[Luke closes a green leather bound book before he brings his full attention to the screen. His hair is a little disheveled and the slight grin on his face looks a little sinister. Though that could be the effect of the lighting and the scar on the right side of his face.]

So I've gotten my hands on five swords. Four are celestial bronze which means they won't harm humans. Perfect for training. So if anyone is interested in learning how to sword fight just contact me. Either here or send me a private message.

And for those of you who already know how to sword fight, anyone up for some practice? I'm a little rusty and I could use a challenge. This is open to anyone and everyone.

For those of you who don't know me I'm Luke Castellan. Son of Hermes and head former counselor of cabin twelve at Camp Half-Blood. [What was the use in not introducing himself? They were all stuck on board. Besides he needs his own crew. Not just Percy's gang of misfits.]

Can't wait to hear from the those of you who are interested.

[ Sword fighting.

So, here's the thing. Jeremy likes to be prepared. And he's pretty much done with being the little brother. He's chopped off a hybrid's head. He's used a crossbow. He's.. tried in vain to help against Katherine.

Yes. Yes. He is interested. If this ship is as dangerous as people say, then he needs to be equipped and skilled. And maybe Elena got Alaric's vampire hunting lessons back in Mystic Falls but he's going to get himself sword fighting lessons. ]


I'm interested.

I'm stuck on a spaceship. It's pretty light. [ Duh. ]

Are you serious? [ Unfortunately, that's... not as much of a rhetorical question as it should be. ]

Uh, sounds cool-- sword fighting. I don't know anything about it, but sounds cool, I'm in.
extrospector: (off-guard)

[personal profile] extrospector 2013-01-13 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
I. Can... take it seriously. [ It's said a little haltingly as he studies the video feed, trying to determine (1) if that's also a sincere statement (conclusion: yes) and (2) how he's supposed to relate to Luke (conclusion: on the same level as lab techs back home; after all, Luke's just offered to teach him something, which is kind of similar). ]

I'm Greg. Can we just meet in person? These, uh-- comms?-- kind of suck.
extrospector: (listening)

[personal profile] extrospector 2013-01-14 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, phones, text, whatever, I'd rather talk to people in person. Even video's just not the same.

So where do you want to meet? And when?

Son of Hermes.

[personal profile] theshabbiestofmen 2013-01-13 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
And that's literal, is it? I mean, my name is Remus, but my mother isn't, insofar as I know, a wolf.
theshabbiestofmen: (Talk ☾Hm?)

[personal profile] theshabbiestofmen 2013-01-14 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm.

[He still looks skeptical for a moment-- but then shrugs.]

Sorry. I don't know why I'm doubting this of all things; it's not as if I haven't already seen some impossible things on here. Why not a demigod?

In any case: good to meet you. It's Remus, Remus Lupin.

[ excuse the lurch his stomach gives, ready to kick up into his throat and through broken teeth but so i've gotten my hands on five swords. four are celestial bronze which means they won't harm humans. five and he names four. the last time they talked about this, Luke only had Annabeth's dagger. he's trying not to jump to conclusions here but he doesn't like the sound of it. ]

What's the fifth?
ripstides: (cringe ❖ guilty hearts are heavy.)

( private )

[personal profile] ripstides 2013-01-14 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you going to teach with it? [ because no, Luke. no, he can't trust you while you have a sword like that in your possession. he might have thought he wanted one, he might think that it's nice in theory, to be able to protect himself and Annabeth with a sword that didn't have any limitations. but he still has to believe that there is a reason why demigods - greek or roman - use weapons that go through mortals like air.

not asking for it and still making plans around it, it doesn't matter.

ripstides: (criminal ❖ can't believe this.)

[personal profile] ripstides 2013-01-17 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
I can only hope you're going to make the right choices with it this time. [ and that's what it is. that's what it comes down to. he doesn't say it, doesn't have to but he feels in every one of his bones if it comes down to it and the wrong choices are made, they're going to clash again. ]

Maybe you'll finally find someone who can kick your butt.

[ There's a hint of a smile playing at her expression at the comment, before it falls when she moves on to what she really wanted to talk about. What she's sure Percy isn't happy about, and what she's not sure what she's feeling. ]

You got Backbiter, didn't you?
oikodomae: (try that again)

[personal profile] oikodomae 2013-01-15 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
Never know, it's a big ship.

[ she knows who he's talking about, and he's right to think that. Last Annabeth spoke to Thalia...well. She didn't seem as eager to forgive and forget. ]

I never said you did, Luke. But you have it. So now you have to figure out what you want to do with it.
oikodomae: (tell me again º Ⓠ)

[personal profile] oikodomae 2013-01-17 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a moment there where she thinks about saying a few different things - the bad memories, choices, associations with that sword - but she rules them out after a while. Luke has just as much of a right to protect himself as anyone else.

Better off just changing the topic.]


Are you going to be able to teach with those? Won't the mist screw them up for the mortals?
