interactive dream - tartarus a

[ooc: description of tartarus is here. I just... forgot to mention it]

[the air is stifling. Percy's legs buckle as he falls to his knees. he's here. he's here again, even if his mind says there's no possible way. the air is stifling and hot, and the wind is poisonous. he looks around in a panic for a moment.]

Annabeth? Annabeth!!

[his voice comes out raspy and hoarse, and tears track down his face as he feels the hot river Phlegethon flowing next to him. he looks at it, almost as if he's considering jumping right into it. maybe he should, because there's no way he's going to survive here a second time without her.

it'll be quicker than whatever this place will conjure up for him to die by... and if he's not actually alone, he doesn't know it.

he's in shock.]


tartarus b

[Percy's at some elevator doors now, bleeding and beaten. he's holding on to the door as Tartarus stands in front of him with a hoard of monsters at his back.]

Little demigod... back here again, without anyone to save you...

[the doors ping open, and Percy moves backwards, and the monsters and the god Tartarus cackles at him.

Percy's holding on to Riptide tight, with all the strength he has left. it's most definitely insanity, and he's probably cracked in the head in more ways than anyone can count. but there's nothing else he can do, and he's not going to die here cowering against some elevator doors that he can't use to leave.

for once, he's got nothing sarcastic to say, instead charging towards the monsters with Riptide raised.]

It was irritating enough to deal with the first time, wasn't it?

Ah, has it frequently happened to you? I don't envy you in that regard. I believe I only met one person here that I had such an encounter with and that was difficult to deal with.
sleightofhans: (that's fine)

Were they quite insulted that you didn't know them?

I once knew someone from home in this world, but she disappeared long ago.

I can't quite imagine how it'd be if she knew me and I didn't know her. She'd probably call me a liar, honestly.


[Amongst other things. Not that he'd blame Queen Elsa, really.]

It sounds like he went through a lot. I hope it's nothing as awkward as you hurting him and you just haven't done so yet, not in your view at least.

Is that so?

So he was just feeling devastated that the hero he looked up to didn't know who he was at all?

Heroic and modest.

Well, from one person that's recently returned to another, welcome back. I'm certain I'll meet you at some point, especially if I need a hero to save me.
