[ the view this time is of nico, sitting atop a gravestone. there's a fire crackling nearby, the glow making him look even more gaunt and sinister than usual ( if the dark hair, italian cheekbones emphasized by dark circles under his eyes, and the nearly all black clothing decorated with skulls aren't enough ). against the headstone he's sitting on rests a lethal looking, pure black sword.
it might seem like the beginnings of a horror movie of some sort, except nico is currently munching on french fries while gazing at the toy figurine he got with his quarantine equivalent of a happy meal. it's a pirate, of all things. ]
For those of you who are unaware, I am providing funeral services for anyone who decides to die heroically. Shroud burning, free of charge.
[ cheerful, isn't he. ]
Fortunately, I haven't had to do so yet, but where I'm from it's pretty common, so I might as well offer it here too. Trust me, though. Burning your body is best. You don't know who might decide to raise you from the dead.
[ and he gives a snap of his fingers. the earth at the feet of the tombstone he's sitting on begins to shift and soon enough, a skeletal hand begins climbing out. nico flashes a wry grin, and then turns the feed off. ]

It still takes him a little while to decide to answer, because he might be worrying about someone who doesn't need it, but better to worry than not.]
...Never felt an interest in getting into heroics yourself?

[ avengers fan... nico wonders if this guy knows loki. as for nico's response, there are quite a few people back home who would disagree... ]

[He could be wrong. But he'd always thought that was exactly what all the big names in the Avengers did.]
Besides, that's a pretty neat sword.
no subject
Thanks. It was forged in the Styx.

[Okay, he's picked up a little mythology by osmosis, but he's not that good at it.]
Sorry, I don't know what that is.
no subject
Yeah. It's the primary river of the Underworld. The river of Hate, basically. Oaths are usually sworn upon it and are binding, even in death and even for gods.
no subject
You have a sword dipped in an underworld river? I think I'm starting to see a theme here...

It would make a lot of sense. So is the hanging out in graveyards part of that, or do you just like graveyards?

[He's used to powers, but that isn't usually one of the ones people have in his world. Unless you're talking Hela, and most of what he's ever heard about her is rumours.]

[Is that a valid question? He's not sure, so he's going to try and qualify it a little.]
One of my friends back home really likes video games about those.
[And, you know, mass destruction of said zombies. He has to wonder how Nico might feel about games like that now...]
