WILL SOLACE COME RETRIEVE YOUR EMOTIONAL SUPPORT GOTH I'M NOT HIS BABYSITTER

( helpfully, she adds an illustration that no one asked for: )



( then, because nico seriously needs more friends and it's her duty as former head counselor of the ares cabin to embarrass any and all younger campers: )

  BTW THIS IS NICO
HE LOVES LONG WALKS THROUGH THE UNDERWORLD AND BROODING IN GRAVEYARDS
HE'S SPOKEN FOR BUT I'M SURE HE'LL BE THE AFTERLIFE OF YOUR NEXT PARTY

CHALLENGE HIM TO A GAME OF MYTHOMAGIC TODAY!!!

ALSO IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS SEEN THESE DEMIGODS CONTACT ME ASAP
LOOKS LIKE ZEUS IS SUPER FUCKING PISSED AGAIN AND WE NEED A GAMEPLAN

[ “Can you entertain the notion that I might be here to help you, not simply because I want something?” Nico frowns at the memory of his father - at himself. And then he realizes Zagreus can’t see that. ]

Not ALWAYS. But Father can’t directly intervene with me. There are rules with demigods, and he breaks them more than most Olympians. I think. I don’t know the other gods.

Except Apollo. It’s hard to remember he counts.

[personal profile] inthenameofhades 2024-04-11 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know these rules. They're not like any I've ever heard of. And if they mean going around treating people differently just because they happen to have a mortal parent, then I'd say they're rules we could do without.

...You know Mother's father was mortal. Demigods are a little different where I'm from, they can kind of...go either way. Mother just happened to be more on the immortal side of things.
demigoth: (060)

[personal profile] demigoth 2024-04-11 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It doesn’t work that way where I’m from. Percy only got the gods to acknowledge their kids before they turned 16 like two years ago. If you have a mortal parent, it matters.

Maybe your world is better.
inthenameofhades: (Sarcasm and snark face)

[personal profile] inthenameofhades 2024-04-11 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure exactly what being 'sixteen' means, but waiting until some arbitrary time to acknowledge your own children is...not right.

I believe it is better, in my world. But I admit I also don't really know much of what goes on on the Surface. Not unless I hear about it from any of the recently arrived Shades, at least.
demigoth: (027)

[personal profile] demigoth 2024-04-16 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think it has any special significance. Ask Percy, he picked it. And I never said it was right. It's stupid that he had to ask the gods to promise.
inthenameofhades: (Sarcasm and snark face)

[personal profile] inthenameofhades 2024-04-16 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Percy is one of the other demigods who've just arrived? So he made Father and the other gods make a promise to do...what exactly? I'm not sure I understand.
demigoth: (027)

[personal profile] demigoth 2024-04-22 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Claim their kids and at least let them know who they are.
inthenameofhades: (Surprised 1)

[personal profile] inthenameofhades 2024-04-23 09:13 am (UTC)(link)
Wait, are you telling me that me that before this, the gods didn't acknowledge their own children at all?
demigoth: (082)

[personal profile] demigoth 2024-04-23 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
They did when they needed them. Or if someone did something impressive. But not always, and usually not until they were teenagers. Why? Do they claim the demigods immediately when you're from?
inthenameofhades: (Thoughtful face)

[personal profile] inthenameofhades 2024-04-24 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
Well...I suppose I don't really know exactly how it works where I'm from. Demigods are born on the Surface, not in the Underworld. We're a bit lacking in mortals, after all.

Usually though, if someone's a demigod...it's not a secret who their parent is.
demigoth: (076)

[personal profile] demigoth 2024-04-25 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Don’t you ever go to the mortal world? Everyone else does.

I didn’t know until I was almost 11, and Father made sure nobody knew we existed.
inthenameofhades: (Smirk 2)

[personal profile] inthenameofhades 2024-04-25 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I visit the Surface all the time! But then I also die not long after I get there, so I don't really get to visit for long.
demigoth: (010)

[personal profile] demigoth 2024-04-27 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
But gods don't die?
inthenameofhades: (Smiling face)

[personal profile] inthenameofhades 2024-04-29 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
Sure we do! It's just a little different from mortals. We reform and get our bodies back, rather than just becoming a Shade and staying dead.

...Or, well, we do where I'm from.
demigoth: (005)

[personal profile] demigoth 2024-04-30 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Is Pan alive in your world?
inthenameofhades: (Sarcasm and snark face)

[personal profile] inthenameofhades 2024-04-30 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, of course - why wouldn't he be?
demigoth: (049)

[personal profile] demigoth 2024-05-03 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Because he's not in mine. He

He faded.
inthenameofhades: (Serious face)

[personal profile] inthenameofhades 2024-05-04 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
'Faded'? That's an unusual method of death. I don't think I've heard of that one before.
demigoth: (024)

[personal profile] demigoth 2024-05-06 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
They said it was because there weren't any wild places left. The satyrs were really upset about it.
inthenameofhades: (Sarcasm and snark face)

[personal profile] inthenameofhades 2024-05-06 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
Wild places like...forests? Those places with lots of trees?
demigoth: (010)

[personal profile] demigoth 2024-05-08 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Are forests really wild anymore? Most of them have paved paths and tour guides.
inthenameofhades: (Sarcasm and snark face)

[personal profile] inthenameofhades 2024-05-08 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
Forests have...tour guides?
demigoth: (077)

[personal profile] demigoth 2024-05-14 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Rangers? Gift shops? I don't know how it works, but there are people who work in forests.
inthenameofhades: (Sarcasm and snark face)

[personal profile] inthenameofhades 2024-05-14 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think the forests here have gift shops.

We do have monster hunting crews though. Is that a bit like having 'rangers'?
demigoth: (004)

[personal profile] demigoth 2024-05-17 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
That's a shame. Where's Will buying all his clothes without them?

No, that's like having demigods. Rangers don't hunt the animals. Where do I sign up for the monster hunting crews?
