[Image description: Blurry image of a probably-human figure in murky water taken from the side. They appear to have dark hair and are surrounded by a school of silver fish. They are wearing close-fitting dark clothing, presumably a wetsuit. There is no visible breathing apparatus or other diving gear. They might be male? There is no way to identify the person in the picture.]

TheBrineyDeep: You're free diving?
The10thWalker: I may be showing my age, but is anyone else getting "An octopus stole my camera" vibes?
Anakin_Oceanswimmer: At least say what brand/thickness wetsuit you're using
-Son_of_Neptune Anakin_Oceanswimmer: My dad gave it to me. I think the palace tailors made it?
-Anakin_Oceanswimmer: wtf?!

"I still think you cheated," Melody said as they gathered their stuff after class ended.
"I followed the instructions," Percy said. "I'm not—"
"—putting your face on the internet. I get it. Hero of Olympus, Praetor of Rome, Teenage Terrorist."
"Oh God, tell me you didn't actually listen to any of that shit that came up when I searched for myself."
"Of course I did. I needed a good banana bar recipe."
"Ugh, I hate you."
"There, there." Melody patted his shoulder in mock sympathy. Do you have plans for the big Halloween project?"
"Now that I have a camera that can handle the depths, I do. There a lot of weird looking fish in the deep sea. You?"
"Making spooky noises on my various instruments. Are you sure yours passes for mortal safe?"
"I originally wanted to post a picture of a sea monster, but Annabeth said it would be a bad idea." He grinned. "No one believes I actually talk to the fish; it'll be fine."
"Save the sea monster for April fools. Lunch at Vinny's?"
"Are you buying?"
"You're the one with the Praetor's pension, cheapskate. Some of us have instruments to buy and maintain."
"I see how it is. You're only asking me to lunch to pick my pocket. Are you sure you're not a Hermes kid?"
"I'm sorry, who took a picture of your busted camera when no one else on campus would let you touch theirs? And who assured you that Telcom doesn't actually hate you and would give you an alternate assignment when you ran into technical difficulties? And who—"
"Fine!" Percy interrupted. "You win. You saved my podex. The least I can do is buy you lunch."
"I'm glad you decided to be reasonable."
"Have you met your brother Will Solice? You're as pushy as he is."
"I will take that as the compliment it is."
A/N: I was up way too late last night outlining the sequel. What am I getting myself into?
