Bridge Over Troubled Water
Percy!

To hear that this strangely-clad woman was just as perplexed as he was reassured Percy almost as much as it worried him. On the bright side, he wasn't going crazy, but on the downside he wasn't going crazy, which meant the unholy pathway of death before him was a real, tangible thing. That sucked. Percy was also hoping he'd only be met with ocean at the end of this venture, because that would mean he could turn around. If he'd been alone he would have been perfectly content calling it quits and sweeping this whole business under the rug, but to hear that this woman was debating crossing it, well... Was he really going to be shown up by a total stranger who he'd probably never meet again, whose opinion he should not care about in the slightest? Not on his watch. Percy stepped forward to test the ice himself. "A trap seems like a fair bet," he mused, bouncing a bit to test his weight against the surface below. "Laid down by the gods to tempt the foolhardy. Can't think of any other reasonable explanation for it." Turning back to face the woman, Jynn, he did he best to smile through wracking shivers. "I'm Perseus. Percy to my friends. Thought I'd brave the worst of winter for the hell of it, and I'm currently suffering for my hubris. You seem better kitted for this sort of nonsense if I do say so myself." He appraised the woman's cloak of sorts, and decided that he absolutely needed something like that. He didn't know how he would acquire such raiment but swore that if he made it back south alive he'd wear it even in the height of summer. Turning back towards the ice bridge, he had to confess he was deeply curious, and he'd never been one to weigh risk against adventure. What was the worst that could happen? If he froze solid, he'd make a damn dashing statue. "If you want to check it out I'll tag along. At least for as long as my legs keep moving." He took a few tentative steps forward, carefully checking the ice beneath him with every step. "If I die though, tell 'em I went down bravely, would you? Spice it up a little." "Talk" "Listen" Think |
Perseus' siblings may enter into any of his threads, regardless of tagging!
