salt and sea

— i have seafoam in my veins, i understand the language of the waves ❞ l u c a s ; (송대양) 21, a son of triton, named after the ocean. new athens

“I’m mostly wondering how I’ve been swimming here for half an hour and– oh.” Ira stopped abruptly, nearly forgetting to keep his limbs moving so he wouldn’t drown. “Teleporting yourself. Through water. Okay then.”

Of course, Ira’s immediate reaction was keen interest: if that guy had water-induced powers, then he had to be like him, one way or another. Lost in his calculations, he took a little while to register the intruder’s question. “What? Oh, um, yeah, wait a sec.” That guy was lucky the grandson of Thetis usually brought two sets of clothes with him when he went swimming: after getting his only one stolen or hidden by the idiots in his neighbourhood, he had learned to take his precautions. And since he trusted the people here as much as he did back there…

Hauling himself out of the water and on shore, he grabbed his backpack, retrieving a large towel he used to make quick work of the water still clinging to him. “Are you taller than me or same height?” he asked as he looked back at the other guy, trying to gauge whether he beat Ira’s own five feet and eight inches.

The son of Triton sat up to remove the latex swimming cap that clung tightly to his head, along with his pair of black goggles, revealing impressions around his eyes and his temples where the goggles used to be. “I’m almost just as baffled as you are,” he said as his breath began to steady.

Although it wouldn’t be the first time that Lucas has teleported through water, it was the first time he had done it out of sheer will and somehow, luck. Doing so by accident left him more confused than awestruck; this time around was the exact opposite. Having someone to talk about it with felt even better. That way, he knew he wasn't dreaming. "I believe I wasn't able to catch your name," he said, "but thank you, thank you so much." Lucas gave him a small nod, a cultural custom he couldn't shake off no matter the location.

Hearing that the guy he just met had a set of clothes to lend him made Lucas release a sigh of relief. “I’m a hundred and eighty-eight centimeters,” he replied, quietly calculating conversions in his mind, “which is, about six feet and two inches. But don’t worry about it, I’ll take any size you have for now. It’s better than nothing.”

             “of course i have. i’m not uncultured. it’s just that i don’t think people need to argue about it, now, do they?”

Lucas frowned, confused. “Who’s arguing about it?”

stavrodromi:

   ❝ A nymph. ❞ she found herself repeating, still looking a little tense at the sight she just saw. ❝ I’m at a summer camp rumoured to hoard child soldiers. Of course there would be woodland nymphs. Okay, I got this. ❞  

“Child soldiers? Where have you heard that from?” Lucas laughed again. “You’re going to get the hang of things soon so don’t worry!”

“This is literally the only thing I see you do. Apart from the Fourth of July celebrations.” Orlando stated factually, chuckling as well. “Do you even do anything else aside from, well, swimming?”

“I sleep a lot, eat a lot, go out a lot,” he explained. “I like observing people. I like staying in the woods. Lately, I’ve also been trying to discover more powers and use more weapons.” Lucas shrugged.

stavrodromi:

     Marcellina made a small surprised noise at the back of her throat, immediately grabbing the arm of the person nearest to her. ❝ — I do not mean to alarm you but… I think that person just turned into a tree.❞

Lucas was surprised at the sudden pull. He squinted to where the girl was looking at, and managed to let out a chuckle. “It’s fine, you probably just saw a nymph.”

@deepoceansong·

   “Look, I know you’re a son of Triton and all — but honestly, why do every time I see you, you’re swimming? I am seriously thinking that you had your cabin built under that lake, if anything.”

“That’s not the only thing I do, but timing is strange. That’s probably the only thing you see me do,” he laughed. “But it’s fine, I guess. It’s ‘cause I tend to train everyday.”

            “i guess you’re right. not all mortals are as well-read as they should be.” the girl huffs out a sigh. “what’s so wonderful about spiderman anyway?”

“Have you never seen a Spiderman movie or read one of his comics before? I’m asking innocently, is all.”

[deepoceansong-blog]

ofnightingcles:

           “that’s great and all but no one even talks about arachne in their discussions.” maggie furrows her brows, seemingly upset by the whole thing. “is it because she’s a woman?”

“I guess that’s ‘cause not a lot of mortals know of Arachne. ‘Arachnid’ may be a word but most mortals, I assume, have no idea where it came from.”

[deepoceansong-blog]

ofnightingcles:

             “honestly, why are people continuously arguing about who the better spiderman is? arachne is offended.”

“They’re all pretty good to me,” he shrugged.

Being the only person occupying space in the Triton cabin, Lucas did feel lonely from time to time. Of course, there was a fine line between being alone and being lonely but sometimes both ideas coexist. Since he got to camp, he was able to at least decorate the walls to his liking, his aesthetic seeping into all four of them -- the silver lining to being the only offspring of Triton in New Athens thus far, since the Recall. The place looked even emptier and lonelier without a bunch of flowers in the flower vase above his side table.

Keeping all this in mind, he remembered that he was still at the other camp, apparently called New Rome or Camp Jupiter -- the result of him teleporting through the lake at New Athens. So while he was drained and was still at it, the boy then decided to pick a few flowers in the woods, hoping that the nymphs and the children of Demeter or Ceres would grant his request to do so. There were hectares of flower species in camp anyway.

“The fuck?” Ira had been certain there was no one else in the lake, for the good and simple reason that those people hardly ever approached it, let alone go for a swim. But there came another guy, emerging from the water like he had been holding his breath for longer than Ira had been there - which ought to be a solid half hour by then, meaning that either he simply hadn’t noticed the dude, or… “Okay, who the hell are you and how did you get here?”

Lucas was surprised to see a male figure by the lake approaching him. He crawled onto land and splayed himself on the ground, feeling drained and heavy. “That’s not a very nice way of talking to someone, now is it?,” he chuckled. “It’s fine though, I understand. I probably look like an intruder to you, which wasn’t my intention at all.”

A mixture of sweat and water ran in rivulets down his body as he panted for air. “I’m Lucas, by the way, and I believe I just teleport myself through water to get here,” he replied with a smile. “Too soon but, do you have extra clothes I could borrow?”

“Okay, let’s do this,” the son of Triton whispered to himself as he plunged into the lake to quench the scorching heat of that afternoon. He had been contemplating on a recent experience of his that somehow still did not entirely make sense yet. He wasn’t even sure if it had occurred at all or if everything was a dream. While getting a few freestyle laps in, his heart began to race, and so did his mind. He concentrated on being somewhere else, specifically that other camp that looked so much like the one he now called home.

Lucas felt a heightened sense of adrenaline, the same one he felt the first time he accidentally traveled underwater. During that time, he dismissed that sensation as something that was normal when he hasn’t trained rigorously in so long. As soon as he lifted his head above the water, he was again away from the familiar confines of New Athens. “Whoa,” he panted, completely in awe with his body tingling. Until he remembered that he forgot to bring spare clothes to change into.

“Maybe we’re the firework experts and we just never knew it. Nice too meet you, I’m Natalie.”

“I don’t think talking so much about fireworks constitutes to us being experts on them,” he laughs. “Nice to meet you, too!

“From a third person point of view this whole place seems weird. Fireworks is probably quite normal.”

“I guess that depends on who the third person is, really. Fireworks are normal but a very engaged conversation about it might not be. I’m Lucas, by the way.”
