dehiatus and +1 idiot demigod

[horsesaround]

Hey there everyone! Olga aka Karl/Richard-mun here! My hiatus is just about done and I should be fully back by Sunday (though with some slow till Wednesday due to teeth issues). Expect backtags and pinging about threads soon!

In addition to all that, I have also finally apped in a second character! This is Percy Jackson from those wonderful Percy Jackson and the Olympians/Heroes of Olympus books. He used to be the son of Poseidon with all these fun water powers and junk. Now he's Jason Perkins, just your average 17 year old sophomore (he failed a grade whoops) at Locke City High School who's been able to talk to horses since he was 10 and mayyyy kinda be helping rig horse races down at the race track. He also has a super snarky mouth and is SUPER big on standing up to bullies and not afraid to get into a fight.

That said, if you play a kid at the high school, feel free to have them been helped by Jason or gotten into a fight with Jason or whatever else. Teachers feel free to have broken up fights/lectured him about grades/given him detention for mouthing off. He also works at the race track as a janitor/horse caretaker when he's not rigging races if anyone wants to have met him down there.

And yeah, I think that's about it. Jason's intro will probably go up on Sunday. If anyone needs me for plotting or whatever, feel free to ping me on plurk at Shaorune or on AIM at hyperkitsune! Great to be back, guys~

SO HOW 'BOUT THAT HORSE-TALKING KID WHO STANDS UP TO BULLIES AND THAT DEAD KID WHO KEEPS GETTING SHOVED OVER BY BULLIES, EH

aka Jason has probably saved Danny from a black eye and an atomic wedgie before. Hell, he's probably done it more than once.

also, y'know, hi and shit, welcome back after your hiatus, etc. etc.

[horsesaround]

THE DEAD KID PROBABLY GOT TO WATCH THOSE BULLIES GET THEIR FACES SHOVED INTO A WALL BY HORSE TALKING KID.

by which i mean, yes i can definitely see this having happened with jason having gotten a couple detentions in the process~

haha thanks thanks. ♥

[darkinferno]

...can i just take a moment to say how excited i am to see percy here. Because I love the little sassmaster and I WOULD LOVE to get him and Riku some CR at some point. I HAVE A FEELING THEY WOULD BE SNARK-BUDDIES.

...Maybe. Depending. Dante's kind of an asshole. But that aside. I am looking forward to seeing Jason around!

[lightsoflife]

I'm going to take a second to laugh like mad that you named him Jason.

But yes good PERCY.

[pokebonnet]

Oh man, I love PJO. This is gonna be raddddd.

(Also, I'm gonna bring in a horse character in a month or two so I'm looking forward to someone who can talk her language when I do.)

[testsonseashells]

percy is jason

if someone doesn't reincarnate jason grace with the name percy i will be severely disappointed

[horsesaround]

The excitement is mutual about seeing a Riku here~ THEY WOULD BE THE BEST SNARK BUDDIES.

Hmm if Dante goes to Locke High, maybe they could have a class together?

[horsesaround]

I SWEAR I GOT THE IDEA BEFORE READING HOO TOO. All I want now is someone to app Jason and name him Percy.

It's only good until he starts snarking and punning.

[lightsoflife]

I need this in my life, yes. Then Jason and Percy can remember each other and they can never talk about their past lives without getting confused again.

That goes double for Percy humor. Always need that dam sense of humor.

[horsesaround]

I keep on trying to make a snarky comment but everything I come up with sounds a bit too fishy. But yes it shall and I cannot wait to get some CR with Grandma Curry, just saying.

(Oh man that'll be so fun! I was actually hoping to have him just chat with a horse like that ngl)

[horsesaround]

so will i!! it's just such a perfect opportunity for confusion and silliness.

[horsesaround]

Yup. There would probably be a point in that conversation that Percy just says OKAY NO WE'RE DONE. PAST ME IS GETTING CALLED FRANK AND WE CAN CALL PAST YOU BOB. PROBLEM SOLVED. Yup.

The dam aliens only wish they had it on their side.

[lightsoflife]

...But what about the characters Frank and Bob.

IT WON'T END.

[pokebonnet]

Yessssss. She'll be Shou's horse and annoyed he's been ignoring her because of the network.

[darkinferno]

SADLY DANTE JUST GRADUATED LAST MAY but it's possible that they may have had a class together last year? Like one of those gen ed classes that everybody gets shunted into. Or we could definitely arrange them to run into each other outside of the network, too; maybe at the racetrack or even just something completely innocent like grocery shopping idk

[horsesaround]

Exactly! More confusion and more names till Jason Jason finally gives up and picks not fail names himself.

THE DAM SONG THAT NEVER ENDS. ahaha Percy is so remembering this one day.

[horsesaround]

Oh, at the racetrack could be fun! Dante could catch him talking to the horses and the fun could go from there, maybe?

[horsesaround]

Gosh, how could you, Shou! Is she gonna be able to speak right away or not?

[pokebonnet]

You know, that's a good question! She's going to get Mindspeech, which'll let her psychically talk to people, but idk if that will work on the Network. (I'll be asking about it on the app.) She won't ever actually get talk out loud to people, though. The weird not-horse thing she's echoing back into being just communicates psychically or makes horse noises.

[decelerate]

ahhhh i'm not familiar with the canon at all, but i've always loved playing against percy's! i would definitely love to have school shenanigans with him since dallen is a sixteen year old who prolly could've fought alongside jason against bullies.

also hi hello i am bird, i play dallen sutherland (davesprite). \o/

[horsesaround]

Gotcha gotcha! Well, if nothing else, she'll be able to speak normally with Percy~

[horsesaround]

oh yeah i would love that! dallen and him could have tackled some bullies together and then maybe enjoyed the other's company in detention?

it's nice to meet you, bird! :3

[decelerate]

yes, for sure! they prolly made fun of the bullies they beat up (or got beat up by, whichever works). it's a great bonding experience, i think.

[horsesaround]

they could have always tried to beat up bullies together twice, one fail and one win? and then the making fun of them after both times for more bonding sounds perfect.

[decelerate]

that's fine by me! \o/ they got better after the first failed attempt, and that's why they won, heh.

[horsesaround]

they fought against the same guys, kicked butt this time and totally bffed it up in detention that day~

[darkinferno]

Definitely! Dante'd be interested enough in finding out why he's talking to horses that he'd definitely have to stop and figure out what was going on.

[horsesaround]

Sounds like a plan! Shall we log this out, then~?
