You're CONFUSING, is what I mean. Neither you or Shanks makes it easy to get close, whether on purpose or accident I can't decide.
[A pause.] You like me? Really?
[Another pause, but this time to bury his face in his hands and sigh, long and heavy enough that Lincoln the duck gets concerned.] Do NOT do that. He likes you because you're YOU. That's the one thing you've got going for you.

How do you mean? I know I am difficult, but Shanks is quite easy to be close with. He's not hard to understand.
[ Says Set, who is notoriously BAD at reading and understanding EVERYONE. Maybe that's why he likes people with strong convictions: they're easier to figure out for him, because he can count on them adhering to what they believe in, instead of being sneaky little jerks ( like Osiris ). ]
Of course I like you, Koby. Your will is strong and you are very clever. I have always enjoyed people like that. It does not mean I will be merciful toward you if we fight. It just means I like who you are.
[ ok tho............. he still thinks it'd be a fun gift??? ]
Hm. Well, that works for me. I hated the nose.

[Huffing, flopping back on his bed, Lincoln crawling to rest on his chest.]
Have you ever considered that maybe he's easy to understand to YOU because of your connection? And that this is part of why he likes you?
Because I assure you, he's very mysterious to most others.
Oh. Thank you.
I like you too. [Matter of fact, just that simple -- accompanied by a photo of Lincoln sitting on him.]
Maybe if you talk about it ahead of time. Not as a surprise.
I think he liked the nose, unfortunately.

[ Sadly, Set has no pictures of his terrible badger being cuddly and sweet. Instead, he sends Koby a recent image of said badger hunkered in a shadowy corner of his room, teeth bared and eyes shining like the devil in the camera's flash. The text across the image reads: Cursing me again. <3 So cuuuuuuuute ]
What was your relationship like with him? In the place you came from.
Mystery or not, you're quite endeared to one another — that isn't a trifling bond.

[That is objectively a terrifying beast -- but Lincoln makes soft "wak" sounds and pokes at the phone with her beak, and her opinion counts for a lot.]
Would he try to eat Lincoln, do you think? Or could they be friends.
[There's a weighty pause.] Do you mean our real world? Or the village in between?

Bloody Mary, I petition you!
In this realm, there is no satisfaction to be found in death, for the usurpation of our natural order is among the documented and strange phenomena.
If you must torment souls, allow Set, god of war, to teach you how to do so in a way that will invigorate you — and pass by this soul who you have made into the avatar of your power.

[ Lots to unpack here, but first: ]
You Are The God Of War??
You Are The God Of War??
I Love War! I Am A Mighty And Ancient Warrior. In The Ottoman Empire, I Slaughtered And Pillaged Many Thousands In Your Name! And Now We Are Texting!
[ I love war gets him right in the fluttering feelings, thanks... ]
A warrior... in my name? It is refreshing to meet you, then. Text, I mean!
Wait. Is this why Bloody Mary has possessed you?! How dare she try to steal what is mine! I will destroy her.

Yes Though Usually You Were In The Form Of A Great White Bull With Golden Horns Or A Camel In Heat So It Is Very Impressive That You Have Learned How To Use A Keyboard.
As For Bloody Mary.... I May Have A Secret I Can Share That Will Free Us Both....

[ It was a very sexy camel. ]
Oh Mighty Deity, I Have Discovered That Bloody Mary Is Among Us In Clever Disguise. We Can Kill Her And End Our Curse!

[ Flattery works both ways. 😳 ]
My Suspicions Were Raised When I Attempted To Send Her A Curse And She Did Not Seem Worried. I Confronted Her With My Mighty [ Uh. ] Warrior Prowess And She Confessed All! She Is In The Guise Of A Mortal, Jem Walker! She Named Herself Scourge Of The Mirror Realm And Puppeteer Of Corpses. Very Spooky.

Jem Walker, Puppeteer of Corpses?!
Last she was confronted with animosity (or the dead), she threw up on the floor, so I am delighted to hear that she has evolved beyond such weakness and has pursued the path of dread scourge. However, to eliminate this curse before it spreads to the entire house and empowers her beyond her right as a mortal, she absolutely must be cut off.
[ ok ]

Yes, We Must Destroy Her Most Definitively. Would You Like The Honor Of Tearing Her Into Pieces, Oh King Of Fire And Bringer Of Destruction?
