[A messy-haired teenage boy is eyeing the computer with an expression somewhere between dubious, irritated, and relieved] One minute I’m falling to Tartarus, the next I’m stuck on a giant turtle and surrounded by water. I’m pretty sure that no one can blame me for thinking that sounds too good to be true.

We are on a giant turtle, right? Like, I didn’t hit my head and hallucinate that or anything, there’s definitely a turtle with a whole city happening on its back and everything? Has anyone tried talking to it yet? Because I could really use an answer that isn’t ‘ask the Emperor’ right now.

[He glances down at his hands and falls silent for a moment. One of them shows signs of the skin being ripped and torn, but it’s the other one he seems to be focussing on. He clenches his hand fruitlessly for a second, before glancing back up at the camera] Uh. I’m Percy, by the way. I’m looking for a girl called Annabeth Chase. She’s tall, has curly blonde hair, and a bad attitude. If you tell her I’m looking for her, she’ll probably start badmouthing me. Or – Frank, Hazel, Nico, Leo, Piper. Jason, even. If you’re here, get in touch.

[The feed cuts on to reveal a young teenage girl in a slightly dirty and definitely revealing dress, a shaky smile on her face as well as a slightly bemused look. Above her heart, if someone looks hard enough, they’ll see a floral tattoo. She tucks a strand of blonde hair behind her ear.] Um, hey. [What now? She rubs her hands over her bare arms, going quiet for a second before taking a deep breath.] So. This seriously happened, huh? Universal kidnapping or whatever it is. You know, I was... I was supposed to be going home finally. I was supposed to be going back to school and picking my life up again and...

[She falls silent again.] Not that anyone actually wants to hear all that, just one more person whining about things. I don’t want to be a whiner. [Yes she does. Fuck all this injustice.]

Anyway. [There’s a bright grin on her face now.] My name’s Vanessa. And I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of the nearest clothing store? Or a mall> I’m, uh... Not really dressed for whatever this is. [She feels really uncomfortable being in her low cut white dress.] That’s what I get for being dressed to go partying, right? [Ahahaha......]
