Prompt from The Avian-Olympian: Percy eating sushi
(To PandaPillowPet: Yeeeep. Pretty much.)
It begins with Percy mumbling, "I don't get why it's so weird that I've never eaten sushi..."
"Are you kidding me?! It is so weird! I need to document you eating it for the first time! Hey Grover, Thalia, c'mere. Explain to Percy why it's so important that he eats some sushi."
"Well, I've never had it..." Grover said cautiously. Annabeth snorted.
"That's different. You're part goat. Eating tin cans and chip bags is normal for you."
"You don't have to say it so harshly," Grover whimpered.
Thalia made a sound of disdain. "You need to eat sushi, Percy. It's something most twelve year olds eat. You're what, seventeen? And you've never eaten sushi?"
"Well it's not like we had a jar in my kitchen that said 'Sushi Money,' you know."
There was a bit of silence, then Percy said, "You guys didn't actually have one of those, did you?"
"Pfff, no..."
"THALIA."
"No. I really didn't, swear to the big guy upstairs."
"Oh well this isn't really a time to bring up religion–"
Thalia scoffed. "I meant my dad."
"Ah."
"Hey." It was an unknown voice, from a guy around thirteen. "I got the sushi, Annabeth."
"Oh, thanks, Jeff. I guess I can look over the incident from last week now."
Grover whispered, "Incident? As in the chimera incident?"
"Ssh. Okay, Percy, you need to close your eyes and prepare yourself."
"It's just a California roll." Silence, a few appreciative Mmm's, and a little squealing, hopefully just from Annabeth.
"Y'know, that's actually really good."
"Right?" Thalia said. "And to think all it is, is fish and rice–"
"Wait, what? This is made from what?"
"It's made from fish and rice..."
"WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME THIS? I'm related to fish! I just– I just ate–AAH!"
"Well, I didn't expect is first time trying sushi would end in him hysterically running away."
