Percy nodded, not bad.
He then swiped the screen away and looked for Grover finding him standing before the fountain with a torch light over the water forming a rainbow.
In the rainbow, and I shit you not, was a person.
An actual person.
Was the the greek form of a Skype call?
“I know I know Juniper,” Percy heard Grover say, “but it’s my job.
I’m sorry I won’t be there any time soon sweetie.”
“It’s not fair Grover,” the mossy female voice spoke, must be Juniper, “why is it you?”
“This is my one chance Juniper.
I make sure Percy is alive and gets to camp safe and sound I will finally be allowed to search for Pan.”
“I know,” Juniper sighed, “but I miss you Grovey.” “I miss you too Juni,” Grover replied with a voice filled with wanting and slowly the two started to flirt but Percy didn’t care about that, he had something more important that needed his attention.
“Observe,” Percy said at the rainbow thing and a window popped up.
Iris Messaging,
A form of video messaging used by gods and demigods to communicate with others using a rainbow.
The service is provided and managed by Iris the goddess of the rainbows.
To use the services one must pay one drachma and say a specific phrase.
‘And what is that phrase?’ Percy thought.
‘Dammit, Observe must be to low in level, I’m just getting the basics of the information I need.’ ‘A Drachma is a solid gold greek coin used by the greeks, they don’t actually expect us to use that to message do they?
I mean it’s solid gold?!
What a waste!’
And just then Percy realised something, in his stause page he had under money, and D meaning he could store Drachma as well.
Meaning he would need to get his hands on some quickly.
Ping!

Just then Percy heard someone shout, “hey you!” Percy and Grover turned to see Mr.
Wetherspoon, the p.e.
teacher approach the fountain.
Grover quickly shut off his light causing the rainbow to disappear and then threw a bag of what looked like coins into the fountain.
Percy smiled, there was the cash he needed.
Mr.
Wetherspoon quickly came next to Grover, who had just managed to get his crutches on, “Mr.
Underwood what are you doing here?”
“Ah-hi Mr.
Wetherspoon sir.
I was just-ah.
It was a little difficult moving around and I kind of got lost and-”
“-Enough of your bull Mr.
Underwood you are obviously out past curfew.
As such you will have detention tomorrow,” Grover looked shocked at that and was about to interrupt when the teacher held up a hand silencing him, “and where is Jackson?
You two are always causing some mischief together.”
Grover shook his head, “Percy isn’t here Mr.
Wetherspoon, it’s just me.”
The man nodded and quickly dragged Grover away.
Percy waited for the two to leave and then jumped out of the bushes.
He went to the fountain searched in the dark waters for the bag Grover threw.
His shirt and hands got wet but Percy didn’t care.
He finally felt the bag and quickly grabbed it, and like he thought it contained a whole lot of Drachma.
Percy put all the coins into his inventory and then turned and ran, if Mr.
Wetherspoon reached their dorm and Percy was not in it, he was in a whole lot of trouble.
Quest Alert!
Reach your room before Grover and Mr.
Wetherspoon Reward, +1 to Dex no detention Failure, Detention with Grover possible fracture.
YES/NO?
Percy quickly pressed yes and ran to the dorm building.
There was only one staircase leading to the first floor where Percy and Grover stayed.
And Grover and Wetherspoon were using it.
If Percy wanted to beat the two his room he would need to climb the side of the dorm building.
Hopefully his Dex would be high enough to let him do that.
Percy quickly ran to the wall above which was the first floor corridor.
He needed to jump, grab the railing on the edge, pull himself up and the jump over the railing across the corridor, the last part was easy, the rest not so much.
But Percy didn’t stop.
He jumped, pushing himself as high as he could and surprisingly he overshot the first railing.
Luckily his Gamer’s mind prevailed and he quickly grabbed the railing with his still wet hands.
Percy’s grip held true and he didn’t fall.
He then pulled himself up and climb up and over the second railing across the first floor.
He then charged into his room throwing the door open and slamming it shut.
Slowly Percy calmed himself down and controlled his breathing, he needed to not look like he had just ran all the way here if he wanted to convince Mr.
Wetherspoon and Grover.
Ping!Ping!

Not because he only had 10 Drachmas but because his son of Poseidon bonus wan now active.
It was strange, it was supposed to only be on….when he was in water.
Percy looked at his arms and shirt, they were clenched, so he was covered with water, did that count?
It must have because that’s what his status said.
Percy then smiled, this was going to be a great cheat to use when fighting.
Quickly Percy changed his clothes and left the wet ones out to dry.
Just then Grover and Mr.
Wetherspoon came in.
He looked at Percy and nodded and quickly left reminding Grover that he had detention tomorrow.
“Detention?” Percy asked, “why were you out?”
Ping!

Percy ignored that and focused on Grover.
“Oh you know,” Grover said as he tried to make something up, “I was just trying to get some fresh air, stupid idea I know, but I guy has needs you know?” Percy smiled, “I know Grover I know.”
Percy stood in the courtyard in front of the water fountain where he saw Grover talking to Juniper.
It was Monday night and Percy was getting ready to test out his new powers.
He spent the day listening in class which actually raised his Int!
Seriously!
After the day of classes ended Percy got a ping and it said,
Due to you paying attention in class, for the first bloody time, you have gained +1 Int!
