Well, okay. I'm used to really weird stuff happening by now but this goes up to a 7 in Leo's scale of weird.

I mean this is all fine and dandy [He waggles the pamphlets in front of the cameras, not-really refraining from rolling his eyes because really? Pamphlets? So 40ies.] but I was kind of in the middle of something back at home. Something... important.

And dog-tags aren't really my thing anyway. [He waggles them as well, making the metal 'clink'.] And apparently this here is going to be my room? F Y I I don't plan on staying in here long enough to need one so this is kinda creepy. Is the mist playing around with me head? Again? Because seriously I am pretty sure that's gonna cause some permanent damage and I don't mean to imply I'd sue but [Have a dramatic finger pointing out right at the screen] I'd totes sue.

Soooo Jason? Piper? Percy? Annabeth? Hazel? ...Uh, Frank? [Yes he's indeed calling for Frank this is serious stuff going on here.]

If you're around just tell me what's going on so we can get the hell out, okay?

[ It's just a normal day, nothing strange or out of the ordinary happening, and then that voice comes through his phone.

That voice.

And suddenly he's scrambling for his video because he hasn't heard that voice in months and- ]

2/3

[jupiterson]

[ That face, Leo's face! Gods of Olympus, Jason has literally never been so happy to see anyone in his entire life.

Okay okay he's just ignoring all that sass, because Leo. ]

3/3 video

[jupiterson]

[ He flicks his own video on and, hi Leo, here is Jason's smiling face.

Also, he seems oddly bereft of head injuries, which may or may not be notable. ]

Leo!

You have no idea how glad I am to see you, man. Are you okay? Where are you?! I'm coming to find you.

[teamme]

Oh my gods never take so long to answer again, I was totally freaking out over here. [He's just so happy to see him, everything else will be noticed later.]

I'm- uh [A look around] Right outside the tower where I appeared and the creepy voice talked to me? Where are the others?

video;

[jupiterson]

I'm on my way.

[ The video briefly goes dark while Jason tosses it down and grabs his jacket. Then his face is back and he's hurrying through the streets. ]

Dude…the others aren't here. It's just us. I mean, until you were here, it was just me. There's other people here, though, lots of them. You'll see them on that phone. Don't move, okay?

voice.

[ man i'm sure what leo wanted to hear most in the world right now is some scathing fourteen year old laughter, amiright. ]

Hahahaha, oh my god, I seriously can't even get annoyed at you guys anymore, this is just getting sad. Welcome to the City, dipshit, let us know if threatening to sue gets Lachesis off your back. You should probably make yourself at home in the interim, though.

voice.

[teamme]

[Leo is the king of laughing at inadequate moments but even he has to lineface at that.]

Excuuuse me for trying to get back home, expert.

[she just doesn't know where to start

like for example, why only 7, how in the world are you going to sue, and are you full of justice because justice is important 'k

but she decides to go with:]

Sorry to break it to you, but you're trapped. Don't worry, though; most people here are really nice!

[teamme]

[He scratches the back of his neck, wrinkling his nose a bit. Leo is like a walking nervous tick right now.]

That's nice, super nice even but I- that's not really the issue, I wasn't really lying when I said I had to go back.

So define 'trapped'?

video

[uponsharpswords]

Trapped, as in, you've been kidnapped and dumped here and you can't get out.

Time stops in your world though! I can't really explain how that happens, but that's what I've been told!

[ might be sounding a bit too hopeful, because she really wants what she's saying to be true ]

video

[teamme]

Wait hold on what? Time stops in there while I'm here? [That's new information and actually kind of cool, if a little creepy]

[symmachy]

Only a seven?

[teamme]

You'd be surprised. If I do have to stay in here forever like people are telling me it might go all the way up to a solid 8.

Might.

[symmachy]

Really. I'd like to hear some of your stories some day.

[teamme]

You, me, dinner and my stories? It looks like I'll be trapped in here for long anyway, might as well get to know the people in here.

[And might as well start with the cute lady]

[aggressiveapathy]

No.

[teamme]

[Oh Hello you're cute]

Yes?

Video;

[aggressiveapathy]

[She gets that sometimes.]

Maybe.

[teamme]

Okaaay I'm gonna take a wild guess here and assume you aren't going to be helpful if you can avoid it.

[recurve]

F Y I, you're kind of stuck here long term. [A beat.] Bro.

[teamme]

[Aaand another cute girl he might not mind this place so much after all.]

That's what people keep telling me, guess I'll have to buy it for the time being. [Doesn't sound very convinced though.]

Has no one ever left? Ever?

[recurve]

Oh sure, people come and go all the time. The problem is, we have no way of controlling it.

[redshifting]

Mist plays with your head? Really?

[teamme]

Like you don't even know, could you believe I didn't realize my Coach was a satyr for months?

It's crazy.

[redshifting]

Really?

I'm not actually sure what a satyr is, but it sounds like the sort of thing you'd probably be able to notice!
