[ Oh gods. That actually surprises a laugh out of Nico - so surprised that he chokes on it just about immediately - but a laugh nonetheless. He can picture it now. Hell, he can just about reshape those points Luke is talking about from here. ]

It'd sure move everything along faster.

[timeshares]

[That... was a different sound. Not a bad one. He leans back against one of the posts.]

With a score board, you could compete with your sister.

Just saying.

[abandon_hope]

[ Not a lot of people get to hear it. He even smiles a little afterwards. ]

Hazel would beat me for sure.

[timeshares]

You'd need to practice more, then. Greek pride and all that.

[abandon_hope]

Can't let a Roman win, huh? Even my sister.

[ A small paddle manifests out of the rock around them, obligingly. One of the spirits drifts a little too close ... and off he goes. ]

[timeshares]

[He. He can't help but laugh at that. It's an actually honest sounding one. But there was just this look of surprise on the spirit's face...

And could swear little ghostly arms were up as it zoomed up one corridor and down another. Like a rollercoaster.]

... That's perfect.

I don't know any Roman's so I'm pretty secure in my bias. You shouldn't let anyone win. Not when you can tilt the board. Time honored pinball tradition.

[abandon_hope]

That might draw a little too much attention.

[ But he gestures again and sets up a few more nice bouncy spots. Not enough to really hold things up, but just enough to make things a bit more fun for all these spirits... ]

[timeshares]

You say that now...

But half-bloods are build competitive.

[He considers the 'board' a bit.]

... maybe a bumper there, for anyone that gets caught on the delta...

[abandon_hope]

[ Nico obliges by raising up another one. Hmm. A few inches to the left ... ]

Not bad.

[timeshares]

Not bad? I'm gonna call this worthy of song and stone etchings.

[abandon_hope]

[ He snorts a bit at that. ]

Not quite that great. Maybe when we're done.

[timeshares]

...


You're right.


Animated parts. That's what it needs.

[abandon_hope]

[ Another faint snort. ]

That's gonna take a little more than what I"ve got right now ...

[timeshares]

I guess I'll be seeing you tomorrow then.

[The shrug is casual enough, but he definitely ggglllances at Nico, judging the godling's expression.]

[abandon_hope]

Tomorrow, then.

[ He seems ... pleased by all of this. Quietly, in his own way. ]

[timeshares]

[Luke doesn't make any attempt to hide a smile. He stretches, some memory of having a body.]

I should get back to work, then.

... Get ready, I've got some great ideas for this thing.
