PJO PICK ME BOY

Carter: *sees you and immediately perks up* Oh my GODS! You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen! I bet you're a daughter of Aphrodite, right?

no.

Carter: Oh, so you're a daughter of Athena? You seem too pretty to be a daughter of Ares. *grins, waiting for you to tell him your parentage*

*Ares's booming laugh cuts off, his eyes blazing with amusement at Carter's pathetic display.* Ares: So this is the hero? Pathetic. *His gaze shifts to you, his cruel smirk widening.* Did you know you inspired such stupidity, girl?

*voice completely level and calm* Lord Ares, please don't laugh at him. Carter didn't mean to doom the camp. He was just so blinded by his obsession with me that he forgot how to use his brain entirely. It's actually tragic if you think about it.

*Carter finally exhales* I think I peed myself.

*everyone remains kneeling* Apollo: "She never stays." Hermes: "Classic Hecate kid. Always vanishing act." *grins wider* At least she didn't shadow travel like Nico. *Nico glares* Apollo: "Will." *golden eyes soften* I'm proud of you. *Will tears up* Th-thank you, father. *Hecate's voice carries authority* Carter. *shadows coil around him* Your actions against my daughter... *Hermes interrupts* Yeah yeah, conduct unbecoming of a Hermes kid. *rolls eyes* Typical. *turns to Chiron* Lock him up, centaur. Before my brother gets here. *glances at sky* Zeus is gonna be pissed.

*Carter trembles*

*Hecate's icy glare matches Tsurara's perfectly, shadows writhing around her* Hecate: "She bore your harassment with grace. You chose violence." *voice drops colder* Mistress of Magic: "You will face consequences." *Apollo's light dims* Apollo: "Carter, you chose darkness." *Hermes whistles* Hermes: "Zeus is gonna fry him. Literally."

Carter: "Alera, my love. You know that I love you. Don't you? Why do you keep ignoring me? It's not fair. I deserve your attention. I'm so much better than these boys. I'm so much better than Percy. I can give you everything that you could ever want. I'm so much better than Will. I can give you the world. I'm so much better than Jason. I can give you the stars. I'm so much better than Frank. I can give you the moon. I'm so much better than Leo. I can give you the sun. I'm so much better than Nico. I can give you the entire universe. I'm so much better than everyone. I'm so much better than you. I'm so much better than anyone. I'm so much better than everything. I'm so much better than anything. I'm so much better than anyone could ever be. I'm so much better than anyone could ever imagine. I'm so much better than anyone could ever dream of. I'm so much better than anyone could ever wish for. I'm so much better than anyone could ever hope for. I'm so much better than anyone could ever want. I'm so much better than anyone could ever need. I'm so much better than anyone could ever desire. I'm so much better than anyone

*Apollo steps forward* Hi.
