Re: Percy / OPEN! - 7:25 p.m.
"Oh, you mean swimming in this lagoon?" Percy said while scrunching his face in over-exaggerated revulsion at the odd colored pool water. "I may have dressed for the occasion," he added with a grin, "but that doesn't mean I feel like following the rest of the protocol. Besides, if you go under, you'll come out looking like the Swamp Thing."
Pretending to scrutinize Max, he shook his head firmly no after a moment. "Now, forgive me for being blunt, but that's a look you'll never recover from. Next thing you know, you'll be sprouting vegetables, and then being a vegetarian is completely out of the question." He sipped his punch in what he felt was a truly noble manner, as if he'd just proclaimed the most renowned fact of the day.
