- have you been to Commodus’ place yet? You should go check it out. Tons of shit there.”

"So fae that is not going well." He literally jumped when she pat him on the shoulder- yep, still getting used to the touch thing after coming back. "No I have not, and I don't think I want to-"

“Mmm sounds like someone’s being a pussy. Most his kids are harmless if you don’t piss them off. ‘Sides, you might see a few familiar faces.” She almost laughed when the slightly older teen jumped, oh man this poor kid.

"No, I just have a job. A pretty important one, at that. Yeah?" He looked at her with a really weird look on his face. "...familiar faces?"

“The good kind.”

"What do you mean the Greeks have AN EXCHANGE PROGRAM. WHAT."

“Good job finally figuring it out, chuckle fuck.” Kay hummed from nearby- yep, just there, again.

"AH-" He jumped and nearly stabbed the person that was there. "Gods- fuck. I'm going to actually stab you one of these days if you KEEP DOING THIS-"

“Eh, you’ll get used to it.” She gave him a pat on the shoulder, she was about to walk off, but then looked to him again, “Wait- have you been to Commodus’ place yet? You should go check it out. Tons of shit there.”

“Oh- did no one tell you that yet?” Kay asked, again, seemingly just existing there without you noticing before

No? First I heard about it. Seems like everyone is coming back from the dead nowadays [he says casually, as if the conversation partner didnt literally appear out of nowhere]

“He followed eve’s dad out of the underworld, but I didn’t tell you that.” Kay shrugged as she said this, “—Also he should grow a pair. He was intimidated by me. Imagine being intimidated by a white woman or at least white looking woman in a the dye shirt.”

“Oh, nah, I just showed up randomly- also that- I’ve got no clue. Not sure Lucas is really that human. I mean- humans are not able to usually physically make contact with spirits and shit- their family is weird.” Kay shrugged at that- because holy shit the Jordans REALLY are weird

Maybe a legacy? [He says before remembering eve is Greek. But then again its not really unprecedented to have multiple pantheon in one family] or some residue from nyx? Magically, not physically [he elaborates]

“I think Lucas is roman- but someone tried to attack him with a blade and it didn’t work. I’m not gonna lie, I think half of eve’s weirdness came from that dude. I once saw him climbing into a window of the palace. Do you know how high up that stuff is??”

Yeah, I really need to meet this guy. Everything ive heard about this guy is off the rocker. [He says before pausing and reconsidering] that or I need to stay far far away, but im probably not gonna do that.

“You should see the rumors going round Roman areas about him- it’s a riot. He’s a big sweetheart, but kinda digging yourself out of the underworld as an alive man, marrying Commodus, etcetera.. sorta adds to a portfolio, ya know?”

[Will nods along and then adds in own two cents] not to mention letting octavion out, and making apparently making commodus and i guess other gods fold like a lawn chair [he adds the two things he'd managed to hear on his own as well]

“I don’t think he meant either of those things- but it’s kinda funny they happened. I won’t lie it’s hilarious what happened- in fact I think right now some people are trying to urge him to ask Erebus out or something.” The demigod snickered softly, oh good gods it was amusing to watch

[Will sighs] why would anyone want to date- [will pauses, realizing that three of the people he dislikes most are apparently romantically entangled with this guy to some degree so actually] no that makes sense. Some people have bad taste. Like really bad atrocious taste in romantic partners

“They’re smitten for him, that’s why- are the gods all assholes? Yep. Do they act like it around him? N o p e . I mean Erebus is surprisingly chill from what I’ve seen- unlike Phanes, they’re a little bitchy to mortals- you’d be surprised, actually, Nyx is becoming.. decent? Eh, not my place to judge.”

I mean not all the gods. [Will says a bit defensively. Neglectful and egotistical sure m, but outright assholes? Seemed like a bit of a stretch for him] just yknow. Certain ones that take every bad thought you had and bad thing that happened to you and turn it into a physical creature that other people can see [will says, as if its not literally an event that he witnessed]

“Oh come on, everyone can do that.” Kay said with a huff, as if she literally thought everyone could do that. She just crossed her legs, “Nyx got so emotional she cried the other day when Eve called her mama.. kinda amusing how just a couple people can make a god whistle a different tune.”

... no they can't. [Will says, making intense eye contact in this moment as he presses his palms together, his hands clasped in front of him] you know thay right? Tell me you that isnt a normal thing for people to do.

“…OH YEAH SHIT- forgot about that…. The goobers are just so silly”

[Will's face scrunches a bit as he really doesnt know how to respond to that] the goobers though. They're your own cocoa- cacodemons right? Not someone elses?

“..fuck if I know, man. Half the time I just exist and something follows me back- it’s like I’m a chaos magnet.”

[Will pauses before sighing] yeah sure. Thats another thing thats apparently true now. Not the worst or weirdest thing thats happened.

“Honestly this doesn’t seem that weird to me- at least it’s not like being a kid in the underworld and being picked up by the scruff while you get your full legal name stayed to you-“ she made a flat hand gesture and looked to Will, “-look, it’s not my fault I can get past the underworld tsa easily.”

Less weird and more- [will doesnt finish that thought, instead switching tracks] is that something that actually happened to you?

“…Which thing? Regardless, yes.”

All of it? I kind of assumed this was all one event [will explains, trying to wrap his head around it] and i thought Cthonic kids were fine goin into the underworld nowadays?

“…By tsa I mean I was mistakenly sucked into the line of souls and I had to wait to get bailed out. Hermes is getting sloppy, I tell you- also I’m not a Cthonic kid.”

Huh?? [Will stares at them like they've grown a second head] then why were you in the underworld???

“…Because why not??”

Because it- [will pauses before sighing] yeah why not. I guess because its hard to get to?

“..Not really, if you know the right way to go.”

Its in California [will says skeptically, because a cross country trip is hard enough on its own]

“Oh shit, it is?? I just kinda like- go there. For example, following shades- that makes it easy.”

[Will points at them] ah, but most people cant see shades. Difficult. Wait, why can you see them if youre not cthonic?

Well, at this point, I’m just spewing random shit to him, she just leaned back and blankly said, “Bitch I’m not even a demigod, I dunno how I got into this AT ALL.”

[Will pauses, heading to a window and glancing out at Thalia's tree, which yep is still standing there] then how are you even in camp? What?

“…wow, so, you’re not gonna question the odd melting-ish thing or any of that, and you’re gonna question how I got to camp instead? …Fair. I just sorta wandered in one day, pure accident- then everyone said I was a demigod and I just sorta felt too awkward to correct them.”

I already questioned the melting thing. I spent days questioning the melting thing and the bone feeding and the melting thing again. [Will explains] and i found out that they just dont have answers, so im asking a question that might. Thank you. Maybe youre cursed?

“..How the fuck would I know if I’m cursed or not?? If I am cursed, though, it might be because of all the stupid shit I do- like- being a child and making dark spaces for the shades in my room because I felt like light hurt them, in my stupid child reasoning, so I’d make dark spaces for them when I turn on the lights.”

[Will pauses because when he heard stupid thing he though it was going to be like drinking bleach or picking fights with gods, but that-] thats actually kind of adorable [he says, trying not to let too much amusement creep into his smile]

“Sshhhh no it’s not, it was fucking stupid-“

No it was sweet [will says, they restraints on his face slowly starting to slip from his grasp]

“I liked it better when you were concerned about me.” Kay just huffed to herself, crossing her arms.

"What do you mean the Greeks have AN EXCHANGE PROGRAM. WHAT."

“Good job finally figuring it out, chuckle fuck.” Kay hummed from nearby- yep, just there, again.

"AH-" He jumped and nearly stabbed the person that was there. "Gods- fuck. I'm going to actually stab you one of these days if you KEEP DOING THIS-"

“I mean, Commodus hasn’t stabbed me yet and I always appear outta nowhere. Annnnnyyyyyywayyysss how’s it going, Mr stabby stab?”

“I wanted to see how much you’re actually paying attention. Anyways, how’s it going, Octavius?

Fucking wheezing at this

Loosing it at every single message in here its iconic
