New Yurk Stock Exchange [Video Post]

I don't know what to make of this place. It's got moments of dead quiet and then-- [Cut off by a sudden stampede. Bears and bulls go running by and Smoker just dodges out of the way and climbs onto some high rocks and lets the laptop camera take it in. And then there's more of the stampede with men in business suits carrying briefcases and running desperately out of breath chasing the bulls and bears.] This is completely nuts... shit wait for it. [And then they all come running back again in the other direction they originally came from, the businessman running away from the rampaging bulls and bears.]

[Waits for the dust to settle and sighs.] So I guess the bulls are supposed to be on the stock exchange? In exchange for money or bears I don't know. But apparently something happened and it's all gone to hell. And anytime I lasso those men in suits away from their herd they just babble about needing to chase the bears and bulls and "dollar signs." I have no freaking clue what a dollar is supposed to be. Unless they use sand dollars for currency? I guess I could go dig some up to try to bribe one of them for information.

This is ridiculous. If this is supposed to be a punishment Sengoku, you made your goddamn point. Can I have a real assignment? They don't even have a boss to talk to. Tch. Who the hell wears a tux to deal with bulls? Stupid...

[Walks off back to shore and in the background the stampede starts up again.]

Oh Tsuzuki. Happy Birthday. Is the color okay?

Yeah.

How should I know? I just showed up here.

Well I'm in the process or fixing up a ship. Then I figure I'll look for my friends. And a way home.

Why do you ask?

I'm not in it for the treasure. Unless one of you have something that would be of actual value to me, I'm not looking to bother anybody. I just want to find my friends and go home.

[identity profile] sonoftheseadog.livejournal.com 2010-02-26 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. And I've been told that they might never show up. But I can't just sit and wait. I'm going to look for them.

Does that work? They're not even from here.

Um well. Grover. He's a satyr, half man half goat. But he could be using a disguise to appear human. So I don't know if a description would really help that much. And Annabeth...she has long blonde, curly hair, and the most beautiful gray eyes you've ever seen. But she..she has a cap that can render her invisible. So if she doesn't want to be found, you won't find her.

All right, then.

No...a satyr is just...a satyr. Top half of a man, bottom half of a goat. There are a lot of them.

And Grover's not a demigod, he's a satyr. Annabeth is a demigod, though, yes. Daughter of Athena.

I'm not surprised. But that's what he is.

Athens is a city. Athena is the patron goddess of the city.

All right. Thanks.

Annabeth. Yes.

[identity profile] sonoftheseadog.livejournal.com 2010-02-26 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Well. Annabeth's father lives in California, and I'm not sure where Grover is from originally. He lives at camp all year round.

...nevermind about California. It's another place in my world. And camp is Camp Half-Blood. A camp for demigods.

Pretty much. We learn how to fight. We learn Greek and Latin. Stuff like that.
