“If you can get your parent’s attention by doing something impressive, they might claim you. That normally happens back at camp Halfblood, though. It’s where demigods tend to live once they need to go some place safe. We can’t take you there right now, unfortunately. We’re on a quest and currently traveling away from it.”

Jenny paused. Perhaps she was giving away too much information to a stranger. She should probably steer the subject away from the quest.

”I’ll have to find a dead bug so I can show you some necromancy.”

She nodded slowly. "Something impressive..." She mumbled. "I have a can of dead crickets." She said. "You never know when you need to bribe the local crows."

Jenny’s eyes lit up. A whole can of dead crickets! She could make an orchestra- no, a symphony!

”Can I have some?”

The cyclops roared loudly, jolting her attention back to it. It probably wasn’t a good idea to get distracted with necromancy right then.

”Well, maybe once this monster is dealt with.”

[Random Bystander she/her]

She ate one of the crickets, then put the can back into her backpack. "That's probably a good idea."

An interesting choice of snack. Jenny had tried eating crickets before, but it wasn’t worth expending the energy to catch them. Plus, she felt kinda bad about it. They were pretty cute.

She leaned on Gift again as her side began to ache more. She was quite peeved by her inability to fight, and shifted her weight from foot to foot anxiously. Jenny hated being unable to help, especially in battle- it was supposed to be her main role on this quest.

Elsie looked at Jenny. "Um. Do you need ibuprofen? Or Tylenol? Or Advil?" She asked. "I raided my mee-maw's kitchen before leaving, so I have all three."

“I’m alright, thank you.”

Elsie was a very considerate person. Hopefully she would want to be Jenny’s friend.

”Are you injured?”

She didn’t look like she was, but it could be hard to tell sometimes.

“Can I…borrow Gift for a second?”

“Can I…borrow Gift for a second?”

“Oh, sorry!”

Jenny handed over Gift, feeling incredibly selfish for continuing to use it as a walking stick when Ed clearly needed it. She then proceeded to carefully sit down, feeling like a hypocrite after telling Elsie not to do that. It was either that or risking collapse, however. She tried to sit in a way that would allow her to quickly spring upwards if needed.

Elsie frowned. "You don't look like you are doing okay." She observed. "Why don't you go to the hospital?" She paused as a thought occured to her. "Wait, are you a runaway?"

“You’re fine, thanks.” He gave her a quick kiss, then, blushing, he ran towards the cyclops, Gift becoming a sword.

Who’s controlling the cyclops?

...That would most likely be me? Maybe? If anyone wants to take control, feel free.

The cyclops swung at him.

“I’m not really a runaway, and we don’t have time to go to a hospital. We urgently need to get somewhere, and I’d probably just get ambushed by monsters at a hospital. We have ways of accelerating healing, anyways. I was doing far worse two days ago.”

"Oh. Okay." She said, seemingly content with the answer. She watched the guy leave. "Are you dating him?" She asked.

Edgar rolled, moving more adeptly than he normally would do to the very intense battle training he’d received in the last few days. He should be able to take this cyclops on…right? He slashed at its thighs.

It's probably a fairly small cyclops, and it's already been hit a few times, so you probably should be fine.

The cyclops did not seem happy with him not being dead, and swung again

He ducked, feeling the blow whistle above his head. He felt his sword grow longer and he plunged it into the cyclops’s stomach.

It was good Elsie didn’t feel the need to ask for more information about the quest yet. Jenny needed to confirm her intentions before sharing more.

“Yep! He’s really great. His name’s Ed.”

She continued to smile a bit distractedly.

She grinned "That's good. You're nice. You deserve a nice boyfriend... HOLY CRAP-" she said, startled as the cyclops poofed. "Where'd it go?!?! Do they teleport?"

Jenny whooped as Ed slayed the monster. That was some of the best fighting she’d ever seen from him. She was immensely proud.

”Great job, Ed!”

She beamed when Elsie complimented her. She thought that Jenny was nice!

”When monsters die, they turn into dust and go to Tartarus, in the underworld. They’ll eventually reform, but this guy should be gone for a while.”

Edgar walked back towards Jenny and the new person, trying not to show his excitement. He’d killed a cyclops! He was getting less useless! He handed Gift back to Jenny. “Thank you!”

Elsie nodded. "Ok." She said weakly. She sat down. "This is hands down the weirdest day of my entire life." She whispered.

Jenny used Gift to help herself stand up and gave Ed a hug. She whispered to him.

“You did amazing.”

She then immediately sat back down next to Elsie.

“You’ll get used to it. This isn’t even the weirdest thing we’ve seen on this trip so far- we had to fight Medusa, too!”

Jenny realized that probably wasn’t very comforting.

”Things like Medusa aren’t super common, though. And we were able to defeat her without anyone dying, so you should be safe with us now. If you want to stay with us.”
