( that's ... that's the nativity, clarisse. but whatever. you can't expect her to know the difference between these things. baptisms and christmas aren't totally on her radar. she knows of them, and some of the year-rounders do little gift exchanges during the holidays, but for the most part they don't really celebrate mortal holidays at camp (she vaguely remembers christmas celebrations from when she was a kid, but it's not something that's ever been, you know, part of her identity or anything). there's the winter solstice every year, of course, but even then it's never really been a big deal like it used to be in ancient times (aside from the council of the gods that demigods are so rarely invited to attend). chiron tried to convince percy that camp should hold a traditional winter solstice feast in poseidon's honor one year and clarisse is pretty sure she's never seen percy run faster for half-blood hill. )
You know, if you can accept weird demons from an alternate dimension you really shouldn't be having such a hard time with this
( but maybe her life by comparison is exponentially weirder than one demon dimension, considering — )
What do you mean why My dad's dad's brother is the king of the Underworld, dumbo Nico pretty much lived there until recently, he's seen the whole place And Percy and Annabeth have been there, too (no they weren't dead) I mean, it's just never been a secret where we're going when we die, just a matter of when
no subject
Were the wise men there too
