you’re one of Tim’s brothers?
you’re not a charity case. my mom - she was killed when i was a kid but. it’s not your everything
a friend makes it better. are they here?

secret demigod camp. cabins are assigned by your parent

[hackingyoursensors]

yeah but it's complicated
i'm supposed to be the oldest but i'm the youngest
so i've never met tim or the others until i got here

i'm sorry to hear about your mom

she's not. it's probably better that way.

that's a lot of cabins

[demigoth]

that sucks? i don’t know. im supposed to be 91 but im 16. im good with not being old

[ Just ignoring the bad subject minefields. ]

there’s a lot. they’re still building more for the minor gods. some of them don’t get used but nobody’s telling hera we’re giving her cabin to apollo for the overflow

[overlyprecocious]

you're supposed to be what??

[demigoth]

it’s not a big deal

this is the oldest ive been. it’s not like im really an old man. don’t trust magic hotels

[hackingyoursensors]

is that a demigod thing? aging differently?

oh definitely. if she's anything like the stories, i wouldn't want to be on her bad side.

[demigoth]

no its a getting stuffed in a magical hotel thing. i dont recommend it

hey every side is her good side to her face

[hackingyoursensors]

yeah i'll put that on my to-*don't* list.

dealing with gods sounds rough

i only have to deal with people who think they're gods

they're just obnoxious

[demigoth]

good plan

they're... not boring

who thinks their gods? besides the teachers at school.

[hackingyoursensors]

the usual. mad scientists and people claiming to be immortal. they tend to start trouble all over and people like me get caught in it.

there's also this one crossing guard near my school

he has this weird power trip like he's the god of the crosswalk

[demigoth]

mad scientists are the usual? also that sounds like gods. you described multiple pantheons in two sentences

your crossing guard? janus

[hackingyoursensors]

yeah but people with big egos and too much power are common overall. mad scientists are just easiest to spot.

janus? idk he definitely only has one face.

[demigoth]

why are they easier to spot? don't they just look like everyone else

in my world the mist means you'd never see if he had more than one

[hackingyoursensors]

they have big egos and want everyone to know how smart they are

is the mist like some kind of shroud
something that manipulates brain chemistry?

[demigoth]

sounds annoying

i guess. does magic manipulate brain chemistry? because it's magic

[hackingyoursensors]

not sure. no one has done an experiment on it as far as i know. it sounds like it might be cool to find out but idk how magic could be objectively quantified.
