[Video: Seelie] 01 Shadow
[Nico doesn't trust the Unseelie side. In fairness, he doesn't exactly trust the Seelie side, either. Of the two, he can at least trust that the Seelie side won't stab him in the back while he's asleep. He expects them to do it during the daytime.
At any rate, he decides to let his...allies (?) know at least one of his abilities. Two at most. The rest are best used as aces in his sleeves or whenever it actually comes up.
So, when the video feed comes on, Nico looks like he's up in a tree. He is because, man, he doesn't want his conversation jacked by Luke like in Jason's.]
My name is Nico di Angelo. The topic of transportation has come up a few times, and if the worms are any indication, then I expect that they're just the start of whatever we're going to be facing in this world. That's not even including the fact that we're most likely going to do battle with other people.
[A flicker of distaste crosses his face. Being a civilian in one war between mortals and a soldier in a war between demigods is just...not his idea of a fun time. Still, it needs to be said.]
I have abilities that don't include being good with a sword. I'm only comfortable with talking about two of them at this time. One is called shadow travel. It's best used at night, but the basics of this power is that I can go from one shadow to another no matter where it is. Distance and the amount of people I take with me have a very important factor in how much of an energy toll I get. Over seven thousand miles on my own will probably knock me out for a straight week, just to give an example. Even short jumps could leave me exhausted. I'm best used for emergency back up or just for emergency transportation if someone gets badly injured.
[Nico pauses, thinking about how to phrase the other one.]
The second ability...I'm able to affect the dead. I don't need anything special, it's just something that's natural for me. From spirits to the walking dead, I can either kill or banish them. Talk to them, too, in the case of ghosts.
[Okay, yeah, that's a lot of information, and hopefully it's useful.]
That's about it.

Or what?

[and that alone might be a consequence enough for you.]

[ can't you tell by this completely innocent smile. ]
You're the one trying to start something, Grace.

If you think that's nasty, you have no idea what I'm capable of.

[why must you make a big deal out of it. at least leo just backed off when told to. you're literally being worse than leo right now.]

It's called tough love, Grace. But I'll try not to offend your delicate sensibilities anymore, if it really bothers you that much.
[ not that she'll try very hard. ]

Grace, you obviously need to hang around the Ares Cabin more. This is pretty much a standard greeting. She reserves the worst for people who managed to get on her list.
[PS: he can take care of himself, Jason, gods.]

Just because it's normal to them doesn't mean it's okay.

Face it, Grace, you're wasting your breath.
[ no need to fight a losing battle okok this is war 101. ]

Please, this is tame. You should hear what she says to and about Percy.
[Some of what she says is actually really funny, even if he doesn't laugh out loud.]

[don't get him wrong, they're bros. but he's also seen evidence of how percy tends to treat people who aren't his immediate focus, and the guy gets jason worked up like no one else.]

If he hadn't been claimed by Poseidon, I almost would've considered him a son of Ares. He's got the attitude for it.
[ and he's annoying enough to be one of her brothers. she really would've loved being able to haze him and not get a face full of toilet water. ]

[Seriously, couple Ares traits with Percy's natural attitude? Bad things happen.]
