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?

Now that's good news... but are we supposed to just get money for doing nothing then?

That much, yeah. They give us the room and that cash as a way or providing for us. It's not much, though, so a lot of people have regular jobs too.

[ He gives Leo a little smile. ] Were you planning to do nothing?

Do I look like the kind of guy to do nothing to you? [Even though he does have a problem with authority and tends to do whatever he wants, that might make it harder to get a job. But the alternative is staying at home doing nothing so...]

So no going to school or whatever for us?

No, I've actually met you. You're that guy who's always doing something. That's why I don't think it'll be a problem.

[ At that second question, Jason pauses. ]

There is a school. I think it's run by ImPorts. I'll be honest, I didn't look at it too hard. I didn't think it was the right place for me. You know, technically, the only school I've ever been to is in Camp Jupiter. I wasn't exactly jumping to get into a normal school; I'd rather keep up with my training. That's what I've been doing.

[Leo shrugs as he reaches to run his fingers through his hair. Piper and Jason know about his... past so there's no sense in dwelling on it- the point is Wilderness school was the one he'd stayed in the longest and even that had been for only a couple of months.

Running away is what he does, and this place wouldn't be any different.] Glad to know I won't be forced to go to class in here, with a little luck I'll get some job working with machines.

You're gonna make me train with you though, aren't you?

[ Jason has no intention of pushing Leo about school. He thinks that’d be about as appealing to his friend as it is to him, and so long as no one is trying to make them do it, he doesn’t see the point. School here won’t help either of them with their quest, anyway.

But training will. He smiles. ]

I thought you might want to. I mean, all those months when you were working on the Argo, you didn’t get to train nearly as much as you should have. It’s been a long time since it’s even just been the two of us.

[ Longer for Jason. He’s missed his friends a lot – Leo and Piper most of all. ]

[Training to battle is really not Leo's favorite thing. Hephaestus' children were meant to build things, not destroy them. Build the machinery to help the troupes out? Absolutely. Fighting one-to-one? Not so much.

But if he's honest with himself, those months seeing everybody train and have fun and play catch the flag while he was working non-stop to get the Argo II working were really not the most pleasant ones.]

You know what? I'd love to get some training on. Just not... too-Roman training? And if you throw a wolf at me I'm out. Just saying.

Dude, I don't even have any wolves. Besides, it couldn't be too Roman-centric unless I had a Legion to command, and I'm as short of that here as I am at home.

[ Though at least here, no one else is directing the Legion against him. That makes a nice change. ]
