[ a red prinny appears to lead nico to the sirius theater, where phoenix is currently reclining near back of the audience to watch a rehearsel, feet kicked up on the back of the chair in front of them. ]
Ah, Nico di Angelo! A man of your word, I see.
Ah, Nico di Angelo! A man of your word, I see.
[ he truly is just staring at this prinny wondering why there are different colors now. but it's fine. he follows along, hands in the pockets of his jacket and entering the theater. he will have a seat nearby. carefully. leaning forward so he's not squishing the hood of his jacket against the back of the seat. ]
It's been a day and you doubted me? Harsh, Phoenix. [ he's not remotely serious and he knows what kind of impression he gives off. ] ...I try to follow through on the things that I say as best as I can.
[ he turns to look at the stage though, squinting briefly. ]
Your headquarters are a theater?

Hi, hi! I've got it, just gimme a sec to find it, 'kay?
[ a minute later, nico's phone pings as an image comes through. it's a map of the city that we don't have a graphic for, but he will be able to tell that it's a large, sprawling city with justice circle at the center and a beach to the east. ]
Here you go! It might not match up perfectly anymore, though.

[ there they go. how tall is phoenix compared to nico actually if nico is standing? he's watching them curiously though, a thin smile to the comment. ]
If you haven't noticed, I sort of have a "work in the shadows" theme going on. I'm not always good with spotlights. [ doable. but it's not his priority. ] I don't mind if people notice the things I've done, but it's not something that always needs to be seen. Were you like an actor before becoming a hero then?

[ i temporarily forgot he's kind of short but good to know thank you. ]
I can think of a few people you'd fit right in with. [ dryly. ] But that probably makes things a little easier? [ he seems to be thinking. ] I heard you guys have been here for a couple of months.

They're some of the best people I know. [ softly. but meaningfully. even if he's immediately moving on. ]
What kind of missions? Can I ask? [ there's a pause. ] I figure you guys are leaning into the whole "secret identity" thing because you're heroes but I was just wondering.

Oh? Then I'm honored.
[ they'll give a little, teasing bow before moving on as nico likes. ]
Call it an abundance of caution. [ waves a hand through the air. ] It wasn't my idea, but I think some of the others thought it was novel, too? As long as it doesn't interfere in a fight, I don't mind it.
As for the missions... Well, you could say that I'm used to my world being endangered. I fight for it almost every day.

i don't disagree, as long as the people who live here are happy with the changes
it feels kind of wrong to come into their home and make something better that they don't agree with
is that something you always try to do? make things better than they were

[
the worst thing is that phoenix keeps saying shit and is slowly endearing themselves to nico, and that's going to make this much harder for him to consider leaving. ]
I get it. We're not really supposed to disclose things about who we are either back home to most mortals. Messes with their heads and perception too much. [ he isn't sure how much the leaders know, but at this rate nico figures that phoenix is his so it's fine to say some things. though the mention of the world being endangered daily makes him frown. ]
...we do, too. If it's not one thing it's another. But things finally settled down for a little while back home. I don't know for how long, but I was sort of looking forward to the break.

Ah, so we have that in common.
[ an understanding nod. ]
That was the same for me, too. We'd just finished up a mission and gone home to relax. [ they sigh, but still give nico a smile. ] With luck, we'll both get the vacations we deserve after this.

That's a good question! And one I don't have a definitive answer to.
[ while they do appear to be mildly apologetic about that, they aren't too down about it. ]
Help us look for the information we need, and maybe there's a way to finish this earlier. It's not a guarantee, of course. [ fair warning. ] But one thing we know for sure is that we are missing far more than we should be.

[ why does that not surprise him. ]
I think I would've been more shocked if you did. [ rude. ] It'd help if we knew exactly what kind of information we needed to find to wrap this up.
...a lot of us are missing our things or our powers and memory of how we got here to begin with. Is there even more than that?
