Chatterbox: Pudding's Place
Part 2 of
Part 2 of the Percy Jackson RP. So the other thread was finished and this is going to be part 2! Admin, I'm just wondering, has there ever been a part 2 of a thread before? Or is this the first one?
This is the first one to the best of my knowledge. In the past it seems that RPs have gone on and on and then just kind of petered out. You all brought this Part 1 to just a nice ending . . . , but allowing the story to go on if the writers so desire! Let Part 2 begin!

I swear I posted this already, but here I go again... maybe they're being chased my monsters sent by Jason.
Or maybe they're being chased by Jason. And Jenifer. And Nick. And whoever else...
Oh, and something was puzzling me... on the cruise ship, were Jenifer and Nick being referred to as Mr. and Mrs. Fitzgerald??? They aren't married, are they?
(May 22, 2011 - 2:18 pm)
Oh, all right, since no one wants to fill in the blank.
--Sophia--
I tried to raise myself up. My side felt like it was on fire. Sam ignored my gasp of pain, grasped me by the shoulders and legs, and slung me over her shoulder. I cried out.
"Sshh!!" she says. "They're less that half a mile away."
"Who?" I asked warily. She carried me out of the tent. The one called Tray and a boy were pulling up the tent stakes.
"I don't know. I think Nell said something about skeleton warriors, and hellhounds. Hopefully Tray will be able to hold them off, but if she can't, we should be ready to leave fast."
"Skeleton warriors. What are they?"
"Never come after you? You'd know them if you saw them." She twisted her head to look into the forest, and her neck dug into my wound. I gasped from the pain. My gut twisted; it didn't help that I was upside down, but somehow I kept from throwing up.
"If it hurts that bad you should have some more ambrosia." She lays me gently on the ground and crouches with her back to me. "Unzip my pack. It's in the smallest pocket."
I find the ambrosia and take part of a square. It feels hot going down, but it helps the pain. "Thanks."
"You're welcome." She stands up. "Tray! How much longer?"
"Two minutes, everything should be packed up."
"I hope we have two minutes," says another girl, who's dumping dirt on the campfire.
Not even two minutes?
Sam picks me up again. It's not very comfortable on her shoulder, but I can't walk well with my wound.
Five minutes later, we're running through the forest. Tray acts as vanguard, looking back often, with her sword at the ready. I'm bounced around as Sam jogs along, but there's no time for complaining. I realize that I must be a burden to her, but there's no other way. Of course, I'm still unsure that they aren't just about to turn into hellhounds and eat me.
We pause under a huge oak. I'm passed to the boy, whose name is Blake. Sam grabs two blanket rolls and Blake's backpack, and we go on.
Eventually, we come to the shore [[I seem to remember that this is an island, correct me if I'm wrong please, and I'm sorry but we're about to leave. Oh well.]]

No they are brother and sister. i think she meant to put ms. I promise to post later.
(May 22, 2011 - 5:38 pm)
Okay, Oregano that's not what I meant. I was confused about YOUR post. But doesn't matter, just scratch mine, and I'll post now. And ZB I'm really proud of it too!
Tray-
We had to move immediately because we heard someone coming. I got up, slung my back-pack over my shoulder and we ran through the trees. Something exploded behind me and Adonia screamed. I ran faster. Something else exploded and that new girl, Sophie, screamed. I ran even faster. Something grabbed my ankle and I fell, hitting the floor hard. I heard more thumps that told me everyone else had fallen too. I turned around to see a dark shape standing over me. Nick. "Hello Tray, nice to see you again." My eyes turned a venomous black. "Nick." I spat. "Nice to see you and your hot head again too." His cocky smile turned into a frown. "I can't say I didn't expect that. But I do expect you to be a little nicer to me while your friends lives are at stake." As usual he grinned and I glared. "What do you mean?" I asked. "You know exactly what I mean." He put chains on my hands that cut into my wrists. "You're so kind to company." I spat. "Tell me about it. Too kind my sister says." I smirked. "Right."
(May 22, 2011 - 6:16 pm)
OK, now I'm confused. :P
Spammy says bouh. Don't cry, Spammy!!!
(May 23, 2011 - 7:43 am)
Yeah, I meant to say Miss Fitzgerald, but I guess that it just came out like that.
//Jenifer//
I waltzed from behind a tree and came across a handcuffed Tray and a smirking Nick. "Nick, darling, what are you doing?!" "Oh, hey Jen. How's it going? Look, we need Tray. She will have much power for us, she will help us awake Uranus. Sky, Earth, Yin, Yang, opposites must come together to make balanse. It is the only way. We need her. She will seriously help us. I need your help. You are still the only one who can awake Him, but you need help. And, she can help us." I sighed, he was sooooo stupid sometimes. But he was right. Sadly. I kicked Tray's foot and she glared at me. "Soo, you need me. That's interesting..."

I can't post yet! Oregano just did but about the Mr. and Miss Fitzgerald thing. Nick's just your half brother, right? Because then he'd have a different last name unless he's your full brother. I don't think you're married though... Can two demi-gods from the same mom/dad marry? Weird... Anyway, I'll just wait until I can post!
(May 23, 2011 - 9:48 am)
They're full brother and sister? Wow, that's unusual, right? And... I'm not sure I got that completely... only Tray was captured? Or the others too?
Spammy says voot. Soot, Boot, Moot, Hoot, Loot, Root, Fruit? Vote? Veto? Or did you mean Zoot?
(May 23, 2011 - 9:59 am)
OK, so the others were taken too. That makes more sense. Hmmmm...
Spammy senses my hesitation and says akwd. Awkward! Spammy's smart, ain't he??
(May 23, 2011 - 2:24 pm)
Oh, and what was that about the curse of Hestia being fake??
Spammy says pgin. Begin??
(May 23, 2011 - 2:26 pm)
I just figured out that Oregano didn't post an RP post. Here I go!
Sam—
I felt a cold hand wrap around my ankle and pull me down. It sent a shiver through my back. I looked back and saw a white skeleton warrior. Its bones glowed and it was covered in a blue coat. “G. Washington” was vaguely embroidered on his right upper chest. I was being held down by George Washington in skeleton form?
I tried to kick the thing away but it wouldn’t let go. It was strong for something just out of bones.
I heard a pant and a growl and turned my head. I was staring at an eight story hell hound with red eyes and razor-sharp teeth. I kept still as not to draw attention and studied our situation.
Sophia was sprawled a few inches behind me where I had dropped her. She was clutching her side. Adonia followed some feet behind her and Nell brought up the rear end. All of them were being held by some skeletons and a hell hound or two.
Blake’s feet were right next to my ear. Another skeleton held him down.
Tray was being held by Nick. They were talking in lowered voices and Tray’s eyes were blacker than I’d ever seen them.
Jen soon walked out of the trees and smiled at her brother. She exchanged a quiet word and then Tray loudly said: "So, you need me. That's interesting..."
Why did they need her? Were they trying to recruit Tray to the other side? I knew Tray wouldn’t do it but I’d seen her some so close before…
“Yes, Tray, we need you,” Nick told her in a voice that almost melted me. He sounded so beautifully normal. So perfect, not like the lunatic he was.
“Me?” Tray asked, still seeming shocked for some reason.
“Yes! WE NEED YOU! You have five minutes to choose. Yes, we let your friends go. No, they die,” Jen yelled.
Tray turned to us. I caught her eye and shook my head. “No,” I whispered. She helplessly turned back.
“Oh and by the way, I’d like you to meet someone.” Jen made a sort of caw and Jason walked out of the bushes.
He trotted up to Jen like a love sick puppy.
Then something atrocious happened. Jason kissed Jen. In the middle of her mouth. They stood there for two minutes, embraced just kissing. My stomach turned as I watched.
Tray’s color rose and her eyes went blacker than coal. She looked at me again. Her hatred was mixed a little with some small bit of hurt.
Jason had been together with her for over a year. They’d saved and risked lives with each other and now he was standing there kissing Jen. This was way too much.
Tray put up three fingers and then she made a motion as if she was stabbing.
I somehow understood the message: “Attack on three.”
I signaled the same motions to the others. I drew my knife.
One finger went up on Tray’s hand, a second, three!
I slashed at Washington and he disintegrated into dust.
The others were fighting and slashing. I lashed at the hell hound and he disintegrated like the others.
I went on to help Tray fight off the three.
Jason and Jen had finished and unsheathed their swords; Nick had out his electronized spear. I started fighting Nick. Tray took Jen and Jason.
I dodged many electric pricks. He hit me at one point. I felt a shock run through me and my arm hurt. That’s when I remembered the water.
I closed my eyes. I must’ve looked crazy standing in the middle of a battle with closed eyes.
I summoned the water. I felt my stomach do a weird backflip, a tug and then a hurricane of water circled around me in a sort of tornado shape. I told the water to attack our enemies. It hit Jen, Jason and Nick with violent blows.
“TO THE WATER!” Nell screamed. “FAST!”
I grabbed Sophia and half carried half dragged her to the water.
Nell and I managed to form an air bubble around us and we jumped into the surf.
(May 23, 2011 - 10:24 am)
YESSS!!! THANK YOU ADMINS!!!
Krrm. Pardon me.
Sophia:
Suddenly, there was a thud. It wasn't me. Then Sam screamed, and there were more thuds. The ground rushed up to meet me as I left Sam's shoulder, flying onto the hard ground.
Pain shot through my side and I felt faint. The pain was all there was, and nothing more. I couldn't hear or see. There was only pain. I didn't know what was happening. Then there was nothing. Blackness. I didn't know how long.
I could see the woman again, the one in the white fabric. She walked through the forest, into a space between trees. I could see around her the bodies of my friends, and mine, too. Some more people, standing up. A huge dog-monster. Skeletons were holding onto our ankles and wrists. I assumed that was what Sam meant by "skeleton warriors." But in the midst of all this horror, I was not scared.
Tray made hand motions. Sam did too. Suddenly, everyone but me pulled out their swords and knives and attacked the monsters. Sam was jabbed at by another boy, and suddenly she got this tornado of water around her that swirled and shot at the other ones, the ones I'd never met. It was strange. But I wasn't scared. The woman in white stood there. She wasn't seen by anyone. She didn't do anything, just stood there.
Sam grabbed me and pulled me to the shore and jumped into the water. Everyone else jumped in, too. We were gone a long time, and I wondered if we would die. I wondered if I was already dead. The woman in white walked to the surf and looked in. Suddenly, we surfaced a good ways out. The water around us flattened as if it was hard, and everyone sat on it like it was a raft. I just lay there, completely passed out. The woman in white looked concerned. She turned to the woods and clapped her hands together twice.
An owl flew from a branch to her wrist. She stroked its head and back, and spoke to it. It flew across the water to the raft of water and perched on my limp shoulder, while my friends watched in awe. It pecked gently at my hair, fanned me with its wings. My pale face regained some color. I stirred. The owl flew away, back to the woman in white. She took it on her wrist again and walked off through the trees. And then I was jolted back to reality, back to the raft, where my friends were all looking at me.
I promise I will continue this but I can't now... or someone else can. So now she's determined!!
(May 23, 2011 - 3:55 pm)
I snarled and scythed Sam's legs from under her. She winced and fell hard onto the ground. I whirled around and blocked Nell's swipe with my spear hilt. Then I screamed and transformed. My arms and legs elongated, growing claws. Wings burst out of my back, which was now hefty and covered in fur. I threw back my shaggy head and roared. My transformation complete, I stood before the others, now a huge lion with wings wreathed in flame. Various heads sprouted from my neck, writhing and changing. A fiery eagle, a flaming bull, a roaring, boar, a sparking, hissing snake. S
Sorry I can't write more. I need to go to guitar lessons.
(May 23, 2011 - 5:34 pm)
Sorry I didn't notice the other posts.
"Oh please, bro. They're gone." I swung my furry head around.Jjen was right. I transformed back into my normal form and grimaced.
"No matter," I said. With a flash, we reappeared in the Underworld. Where I had appeared before, a huge fortress now stood, with monsters, demigods and the Spartan warriors I had summoned guarding its walls. A man in armor jogged up to me. "Sir," he said, "the prisoner awaits." I nodded and strode inside.
(May 23, 2011 - 7:20 pm)
Said I'd continue so here goes.
-Sophia...
I sit up suddenly and my head spins, and a sharp pain shoots through my side, but it's not as bad as before. Everyone is staring at me, so I stare back. Sam's got a wicked cut on each leg that looks like it goes to the bone, but she's dangling her legs in the water and I can just about see them closing up.
"What happened?" I say hoarsely, breaking off into coughing so hard my side hurts again.
"Athena," mutters the other girl - Nell. "I should've known. Typical blonde hair and gray eyes. Looks just like her mom and I never noticed."
"Who?" I gasped between coughs.
"That owl..."
"Who's Athena?" The name sounds familiar. Oh, I don't know! I can't think.
"The ancient Greek goddess of wisdom."
"She's my mom? You've got to be kidding me."
Tray looks at me, eye to eye. "Sophia... you're not crazy. If you are, we are too. The Greek gods and goddesses always have been alive... often they mate with mortals... and their children are like us. Have you learned about the Greek gods and goddesses yet?"
"What do you mean? Like, the old myths?"
"Yeah.... only they aren't myths."
"Prove it."
"OK... so for example, Sam and Nell here are the daughters of Poseidon. They can control water. Sam? Nell? A little demonstration, maybe?"
The two look rearlly tired, but both shut their eyes and an arch of water, nine feet high, forms in front of my eyes. Α ridge of water rises underneath it and becomes a circle of water balanced on top of it. A huge fish leaps out of the water and goes through the circle. Then the water collapses slowly back into the sea.
"Okay," I say. "You've got me convinced. So my mom is... Athena? Is she the woman in white I've dreamed about a few times?"
They exchanged glances. Nell says, "You've dreamed about a woman in white?"
"Just now, and before, a few years ago. Both times when I had a badly infected wound. I dreamed about her and she sent an owl to me, and then the wound got better."
"Wow," says Tray. "I wish my dad could save me from death like that." She says it with deep and bitter sarcasm.
"Why? Who's your dad?"
"Hades. You do not want a demonstration of my powers."
"What about your dad?" I ask the boy.
"Apollo. Music. Archery. The sun."
"Wow," I say. "So... now that we've cleared up some formalities, where to?"
"There," says Nell, pointing.
Another island.
[[Oh, and I was reading the older posts again... I forgot they were in the Bahamas. So just please ignore my references to oak trees etc.:)]]
