[The Libby--and it's just Libby, even if her face is clean and her hair is gently washed and flowing smooth and purely blonde--who appears in the video is relieved. Not drunk, not jittery with tension, not panicked or cornered or twisted by anger. Just relieved, smiling with an old, recently missing quirk to it, wrapped up in an oversized black jacket and smoking with a hand that shakes but only slightly.]

Hey, guys. Guess who I can't find? Um--do you want to like. Watch a stupid future movie or whatev, some time? I've got--I've got a lot of free time. So. You know. Or anything.

And, um--maybe we should all check in. Every morning and tonight. Your girls too, Jesse. I just ydon't want--well. A lot of people have been going missing. [She ruffles her hair with her free hand, but still. For the first time since she got here she can breathe.] But yeah. Anything you want.

Um. Hey.

[Nervous, but that's fine, right? Everything is fine today.]

[public | voice]

Loki's gone. I don't know who of you care, but unless he shows up and calls me an idiot on this thing--he's gone. So. Tally that up, I figure.

[A quiet, disbelieving laugh, her voice mellow and soft, and Libby falls back on her bed.]

I live in New York City. [ if she recognizes Sea World, she knows Earth, she has to. he hopes so. it's weird to have to reference things and have people stare at him like he's talking nonsense. to their credit, he does talk a ton of gibberish. you'd have to be fluent in Greek myths to understand his daily life fully. but when he talks about something as simple as say: computers or food coloring or cars, he expects people to know.

it's not Libby, it's Percy. he sucks talking to the girl half of the species and well, okay, girlfriend. he has one. that's a thing. ]

You lost me on hitting the bottle but I hear it's in. I know if I could have when I lost friends, it probably would have made it go by quicker. Still, there's nothing that says he can't be home, right? If he can raze an entire planet and take control, pretty sure he'd be the one person to find an exit and ditch the rest of us.

[The last time she met someone from New York City she told them it flooded. Possibly with Percy that's extra tactless, so no.] Sorry, New York Aquarium--I guess it's obvious they didn't, dorkotron.

[Libby feels him on people not understanding her, which is one reason she studied 21st century history early on to know what doesn't happen roughly around the 2010's. She does okay, usually. It's one social dynamic she doesn't fuck up, unlike her failure to understand gender relations entirely.]

Yeah. [Not like Nikolai or Syg. She took them in and said she'd keep her people safe and--well. She's down three. At least if she can pretend one is okay it's a little better.] Whateeev, though, this is depressing. Aloha Loki, all that. How's being old as fuck feel?

They do, I just save the ones about licking for Grover. [ er, because Satyrs? ] I swear, he eats everything.

[ he can't seem to keep up with the future or the past because finding out secondhand from people is easier; if it's important, they can fill in his blanks. he should think of it as unreliable sources but he has a knack for trusting his friends, so when it comes to kings and princes and wolves and people like Libby or super geniuses on board, he'll let them do the leg work about their times. ]

For the love of Hades, [ language. ] being old as uh, I am.. feels exactly the same as I did a few days ago when I wasn't. You're surprised, I know. You thought limbs would be falling off and I'd be complaining about back pain- actually, come to think of it.. I think I twisted something, and I've started using my sword as a cane.

Oh, buddy, that sucks! Don't worry, us whippersnappers will take care of you. Or throw you in a home. Depends if I'm in your will or not. [She grins, amused by the love of Hades--it's about time somebody wasn't swearing by Judeo-Christian mythology, all right, Libby was starting to worry that her time maybe would turn into a theocracy if it was this pervasive.]

If you get ugly, though, I'm out. For the record. And I'll take dumb pics of you and put them on the network and everyone will laugh at your wrinkly old ass. It'd be awesome. [A beat.] I change my mind. Get wrinkly as fast as possible. Go live in the pool.
