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.]

Do you want me to be serious?

Would you believe me that it's suppose to show you what the unconscious mind wants to show you?

[Look, it's really complicated to explain!!]

[judoflipped]

what
so like
telepath tvs???

[he's a skater boy there's not many braincells here pls Ken]

[whatsamada]

More like the TV can see what you fear the most and have you confront it?

[Does...that make sense??]

[judoflipped]

oh cool i always love it when stuff like that happens

[/sarcasm]

[whatsamada]

Which is why it's really troublesome whenever we have to fight them off and there's always a lot more coming.

Because it's not just what we fear the most, it's also whatever negative energy we have too. And it can turn into a shape of a big blob sometimes.

[Why a big blob? Who knows.]

[judoflipped]

that sounds kinda like how some stuff works around here with the negative energy or whatever

weird that you'd have that in common

[whatsamada]

Which I can't tell if it's a good or a bad thing.

[judoflipped]

thats what im trying to figure out too
its not always bad here
but when its bad its BAD

[whatsamada]

You got that right.

Did you happen to deal with the nightmares too?

[judoflipped]

youre gonna have be more specific
i deal with nightmares all the time

[whatsamada]

The ones from a while back? Where they came to life and attacked here?

Sorry about dealing with nightmares though.

[judoflipped]

no just nightmare dreams
people like me have a lot of them
but yeah they were pretty annoying when they came up around here too

[whatsamada]

...Are you going to be okay?

As much as you can anyway.

[judoflipped]

yeah ill be fine dont worry
ive been through too much to not be okay

[whatsamada]

If you say so but....just let me know if you need anything. I know I can't really do much but the least I can do is help out.

[judoflipped]
