[bornofwisdom]

( finding herself within an ornate ballroom, she raises her brow and looks around, heaving a sigh )

Great. Where is this?

I don’t recognize any of the structures around here from any books I’ve read or Daedalus’ research, even…
( she passes another soft sigh ) Okay, talk it out, Annabeth…

Not Greek in make, so definitely not randomly somewhere in Olympus. And, it’s not Western American make either, or Eastern American for that matter… It’s just not American whatsoever. I didn’t… Fall through a crack into the Underworld, or…?

Dangit. Mom—!? Is this some sort of sudden quest—!?

Ugh,Gods! How do you go from showing plans to Zeus for a new throne room and end up — wherever the heck this is!? All I wanted to do today was get my plans together for the council room and…

Son of a gun… Actually!
Maybe I have some drachmas… If I can find some water to contact the Gods, or Percy, or…

[Well, no god, but you do get +1 man in shiny armour, whos curiosity was piqued by your ramblings.]

Only one Goddess walks this way, I'm afraid.

[bornofwisdom]

Goddess? ( well that might be helpful ) Which one...?

/brace for impact

[lamb_of_gold]

The goddess Athena, though I think she may be in her home reality at the moment.

[bornofwisdom]

( Athena? here? she raises her brows and stupidly forgets her place )

Mom? Mom is here?

[lamb_of_gold]

[......]


...I beg your pardon?

Meanwhile, in an alternative dejavú...

[sosweet]

[ Did someone mention Greek Gods, Olympus and the Underworld? ]

I'm afraid you are quite afar from those places.

[ Have another man in shiny, gold armour. ]

lmfao yes. :|

[bornofwisdom]

( who, her? nooo, not at all )

Starting to think that, yeah.

( what's with the knights? is she in a castle... )

xP

[sosweet]

[ B| ] [ Handsome knights with fa~bulous hair! ]

You mentioned the Gods. Are you related to them?

[bornofwisdom]

( well they are pretty handsome... )

I... Yeah, kind of.

[sosweet]

You won‘t find Zeus nor any other God except for my lady, Athena.

[grip_on_reality]

Talk to a lot of gods, do you? [Menzies steps in from the next room, looking curiously at the new arrival] This is the Astral Plane, by the way. If you're wanting to go back to where you came from, you can do that most any time.

[bornofwisdom]

Most of the time, actually.

And where is this Astral Plane located?

[grip_on_reality]

Yeah? [she raises an eyebrow] Are you...?

[she shrugs] Search me. Probably somewhere between dimensions, since it brings in people from all sorts of 'em. Ah, has anybody showed you the brochures yet?

[bornofwisdom]

A goddess? No. ( she shrugs gently, she'd already sort of spilled the beans about her 'origins' — no need to hide it ) I'm a demigoddess, actually.

Um. ( between dimensions. really? ) Actually no. But I would take one.

[grip_on_reality]

[she smirks a little, amused at how natural Annabeth makes that sound] Oh, I see.

[she nods] Follow me. [she gestures toward the exit before starting that way] I'm Detective Inspector Patricia Menzies. Human. How 'bout you?

[tricksterofthelord]

[Hey there, a 'god' is incoming, or someone very close to it, if you ask Gabriel, hah. He raises an eyebrow at her speech, then smirks amused.]

Part of the Olympus Gang, sweetheart? Lovely bunch, always know how t' throw a good party, if ya get what 'm sayin'. Though, I can't quite remember you...

[bornofwisdom]

( the olympus gang? she gives a bit of a laugh )

I guess in a sense, but, not really the way you might be thinking.

( she's not a god by any means, not even a minor one. but even demigoddesses are higher up on the 'scale' than mortals after all )

[tricksterofthelord]

[Frowns a little, though his smug smile stays in place. He can sense that she is no ordinary human, but far not as powerful as a god.]

What do you mean? Oh, I know, you must be one of Zeus' little birdies, aren't you? My, look at you, has he finally found his good taste?

[Because the Zeus he knows is very... 'nice' to humans. 8D]

[bornofwisdom]

Birdies? ( her lips press to a thin line and her brow furrows ) I'm Zeus' granddaughter.

( well. if she had to be literal about it, anyway. )

[tricksterofthelord]

Hmm? [Gabriel steps closer, to look a more proper look at her.] Oh, I see, you're not exactly coming from my part of the reality mess, eh. Well then, nice to meet ya', I'm Loki. Or the Trickster. Or Handsome. These are the most common names they call me. [Eyebrow wriggle.]

Want to set this after her talk with mu?

[artofwar]

[The Goddess Athena, or Sasha as she prefers by close friends who remember when she lived as a human steps onto the plane with her staff gripped tightly in one hand. She breathes in the air and pauses at the sight of a newcomer.] It's some time since anyone new has traversed the Plane.

sure! and i am ridiculously sorry this took forever. i hate hiatuses 8(

[bornofwisdom]

( Annabeth has remained on the Plane despite thinking about going back to her 'reality.' she would have felt at home there but for some reason, returning is weighing heavy on her mind. will Percy be there? what about Grover?

could she get to see her mother there?

sighing soft, she raises her head at the sound of someone's voice. turning to look over her shoulder, the demigoddess raises her brows )

Is ... that true?

( her eyes lingered on the staff in the girl's hand. there was something about it ... )

It's not a problem, welcome back!

[artofwar]

Yes, It's true. But I was told that's how it is from time to time. [People come and go, Mu had said. It makes sense to her, that's how life is in general.] If no one's answered your questions, I can tell you what I know.

thank you!

[bornofwisdom]

I guess that's just how it is. ( and yet she still feels depressed

shrugging her shoulders gently, but, offering her a smile )

I've talked to some people, even been given one of these ( she lifts the pamphlet Menzies helped her locate ) — but, it doesn't make this any easier to deal with.

Sorry for the wait, I had to move apartments.

[artofwar]

Yes, it is. Sometimes there's a group of newcomers. Other times very few trickle in at a time. [She studies the pamphlet, remembering which one it was.]

Dealing with it, takes some time. All we can do for now is look into where we are and see what we can do about our situation. The important thing to remember is even if we're strangers to one another, we're not alone.
