Well, Pipes' mom is the goddess of love. Jason's is the king of the gods, but like, Roman flavor. It's an important distinction because apparently Greek and Roman demigods aren't supposed to get along, and there's a whole war about to happen that kind of proves the point.
[ he says this very casually. ]
They're both amazing, though. Pipes has this power called charmspeak that means she could convince anyone of whatever she wanted to, and Jason - he's like the Superman of the crew. It's a bird - it's a plane - no, it's a flying Roman with lightning powers!
Mostly, yeah. There are some satyrs and nymphs at camp, I guess, but I was busy building the ship, so I didn't get to hang out with them as much. We were kind of on a tight deadline.
Technology that's sufficiently advanced can look like magic, yeah. But most of it's really just the parts and programming - except for automatons like Festus. He's definitely got some magic in him.
Yep! I didn't build him originally, so don't ask me exactly how it works because I'm still figuring that part out. But there is definitely some magic worked into his control chip.
Yeah, he was just wandering in the woods around camp for a while before I came. They were going to dismantle him because his wiring got messed up so he was out of control, but I found him before the rest and fixed him up.
[ he's starting to feel a little self-conscious... ]
Yeah, you could say that. No one else could even get close to him, and I guess I got lucky he didn't tear me apart or anything. But he listened to me after that, so there was no need for him to be destroyed, you know? And now he's the mast on my ship, until I can fix him again.

You should tell me more about your friends as we walk over to the stalls.

So are all of your friends demigods or just the ones you're closest to?

Wait, you had to build an entire ship yourself?
no subject
And no, I wasn't totally on my own - the rest of Cabin Nine helped out. But I had to work around the clock, and we still barely finished it in time.
no subject
You really are more impressive than you let people think.
no subject
I'm just a mechanic. It's what we do.
no subject
Well I don't know anything about that sort of thing so it might as well be magic to me.

Mostly I try to be annoying, but it helps to keep people on their toes.

Maybe I just don't want to be that important, so I don't have to let anyone down. Not everyone's up for the whole "hero" thing.
