video ][ action ][ desert city

[ethos]

[ Crash landings in random cities that don't exist on any map — all in all, it's not something Percy's entirely unfamiliar with. It really could've been a lot worse. He's still not exactly happy about it, not least because he's wearing a ridiculous bed sheet-turned-toga and purple cape. This would've looked weird, if there were any people out here to appreciate it. At least his brain seems mostly in check this time.

So, City, say hello to a peeved-off son of Poseidon. He's been walking the desert, trying to find signs of A.) donut shops B.) suspicious bag ladies or C.) water. The network device isn't on that list, but he'll take what he can get: ]

Let me guess. Arizona? New Mexico?

[ He doesn't sound like he believes either. ]

Yeah... If this is another test, I'm pretty sure I'm bombing it.

Not of the blood related variety, no.

I guess people we already know would be too much to expect.

IT happens sometimes, Percy. People show up later that we know from different points in time. It's interesting. Not that it's happened to me.

The only being I've met who'd even be able to do that is out of commission. And he wasn't really interested in letting people live long enough for that sort of thing in the first place.

That sucks.

In a nutshell.

Thanks for the info, Charlie.

You're welcome. When the City has reverted back to what's considered normal, I'll tell you more about this place. I promise.

[ethos]

I'll hold you to that. Let me know if there's any way I can help.

I shall, I shall. See you around, Percy.
