first tinker. video!
[ One minute, you're minding your own business in camp, enjoying your victories, and ignoring the impending doom that is becoming a constant cloud over your head, and the next, you're appearing in a mansion.
At first, Leo's ninety percent sure he's getting some weird dream vision from his dad again. Supposedly Zeus put a stop to those, so he's a little impressed with Hephaestus' tenacity, but after a hard pinch to the arm, he's sort of figuring out he's actually awake right now, and someone just transported him out of nowhere to somewhere else. Was it Gaea, or was it something else entirely? No one had ever been able to do this before, and there's something on his person that wasn't there before, like a little phone, so maybe it was his dad--
His mind is racing, to the point where his body is hot to the touch, and then there's no warning and he just lights up, flaring wild orange and red in the middle of the hallway. It's that that brings him back to the present, and Leo swears, loudly, and tries to calm himself down--by the time his fire's been put out, he's standing, butt naked, in the middle of the entrance hall.
Awesome.
The little device he found himself with, however, is unharmed. The demigod pretty much scrambles across the room to find a tapestry to duck behind, covering the important bits, then squints at the device, just laying there, innocently.
There's a moment of indecision before he dashes across the room, grabs it, and runs back. A little curious tinkering reveals the capabilities of the device, and Leo clicks record on the video setting. He looks a little singed, and is holding the device far enough away from his face so that you can just see the tapestry and part of his naked chest.]
So... Am I posting to some kind of kidnapee network? Uh, hi, my name's Leo, and I think I just got kidnapped too, and, uh...
[ He winces, and tries for a smile that might be sheepish. ] Can anybody bring me some clothes?

no subject
Or not in Rome. Leo kinda wishes he was back in Rome.
Either way, he puts on a smile he thinks is charming and pulls the curtain up a little more. ] It's not smoking, I just got a little out of control! You, however, are smokin.
no subject
[...man, are you in for a major disappointment.]
No, I'm not.
I just told you it's bad for you. I even used to yell at my cat when I caught him sneaking cigarettes in between meals.
no subject
but, leo is completely ADHD enough to get distracted by that. ] Your cat smokes cigarettes?! That's awesome. I mean, that's horrible, but it's kinda awesome.
no subject
Please don't encourage him.
I've been trying to tell him for years that it's not as cool as John Travolta in a leather jacket made it look. But he won't listen.
no subject
leo blinks, again, and opens his mouth in an awed grin. ] Dude, he even wears a leather jacket?! That is sweet. Maybe you can, uh, convince him to ditch the cigarettes and keep the jacket. I have gotta meet this cat.
no subject
[She also turns sad for a moment, a flash of loneliness in her eyes as she looks down.]
I wish you could.
He's back home, with my parents. I haven't seen him since I came to Wonderland. He didn't come with me.
no subject
How, uh... how long has it been since you saw him?
no subject
It was months ago. I forget how long exactly, but I'm pretty sure my birthday hasn't passed yet, so less than a year.
no subject
[ oh this is bad. bad bad bad bad bad. ]
no subject
But I'm pretty sure I was still in Wonderland then. Just...under it.
