[ This time there's no movement in the background. She's reclining on what seems to be a throne of flowering greenery, and a smattering of animal bones. ]



Head count, who's dead? No, wait, actually- who's died.



Also, anyone got any spare human skulls you're looking to move? I'll take other skulls too if they look cool enough, or whatever.

... That doesn't really tell me anything either.

[ He heads for the entrance to the fast food place. ]

[pummelgranite]

It tells you that he's a dick. And he travels in shadows.

[abandon_hope]

There's a lot of ways to be a dick.

[pummelgranite]

He makes puns.

[abandon_hope]

Oh gods. That's the worst.

[pummelgranite]

Uh huh. If I make one, you can blame him.

[abandon_hope]

You already did. So I'm blaming him.

[pummelgranite]

See?

[abandon_hope]

Guess I do.

[ He orders them some happy meals. ]

[pummelgranite]

[ She just orders a salad and asks for extra packs of their hideous """Pomegranate Vinegrette""" dressing and drops some crumpled and dirty bills on the counter. ]


. . . surprised it's not imPort toys.

[abandon_hope]

[ Nico passes over a few of his own. Then retreats to a booth to eat. ]

Yeah. Me too. I don't even know what these yellow things are.

[pummelgranite]

Yyyyeah, no idea.


[ BOOTS UP ON THE TABLE. WHO CAN STOP HER. She also just starts.... drenching......... the salad......................... ]

[abandon_hope]

[ Nico watches her, tearing into his french fries in turn. ]

... That looks disgusting.

[pummelgranite]

Uh-huh.


[ She snaps and a light rain of pomegranate seeds pelts down on the soggy greens ]


Cheap though.

[abandon_hope]

I'd rather eat dirt.

[pummelgranite]

No one stopping you.


[ NOM ]

[abandon_hope]

Good.

[ He chows down on those french fries. ]

[pummelgranite]

[ this needs more pomegranates ]

So what kind of bullshit are they trying to make you do? The Americans, I mean.

[abandon_hope]

Superheroics. [ Chew, chew. He still doesn't taste very much, even months after his pomegranate seeds. ] They don't push hard, though. Mostly you get punished if you mess up badly enough.

[pummelgranite]

What? Seriously? You registered?

[abandon_hope]

Of course not. But they didn't like me and Luke breaking in to talk to the Porter.

[pummelgranite]

So they're making you work for them as punishment, huh?



. . . I won't let anyone fuck with you, y'know. Not if we're- not if we're family, or whatever.

[abandon_hope]

[ Nico looks up at that. That's ... a nice thought. He's not sure he thinks it's true. ]

More like they locked down our powers. I was practically mortal for a couple months.

They can do it to you too.

[pummelgranite]

[ the food on her fork rots instantly to sludge, and plops down into her bowl, which is rapidly overgrowing with mould and bugs ]


They can try.

[abandon_hope]

[ Gross. ]

They can. Just - trust me. You don't want proof.
