Book Cult (New and Improved)

Jason LVI

A/N: I just want to clear up a couple things for everyone!
1. Due to plot reasons, I will not bring any more characters from the future. Leo will be the only character from the future.
2. I'm not planning on doing BoO or SoN (due to plot). I'm going to be doing MoA and HoH.
3. Leo's from the timeline in between HoH and BoO.

"Jason LVI," Connor read.

The council was nothing like Jason imagined. For one thing, it was in the Big House rec room, around a Ping-Pong table, and one of the satyrs was serving nachos and sodas. Somebody had brought Seymour the leopard head in from the living room and hung him on the wall. Every once in a while, a counselor would toss him a Snausage.

"Wonder what a Roman council looks like." Annabeth said.

Connor shrugged. "Probably not very fun if there's two people in charge."

Jason looked around the room and tried to remember everyone's name. Thankfully, Leo and Piper were sitting next to him—it was their first meeting as senior counselors.

"We'll show you the ropes." Travis promised Leo. 

Katie narrowed her eyes at him and turned to the son of Hephaestus. "You're better off asking Jake for tips. The last people you'd ever want giving you advice are the Stoll brothers. Especially for something as important as being Senior Counselor."

"Hey!" Travis protested. "We're great counselors!"

"We're the type of leaders who allow a little fun." Connor explained. "There's nothing wrong with that." 

"There is when you're partially responsible for more than half of the pranks on camp!" Katie said.

"It's just a little fun, they never go too far." Travis said.

"It's a summer camp, kids are supposed to have fun and pull a few pranks." Connor added.

"I hope you're used to this by now, they do this at every meeting." Annabeth told Leo with a sigh. Thank the gods, Katie only shows up during the summers.

Clarisse, leader of the Ares cabin, had her boots on the table, but nobody seemed to care.

"It's not like I'd listen if they told me to stop." Clarisse shrugged.

Clovis from Hypnos cabin was snoring in the corner while Butch from Iris cabin was seeing how many pencils he could fit in Clovis's nostrils. Travis Stoll from Hermes was holding a lighter under a Ping-Pong ball to see if it would burn, Connor frowned. 

"Where's me?" Connor complained. "I get why I wasn't mentioned the first time. But how come I'm not brought up here?"

"I guess I'm just more noticeable." Travis gloated.

Connor rolled his eyes. "Guess that explains why your stealth sucks."

and Will Solace from Apollo was absently wrapping and unwrapping an Ace bandage around his wrist. The counselor from Hecate cabin, Lou Ellen something-or-other, was playing "got-your-nose" with Miranda Gardiner from Demeter, except that Lou Ellen really had magically disconnected Miranda's nose, and Miranda was trying to get it back.

"Are you and Miranda full siblings?" Leo asked Katie.

The daughter of Demeter frowned, she looked like she been asked that question a million times before.

"No. It's just a coincidence." Katie simply told him. At least, I hope it's a coincidence.

Jason had hoped Thalia would show. She'd promised, after all—but she was nowhere to be seen.
