Im going to add a full vote later on, but right now:
To all those voting to ask about Time, please don't. The gods are already wary about our similarity to Cronos, saying that we'd like to use his domain will have them think we're the child of prophecy that will bring forth another Titan war. They will murder us.
Also, Life will get far more progress from asking since it's a concept Persephone is incredibly knowledgeable about.

Also, Life will get far more progress from asking since it's a concept Persephone is incredibly knowledgeable about.
The reason why I'm voting for time is partially because I think we're already in too deep with the gods anyway and partially because time is really esoteric. Trial and error in the dark with a concept that's really out there feels like it could backfire, very easily. But you're right, Persephone isn't the best one to ask this, it's just that she's kind of the only one to ask at this point.
Unless we somehow meet Chronus (Titan) or Chronos itself (Protogenoi of Time) her guess or Demeter's is probably the best we'll get on this subject in a long time.
I suppose we could always ask Hecate, if we meet her.
Maybe I'm not thinking straight at all.
That said, we should definitely still invest in Time.
Alongside any other primordial forces, like: Light, Darkness, Life, Death, (We could try love, but Aphrodite might curse us for it), Pain could be a really good one now that I think of it, Fear too.
Honestly, we could just start messing around with different emotions and see what sticks. Concepts are terrifyingly versatile.

Praise goes a long way here, I think. "Generous" is the polite answer, but also distant.
[X][It was…] Great! Thanks for all the effort you put in. You could have just thrown monsters at us, but we got a thrilling fight against an enemy that wouldn't just kill us, a trip through beautiful scenery, a clever puzzle that I'm sorry I didn't realize was one at the time, and even a chance to heal Blossom!

(Not the tone of it, she's being nothing but "nice". But, given how important family relations are in this context, calling us cousin feels a bit loaded)
We are half-siblings, and given all the trouble she's gone to for this situation, that that she opens up the conversation by trapping us and downplaying what little relation we have to her feels a little dangerous.
Gods aren't people. Every word that comes from them feels like innuendo.

She's the Queen of the Underworld, not Polyphemus. She's not gullible, until proven otherwise anyway.
There's a limit to how much we can embellish without making negative relationship progress.
I advise something more modest. Of course, I think playing up the family connection is the best way to go. You learn from family, etc.
But whatever anybody on here votes, be subtle.

It's probably too late, but is asking questions about underworld and Hades really a good idea? I mean, she probably doesn't want to be reminded of it, does she? And it's also pretty unnecessary, too.

I don't think it's a good idea. But again, she's the best source we'll have for a long time.
So I'm willing to risk it.
Plus, the way I worded my Hades question is hardly serious. It's more a half-in-jest transition away from the Chronus talk.
Asking about the underworld in general is actually pretty good information to have.
Given that before this update we thought we'd gotten thrown into the abyss, we would do well to have something more than hunches on what awaits us down below. The fear that we were in the Underworld, unprepared and alone was why we were scrambling to spend EXP so much.
We don't know enough, about anything really. So I'm asking questions even if they step on toes or piss people off (within reason, ie. no time concept talk).
We're operating from a very vulnerable position. We need info. @Monk Penguin how exactly do these votes work for the personal questions?

Just found this quest. I hope that our current predicament counts as "succumbing to the flowers' curse," because otherwise it is likely that these flowers will drag us to the Underworld to mirror what happened to Persephone.

[9][Personal Questions] What's it like being married to Hades? I was gonna drop the ones with under half (12) votes but then we'd only have three questions so I added the last one.
"It was very generous of you," you reply.
Persephone huffs, possibly in amusement. It's kind of hard to tell since you can't see her face."Well, at least you're smart enough not to say something stupid," she turns and gives you a grin, "but I do want to hear your actual thoughts."
"I meant what I said. I don't think there's any other way we could have healed Blossom's legs." Persephone hmm's at that. "And I have to say I've learned a lot about using my powers on this quest. Definitely more than I would have if I hadn't gone on one."
The next time she glances back, her smile is genuine. "I'm glad you think that. So, got any questions for me?"
"Out of curiosity, how did you convince Zeus to lend you his Eagle."
"Actually, I had another question for you about my demigod powers."
"Oh?"
"Yeah, I can… I'm not sure quite how to explain this, but I can imbue plants with different concepts."
"Oh, like using magic to make them stronger or harder?"
"Sort of, but not like directly doing that with magic. It's more like I use magic to put the concept of 'Strength' into the plant, which makes it stronger.
Abruptly, she turns to face you. Your flower-based binds also stop moving you across the ground. All traces of childishness are gone form her expression, putting it at odds with her form.
"You can do conceptual magic?" she asks sharply.
"Yes? Only on plants, though. I thought it was maybe something Mom could do? "
She mutters something under her breath.
"You're right. It is something Mom can do, I just thought that you had to be at least a minor god to do conceptual magic. I guess the Fates must be planning on something big."
She relaxes, turns, and continues walking. Your binds pull you along behind her. You'd known it was unusual, but you'd thought it was just extremely rare for demigods, not unprecedented.
"Before you ask, no. You're not a minor god. I would be able to tell if you were." She turns to grin at you again. "That doesn't mean you can't become one though."
"What?" you vaguely remember something to that effect being offered, but you thought it was an exceptional case. "Don't you need worshippers or something?"
"Hmm, no, not really. You'd just need the unanimous approval of Olympus. Oh, and probably your own legend as well, though I don't think you'll have much difficulty with that."
"I won't?"
She gives you a sidelong glance. "With powers as strong as yours? Living quietly won't even be an option.."
Wow, she's saying that and she doesn't even know about the possibly upcoming Titan War. Then again, it's not surprising. Every story about demigods you've read from Greek myth has been exceptional to some degree, and their lives certainly weren't quiet.
"Any advice?"
"Hmm, you said you can only do it on plants?"
"Yea."
"If you stick to stuff that's not too esoteric, you can probably pass it off as power you inherited from Mom. Anything more than that and anyone with more than a passing familiarity with magic could tell what you're doing. I'm surprised the drunkard doesn't know. Hmm, he might just be sitting on that info though. He's not exactly feeling very charitable towards Dad right now is he?" she says with a catlike grin.
"Not really, no. What concepts could I disguise as Mom's power? I've been thinking about trying out Life."
She seems to visibly perk up at that. "That would work. I can't imagine it being easy for you to grasp Life though, it's such a broad idea. Life is the very state of being alive, though I don't think you'd find that very useful. Life can mean so many other things, though. Being full of life could make you lively and full of energy, hale and vigorous. Being alive means you can still grow..." She spins around as she continues to describe the various ways you could interpret Life. The skirt of her dress flares out as she does so and the flowers binding you seem a bit brighter than before.
As she finishes, her energy and the magic in the air diminish. "Since you're a beginner. I'd recommend trying to focus on only one aspect of life at a time when you use it."
"So I should train separately with the different aspects?"
"Nope!" she says cheerfully, turning around to boop you on the nose with a finger. Her hand passes through the veritable layer of flowers with ease. "It's all Life."
You open your mouth to ask another question about concepts, but she cuts you off.
"I think we're done with that topic for now. What else do you want to know? Come on, I can practically feel your burning curiosity you know. Youth is quite a broad concept as well. Oh, and don't worry. I won't tell anyone except Mom about you, and that's only 'cause she'd find out anyway and then wonder why I didn't tell her."
Now that you've had a bit of time to calm down, your thoughts turn to your friends above ground. They must be worried, wondering where you vanished off to. You hope they're alright. Kurt could probably convince Blossom not to do anything reckless, but you still wish you could be with them.
Of course, asking about them would be a waste of the opportunity before you. After all, it's not often that you'll get a goddess telling you to ask as many questions as you'd like. Instead, you decide to ask a question that's been bothering you and probably several other people for a while.
"Do you know why Blossom's leg couldn't normally be healed?"
"Oooh! Having me keep your secret and then immediately asking about someone else's!" She pauses and you wonder if you've asked something you shouldn't have. "I like you!" she says, while glancing back with an amused expression on her face.
"Uh, if you don't want to tell me-"
"Luckily for you, I never promised to keep their secret. I'm so curious about why you asked. Are you simply curious, or out for revenge?"
"Umm-"
"Oh, but then it wouldn't be fun if I just told you. I don't mind giving you a hint though. Oh, and I'll tell you who didn't curse her."
"Ok," you say slowly.
"Well, it wasn't her mom. Despite the way she presents herself, Aphro cares for her kids in her own way. She wouldn't cripple one of them like this. Well, unless it played into some love story hse was setting up, but that's not the case this time. No, it was a different god, one who might find it ironic."
You wait for her to say more, but she doesn't "That's it?" you say before your brain can catch up with your mouth.
She turns to face you and pouts. As she does so a lock of her hair drapes itself over her face, covering one eye. She blows it back into place, still pouting. "Come on, that was loads of information."
It takes you a moment to work it through, but she's sort of right. The hint implies both that the perpetrator is male and a god with enough influence or power to avoid Aphrodite's wrath. You wonder if her nickname for Aphrodite means anything, but you can't think of any possible meaning to attribute to it. All that doesn't even count the direct part of the hint.
"You're right, I'm sorry."
"Aww, don't look so down. Aren't you having fun?"
"I, Uh…" you're not entirely sure how to respond to that. A lot of things can be fun, but you're not entirely sure being immobilized by flowers and dragged through a tunnel in the Underworld counts.
"Why am I tied up?" you change the subject.
"So you don't escape, silly!"
"Will you let me out if I promise not to run away?"
"Nope!"
Something is changing, maybe the air? You feel like you're closer to the surface. Persephone seems to react to the change as well, starting to skip. Your mobile prison moves faster to keep up with her.
"Ooh, ooh! My turn! Who's your dad and what's he like?"
You are momentarily confused, trying to work out how she doesn't know who your dad is if she sent you flowers. Possibly magic, but you think it's more likely that she's just asking for your opinion.
"Well, dad's a park ranger, though he doesn't roam around one of the big national parks. He sticks to the smaller state parks in and around New York City…"
She stops asking about your home life right around the time that you close in on the surface. You can tell both by the literal light at the end of the tunnel and that the plants above you are within your range now.
"Don't you wanna know anything about me?"
"Is the Underworld a nice place to live?" you ask the first thing that comes to your mind.
"I'm sure the people in Elysium are having a great time," she says, purposefully misinterpreting the question. "As for me… Well, it's not as if I live in squalor down there, but I do find myself yearning for the surface after a few months. I just wish my schedule wasn't so rigid. I suppose it's best not to mess too much with the seasons though," she says, her voice taking a bit of a somber tone.
You grasp for another topic, "What's it like being married to Hades?" Smooth.
She laughs… happily? You think that's happy laughter, hopefully not hysteria. "Well, our marriage didn't start out in the best place. I mean honestly, who proposes by kidnapping a girl and forcing her to stay at your house. I think I stayed mad at him for a couple of centuries, which may not be a long time for other gods to hold onto a grudge, but it's definitely a long time for me. He did spend all our time together trying to make it up to me, though so I forgave him. He listens to me and respects me and he doesn't ignore his own faults. Well, for the most part, but at least he's not like his brothers." She pauses, seeming to consider her words as she finally steps out of the tunnel into the light of a rising sun. She gives you a small, reserved smile as the sun crosses her face. "I do love him though. It's not perfect, but nothing is, and for gods, marriage can be an eternity of spectacularly bad feelings. I'm glad that didn't happen to me.
She sits herself down in a small clearing in what's presumably the same forest you went into last night.
"Now shush, your friends are almost here," she says, and you notice she's plucked the flowers out of your hair. The three are joined by another, an iris that seems to give off a power similar in feeling to Persephone's.
You try and say something, but find that you cannot make noise. Then, two people burst through the underbrush surrounding the clearing. You look up and make eye contact with Kurt.
"Hello," Persephone greets them.
Kurt's eyes snap to her. "Lady Persphone," he says, "It's an honor to meet you."
"Oh, no need to be so formal. I was just having a friendly chat with my step-brother. Sorry for taking him away without telling you by the way," she says, not sounding sorry in the slightest.
You can't see her face, but you're sure she's delighting in the dumbfounded expression Kurt is currently making. He seems to need a moment to process what's happening, which Persephone takes to skip right up to Blossom, looking to all the world like an innocent girl.
"Now let's see, " Persephone says as she starts to examine Blossom's legs, invading her personal space. "Just as I suspected," she continues.
"You can heal me?"
"Well, technically it's closer to Renewal, but I'm sure you can ask 'ole Sammy boy about that later."
Blossom lets out a slightly hysterical, "Ha!"
The flowers in Persephone's hands seem to glow even brighter. The goddess shifts a bit, which blocks your view of what's happening. You wonder if she did that on purpose. All you can see now is a faint glow peeking out from in front of her.
"There we go! All done." Persephone hops back. "Word of warning: just because you can walk doesn't mean you know how." You can't see the flowers anymore, so they must have been used up.
Blossom hesitates, then tentatively takes a step without the assistance of her crutches. She gasps as her foot remains steady. She tries to take another, but trips. Luckily, Kurt catches her before she can faceplant. Tears are running down her face now.
"Thank you so much!" she half-sobs.
"Don't worry about it," Persephone says easily, her tone warm. "This was a great excuse to see my favorite brother, and I have many of those so he has competition for the spot."
Was that last bit directed at you?
At this point, the flowers release you from your petalled prison and you rush over to Blossom's side. She clutches at you, murmuring "Thank you," over and over. For a moment, you freeze, then you return her hug, wrapping your arms around her as best you can.
After a bit, everyone calms down and Blossom practices walking a bit. It's pretty clear she needs more practice.
"So, how are we gonna get back now?" Kurt asks conversationally.
"I have just the thing!" Persephone says before you can suggest anything.
She reaches into the slightly collapsed pile of flowers that you were held in and pulls out…
Three totally ordinary bus tickets.
You give her a flat look. "How are we even going to find the bus stop?"
She gives you a grin you've become very familiar with. "I'm sure it'll be an adventure."
Your trip to the bus stop and then back home is rather uneventful. Well, except for the fact that Blossom can walk some of the time at least. The honest joy and wonder she expresses are infectious though, and by the time you get back to camp, she's moving around on her own for extended periods. It's also decided that this year's bead is going to portray a basket with four flowers in it. One each to represent the ones you collected.
By the time you have to leave for school, you almost ask to stay, but it's probably better to finish your second, and last, year of high school.

Votes for the next chapter:
Been a while, but I'm glad that we've finally made it to the end of the first Quest. Hopefully, you've learned a bit about what goes on in the background of the Percy Jackson Universe. If you haven't, hopefully, you found this rollercoaster enjoyable.
As to any questions about the benefits of asking Persephone about various concepts, the limiting factor wasn't what she was able to teach you, rather it was how much she was willing to teach you, so the benefits were the same for all concepts. Of course, asking about some of them may have… not resulted in as good of a reaction.
It takes you a moment to work it through, but she's sort of right. The hint implies both that the perpetrator is male and a god with enough influence or power to avoid Aphrodite's wrath. You wonder if her nickname for Aphrodite means anything, but you can't think of any possible meaning to attribute to it. All that doesn't even count the direct part of the hint.
