[Jason almost missed it but when he does look back at the screen and notice Deku writing furiously, he blinks in surprise. That...was new. He'd never seen someone take notes like that before.
He wonders if he should ask or just keep going. Jason opts to just keep going, he has a lot of friends with weird or odd habits, so the notebook is actually probably not as strange as it first seems. Although should he be worried that Deku is taking such extensive notes about what sounds like his abilities? He's muttering, so Jason isn't sure if he should address some of the boy's comments or not.
Right, he'll just let that go too. Deku could always just ask. Back to the matter at hand. Time for a crash course in the history of demigods]
This will be a lot easier to explain then. Where I come from the gods, monsters, and legends you know from those mythologies are all real: Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, centaurs, satyrs, nymphs and hundreds of other gods, giants, and monsters all exist. They aren't as out in the open as they were in the height of Greek and Roman times though, instead they moved with humanity and right now their place of power is in North America. The gods still interact with mortals from time to time though, just like in the myths, and sometimes that interaction results in a demigod child.
[He pauses -- he's rushing over a lot, he knows, but he feels weird just saying all of this over the network.]
A child of one of the gods typically gets some of the abilities or traits that god is known for, so a son of Mars would be a very good fighter in battle or a daughter of Aphrodite might be naturally attractive or be able to use Charmspeak to get people to do what they want. But, because of that, we also tend to get hunted by monsters or targeted by other creatures that want to take revenge on our parents, fight us for glory, or sometimes just eat us.
[He doesn't mention his own parentage, cause he doesn't want to brag. He also switches between Roman and Greek god names because he is thinking of specific people while he talks about their parents. He hasn't been here long and already misses them.]
That's where the Camps I mentioned come into play. They are supposed to be both a place of safety and also a place to train to fight and use our abilities to survive out in the real world.
[Wow, that was a lot and he hadn't even gone into that much detail, Jason sighs.]

Sorry, I'm not used to talking that much.
