All of this must have been really amusing for her, Marisol thought.

The daughter of Apollo breathed in, regaining balance as she leaned forward. Her legs still felt like jelly, an embarassing reminder that she had become a bit too comfortable skipping training days after graduating from New Rome University.

"Okay, I didn't die," She said, wincing as she pulled the chair and sat down. "But I could have. What if she had a poisoned blade?"

Marisol shrugged, pouting at the mental image she could not deny. Turning into a dolphin would have been way funnier of a way to deal with the dracanae.

"Well that did win my team some points on Capture The Flag back in the day." She said. "But what would mortals even see through the mist?"

elizabeth slides an unopened water bottle towards her fellow demigod. if her brother's beloved glowstick boyfriend were here; she'd probably would get scolded for not drinking the water, herself. she should at least make a conscious effort to take his advice more seriously. will solace is the best healer at the camp. then again black coffee with the occasional shot of nectar worked for her too.

"i would've jumped into help you; depending on the type of poison her blade held. for example, if it was a similar poison to that of say, kampe's; you'll need divine intervention. or just start praying to thanatos that your death be quick." she muses, taking another sip of her coffee.

"they have points dur- never mind. for the mortals; hard to say. maybe instead of a dolphin; they see a motorcycle? i'm not sure. maybe it depends on their belief system or how open minded they are."

[lunarpalaces]

Marisol eyed the unopened water bottle ahead of her. Her first instinct was to order something herself, but Elizabeth had been so generous, so she could at least pay her for the water bottle later. Without a second thought, she opened the bottle and took a sip.

"I heard it's been done before." Marisol said, wiping the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand. She fought back a shiver as the other demigod's words reminded her of how close she'd been to large battles — and even to death. Straightening her posture, she continued. "Now if divine intervention was involved, I can't say for sure. I just know it took far more than a couple kids."

Taking another sip from the water bottle, she let out a chuckle.

"Maybe the motorcycle isn't so bad of a Mist trick."

[lunarpalaces]

If I set up a Dungeons & Dragons universe for Marisol, she'll probably be a bard with one level in druid so she can Wild Shape.

[lunarpalaces]

Marisol took a deep breath, following on the other demigod's instruction.

Letting her shoulders drop, she shook her head slowly.

"Not that I remember." She said. "See, I can shapeshift, and every year since I got here I learned I could shapeshift into a new animal."

There was a pause, memories of the past edition of Capture The Flag coming to mind.

"Austin told me to stay behind and watch the flag, shapeshift and surprise someone if necessary." She explained. "But then, I didn't hear anyone approaching for minutes and... I started singing."

[aglaophonosx-a]

Yeah, that part wasn't too crazy to Piper. She smiles encouragingly, and rubs the other girl's back as she sits back and listens to her story.

"Yeah, for sure. I have a friend who's like that, too."

The teenager doesn't want to push. It seems like it's a necessary thing, however, to nudge. She remembers what a fuzzy memory can feel like. The frustration. The panic. The doubt. What's real? What isn't?

"Okay, cool. So you, like, started to sing, and then began to glow? Kind of like Rapunzel in that Disney movie?"

[lunarpalaces]

Marisol nodded slowly. Though shapeshifting wasn't a very common feat, she knew of a few other demigods who could willingly change their appearance in some way. Transforming into an animal... that was trickier.

"Yeah, kind of..." Her voice was low when she glanced at Piper. For a split second she recalled another glimpse of that same afternoon: the tips of her fingers starting to glow white, and a short melody looping on the back of her mind.

"You know Will can shoot the light beams?" She asked, blinking away the memory. "It might look kind of like that. Except... I didn't shoot any light beams as far as camp gossip tells me. But it should... do something. Even if I don't know what that is."

(I got hit by a wave of nostalgia thinking about old muses)

ask meme starter for @essentiamortis: "i almost DIED back there , and you’re laughing?" in which Liz and Marisol meet as adults

Marisol panted, wiping sweat off her forehead as she glanced through the cafe windows. If not for the yelling and honking at the traffic jam outside, she'd almost think she had just imagined her encounter with the dracanae.

The laugh coming from the seat ahead of her brought her back to reality when she recognized the demigod.

"Really?" Marisol put her hands over the chair for support, Thankfully, they were not glowing white hot like a minute ago. "I almost DIED back there, and you're laughing?"

[essentiamortis]

elizabeth is almost doubled over in fits of laughter. chest almost down to her knees. the stack of paperwork spread out before her on the table ignored as she'd watched the battle between the dracaena and daughter of apollo. granted, she could have stepped in to assist in the fight, but it was a fair fight. one on one.

she's still trying to regain control of her laughter, almost gasping for breathes. "oh, please." the woman leans back in her chair, "you weren't anywhere near death." another chuckle and she's covering her mouth to help stiffen the laughs.

after a few minutes she's able to stop, "to be fair; it is humorous that you defeated a snake woman with light. although -" the daughter of hades leans forward, careful of the volume of her voice. she doesn't need nor want the attention of mere mortals glancing in their direction. "it would have been more hilarious if you turned into a dolphin as i was hoping you would."

[lunarpalaces]

All of this must have been really amusing for her, Marisol thought.

The daughter of Apollo breathed in, regaining balance as she leaned forward. Her legs still felt like jelly, an embarassing reminder that she had become a bit too comfortable skipping training days after graduating from New Rome University.

I've been off for a few days but I will be getting to the replies. Either later today or tomorrow.

[lunarpalaces]

@essentiamortis replied to your post “Help I am thinking of adding a canon riordanverse...”:

Canon and ocs is also best.

​I've played Canon riordanverse muses in the past but it's been a while so I feel a little self-conscious about it? If that makes sense.

[lunarpalaces]

Help I am thinking of adding a canon riordanverse muse to my list. I've played a few in the past so it's like hmmm do I really want to? should I just stick to OCs?

While making a draft for a new OC I got reminded of some old OCs... ouch the nostalgia.

"No, nothing like that."

Piper's voice is calming. Convincing.

"Everything is okay." She assures the other girl. Where was Will? Someone? Why was she put in charge of this situation? Piper licked at her lips, and offered a comforting hand to Marisol.

"Have you ever been able to glow, Marisol?"

[lunarpalaces]

Marisol took a deep breath, following on the other demigod's instruction.

Letting her shoulders drop, she shook her head slowly.

15 and 26 for the petalprompts mun asks <3

mun asks: sent by @floripire

15: what is your favourite part about using this platform to roleplay on?

The level of customization of character blogs/pages you can do on tumblr remains unmatched to me. It's like keeping a little scrapbook for your characters and every thread/interaction post is like a page in the book and the musings/visage posts are like cool stickers, you know?

I've been on the tumblr rpc since it's... beginner days I guess (granted that I took a really long hiatus) so I did make a lot of friends through plotting together. Most of them don't rp anymore but I'm still happy I got to meet them at that time.

26. what faceclaim do you wish you could play, and why haven't you used them/yet?

Oh there's a lot! Though recently I have been more mindful of which fcs I am choosing for my characters in light of recent current events. Off the top of my head I'd mention Nicola Coughlan because I'm obsessed with Bridgerton right now.
