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?

Met him? Hitchhiker's Guide, Life, The Universe and Everything was based on me.

[Well, sort of. Hand-wavey-meta stuffs.]

[awondrousplace]

Well!

[There's a laugh over the network.]

That is certainly an accomplishment. I do not believe we have met, darling. I am Helena Wells. Originally of London in the Victorian era.

[not_the_question]

Honestly, just the story of my life.

[He pauses for a moment.]

'Originally', so you're not from there now?

I'm the Doctor. In London, I'm originally from the 60s.

[awondrousplace]

I spent approximately a century as a bronze statue. Not something I'd recommend.

Good to meet you, Doctor. May I ask what it is that you are a doctor of?

[not_the_question]

Ah, so was it because of you that the horse's organs were the way they were?

[Everything else seemed to have a cause and effect, why not that?]

Practically everything.

[It's the easy answer.]
