	Doesn't sounds like a vampire kind of place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You'd think, but that's where the Hellmouth is. Largest demonic hot spot in the country, I'd wager. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2016-11-14 12:20 pm UTC (link)
	Hellmouth. An entrance to Hell? [He had seen pictures, old ones in museums, of a literal mouth swallowing people up. But for him it was a suffocatingly dark pit, so deep he lost all concept of time. A ring of frost spreads around him, but he doesn't notice.] How could anyone live there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-11-16 06:03 am UTC (link)
	It's not open - yet. Mortality rates gone up though, but that's to be expected. [ He smokes, casually noting the chill in the air. Vampires are dulled to subtle temperature changes and he can't remember the last time he ever felt cold during winter, but he sees this. He notices this where Nico doesn't. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds pleasant. [Except for the part where it doesn't.] Shouldn't people be warned away from someplace like that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-11-17 04:15 am UTC (link)
	Not really my department, that. Doesn't really matter, either. There's always something around trying to kill you, no matter where you are. Besides, leaving the Hellmouth unguarded is a sure fire way for someone to try and open it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2016-11-17 06:05 pm UTC (link)
	...That's true. [He had a lot of experience with things trying to kill him no matter where he was.] But there should be some effort to reduce unnecessary casualties. ...If you care about that sort of thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-11-18 04:52 am UTC (link)
	That's where the Slayer comes in. I've told you about the Slayer, haven't I? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2016-11-18 11:28 am UTC (link)
	I... No. I don't think so. I assume that's someone who slays things. Doesn't sound like a good thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-11-20 08:53 am UTC (link)
	Into every generation a slayer is born: one girl in all the world, a chosen one. She alone will wield the strength and skill to fight the vampires, demons, and the forces of darkness; to stop the spread of their evil and the swell of their number. She is the Slayer. She's the one who saves the world, frequently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2016-11-20 06:40 pm UTC (link)
	That sounds rehearsed. [Bit like a prophecy, but with less bad rhyming.] So she's some kind of hero? And she fights people like you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-11-21 03:14 am UTC (link)
	That's the way it's written. Can't beat the original table of contents, can you? [ Or he's just lazy. ] She kills people like me. Unless I kill her first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2016-11-21 11:58 am UTC (link)
	At least it's specific. [He nods.] If she were to die, another would take her place? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-11-22 10:05 am UTC (link)
	That's the way it works. Snuffed out two of them, so far- [ And he has a feeling that's where it'll stop, glory be damned. ] -but there's always some poor lit'le teenage girl somewhere waiting to be awoken. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2016-11-22 11:34 am UTC (link)
	[He sometimes forgets that Spike was a bad guy.] It's always teenagers. You'd think the Fates [or your choice of destiny-wielding entity] would want an adult - someone with experience. [Instead of ruining the lives of children.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-11-24 02:18 pm UTC (link)
	[ Biggest bad around, for awhile. ] Adults can't be moulded the way a teen can. That's what they do, you know. They pick someone who can't fight back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2016-12-02 12:49 am UTC (link)
	[He opens his mouth, but ... yeah.] Sounds about right. [Said with no small amount of bitterness.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-12-04 09:03 am UTC (link)
	You'd know all about that, huh. [ With sympathy. The Chosen Teenager stuff is bullshit, even if he can understand intellectually why it's such a popular prophecy. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2016-12-04 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	Sort of. Percy had been the Child of Prophecy. It would have been me, if anything had happened to him. [And Hades had tried to make that anything happen. It hadn't worked - and that was probably for the best. That didn't stop Nico from getting roped into prophecies regardless.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-12-05 03:44 am UTC (link)
	Ah, so you're a potential. [ He hasn't lived it yet but still there's a flash of a memory of a house full of teenage girls, readying for battle, preparing to be the Chosen one all at once. Right there at the end. There's not a lot to remember after that part. ] Harder being the understudy, isn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I was. The prophecy was fulfilled. That one, at least. There's always more. [Like the one that made him a POW straight out of Tartarus.

He shrugs.] It's harder when everyone thinks you evil incarnate. [He's sure no one was thrilled that the death kid was one step away from being in charge of the fate of the world. Another reason Percy was more suited to be the hero. Nico had been a tiny ball of anger.]

	[ He nods — yeah, there's always more. Some prophecy, some big bad, some end of the world. ] Only if you care about being evil. [ His problem always seemed to go in the opposite direction — being evil and not being believed. ] Or what people think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2016-12-09 12:14 am UTC (link)
	I'm not evil. ...Not-not really... [Funny how thin the line between good and evil really was. Sometimes it all boiled down to motivation and which side you were standing on.] Anyway, I don't care what people think. [He absolutely cares what people think. But he's not about to change integral parts of himself to gain acceptance.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
