Video | Two (can be as bad as one)

[ 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.

I'd rather eat dirt.

No one stopping you.

Good.

[ He chows down on those french fries. ]

[ this needs more pomegranates ]

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

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.

What? Seriously? You registered?

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

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.

[ 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.

[ 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.

[ Gross. ]

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

Shit! Fucking- Hold on.

[ She snatches the Bowl Of Nasty and stomps over to the trash. if the whole restaurant wasn't staring before, they are as soon as she slams it in and the metal frame starts rusting ]

Fuck! Christ!

[ Oh for - now they're really making a scene. Sometimes Nico really misses having the Mist. ]

You're scaring the mortals.

Good.

[ She sits back down, just glaring daggers at any poor bastard dumb enough to keep looking. ]

... Do you always do that? Make things decay around you?

Never tried.

So it's probably a new one.

[ Nico cocks his head. ]

How long have you been doing this?

[ She's still trying to meet someone else's eye. Come on someone, anyone. Just give her an excuse. ]

What, being me?

Yeah. You said you only get two years.

Uh huh.

It's been a couple months. Twenty two left to go. But now I'm here and these fine ladies and gentlemen, don't even appreciate just what kind of limited engagement they're getting!
