Mirrors are not your friend

[waterproofed]

[it's a typical day. Percy is hanging out when he catches a reflection in the mirror]

What's that? [and then he notices his own body]

What is THAT? [the girl voice does not help matters. At all]

[the loss begins. very open]

[ Colour him absolutely confused. ] That would be your face.

[waterproofed]

Oh. Uh... I thought I saw, um... A zit. [girls worry about zits, right?]

[toerags]

[ Don't ask James. He still doesn't understand them. So he gives her a shrug because he's quite useless in these situations. ] You should see my mate - his face might as well be one.

[ In an attempt to reassure her worries - because isn't that what girls usually want when they act like this? ] Your face seems fine.

[forgetting momentarily that he's supposed to be a girl, Percy laughs] A zit-face! That must be so gross! Awesome!

[Unfamiliar, distressed voice coming through the journal = must be a new arrival, right? Of course. And since the less "she" exclaims about things, the sooner Nico can get back to his nap, he answers.]

You new here or something?

[waterproofed]

[hesitates. Must not let on who he really is]

Er... yes.

[childofhades]

[That's not gonna be hard, because there's no way anyone could possible figure this out.

Nico takes a deep breath.]

You're in an evil castle and you can't leave.

[And done. Completely adequate description right there.]

[waterproofed]

Thanks for the warning.

[siebter]

What's what?

[waterproofed]

Oh, I thought I saw something.

[siebter]

Was it a bug? Did it go away?

[waterproofed]

Uh. Yeah, it's gone.
