no, I haven't heard anything kinda what I'm worried about? she ditched our movie night in Eddie's Horizon hasn't mind-messaged me or whatever back when I asked why
[ This is where Percy will make his own attempt to reach out through mind-messaging, with the kind of stupid joke that would definitely rile Clarisse up into a response, no matter what she was up to.
And when there's nothing but silence ... ]
Okay, so ... consider me worried too. The joke I just made would have had her rolling her eyes and then sending me a punch I could feel through this messaging thing but all I got is radio silence too.
Does this kinda thing happen a lot? People just disappear?
[ steve does wait, though part of him already knows the answer. knows it as well as he knows anything else. a cold weight, a solid curl in his gut. he hates how familiar it is, how he knows without knowing.
and then when percy's handwriting returns, steve slows to a stop. ]
kind of, yeah
I can check with someone else I know in Cadens just to make sure.
[ oh yeah, nothing at all to get worried about. that's absolutely why steve actually waits for a little bit before he's able to actually respond. ]
that's what they say, yeah. they just go home to the moment they were in before they got pulled. there's no real way for us to know. but yeah. everyone kind of assumes that.
It's a good thing that she's back home and everything's exactly the way it was?
[ He will not be thinking about the 'no real way for us to know' part because that bums him out and worries him, and that could lead to an irrational and out-of-character (but also totally in-character) meltdown. ]
Well, it's not great back home but at least Clarisse knows exactly what she's gotta do. I think she'd feel more in her element there than she ever did here.
[ Even though she's got friends here, she's got friends back home too. And family. ]
But it does suck for the rest of us, yeah. If she really did leave, I'm sorry.
[ and that... kind of sucks, doesn't it. steve almost doesn't know what to say to that before he just kind of pushes through.
there really isn't anything he can say. percy (and annabeth) knew clarisse a lot better, and for a long longer. they'd know more than him. ]
it's whatever, man it happens a lot more than you'd think
[ and with that, steve's got other people he needs to check in with, so he'll probably leave it there unless percy really wants to keep talking about it all. ]

Maybe she's just working out really really hard at the gym or something.
But like if she is gone, she's just back home, right? Like, nothing bad's gonna happen to her or anything?
