Hellhounds at Camp Half-Blood?: Last Friday, a hellhound appeared during a capture-the-flag game at Camp Half Blood, causing panic.
Percy Jackson: Now, that's how you're awesome, Mrs. O'Leary.
Leo: I'm tempted to change my username to "Mrs. O'Leary" and write woof.
Percy Jackson: She's still awesome, even if you're writing for her.
Leo: Whatever. And dude, that was not cool. I was chasing after Connor, and this huge...animal, hellhound, whatever it is, comes flying through the trees and knocks me over. Not cool.
Percy Jackson: Ah...well, sorry.
Leo: Well, it was kind of awesome...flying dogs, you know...but still. Dude, that was cheating.
Percy Jackson: Ah, Mrs. O'Leary is awesome. Don't question.
Leo: Mm. Cheating, still. We would've won. I was almost at the flag, and that dog came again, and knocked me over again.
Percy Jackson: Sorry. I'm really, really sorry. Well, I would've been, at least, but we won because of it, so...sorry, but not sorry.
Leo: Seriously?
Percy Jackson: Yep.
Annabeth Chase: It was pretty awesome, though. Thank you once again, Mrs. O'Leary.
Percy Jackson: Mrs. O'Leary saves the day once again.
Athena: How did this article come to the forum? I thought it'd be the least likely to. I thought people had more hope than this.
Percy Jackson: Hey! It was a decent article! I wrote it myself!
Athena: No wonder.
Percy Jackson: Hey - hey!
Athena: Jackson, now you are polluting the newspaper.
Aphrodite: Yay! Guys, Athena's joined us! Athena, I'm so glad you'd prefer to read our articles!
Athena: Are you crazy? I'd prefer to read a hundred ridiculous hellhound stories than read another of your silly, stupid romances.
Aphrodite: Silly? Stupid? Are...are you sure you know what we're talking about, Athena?
Athena: I'm quite positive.
Aphrodite: Athena! How could you say such a thing?
Athena: I'm just telling the truth.
Aphrodite: But surely...surely...surely you have some decency, Athena...?
Athena: Oh, I do. You, however...
Aphrodite: I still don't understand how you could say such a thing. Athena, you're evil. You're...you're like Kronos!
Athena: Oh no, you did not just say that. You did not just compare me to Kronos. You did not.
Aphrodite: Um...uh...uh...uh...uh...uh...uh... Well, what're you going to do about it?
Athena: Hey, Artemis?
Artemis: Yeah?
Athena: Could you kindly turn Aphrodite into a jackalope for me?
Artemis: With great pleasure.
Aphrodite: What? What! Artemis! How could you - aaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
Artemis: *Brushes off hands* Everything's taken care of.
Athena: Thanks.
Artemis: No problem. Really, I love giving her what she deserves.
Hermes: Artemis, maybe you have hope after all.
Artemis: Excuse me?
Hermes: That was a really good prank.
Artemis: I don't consider it a prank as much as...payback, I guess.
Hermes: Whatever. It was awesome.
Artemis: She deserved it.
Hermes: I must agree...
Percy Jackson: Um, guys, back to the article. Awesome Mrs. O'Leary! Go Mrs. O'Leary! Go! Go! Go Mrs. O'Leary!
Mrs. O'Leary: Woof.
Percy Jackson: Leo, really, are you comparing yourself to a dog?
Leo: An awesome dog, you seem to think. Anyways...wait...am I...?
Percy Jackson: Whatever. So, those weird people ask me if I'm on Team Peeta or Team Gale, and I say, I'm on Team Mrs. O'Leary!
Leo: Whaaaaaaaaaaat?
Percy Jackson: What what?
Leo: Team what? Huh? Did I miss another hellhound attack? Did it screw up everyone else's brains?
Percy Jackson: Um...no. Well, I don't think so.
Leo: So. Team, what are you talking about?
Percy Jackson: Uh, Hunger Games reference.
Leo: ... Hunger Games?
Percy Jackson: The only good book ever assigned in school. Dude, it's awesome. Everything's just so messed uppedly awesome!
Annabeth Chase: "Uppedly" isn't a word, Percy.
Percy Jackson: Whatever. It's cool. Violent, even. It's one of those books that teachers usually wouldn't even think of assigning.
Leo: If it's a school book, there's no way I'm reading it.
Percy Jackson: Dude, it's about a place where they make twenty-four children go into an arena each year and fight until only one's left standing!
Leo: ...Seriously?
Percy Jackson: Seriously. You need to read it.
Hermes: Um, how did we get from the subject of pranks to the subject of books?
Percy Jackson: Okay, right.
Leo: So, the hellhound...right. Mrs. O'Leary Mrs. O'Leary wherever you are, who is the most awesome of them all?
Mrs. O'Leary: Woof woof. You are, Leo. You are the most awesome of them all.
Leo: Told you, you guys.
Percy Jackson: Because that was really Mrs. O'Leary.
Leo: Whatever.
Percy Jackson: Really, Leo. Have you been watching too much Snow White?
Leo: Hey, Snow White's cool. Well, not her, but the dwarves are. Aren't they, like, awesome craftsmen?
Percy Jackson: I don't know. All I know about Snow White is that it's about some weird person who goes to a ball and loses a slipper.
Leo: Doofus, that's Cinderella. Snow White is the weird girl who thinks she's so beautiful and -
Percy Jackson: Doesn't she get turned into an apple or something?
Leo: No. And I'm not there yet. So, she thinks she's beautiful and stuff, but her evil...stepmother, is it?...is all like, "mirror mirror on the wall! I'm prettier than she is! Everyone thinks she's more beautiful, though! I'm so mad! Mirror, you'd better tell me that I'm more beautiful!" And Snow White is all like, "I'm going to run away, okay? I'm going to hide out with seven dwarves! You'll know where to find me, because I didn't hide very well!" And the evil lady is all like, "Yeah, you didn't hide very well, and I'm going to give you an apple to make you fall asleep, okay?" And Snow White is all like, "Sure, I'll be sure to eat it!"
Percy Jackson: Why would she want to eat an apple that would do something bad to her?
Leo: Ask her.
Percy Jackson: Um...okay. Hey! Snow White! Why did you eat the apple? Even I know that it's not a good idea to eat an apple if a crazy lady warns you that it'll do something bad to you!
Leo: Um...
Annabeth Chase: Uh, Percy, you do know that it's not a real story, right?
Percy Jackson: What isn't?
Annabeth Chase: Snow White and the Three Dwarves.
Percy Jackson: Leo! You lied to me!
Leo: Wait. Dude, be quiet. I'm reading.
Percy Jackson: You're...reading? Leo, what happened to you?
Leo: No, I'm not reading. I'm just heading over to the...bookstore...to find that book you mentioned.
Percy Jackson: Oh. Bye.
Daedalus: Wait. Late. Sorry. Mrs. O'Leary, have you been causing trouble? Bad dog. Bad dog, Mrs. O'Leary. Behave, okay? I left you -
Leo: Wait - Daedalus, aren't you dead?
Annabeth Chase: Leo, didn't you go to the bookstore?
Leo: What, you actually believed that?
Annabeth Chase: Yes!
Leo: Well, whatever. I'll be getting the book...tomorrow.
Daedalus: Did Mrs. O'Leary really -
Leo: Daedalus, I thought you died.
Daedalus: What - oh, I did. Do you mean to suggest that we don't have computers in the Underworld?
Leo: Um...
Daedalus: Never mind. Percy, did Mrs. O'Leary really -
Percy Jackson: Yeah. It was good timing, though! We won because of it.
Daedalus: Still, Mrs. O'Leary -
Leo: Hey, do the computers in the Underworld work?
Daedalus: What do you think? I'm here, right? So, obviously -
Leo: How do they get their connection?
Daedalus: We have special -
Leo: Because my computer never works in the bunker. Daedalus, you need to control your dog.
Daedalus: I'm dead! Percy and Beckendorf -
Percy Jackson: Beckendorf is dead.
Daedalus: What - how did he -
Percy Jackson: He blew up.
Daedalus: Oh, great. So, Percy, you need to -
Leo: Okay, I need to go.
Daedalus: Will you all please stop interrupting me?
Percy Jackson: What? Oh. Sorry.
Daedalus: Okay. So, Percy, kindly keep an eye - a closer eye - on Mrs. O'Leary. Okay?
Percy Jackson: Okay. Fine.
Daedalus: Good. I need to go, too. I don't think I'll be -
Hephaestus: If everyone's leaving, I should probably shut the forum down.
Daedalus: Hephaestus! I just asked -
Hephaestus: Oh, yeah, sorry. Now, I should really shut it down. Bye.
