[ He thinks he can live with not finding out. Some things are better left unknown.
Ah... Yeah, he can read that expression, and it brings a frown to his own face. And he hadn't been here early on, but he does remember seeing a purple-haired guy... girl? The lack of specification makes it hard for Percy to figure out, so he finally settles on sticking to Person.
But also wow. Why isn't he surprised-- oh, right, because this sounds just like what he'd expect to be happening. Some bigger force fighting against other forces, causing problems in his own life, as though being in the bad situation itself isn't enough.
He makes a face at the last part. ]
Wait... seriously? Did they-...
[ Percy's anger flares a bit, and he's releasing a shaky breath. ]
They made the clones here. The ones for the game...
[ Not entirely a question, but it's probably clear he's waiting to either be mocked for stupidly jumping to the wrong conclusion or told he's right or... ]
So, that's who I need to find. Thanks, Astaroth
[ He maybe practiced his name a few times, to actually make sure he had the hang of it. ]
... Are you the one who's in charge of the rooms around here?
[ While the demigod is putting thoughts together, trying to figure out which emotions to feel, Astaroth simply watches him. His own expression still the same barely-contained rage. ]
Yeah, they did. Beelzebub has been interfering for quite a while. They enjoy the chaos and misery that comes from watching the universe end.
[ No mocking here, just a weariness that's very old. ]
No problem. Just try not to get yourself killed again.
[ A curious blink at that last question. ]
Most of them. Why? Have a request you want to make?
[ It's not that Astaroth cares if Percy gets himself killed, but Akira is attached to this guy for some reason. And well, Astaroth has no love for Beelzebub but they are strong. So he just nods in approval.

I made a promise not to rush in without at least talking to Nico...
[ Then he shakes his head at that question. ]
Not really. [ well, he wouldn't mind more water - maybe he'll ask at some point ] Just wanted to say thanks. So... thanks.

The thanks has him blinking in surprise. ]
Why are you thanking me?
