I'll give you a break when you stop being an idiot
( but, yeah, for the most part, the argument is over. there's only so many times clarisse can scream the equivalent of you're being a fuckhead, steve before she starts repeating herself, and now doesn't really feel like the time to start beating the dead horse. that, and it's a lot harder to say what she really means (i just want you to be happy, stupid) so she just. doesn't. )
No I haven't been there because I miss all the fun stuff
( and by "fun stuff" she means life-threatening quests and bonus trips to tartarus. not that she'd ever actually want to end up in tartarus. but still. it's always stay at camp, clarisse, protect the camp, clarisse. boring. )
It really depends on who you were in life Your soul is judged when it enters the Underworld and you can end up in one of a few places Heroes like us usually end up in Elysium, which is like our equivalent of Heaven, but really anyone who lived a good life can be sent there It's the paradise of the Underworld The Isles of the Blest are at the center of Elysium, but only those who have been reborn three times and achieved Elysium every time can get there, so most people don't try I don't know how you out-paradise paradise, but I guess getting to live forever on a private island helps The Fields of Asphodel is where most people wind up, and, yeah, it's about as boring as it sounds Literally it's a giant field where souls just wander around aimlessly for all eternity But people who were especially bad end up in the Fields of Punishment where, you know, they're punished for all eternity And then there's Tartarus, but that's mostly reserved for monsters and primordial beings who should never see the light of day again Think of it like the supermax of the Underworld
( she can sort of see where this is going, but — )
I know Silena made it to Elysium, but it's still Hard, without her
( and then, just for a little levity: )

It really depends on who you were in life
Your soul is judged when it enters the Underworld and you can end up in one of a few places
Heroes like us usually end up in Elysium, which is like our equivalent of Heaven, but really anyone who lived a good life can be sent there
It's the paradise of the Underworld
The Isles of the Blest are at the center of Elysium, but only those who have been reborn three times and achieved Elysium every time can get there, so most people don't try
I don't know how you out-paradise paradise, but I guess getting to live forever on a private island helps
The Fields of Asphodel is where most people wind up, and, yeah, it's about as boring as it sounds
Literally it's a giant field where souls just wander around aimlessly for all eternity
But people who were especially bad end up in the Fields of Punishment where, you know, they're punished for all eternity
And then there's Tartarus, but that's mostly reserved for monsters and primordial beings who should never see the light of day again
Think of it like the supermax of the Underworld
