[Those who have seen it before might recognise that Percy is sitting in Annabeth's suite and using her console rather than his own] Okay, so, first things first. Sea prunes? Don't go there. And I'm saying that as the guy whose dad probably invented them.

[His fingers reach for a nearby pen and absently tap it against the desk before he scrawls something meaningless on a piece of paper nearby. People who have spoken to Percy before might not that he's more twitchy than usual, almost agitated.] Second, um. Are there any jobs going in places that are a little more Foreigner friendly? Apparent customers won't buy things from places if the person serving them calls them a jerk, even if they're being one. The managers don't seem to like it, either. Something without boring, repetitive tasks would be great, too. As it turns out, that's kind of hard to deal with when you're ADHD. [A beat. He fold the paper in half absently slides it into a nearby book.] And if any writing could be in Ancient Greek, that would be awesome. Dyslexics of the world untie, that sort of thing.

[He picks the book up and places it somewhere off-screen, seemingly unaware of what he's doing. A grin tugs at the corner of his mouth, and he laughs, a little sheepishly] Okay, so I don't do a great job at selling myself. But I promise, I'm hardworking. I'm resourceful, I don't mind manual labour, I can talk to sea creatures and horses, and I make a mean garden hose. And I really, really need something to do here, or else I'm going to lose my mind. And believe me when I say no one wants a crazy demigod on their hands. [He gives a small wave, and is about to disappear when he thinks of something]

Oh yeah! Apparently there are some people who don't know how to swim? I can totally teach you, if you want. Or...I dunno, take people on water rides around the turtle. Floating around in the ocean in a bubble is pretty neat, I'm just saying.

He's only our patron god!

[Nita does not exactly sound like someone about to fall to her knees in reverence. It's more like he didn't properly declare his citizenship at Customs and Immigration.]
littlecousin: (wtf you lookin' at‚ fish?)

[video] He *did* live as a "mortal" in Atlantis for a couple centuries in Marvel...

Dude, the last time I went home, I timed it wrong and had to sit through the rituals on one of his festival days. Either I hallucinated the whole thing, or his mortal worshipers are alive and well and staging really boring ceremonies in the Antarctic Ocean.

[One might get the feeling Nita's not devout.]
littlecousin: (what is your DAMAGE‚ heather?)

Yeah, we call him Neptune where I'm from, and he hasn't openly visited Atlantis in millennia. Any divine commands get relayed through Proteus and he pretty much only talks to the king.

[Shrug.

What, this isn't normal?]

As far as I know, the Greeks [it's clear she's using the term as synecdoche for the Hellenic gods] mostly hang out on Olympus, 'cept for Hercules. He's on the Avengers.

[And consequently spends a lot of time in New York. In his tiny, tiny manskirt.]

Wow, your guy is really different from ours.

[Herc is one of the nicest people in Marvel. Total meathead, but not a mean bone in his body.]

He gets carried away sometimes, but he's totally the rescue-kittens-from-trees type.

[Good Guy Herc.]
littlecousin: (umm...)

Ares is kind of a jerk...

[Yes, "Ares," not "Mars." Don't ask Marvel to make sense.]
