So here is another update, this was as random as I got this week, and I hope you enjoy this one because it's in ATHENA's POV. And my special guest for this chapter is Ares(emphasis on the special)
Ares: Can we get to the bloody parts now? *Sharpens knife*
Me: No, there are no bloody parts in this chapter. And put that knife away! *Glares at him*
Ares: Fine woman. *Puts away knife* Now do the disclaimer.
Me: I do not own the gods or Percy Jackson, now do I own the plot line for Regular Day In Olympus by IHeartLukeCastellen, but it is a really funny story, go read it after this, I garentee you'll laugh.
Athena's Point of View:
It was a regular day on Olympus, well, not so regular as Hermes and Apollo had convinced everyone to play charades, so far Hera had been a duck, Zeus had been a tree, Hermes had been a worm, Hades had been an idiot(truely, his slip said idiot, although I did get a glare from Poseidon when I offered his name as a suggestion to Hades. But when we saw the slip and I mentioned my guess was dead on Poseidon nearly drowned me), so while I sat soaking wet it was Poseidon's turn, so far he'd been leaping and prancing around, although Ares was the one who got glared at when he suggested Poseidon was playing Aphrodite, I did find that rather humourous myself.
"Hades!" Demeter called out, making us all laugh as Poseidon looked incredulous and Hades glared at Demeter.
"A rainbow!" Aphrodite squealed as Poseidon did an extra high leap, he scrunched up his nose cutely- did I just call him cute? Okay, Athena, just step back, close that thought train door, run as far away from it as you can and hide under your bed with Mr. Snuggles.
"Athena... ATHENA!" I snapped back to reality to find everyone staring at me with either terrified or worried expressions.
"I'm sorry, what did you need?" I asked with a nervous laugh.
"It's your turn to guess what Poseidon is." Artemis informed me, I nodded and concentrated on Poseidon's leaps and bounds.
"A ballerina." I called out, making Poseidon stop in his tracks, he nodded mutely with a pink tinge to his cheeks and sat on his throne.
"Your turn Athena." Aphrodite sang in a low tone, I nodded and walked over to the bowl containing all the slips in my human size, I picked one up at random and opened it to read.
A cow.
Hera. was my first thought, it would be something I would call out if someone else had this slip and I knew what they were playing. I walked to the middle of the throne room and closed the slip before placing it in the back pocket of my jeans. Then I relucantly went down on my hands and knees, it was degrading and I felt very foolish for having agreed to this game.
"A bear!" Apollo called out first, I shook my head and slowly started to crawl around the throne room, still feeling pretty stupid.
"A boar!" Ares yelled, I rolled my eyes and while grimacing, pretended to eat grass.
"Hera!" Hephaestus finally shouted, I snickered. "A cow!" He added, ignoring the glare being sent to him from Hera, I smirked and stood up, showing my slip to everyone.
"Correct Hephaestus." I said as I skipped over to my throne, which to my distaste, was next to Poseidon's. We all watched in silence as Hephaestus limped over to the bowl and took a slip, he read it in silence, but his face changed emotions once or twice, from neutral to curiousity to amusement.
"Well, get on with it!" Hera snapped, clearly still miffed with the cow comment, Hephaestus cheerfully limped to the middle of the throne room and seemed to ponder how to go about his actions. Finally he started skipping around the room childishly.
"... Aphrodite?" Apollo called out questionally, Hephaestus shook his head a smile on his face, meanwhile Apollo recieved a high heel to the head, with love from Aphrodite.
"A little girl?" Poseidon called out loudly, making me wince and rub my ear.
"Be careful water weed." I hissed at him, he made a face at me and I decided to ignore him as Hermes took a turn at guessing.
"You're... you're... Artemis!" Hermes shouted out, drawing disbelieving looks as Hephaestus stopped and showed his slip, Artemis was clearly written in Apollo's writing. I looked at the goddess of the hunt, she looked torn between ripping apart Hephaestus, Hermes or Apollo.
"Hermes it's your turn." Aphrodite called out sensing the same thing I did, Hermes bolted to the bowl and picked out a slip. As he read it a sly grin spread over his face, making me wary.
"This could be interesting." Demeter remarked as Hermes walked over to Poseidon and batted his eyelashes at the man on the throne.
"Ohh!" Aphrodite squealed in excitement. "You're Athena!" She called out, I looked at her incredulously until Hermes showed the slip. My name was clearly written on it in black ink, I reconised the untidy scrawl belonging to Ares. So I snatched the slip from Hermes and ripped it up, to Ares's laughter, then I turned it to confetti and threw it over Hermes, who's smile lessened slightly as the paper rained down on him.
"Aphrodite's turn." Hermes said as he walked to his throne, shaking paper from himself along the way.
"I don't want to play any more." Aphrodite whined before flashing out of the throne room.
"Yeah, we've been at this forever." Apollo agreed before also flashing out.
"I have duties to return to." Hermes added as he followed.
"I generally just don't like you people." Hades said before shadow-travelling away.
"I have work to do." I said before walking out of the throne room.
"Athena!" I turned back surprised as Poseidon called for me, I raised an eyebrow at him. "I'll pick you up at six." I turned around confused.
"Six, what does he need to pick me up at six for?" I mouthed to myself as I left the throne room, even more confused and slightly hopeful.
Yes, I did just place Poseidon and Athena up for a date, I am so proud of it.
Ares: This chapter is far too mushy.
Me: Good, that means you're being tortured, sucka.
Ares: HELP ME HELP ME.
Me: So long people and just so you know, I have the chapter written to be posted next SUNDAY, titled: Picking Apart Athena's Brain, where some gods get a little insight on Athena's mind and her mother.
