[ because Percy will say what people want to hear when he cares about them, of course he goes to Annabeth, and of course this is the first message he tries the function on. ] Are we worried?
Yes. [A pause.] In the sense that it's a possibility we can't forget. Too many things have gotten through now, and it was much stronger months ago. Asti controls the barrier as far as we're aware, and as long as he's sick, the risk remains, even kind of grows. [That's her theory, at any rate.]
In the mean time, we wait around with it hanging over our heads, wondering when it might fall on them. [ sounds like fun. he hopes she has a precautionary plan since she's been around the longest. ]
[A moment of quiet, broken only by him drumming his fingers on the desk in front of him] I don't know. I think I might've done something dumb, but it turned out okay? Sort of.
Oh, that makes more sense than what I was thinking. I was told the people running it are looking for workers. Who would I contact if I wanted to get involved?
You know what I think we need? [Not even a hi. Look at her, being a little rude.] Girl's night out. This place is starting to drive me crazy, and we're still young.
[Is that rude?? She doesn't even really notice.] Uh - what kind of girls' night out are we talking here? [what do you have in mind; she's not opposed, she just needs to know!!!]
[It takes her a few rereads, but something a little prideful swells in her anyway over being spoken of and sought out with that context. Still, she replies with audio.] I could probably be more useful if I had a name to go on.
I don't suppose you've heard from you-know-who about you-know-what yet?
[So vague. Though, given the current Turtle situation--namely, everybody up in arms over the Emperor's murder, she assumes Annabeth will catch on quick enough that she was asking about Eva's situation. Girl was just that smart.]
[video] - Encrypted 100% (i can finally reply...!)
[Vanessa's just kind of whisper-screeching right now, because she's at a public cafe, and other people don't really need to know about her life, but she didn't just want to drop in on Annabeth either.]
[She kind of looks like she's about to laugh for a second, because Percy??? A murder suspect?? Obviously he gets pegged as a troublemaker a lot, but the idea of that is kind of ludicrous to her.]
[Only she frowns instead.] You think? What happened?
Looks like the consoles have gotten an upgrade since I was here last. [She looks impressed! Although her smile indicates she's probably just joking, and she gives the camera a little wave.] Hey, you, I hope you've been keeping outta trouble.
[Well Annabeth's face is certainly bright when she gets this.] Oh my gods, Steph! [Grins more!!] It's been convenient in ways, as you're experiencing right now.
[Then she rolls her eyes, waves her hand.] I never get in trouble, I don't know what you're talking about. But hey yourself. I'm not sure a 'welcome back' is something people might want to hear in this place, though. [Even if she looks super glad to see her.]
[She tries texting in response, but between the fact that it's Hayley and texting in general, she messes up too many times and just erases the whole thing to put it on audio.]
So am I. [But if anything she just sounds tired and guarded.]

About the barrier coming down again soon.
