1st wave: Video
[Of course Percy's first public post is from underwater. There's the lake fish darting past, and while the video feed is pretty clear the sound is fairly muted. There's garbled, distorted words before the feed turns around to face Percy... Who seems to ask a question before scowling, visibly sighing underwater and letting himself sink to the lake bed.
There's a rush of water and... A personal bubble of air grows around him. Percy also stays dry. There's still very clearly water all around him.]
So that was slightly less awesome than I thought it would be. But as I was saying, look at the cool fish! They seem pretty nice, for fish. Not very chatty though.
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone's thought of building a boat or raft to hang out on when things go... how they're going. It's kinda hard to sneak up on a boat and attack people.
It's an idea anyway.
Speaking of defending things, I can mostly teach how to defend yourself in a fight if anyone wants it. Not guns though, but the whole monsters trying to eat us thing is... Not that new.
[he passes, frowning as if he's barreled past something important to mention.]
Right! I'm Percy, and mostly harmless.
[Nothing about being underwater.]

I cannot believe the html ate up the entire tag >.<]Right, well. It ain't every day you see a human mermaid floating around, but considering your suggestion, something tells me you forgot there's a bunch of people here with special powers that could make sitting out on a boat feel like target practice to them.
[ even if he could do all that... stuff he just did on the air. Dean really is getting a headache trying to adapt to all the crazy things he's seen and he thought he'd seen it all back home in the first place. ]

Different species, as it were.
Also, that's why you have canons and shielding.

Right, just because you don't look like you have a tail don't mean you ain't hiding one.
[ just roll with it. Dean ain't all that particular ]
And that sounds great in theory, but how are you going to manage that and keeping everyone afloat? Sounds to me you'd just blow yourself straight to the other shore.
[ isn't that like, physics or something? ]

[He looks somewhere between amused and concerned about that.]
Not really, I mean... Have you ever watched a pirate movie? They're not rocketing across the Atlantic every fight.
