[So. There it is. His own little store.

Nico isn't entirely sure what he's supposed to do with it. It was a spur of the moment decision. He already picked up some supplies to make signage. Poster board and markers. This was not going to be fancy place, no sir. He would have done this yesterday, but thanks to the anomaly, he'd forgotten about it.

He's going to need product as well. Which means he should probably make some kind of announcement. Ugh.]

[ Video ]

I've, um, opened a store for second hand goods in Sector 3, so if you've got any items you no longer need or want, I'd be happy to take them off your hands...

[ Action ]

[Nico can be found at the shop most of the day, cursing over signs, accepting donations, scratching his head over what he's got himself into, or maybe dozing off when it gets too quiet.]

	[He stalls to gather his thoughts, picks the shirts up from the floor and kneads it between his hands. How much does he need to say?] We're from the same world, yeah. I've known him for years. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{Sarah realizes she's missing something...] You didn't like him did you. [It's a statement that could easily be turned into a question.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[The shirt's going to tear if he twists it any tighter.] I... I tried not to. [But it's the opposite, really. He could never hate Percy, no matter how hard he tried. And he tried. He tried so hard not to feel what he really felt.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Sarah realizes she's doing something wrong. So she does what she does best... launches into a full on babble about nothing related.]

I had a friend once... called Ludo. He was this big shaggy monster thing who could talk to rocks. And a lot of people were scared of him because big scary monster... but he was really nice. And he saved us from all sorts of things. Especially when the bridge over the Bog of Eternal Stench had collapsed and I was hanging for my life from a vine. See... the if you touch the Bog of Eternal Stench, you'll smell bad FOREVER! But he called the rocks and I was able to get across without touching the Bog...

Huh. [It's the most eloquent thing he can manage. He was knife's edge away from panic - and it wasn't her fault. She didn't do anything wrong. But he wouldn't know how to tell her that.

He doesn't really hear the first part of what she says. It's just a murmur that overlaps the blood rushing through his ears. But he's able to focus on it. He releases the death grip on the the shirt.]

For real? That really happened?

[Oh good. He's talking again. She keeps going.]

Mmhm. The rocks and all. But I don't really know what happened next because I was hungry and Hoggle gave me a peach. And then next then I know I was in a bubble dressed in a fancy ball gown. It was like a dream you know? And I was looking for someone. I thought I'd found him. This really creepy guy who looked like Jareth the Goblin King. But then a clock rang and I realized it wasn't Jareth I was looking for but Toby my brother. So I broke the bubble with a chair and I fell... and then I ended up here.

	[The shirt is forgotten. He sits down on the floor.] Sounds like you've been some ordeal. Was it that labyrinth? We talked about that before, didn't we? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2014-10-24 03:16 pm UTC (link)
	[Sarah sits across from him and nods.] Jareth's Labyrinth. I have to get to the middle to get my brother back before he turns into a goblin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-10-24 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	Right. [He remembers that. From somewhere.] Have you met Jareth yet? What's a goblin king like? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2014-10-25 04:02 pm UTC (link)
	Oh yes. Right when I wanted my brother back. He's... really tall. Wears a lot of eye make-up. He actually looks like he belongs in a rock band? But he's creepy too. I don't really understand him all the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-10-26 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	A rock band? [He smiles.] I thought goblins were small and squatty. Ugly, you know? And the king would just be a bigger version of that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2014-10-27 12:26 am UTC (link)
	The rest of them are. They're just absolutely horrid! But Jareth was... different. In fact... he could... could almost be... attractive... [She turns bright red as she says it. Feelings like this are things she's never really explored.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-10-28 05:03 am UTC (link)
	Hm. Oh. [Well. Alright then. Apparently more than almost attractive?] What about your brother? What's he like? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2014-10-30 12:15 am UTC (link)
	[Better topic. She can talk about this.] He's a little under one. Mostly crawls but occasionally toddles. I think he'll be a really cool little brother one day, when he grows up a bit. But he's kind of annoying right now. Always crying. ... Not that I want the Goblins to take him away or anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-10-31 02:28 am UTC (link)
	Oh. So he's really, really small then. He needs someone to look out for him. He's lucky to have you for a sister. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2014-11-02 03:50 am UTC (link)
	[Sarah nods and then blushes.] OH... I... I wished the goblins would take him away. That's not really a nice thing for a sister to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-11-02 04:37 am UTC (link)
	But you're trying to get him back? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2014-11-02 08:55 pm UTC (link)
	Of course I am. He's probably really scared without me right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-11-03 12:57 am UTC (link)
	You made a mistake. But you're trying to correct it. You're still a good sister. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2014-11-03 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	[She kind of smiles.] Thanks for saying so. I think this sort of taught me a lesson. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-11-06 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	What's that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2014-11-07 01:24 am UTC (link)
	Not to speak impulsively? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-11-07 09:21 pm UTC (link)
	[He nods.] That's a good lesson. Especially if goblins are involved. Most especially if they have a good looking king. You can't trust good looking kings. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2014-11-09 08:31 pm UTC (link)
	[Sarah laughs.] No probably not. [By now, most of the stuff seems to be back up on the shelves. She turns back to him.] Well, I think I should go now. If there's anything else you need, let me know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-11-10 05:18 pm UTC (link)
	Right. [Oh, awkward good-bye time. Okay. He shoves his hands in his pockets.] Thanks for all your help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
