WEEK 13 - I can't lie to you about your chances, but you have my sympathies.

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (13)

sunday (41) survivors Something in the air breaks, shattering from deep within space itself - and to accompany that sensation is a psychic scream. The ship shakes, coming to a screeching halt as a bright light explodes outside it. It pulses, not unlike a heartbeat, that crawls and crawls along at a slow, grueling pace. The last illusion has been broken, the last mental tie severed and crushed. You've done well up until now, and you can reap the benefits of Her labor; the dead walk among you, after all, and as Her scream rings out, a burst of energy shoots through the residents of the Pygmalion. It's clearly a desperate bid, but it doesn't root itself in place. Instead, you feel lighter than ever - Her attempt to claim you has only unraveled the string that kept you in place. The 40% limit has been lifted, and you are at full capacity. The chains have been broken. Go freely, heroes. taken list profiles private conversations setting rulebook ENTER COMMAND_

[Ah okay now it all makes sense! Except for the part where it doesn't and Luke's left staring at her blankly.]

...what. [What?] You've gotta be kidding, we just finished a great prophecy! [He's more annoyed that Annabeth got dragged into something so shortly after the last prophecy wrapped up.] How'd you find out about the Roman camp?

[wises]

Hera [ said like she's cursing, because she...basically is... ] decided the only way we'd defeat the giants and Gaea - spoiler alert, those were a thing - was if the camps combined forces and decided the best way to do that would be to kidnap and mindwipe someone from our camp and switch them out with a kidnapped mindwiped member of their camp.

[ she's still salty. ]

She took Percy. We got Jason Grace.

[ ...and she'd taken ages to warm up to the guy. but jason had started off on the wrong foot by not being percy jackson. ]

Eventually we tracked Percy down at New Rome - their camp - and then a bunch of stuff happened and we had to quest to actual legitimate Greece. And I had to find the Parthenos on the way. Again: a lot happened.

[The fact that his expression is an actual, legitimate lineface should say enough of what he thinks about Hera pulling shit like this and can't they just let everybody rest? There's a weird expression following when Annabeth mentions Gaea because that sure is ironic, considering what was on the Pygmalion, but there's a lot to tackle here and while he's sure there are a lot more important questions here he can't help but focus on one.]

Jason Grace. [...that...is absolutely a coincidence. Yeah. Okay.] So on top of all of that, then you woke up in a pod on the Nuwa and had to survive for a few weeks and here we are. [A hand comes up to rub at his eyes.] ...then again if anybody was going to find the Parthenos it'd be you anyway.
