[Hey, this guy looks new. Looks like just your average sort of dude, too, except for the laurel tattoos. Oh, and his eyes are kinda bloodshot, like he hasn’t slept in a while. But his smile is gentle and friendly.]

Feeling kinda like Rip Van Winkle right now, so I'm going to just keep working past that. Name's Dionysus, and yeah, that Dionysus of that Pantheon.

[And here, he links like every form of popular social media account- Bwitter, BlueTube, Rumblr, and Instagrahm. And then he also links a few more obscure social media sites. Point is, he’s got it all.]

I’m thinking about keeping my scene a little more underground for a while. Don’t worry though. If you want in, you’ll get in.

Oh. Me, but not me. Another Dionysus?

[pocketfulof]

Probably? He--you? Were a director of a camp for demigods where I'm from...

[yol8]

Huh. Yeah, not me, but also sounds like something I'd maybe do? If I was older. But yeah, that wasn't me. Sorry?

[pocketfulof]

It's okay. This place is pretty weird so...not out of the realm of possibility I guess? Uh, since technically this is the first time we've met...I'm Will.

[yol8]

Nice to meet you, Will. Camp for demigods, huh? How's that working out for you?

[pocketfulof]

Nice to meet you, too. And not too bad? I mean it's protected so monsters don't bother us, but demigods kind of had a bad track record. Not to mention we've been through two wars and the return of a Roman emperor...

It's complicated more than anything.

[yol8]

So it's sounding less like a camp with singing songs by the fire and making smores, and more like boot camp.

[pocketfulof]

I mean...kinda? We know how to fight but that was, originally, more to be able to defend ourselves outside of camp. We still sing campfire songs and make s'mores. The war thing came later.

[yol8]

But "not too bad" a war?

[pocketfulof]

Two actually. One with Kronos...and then--well technically Romans, but mostly that was Gaea...

I think we're going up against emperors next? We fought a giant statue of Nero.

[yol8]

That's... a lot.

[pocketfulof]

Yeah...guess it is.

Makes for uh...interesting camp stories though?

[yol8]

Okay, not to sound... whatever, but you're all demigods at the camp, right? So why aren't the full gods helping? Or are they?

[pocketfulof]

They're trying this thing called "hands-off parenting."

[Oh the sarcasm is strong with this one.]

Part of the "rules".

[yol8]

Sounds like an excuse to me.

[pocketfulof]

Yeah, there are definitely a lot of demigods that would agree with you.

[yol8]

... Okay, this conversation took a real downer turn. You have social media? I'll add you. You can get an invite, and forget about all that for a little while, yeah?

[pocketfulof]

I have a Bwitter? @Medicant...An invite to what exactly?

[yol8]

Communion.

[pocketfulof]

Communion...[Because that doesn't sound sketchy as hell.]

Okay.
