Day 311 [Voice / Open] [Action / Open]
[Voice / Open]
[Normally when Artemis addresses the network she just goes video. Why not? Today, the why not is that when she went to the mirror and looked at herself it wasn't her looking back. It was Tigress. Sure, she was Tigress, but she looked different with the dark hair and different facial features, not to mention costume with the help of the charm Zatanna had made for her. She'd done it to go under cover as one of the bad guys. Or she would do it five years from now. The only reason she even knows about it is because of the day her memories fast forwarded themselves. Except she doesn't have any but the vaguest details about that so it couldn't have happened again, right? So, why was she seeing the wrong person when she looked at herself?]

That pearl thing. It's true. I mean, even if you don't think it's doing something to you, it probably is. I was kind of a jerk about some stuff and if I snapped at anyone you probably didn't deserve it. [No guarantees though.]

And Nico, I've got some stuff for your store. Lots of stuff. Actually, you should probably help carry it and bring some people to assist. [The hoarding is over!]

So, that's it I guess. [A pause.] Is everything...normal out there?

[Action / Open]
[If you live in or visit the apartments in sector 2 you can find Artemis in her apartment—and spilling into the hallway—trying to box up the stuff she over-collected while under the thrall of the green pearl.]

	... [Sigh.] I do look ... different. [Thanks for noticing, by the way.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You do? [Surprised since he doesn't, but if he thinks he does.] What about me? Do I look different? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tigress. [A pause as she's thinking, you better not be thinking an actual female tiger.] It was my codename or it will be my codename in about five years when I go undercover with a glamor spell on me to make me look different. Dark hair. Different features. [Not super different, but not her own.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I just got a glimpse that day some of us ended up remembering more or less. I forgot most of it. Just the highlights left. [Is her boyfriend dying a highlight?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Curses. He was hoping the topic would drop and he could slip away.] Nothing dramatic. Little things. Um, not worth discussing, really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Sigh.] I don't know. Um. [He looks at his hand, still pale and bony, and can see now that nothing has really changed.] I looked healthy. Not like ... me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She looks at the hand too before her eyes travel back up to his.] ...Are you sick? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Action nico_di_angelo 2015-03-19 03:39 am UTC (link)
	No. [...] No? I've just ... A lot has happened. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Action nico_di_angelo 2015-03-19 06:49 pm UTC (link)
	No. [He hesitates.] Though, the last time I was ... okay, I was ten. So I've grown and changed anyway. But ... I always wondered what it would have been like, if- if things had been different. If it hadn't all gone wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	All wrong because of who your dad is? [Doesn't that feel familiar?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's part of it, yeah. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[If it's something he doesn't really like talking about ... a lot.] Yeah... [A small hesitation, a sigh, and then,] I fell into Tartarus and was captured by giants. It ... I almost died. Starvation, mostly. But even before that, I ... I think being underground so much? The Underworld can suck the life right out of you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Her life has been such that she doesn't have many hurdles following or believing that. Giants? Sure. Tartarus? Why not? She talks about clones and aliens and evil monkey robots. Just not at the moment because this is about Nico.]

I guess a place for the dead doesn't have a lot to keep the living alive. [She frowns.] So, it changed you. Probably makes it hard to even recognize yourself. [Which, okay, is more about her now because that's how she's feeling today.]

	No, not really. [Persephone did have a garden down there, but you wouldn't want to eat from it. Not if you were living. He'd survived captivity with one of her pomegranates, but ... that was part of the problem. He gives a slight nod.] Yeah. I... Yeah. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Action greenerarrow 2015-03-30 04:28 am UTC (link)
	What about when you close your eyes? Do you recognize yourself then? [Not the face, but the person behind it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Action nico_di_angelo 2015-03-31 12:21 am UTC (link)
	[He slowly shakes his head, like he's thinking about it still even as he answers.] No. Not really. [He's lost too many of his memories, been guided and shoved by too many outside forces, kept too much of himself buried and secret.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
