[angeliaforos]

[On the other side of the rainbow, Gabriel's sitting atop his cabin, which is nothing new. It's pretty common to see the counselor sitting on the roof. He likes being close to the sky. He leans forward, almost conspiratorially, and begins speaking.]

So some of you know about this, some of you don't. I've been hearing a lot of talk around here about...y'know, wondering what the hell happens to us after we're too old for camp. I know for us Greeks, it's always kind of been like - 'okay, good luck', and we end up dying out there in the mortal world. And personally? I'm not big on dying. But the Romans - they had their city, New Rome, and from what I saw, it was a place for them, their families. You could live out a normal life and be safe and not have to worry about opening your door and finding some empousa that wants to chomp on your leg or something.

So that's what I'm thinking. We have enough space here - why the hell don't we have our own city alongside camp, too? For everybody to stay safe. Not just Greeks or Romans or anything. If we have to be stuck here, we might as well be able to have our lives back.

If you're in, you know where to find me.

[He lies back on the roof, and the rainbow fades away.]
