After mysterious text (see: Nico's inbox)

[wakemelater]

[Just after 3:30 in the morning, Nico bolts out of bed and stands staring into the dark of the room. He's listening, and waiting, the burst of static still echoing in his head. But nothing happens. He sends a text back before he trips over to Will to shake him.]

Didn't you hear that?

[Will turned over, blinking at the form of Nico leaning over his bed in the middle of the night.]

No. Should I have? ....Should I be concerned you're hearing things in the middle of the night? Go back to bed.

[wakemelater]

Will! I'm serious!

[Another shake.]

I got a ... thing. With the text on the... Text! I got a text!

[sonofacesius]

[He blinks, half asleep and trying to make sense of that string of words Nico put together that didn't seem like a sentence]

You got a thing with the text on a text? What does that have to do with your voices?

[wakemelater]

No!

[He balls his fists and takes a deep breath.]

I heard static - it woke me up - and then a text showed up.

[sonofacesius]

[Okay that made more sense. And Will was waking up.]

Okay. What did the text says?

[wakemelater]

I'm ... not sure. Help...?

[Reading texts was hard enough without the weird distortion.]

I think someone is trying to reach out.

[sonofacesius]

[Yeah, demigods weren't exactly the best people with reading.]

Okay. Do you know where?

[wakemelater]

No. [He shakes his head.] That's all I got. I can try to show you?

[He's still iffy on the tech here, but he can give it a shot.]

[sonofacesius]

Sure. Lemme help.

[Will isn't great with tech, but he's not from the 1930's so, he figures he's got a leg up on Nico.]

Huh.

That's. Weird.

Why you? I didn't hear anything.

[And if he learned anything at Camp, it was that this stuff happened for a reason.]

[wakemelater]

I don't know. I thought it was one of those things that go out to everyone. But if you didn't get it ... I don't know. I don't really know anyone here.

[sonofacesius]

Okay. How about this? I know it's not really your thing, but you might try asking everyone else if they heard anything? That way we can narrow it down?

Kind of like a War Council meeting with the other Head Counselors? More people thinking it through?

[wakemelater]

More people...

[He understands. But he's also used to going it alone. He's not super comfortable with bringing in other people - much less a number of strangers.]

You might be right.
