《The Gotham Ghost King》Pure Crack
Advertisement
It only took 8 hours until Nico's temper tantrum died down. Impressive, as his last one took 12 days, a trip to Mexico, and an egged house for it to die down completely.
During those 8 hours, Nico summoned a total of 67 skeletons, pulled on their hair 37 times, landed 18 punches on one person or another, and interrupted one (1) intense Percabeth makeout session with a kick that knocked them over.
When he came to, the room around him was trashed, all of their clothes had a minimum of three rips, Annabeth was slumped over a rafter after fighting the last 17 skeletons, and Percy was slumped against the wall.
"Uhm. What's happened?" Nico asked.
"Are you finally fucking done?" Annabeth yelled down, neither of the adults moving.
"Done with what?"
"Thank Hades." Percy muttered.
"Okay. Firstly, where's Will? Secondly, why does it look like we've been attacked by a chainsaw?"
"Will's in the corner. We tranqued you, dragged you over here, learned some shit about Two Face, and got Will back. Secondly, hello chainsaw."
"Ok..."
"Too add on, Two Face is Ethan Nakamura with brain damage, the Bat Family showed up at one point and we almost had to fight them, and then we sat around as you tried to beat us up for eight hours."
"Ethan Nakamura? But he's-"
"No no. He's alive. He looks like he's been skinned on left side, and he's got a fuck ton of brain damage, but he's alive."
"Hm. He was definitely dead last I checked."
"We never found his body."
"I certainly found his soul floating around in Elysium after the Titan's War."
"Well then."
"... Shit. I need to go check this out if he really is here. Want to cover for me for a few days?"

"Really Di Angelo?" Annabeth asked.
"I don't need to fake a week-long kidnapping."
"What's in it for us?" Percy asked.
"A soundproofed, monster-proofed house that you could live in for a few days."
"... I'm in."
"Same."
"Okay. You guys keep up appearances and make sure that he doesn't murder me later. Have fun!"
Nico dove into the shadows, leaving the others behind.
"Did Nico just leave us to deal with his boyfriend?"
"Seems so."
"And isn't said boyfriend going to be pissed to high heavens when he finds that Nico just left without any real prep."
"... Gods dam you Nico."

School year is already off to a great start. We were supposed to start yesterday, but the smoke was bad enough that the district cancelled.
Short chapter, complete and total crack.
Is anybody else starting school 'round now? If so, how's it going?

Yours faithfully, Jessaire Sev-ConteneSenior ClerkNorth Hill Waypost Sebastian Lewis has been offered an administrative position at a minor outpost in a relatively obscure frontier territory.

The Book of Hickory
Now why did Hickory go and punch that Angel? Sure it spooked him, popping up right there at lunch, and yet, it wasn't fear that balled his hand into a fist - Cause wouldn't you? Wouldn't anyone - with a sick Ma at home, Da long dead, buried, all them prayers piling up on bruised knees, unanswered? Hickory was angry, all right. He was fierce, now - cause that Angel didn't show up to give no help, that Angel came by asking for it - with all that power just plain to see, the power to fix the world and all that ails it! And now look what poor Hickory has to do - to save the world? Now how is he supposed to do that when its taking near everything he's got - just to keep them chickens safe, Ma fed, and himself out of trouble - All he wanted was maybe just a dance with May, maybe a bit more, to hold her close? That she's sweet, now, a voice like an angel, but now she's over there lookin at him like he's more than a man. And that's not to say Hickory is bad, not all the time, not ever on purpose - just there are things a man has to - That drinking and fighting ain't wrong just as long as the chores are done proper first, that those parts of life that make it worth living ain't no sin, that loving a lady is proper and Hickory just has so much love to give! And May is special, right, sweet and soft, now she's sophisticated. That she wears her passion like a pearl necklace? That certainly Hickory would notice, naturally - that she's already spoken for, perhaps taken? That ever since Hickory came back, that all she can think about is swallowing - those strange feelings, because it wouldn't do, would it? For a Lady? But certainly she can worship him and still be seen with Weston Covanger? Because Weston needs May, that what happens in the Study is only half the battle, the Men's Business, and he's far too proud to settle for half of anything. That if he wants to move up the ranks of his family, to be more than a Covanger, to become the Covanger? He's going to need a woman in the Kitchen as well - he's going to need May. And if that seems a bit old fashioned? A bit too much like the Wild West? Well the West is starting to get wild again now that everyone starts to Drink. A different take on LitRPG where answers aren't given - they must be earned, discovered and fought for, one at a time. An orator style, a long read, filled with magic buildings, crafting, alchemy, but most of all - This is a story about the human spirit. About understanding what defines a person, their morals, their beliefs, and also faith when everything they understand becomes challenged - changed. So do they. People can change. They will. Just not always for the better, not always - sometimes. Sometimes that's enough. Sometimes that's even everything.
