WHO: Nico di Angelo and OPEN WHAT: Searching for dead turkeys WHEN: Today after school WHERE: A farmhouse not far from the school WARNINGS: TBD STATUS: Open/Ongoing
Nico's conversation with Jaime had left him feeling better and more confident than he had in some time. When he was with her, he felt accepted, and like he could talk about and practice his abilities without feeling like a freak. That was something that was very rare for Nico. He felt okay around Jason, and definitely around Marco, but they were kids. It meant a lot more when it was an adult, and someone he could look up to.
Jaime had believed that there were probably turkeys buried somewhere in Madison Valley, so Tuesday after school, Nico set out to find them. There were farms still within the town, and Nico felt strongly that his best chance to find them would be there. There was an old farmhouse not far from the High School, so when the bell rang, Nico headed there. He walked back and forth over the ground, letting his senses permeate the earth. There were skeletons here, no doubt, but it was hard for him to tell exactly what they were without raising them.
So that was obviously what he was going to have to do. Taking his sword from its sheath and holding it in two hands, he plunged it into the earth. For a moment, there was nothing. Then the ground around Nico's feet began to shake, and in multiple places the earth was disturbed as multiple skeletons of various farm creatures began to claw their way to the surface.
