Ask Meme: @kallistcs

"I know, I know," Nico muttered. "I can feel it too." But that seemed to be the case of most of the ground back in Greece as well as some of the land where the city of Troy once stood. The land held on its history different here, and Nico was sure that wasn't a good thing.

Turning to look over his shoulder, he startled slightly, seeing the massive figure looming there. "Styx," he hissed, jumping back from the shade. "Did they feed you Miracle-Gro when you were younger?" Apparently they grew them big back in the day.

Writing Something Something -- @madestars

I definitely need to write with your Percy more!! Just like threads where they actually sit and talk to each other please? Maybe have a chill time? But also putting them in Situations is always fun--just some kind of monster fighting or random adventuring. Oh! Percy can take Nico to NYCC, or maybe it's Nico taking Percy

Also also writing something with Toothless would be very fun! Not sure what yet ahaa

we just had a little misunderstanding. ( from alectryon perhaps? )

Lost Meme -- @aphthiton

"I'd hate to see what a big misunderstanding looked like," Nico mutters, glanced around the relative carnage scattered around them. Whatever monsters were nearby are already fading to dust, such that Nico can't really tell how many of them there are anymore. From one of the large, curled tusks left behind, he has a hunch it was a wild boar, but from the size of it, he wouldn't be surprised if it was of the more monstrous variety.

And again, not little.

"So, what happened?" he asked after a beat, eyes catching the form of a rather pleased rooster strutting in the background. Does the guy have a rooster?

[ INCAPACITATE ] : sender knocks out receiver's attacker.

Meme that I am Too Lazy to find the Link for -- @inhxuman

Telkhines, the thought rattled unhelpfully around his mind, low attack power but tended to draw strength from numbers, +5 mobility bonus to all attacks performed in the water. And unfortunately, they had plied all of their strengths to their advantage.

Nico didn't plan to be in Gotham harbor, kidnapped by the Greek monster version of seals-- the passingly bipedal animals wandering all over the deck of the cargo ship he'd been taken to, sliding around much more successfully on their bellies--and he could only assume the Fates must be enjoying this. Granted, putting the son of Hades on water probably had to be intentional, given he couldn't summon any skeletons through the hull of a cargo ship, and being over water meant he couldn't access any of the powers he had connected to the earth either. Being seasick was just another fun bonus.

One of the telkhines approached, fishy smell on its breath almost making him want to throw up, and checked the bonds tying his wrists together. Ropes nipped even tighter into his skin, and Nico bit down on his lip to keep from making a noise, although the monster must have noticed him winced. "Either your father brings us what we want or you're dinner--it's all the same to us!"

Tipping his head back, Nico clocked the monster in the jaw, sending it reeling away in a move that sent his own vision spinning too. Gods above and below, that was worth it even if he barfed. With a bark that quickly turned into a snarl, the monster made a lunge for Nico--only to suddenly disappear in a burst of magical, monster dust. Leaving the slim forward of a dark clad superhero in its place.

"Good trick," he grunted, eying the figure warily. "Please tell me you're the rescue?"

Lost Meme -- @historiavn

"Yeah, that's the problem," Nico grumbles, or rather more of the problem, and he scowls at the young woman's face. She's one of the many yanked out of the Underworld and he would prefer she not try to find the magic all around, or at least to make as little waves as possible while doing so.

Because before them stands the opening to the Underworld right in the middle of Central Park. He's used it once before to go down to visit his father just before the battle of Manhattan when Percy needed to gain the curse of Achilles. But that doesn't explain what the opening is doing here, now. "Did you sing for it?" he asks curiously. He doesn't think this particular spirit wants to return just yet, but he's not going to stop her if she decides to go down.

"Come on, it's a little bit impressive." Nico managed to keep his expression deadpan but only just, just barely able to contain the glee from what he'd just accomplished.

Home Depot was selling 20 ft tall skeletons that Halloween season, and Nico had bought one to stand guard over the Hades cabin. To him, it looked like the skeleton was giving the cabin a reassuring hug from the top-down, but he could sort of understand how others wouldn't see it that way. Others with bad taste as far as he was concerned.

10)  receiver sprained their ankle so sender sweeps them into their arms to carry them to get treated. / Ganymede and Nico~ he's stronger than he looks ok

Ask Meme: Lifting Nico -- @kallistcs

Nico did not like the way his ankle cracked as his foot slipped on the rock, nor did he like how it suddenly shifted first one way and then the other. Sitting heavily on the ground as soon as his ankle finished shaking, he hissed between his teeth as it throbbed uncomfortably, pulsing with each heartbeat, muttered curses underneath his breath. The voice that sounded like Will in the back of his mind scolded him about being more careful with his footing while also commenting about the swelling growing rapidly in the joint. He thought he could bear weight on his ankle, but he also would rather not try.

Only then he suddenly didn’t have to try, arms wrapped around his shoulders and knees, lifting him bridal style to start carrying him down the mountainside. A small scowl turned the corners of his mouth down as he looked at the former human’s face all of the sudden much closer than it was before. Did he know Ganymede could pick him up? That was a thought for another time.

“I can walk, Ganymede. You don’t need to fuss over me,” he said, half-wanting to shift and twist himself out of Ganymede’s arms, and half-not wanting to tumble down the mountainside.

Nico’s eyes tick to the side for a moment, a hint of amusement flashing through the corner of his mouth before it just as quickly vanishes. “I can just ignore you, if you would prefer that,” he drawls.

He is more than aware that most of if not all of his powers would have been heavily frowned upon once upon a time, and most people at the very minimum still find them a bit creepy. This also isn’t the first time it’s been pointed out to him, but it is the first time a ghost has done so.

Lost Meme -- @bledf1rst

"Well great, it's working," Nico muttered, pulling himself upright as he rubbed at his eyes. He hadn't meant to take an impromptu nap after over-exerting himself and his powers, but he rarely got to decide those things anyway. He certainly didn't mean to have nightmares, visions of his sister this time, although she spoke in a voice he knew was not hers, blaming him for his death. It didn't seem like Morpheus was open to taking notes on his dream giving.

Groaning a little as he massaged his forehead before glancing around blearily. Was he in a morgue? That was depressingly fitting. And he glanced up at the woman standing there suspiciously. "Can you see dreams?" he asked curiously. Because something about her seemed... familiar.

Lost Meme -- @bledf1rst

Nico gave the hero a look for a moment. Typically there was almost nothing about his appearance--all dark clothing and general sickly pale looks--or where he'd decided to settle--the middle of a graveyard at night, that inspired anything like the need for company. But then again, superheroes were persistent, or at least that was what he'd heard about them. "Got it in one," he replied instead, voice dry.

"Don't worry, I'm not disturbing anyone," Nico added, glancing around the cemetery for a moment before shrugging. Of course there were ghosts around, and his presence was enough to get the spirits that remained excited, but he didn't need to get of anyone in particular, and there wasn't anything spooky on Gotham that needed his attention. Not yet anyway.

That would be a relief, Nico considers behind a carefully neutral expression, seeing as it felt like every poisonous though the Aesir god had immediately left his mouth to infected the rest of the world about five seconds after it occurred. Yes, he is sure the other does possess some private inner thoughts, but it would certainly be nice if more thoughts remained private. But he knows better than to say such things allowed. Even before coming to Asgard, Nico has experience keeping his own thoughts to himself.

“Headache?” he asks instead, sympathetically. “I don’t have any skills with healing, but I could get some water or one of the healers?”

Ask Meme: Nonverbal Prompt -- @wornempathy

One moment he’s carefully making his way down a path, following directions on where best to find some herbs for a poultice Freya requested he help find, and the next he’s spread-eagle on the ground, knocked to the side. Landing with a hard thump, his breath disappears for his lungs for a moment as the world spins.

It takes him a beat to realize what happened, eyes roving for a moment before they land on the goddess.

“Freya!” Nico’s voice swings up an octave, wound tight with strain as an arrow thumps dully into the goddess’s shoulder. Her life force gutters uncomfortably under his eyes, no where near enough to stop a goddess, but that doesn’t ease Nico’s worry by any stretch. “Can you get up? Come on, we have to move!”

gildedwar asked:

"If I go down, I want you to run" theseus

Lost Meme -- @gildedwar

The Underworld was falling, and Nico knew this was the dreaded certainty of the oncoming tide. He couldn’t be exactly sure what had happened to his father at that point, nor exactly what had become of his elder brother Zagreus. Zagreus at least had some experience dying and being born again over and over, so Nico suspected that he would be okay, but if his father fell, if the entire realm of the Underworld fell, he wasn’t exactly sure what that meant. The Titan started clawing out of Tartarus not long ago, grabbing at whatever he could, wrenching himself from the abyss where he’d been scattered. And the rest of the Underworld had followed.

He’d made his way as far as Elysium, ragged scythe cuts marring the beautiful landscape for the blessed dead. Nico couldn’t be sure where Asterius was, his middle cramping at the thought, and the only one that stood in his way now was the dead, mortal king Theseus.

His own spear gripped in his hands, a muscle worked in Nico’s jaw at the order. Nico saw the wisdom of it. He hadn’t seen Hermes since this started, and if they were not able to stop Kronos’s march out of Elysium, someone had to get the word out of the Underworld of what had become of the realm of the dead. The rest of the Olympians had to know. But it went against everything in Nico’s core to flee if his training master fell.

But he nodded once. “I will come back for you.”

Lost Meme -- @nectaric

Tears streamed down Nico’s cheeks and he could barely make out his father’s words over the howling in his own ears. His fault, his fault, all his fault. Why do the people around him always get hurt? First it was Bianca and now it was his father. He can feel Hades pressing his hands to Nico’s cheeks but the sensation barely registered as the ground beneath him seemed to yawn, threatening to swallow him whole.

Wounds, Nico’s mind latched onto the words. Hurt--Hades was hurt. His hand wrapped up to hold on to Hades hand, a frantic scrambling where he thought his nails might have accidentally cut Hades in turn, but he can’t be sure. “No, no--you can’t get hurt. This is my fault.” Nico wasn’t listening to his father’s words, moving to stand, to try to tug Hades to some place safer. “Come on, you need to get help. Apollo!” his voice sounded robotic even as it raised in pitch, tinged with a wild, frantic energy he didn’t recognize. “Someone help!”

Nico's hand fumbled and he almost dropped the bandage he'd been carefully winding around his sore ankle, startled by the presence of the spirit. Gods, he must really be out of it, he thought, finishing up his work as he tried to figure out just what he could say to Hyacinth. He didn't have any reason to lie, he considered with a slightly gusty sigh, even if it did make him look like a klutzy.

"It's borrowing," Nico says, pulling a couple bags of chips off the otherwise abandoned gas station shelves. Gods alone knows how long the store has sat empty. It doesn't have the easy access to the interstate that makes most gas station naturally thrive, nor are there any homes nearby that Nico can tell, so he's not fully sure why the gas station was built there in the first place. That probably is mostly why it stands empty now.

"Didn't you do this while you were on your quest?" He asks, feeling like maybe the hero is being a bit hypocritical with food on the line. "You don't have to eat any of it."
