[ With no introduction... ]

back home, one of the main things I used to do was train people to control their abilities - i've spent quite a number of years teaching myself control through various techniques, as it's pretty essential for me to keep things in check.

in a bid to feel useful to the community, interest check:

anyone want training sessions? whether you have abilities you're struggling with, or are just looking to get some more control over yourself, I can help.

[Or at least, try to. ]

there's three of us demigods.
two of us are greek, the other is norse
and like... three gods.
all norse: thor, and two lokis

[tanker]

and here I thought my world and its mutants was enough of a mess

do you mingle with humans? do they know you exist, other than in a religious sense?

[deathkid]

not really.
i know a few mortals, but i tend to stick to camp
where we train and are kept safe from monsters

[tanker]

a camp
a camp for demigods?

[ Not that different from the Underground. ]

[deathkid]

you've got it
there are two.
one for greek demigods
and one for roman demigods.
both are hidden from mortals.

[tanker]

the hiding thing, can it be done for human structures, too? we had a mutant in our group for a while that could project images and make us invisible, but it's never been a sustainable solution

[deathkid]

that's a good question.
the barrier around camp halfblood is sustained by the mist
as well as a special tree planted by zeus.
i think that if we had someone who could manipulate the mist
well enough, they could hide human structures for you.

that's assuming there are demigods in your world.
if there are, i wouldn't be surprised they'd want to work with you

[tanker]

I have no idea, obviously. Been too busy looking at what we were going to do the next day to even contemplate long term solutions, let alone turning to mythology

this place, here, is so different from home, i don't know if i'll ever get used to it.


out of curiosity, why would demigods want to work with us? they like desperate causes?

[deathkid]

i know what you mean.
when i'm on a quest, it's totally by the seat of my pants
there's hardly any time to stop and think
which makes it nice when i live at the end and have camp to go to

we'd help because
well
you're not so different.
if we didn't have a safe place, we'd be persecuted too
besides, helping people is kinda a thing we do
saving the world and all that.

[tanker]

our goal isn't so much about saving the world than just gaining some proper rights, be allowed to live the same way humans do, without prejudice

i say 'just', but back home, it's practically a war, between us and those who want to see us all rot in detention centers.

or worse.

[deathkid]

man, that sucks.
no wonder you're trying to find a safe place.

[tanker]

let's hope this place is it
