Hc Alabaster isn't exceptionally good at poker, but he's definitely a master at card tricks.
Why? Because Luke taught him.
Why, again? Bc I reckon Luke would see Alabaster have to carry around a bunch of cards, struggle to pick the right one in the nick of time for summoning/ incantations, and refuse to leave him be.
Children of Hermes are masters of tricks. Luke's good at poker, and by extension cheating stunts, too. So he taught Alabaster how to hide the cards between layers of armor, how to pick the right one without fumbling and dropping them all in a freaking fight, how to pull 1-2-3 cards right to your hand with just a flick of his wrist... All of this with a smile on his face, being the typical kind brother he is.
In a way, he taught Alabaster how to fight with the kid's own style.
Because Luke cares that much about these demigods.
I adore these two's brotherhood so much you don't understand

titan army shit bc it's the only thing keeping my life together
Billie: Lou Ellen… Why did you draw a pentagram on the floor?
Lou Ellen: Your text told me to satanize the house before you returned.
Billie:
Billie: I wrote sanitize, Lou Ellen.
Valentina, wearing shades: Rule one of destroying the world.
Valentina: does finger guns You gotta look good while doing it.
Ellis: Where did you get that tomato soup?
Clovis: It’s actually a bowl of ketchup I just microwaved.
Luke: Clownery. Tomfoolery. Absolute fuckery, I am going to revoke your life privileges.
Valentina: I never said I was gonna get back together with them. But I was thinking, they're in town, would it be the worst thing in the world if I gave them a call?
Silena: No. No, Valentina, it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. It would be the fourth worst thing. Number one: a super volcano. Number two: an asteroid hits the Earth. Number three: All the Evel Knievel movies are lost. Number four: Valentina calls Ellis. Number five: Billie gets eaten by a shark.
Billie: I’m Billie, and I approve the order of that list.
Alabaster: Why am I the bad guy?
Ethan: I don't know, why am I the pretty one? We all have our thing.
While the Squad is in a battle
Luke, trying to warn about the location of an enemy: To the left!
Chris: Take it back now y'all!
Billie: I never tell people off the bat that I'm gay. I wait. I wait until they say some homophobic shit and then I laugh and am like "you know I'm gay right?" and watch the look of terror on their face.
Valentina:
Valentina: I like you.
Luke: We've got to find a way to cut down our expenses. What can we live without?
Ethan: Ellis, probably.
Ethan: You're pathetic!
Lou Ellen: You're pathetic-er!
Alabaster: You're both losers.
Silena after Chris went insane: Chris, can I ask you a question?
Chris: Sure, anything.
Silena: Why don't you go back to your own house and leave us alone?
Ethan: I typed "bitch" into my GPS and guess what? I'm in your driveway.
Luke:
Ethan: Vroom vroom, come out already.
Billie: Goddamn it, the printer broke while printing out Alabaster's birthday invitations.
Lou Ellen: Well, what are they supposed to say?
Billie: "Alabaster's birthday".
Lou Ellen: So, what do they say instead?
Billie: "Alabaster’s bi".
Lou Ellen:
Lou Ellen: Works out either way.

Hi demigods and mortals alike. Would you be interested in overthrowing the gods?
This is an ask blog of the demigods in the Titan Army. It includes:
•Luke Castellan, son of Hermes
•Ethan Nakamura, son of Nemesis
•Alabaster C Torrington, son of Hecate
•Chris Rodriguez, son of Hermes
•Silena Beauregard, daughter of Aphrodite (she hates it here)
You can ask them questions about their relationships, backstories, personalities and motives and you can request little drawings of them (aka force them to do some weird shit). Occasionally, I will post comics of them, but most questions will be answered via writing. Remember: the gods were never on our side.

Kronos will rise. He will cast the Olympians into Tartarus and drive humanity back into their caves. All except the strongest- the ones who serve him.
i just really missed my favorite band of misguided children

Nico, Alabaster, Luke. The lost Underworld trio we would never have but sounds like a terrifying delight.
(Hermes is a chthonic deity go figure)

Thinking about Luke's thread being cut before Percy even got to camp, thinking about Al's siblings being dead already by his first on-page appearance, thinking about Ethan having made the trade that sealed his fate before we even met him, thinking about The Oresteia "This was always going to happen. She's been dead since the beginning." thinking about John Darnielle "Their fate has already staked its claim on them from the moment they appear on-screen." thinking about Matthew Stover "This story happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. It is already over. Nothing can be done to change it."
Thinking about Richard Siken "You're going to die in your best friend's arms. And you play along because it's funny, because it's written down, you've memorised it, it's all you know. I say the phrases that keep it all going, and everybody plays along."
Thinking about how fate is a tangible and unavoidable thing in the pjo world and every single time, it stakes its claim no matter what the characters do to avoid it. The three Fates know when your string will be cut and have full control over it. The oracle always knows who will die, where and when, while the people in question can only cross their fingers and hope the prophecy isn't referring to them. Because if it is, then it is.

godswap au in which Ethan, Alabaster, and Luke are the sons of the big three, but their mortal parents were able to persuade two minor goddesses and one Olympian to pretend they were their children.
Eheheheh
Al being the son of Hades. Maybe he was put in the Lotus Casino with Bianca and Nico, and then sent to the same school as them. Hecate showed up in his dreams and claimed him as one of her champions, as per Hades's request. Dr. Thorn actually manages to snatch him but not the other two, so that's how Al joins the Ta.
(And perhaps convinces his runaway little brother to do the same after Bianca's death)
Son of Poseidon Luke. Hermes meeting May and being absolutely smitten, so he does Poseidon a favour and hides his eldest son as his own. Luke being Percy’s biological older brother and Annabeth’s adopted one. His quest can be at age 16 instead of 17 to fit the prophecy a little more. By accepting the quest, he ended up accepting Kronos's influence without knowing. Him telling Percy that they're actually brothers before trying to recruit him and siccing a scorpion. And of course he operates from a cruise ship, the sea is his domain.
(Sea of Monsters reunion and Antaeus's arena will be wild with all the sons of Poseidon present.)
(Poseidon telling Percy he is his favourite son would hit harder)
Ethan as son of Zeus, taking after his justice side. Zeus gives Ethan to Nemesis as a baby (like he did with Jason and Juno) and Nemesis takes one of little baby Ethan's eyes as a price. She is cackling at the irony of Zeus’s son being the one to raise Kronos. What's Zeus going to do? That's her child soldier champion not his, he gave him to her.
(Thalia thinking Jason is back when she sees lightning across the battlefield for a second, then realising it's Ethan. Not the baby brother she raised.)
