[Semi-Open] Sometimes the Truth sucks

[callmewhateveryuwant]

Who: Yu and anyone around the vicinity of Cabin 11 (Basically open to anyone wandering around)
When: Backdated to his arrival (Friday evening)
Where: Around Cabin 11
What: New guy getting the feel of the place. Also, a claiming.
Warnings: No swag involved. Everyone is safe.


He had to let it sink in for a minute. For someone who had been looking for the truth during the past year, he just got smacked with the biggest lie of his life. He was half god and born from this strange world...only to be sent to another where he lived quite the normal life until his arrival in Inaba. When he stepped off of that train, that's when he started to live and learn everything that he knew now. But now, he isn't so sure.

A part of him wanted to say how much of a lie this all is: he was just a simple human who managed to beat a death goddess by proving her logic faulty. Not a demigod of some unknown Greek deity. But he knew deep down that this was too big to be a farce, he just had to get used to the idea.

They told him that he was 'unclaimed' and all campers had to go to a certain cabin until their parent did so; except for those who weren't from Olympus and therefore had to stay there. It couldn't be that bad...could it? He found himself asking that as he saw the outside of Cabin 11. To put it simply: it looked like Hell. Of course, that wasn't Yu's thought as he actually did something...peculiar: walk around the outside of the cabin. It looked worn down and probably took a couple of beatings but overall, it wasn't bad.

"...it just needs a little care, that's all." he spoke to himself as he put a hand on the wall. Things could be a lot worse and if so, it looks like it can be fixed just fine. He can accept that without any qualms; after all, he accepted his true self as well as those of his friends. But unknown to him, something started to form. As he continued to look at his new home, he was unaware of the fact that his parent did take notice.

And if anyone was around, they too will see the sudden symbol of the messenger of the gods reveal itself. Someone...might need to tell him too.

Welp, someone just pressed the 'sci-fi geek' button on Yu's brain. Thanks for that.

"A space pirate? That's something I don't hear very often. What kinds of things did you do?"

Because her life sounded a little more interesting than what he has to say.

"Oh, you know. Robbed ships, evaded the Navy. We didn't even actually kill anyone on ships we plundered, just walked on waving guns and cutlasses around and took supplies." She gave another grin. "It's amazing what people will do if you look like you're going to hurt them, even if you aren't."

She shook her head. "I suppose that's behind the rest of the crew now, at least. We'd actually just been recruited as members of the Secret Service before I was brought here. I suppose they'll need to find a new alchemist now."

[callmewhateveryuwant]

So more like a vigilante than a villain.

"How did that happen?" he had to ask. Using the term 'secret service' involving pirates usually meant something: like the idea that pirates were good guys or it was some kind of deal. But who knew in her world; things could be different.

[little_lost_lizard]

"It involved saving the world from extraterrestrial spiders from before the dawn of time and preventing the queen from being squashed by a giant automaton. So we got pardoned and inducted into the Secret Service rather than all getting hanged."

She deliberately said this as nonchalantly as she could manage, just to see what sort of reaction it got.

[callmewhateveryuwant]

...sister you do not realize how hard he is fanboying inside right now.

"That's...really something."

No really, no one can imagine how much he is internally fan squeeing.

[little_lost_lizard]

She can't quite manage to keep a straight face long enough, and she covers her mouth as she giggles. "I'm sorry. I know it's fairly unbelievable, but it's actually true. Though if you want some advice - never go to Saturn if you can help it at all. It's a wretched place."

Wait until he finds out she stormed the place with just her, a giant sea anemone, and a twelve-year old.

"I'll make a note of that if I ever get the chance to." he replied with a small grin. Weither he was joking or being serious is anyone's guess.

But for now, it was best not to tell her his own stories. Not very far in the social link yet.

[little_lost_lizard]

"Smart man."

She cocked an eyebrow at him. She had eyebrows now, that was still such an odd feeling. "Are you sure your life was ordinary? I mean, I haven't asked a lot of people, but it does seem logical for demigods to attract... unusual events, even in other worlds. The Greeks were very heavy on fate, I know."

orz, sorry is late ;;

[callmewhateveryuwant]

Sorry sister, he's keeping his mouth shut. Telling people on his first day in town that he shook a death goddess's hand, gained power, saved people from a different world, and solved a murder mystery?

Yeah, how crazy did that sound?

"Nothing out of the ordinary for me."

No problem!

[little_lost_lizard]

About as crazy as telling people she was a space pirate from 1851 who saved the world from giant space spiders? Though he's the only one who's actually been told the "saved the world" bit.

She raises an eyebrow and shrugs a little. "Alright, suit yourself." Wow, not even "if you say so". She's certainly convinced her new brother must be holding something back.
