[ sitting in his room in marco's mansion with a record player belting out blitzkrieg bop. not so loud that he can't be heard, but it's clearly cranked up a little. nico, meanwhile, is sharpening his sword and looking a little put out. after having his memories shared with multiple people, he's not feeling too sociable. but he can hear jason grace in his head telling him he needs to get out of the house and talk to people. ]

Eight months. I've been here eight months and there's still no way to get back to camp. Back... home.

[ the fact he calls camp home now truly reveals just how much he misses his friends and family. ]

This place isn't too bad, but being the only demigod around here kind of sucks. I don't know how many people around here get homesick, but I would certainly accept even some of the gods, Greek gods showing up. No offense to you Norse types.

[ he picks up his sword and sets his thumb against the edge, cheering up a little as it nicks the skin, causing blood to well to the surface. sucking on his thumb, he sets the sword aside. ]

Whatever. Anyone want to go outside quarantine and kill some stuff?

I'm sorry. If it's full of demigods, I hope it's at least a fun place to hang around?

Loki's different, yeah. I mean--he's not the only god who walks around my Earth and does some. . normaler activities. But even among other gods, he tends to stick out. ( like a sore thumb. ) He seems to've settled in here nicely.

If you have friends, yeah, it's not so bad. For a while, I didn't really fit in.

[ a shrug. nico had a hard time fitting in at camp, mostly because he's always been a loner, and also because he was struggling with feelings for another green eyed, dark haired godling. it was hard to be around percy jackson, especially knowing that percy will always be in love with annabeth chase. ]

Are there many gods that hang out with mortals? None of the Greek gods do.

( it's something he really does understand, at least. billy had--the same problems throughout the first couple years of high school, middle school. being a nerdy, gay, jewish kid really didn't help him fit in any. he'd come home covered in bruises more often than not--spent more time sitting on benches admiring the strength of the avengers, strength he wished he'd had, more than he cares to admit. )

There are a few. There's Thor and Loki of course, a few Olympians, some alien gods. Thor and Loki are the more well-known ones. Most of them hang out for a little while then go back, but they stick around a lot.

The Olympians, really?

[ nico is immediately curious because, well, that's his family. ]

It's so weird to think of Zeus or Posiedon in a different universe... Is Olympus still at the top of the Empire State Building?

No, they have their own interdimensional nexus they live in. Somewhere in Greece? Or did. .

They fought the Asgardians a decent bit--that's mostly what I know them from. ( because norse nerd. ) Then there's Hercules, of course.

[ snorts and rolls his eyes. ] Oh, I've heard all about Hercules from friends. Where I'm from, he's stuck guarding the entrance to the Mare Nostrum. Er, the Straits of Gibraltar, basically. He's pretty full of himself.

He's worked on several hero teams where I'm from. The Avengers, Renegades, the Gods of War. . I'd say he's still pretty full of himself.

Are there a lot of hero teams where you're from?

So many I couldn't memorize them all even if I tried for years. Especially given how often names change, members change, all that.

Gods, that's gotta be confusing. It's difficult enough remembering all the spare gods out there, I wouldn't want to have to think about hero teams.

The more well-known ones are pretty easy to point out, honestly. There's the Avengers, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four. . . Some of the smaller teams come and go, members change, new teams form out of old ones. You get used to it.
