LUKE CASTELLAN

Probably kind of a jackass, but what can you do?

[chiseler]

...suddenly a little curious where this conversation's going but yeah, I've heard of them. what about them?

[notyourutopian]

I've seen these machines in them.
And I know how to build them.
They're like...little helicopter drones.

But with technology out of the fifties?
But they work.
Or I think they work.

I haven't built one yet

[aegist]

tall. pretty. poofy blonde hair like an old-school 80s do.

[chiseler]

kay all the more reason this stranger can't be your mom. I thought your mom had dark hair like you and jason? also we're not in the 80s but that's besides the point

did she say anything else to you?

[aegist]

no that was pretty much the extent of the thing. that brief argument and then nothing.

and mom does have dark hair like us. for what that's worth.

[chiseler]

at least this sort of leads to some of these things maybe not being real. why would they give us false people if they want us to believe they're memories or whatever?

[aegist]

come on, luke. if they were real, we already know some basic facts were apparently different. i'm not saying they are real, but i am saying i want to know more if it's going to keep happening.

[chiseler]

well maybe I don't. I haven't decided yet.
...look it doesn't matter, all right? whatever you remembered or whatever doesn't matter because Jason's here and he's perfectly fine. whatever you thought of was probably just to mess with your head

[aegist]

i could say the same to you. but yeah.

if you don't want to know more will you let me know? i'm pretty sure if we keep talking about these things we're going to remember more one way or the other.

[chiseler]

so like twilight zone kind of crazy. but you'd think the two realities meeting or whatever would make the whole thing clash or erase one to become the true superior reality
it's. weird. I'm debating if I'm grateful for it or not but I'm leaning toward not because that makes it more likely to have some validity to it
you saw someone in one of yours like...someone here? what else would it have been?

[chiseler]

...to be honest I've been remembering a lot even without talking to you and I don't know what any of it means.

I don't want to talk about this right now. we'll be at the pageant though, I promise. and I'll keep an eye on the kids while we're looking for retrospec reps

[aegist]

i figured you were locking me out of the loop at least a bit.

just let me know when you decide if we're in whatever this is together or not. i'll see you at the pageant, dumbass.

[chiseler]

don't say it like that. of course we're in this together.

whatever. see you then

[chiseler]

[...oh.]

A magic sword. [Kashuu are you sure about this?] What exactly does that mean? How can you tell?

[chiseler]

Helicopter drones from the 1950s.
How hard would it be to build one, do you think?

[Look at that, he's not even discounting that she could.]

[chiseler]

I might. I've been thinking about it anyway after watching you guys. After the play's over I'm done with stage combat for the time being but it doesn't hurt to know what works and what doesn't for next time. Interested in learning a little more?

[catsudon]

look if we're dealing with realities devouring each other we're screwed until someone helpfully remembers "oh wait i can fix realities tearing themselves apart that's kind of useful"
uh
a dream?
like we're getting these hallucinomemories it kind of makes sense if you know
they start crossing over with just... weird dreams

[sharplydressed]

Don't look at me like that.

[He knows HE KNOWS!! Just let him live his wacky life with magic swords...]

Anyway, I can tell 'cause it's like some weird voodoo doll sword or something. Like, if people touch it? I can totally feel it, too.

[catsudon]

( his asshole senses are tingling

as in "people are assholes" senses, okay

but Yuri is nothing if not curious, so while he squints at Luke. )

Depends on what you mean by learning a little more.

[notyourutopian]

Hm.
I'd need someone with a metal shop. To help me fab the parts.
But if I had them all...

I could build it in a few hours, I think.

[wiselys]

[ this is the main reason she wanted to show him in person. considering that luke casually omitted that he gave her a knife in that memory, annabeth is going to make sure he can't bullshit her about any of this. just in case he wants to, whatever the reason. ]

I thought it might be. [ otherwise her hallucinatory self has too many knives?? but also. real sure is a question. relativity in general is a question. what is real anymore. ] Well, I wouldn't use it for cooking.

[chiseler]

[He's taking a look at the knife for a while before he's reaching forward to pick it up.]

It was never meant for cooking. I don't know why, but I remember I gave this to you to defend yourself. Must've had a different weapon or something but...you were a kid. Mom wouldn't even let you into the kitchen until you were about ten, so why a knife? [He shakes his head again.] But it feels right, doesn't it?

[chiseler]

don't even joke about that yet
the only reason I'm not sold on these things being weird dreams is that I remember way too much detail about them. do you usually remember your dreams that much?

[chiseler]

There's no such thing as voodoo, Kashuu. Are you sure it's not just a coincidence? [Even as he says it though he doesn't sound like he believes it's coincidence either...] Explain this to me. So if somebody picks up the sword you feel like you're being lifted in the air or what?

[chiseler]

[kc why did you make me read that sentence, stop this. Luke's expression doesn't change and he simply smiles a little.]

Something to give you a bit of an edge. I've met a lot of dancers--[No he hasn't]--and not a lot of them really know how to move with props and make it look as seamless as you seem to think it should be.
