on apping to Holly Heights

[skiodis]

It's not the idea of the place that I'm against so much as it is you and your ideas. Your motives are questionable and I definitely don't trust you to do things that will "help" me in the long run. Don't expect me to change my attitude just because you put he into some sort of ideal suburban setting.

You could try and take this opportunity to improve it, then! Maybe you can make a lot of friends there.

ressucitates

[skiodis]

Yeah, I'm sure all the problems that come with being the son of Hades will just magically go away and it'll be all sunshine and rainbows for me.
[Because he's had such good luck so far in his life, after all.]

no i refuse

[suturings]

[oh nico you damaged child are you really only two years older than her

and that makes her tilt her head] The son of Hades...?

I WASN'T ASKING

[skiodis]

[YES BUT HE'S ALSO TECHNICALLY DECADES OLDER.]

... Yeah. Hades, the Greek god of the Underworld. My dad.

NEITHER WAS I

[suturings]

[shut up he's still a dumb kid!!!

she takes a second to register what nico said— is that why he's all broody and angsty...] God of the Underworld... you're half god? [she'd honestly act more surprised if nico wasn't so... nico] Is that why you said you can't get along with other people? [BECAUSE THAT'S BULLSHIT]

go to your room

[skiodis]

[YOU SHUT UP!!!!]

A demigod, yeah. Most people aren't really fans of the underworld and anything to do with it, putting it lightly. They don't want to associate with someone like me.

you're not my mom

[suturings]

... but you're not a bad person, are you?

ur right I'm your dad

[skiodis]

That's not the point! It doesn't matter what kind of person I am if people just avoid me in the first place! Why should I exert the extra effort to convince them otherwise?

my dad isn't in gay baby jail

[suturings]

[oh you poor tortured soul!!! that gets nina quiet for a moment]

I understand what you mean... but if you don't do anything, won't you just be proving them right? If you don't reach out to people, you'll be all alone.

... I don't think anybody likes being alone.

or is he

[skiodis]

[So tortured!!!!]

... It's not that bad once you get used to it. I don't have to worry about what other people think.
[He doesn't sound convinced, though.]

are you in gay baby jail, dad

[suturings]

[much suffer, so pain, such sad

ububu that makes her sad] Nobody should be used to that! Don't you have friends that accept you?

yes son, now we can be a family again

[skiodis]

... I have my sister?

[DOES THAT COUNT?]
