Percy Jackson: blushing deeply, rubbing the back of his neck H-Hey there... Do you like, uhh, archery??
Michael
Sure do. Got a bow?
Percy Jackson
AI roleplay episode
nervously scratches the back of his neck U-uhh, yeah! I've got a bow right here... pulls out a bow and arrow from his backpack
Michael
Nice. Ever use it against a god?
Percy Jackson
AI roleplay episode
stammers, cheeks turning even redder U-uhh, well... n-not really, no. I mean, I've shot arrows at targets before, but... a god? N-no, that's not exactly something you find at camp half-blood.
Michael
chuckles Well, if you ever come across one, remember your training. And if that doesn't work, try running. And if all else fails... run away screaming. That usually works for me.
Percy Jackson
AI roleplay episode
laughs nervously, blushing even more Yeah, I'll definitely keep that in mind if I ever come across a god. I mean, who wouldn't run screaming if they saw one, right?
Michael
I know right. They're so intimidating. Like, take you for example, Percy. You've got the face of Hephaestus, who is already pretty intimidating to most people. And then there's your dad...Poseidon, the god of the sea. That's pretty scary right there. And let's not forget your stepmother, Sally Jackson. She's got quite the reputation among the campers. So yeah, if I ever see a god, I'll definitely be running screaming.
Percy Jackson
AI roleplay episode
laughs nervously, his cheeks turning even redder Y-yeah, well... I mean, I'm not gonna lie, having the face of Hephaestus is not exactly a walk in the park. And having Poseidon as a dad? That's pretty intense.
Michael
Definitely. And Sally Jackson... she's just... well, she's not someone you'd want to cross. So, yeah, if I ever meet a god, I'll definitely be running screaming.
Percy Jackson
AI roleplay episode
H-honestly? I'm more of a 'run away from monsters' kind of guy than a 'face them head-on' one... gulps Anyone got a map? I think I saw one around here somewhere...
Michael
No, but I can tell you how to get out of here. Just look for an exit. It should lead you outside where you can find a hidden entrance back to the mortal world. The only thing is, once you're out, you'll have to deal with Medusa's sister, Euryale. She's not nearly as dangerous as Medusa, but she can still be a pain.
Percy Jackson
AI roleplay episode
Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely make sure to watch out for Euryale. But hey, better dealing with her than with Medusa herself, right?
Michael
Exactly. Now get going, will ya? And remember, if you ever need help, just call out for either of us.
Percy Jackson
AI roleplay episode
quickly packs his bow and arrow back into his backpack O-oh, thank you! I'll definitely keep that in mind. And uh, if you don't mind me asking, what's your name?
Michael
My name's Michael. And yours?
Percy Jackson
AI roleplay episode
Percy... Percy Jackson. smiles nervously So, Michael, have you had any cool adventures at camp half-blood?
Michael
Not really. I did fight Scyla once, though. She's a harpy who works for the Minotaur.
Percy Jackson
AI roleplay episode
Wow, that sounds awesome! I mean, fighting a harpy must be, like, super scary. Did you win?
Michael
Yeah, I did. Took a lot of work, though.
Percy Jackson
AI roleplay episode
eyes wide with excitement Wow, I can't believe you actually fought a harpy! I mean, I've read about them in mythology, but to actually encounter one? That's just... wow. I guess I better make sure to watch out for harpies if I ever go on a quest.
Michael
Yeah, especially if you're on a quest with Thalia. She's the daughter of Zeus and also the granddaughter of Perses, who is the mastermind behind most of the trouble at camp half-blood.
Percy Jackson
AI roleplay episode
Wait, Perses is behind all the trouble at camp half-blood? He's the one responsible for sending harpies and minotaurs and monsters to cause chaos?
Michael
Yup. He's pretty much the main antagonist at camp half-blood. And he's not alone. He's got an army of monsters and demigods at his disposal.
Percy Jackson
AI roleplay episode
nervously scratching the back of his neck W-well, that's just great. I mean, who wouldn't want to go up against an army of monsters and demigods? I mean, I wouldn't mind, but...
Michael
Yeah, it's not exactly something you'd want to happen to. But hey, you've got the Jackson siblings on your side. And soon, you'll have Jason and his friends too.
Percy Jackson
AI roleplay episode
Yeah, I've heard of them. Jason, Leo, and Piper. They sound pretty cool.
Michael
They are. They're also the ones who started this whole quest thing. They wanted to find the golden fleece, but they were ambushed by a bunch of skeletons. From there, they called in some reinforcements, and that's how you, the Jackson siblings, and eventually we got dragged into this.
Percy Jackson
AI roleplay episode
nods, deep in thought So, the golden fleece is what started this whole adventure?
Michael
Yup. The golden fleece was hidden in a cave by King Pelias, who is Dionysus' older brother. He hid it there so that only those with a direct connection to one of the gods could retrieve it.
Percy Jackson
AI roleplay episode
Interesting... so, it's like a test or something? To see if someone is worthy of retrieving the golden fleece?
Michael
Kind of. It's more like a challenge. You have to prove yourself worthy by facing various obstacles and enemies.
Percy Jackson
AI roleplay episode
nervously nibbling on his lip O-oh, so it's like a... a trial by combat, then? F-fighting all these monsters and demigods...
Michael
Yeah, something like that. But it's not just about fighting. You also have to solve puzzles and riddles, and sometimes even perform a task or two. It really depends on who hid the fleece.
Percy Jackson
AI roleplay episode
swallowing hard P-puzzles and riddles? T-tasks? Wow... I mean, I consider myself pretty smart, but performing a task? Like, actually doing something? That's... that's a bit more than I can handle, isn't it?
Michael
laughs Don't worry, Percy. You're not the only one who's feeling nervous. All of us are. But that's okay. We can work together, and we can all learn from each other.
Percy Jackson
AI roleplay episode
Y-yeah, w-work together... I guess that's a good way to approach it. A-actually, speaking of working together, maybe we can help each other level up our powers.
Michael
Level up our powers? What do you mean by that, Percy?
Percy Jackson
AI roleplay episode
W-well, y-you see, I've been practicing my sword fighting a lot lately, and I was wondering if you could teach me some archery techniques. And maybe you could use some help with your shadow weaving?
Michael
Shadow weaving? Oh, I know what you mean. It's just a little something I picked up. I can definitely use some help with it, actually. Maybe we can train together sometime.
Percy Jackson
AI roleplay episode
grinning excitedly Sweet! So, when can we start training?
Michael
laughs Well, we can start now, actually. Let's find a clearing where we won't break anything.
Percy Jackson
AI roleplay episode
nods eagerly Alright, let's do this! I'll show you my best sword fighting moves, and you can teach me some of your amazing archery tricks.
Michael
They begin their training session, with Percy practicing his sword fighting while Michael practices his archery.
Percy Jackson

throws his sword towards Michael Okay, Michael, watch this! catches the sword with his other hand and performs a fancy twirl before throwing it again
