[Well, it looks like the Lady Artemis has heard little Arin's prayer, and has decided to exact retribution on Ares' son - as well as everyone else who did nothing to stop him - in a big way.

Despite falling asleep in their beds last night, no cabin will be filled except the Artemis cabin, who have been pardoned. In fact, for a moment, campers will probably be confused as to where they've come to. They certainly didn't go to bed in the forest.

Once they look around, though, they'll notice some different things. Maybe they're much lower to the ground than usual or have extra limbs or appendages. Maybe they can smell better, or fly into the sky.

Regardless, it won't take them too long to realize that they've been turned into some sort of animal, bound to the forest by an invisible wall, and forest natives won't be able to understand their cries for help - only other campers-turned animals will. Your mission, campers? Survive the day, and try not to get eaten.

[ The first thing that registers as Leo slowly starts to awaken is that his bed was hard all of a sudden. Well, not hard hard, maybe, but harder than the bed was supposed to be. Doesn't feel like he's sleeping on a wrench again, though, or a worktable.

...Somebody moved him, didn't they. They are so in for a prank war when he finds out who did it.

Groggily opening one eye, Leo finds himself staring at something very large, very green, and very close to his face. Then he looks down, and is met with the sight of very large granules of dark brown, almost black... stuff. And then there are his arms, and he's pretty sure he's not supposed to be black, or shiny, or this stubby, for that matter. Slowly, he starts to realize that that thing on his head? Is actually attached to him. A tail. He has a tail, and it has curled around in his sleep to rest on his head. Oh, and that green thing? The dark stuff? A bit more inspection tells him that he's in a really big terrarium.

Salamander, he'll eventually realize. Leo... is a salamander. Fantastic way to start a Saturday.

What the heck happened while he was asleep?

Okay. Next step: rehumanizing himself. How to do that? ...Good question. Chiron might have an answer. Time to find Chiron. ]

[It seems like no matter where Scott goes today, something goes wrong that will get him embarrassed. He's a legacy of Victoria. He's quick, nimble, and can do crazy acrobatics on the battlefield, but that doesn't mean for a second that he doesn't get himself into some stupid situations.

Right now, he's stuck as a St. Bernard puppy, who's gotten himself stuck Winnie The Pooh style in a fallen tree trunk close to Leo.

Is Camp Jupiter rebuilt yet?]

[ So there Leo is, cruising by to hopefully get back to camp, when he is met with the sight of a large dog stuck in a tree. He takes a moment to stare, mystified as to how the poor dog might have gotten itself into this situation.

And then he bursts out laughing. ]

[Finally, finally, Scott manages to get his head unstuck from the log. If he was in a cartoon, there would have been a wet-sounding 'pop' noise.

Jeez, what is it with people laughing at him today, and where's it coming from? He runs in a circle, trying to sniff out the source.]

Okay, bird, I know you're here.

[commandertoolbelt]

[ Leo parks himself on a rock, still snickering. ]

Why's it gotta be a bird, man?

[ Isn't that racist or something. ]
