[There’s a beautiful, dark skinned girl with choppy hair looking at ease with the console as she turns the video feed on. She actually looks pretty calm, other than the nervous movement of her hands, as if she doesn’t know what to do with them, and the way she keeps looking around her, as if she can’t believe where she is. After a second, she gives a hesitant smile.] It’s kind of nice to use one of these and not worry about any of the problems that come with it. [Problems being that technology and demigods don’t exactly mix, you know.]

I was wondering if anyone could fill me on the situation? I couldn’t get any answers from the guys who brought me to this suite, which is really nice, by the way. [She sounds a little put out by that, the fact that she couldn’t get answers.] My name is Piper. [No last name, in case people here know her dad, and then she has to go through that awkward explanation phase that, yes, her dad was that hot guy in those movies.]

I’m also looking for my friends. Particularly a guy named Jason. Blond, really good looking, he likes to follow rules. [A grin now.] Although, I guess if any of them are here, they’ll find me this way.

[ what is even up with all these teenagers being here. what the hell kind of child army is this. ]

What information are you missing? I can send a file. [ and because this is just bugging him ] How old are you exactly?

You have a file? [Except she can't really read.] Is it, by any chance, translated into Ancient Greek? [8D?

And then Piper makes a face. Dude, her age is nothing.] Not that it's really your business, but I'm fifteen.

Yes? [ IS THAT WEIRD 8| ] I'm a detective, we live on files. [ A pause and a lifted eyebrow ] No, sorry, I'm not... fluent in Ancient Greek.

Sorry. Child soldiers just tends to strike me as unethical. Imagine that. [ regardless of how badass they are okok ]

[A beat.] I'm... dyslexic. [Reading is really, really hard for her.]

Where I'm from, teenagers tend to be heroes. [Because demigods die at an early age.]

...Except for in Ancient Greek? [ Just... saying. But whatever, moving on. ] I can make an audio file if you still need it.

[ Well, he's not saying she couldn't be, but there's something inherent in kids being the ones to fight things (coughcortexiphantrialscough) that he's super not okay with. ] Where I'm from it's illegal. And teenagers are allowed to enjoy or... not enjoy being teenagers.

My brain is kind of hardwired for it. [Well, if the demigod cat is out of the bag, she supposes there's no reason to not talk about it.] That would be great! [And then she can compare it to what Annabeth has told her. To see if there's a broader picture to put together.]

It's not like we're part of some government army here. Not that people in the government don't realize we exist, since most people in power happen to be demigods. Which is actually pretty terrible, like saying that normal mortals can't be. [A smile.] I'm enjoying being a teenager. I just happen to also be saving the world so that I can continue enjoying it.

Give a few hours, I'll send it over. [ Hardwired... is a strange thought. All of that is strange, honestly. Why would you be dyslexic in all languages but one :| ]

...Demigod. [ That part just sort of sticks out. A lot. ]

I appreciate it a lot. Thank you. [Being a warrior is hard, okok.]

Half-god, half-human, all mortal.

Don't mention it.

[ uuuhhhmmmmmm. :| just going to. pretend everyone here doesn't sound crazy. ] And that's a common thing where you're from. [ he is trying so hard to make his brain okay with this. ]

Depends on what you mean by common. It's not a thing the mortal population knows about, if that's what you're asking. [But common enough to have two different camps of demigod children.]

I... guess it's sort of moot, then. I wouldn't have anything to compare it to, given I'm part of the ignorant masses either way. [ Shrug. Not a bitterly said thing, more joking if anything, actually. It is weird, though, thinking there'd actually be global secrets he isn't in on, after all the shit Fringe deals in that the public hears nothing of. ]

Considering most monotheistic religons would flip their holy shit over a son or daughter of god and a mortal- [ lol jesus ] -I'm guessing we're not talking God-god?

Let's just say it's more common than you might think, where I'm from. [Public leaders, war heroes, villains. All demigods. Kind of sucks if you're a regular mortal, actually.

And then there's a rapid shake of her head.] We're talking Greek and Roman here, strictly speaking.
