[Y'know after seeing so many people stumble in Dean thought he'd be used to how comfortably they all seem to adapt, but he's not. It's a sad day when he's the most normal person here. The guy using an alias that spends all his time tracking down things that could easily take his head off shouldn't be the one that's rationalizing the whole thing, but every time he has to address the skepticism people are freaking out.

He's had his fill, and he's on his way out nursing a full flask (thanks you sparkly son'sa'bitches at least you're good for something) when he narrowly dodges someone that actually looks disoriented for a change. That's not it though, she's favoring one side, he's spent too much time with similar blows and damage not to notice.]

Welcome to the land of gum drops and lollipops.

[What else could he say? For someone that's not expecting it and not taking it in stride the place is a hell of a lot to swallow. He knows that much.] Maybe you should plant your ass while I go get some ice.

[ annabeth's seen quite a lot in her seventeen years. from minotaurs, to standing at the feet of the gods at olympus, there's not a whole lot that can take her by surprise. she just recently (as far as her memory is concerned) finished outwitting arachne, a giant spider goddess, and had fallen into a pit to tartarus.

and yet here she stands, at the door to a large feast, a party, and she's having a hard time putting two and two together.

the sound of someone's voice has her tensing, slightly, feeling vulnerable without a dagger at her side but unsure if she'd be able to flee. they had mentioned something about healing her ankle but the memory is still there, still fresh. she eyes the man as he approaches. funny. ]

Don't- [ annabeth hadn't even noticed she'd been limping, but it makes sense. ] I'm fine. Where are we?

[mulletrock]

This place?

[God, there was so much he can say about the Drabwurld and none of it was positive. Dean figured she didn't need that right now. Right now, she needed something close to a friend that could get her settled and give her some perspective.]

Uh run by fairies who want us to fight in their war. The digs aren't bad, if you go for that old-timey folklore shit.

[ while there might be a lot that annabeth wants to read into that question - things he's not saying, things this stranger is keeping from her - she just doesn't have the energy. instead, she waits, frowning when he finally gives the answer.

sorry, dean. what? ]

Fairies. [ she blinks, then gives him a questioning look. ] We were brought here by fairies?

[mulletrock]

That's the line they're feeding us.

[Dean didn't buy into it, he thought the whole thing was a load of crap, but saying that isn't gonna make her feel better. He's gotta stick to this whole mediator ruse he's playing now.]

I still think you should rest that ankle.

[oikodomae]

I'll be fine, I heal quickly.

[ plus: more important things. ]

Who are they? The people from the meeting? They're fairies?

[mulletrock]

That's what everyone seems to think. They've got the juice to bring us here and then they can't fight their own war. Sounds like a load of crap but way too many people are buying in.
