Percy is so very sorry

[mightypen]

So uh… funny thing. You guys remember how I can do that water stuff? Well, okay maybe some of you don’t know because I’ve been gone since forever and have some memory problems.

[Again.]

So hi newbies, I’m Percy. I’m mostly harmless and like blue things and can breathe underwater… among other things.

Anyway, I’m gonna apologize in advance for whatever shenanigans my dad’s side of the family puts us through. They’re not all that bad, really, they’re just…. well, they’re gods. They don’t really get humans all that well.

Blah blah blah, my dad’s Poseidon and that might either really help us here or turn out terribly for me depending. I can help you guys with cover stories if you end up having to use your powers or whatever out in public, demigods aren’t exactly a new thing and if you say you’re one most folks probably won’t be too upset if you break something.

Try not to break things though, it’s not nice.

I can give folks pointers on do's and don't's of ancient Greek society too, though it's mostly "don't claim to be something you're not" and in this case... "Assume everyone might be a god in disguise, even the animals because Zeus is a bit odd sometimes" and don't take sides if asked to judge something.

Uh... I guess folks can also check in here?

Animal legs. With hooves.

There isn't an easy way to ask this...

[fridgeninja]

Is there most of a horse in between those legs?

[girlexmachina]

[There's a long pause.]

If "horse" is those large animals people have pulling carts, then yes, that's a pretty good description of what I look like right now.

[fridgeninja]

That's a horse.

[girlexmachina]

Okay, then. I'm half horse.

Why am I half horse?

[fridgeninja]

It's something that happens sometimes to help us blend in. I saw someone local with goat legs; so there must be people like that here.

[girlexmachina]

Is it permanent?

[fridgeninja]

You'll definitely be able to turn back at the end of the Jaunt.

[girlexmachina]

Thank you. That's definitely a relief.
