That's epic, because I mean you can't always see the towering monolith that is Olympus.

SPEAKER_01 0:56

Yeah, because they usually we're always like going into the Empire State Building, going up the elevator to like to whatever it's floor, and then but I don't like see it on the approach is pretty cool.

SPEAKER_08 1:10

Yeah, total. Because you know what, when you we we think about it, uh, this is the first time we've ever approached Olympus from Pegasat.

SPEAKER_01 1:18

Exactly. So me who or I think any airborne Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:24

I know in the first one, in Lightning Thief, they do fly back from WikiWiki Santa Monica, right?

SPEAKER_01 1:34

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_08 1:35

Because he fights Aries, it all works out, and then they fly back, but it's not like you can actually Did they fly into Olympus? No, they definitely didn't fly into Olympus now.

SPEAKER_01 1:44

No way. They like flew into New York and then took the elevator and this is the first time we're approaching Olympus, like from any kind of airborne capacity.

SPEAKER_08 1:54

Because you think we're gonna now fly all the way to the Olympics, it's like because I mean we arm Pegasus, baby.

SPEAKER_01 2:01

Yeah, they're demi bloods.

SPEAKER_08 2:09

We have every right to be here.

SPEAKER_01 2:11

Hey, this is like you again, you always showing up.

SPEAKER_01 2:27

Hello, Percy.

SPEAKER_08 2:31

Listen, hey buddy, uh yeah, exactly. Because the whole council, I wonder if it is gonna give us some breakdowns of gods we haven't met yet. Yeah, gods. It's always fun to meet new gods. Love to meet new gods, yeah, see some of our classic favorites.

SPEAKER_01 2:51

I feel like we've gotten to know Artemis a lot in this book, of course.

SPEAKER_08 2:54

This has really been kind of her little A2. Yeah, and we did get a little Apollo tickle. Yeah, got some Apollo and some Artemis.

SPEAKER_01 3:03

Yeah, exactly. Which is cool. It's been nice, always.

SPEAKER_08 3:05

It's nice. Some references of uh Buddy Aries, but not really. Yeah, seeing him actually in the flesh. And then of course, this chapter Oh wait, no, we did. We met um Wiki Wiki, Aphrodite, too. Yes and Aries also. Yes. There was that little white limousine scene.

SPEAKER_01 3:27

So this was the first time we met Aphrodite, though, right?

SPEAKER_08 3:29

Yeah, yeah, exactly. Actually seeing her in the flesh.

SPEAKER_01 3:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 3:34

Goodness gracious.

SPEAKER_01 3:35

Yeah, we'll have to do in the final debrief like what new gods we've met, and maybe what our full tally is so far of like gods that we have met.

SPEAKER_08 3:46

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 3:46

We have like personally, not just heard about, but like.

SPEAKER_08 3:50

Yes, exactly. On our quest, I actually got to boogie alongside. Yeah, and because there's like certain levels like ones that we've actually met, ones that have been referenced.

SPEAKER_01 4:03

Yeah. Like like Hades has been referenced, but have we met? Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 4:12

In yeah, in the first yeah, for sure. We're all the way there. We're in his palace.

SPEAKER_01 4:16

Yeah, we've met the whole Trinity.

SPEAKER_08 4:18

I was thinking about Hefesis.

SPEAKER_01 4:20

Hefesis? Yeah, we've heard much of Hefesis.

SPEAKER_08 4:23

Yes, we've seen we've been to his. Yeah, we haven't seen him quite yet.

SPEAKER_00 4:27

Unlike Disney show. Yeah, exactly. Meeting Hephisis. How dare you, Hefesis?

SPEAKER_03 4:35

Lightning thief? Yeah. Kunda Quink. Prejack anyone. They jumped a gun. They jumped a gun. But you know, we'll see. Creative lights.

SPEAKER_01 4:48

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_08 4:50

Who are we but just commentators on a beautiful expression?

SPEAKER_01 4:54

Anyways, back to this chapter.

SPEAKER_08 4:58

Oh my, oh my gosh. So way. So hey. Dude. The sauce. That wasn't thanks. That really touched my heart, dude. Dude, that wasn't thanks. Uh-huh. You kept it together for the readings.

SPEAKER_01 5:10

Thank you, man. It was when I realized it was happening, I was like, what's happening? Oh my gosh. I'm reading it happening. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:19

Uh it wasn't things.

SPEAKER_08 5:26

And that whole. Yeah, I mean, we'll get into it, but just like everything of her her death and her honor. Yeah, her honor in the star. Her memorial. So beautiful.

SPEAKER_03 5:37

Dude, it was beautiful.

SPEAKER_01 5:39

Yeah. That was that was nice, especially after, like, you know, we still haven't had a proper goodbye for Bianca. This is the two. So it is really nice when we can have a good goodbye, like, right after. Uh like we hate to see any blood. Demi, immortal, fool, immort, whatever it is.

SPEAKER_08 6:05

Immort. Anything but that golden dust. We love to see the golden dust of a monster.

SPEAKER_01 6:10

Yeah, the golden dust of a monster dissipating.

SPEAKER_08 6:12

Going back to Tartarus. Vaporize my soul.

SPEAKER_01 6:16

Yeah. Send your soul back to my fucking Tartarus.

SPEAKER_08 6:22

Ah. But no, like you said, it did feel like a proper good back.

SPEAKER_05 6:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 6:26

Like in a real good memoir. And it really tells. I remember uh it kind of makes me think of like when I read, I remember the first time I read this, and whenever I read like really juicy moments in literature, I'll run it back.

SPEAKER_01 6:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 6:41

Two or three times. It's just a paragraph or a page.

SPEAKER_01 6:44

Exactly.

SPEAKER_08 6:45

It's just like, oh, let it steep. Yeah. So we you really took your time, dude. What a beautiful. Uh it touched my heart.

SPEAKER_01 6:53

Thank you. It touched mine. Even after I finished reading it, I was a little bit like, wow.

SPEAKER_08 6:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 7:02

All of a sudden blackjack showed up and it kind of like snapped at least my, but I was still, I felt this like somber. I was like, come on.

SPEAKER_09 7:10

Get up for blackjack.

SPEAKER_00 7:20

Um all right, so let's get into it. So friend says goodbye. Uh so we're gonna go.

SPEAKER_08 7:27

So it looks like yeah, we pretty much land because we finished with Artemis' sleigh. We're taking off an Artemis' sleigh.

SPEAKER_01 7:33

Yes. We've split off from Doctor or split off from Dr. Chase. Oh no, Dr. Chase is following us.

SPEAKER_08 7:40

Following us in tandem, that sick little scene.

SPEAKER_01 7:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 7:44

So I'm not exactly sure where Chrissyfield is.

SPEAKER_01 7:47

Yeah, Chrissyfield.

SPEAKER_08 7:48

But we're after nightfall.

SPEAKER_01 7:50

But yeah, it must be, or oh no, because then they do journey continuously to Olympus.

SPEAKER_08 7:56

So, anyways, Chrissyfield somewhere. Yeah, and then Annabeth is just so excited. Yes. What a beautiful kind of just like because all we've heard is snaps and whaps. Right.

SPEAKER_01 8:06

I think it's the first time that we're seeing Abeth and Doctor Shays together.

SPEAKER_08 8:12

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_01 8:13

Yeah, it's adorable.

SPEAKER_08 8:14

My gods. Yeah, most amazing thing she's ever seen. That's beautiful.

SPEAKER_01 8:19

Oh yeah, how did he get those celestial bullets? Oh, so she just had weapons, classic ABS. And he just uh smelled last time we left.

SPEAKER_08 8:33

And that little comment, yeah, that he's he's playing it soft. Yeah, because it comments later how like it seems like he's a changed man a little bit. So he's turning up.

SPEAKER_01 8:43

So it kind of seems like maybe it's kind of on Abet's side, a little bit like, you know, girl, you kind of gotta let it go and you know, give him a chance, he's kind of a good guy, which we're gonna see later in the conversation.

SPEAKER_08 8:54

Yeah, exactly, exactly. But but that little experiment though, and that is cool how he kinda he sloughs it off as Indil Dindle, but it comments that like the goddess of crafts and wisdom chose him for a reason.

SPEAKER_01 9:08

Exactly, yeah. She was like, ooh, the way you craft my man turns me on. Oh, yeah, nothing like a crafty, crafty like a math scientist.

SPEAKER_03 9:18

That's kind of cool.

SPEAKER_01 9:20

Have a baby lie that you know gets hot when you get crafty. Oh, yeah, exactly. That's cool. Little uh, what is it, ghost anyone?

SPEAKER_08 9:32

Oh yeah, that scene ghost with the ceramics. Yeah, the ceramics. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 9:40

Like a ghost scenario. Oh, ghost scenario.

SPEAKER_08 9:45

Yeah, but to craft together. I mean to create together, whatever it may be. It's uh it is a beautiful thing to share. It's very romantic.

SPEAKER_01 9:54

So yeah, it definitely makes sense why Athena would be attracted to him.

SPEAKER_08 9:59

Yeah, then all of a sudden, freaking Zindle Dindle, we got Tali interrupting because then all of a sudden we're pulled into this. Zoe. Yeah, Zoe's getting bound right now.

SPEAKER_01 10:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 10:13

Sounds like. Yeah, exactly. Looks like we don't have any ambrosia one nectar.

SPEAKER_01 10:17

How do we not have ambrosia nectar on deck? No one's keeping a flask, Candy. I guess Grove is not around because I feel like maybe Grove would have some. Yeah, he's or just some like healing herbs.

SPEAKER_08 10:28

He can play a little pipe flute song.

SPEAKER_01 10:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 10:32

So yeah, it looks like she's shivering. She's shivering right now. The faint glow is fading.

SPEAKER_01 10:39

Yeah. Asking if the god like, yeah, can't the goddess heal her with magic? He's asking. Oh, Percy's asking. Yeah, he's Artemis.

SPEAKER_08 10:49

Because you would think, like, duh, let's let's see. But that, yeah, that nine, like, oh, if the if the fates.

SPEAKER_01 10:55

If the fates will to cut something, like there's not much anything, any even a god or a goddess can do.

SPEAKER_08 11:02

Um that I guess she still tries. Yeah. So what she's kind of setting her hands down next to the goddess.

SPEAKER_01 11:09

But yeah, Zoe kind of like strips her wrist and kind of goes into this like you know, they have this like look where I saved thee well.

SPEAKER_04 11:20

Oh my gosh, what a question. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_01 11:25

And so, yeah, she even offers, like, you know, I can try to heal the poison. And uh but yeah, this whole nine of like, yeah, it wasn't the poison though. This was the blow that Atlas, when he pummeled her, yeah, you know, like wrecked her, and it was ultimately the fulfillment of the prophecy that one would die by their parents' hands.

SPEAKER_08 11:51

Yeah, exactly. And that yeah, to think that Zoe knew from the get. From the get she still wise.

SPEAKER_01 11:58

Yeah, exactly. Because she knew, she probably knew this is Atlas that we're dealing with, the general. And the general is my father.

SPEAKER_08 12:06

Yeah, exactly. What do you know about that?

SPEAKER_01 12:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 12:09

The main boss that we have to defeat to actually be able to do all this is me, Daddy, my very own puppy.

SPEAKER_03 12:17

Daddy.

SPEAKER_00 12:18

Yeah, so that's raw.

SPEAKER_08 12:20

But that's so beautiful.

SPEAKER_01 12:21

Atlas's fury had broken her inside.

SPEAKER_08 12:24

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_01 12:27

Uh yeah, I'm glad Dahlia and Zoe, they kind of have this little Yeah, a little kumbaya. They heal themselves. They could have been sisters, they could have been tight. Yeah. They could have been a force. That would have been quite the little duo. Yeah, a little what if? Little Percy Jackson what if.

SPEAKER_08 12:43

Yeah, a little multiverse.

SPEAKER_01 12:45

Yeah, what if Dali and Zoe became sisters?

SPEAKER_08 12:48

Ooh. Yeah, if Talia joined the hunt and Abeth joined the hunt. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:54

Or if Zoe joined Dolly and Abeth, I can't. I don't know if she could.

SPEAKER_08 13:01

Would she have? Because you know, she's like, she has her immortality because of joining the hunt. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So she would like revoke her immortality.

SPEAKER_01 13:10

Yeah. That could be that could be a couple of things. Yeah, but that would be cool to see. I've lived 2,000 years now immortal all of a sudden. Yeah. It would be cool to see an alternate of Abeth and Thale joining the hunt. Oh, the hunts. And then just like a series of like the hunters.

SPEAKER_02 13:25

Yes, the hunters. Oh.

SPEAKER_08 13:29

Percy's doing his thing.

SPEAKER_01 13:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:31

They cross paths, and Percy's like, Abh! Please. No boys. Boys and you know I always love you too.

SPEAKER_05 13:45

Seaweed brain.

SPEAKER_08 13:47

But I got the hunt. I've got this boar to shoot. Oh gosh. But and ooh, but speaking of Percy, that um, because what Tolly is saying, like, you were right about everything about boys.

SPEAKER_09 14:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 14:02

About everything. And then, like, well, maybe not about all men.

SPEAKER_01 14:06

And then the sword. Oh, yes.

SPEAKER_08 14:09

Do you have the sword?

SPEAKER_01 14:10

And that was very nice. Like, you spoke the truth, Percy. You're nothing like Hercules. You carry the sword. Which is very nice, I'm sure, for Percy to hear.

SPEAKER_08 14:21

That is so nice. Because he is every bit as powerful as Hercules, but he's nothing like Hercy.

SPEAKER_01 14:27

Yeah, not a dick like Hercules.

SPEAKER_08 14:30

Self-absorbed, narcissistic. Obviously, very powerful.

SPEAKER_03 14:34

Yeah, but it's powerful everything.

SPEAKER_08 14:38

Yeah, exactly. Great responsibility. Percy bolsters his responsibility beautifully.

SPEAKER_01 14:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 14:45

But yeah, it does say, like, I am like you said, like, honored to carry this sword. Yeah. That's a beautiful blessing from Zoe. Yeah. Uh, but then she starts.

SPEAKER_01 14:55

Yeah. The shudder. Uh stars. Uh Artemis knows she's crying. And then boom, just like that, she says stars one more time and she's out.

unknown 15:07

Dang.

SPEAKER_01 15:08

Happens fast.

SPEAKER_08 15:09

Yeah. That's all I can hope for is like whatever way I'm gonna bite the big one. To maybe like know that it's coming and be able to have one of those moments of like the stars.

SPEAKER_01 15:21

I want to be under the open sky when you die.

SPEAKER_08 15:24

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_01 15:26

Please let me die under the open sky.

SPEAKER_08 15:28

Got you, P.

SPEAKER_01 15:30

It's a promise amongst brothers. Do you want to be buried on the open sky? Or do you want to die in the open sky? Yes. Absolutely. But make sure you die under the open sky.

SPEAKER_08 15:39

And I will do the same for you, Pete.

SPEAKER_00 15:41

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_08 15:42

I got you, brother.

SPEAKER_00 15:44

I feel this bone is real. It kind of came out of nowhere. It kind of did, but dude, that's.

SPEAKER_01 15:51

I don't want to die in a room. No. In a white room, especially. No. I'm gonna die under the open sky.

SPEAKER_08 15:58

Yeah. Maybe some nice music playing, maybe not. But yeah, just the open sky. Yeah. Whew! So yeah, but that that was a moment, man. Zoe.

SPEAKER_01 16:14

Yeah, Zoe, yeah. So and now the moment that we've created Yes, it's a promise.

SPEAKER_02 16:21

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 16:23

Yeah. It's a bond.

SPEAKER_04 16:27

Age of peptide.

SPEAKER_02 16:30

March is on.

SPEAKER_08 16:36

Um just like that. So yeah, we definitely have our moment of sadness. And then we get into that thing with uh the silvery wisp. Yes. Artemis comes in, puts the hand over the mouth, the the wisp is in ancient Greek.

SPEAKER_01 16:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 16:52

And then what yeah, the the wisp exhaling from Zoe's lips. Lips from the hand of the goddess.

SPEAKER_01 17:00

And then Zoe disappears. Shimmers and disappears. Just that's kind of nice.

SPEAKER_08 17:06

Dang, what how what a divine, what a divine moment.

SPEAKER_01 17:09

Because I mean it kind of makes sense. Like if she is technically 2,000 years old, then if she dies or revokes her immortality, then wouldn't she just instantly go back to being a 2,000-year-old body, which would be completely decomposed.

SPEAKER_08 17:28

Totally. Well. Or maybe it is just a little bit less. Well, because uh maybe if it was to be revoked, then okay, now officially you are mortal, and now your body starts that decomposition from.

SPEAKER_01 17:41

That would make sense.

SPEAKER_08 17:42

But since she died in the hunt, uh she still had divine her her form was disliked. She's divine.

SPEAKER_01 17:50

She's a divine creature. It disappears, and then Artemis just like breathes it into the sky.

SPEAKER_08 17:59

Oh, so beautiful.

SPEAKER_01 18:00

And then it flies up, and then tin tint. Zin. We've got a constellation dedicated to Zen.

SPEAKER_08 18:09

Oh my gosh. A girl with a bow running across.

SPEAKER_01 18:13

It's adorable.

SPEAKER_08 18:14

Live forever in the stars. That is that is so beautiful, man. Wow. And like we were saying what felt like a proper goodbye.

SPEAKER_01 18:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 18:26

My goodness. It's not easy saying our goodbyes.

SPEAKER_01 18:30

Yeah. So yeah, things are still popping off in Mount Tamount Pais. So, um, and of course, Artemis is like, yo, I gotta get to Mount Olympus.

SPEAKER_08 18:39

Yeah, that notion that she's like so upset that her she could combut or she could transform into a divine form at any moment. Would vaporize all of us in a split second.

SPEAKER_01 18:49

So she's gotta go. Yeah, she's gotta go. She says, I can't even take you guys, so but I'm gonna send help. Um, she kind of gives A Beth that little encouragement. You're brave, you're gonna do what's right. Um, Thalia, she kind of has this moment where they just like kind of a conversation through their eyes, it seems. Um but yeah.

SPEAKER_08 19:14

Maybe it's like, girl, well, you never joined the hunt, and what are you thinking about with Ophio Torres slash Blendocrorus?

SPEAKER_01 19:25

Right.

SPEAKER_08 19:26

Because that's not still fully off the table.

SPEAKER_01 19:29

She's definitely still considering it seems.

SPEAKER_08 19:31

Yeah. Or who or I mean, in that moment, charge, you're not Luke anymore. But who knows, yeah, who knows? But yeah, like you said, it says there's like some kind of a quizzical gaze between the two. And then what calls Percy a man?

SPEAKER_03 19:50

It's like, oh, Percy's a man now.

SPEAKER_01 19:54

He's growing up right before I managed. Wow, so yeah, and then boom, she's gone. You got the flash, the outlook away, of course, because if you were to look upon the glory, you would be disintegrated.

SPEAKER_08 20:06

You cannot gaze upon divine glory. Never, never. Um we snapped the Dr. Chase, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:13

I still prefer the Tina.

SPEAKER_08 20:16

Damn, I guess we well, and it's like even if you were to prefer Artemis, it's gonna be nothing but a chase.

SPEAKER_01 20:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 20:26

I mean, but you can still have your favorite goddess, even if it's not like I would a romantic, you know, create romance.

SPEAKER_01 20:37

Yeah, if you if you gotta rock desire towards Artemis, you're kinda just, you know.

SPEAKER_08 20:42

Chasing waterfalls.

SPEAKER_01 20:44

Yeah, chasing waterfalls. Get ready for a lifetime of wanking, because that's all you're gonna get.

SPEAKER_08 20:49

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01 20:50

Dragons and jaggers jagging alone in the shower crying.

SPEAKER_02 20:56

Artemis. Artemis.

SPEAKER_08 20:59

Every time you see the moon, it does you sad. It would just be sad bonus.

SPEAKER_01 21:06

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't choose Artemis as your love story.

SPEAKER_08 21:09

But Athena, that's cute.

SPEAKER_01 21:10

That's cute.

SPEAKER_08 21:11

Um so then now we get in like Abeth and Yeah, Dad, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_01 21:16

Um and yeah, he's just like, do what you gotta do.

SPEAKER_08 21:21

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01 21:22

Um then we got the Pegasus.

SPEAKER_08 21:25

Yeah, just like that, swoopity swap. Blackjack and two other white-winged horses.

SPEAKER_01 21:30

Yeah, Guido and Pork Pie. Guido and Pork Pie. So they roll in. Rolling in.

SPEAKER_08 21:38

You know, Blackjack is such a class.

SPEAKER_01 21:41

I know. Any of these goons you want to sustain be? No, these are the friends. Uh Percy's like, we gotta get to Olympus fast.

SPEAKER_08 21:48

He's like him, just wants to make sure the mortals knock up.

SPEAKER_01 21:52

Yeah, you can't take Dr. Chase. He's like, of course not. Chase is going out of zone.

SPEAKER_08 21:56

Yeah. But Chase is fascinated by him.

SPEAKER_01 22:00

Loves him. Wingspan, how does it work? Um Gassian, like what like what the cavalry charges of the Crimea. Yeah. Um Annabeth interrupts him. Uh sorry, dear, I know you must go.

SPEAKER_04 22:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 22:18

Uh they give a hug, and then yeah, he kind of does this whole um, yo, if you you know, San Francisco, I know it's dangerous, but we always have a place with us, and we're gonna keep you safe.

SPEAKER_08 22:29

Yeah, we'll keep you safe. So that's very sweet. It's like I got bronzed bullets, baby.

SPEAKER_01 22:34

Yeah, baby, I'll keep you safe. So that would be nice. We'll see. We got a couple more chaps, two more chapters. So we'll see. Maybe at the end of this, maybe Abeth will go home.

SPEAKER_08 22:47

Yes, exactly. Because I was thinking about this, like, in aft at the end of Lightning Thief, does she go home? Doesn't she go home? So did she run away from that? I think she maybe just decided not to go back. Okay. Or yeah, maybe, yeah, because the last notion of that ran away. She obviously did run away that wiki wiki.

SPEAKER_01 23:10

We'll have to get into the wiki about this one.

SPEAKER_08 23:12

Yeah, we'll have to dig a little deeper. Because I do remember, like, obviously, Percy, just that whole hillside.

SPEAKER_01 23:18

And I yeah, that I remember her saying, like, yeah, I'm gonna try it. I'm gonna get back and try it.

SPEAKER_08 23:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:24

So I don't know if she. Anyways, we'll see.

SPEAKER_08 23:29

But yeah, now we're getting on the Pegasi.

SPEAKER_01 23:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 23:32

And pretty much zerpin'in, derpin'in.

SPEAKER_01 23:35

And yep, they're off.

SPEAKER_08 23:36

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 23:38

And yeah, they're cruising over. San Francisco is behind them. That would be beautiful ride. Dude, that'd be amazing. Cruise on a pegasi and San Francisco to Manhattan and Mundalini. That's the crest.

SPEAKER_08 23:54

Crest to Crest.

SPEAKER_01 23:55

Yes, Crest to Crest.

SPEAKER_08 23:57

Oh my gosh, what a ride. So and it's cool to think even Thalia passed out.

SPEAKER_01 24:02

Yeah, she passed out. That's pretty nice.

SPEAKER_08 24:04

She was very tired because she's, you know, historically terrified of heights. Yes. So that's a big thing. And then what Percy and Abesh start chatting a little bit. Yeah, we got a little side by side. Oh my gosh. When I read that side by side, I was like, here we go. Here we go. This is adding another, you know, another little stick.

SPEAKER_00 24:21

It's not a big log, but it's it's adding to the flame. Yeah, it's adding to the flag. It's definitely not out. The fire's not on. Let the fire burn. So, you know, Percy's talking about the dancing.

SPEAKER_01 24:33

Dancing's cool, baby. She's a little like, uh, yeah, whatever, we can argue in. Um we've been uh she's kind of seeming a little defensive. Like, you think I was lying about that?

SPEAKER_08 24:45

Yeah, but it's a half-hearted, like kind of a I almost took it as like she's kind of like, ah, it's yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:53

But yeah, he's like, no, it just you know, it seems like it's cool. Seems like my stepmom's cool too. Um she's like, yeah, but maybe they got cooler. Yeah. He she's like, yeah, it's still like so far from camp, which is true.

SPEAKER_08 25:08

Yeah. Um because it is it always paints them as so bad. But then when we actually go to their house, it's like this place looks homey, we got chocolate chip cookies and it's like.

SPEAKER_01 25:18

It seems like they all care about A Beth when they talk about her.

SPEAKER_08 25:20

Totally. And now we got Pop straight saying, Yo, there's a place here, we'll keep you safe, guys.

SPEAKER_01 25:26

Right.

SPEAKER_08 25:26

So um, but he's you know, she's like, I don't know, but thanks for rescuing me. Yeah, that's awesome. We're friends, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:37

Oh my gosh, when she's Oh yeah, I don't know, because he asks her, like, what are you gonna do now? And yeah, she's like, I don't know, but thanks for rescuing me. Yeah, um, didn't believe I was dead, of course. Never, never, never, never give up, baby.

SPEAKER_02 25:53

And then this whole like, yeah, why are you talking about this? Like, come on, come on, read the room. Don't bring this guy up Senator Crust.

SPEAKER_00 26:09

Senator Crest. He's a dead, it's like, dude, Amen. He fell on the run.

SPEAKER_01 26:15

I don't know what we mean, but like that fall was pretty bad. You did see it right splattered. I know the same way you know about me is like, dude, do not compare.

SPEAKER_02 26:26

You really do not compare the connection that you and I have to the connection that you and him have.

SPEAKER_08 26:37

It's just rude. Just pulling the rug right out from under, like, girl. Damn. So much for our cool side-by-side Pegasus flight. Yeah, so anyways. And you know, time will tell.

SPEAKER_01 26:54

Yeah. That kind of like stops it there because now Blackjack and you know, he's talking. They're oh yeah. Uh, they're reaching New York. How's that for Speedy Boss? Um, you're the man, Blackjack, but then ABAT's still pushing. Don't believe me about Luke. We're gonna see him.

SPEAKER_08 27:14

He's under Cronus' spell, and that is the nine of like he is since his body's decaying, something's happening between him and Crow.

SPEAKER_01 27:24

Yes, there is some kind of connection there.

SPEAKER_08 27:26

So, and you know, the whole summoning, he's a wizard now. Yeah, he's a wizard. He is a wizard. What is a fall to a wizard?

SPEAKER_01 27:32

Yeah, exactly. Uh so but that mutter. Uh so and then yeah, kind of Percy thinks all the thoughts that I think all of us are thinking, which is like, how could she still have any feelings for this? Yeah, mother what? How? How could she make excuses for him? He deserved the fall. Damn, and he says it he deserved to die, which is kind of like when you put him in. Put him up against Bianca and when you put him up against Zoe, it's like, Oh my god. Yeah, why did they die versus someone like Lou? Straight up. Like if he's still alive, what the actual fuck?

SPEAKER_08 28:06

Yeah, straight up. What in the tenada tin tan rot?

SPEAKER_01 28:11

Which, you know, as we know in the real world happens more often than not.

SPEAKER_08 28:15

The gods have summited. And here we are, just like that. And there was that little nine, like, Artemis did say, you know, I'll but like, I'll bring you. So I don't know if she did straight up, you know, just looping all the way back around this question. Are we coming in hot? Are we cruising riding to Olympus? And I hope so.

We got two dual peaks. Yes. So if we don't do something here, Taylor Two Cities.

SPEAKER_03 30:13

It's the Taylor Two Cities. Only one city can stand. One city can stand at the end of the day. I I never really know what happened with between the tail of the two cities. I just know it's called the Tale of Two Cities, huh? Is it the best of times? The best of times it was the age of happiness, it was the age of revival. Something. I don't even know if they were warring.

SPEAKER_01 30:40

Were they warring?

SPEAKER_08 30:42

I don't know if they're worrying. Maybe it was just like maybe there was some love going on between the Tulsa Cetis.

SPEAKER_01 30:48

Yeah, reread the Tale of Tulsa, I guess.

SPEAKER_08 30:50

Yeah, who knows if one day the sons of Apollo chewed up so much lore.
