[ the feed opens with skeletal fingers holding the camera. then, it pulls back to reveal nico, sitting on a throne of bones with a silver crown atop his head. for a few seconds he merely smirks at the feed, twisting the silver skull ring on his forefinger. it's dark around him, candles on the ground nearby providing a little bit of illumination. where he's at is hard to tell, but it's obviously nowhere close to the communal housing. ]

You know, I love October. [ someone's more chipper than he was in his last post. ] It's my favorite time of year. When the boundaries between life and death are at their weakest. This is the time when we can learn the most about the past, learn the most from those that came before us.

Also, get a ton of free candy.

Naturally, this is my kind of month. And if anyone is interested, I can provide some free and real decorations. The kind you won't get in a store.

[ as if to demonstrate, the feed jostles as his skeletal cameraman tosses his head at nico. the son of hades catches it and twirls it on one finger like a basketball. ]

After all, this is my time.

Note to self: only think of pie recipes from now on.

[She pats a bony finger on her skull underneath the fire illusion.]

Y'can feel that all the way over the fucking phone?

[deathkid]

My senses have a wide range, especially when it comes to the undead.

[umbrastaff]

Oh man, I'll keep that in mind.

{She smiles again.]

My necromancer boyfriend would love to chat with you about this death shit. What's your name, dude?

[deathkid]

[ bows his head a fraction. ]

Nico di Angelo, Son of Hades.

[umbrastaff]

Lup Taaco, Evocation Wizard Lich!

[Fancy titles.]

[deathkid]

Well, if we're going for titles, I'm also the Ambassador for Pluto and the King of Ghosts.

Who's your boyfriend?

[umbrastaff]

Impressive!

[She falters a little at his question, even if she should have obviously expected it.]

He's not here.

[deathkid]

Oh... [ man, that's gotta suck. granted, he's never had a boyfriend ( though he's wanted one ), so he doesn't quite know what it's like, but he thinks he can imagine. ] That sucks, I'm sorry.

[umbrastaff]

It's fine, your highness. I'm used to waiting for him.

[Kind of.]

If he gets here, though, I'm sending him your way because he's all about the necromancy.

[deathkid]

Just Nico is fine.

And I hope you don't have to wait long. It's... hard being separated from someone important to you.

[umbrastaff]

Your Highness is funnier. Go with it, my dude.

[She grins.]

Psh, yeaaah. It sucks, but that's this place for ya. You holding up?

[deathkid]

Uh, okay.

[ a slow shrug. ]

I'm alright. I'm sure other people have it worse off than me.

[ not necessarily true, but he is usually so self sacrificing that he wouldn't say if he wasn't holding up. ]

[umbrastaff]

We all got our troubles, I'm sure.

[She smiles again.]

I'm looking forward to see what you got going at the party, my dude.
