He then smacks her in the head with his sword butt, and he does say sword butt, technical term, not just me making a silly-year-old man. And I'm making my way through the series, but I'm not doing it alone. I am joined again by an expert in mythology and also Percy Jackson. And being a cool person, it is Exelior's own Dr. Moya McTeer, Dr. Moia. How is it going? Hello. It's going really great. I love the last chapter, but this one,

I think, is even more exciting. This one is really, really solid, and I'm very excited to talk about it

with you. It has been minutes since we last spoke about Percy Jackson. All we've done in between is

refill our water glasses and become one with the plumbing, But now we are here to continue to discuss it.

So I think we get right into chapter eight. We capture a flag. Much more of a direct chapter title,

but a very exciting one because Capture the Flag has been hinted. And I love Capture the Flag.

So the fact that they're doing it very much excites me. Did you play a lot of Capture the Flag growing up? Because I played a ton. I wouldn't say I played a ton, but I played, you know, like 500 pounds of Capture the Flag. It's very good. I was a mits of water and I almost did a literal spit take, which would have been bad because I am in the studio and I would have ruined equipment.

That's very good.

I'll wait until you swallow to be funny next time. No, no, no, no. It's all good. Spit take would be wonderful. I'll just have to direct it at something else. But, yeah, I'm a big Capture the Flag fan. I play a lot. I also played variations. where I grew up in New Jersey, we would play Manhunt, which is like, capture the flag without flags, basically.

It's such a lot. I also played variations. Where I grew up in New Jersey, we played Manhunt, which is like Capture the Flag without flags, basically. It's such a fun game. It feels like a perfectly

campy game, too, even though I've never been to a Sleepaway camp, it feels exactly like a game

that would be at a Sleepaway Camp. So it feels absolutely perfect for this setting. I think that a lot of

Capture the Flag happens in like open fields maybe, but Capture the Flag in the Woods is where it's at.

Yeah. In the Woods, very intense. I've never done that. I've only done suburban neighborhood capture

the flag where you just utilize front yards and backyards. Sometimes

it would just be one person's yard. Other times, if we had a lot of people, it would be the

entire street. And that's really cool. And there was one time in particular where, like, I took it

pretty seriously. Whenever I play anything, I'm overly competitive. But there was one time when I was dating a girl. We had not had our first kiss yet, and I was of a young enough age where I was heavily invested in having this. And she was on the other team. And she said that if we told her where our flag was that she would kiss me, I went to my team, I was like, guys, can we take one for me? And can we please tell them where the flag is?
