[ still feels kind of bad, but that was a little like being forgiven, right ]

Me? I'm being a bad influence. If it were up to Jason, he'd never cause trouble for anyone.

[ probably as close as you're going to get from a son of Hades ]

... You're corrupting him?

Only a little. I'd rather get him to play hooky, but that's not really possible when we're not supposed to be in school in the first place.

[ snorts a bit ]

Skip training?

That's not a bad idea.

Don't know where you'd go, though.

That doesn't matter much.

[ ALL WE NEED IS EACH OTHER'S COMPANY not actually saying that because don't be gross Piper

not allowed ]

I thought you were a little more rule-abiding, though.

[ shrugs ]

These aren't my rules.

Wanna try?

To ... pull people's pants down... ?

Maybe not that specifically. It's just easy to do on the fly like this. But you know, pulling a joke on someone.

[ deadpan ]

Sure. That's what children of Hades are good at. Having a great sense of humor.

[ raises her eyebrows, looking down at herself momentarily, in her hoodie and jeans

yes that was a good point to be making to Piper McLean, Nico ]

Are they? You're the only one I know of, so you tell me.

[ startled by that. unsure of how to respond. ]

... Pranks are stupid. There's more important things to worry about.

The point is really to not be worrying. But if pranks aren't your thing, that's cool.

[ what is this acceptance ... kind of stares at her, trying to figure out if she's kidding or not. after a moment... ]

I could get you close without them noticing.

That would be awesome! And Gods know Jason could use the help.

[ eyes him ]

He's the world's least sneaky person, isn't he.

[ and you said you had no sense of humor ]

The least sneaky, most genuine, considerate, goody-two-shoes prankster I've ever seen.

[ can you even call him a prankster? probably not ]

[ yeah, he's side-eying that description too ]

I'm surprised you got him to agree to do it.

I don't need charmspeak to be persuasive.

[ well not with Jason anyway ]

[ you're convincing me too ]

... hmph.

Who are you trying to prank?

Pretty much anyone. We already hit Leo and Frank, but that doesn't mean Leo isn't still fair game.

Jason, too.

[ true friendship is when your two best friends are first in line to get thrown mercilessly under the prank bus ]

[ apparently ... he glances over at Jason ]

Him, then.

[ YES ]

So what's the plan?
