Prompt from sonofthetrigod: Percy goes on a Duck Tour in Baltimore, Maryland.


The audio is a mess, with children yelling, cars rushing by, and someone sneezing repeatedly.

"And here we have Edgar Allan Poe's grave site, next to the University of Maryland's School of Law… The University Square Park is right next door, we'll be passing that shortly!" someone said perkily, their voice slightly distorted as it was amplified. "This area is clustered with some sites, such as the Hippodrome Theatre right around the corner…"

The audio settles with reasonable background noise, and Grover is heard, sounding rather heated: "At least I didn't name my kid electron!"

"Firstly, I didn't name anyone! I am not that Perseus! Secondly, it was Electryon, you uneducated goat!"

A very offended, breathy gasp followed in reply. "You didn't."

By now, the background chatter and announcer had grown quiet.

"Guys. You're causing a scene…" Annabeth whispered.

"He called me a goat, Ann! An uneducated… goat."

"I know, he's very rude," Annabeth whispered back, hastily. "But ssh… People are staring…"

"And… If you look, ah, right on this side… There's the Lexington Market…" the tour guide said, sounding very confused.

"I'm not rude!" Percy whispered back. "All's fair in arguments… Grover knows that…"

"You were a little rude," Annabeth whispered back.

"A goat," Grover said quietly, still sounding shocked. "A goat."


A/N: Sorry if the chapters have been lackluster and unentertaining lately. I feel like they are… I haven't had good inspiration lately, but I'll try to make them more entertaining! I feel like I write better for prompts that aren't set-ups for a scene, but rather phrases/details/single words, if that makes sense, so I might take a break from you guys' prompts and try to find inspiration through prompts that I come up with. All prompts and reviews are welcome, though! I do love when I get prompts, I just haven't had inspiration lately.
