WHO: Nico di Angelo and Eve Levine
WHAT: The Ghost and the Necromancer have a chat
WHEN: This afternoon
WHERE: The graveyard
WARNINGS: Talk of death?
STATUS: Closed/Ongoing
There were a lot of new ghosts in town. Nico felt them even if he didn't want to. He knew that he could order them to shut up and they'd have to listen, but that kind of felt mean. After all, of course they'd want to talk to him. He was one of the few people in town who could actually hear him. He knew what it felt like to exist in a world where people ignored you or couldn't hear you. That had been a good part of his life.
It was edging towards dusk as Nico made his way to the graveyard. He came here at least a couple of times a week to greet any new ghosts who died, and simply to have some peace. There was nothing scary about death to Nico. It was an integral part of who he was.
He sat on a stone bench among the tombstones and closed his eyes. It was quiet and peaceful here. He could hear the birds in the trees nearby, and every once in a while a nearby cricket.
Then a ghost appeared.
"Hi," he said. "You're one of the new ones."
He didn't even bother opening his eyes. He didn't need to.
