[The face that appears in the video feed is young with golden eyes and doesn’t seem to be aware that her console is broadcasting video. She actually looks a little confused as her brow crinkles as she tries to remember what the kedan said about using the console. For those actually paying close attention there’s a hint of concern in her gaze. ]

Oh…

[There’s a slight shuffle as she props her chin in one hand and leans on her elbow, her other arm crossed over her chest.]

Hello. [Another pause and her lips purse for a moment. This is almost as weird as sending an Iris Message honestly.] My name is Hazel Levesque. I was curious if anyone might be willing to give me another quick tutorial on how to use this console. They went through it really fast.

[She falls silent again, as she tries to figure out if she should ask about her friends.]

I’m looking for my friends if they’re here. [The way she says it makes it clear that she’s torn about whether or not she really wants to know if her friends are or aren’t in Tu Vishan, but she covers it up by moving on to the next matter of business and making her voice shift to a more chipper tone. The image however, continues to hold a certain amount of concern and the crinkle between her brows still hasn’t gone away although it isn’t so much confusion anymore as it is worry about what could be happening at home without her.]

And maybe a job, as I’ve been told I will need to find one in order to be a productive member of the community. I’m good with horses and art. I hope those are useful to someone here, but I won’t mind jobs like cleaning or organizing either, they were regulars on the duty roster back home.

[He's leaning on his desk, looking casually Captainly.]

I can give you a basic run-down on the consoles. They're pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

[liveagain]

Thank you. Technology isn't really my strong point.

[jirk]

It's not for everybody, trust me on that one.

[He lifts a hand in a bit of a salute.]

Name's Jim.

[eye_of_isis]

Who're your friends?

[video]

[liveagain]

Frank, Percy, and Leo. Do you know any of them?

[video]

[eye_of_isis]

If by "Leo" you mean "Annoying Spanish Elf", then yeah. And they're not the only ones here, assuming you know Annabeth and Jason and the rest of that lot. Are you one of them?

["Them" meaning "demigod".]

[ Have a super excited winter spirit, Hazel! Assuming you can see and hear him and not an empty feed. ]

You're Hazel! Nico was looking for you when he got here!

[liveagain]

Nico's here? Where is he? [You just gave her some of the best news all day Jack, thank you. She is so grateful.]

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

He arrived here about a month ago and the very first thing he did was ask whether you were here too.

[ He called you his Important Person, Hazel. ]

He's in the Metal Sector but I don't have his exact suite number, sorry.

[iguanasolution]

Hazel! [Guess who scrambled to get the computer as soon as he heard a certain voice.]

Are you alright?! When did you get here? What's your suite? I'll come get you. And show you how the console works if you want.

[liveagain]

Frank? [She is totally relieved to hear his voice and see his face you can't even begin to understand.]

I'm okay, not injured or anything either. [She can't help but smile at the rapid succession of his questions.] I got here today. I think they said WO-1D when they dropped me off. I would really like that.

[She pauses because she feels like she has to ask after what that girl said, but she needs to figure out to phrase it.] Who else is here? A girl said that Annabeth and Jason were here as well as you, Leo, and Percy? [She looking for him to say Nico's here, to confirm it really cause someone else already mentioned his name. But she doesn't want to admit it outright, just like she doesn't want to get her hopes up.]

[iguanasolution]

[A breath of relief when she says she's alright. He had come here unharmed, there really wasn't any reason to suspect she would be hurt but still, one never knows with the kind of lives they lead.]

That's the Wood sector, I think. I'm on Earth, I will get there as fast as I can- well yeah, Annabeth is here. So are Percy and Jason and Nico. And Leo. [No there wasn't a noticeable pause at all before Leo's name.]

There are some people from the Greek camp we don't know as well.

[Seriously, almost right on the heels of Rachel, it's sure feeling like demigods or those related can only show up closely in twos. But like Frank, it's another weird experience of technically seeing Hazel for the first time, despite getting to know her through the experience with the Emperor.]

Hazel, hey. Welcome to Keeliai, though I can't say it's the best time for it.

video

[liveagain]

Annabeth hi. Thank you I think. [What exactly does that mean not exactly the best time? Head tilt although honestly she isn't surprised when is it ever the best time for any of them?]

So not the best time?

video

[sophos]

[She sighs a little.] Things here haven't been... so great. The turtle's ill, and it's starting to hit the residents now, too. Any abilities or powers people have have begun to dampen. A lot.

[Annabeth doesn't want to go blabbing over what Hazel can do publicly; she's like 99% sure the younger girl wouldn't appreciate it, but what she says is probably enough for her to make assumptions.]

[ozones]

Hazel!

_{( Jason tries to work up some excitement at her arrival, but all-in-all it's been a pretty miserable couple of days, and he still thinks she might be mad at him for being a jerk about Nico, and also her arriving confirms all his fears about the 7 being dragged here in some conspiracy. )}

Are you alright? When'd you get here?

[liveagain]

Hi Jason.

[She isn't exactly warm or excited either. She is still just a little miffed about the Nico not trustworthy thing. But she'll get over it eventually she promises.]

Yes I am. A little concerned but okay. Today.

[ozones]

I wish I could say that being here would up the chances of being okay tomorrow, too, but. It's a bit of a mixed bag.

[kelpful]

Hazel! You're here! [Obviously Percy, well done. There's a loud woof from behind him, and a massive black shadow can be seen in the background. Mrs O'Leary says hello, too.

He starts out grinning, but his expression dims a little] Where are you? What's the last thing you remember?

[liveagain]

Percy! I am! [She is happy to see that Percy is here. Cause it's Percy and she trusts him.

But her happiness chills about as quickly as Percy's expression dims] Wood Sector. Storming out of the mess hall. [That last part is said softer than the rest. She isn't exactly proud of how she reacted even if she did feel it was acceptable]

[kelpful]

[Her answer seems to relieve him, though, and his grin shoots straight back onto his face.] Really? That's great - uh. I mean, that you're not from way back in the past. You could've not recognised me, and that would've sucked. [Is he rambling? He might be rambling] Can I come find you, or is Frank going to show you around?

( video )

[necromania]

[ Nico takes longer than the others, if only because he sees her post and has to convince his racing thoughts and overwhelming relief to take a backseat. there will be time for that later. telling Frank that Hazel would show up was an obligation. he believed it because he had to make someone else believe it.

it's something else to actually see Hazel, here, and not alone on the Argo II. ]

You're here. [ right, right. glancing down because not gonna feelings. ] You can slow down on the cleaning fever. Spring's behind us.

( video )

[liveagain]

[There's a long pause for her too. She was still mostly sure he was trapped. People could say one thing but believing it to be true without actually seeing his face was hard.]

I am. [it's okay she sort of gets it and if nothing else she feels the same Nico] Okay.

[She pauses again although it's shorter this time. How does she phrase this, that is the important question.] How did you get free?

video;

[fotia]

[He had honestly been expecting her to show up, after the whole let's-start-dumping-demigods-on-the-turtle theme going on, but he's still kind of at a loss of words now that she's actually here. He can't even think of anything witty/funny/annoying to say, so all he says to start off conversation is,]

Hey, Hazel.

[liveagain]

Hi Leo. [What's wrong Leo, you're usually more hyper than this? She doesn't know what else to say she's still miffed at him. She'll forgive him eventually promise.]
