001 ♌ [video]

[The video feed starts and a miniature metal wind-up replica of Buford is walking across the table between Leo and his starfish communicator (which, out of sight, is held up by a stand he made last week.)]

So what's there to do here when the bubble isn't broken and filled with water? I've been here a little over a week and I'm curious what you all did for fun and to fill the time.

[He pulls out some pipe cleaners from his tool belt and starts fiddling around with them as he talks. He looks like he's hopped up on loads of caffeine, but it's just his severe case of ADHD.]

I've been helping with the repairs, but that's not going to take forever. So what is there to do once that's done? I know some of you have been here for more than a year... That's a lot of time to fill. I hope I'm not here that long. I know time doesn't move back home, so it's not like I'm missing anything... but I'd like to get back and help my friends finish saving the world.

I wasn't going to use either of those, but since you brought them up, are you?

[He's not going to say what he meant because he's not really sure himself.]

You've got some nerve! You're lucky I am human again.

So what were you when you weren't human?

[So not helping things, Leo.]

For over a thousand years, I granted the wishes of women who'd been scorned by men, exacting bloody vengeance and bringing forth chaos to the envy of lesser demons.

[And Leo thought Annabeth was scary... He is now properly terrified and glad she's now a human.]

Oh.

[He has nothing more to say to that.]

Sadly that's all behind me now. I'll have to settle for making you pee your pants.

I'm not that scared of you. No pants peeing for me.

I could get more descriptive.

I'll pass.

Then the least you could do is hit yourself in the face a few times.

[he gives a WTF?! look.]

How about I don't and just say I did?

That's silly. I can see you clearly in the little video screen.

I did it off screen.

Did not.

How would you know if you couldn't see me?

You blatantly said you were going to lie to me about it.

I could have been lying about lying.

[excuse the teenage boy logic.]

Don't be foolish.

[He knows he's already pushed his luck, so he attempts to change the subject...]

Do you like parties?

Parties? Most people are less obvious when they're trying to change the subject.

[...but he doesn't seem in any hurry to punch himself so.]

Why, is there going to be one?

Yeah, Prince Gumball wants to throw one.

There is a prince of gumballs?

I think he's like prince of candy land or something and he's made out of gum.

You're pulling my leg.

I swear on the River Styx that I'm not pulling your leg. [That's a serious oath where he's from.]
