Set, right? Hey. I'm sorry to bother you I'm Shiro, I don't think we've met Your friend Jonas is lost in Mirth and he's not exactly... sober He's out of coins too So could you do him a favor and make sure he gets home safe? I'll owe you one
We've all had better days Being here is punishment enough I've only just met him but I'll bet anything that a sympathetic ear will get you much farther than a beating
[there's a delivery of a small mason jar, just about 290mL, with a simple note-- even if the writing is anything but simple. in fact, it's downright elegant, a cursive only seen in people who went to expensive, fancy schools or had special tutoring. no signature, except the "S" in spiced tea is stylized specifically to be a snake, larger than the rest of the writing, and eye-catching.]
Spiced tea, but with a little kick! (Don't drink too much in one go, please.)
As a small token of friendship, may it keep you warm even for just a moment in this snowy weather.
[inside the jar itself is a light brown liquid, still with a bit of the ingredients used to make it-- a thin slice of lemon, zest from an orange, so on and so forth. as for the kick? it's rum.]
eyes emojis guess who's finally out of the app queue baby
( marc sends two messages. the first is a singular word (name) sent from a username consisting solely of two letter: mk, whilst the name shows as only 'mr. knight'. he doesn't recall if he'd introduced himself, but he doesn't think it entirely matters. whilst mr. knight probably won't mean anything to set, the name he leaves at bottom of his second message will likely help put two and two together.
while not the wisest of the gods, set was also not the dumbest -- some might think so, but he was known for his strength of arm and strength of mind among the ennead. it took him some time to puzzle out to whom the epithet might belong to, but upon getting it, his response is swift: ]
( it's not easy for marc to admit to struggling. he's grown better, with sterman: he can recognise when he needs more support, when he has doubts about himself and his lucidity.
when reese had come to him with a crescent dart pulled from the back of her friend, marc could not say with absolute certainty that it was not him. it had not been difficult for him then to call dr. sterman and ask for an appointment: people were in danger. people he was entrusted to protect.
but now? here? it's different.
it's not the first time he's been met with silence. as a boy, as a young man, he'd found nothing but silence when calling upon the god his father had worshipped without any semblance of doubt. khonshu has been silent before, but marc thinks that it had never been like this.
it's different.
(is it?) )
you're alone. ( of the ennead. he doesn't mean it maliciously, more factually. )do you have any connection with the rest?
[ 'Adrift' might be the word he would use for it, if he had not always been a strange god. A solitary, ever-transient god that had roamed far and beyond the borders of Kemet, consorting with foreign gods and their foreign peoples with a deep, innate curiosity for things that set him apart from even his immediate generation. It was easier, then, for him to adapt to the void within Stygia, the absence of the Ennead. It was not as easy, though, to adapt to the loss of divinity. ]
I had not found anyone with ties to the Ennead before you.
One of the leaders within the Hierarchy goes by the name of Amun, however.
[ talking to that guy is on his List πͺπͺπͺ ]
So any silence is as likely related to circumstance as it is choice.
( it's a question even if he doesn't ask β confirmation, more than anything else. the unasked question, the one he doesn't couch even in vagueness or glibness, is how much vengeance should be enacted in light of the circumstances.
marc's relationship with khonshu has ever been perpetually fraught, and he's never claimed to understand the whys of khonshu's decisions or choices, but perspective has never proven itself to be without worth. )
Such perils always come with gods of the people. Even hermits like Khonshu.
[ The one he knows of is a mysterious companion of Thoth. Elusive and fickle as the phases of the moon -- they don't talk much, as things oft are with the highly independent gods of Egypt. They have never needed to rely on one another, really. He's understanding that the origins of himself and Khonshu's chosen one are very dissimilar, save for names and domains. ]
I don't know. You'll have to make due with me, if you're desperate.
( it's not as simple as that: marc's interest in egypt and its gods is a result of circumstance, of khonshu choosing him rather than him choosing khonshu. he's not unaware of the irony: the god he'd been brought up to worship, to pray to, to believe in, had brought his people out of egypt, whilst the god he now worships — by a definition of the word — keeps him there, if not in body then in mind.
once upon a time, setting one god aside for another had been a simple, easy decision. he'd swapped an indifferent god for one present. there. one that promised marc both life and a lifestyle to which he'd grown accustomed.
one might assume that it would be simple again, but—.
it's not. not this time. )
I know.
( he doesn't clarify which part of set's response he's replying to, precisely. )
Are you?( that desperate, he means. marc is an challenging individual, and he knows that. )
Animal hides and furs are best. Sometimes even feathers can work. And it's important to change your clothes if they get wet, and wax them where necessary.
[ still, it's not all misery. snow can be fun, even. ]
But if you're careful, it's worth exploring outside a bit.
Haa... I don't believe I am willing to make the leap to wearing animal hide, Dimitri. I have seen the native beasts of Stygia, and they do not seem wise to adorn my body with.
[ hunting beasts is one thing, but he tended to leave his slain kills to the people for their use ]
Oh! Show me what you are wearing, and I will go to the market to find something similar!
Interesting. In that case, perhaps you can find something made of wool.
[ He isn't from a time or place where wearing fur is optional, but he supposes he wouldn't go around wearing the skin of something like a harpy. But he'd use the feathers? In any case, clothes as an adornment and not a luxury must be a godly thing.
Anyway, he could just send a picture, but he has the soul of a 60 year old medieval man. ]
It might be easier to show you in person. Would you like for me to accompany you?
I would yield to your expertise on the matter, if you would find the time. I fear if I ask a salesperson, I will be bamboozled out of my coin -- I've never had to shop for myself before.
[ listen dimitri, you're talking to a an unfathomably old god who didn't NEED any of this, he's such a weenie ]
I understand. In life, I'd only recently started frequently marketplaces for myself. [ and he had to sneak out to do it... so this is the almost blind leading the blind but it's fine. ] I will meet with you shortly.
[ which he will!! he'll meet with set wherever he's off to, give me a rundown of what shabby winter gear set is wearing. ]
οΌ she's gripped by myriad emotions at that, each more fleeting than the last. pertinent information... surely he can't mean about naruto? it's too fantastic to consider, and it certainly isn't rational, but nevertheless the hope persists. οΌ
