And what if 'none of the above' comes into play with your last question there.

Seeing as I'm sure you'll get lots of other people helping you with your little requests.

[deathkid]

interesting username.

[ it appeals to nico's aesthetic. ]

then i'd ask for further explanation.
i'm familiar with a wide range of

[ hm, how to put this... ]

beings

[hellshot]

Thanks.

You'll find it's fitting, as well as interesting.

Because the best explanation I can give you is 'Dead'.

[Yeah they're probably gonna get on alright.]

[deathkid]

fancy that
i can control the dead
most of the time, anyway

i can sense several "dead" people here
but are you ghost, ghoul, zombie, or etc

[hellshot]

'Control'? What, are you some sort of modern day necromancer.

[This is a terrible joke do not rise to it and actually say yes]

Who knows. I'm not even sure what I am myself. Not like the person who did it stuck around to find out how badly she fucked up in raising the dead.

'Wraith' is what I went with. Not exactly a ghost. Not exactly a 'zombie'.

[deathkid]

[ sorry, mr. reaper, but... ]

actually, yes.
you could say i'm the necromancer
it's part of the whole demigod business in my case

as for you
sounds exactly like why trying to restore life
is generally meant to be impossible.
what's lost its life is meant to remain that way

raising the dead is a bit different.

[ this is where he'd punch leo valdez, if he had the chance. alas, leo's still wandering the mist with his goddess girlfriend. ]

[hellshot]

[God damn it you had one job.]

...

I'm sure you'll understand my skepticism. I've been to space and I've seen aliens, but I've still got no reason to think demigods are possible. Hellishly strong guys with weird magic making you strong enough to be seen as a god, sure. Actual gods? No.

[He'll learn, eventually.]

Preaching to the choir. You're right about that shit. She was an idiot, and should have left me as a corpse.

But people do stupid things when they're faced with a moral choice they feel is 'right'.

But you're going to have to explain that last bit. How is restoring life and raising the dead any different.

[deathkid]

most human mortals have a hard time
comprehending the gods, so i get it
but i'm not lying when i say that hades is my father

raising the dead = summoning the undead
(ie ghosts, zombies, animating skeletons, etc)
for most of those, there's no soul attached to the form
spirits can only be summoned temporarily
before they return to the underworld
because there's nothing to anchor them to the mortal world

restoring life is literally that
restoring the soul to the body in its original form.

make sense?

[hellshot]

[He'll need to think on that for a while and decide if this kid is either fucking with him or fucking serious. Because having Hades as a dad sounds metal as fuck. But also impossible. So he'll put a pin in that for later.]

Makes enough sense. And explains why messing around with that shit should be avoided.
Explanation appreciated.

That aside.

You want to live in a graveyard to make friends with the local dead, or something.

[deathkid]

[ just wait until he shows you shadow traveling, gabe. your wraithform and shadow-stepping have got nothing on this kid. who is actually like 86 years old. oh and his sword? absorbs the souls of his fallen enemies and is made of iron from the river styx. ]

no, i want to speak to them
one of the best ways to find out about this world
is to learn from those that have come before

for example, when i was learning how to fight
i talked to achilles and hector

[hellshot]

[He's going to be so jealous that some kid whose dad is Hades is going to out-edge him. Who gave permission for this.]

...

You're talking about Achilles the Trojan and Hector of Troy?

You have got to be fucking with me right now.

[deathkid]

if you don't believe me
i could always show you

also, achilles was actually from pythia
he was a myrmidon prince
but you're not wrong about hector

[hellshot]

Going to be hard to summon Hector of Troy to this planet, isn't it?

But fine.

I'll bite.

Show me what you got, kid.

[He has no reason other than the 'burger and fries' shit to assume that he's a kid, but he's going for it anyway.]

...And yeah, whatever. Not all of us are history majors with Greek Gods for fathers.

[deathkid]

[ it's a fair enough assumption. he looks sixteen too. ]

okay.
first things first: which room and floor are you in?

[ ooc: want to log this or switch to action? nico will probs just shadow travel to reaper's room :> ]

[hellshot]

[Don't tell him you're 86 later it'll be an even bigger blow to his ego.]

Floor 8. It's communal.

I'll be there, on the balcony.

Hard to miss.

[What with the smoke coming off him and the skull mask and all.]


[ ooc: I don't mind starting up a log! (: ]

[deathkid]

i'll be there in a second.

[ ooc: awesome! i'll hit it up asap! ]

[hellshot]
