[CLOSED] So a couple of thanatotic teens wander into a cave...
WHO: Nico, Persephone, Batman, a large number of Virginian Big Eared Bats
WHERE: A cave with bats in it . . . some kind of bat-having-cave
WHEN: December 1st
WHAT: an HONEST MISTAKE
WARNINGS: discussion of bad mental health junk likely
[ So it starts like this: she knows she's been spending all day and night and day with her pantheon mates, and in particular adult activities, so it was time to spend some quality time with the kid.
It helped that they shared a rather specific idea of a good time: exploring anything interesting things they could find deep underground. So Nico made a pack with water bottles and snacks (though either one of them could have returned them home instantly) and set out. The rules they set for themselves were fairly straightforward: Persephone would tunnel them to the nearest traversible place, and from there Nico would only use his power to maintain their path forward and she would only use hers to mark their trail with faintly glowing pink blossoms, blooming perpetually and impossibly in the pitch black.
For a while they didn't find much besides rocks and darkness and silence (which there was nothing wrong with, mind you). But eventually Persephone caught scent of something alive, not so very far off. Following that, it was impossible not to notice artificial light somewhere up above them, but still well below the surface.
So that's why there's a latticework of bright green vines and glowing pink flowers growing up from a chasm and over the ledge, and two teens who absolutely do not have clearance are climbing their way up towards not the bat cave, as in a cave with bats, but rather The Bat Cave, which is something a bit more specific. ]
