Two weeks. Two damn weeks they had been here and still they weren’t allowed out of the damn casino. Eros had assured them that the time, for now, was the same as the outside world. Which, honestly, didn’t give Percy much hope. He had thrown insults at the god (who unfortunately doesn’t die if he stays near mortals, wishful thinking he guessed), used his powers (which the fucking god promptly banned for the day, how did he even know how to do that?!), talked to his dad (who seemed smug and told him to just admit it and they could be let out), and he even went as far as talking to Zeus (who actually seemed apologetic and told him that he was on a bargin, he helped and his brothers would forgive him). And apart from that Eros had come to warn him that, and he quotes, ‘things aren’t getting better so we are going to make it get easier for you’. He didn’t want easier! He wanted normal, he wanted the Argo ii and he wanted home. But oh no, the gods don’t want that do they?! Someone tapped him on the shoulder and he sighed, not bothering to turn around “no, whatever your name is, I don’t want a discount, no I don’t want a flower to eat and yes, I would very much like you to let me return back to the ship I was on.” He heard a feminine laugh then.
“you always were stubborn, Jackson. No wonder it’s taking a long time for you both” he whirled around then, because he knew that voice. He knew that laugh. Hell he knew that smell!
“CALYPSO!?”
