My plans? For when I get back? [That slight cagey-ness doesn't go unnoticed] More investigation with what you've told me. There doesn't seem a lot more I can do right now.

[Though she is hoping something will yield - maybe a piece of information would make more sense now, potentially lead to something that would help everyone stuck here.]

[Spy. Eva wants her to spy on the Emperor. She hates the idea of it; it's treacherous, it's dishonest, it cost Silena her life.]

[But if the Emperor is truly as Eva describes - and if Annabeth's being honest with herself, the story fills in all the blank, secretive spots and makes sense. And she fights for no cause she doesn't believe in.]


What happens if she does get taken down?

[Annabeth considers herself one of the good guys. But she's a pragmatist. Things aren't always black and white. Life on the turtle has been far too stagnant. Regardless of the honesty in potentially agreeing to this, having the option to pass along information may end up working in everyone's favor.]

[It almost seems too easy a solution. And Annabeth highly doubts removing the Emperor from power would be easy or result in a clean shift. The vacuum sure to follow will be chaotic. But it's the first real possible opportunity to get home. She has to take a chance. And if something does go horribly wrong, she can fix it. She's Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena and Hero of Olympus.]

Something tells me Tu Vishan would like to go free, too.

[She pauses again. To say no and refuse this offer is a dead end. To say yes opens up potential. She has to take it. And Eva's been a lot more helpful than Eshai at this point. She can get back to the turtle and try to further confirm Eva's stories, keeping this window unlocked in the process.]

Okay. I'll help you. But how are we supposed to communicate?

[She catches it with ease, but sort of... stares at it. Because how do communicate with an hourglass.]

And what kind of trick is there to it?

That's all? I mean, besides doing so obviously in a place I can't be overheard. Is it just some kind of audio vocal means?

[A pause.] Clever though. It just looks like jewelry.

[She smiles a little bit herself.] Mostly thinking out loud.

[She holds it up, giving it a closer look.] Is that real fire inside?

Like in the fire sector.

[She gives it a spin, watching it dangle from the chain.] What kind of things are you looking to know?

[She nods, looks again at the fire inside. It really does look like something she could have picked up from a fire sector vendor somewhere.]

Okay. Easy enough. [That gives her time to sit down and go over everything, presumably, once she gets back to the turtle, before anything else should happen.] Is Evandau like her? Older than he looks?

[A nod. She'll poke around herself about it later, if she can.]

[But then she goes quiet for a moment. She needs time to sit and analyze everything she's heard from Eva, what she's agreed to do. Trying to do so right now while carrying on a conversation isn't working well.]


You said you can give me something from home? What if there's... not really anything you want or need? [Since she's found her computer, and she's got her knife and cap.] You can't bring people, right?

[Not that she's sure she could willingly ask Eva to bring someone here. But it's a question worth asking.]

[She shakes her head.] I wouldn't have wanted you to regardless.

[It's an expression Annabeth understands all too well.] I don't suppose I could... check on someone, could I?

[There's a few seconds of a pause before she answers.]

His name is Percy Jackson. I hadn't seen him in six months, and that was when I first got pulled to this place. Could I just... see if he's okay?

[She's trying not to get too hopeful, that Eva can do this. She doesn't want to be disappointed.]

[There are so many things she knows about Percy. The first thing that comes to mind is his Achilles heel, so to speak. Her. The spot on his back. But she can't share something like that with a complete stranger.]

Our first kiss was in the middle of a volcano about to explode. [She'd never told anyone that. She doesn't think Percy has either. Her fingertips touch the beads around her neck.] He's touched these before. Does that count? And I have a hat - he's worn it. Which would be better?
