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?

video.
And the fact that she's not marching down here right now and making him kick into high gear is a little concerning. She probably still hasn't had her boyfriend, and this is probably a really, really stupid question to ask, but hey, Leo is the king of dumb questions. ] ...Are you okay? That dude, uh--Jackson, he's not here, is he?
[ Rachel he vaguely remembers--the redhead Oracle girl who scared the sweet jesus out of him and Jason when Piper passed out with her. She seemed nice, when she wasn't all...oracle-y. ]
video.
[ sucks right? but what sucks more is hearing that, jackson, and annabeth steels over. shakes her head before taking a breath and resettling. it's not like it isn't obvious how unhappy she is right now. ]
No, he's not. [ a beat, and then a thought. ] Leo, what's the last thing you remember?
video.
...yeah, that explains the pissiness. he hopes annabeth finds that dude someday, because she always looks pretty pissed when he's not around. a part of leo is curious how much she changes when he's here, because these are the kind of things leo wonders about his friends. he makes sort of a sympathetic face, but cocks his head and thinks about it. ] Putting Festus' head on the Argo II. Why? Did someone steal my memories or something?!
video.
[ wow, does that sound a little too familiar, leo? possibly. but their days on the argo II have been long and hard and she can't help the way she's let herself get a little more comfortable around the lot of them. after all, with her falling into tartarus, the fate of the world is kind of in their hands.
but then she has to think, has to remember, and for a second her eyes get really dark before it passes. oh. oh. ] Putting it on, you mean back at camp? We haven't left for New Rome yet?
video.
leo cocks his head, making a comically confused face. ] We left for New Rome? [ a beat ] Everything worked?!
video.
and then leo makes that face, and annabeth is reminded about the whole 'time' but and all she can do is smile. ] Yeah, you fixed up the Argo II and we set off on the next quest.
