day 297, open video.
[Here's Percy looking pale and a bit... off. It's been a rough morning. One minute he's falling asleep in prison, then the next minute he's fighting the goddess of victory (and nearly dying), and then fighting Polybotes (and nearly dying again), before waking up in prison, right where he'd left off. But there was no way it had just been a dream.

When he speaks, his voice is hoarse like he'd been through a nasty coughing fit. The poison Polybotes had used against him hadn't been a joke and the experience was still fresh in his mind. Just thinking about it was enough to nearly send Percy back to choking and gagging.]

Okay, woke up confused and in pain. [A slight wince as he puts a hand against his throat as if that'll help.] I seriously don't know what's going on right now. Kind of having trouble figuring things out and my memories are all over the place.

[Nothing new for him.]

I'm, like, a decent percent sure that I'm not dying, at least. I mean, I could be wrong, but I sure hope not. I'd hate to die in this thing.

[Ah, yes. The dreaded orange jumpsuit is back.] Nico, we might need a sequel to that first shopping trip we had.

	[Draws back as soon as he notices Nico's caution. That's... strange.] Sector 6? Isn't that place dangerous? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He relaxes when Percy moves back, but still tucks the bracelet away under his sleeve.] So they say. We did some Defense Force training there recently. I want to go back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He tracks the movement with his eyes, but says nothing about it.] ... Oh yeah? Maybe we should both check it out sometime. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-11-13 12:11 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. Okay. [Maybe he'll invite some other people along because because because.] I sensed some dead things there. I want to check it out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Sector 6 party?] Dead... people? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't think so. Not human people, anyway. Some felt incomplete. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[What does that even mean??] Okay, as soon as this stupid ankle thing comes off, we're going. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It means he needs to go and find out what that means!] That's ... tomorrow? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Right. What's it like over there? Anything we should prepare for? Anyone we should bring? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Okay then.]

We didn't go too far in, so I only saw trees. But according to the map, there's a lake, a forest, caves, some open area? What I sensed was deeper in, but I'm not sure exactly where. The inmates there are pretty dangerous. Even the plants can be dangerous. We should be prepared for anything.

[Who to bring?]

U-umm.... [He only has one friend, Percy.] Maybe Yuuri? Or ... I met this guy Kanji. He's pretty cool...

	[Only one friend... that's a lie. Percy's your friend too, Nico! Not a very good friend but he's trying now...] Hey, I'm always prepared. [No, he isn't.] Yuuri and Kanji, huh? If you think they can hold their own in dangerous territory, I'm down for inviting them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-11-13 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	I think so... [He's used to going off on his own. He doesn't choose people to go with him. That doesn't happen. Maybe they shouldn't invite anyone. They're powerful enough on their own, right? Um.] I can ask them tonight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tunapiano 2014-11-14 12:58 am UTC (link)
	[This is an opportunity to make more friends, Nico! While trying not to die! Wow, sounds an awful lot like home.] Great idea, keep me posted. Oh, and don't run off on your own. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-11-14 01:04 am UTC (link)
	Right. [Wait. Slightly offended.] What's that supposed to mean? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tunapiano 2014-11-14 01:07 am UTC (link)
	You kind of do this thing a lot where you... I don't know, lone wolf it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-11-14 01:26 am UTC (link)
	Kind of had to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tunapiano 2014-11-14 03:12 am UTC (link)
	[He already knows arguing about it will get absolutely nowhere, so. Why's he terrible at things like this?] Not anymore, though. You know that, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-11-14 06:26 pm UTC (link)
	[He told Jason he was leaving, both camps. Forever. His plans haven't changed. He regards Percy silently a moment, then sighs.] We have a lot to do to prepare for tomorrow. And you should get settled in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tunapiano 2014-11-15 07:51 am UTC (link)
	[The moment's silence is uncomfortable. Percy's never been good at reading Nico and it's more obvious than ever at this time. He lets the matter drop for now, though his next words are stiff, like he's not sure what to do next.] ... Fine. Thanks for this, by the way. [Gestures to the store.] I can make my way back if you want to go ahead and do your own thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-11-15 07:08 pm UTC (link)
	Sure. No problem. [Nico gets up from the chair he's been parked in and stretches a few kinks out.] I'll get in touch with Yuuri and Kanji today. We can meet up outside Sector 6 early tomorrow. [He pauses on his way out the door.] I, um ... I'm glad you're back. [Gone. So fast. Shadows involved.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
