    Rick Riordan
    “Grover was sniffing the wind, looking nervous. He fished out his acorns and threw them into the sand, then played his pipes. They rearranged themselves in a pattern that made no sense to me, but Grover looked concerned.
    "That's us," he said. "Those five nuts right there."
    "Which one is me?" I asked.

    “Dreams like a podcast,
    Downloading truth in my ears.
    They tell me cool stuff."

    “Hearthstone snapped his fingers for attention. I'm glad too, he signed. He patted the bag of runes at his belt. Stupid cages were magic-proof. Blitzen was crying a lot.
    "I was not," Blitzen protested, signing along. "You were."
    I was not, Hearthstone said. You were.
    At that point, the ASL conversation deteriorated into the two of them poking each other in the chest.”

    “We tossed the bag into the pool. I resisted the urge to jump in after it.

    “Will they cower?' Kym asked.

    'Tons of cowering! Plus your name in the summer programme. A custom-designed banner. A cabin at Camp Half-Blood. Two shrines. I'll even throw in a Kymopoleia action figure.'

    “Right before the game, she strolled up to me. "Hey, Seaweed Brain."
    "Will you stop calling me that?"
    She knows I hate that name, mostly because I never have a good comeback. She's the daughter of Athena, which doesn't give me a lot of ammunition. I mean, "Owl-head" and "Wise Girl" are kind of lame insults.”

    "Uhhh," Nico groaned from the floor.

    “About five meters ahead, Nico was swinging his black sword with one hand, holding the scepter of Diocletian aloft with the other. He kept shouting orders at the legionnaires, but they paid him no attention.

    Of course not, Frank thought. He's Greek.

    [...]

    Jason's face was already beaded with sweat. He kept shouting in Latin: "Form ranks!" But the dead legionnaires wouldn't listen to him, either.

    [...]

    "Make way!" Frank shouted. To his surprise, the dead legionnaires parted for him. The closest ones turned and stared at him with blank eyes, as if waiting for further orders.

    "Oh, great..." Frank mumbled.”

    MD, DMD, DME, DC, DVS, FAAN, OMG, EMT, TTYL, FRCP, ME, IOU, OD, OT, PHARMD, BAMF, RN, PHD, INC., SMH

    There may have been more acronyms in the list, but by that point Leo's brain had exploded.”

    Rick Riordan
    “Frank, how did you do that?" Jason yelled.

    Frank's head swam with pain. He forced himself not to pass out. "I'm the ranking Roman officer," he said. "They- uh, they don't recognize you. Sorry."

    Jason grimaced, but he didn't look particularly surprised. "How can we help?”
