[ another blink. ]

There's... not really any realm without magic. It's just the Mist tends to cloud the vision of normal mortals so they don't recognize it. At least, where I'm from anyway.

[thestoriesarereal]

[Lucy pauses again, looking at Nico with some confusion.]

The world I'm from, or...was at, New York is a city and it's really a realm without magic. Unless magic is brought there, it's just a normal world and fairy tales are just stories.

[deathkid]

[ given the plethora of universes out there, nico doesn't look all that surprised. rather, he's not surprised if anything. a world where fairy tales are just stories... seems legit. ]

Different worlds, different magic and rules.

[thestoriesarereal]

Yeah, and the rules are harder to keep track of.

[She looks over her notes.]

Thank you for telling me more about the fight with the beast, and more information about Olympus.

[deathkid]

That they are. And it was no problem. If you want to hear anything else, feel free to ask.

[ the attention is kind of nice, considering most people avoid him. ]

[thestoriesarereal]

Well...is there anything you want to ask of me?

And I don't know what else to ask, since Ivar hasn't told me any other stories yet.

[deathkid]

Hm... What do you know about the Greek Gods?

[thestoriesarereal]

That the main ones were Zeus, Hades, and Posidean. And they weren't just gods, they were born from someone else, but Zeus took over...

[Give her a moment, she knows she knows more but her mind is coming up short.]

And Hera didn't like Hercules...or much of anyone I think.

[deathkid]

Yeah, Hera is kind of a... σκύλα. You've got the Big Three gods down, but there's actually 13 Olympians. Zeus, my dad, Poseidon, Athena, Hera, Hephaestus, Apollo, Aphrodite, Ares, Hermes, Demeter, Dionysus, and Artemis.

[thestoriesarereal]

...A what?

[She doesn't know greek.]

Yes! I couldn't remember their names. Athena was wise, He..Hephaetus [It takes her a moment to say it correctly.] was a...blacksmith? Apollo was the sun god, Artemis was the huntress, Ares was war, Hermes was a messenger..and Dionysus was the one who liked to party and drink.

[Okay, she feels a bit better now.]

Do they all get along now? Or not so much?

[deathkid]

Never mind. [ he's not going to curse in front of a child, no matter how much he hates hera. ]

That's pretty good. There's also lots of minor gods, like Hestia and Eros. They all have stories. And most have demigod kids. Especially Hermes and Apollo.

Who, the gods? Or Hera and Hercules?

[thestoriesarereal]

Okay...

[Maybe he was saying something bad...oh well.]

I'll have to check out the library for them. Or check out the bookstore. I'll be sure to bring Victor with me, he likes books too.

Uh, the Gods, I mean. I doubt Hera and Hercules would be able to get along.

[deathkid]

[ your intuition is right, kid. ]

When I'm not working, I can tell you some stories too. As for the gods, they sometimes bicker, but most of the time they get along.

[thestoriesarereal]

[Her intuition is right!

Most of the time anyway.]

You work? I thought...I mean, you're a demi-god. You have powers and stuff. I thought you wouldn't need to work.

Unless you enjoy it. [She shrugs her shoulders.]

Really? Do I need to ...uhh..offer you something in return? [Forgive her, she doesn't know how this whole 'talking to a demi-god' works.]

[deathkid]

Well, it's not like I get food for free or anything. I still have to earn money, so I work as a bouncer for a nightclub.

And no, you don't. We can just grab some burgers and milkshakes and chat.

[ he's a pretty normal guy, aside from the phenomenal necromantic powers. ]

[thestoriesarereal]

Oh, I thought you could just...conjure it up.

[And that sounds a bit silly now that she's said it out loud. Ignore the slight blush on her cheeks.]

Really? [Her eyes go wide and she's super excited.] I'd really like that! I just need to let my grandma know, or ask her, but I'm sure she would be fine with it! Or, maybe you know her? Her name's Emma Swan.

[deathkid]

I, uh, don't think I do. But yeah, if you get permission, I can come get you. I'll show you one of my powers: shadow traveling.

[thestoriesarereal]

No way?! You’d really do that? You’re so cool!

[ Wait, calm down. Just calm down. ]

I’ll go and ask right now.

But, if I were to talk to the other Gods....do I need to offer up anything?

[deathkid]

Heh, I don't know about "cool." But shadow traveling certainly is.

You shouldn't need to offer up anything. Most of the gods here are pretty chill. If you talk to the younger Loki, he might even have some more cool stories to tell you.

[thestoriesarereal]

It is cool! I’ve never heard of traveling by shadow, I don’t think Regina has either.

You really think they would be up for sharing other stories? Wow, I thought gods would be more...intimidating or too busy for that.

And I’m asking now, just waiting for an answer.

[deathkid]

Should I ask who Regina is?

[ because if she's someone connected with shadows somehow... ]

I do. The younger Loki is... [ a complicated story. ] a friend. He's pretty chatty too.

That's fine. I can wait.

[thestoriesarereal]

You can, it’s okay. She’s my other grandma and she’s also know as The Evil Queen. She’s pretty powerful.

[ She’s not, but Regina can travel by smoke and that’s just as cool. ]

I’ll have to ask later then. Maybe I should have something handy....just in case. I don’t want to upset anyone or make a bad impression.

[Her cheeks are going to be hurting after today. ] Emma said its okay. Should I wait outside?

[deathkid]

Evil Queen? [ that's not worrisome at all.... ]

Right, uh... Are you in the residential housing? I don't even know where the kids stay. Tell me where you are and I can get there.

[thestoriesarereal]

Long story. She’s not evil anymore.

Yes I am...uhh.. [ She hasn’t memorized the address just yet give her a moment. ]

On the third floor of the housing building.

[deathkid]

Oh....kay.

[ yeah, he isn't sure what to say to that. instead, he makes a note of where she's at and grabs his coat and wallet, preparing to travel there. ]

I'll meet you by the elevator.
