"Yeah, yeah, I left Charon in charge of the dog. Dad's fine. No--" Sigh.
The young man speaking into his cellphone may have looked a bit strange in a land that didn't have watches, let alone smartphones. He was getting odd looks with his mirrored shades, green skin, and high class clothing, but any stares he was given were politely turned before he could meet their eye (or at least, so the onlookers thought), assuming it was just a skin condition. Or that he was a Gorgon. That would make sense too.
He continued to deflect the speaker's muffled interrogation, obviously his mother, before walking into a dark, dead-end alleyway. That certainly wasn't what rich kids did--but if anyone were to look, they'd have no proof.
The boy wasn't even in Ancient Greece anymore.
Demetrios emerged from another little nook and cranny in the world, a few blocks away from Auradon Prep. And, thank the Gods, so so
so many miles away from the Underworld. But his conversation with his mother was far from over, and as the argument escalated, he was whisper-screaming strings of Greek into his phone a mile a minute.
"Αντίο, μαμά."More muffled arguing from the other end.
"Αντίο!" Demetri shut the smartphone off after hanging up, massaged a headache. He just wanted to get settled into the dorms as soon as possible.

Upon entering the building, Demetri breathed a sigh of relief. The softer light inside was a few steps removed from what he'd experienced on his walk there, and combined with his shades did a little to ease his agitated migraine. While he was glad to be away from the drab and dreary environment of his home-pocket-dimension, being born in Asphodel made one's eyes weak to direct sunlight, and since he didn't even
have eyes, he was a little worse off than Thanatos or Melinoe.
He perked up at noticing the white and blue-haired girl across the room, and rolled up the sleeves of his sweater while smoothing the rest out. A good balance of casual but polite, right? It's nice to leave a good first impression. He cleared his throat and put on a polite smile.
"Hello, you are a student too?" He asked.
