There are a lot of libraries in the city, but I haven't been to many of them. I have friends who are pretty big readers though so sometimes I'll borrow their books or ask for recommendations.
[ gods bless the athena cabin. but since tiger is on the bench, he will be polite and have a seat on the floor in front of them to give them some space while also giving them his attention. he is kind of sitting in a way to counterbalance something in his hood, but not enough to be uncomfortable. sometimes you just like being on the ground. ]
But yeah, camp. It's a summer camp, but some people live there year-round. I just happen to be one of them.
It's a place for people like us to stay if we don't have other homes, or if we come from families that we can't stay with full time or anything. Or even those of us who just want to stay to keep training.
It's home. [ it's the first thing he says, more out of instinct but in a way that says he firmly believes this is a good thing. ] It wasn't easy at first. I didn't stay for a long time. Back then, I...didn't feel like I belonged there. But eventually things got better. I met people who made me realize otherwise after a lot of arguing.
[ haha. but...he grins a little. ]
It's important for me to get back there. And keep our world safe.
Yeah, I think so, too. But I also think that as long as you have people who make you feel that way you can be pretty much anywhere. [ ... ] Was the place you were before a place you felt safe?
...can I ask why that might be? [ mostly he sounds concerned because that...seems very unpleasant. and a good way to be demotivated to fight for your own home. ]
[ he does not like that he's not able to sense these things anymore, so unfortunately for tiger nico's staring at them for a moment as if that'll help. ]
Death is a constant in every world. You can live a long life, but eventually you will meet it head-on. And oftentimes it's my face people see in their last moments.
[They tap their visor.]
That's what this costume is for, to keep people from being scared of me on sight.
If anything, the last face I'd ever see when I do eventually die is my father's, and that's going to be the face I see for every day I'm in his domain. [ plainly said. ] ...do you cover your face like that back where you're from then?
It comes with the territory. [ it's a joke himself, but also. it's true. he considers this for a moment. ]
I suppose you could say we're complete opposites, yes. But we've known each other for years and...we've been through a lot together. [ mostly true. they have known each other for years in general, but only got to know each other about a year ago. but that year and some change ago really was full of A Lot so. ]

[Because it IS unusual, but White Tiger knows better than to assume it's for a good reason.]

That's good. Everyone should have a place where they belong.

...no. It wasn't. Not for me at least. Though I think the same would be true regardless of what world I was in.

Death follows me everywhere I go. It's been in me since birth, and I will always be its agent.
no subject
...a curse? Or your world's embodiment of death?

How is always guaranteed?

Yes. Though it was everything except my eyes that were covered then, so this is a bit of a change.
[Then, curious:]
Are you a demigod too?
no subject
[ well. there's no sense denying it. ]
Yes. Which I can only guess means you already spoke to Will?
no subject
So that would make you a demigod of Hades?

Sunshine and the underworld. What an interesting combination.
[Like it's pretty obvious the two of them are into each other. They think it's sweet.]

[That's something Tiger can't relate to, unfortunately.]

...it took a while to find him. But before that I spent most of my time alone. I sort of thought it would always be that way.
