SPEAKER_00 0:55

Remember the name.

SPEAKER_03 0:57

Remember the name.

SPEAKER_00 0:59

The sweet, what a little invention. What a place to blast oneself.

SPEAKER_03 1:05

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 1:08

And to think he had that choice to just stay there. Had a life with Calypso. Yeah, just have a life. Planting, gardening. Little nine to nine.

SPEAKER_03 1:21

Not a bad thing.

SPEAKER_00 1:22

I can't say, yeah, exactly. It's hard to say whether or not I'd go for it, my son. But so many lessons to be learned. And a healing time form. It's interesting. He almost got like a little bit of a retreat. Yeah. Interesting place to blast oneself.

SPEAKER_01 1:40

Powers of parsing. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:42

Burs and bong.

SPEAKER_01 1:43

Brother.

SPEAKER_00 1:44

The Barcy Powers. And that's where uh yeah, I mean, we pretty much open up chapter 12. He takes that permanent vacation. He gets that option, though.

SPEAKER_02 1:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:55

It could have been forever.

SPEAKER_02 1:57

Right.

SPEAKER_00 1:57

Oh my gosh, but I'm happy. I guess I'm happy that he chose. Because God knows that was the question.

SPEAKER_03 2:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:03

Our question, our overarching question got uh which tickled right now.

SPEAKER_03 2:08

Yeah, it got tickled because the last time that he was with A Bet, didn't they kiss?

SPEAKER_00 2:14

Oh my gosh, yes. Yeah, she like kissed him and was like, Don't die on me, see.

SPEAKER_03 2:21

Don't die on me, seewee brain. Oh my oh damn. Good thing you didn't kiss the lip so yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:29

And it was close. It was a kiss on the forehead, but they didn't go lip to lip.

SPEAKER_03 2:33

There was that moment where they're like to lip with like looking into each other's eyes, and it was like, oh, are they about to macronums?

SPEAKER_00 2:40

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_03 2:41

She got sad.

SPEAKER_00 2:42

Mm-hmm. She oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_03 2:45

That's rough.

SPEAKER_00 2:46

Yeah, exactly. Because she knew it maybe from the beginning. It's just like here we go again.

SPEAKER_02 2:52

It's so cute. I can't let myself. I can't let myself.

SPEAKER_00 2:57

Oh my gosh. Yeah, well. Chapter 12. I take a permanent vacation. What are we uh what are we on? December 18th?

SPEAKER_03 3:07

Yeah, yes. Wednesday. December 18th, Thursday. Thursday. 2025.

SPEAKER_00 3:13

Almost living in the holidays.

SPEAKER_03 3:15

Almost in the holidays. I think a week away, yeah. A week from Christmas.

SPEAKER_00 3:19

Yeah, I'm excited for Christmas. This is a great gift. It makes me feel happy to be in the holidays with P bringing the good word to the people.

SPEAKER_03 3:29

Good word to the people.

SPEAKER_00 3:30

Mm-hmm. But yeah, what? So it pretty much opens with us just like he he's on fire. He's still in the water. Or no, no, he's on the beach.

SPEAKER_02 3:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:40

He's just tingling. Yeah. He's looking up and he's uh just pretty much still like, okay, I'm I'm alive. This isn't hell. And this was I've seen hell.

SPEAKER_03 3:54

And this was post his blast off. He was just in the labyrinth and went to the forges of Hephaestus and then had that whole like he was surrounded, used the ocean, exploded himself into the lava, which shot him out of the volcano, and then apparently onto this island of Ojija.

SPEAKER_00 4:15

Yeah, exactly. He just wakes up, he's like, okay, I'm I'm alive. And it's interesting to see the damage that it did to it. And it makes sense, he was covered in lava, he blasted into lava. He blasted himself into another dimension.

SPEAKER_03 4:31

Another dimension.

SPEAKER_00 4:32

The lost world of Ojijia.

SPEAKER_03 4:34

Ojijia. And yeah, and then that's when he pretty much sits up and we get our first introduction into Calypso.

SPEAKER_00 4:42

Calypso. And all of Caramel Balai. Mm-hmm. That almond eye. That bright.

SPEAKER_03 4:49

That bright. Oh, what that bright does. She's got a cool cloth across his forehead. She's giving him nectar. Pretty much telling her the rest.

SPEAKER_00 4:58

Nothing like a drizzled drizzle of nectar. It made me think of that uh what is that? The the technique that you get?

SPEAKER_03 5:06

Oh yeah, the sharodna.

SPEAKER_00 5:07

Sharodna, where it's just a bead. Yeah. Sesame. Welcome to Argesia.

SPEAKER_03 5:20

Um, but yeah, she's he's trying to ask questions, and she's just like, yo, just rest. You're on, you're at my island, I'm calypso. And then he just out wakes back up in the caves.

SPEAKER_00 5:34

Yeah. Um those caves are pretty trapping.

SPEAKER_03 5:38

Very cool. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:40

It would be a nice life to live in those caves, honestly.

SPEAKER_03 5:43

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 5:44

The the way the curtains just kind of get separated back and forth. Yeah. He's just chilling, the bed, the feather pillow, glittery stone walls, a little bit of everything he needs. Dude, so nice. Dried herbs. That's a good look. Some canned fruits. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 6:04

It's like it's a pretty nice life.

SPEAKER_00 6:07

Yeah, exactly. Really talking about the life. It's like I'm trying to get to OG.

SPEAKER_03 6:12

Yeah, exactly. First you trying to leave OG. I'm trying to get there.

SPEAKER_00 6:18

Oh my gosh. So what we're cooking up some beef stew. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 6:22

It looks like. So you go to find her.

SPEAKER_00 6:25

Mm-hmm. Well, there's like so that we got a fireplace built. There he goes over to the beef stew. He he can kind of just like smell it. He's still in a lot of pain, which makes sense. He finds he's in like a different outfit. He's wearing this the little white cotton outfit. Which is kind of a sleek little one. Yeah, chilling. Oh, we love that. The linens. It's interesting. Yeah, and Riptide's still on site for him, too. He has the Stygian whistle. Yeah, the Stygian whistle. Which is like what he was even questioning. What is going on with this Stygian whistle? So now he's get we're kind of like getting out of the bed, and he looks over, he sees himself in the mirror for the first time, and that's when he really realizes like I am a crispified critic. You've been roasted. He's lost something like 20 pounds. His whole head is looking like the edge of a festus' beard. What is that line like? If I would have seen myself, I would have locked my car doors. Just out on the streets busy. So what now he's kind of going out from the cave into this open meadow, and he can see all the different beautiful like cedar trees and everything, fountains gurgling, um, and then sloped down to the rocky beach. He's uh seeing the waves lapping, he can tell it's lake water to that little nine on the salt water. Mm-hmm. And he's uh he's a little bit like per perceptive. He's keeping it a little perceptible because he's like, this is paradise. Yeah. What what's the what's the what's the hook gonna be?

SPEAKER_03 8:22

Because there's always a hook. Every time he's been in paradise, there's always a hook. Cersei's Island, casing point, the spa magical totally. Everyone turned into him.

SPEAKER_00 8:35

Yeah, am I about to get turned into a guinea pig? I mean, it's all good for Abeth. Kind of, but you you know, there's a nine there, but what's the nine?

SPEAKER_03 8:45

What's the nine?

SPEAKER_00 8:46

And he can kind of see Calypso standing there on the beach, and uh he's she's talking to this like figure, yeah, this guy that she can see. And uh she she's she's kind of like, you know, just chatting. She seems a little bit sad about this whole notion. And Percy's still just a very he's keep yeah, he's keeping it tight right now. Yeah, he's not exactly sure. He's and he's also very weak right now, walking with the grass and everything. Oh my gosh. She's in that little white tunic. The tunic oh my gosh, the neckline trimmed in gold, trimmed and dimmed.

SPEAKER_03 9:30

And uh yeah, and so then he walks up, and then that other person is gone now, I guess.

SPEAKER_00 9:38

Mm-hmm. Doesn't really tell us really what's going on there.

SPEAKER_03 9:42

Yeah, or like who that he asks, and she's just like, oh, it's a messenger. Hermes? She did say Hermes visits from time to time.

SPEAKER_00 9:50

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_03 9:51

Um talks about like, you know, he's trying to figure out how long he's been out, like, how much time has it been? And she goes on, like, time doesn't really mean anything. What is time?

SPEAKER_00 10:01

Yeah. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 10:03

I know I know yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:05

Basking, oh yeah, yeah, I know you pee.

SPEAKER_03 10:08

Yeah, I don't know. Percy, and then he's like, oh, how do you know my name? She talks about how he's been talking in his sleep and asks about Abeth, which of course is like, well, awesome. So where am I again? How did I get here? And so she goes on to say, like, yeah, you basically just fell from the sky.

SPEAKER_00 10:30

Yeah, that's a wild nine, how he just and it thank the gods it was into water. Exactly.

SPEAKER_03 10:39

Yeah, and that's what she said. You landed in the water, the water seemed to cushion your fall.

SPEAKER_00 10:44

Oh, this is the bout.

SPEAKER_03 10:45

Yeah, which makes sense. It's got the water power. But yeah, that's when we get the first name dropped that this is OG Gia. Oh he asked if it's near Mount St. Helens. And uh she's basically like, it's just it's not near anything.

SPEAKER_00 11:00

Yeah, it's we exist in this place beyond, it's everywhere and nowhere.

SPEAKER_03 11:04

Yeah, exactly. You can see you can heal here.

SPEAKER_00 11:08

Oh, and that's a good spot for Percy to have his little spa day on.

SPEAKER_03 11:13

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 11:14

Or like a spa weekend, what is this, a month? This what is time I owe here?

SPEAKER_03 11:21

He's of course very worried about his friends. Oh, nice. Tyson, Grover, everyone, and she's just like, listen, you can't help him if you're not healed up. You're in like a rough state. Obviously, with that little look in the mirror, he's in a pretty rough state.

SPEAKER_00 11:35

This is Detri.

SPEAKER_03 11:36

He does need to heal.

SPEAKER_00 11:37

This is Detri. He needs some time to at least fill out.

SPEAKER_03 11:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:43

Uncrispify.

SPEAKER_03 11:44

So then that's when he kind of starts getting his little perceptives on. He's like, wait, so what's going on here? Like, you're on an island, are you a sorceress? Um you know, it brings up Cersei. Like, I've known some evil sorceresses. This is Detri. And um, and she's like, no, I'm not a sorcerer.

SPEAKER_00 12:03

Remember what happened with Cersei. But yeah, no, so uh, and that's yeah, she's saying, like, I'm I'm here to just help. Yeah. I'm a good girl.

SPEAKER_03 12:11

Exactly. And that's pretty much all she says. She's just like, I'm not the enemy. You should just go to rest. This like Jedi mind blinds him.

SPEAKER_01 12:22

She just waves like buckles.

SPEAKER_00 12:28

She has to catch him and just like carry him over to that little bench.

SPEAKER_03 12:32

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_00 12:33

Uh, good times just resting on a bench. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 12:37

But then pretty much just, you know, tells him to rest. We get that scent of the cinnamon and the juniper that she's got carrying on.

SPEAKER_00 12:43

Nothing like a cinnamon juniper. Uh-huh. And then he kind of just wakes up and it's nighttime again. Yeah. And it's interesting to be like, how have I slept? Is it this night? Is it the next night? But he's back in the cave. Uh, he's got this nice little robe wrapped around himself, brilliant stars outside. He can see all the different like constellations and stuff. Sagittarius, all the ones, Abet, the Totter, and uh the new one, the Huntress. The Huntress? Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03 13:17

You know, to Zoe Nike, our fallen warrior.

SPEAKER_00 13:20

Yes, exactly. RIP, remember the name that's powerful Zoe. Sacrifices. And uh she's and then all of a sudden, Percy, what do you see? And there's Calypso again, and it just kind of gets on to the nines of how absolutely beautiful Calypso is. That uh Percy has met Aphrodite, herself, the goddess of love and beauty.

SPEAKER_03 13:47

And he wouldn't say this in front of her.

SPEAKER_00 13:48

Never. But she can't hold a nine to Calypso. Uh-huh. Because it's just this like natural beauty that she has about her. You know, the moonlight. She's oh my gosh. And he's kind of just like even stumbling upon his words. Uh, I I I forgot Turkey Club. And she's like, uh, you know, as long as you're up, just plant these with me. Yeah. So they get down to their nice little planting time at the garden. Silver shades or something. Yeah, it's the moon lace. Moonlace. Yes. And uh he's like asking, like, well, what does it do? And Calypso's like, well, do it's kind of like it's just beautiful in its own little natural way, is what it does. Yeah. It's got no, it it can just be, you know, it gives beauty. Right. It why does it need to do anything?

SPEAKER_03 14:48

And then he's like, Yeah, you know, he's admiring the beauty of the garden. He's thinking back to he comments how like mom back at home had always wanted a garden. And then we get in this nine of like, he he's like, Well, why doesn't she have one? And he's like, Well, you know, because we're in Manhattan in an apartment. And she's like, What apartment? Apartment. It's like you know, he's like, Well, there's just not much space for gardening. She's like, Oh, well, that would be like a terrible place to be where you can't have space for a garden.

SPEAKER_00 15:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:20

Oh, yeah, but she's like, I didn't realize the world had changed so much that you can't have gardens. And then that's when she gets into this nine of like why she's even here. You know, he's like, Why are you even here? And she's like, Well, it's my punishment. Oh, and um, you know, he's like, Well, what did you do? And then that's when she's like, Well, it's not really what I did as much as what my dad did.

SPEAKER_00 15:42

My daddy, my atlas. My daddy Atlas. Good luck. And uh it's like the last time we were, we saw Atlas in the last yeah, he's the Titan car. He was the general, he was the general, he was one of the general. And we dealt with that boy.

SPEAKER_03 16:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:03

And to think he's like, he's back under the nine in that. Yeah. And it's like, who's gonna come and hold that thing? We don't know. But the last time we saw Atlas was trapped again. So it's like, and that's the truth, is it's like it's not fair to punish what for for what the father has done.

SPEAKER_03 16:21

But essentially that's why she's here is because she is related to Atlas. The gods have imprisoned her on this island.

SPEAKER_00 16:29

Totally, totally. And that's because calypso's kind of got those sad eyes just like looking at each other. Purs is like, what the heck is it? And it's like, well, are you healed yet? Are you gonna leave? And he's like, uh, well, uh, Turkey, my my legs are still pretty stiff. It's like, do you want me to, do you want me to go? And uh, well, duh. And she just goes off and runs off and kind of leaves Percy there. Calypso's kind of playing these little cute games in the moonlight.

SPEAKER_02 17:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:01

Because this is kind of the first time we're really basking with each other. Percy's getting his nines on, or he's like getting, he's a little more coherent now.

SPEAKER_02 17:09

Right.

SPEAKER_00 17:10

First time hanging out, and she's really just like, what is going on here? Yeah, and it's like we've just been kind of hanging out. It's hard, like, that's what it keeps touching on, how like time is really hard to tell exactly what's going on here. And um where he's what he is worried about his friends. He's thinking about like whether or not Abath even made it out of the volcano. He's trying to use his empathy link with Grover, but it's it's just not making contact, you know. It's like he doesn't know anything about his outside world, what's happening, but he knows he's pretty weak. Yeah, and that's the truth, is he needs to like he need he needs to heal, he needs to have his time on this thing.

SPEAKER_03 17:54

Right. Then he's talking about how, like, yeah, this time warp thing and Ogigia, um, it's reminding him of like the Lotus Casino, how it just kind of almost has this amnesia effect where he's like, why?

SPEAKER_00 18:10

Yeah, and but it was like the Lotus Casino kind of had like a drawing, like it didn't want you to leave. Yeah, even when it was time to leave, he knew, but it was like oh a little bit to track you, but this one actually isn't, yeah. Yeah, it's like not that.

SPEAKER_03 18:25

He knows he needs to leave, but he just can't for whatever reason. And then, of course, this calypso will added it.

SPEAKER_00 18:33

And of course, we got that sonarian thing.

SPEAKER_03 18:35

The narian therein. Um that that's yeah, and we're just talking a lot about like Calypso. Talking a lot about Calypso.

SPEAKER_00 18:51

This this chapter did have such a romancey novel. It really did.

SPEAKER_03 18:56

Like, she's kind of like the real life Cinderelli almost. Like all the birds are coming and landing on her arms. Oh my gosh, that part was so none to nice. God, it's so Disney.

SPEAKER_00 19:09

Just watching her dig and garden and she lifts out her arms, she she what even like sings to Percy right in the beginning. She is a very she's dreamy, man.

SPEAKER_03 19:22

And then it's talking about these whole like invisible servants, how pretty much like now he starts to notice like everything just kind of gets done on the island, just invisibly, like he gets up and then the bed starts getting me. Yeah, and so that's pretty nice.

SPEAKER_00 19:40

Yeah, it's kind of cool.

SPEAKER_03 19:41

So it just kind of seems like the island really has like it's such a nice place to be at that like it in itself is its own draw. It feels like you've got all your manners taken care of, and you've got this beautiful Babe Laia here.

SPEAKER_00 19:56

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_03 19:57

That just wants to heal you all the time.

SPEAKER_00 19:59

Yeah, it just wants to garden and smile, but it's kind of playing a little bit of shifty, but but then now, yeah, we're at this dinner. And she has kind of started to warm up to us just a little bit.

SPEAKER_03 20:12

A little bit, and then they're starting to like kind of flirt, chat, and then she kind of like drops her gaze again, and um that's when he like starts to like try to pry, like, dude, what that look, you keep doing that look, like why do you keep what is it? Like, what's so wrong here? Why can't you just let yourself enjoy it?

SPEAKER_00 20:34

Yeah, exactly. And she kind of finally says, like, well, it's just but what my punishment is, and you know, she kind of finally starts to get off with this whole punishment, what's going on? Right, that like I will never visit Manhattan or anywhere else, that I will always be alone here. It's like, well, it's because my father was Atlas and like Zoe wasn't here. Or Zoe, you know, she her father was atlas.

SPEAKER_03 21:08

Oh, yeah, because Purse brings it up. He's like, well, Zoe's dad was Atlas and she was like running around free. Like, what's the whole nine? And then that's when she's like, Well, I actually supported uh Atlas.

SPEAKER_01 21:21

It's like Oh you do know he's an evil titan. Yeah, exactly. The Titan Lord, the Titans are evil, and Calypso's kind of saying, like, are all titans evil?

SPEAKER_03 21:31

Yeah, are they? She's really she's really making Puris like question it.

SPEAKER_00 21:35

It's like, is it just because they're your family that you support them?

SPEAKER_03 21:39

Right. She makes him question the gods, and that's when he's like, that's what point, you know, like he thinks about back to when he brought the lightning bolt back, and then the gods were like, Alright, so do we kill him or not? Yes, it's like, oh, so are the gods really like good?

SPEAKER_00 21:58

Mm-hmm. And that's the Truth is like Percy kind of admits, like, I do probably just more support him because he's my the way. And it's like Calypso is kept pretty well there, and people do visit time from time. Like she's telling Perse, like, I got some buddies, some of the gods and stuff. They leave and I'm stuck here.

SPEAKER_03 22:19

Yeah, that's essentially a curse, is that like people can come, but they can always leave. She can't.

SPEAKER_00 22:25

And she kind of is like, I promised I wouldn't speak of this. She really starts. Oh my gosh. And it's so beautiful. We have the lake glowing. Uh things are getting bright. There's uh oh, and there's all of a sudden like this burning. We got her fish coming in. Right. You look out over on the horizon and something's showing up.

SPEAKER_03 22:47

And then before Hevestus, though, and did it also talk about how like essentially that's her curse is that she like kind of falls for these heroes.

SPEAKER_00 22:58

No, she's still keeping it a little bit close to the chest.

SPEAKER_03 23:02

Okay, so okay, now we got Hefestus coming in.

SPEAKER_00 23:04

Yeah, exactly. Kind of cuts it off. So Hephestis is showing up. This was a kind of cool. It was a cool entrance.

SPEAKER_03 23:13

Fireblaze over the lake.

SPEAKER_00 23:16

Oh my gosh. And it's the truth, it's like it's a rare honor. I'm sure he he really probably just showed up because Percy's on side. Right. Mm-hmm. Because he really is like, I need to have a word with Percy. Is the first thing he says when he's showing up. They kind of sit down, he brings him a Pepsi. There's that whole night with the invisible servants, like fumbling the Pepsi.

SPEAKER_01 23:39

Stupid servants, a Tomatones. I'll go tomatons any day over invisible servants.

SPEAKER_00 23:46

Uh-huh. And he immediately asks, like, yo, what's up with Abeth? Annabeth, is she okay? And he of like, she's okay. Made it, made it back, all all's okay. She's worried, and it's like, yo, have you told her? Does anybody know? And he hasn't. He's keeping it kind of close to the chest. It's like, I didn't want to tell anybody because he's saying, like, I'm not sure you are gonna be coming back.

SPEAKER_03 24:15

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 24:16

Uh-huh. It's like, well, of course I'm coming back. We'll see about that one now. He pulls out that little like bronze TV thing.

SPEAKER_03 24:31

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 24:32

Shows that news thing about what uh what happened on Mount St. Helen. That was kind of fun reading that little uh nine about a news reporter. Yeah, the news reporter. I got that news reporter voice unlocked today.

SPEAKER_03 24:45

Well, no, that's ever been reported.

SPEAKER_00 24:47

It's crazy, just it was like ultimately like an eruption out of Mount St. Helen.

SPEAKER_03 24:52

Half a million people evacuated.

SPEAKER_00 24:54

My nine to nine. The illnesses, nobody's been reported dead, so it's like maybe it wasn't a full or I mean some some serious stuff.

SPEAKER_03 25:05

Serious stuff, and then not only that, he was saying the eruption uh stirred Typhon.

SPEAKER_00 25:11

Unda Karunda funda.

SPEAKER_03 25:13

So of course, first is like, wait, what? You know, he's kind of reinforcing his nine that uh yeah, Festus was like, You sure you want to come back, dog? Like you should probably just get it.

SPEAKER_01 25:24

Yeah, exactly. Yo, Tophin is stirring in the burn. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 25:30

It kind of brings back like this whole like, yo, you are the son of the earth, shake it.

SPEAKER_00 25:34

Yes. You don't know your own power, boy.

SPEAKER_03 25:38

Exactly. And that's a that's the yeah, and then he's like, yeah, maybe it is better for like meeting my friends that I just remain dead.

SPEAKER_00 25:49

You know?

SPEAKER_03 25:50

Because I'm obviously causing trouble out there.

SPEAKER_00 25:52

Yeah, exactly. But I mean he helped a lot, but he does. I mean, Percy's known to store the Percy pack.

SPEAKER_03 25:59

Per packed. Um he asked about Grover and Tyson, and we don't know about the still just like the labyrinth has them.

SPEAKER_00 26:08

The labyrinth has them. Oh my goodness gracious.

SPEAKER_03 26:11

So that's raw. And um, so yeah, he's like, dude, so like what am I supposed to do? And that's when he kind of gets on this whole like Aphrodite thing, like, you know, Aphrodite, right? Love. Gotta watch out for that. Love can be a tricky mess you up. And uh then that's when he's like, well, so is Aphrodite, like, is that why I'm here? Is this part of her plan? Because of course we know Aphrodite has definitely gotten involved in clubs.

SPEAKER_00 26:42

Oh, yeah. She pretty much told Percy that she was gonna make it a little bit difficult and tricky just because she gets a kick out for her entertainment. Aya kunta.

SPEAKER_03 26:52

Rah.

SPEAKER_00 26:56

It's the game of love.

SPEAKER_03 26:57

But then he kind of like gets really cryptic here with this whole like, you know, he's like, yeah, I don't know if she's involved, but here's the thing if you leave, it's got nothing to do with Ariadne's string. The string works. That's what the Titans are going for.

SPEAKER_00 27:16

Yeah, sure. The string works, but there's something a little bit.

SPEAKER_03 27:26

But she was clever and she could see, she could see very clearly. So what I'm saying, I think you know how to navigate the maze. So that's where I was like, Yeah, that's where I was like, who's he referring to? It seems like he's referring to someone here. Is he referring to like uh Abeth? Is he referring to Rachel Elizabeth Dare? Because when I think of like a mortal that can see his mom? His mom has the gift of sight.

SPEAKER_00 27:53

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_03 27:54

Anyways, it seems like he figures it out. Percy figures it out. Here had been right, the answer is there all the time. Interesting.

SPEAKER_00 28:01

It does kind of still keep it a little bit close to the chest, but at least Percy's saying, Yo, I got this.

SPEAKER_03 28:06

And so then that's when it really just comes down to like, you know, Professor's like, well, the real question is like, are you gonna leave this place or not? Then because seems like you know what deny is, but are you gonna leave, boy?

SPEAKER_00 28:20

Yeah, and of course Percy wants to be able to say, like, yes, of course, but it's like the words get kind of stuck in his throat a little bit because he's like he thinks about it all, like it's a nice scenario.

SPEAKER_03 28:31

Yeah, encalito.

SPEAKER_00 28:32

Incalilo. It's and he's still gotta heal. Yeah. He's gotta heal, wing, wing. And Infestus even like, no, no, don't even decide. Decide at daybreak.

SPEAKER_03 28:46

Yeah. Which is kind of a cool little man.

SPEAKER_00 28:52

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Mm-hmm. And uh, and he's even asking, like, is Deadalus gonna even help us? Because that is the truth, is like he's kind of he's a little bit of a dirty birdie. He killed his seen the visions. Mm-hmm. And Festus is kind of on team Deadless a little bit. It's like it's not easy being a brilliant inventor.

SPEAKER_02 29:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:14

People make mistakes. And that was kind of a there was a lot of cool little just insights, I feel like, in this chapter. Where he's like, when people, like when you break people, you can't fix them. Yeah. When machines break, you can fix them.

SPEAKER_03 29:28

But you can't fix people. That's deep.

SPEAKER_00 29:31

Yeah. He brushes the last of the Pepsi off and everything. And uh he was talking about just Deadlys a little bit more, like how you know it started off good, but like Deadless didn't always have the most fair game either. So everybody can make mistakes. We don't know if Deadalus is gonna help, but you know, we'll have to see. It's a good it's the best spot to start, is what we have to the And then he's probably pretty much like, you know what to do now. Lad, I'm out skis. He says goodbye in kind of like a final way. Yeah. What are you thinking, thing? What are you thinking? Bitch. And then all of a sudden he just bursts into flames. Which is cool. Yeah. Just cruises right off on the water. He kind of takes a he takes a walk after this. He's like, Well, what what's next for me? He really is thinking about this deeply. Percy. Percy. Percy. Kinda cruises back up to calypso, just she's, you know, making her way in the garden. And uh that's when she kind of starts to get into this nine about like, I promised I would not offer one for you to stay. Like, like stay forever, honey. And she straight up tells him, like, yeah, be be immortal on this island. Live with me. You would never have to fight others. You could escape your prophecy. And he's like, just like that. And yeah. Yeah. And he's kind of looking like, but you know, what about my friends? And uh, like just picks up the hand. It they are getting very touchy-feely, they've gotten close in their time on the island, and that's where she's really getting into time where it's like every now and then these heroes will just wash up ashore. And they always are the cutest. It happens maybe once every a couple thousand years. And it's it's this cute thing that every time I can't, I just falls in love with him. I just can't go myself. Yeah. Pose is just like uh t me? Yeah. Pose is so he's a humble man, but I'm sure he's a stud love and he's the son of the sea cat.

SPEAKER_03 32:05

Exactly. But yeah, that's essentially her ultimate punishment, is that they just send her these heroes that she can't help but fall in love with, and that's the trick is that they can always leave and she can't, and they always leave. And she's always left heartbroken, and so that's why she's like, I told myself I wouldn't even offer. Um, but essentially she's like, but that's really the only way you could help me, is by staying here with me.

SPEAKER_00 32:38

And uh because I think you're cute, Percy. Just like, okay.

SPEAKER_03 32:44

And then just like that, we got the sunrise happening. He remembers the words. He remembers the words.

SPEAKER_00 32:51

Remember the word, boy.

SPEAKER_03 32:53

And uh he's like, yeah, good time for decisions. And that's when he doesn't even say Oh, yeah, he says straight up, he's like, I would never do anything to hurt you, but my friends need me, and I know how to help them, so I have to get back. And that's it. She kisses him on the forehead.

SPEAKER_00 33:12

Zunda.

SPEAKER_03 33:12

And he's like, Well, let's send you on your way. And just like that, we got a raft set up on the lake.

SPEAKER_00 33:18

Oh my gosh. It all happens so suddenly. It's kind of like, well, I can't.

SPEAKER_03 33:23

What about just a little bit more? Yeah. And even says he's like, as like her hand slipping out of his hand, he's like, Maybe I can come back and visit you. And she's like, No, you can't. No, you can never come back.

SPEAKER_00 33:36

He'll never see me again.

SPEAKER_03 33:37

No man ever finds Ojigia twice. Oh. Oh yeah. She just says, Don't worry, Priscilla, just remember me. Plant a garden in Manhattan for me.

SPEAKER_00 33:49

Oh, that's the cute cute.

SPEAKER_03 33:50

Which is like, I will. And then boom blah, just like that. He's off sailing and just wondering about what the rest of his life would be if he did stay. Oh, no doubt. So she would always be my biggest what if.

SPEAKER_00 34:03

That what if though. I wonder if we're gonna be talking. I mean, she's just kind of like, what's he gonna say to Abeth when he runs into Abeth again? Just like Well, but at the end of the day, he says, I turned away the island for you, girl. And I think that there's something really cute. Our way too day list is really, really cute. And Percy knows the way. So we got a little bit of a direction. Yeah, it's so interesting.

SPEAKER_03 34:32

And now he's going to have Camp Half-Blood. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 34:35

Yeah, yeah, that Camp Half Blood nine.

SPEAKER_03 34:37

It's like if he knows what to do, so then maybe I'm thinking like maybe it is Rachel.

SPEAKER_00 34:41

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03 34:42

Is she at but is she at Camp Half-Blood right now? No. Is she at Camp? No, I think Or was she? Because at the beginning of the book, was she there? Yeah. I think she was at the school, right? Oh, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, yeah. At the school, and she like helped him get away, right?

SPEAKER_02 35:01

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03 35:03

Yeah, Percy Rachel warned. Tammy. Oh yeah, Tammy and Kelly. Yeah, so she helped. So yeah.

SPEAKER_00 35:16

Yeah. And we'll see, yeah, so we're going back.

SPEAKER_03 35:18

Yeah, so if he's going back, anyways, we'll see what his plans are. Yeah, exactly. Because there is an entrance to the labyrinth at Camp Hathaway, right?

SPEAKER_00 35:25

That much we know, so he can dive back in. Yeah. And I don't know if he knows.

SPEAKER_03 35:30

And if he's got this way to like navigate the the labyrinth now, then he should be able to find them.

SPEAKER_00 35:37

The the key. That'll be cool to see when you like you got the secret wink to know what's going on. Quink in the labyrinth. Okay. Yeah, what a fun.

SPEAKER_03 35:49

What a little what a little bit. That was a nice, uh that was a sad little chapter. Um hopefully that won't be the last we hear of Calypsi.

SPEAKER_00 36:00

Yeah, exactly. Because, you know, she is she deserves love. Yeah. She really does. And I mean, our hearts go out to her on the island. She's living well, but it's lonely.

SPEAKER_03 36:10

It's lonely.

SPEAKER_00 36:11

He's lonely. We all deserve something. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 36:13

And what is living well if you're lonely?

SPEAKER_00 36:15

Yeah, exactly. Well, but I'm happy that Percy chose. Yeah. Because team Percy Abeth, whatever.

SPEAKER_03 36:24

Knowing Percy, he's not gonna forget about Calypso.

SPEAKER_00 36:29

He's gonna try to help.

SPEAKER_03 36:30

He's gonna try to help. Even if he can't get back there, I feel like he's gonna try to help.

SPEAKER_00 36:36

Straight up. We'll see.

SPEAKER_03 36:38

And she's the sister of Zoe Night Cheed.

SPEAKER_00 36:40

Come on. Yeah, we like that family. We like that family a lot. Mad love to that whole family. Outside of, yeah, exactly, exactly. But the family the the tree. We like the branches. Maybe the branches. Maybe not the trunk.

SPEAKER_03 36:54

Maybe not the trunk. The trunk is a little long.

SPEAKER_00 36:58

Crunk though. What about chapter 13? Chapter 13 next. Onward and upward. We'll see you beautiful black one.

SPEAKER_03 37:09

There you go.
