PART 2:http://whatifwearefiction.tumblr.com/post/182023476554/from-the-sea-p2

The gardens where quiet almost dead quiet, I reached the little metal gate, pushing it open with a quiet creek I hopped out and shut it again I felt so happy taking my shoes off and running though the whispy grass till my feet reached the soft sand I giggled opening my little bag as I walked across the sand picking up cute and sweet little shells putting them in my bag I kneeled down close by the waters edge picking up a little thing it glintered in the moonlight it was a bit of glass but the days at sea and on the sand had sanded it down so it was duffered and no sharp at all I liked it so I put it in my bag I heard a strange sound like something diving in or out of the water I looked around nothing I saw a little bit away from me a mark in the sand it looked like the marks of where a fish had been dragged out of the water but it must have been huge lucky fisherman I guess when suddenly my eyes when dark.

“Ehh who's there?” I complain as I felt hands over my eyes no answer “show yourself!” I complain

“Guess who?” a voice asks behind me

“Hehhe Thomas let me go” I complain

“Alright” he laughs letting me see and I turned to see him he looked the same as last I saw him his hair all wet again “hello princess” He smiles

“hello Thomas” I laugh

“I brought you a present” He smiles grabbing a large swirly shell with little golden edges and handing it to me I looked at it, it was beautiful the most wonderful shell I had seen

“Where did you find this?” I ask

“Ohh just down the beach a little” he shrugs “I know what your like with shells” He laughs

“Umm thank you” I smile putting it in my bag “What's that?” I ask as I spotted something strange on his neck I couldn't tell in the dark and from here what it was

“Ohh nothing” He says covering it up with his hand

“Let me see” I giggle moving closer tugging his collar to see it neck better and he moved his hand and nothing was there

“see nothing” He laughs

“Ohh? Could have swarn I saw... Nevermind, just my head playing tricks on me” I smile holding his hand “Come on” I giggle tugging him down the beach to our normal spot a few flat rocks that are beside the sand but lead out to the sea it has a few little rock pools on it with starfish and hermit crabs and it was our little spot always has been ever since we where little we just can't be out to late or the tide comes in and your trapped over here I sat by one of the little pools washing my shells and stones in the watermy feet draped over the side into the water

“What is your obbession with shells Y/N?” he asks me his foot up on the rock his elbow on his knee and his head leant on his hand his whole odly seemed to be far away from any water

“I don't know” I shrug “I like them like little trinkets from another world” I laugh “Can't you just imagine little crabs going to little crab shops paying for things with little shells or little fishes collecting nice shells for there walls in there houses” I laugh

“You a funny little thing” He laughs

“Come on Thomas, I love the sea, it's a whole unexploreable world under there no man can journy down into and tell the tale” I smile “Who know's what could be out there? In the depts of the ocean? Glow in the dark fishes? A kraken? Maybe even merpeople” I suggest and he smiled a little at me

“merpeople? Like what pirates rave about? Some big breasted fish girl with beautiful blonde hair that kisses anyone?” He smirks “You wanna see something like that?” he asks

“Wouldnt you?” I ask

“No, the whole concept is stupid, merpeople and humans what a stupid idea, how is a guy meant to get it on with a mer girl she has no...you know, knowhere for him to stick his thing” He explained

“True I supose, but wouldnt it be cool a human like create able to swim like a fish one with the water and able to swim forever... I would give anything to be like that” I smile

“anything?” he asks and I nod

“but everyone has crazy dreams I supose” I sigh finishing up with my shells and moving next to him resting my head on his shoulder

“Humm yeah, your right” he laughs putting an arm around me resting it on my waist and giving the top of my head a kiss

“Umm, what would daddy say if he found us out here?” I giggle

“Likely throw me out into the sea” he laughs “and lock you in your room for the rest of your life” he smiles and I giggle cuddling into his slender chest keeping my hand on his shirt

“Thomas?” I ask him

“Umm?” he asks clearly half asleep with me cuddle up to him

“Come on I wanna nuzzle” I giggle

“I'm as close as I can be Y/N” he laughs I giggle rubbing my foot against his shoe and ankle “Ohh Come on its about time we get back” he says

“yeah your right” I sigh grabbing my bag and slipping my shoes on to walk back we wondered across the sand hand in hand he walked me as far as the grass

“Y/N? Could you came back tommorrow just as it gets dark?” He asks holding my hands

“Course I will” I smile nuzzling my head close to him

“Okay, see you tomorrow Princess” he smiles

“Tomorrow” I giggle going off towards the garden gate I turned back in hope to wave goodbye but he was gone so I snuck inside and rushed up to my room looking and sorting all my pretty new shells.

I smiled cuddling close to my pillow I looked out and saw the rain it was a harsh storm must have rolled in over night I got up getting dressed and sitting in bed with my book I didnt see the point going around the castle I am never allowed out anyway and even less in the rain I tried my best getting into my book but I couldn't I saw the rain was starting to ease now so I went down looking for food and the delivery guy was dropping off food and such Mrs winters wasn't here she must have been up serving lunch

“Mr Lenly? Where is Thomas today?” I ask him

“No clue, dam boy never shows up when it's rainy, pitty I need him when it does” he sighs “Well good day to you” He smiles going out to his cart so I sigh grabbing a apple and going up to the living room where my mother sat having a coffee and my father sat reading his book

“Did you ask for that apple?” My father asked

“No I popped down to get it” I shrug going to the fire to poke it and toss a log on

“no you went to see him and got an apple to cover it, I know it's delivery time” He sighs

“See who?” I ask taking another big bite of my apple

“That delivery boy you like so much” he answered

“No, he wasn't working today” I shrug throwing the core of my apple on the fire

“Alright, not to many of those you'll spoil your dinner” he says so I grab a new book from the shelf and run up to my room I ran a bath making sure my door was locked and stripped off my clothes sitting in the warm water with my book after a while I threw the book and dipped my head under the water letting my hair move around in the flowing water I turned the tap off with my foot I blew bubbles into the water I like it empty out all the air and holding my breath my mind flashed back as it often does when underwater the earliest memory I have, I was a little girl I think about five I was playing in the sand collecting shells in a little bag my mother was watching me my father sat in the sand my grandmother was sat on the sand too drawing my grandfather picked me up

“Now Now Y/N don't want to get sand in your pretty hair” He told me tieing up my hair for me and putting me back down closer to the sea edge “There you go sweetie all the best shells are close to the water, you can watch them float in sometimes” he told me pointing to a little shell it came on a wave across the clear water onto the sand next to me to I picked it up and put it in my bag with a giggle “Don't go to far now sweetie” he told me as I went off exploreing, but the next thing I remembered I as screaming for my family they where screaming for me but I couldn't get back to them my whole body was underwater sinking to the sand when something had hold of me

“Your beautiful” it told me a voice I never knew and next I knew I was back on the beach with my family I sat up knowing I had been down to long I got out getting dry and quickly getting dressed as I would be late if I didn't hurry I grabbed my little bag and ran off down to the garden luckly knowone was around so I stuck out the gate and shut it up behind me running down to the beach as the sun began to set

“Finaly! I was starting to wonder if you where coming” Thomas laughed as I spotted him he had a little row boat on the sand and he was leaning against it

“I got held up” I smile hugging him tightly “what is this?” I ask

“A suprise, come on” he smiles taking my bag and putting it in the boat so I giggle climbing in and he laughed pushing the boat out and jumping in with me as we cast off he rowed us out a little while and I felt in heaven leaning my head on the side of the boat and running my hand along the little waves as we went out towards the setting sun I couldnt see much below the water but I was just happy to be so far from home the castle still in sight but so small the lights in the windows a blur they where so far away he threw a little bag down on a string making us anchor there “happy?” he asks and I nod “Good” he smiles sitting with me looking at the water but as the sea became still I noticed where I was looking into the dark mysterious deep he wasn't he was looking at my reflection in the water

“Thomas? Why did you bring me out here?” I ask him a little nervous

“well... you love the sea, I didn't want you to be parted from it anymore” He says “I would do anything to see you smile like that for me” he smiles moving some of my hair away from my face “Y/N? I- I wanted to ask you something” he says

“what is it?” I ask sitting up a little

“You remember the story you where telling me the other day... about the fishy people?” he laughs

“Course I do, I love telling you that story” I smile “why?” I ask as he took my hands

“and you said yesterday you would give anything to live like that to be part of the sea?” he asks

“Thomas what are you talking about your scareing me?” I ask

“Just- Just... I want to show you something, thats why I brought you so far out promise me you wont run off?” He asks and I nod very confused “Okay” He sighs shutting his eyes looking scared giving my head a kiss and standing up letting our hands be dragged apart he took a deep breath and jumped into the sea

“AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!” I scream “Thomas what are you crazy!” I Yell the sea settled again and I couldnt see him he wasn't coming back up I was about to jump in after him when I suddenly saw light coming from below the water like someone had opened a bottle of sunlight under the water “Ohhh nooo.... Thomas whatever the joke was very funny, stop this now your really scareing me” I said to the empty quiet as the light died down I kept looking around in case he remaurged somewhere else when I heard water moving I turned and saw Thomas his arms on the boat his hair drenched beats of water running down his skin

“Hi” he smiles

“Hi? You scared the living.... you really frightened me and you say hi what on earth was all that about?” I ask him “come on get back in the boat before you get cold” I tell him going close to him

“No... Y/N, Listen to me okay” he told me

“I am listening” I shrug

“The story you always talk about what is it called?” He asked

“Thomas is now really-” I began

“Just tell me” He laughs

“The Beautiful Mergirl, why?” I ask

“and who's the main character?” he asks

“My grandfather always put my name in there as the mergirl, but I always tell it as Lilla?” I explain “what does this-” I began

“and what race is she?” he asked

“Race?” I ask a little puzzled

“Like what is she?” He asked with a laugh

“a mermaid Half fish half human” I shrug “Now Thomas please can you just tell me what's going on?” I ask

“Okay” he smiles holding my hand “Well... merpeople?” He smirks

“what about them?” I ask

“Your story is real Y/N” he smiles

“What are you talking about? What do you mean my stories real? What do you mean? And what does my sotry have anything to do with you jumping of the boat?” I ask he just lightly chuckled at me moving a little away from the boat and... a tail poped above the water not a fish it was huge like the size of two legs held together and then a little more it had large half moon scales that where a dark blue but a lighter blue where moonlight touched them the large fin at the end was split into two large parts it was a thin fades light blue

“Please don't freak out?” he asked “You promised you wouldn't run off” He says

“hummm...” I say quietly not sure what else to say “Take me back to the beach” I tell him

“But I-” He began

“Take me back Thomas” I tell him

“Okay” he sighed moving to the back of the boat and pushing it along back to the beach it running to shore quickly

anyway, this has been a While coming and now im back in new orleans so LOTS OF GUSHING ABOUT THE LIGHTNING THIEF MUSICAL, UNDER THE CUT

the ambiance of the theater, dim and filled with soft storm sounds

this show does really beautiful things with overlapping singing and w harmonys and its So low budget but still so good and the cast is small but amazing and literally everyone but chris is cast into several roles and its just amazing

if u dont wanna read this whole thing, just scroll down to the end for a Special Surprise

ACT 1

the Bitter, Angry, Sad music, ltm is truly the Emo Rock Musical we deserve

i seriously almost fell out of my chair when chris mccarrell came out. he honest to god was SUCH a good percy, so fidgety and all his expressions were ON POINT

“CHROOONOOOOOOOS”

ms dodds in General she was hilarious for the literal 3 minutes she was onstage

the pen to sword transformation is literally just: chris hides the pen and grabs the sword from somewhere else onstage. during my show, in the ms dodds fight scene, the sword was on the back of chirons wheelchair and it got stuck so he had to trip after the chair as chiron wheeled off and TUG it off to fight

DID I MENTION HOW MUCH I LOVED CHRIS MCCARRELL AND HOW AMAZING HIS VOICE WAS? BECAUSE I DO AND IT W A S

sally is a BLACK WOMAN 

just in general, this show was Amazing at raceblind casting

sally sprayed febreeze after smelly gabe, like he leaned to look in the fridge and she stood behind him spraying febreeze directly at him for like 30 seconds

“he was handsome and strong and before too long- you came!” percy was roasting marshmallows and looking out towards the audience and sally was rubbing up and down the sides of her body during this before “you came!” and it was v funny

Strong in general was Great bc WOW IM LOVE THE “NORMALCY IS A SOCIALLY CONSTRUCTED MYTH” MESSAGE

grover and percy meeting outside camp

“oh look a goat” “percy!”

“he met a furie” “youre all furry! what happened to your legs”

the v cute friendship bickering, overlapping voices thing that percy and grover v often did. this was the grover and percy friendship that we always needed

during the weird dream when he sees annabeth and hes like “gee whiz shes the most beautiful girl ive ever seen”

and then when he officially meets her after hes not out of it, he says “youre my dream girl!” and then backpedals and its great

ANOTHER TERRIBLE DAY. DEFFS ONE OF THE TOP FIVE SONGS. MR D IN GENERAL WAS JUST AMAZING, GEORGE SALAZAR ROCKED IT

“of course, who am i to give relationship advice, im literally the god of alcohol”

“you can hate it here, but i HATED IT FIRST”

chiron is just a guy galloping with a horse tail its the cutest thing and everyone laughed bc like imagine a kid galloping w their legs high and w/e, but on an adult and slow motion

“you’ll get used to mr d. he can be a bit... well, he hates children”

luke was Very attractive and ALSO he had a lot of chemistry w percy and w annabeth and i, who remembered shipping percy and luke back in my Youth, was Living

annabeth deffs had a crush on luke dont @ me

also luke was Softly bitter. like he sounded like a modern kid, bitter and upset but saying it in a joking way; totally makes sense that no one suspects that he’d do anything w chronos bc all the kids are upset and he doesnt get dark until the very end of the show

“are you ever going to wear pants again?” “Nope!”

luke: “havent you ever played capture the flag?” percy, excitedly: “not with swords!” *makes swooshy lightsaber noises* annabeth, suffering, full of regret: “It’s not a lightsaber.”

“sexist much?” “no, i love girls” [muffled luke and grover cackling in the background]

“we dont care where our parents may be, as long as you are here with me!” FRIENDSHIP MAKES ME EMO

“havent you noticed that there arent any other little sea godlings running around? any sons of hades or daughters of zeus? the big three gods arent supposed to have kids!” i loved this tiny easter egg i love my big three kids

“look at the boy, hes clearly not a thief!” “oh, yeah no yeah yeah yeah no no yeah yeah no yeah no, youre right! you cant fake being that stupid unless youre a brilliant actor, but im also the god of drama, so i can tell you HES NOT”

medusa in general, what a Good scene

ensemble members shaking maracas to make snake noises for her

medusa cant say “nemesis”

“ive done everything to prove to the gods that im the best and you- i mean, you dont even know how to hold a sword” “yes i do!, yes... i do...” “no, hands here *adjusts percys grip*” “i didnt ask for any of this: gods, monsters, quests- oh, wow, that is a lot easier”

everyone says this but “i think this pit is tartarus” “LIKE THE FISH SAUCE?”

“why would chronus want my shoes?” “they were really cool shoes”

bitter, sad hades who just wants people to stop thinking that hes the bad guy and for his brothers to come visit him

“one does not simply walk out of the underworld”

W H A T  B E L O N G S  T O  T H E  S E A  C A N  A L W A Y S  R E T U R N

small reprise of good kid as he considers hades offer and then the melody cHANGES and percy realizes that the seashell, a gift from a god, can SAVE THEM and its beautiful because SON OF POSEIDON IS A GOOD SONG

“maybe my dad was a screwup too, his best laid plans always falling through... maybe he never knew how to care but hey, thats life, and life aint fair... but i think my dad mayve thrown me a line, and better late than never, ill finally get a sign!”

its a good song kids

the kids get to the oceans and they FIGHT ARES and ares and percy are both singing, percy singing The Son Of Poseidon chorus and ares singing Put You In Your Place and its b e a u t i f u l

THE TOILET PAPER THROW- basically they bring in like 6 leafblowers w toilet paper rolls attached and the first five rows get covered in toilet paper. as someone who was in the fifth row, it was amazing

poseidon comes in, they have a Heart To Heart, he brings sally back to life, he flirts with sally, its hilarious and awkward

“the gods are unfair but we’re not total dicks”

percys like “you dont have to stay w gabe anymore” and sallys like “smh boy u cant solve all my problems. you saved my life, now i have to figure out how to live it”

he gives her medusas head

“what is this” “its a... do it yourself scupture kit” “oh! *begins to open it*” “no no no its, um, medusas head”

“well, as my official protector, you can officially escort us back to camp” “and youre conscience this time!”

chiron is also cast as poseidon so like he runs into the camp scene after a quick change and says “i hoofed it here as quick as i could!” 

last day of summer happens and w/e its cute but whAT REALLY MATTERS IS LUKES BETRAYAL: okay so the music slows and goes into the minor key and percys like “we still dont know whos working w chronos :/” lukes like “yeah it sucks” and he starts singing about how he doesnt trust the gods and how the gods hate them and how they need to take over the world and put the gods in their place--he and percy do their handshake fist-to-the-chest thing and luke is serious and percy does it but hes v confused and it Hurts. this is the first time in the show that luke sounds just Bitter and Angry instead of jokingly deprecating and its quite the effect

THE DARK GOOD KID REPRISE 

“ill do anything, i dont care if i hurt anyone, it doesnt pay to be a good kid, a good kid, a good son" GOD IT HURTS luke has so much pain and i feel so bad for him like yeah hes evil but,,, hes had a hard life

annabeth comes in and DISARMS LUKE but PSYCH luke has a small switchblade and STABS PERCY IN THE BACK (bc they cant use scorpions onstage)

percybeth moment interrupted by clarisse’s loud coughing and grover

percys like “we cant just sit here and wait for our parents to fix things.”

“the gods will say we’re impertinent” “we are impertinent” goddamn that symmetry

“are we ever gonna once have it easy?” my poor poor kids

percy- “feeling ready” annabeth- “feeling stoked” grover- “feeling queasy”

THE SEA DOESNT LIKE TO BE RESTRAINED

bring on the monsters is just a Good song
