voice testing, and so very nervous

[lesserdeath]

You're actually going through with this? I don't mind, but I was going to try and see Bianca again. I think I deserve a break after helping save the world and all, but I guess you have different plans.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against seeing my friends again, but don't keep me here for long. I have things I need to do.

Trust me, random child, they don't care about what you have to do.

[lesserdeath]

You think that a guy could get at least a nap, but it doesn't look like I'll be getting one of those either... random floating guy.

[shorttempered]

Oh no, napping is one of the few things you have time to actually do. Congratulations, you have lots and lots of free time unless your mun decides to drop you off somewhere.

[And with that he lands.] Sorry about that.

[lesserdeath]

Drop me off somewhere? [That sounds appealing because he's thinking he's going to be dropped off in like New York or LA.]

No big. I've seen weirder.

[waterproof]

Oh, thank you, Nico. Hear that, mun? We seriously deserve a break.

[ I GAVE YOU A 2 YEARS BREAK, YOU SEAWEED BRAIN ]

[lesserdeath]

[PERCY! Nico is happy to see you.]

It isn't like saving the world is a hobby of ours. Though, convincing my dad to help out was scarier than fighting Kronos.

[waterproof]

By now, I think we can put it in our profile or something. Hobby, saving the world.


I can almost agree on your second point. Almost.

[lesserdeath]

Maybe they think it's something we enjoying doing. It's nice that everything is safe, but it's not something I want to do all the time. [Relatively speaking. When are things completely safe for half-bloods?]

Well, maybe it wasn't too hard. I had a did have a good reason to get him on our side.

Nice username there, me.

[lackofreverence]

Oh, my GOD. Finally, someone understands! I mean, we save the world and they keep expecting us to do more and more, on and on, all the time? Where's my holiday pay?!

[sighs.] I don't mean I'd ignore them if they needed help, my brother would kill me and I suppose I'd feel bad besides, but honestly, do we ever get a break?

[lesserdeath]

And they act like we have nothing better to do. [Like getting Bianca back. That's like his whole "to do" list right there.] It isn't like we're doing anything important here right now anyway.

[brain_child]

As much as we want to decide our own fates, I think it's a design that even the best of us can't change ...much. But there is almost always a plan, I can tell you that much.

[lesserdeath]

I don't know if I'm alright with this plan. It isn't even like this, um, mun? [That was the word, right?] It isn't like she's planning on sending me anywhere. So I'm only here for the fun of it, when I could be back home... [Looking for Bianca.]

[ripstides]

[ decidedly not being THAT guy. nope. not going to compare talking to a mun with begging an uncaring god. ( see: zeus. ) ] I never did thank you for saving our butts back there.

[ hrghh, pride. admitting things. it burns!! not as much as it might Annabeth, but still. they do deserve a break, Nico especially, backstabbing considered. ] How'd you get through to your dad?

[lesserdeath]

It's alright. I'm just happy I was able to help. Bianca would've done the same.

Oh. [Heh-heh. That!] It wasn't that hard. Well, it was, but telling him about family and reminding him about my mother really helped.

[ripstides]

[ she would have. he didn't know Bianca very well but in the time he knew her, he could at least say that. and something else but he's worried it's not his place. ( and okay, he's still a little mad about being handed over to the lord of the Underworld. that. probably won't ever go away. ) then again, when does he ever act appropriately? ] She would have been proud of you, man.

[ gods aren't so different. they act tough but there's a reason they have demigod children. Hermes cared about May, about Luke. Poseidon cared about him and there would probably always be something that made him fond of Sally; he imagines it's the same for every god, even Hades.

so yeah, quick change of subject!! ] And not to rain on your parade or anything, Nico, but I hope you realize this is probably their idea of a break.

[lesserdeath]

[Aw. That makes him blush. But don't say anything about it. He's totally an adult who doesn't blush at compliments like that.]

Thanks.

[But that other thing was not good news. Not at all.] Well, that's just great. So I'm never going to be able to leave this place? not even for awhile?

[waterproofed]

Uh, Nico... You do know there's no such thing as breaks in our world, right?

[lesserdeath]

I just wanted some free time to go and find Bianca. [And bring her back.]

[waterproofed]

[oh gods should he tell him?] Don't get too discouraged if you can't find her, okay?

JSDFLSJDF NICO AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[oikodomae]

[ Annabeth is just going to smile a little sympathetically at the whole 'take a break' comment. Oh, the constant struggle with muns. An ongoing battle. ]

Our idea of a break and their idea of a break are very different things.

[ see: basically their entire existence here. But details! ]

It's good to see you though, Nico.

/hides in the corner

[lesserdeath]

Do they have a different definition for the word break? [Because BOO!]

/DRAGS BACK OUT

[oikodomae]

No, more like their break usually involves work for us, because they take some kind of enjoyment out of our lives.

[corrosive]

Don't you get it, kid? The only thing they're going to offer you is scraps. Something recycled and unwanted. There's not much room for breaking the mold or whatever things you think you need to get to.

Being a hero doesn't change that.

[lesserdeath]

[You only get a glare.]

Like I'd listen to anything you have to say.
