MUMMY FAMILY + LIBRARIANS + LEVERAGE FAM:

I was offered a position as lead on a site in Nepal. Pompeii has been mostly clean-up for the last few weeks and I'm... tempted? They specified that they need someone of my "considerable talents" (their words! Though, obviously, I agree), which likely means it's to be dangerous or they're scared of something.

I don't speak very good Nepali, however, so we'd need a translator. Nepal is one of the few countries where polyandry is leg They've offered to put me and my "team" up in a very nice little farm house, likely due to the dangerous aspect.

As usual, I welcome all pros and cons, arguments or praises of my abilities.

Italy is as beautiful as I expected. Mind you, I haven't seen much except for the airport and ruins, but the ruins are gorgeous.


Just how active IS Mt. Vesuvius? Because I predict we'll be here a while.

[ooc: For reference of why they're in Pompeii!]

Well. It's becoming clear the newest intern isn't going to work out. While he's quite proficient in written translations, he is ... not so good at verbal.


As I've just learned. While we were going over texts.


And I'm fairly certain that he just happened to raise the dead. And by fairly certain, he absolutely did just raise the dead.


It's not my fault!

:D

Eid Mubarak!

Samah, we're looking forward to seeing you.

[ FILTERED TO EVELYN & RICK ]
Evelyn, I love you and I apologise for my grumpy behavior yesterday. Ramadan puts an emphasis on charity and I should have been much more charitable yesterday.

We can keep her.

[ FILTERED TO SAMAH ]
Ramadan Mubarak, Samah. Will we be seeing you for Eid ul-Fitr? Will you bring Liam so we may meet him officially?

Nothing quite like being trapped in a tomb with skeletons that were previously known to be cannibals on a Sunday afternoon.

The good news is that there doesn't seem to be any books around for me to read, and the cell service is still fair. The bad news being that the trap in front of the door is quite armed and dangerous.

LIBRARIAN!ELIOT. Are you alive? Are the Mummy folks taking care of you? Have you gotten into any cursed tombs lately? I miss you. WRITE ME.

I'm pretty sure two teenage girls almost shanked me for my discount candy just now. Good thing I didn't tell them I don't even have much of a sweet tooth and just can't turn down a good deal.

If anyone's short on candy, let me know. You can take anything but the toblerone.

Out-of-date technology and parents that are practically my age. I think I'd rather deal with reanimated mummies.



That's a joke, portal. Don't get any more bright ideas.

At least I get to put off hearing about how this one is my fault.

What does the state of Ohio have to offer, outside of Mummies? That said, for the next few weeks I'll be guest-speaking and working with the anthropologists and doctors on the team. I'm especially looking forward to seeing the mummy of The Baron von Holz. I've heard stories about him being haunted since my childhood.

Might want to stock up on guns, boys.

Discovered the remains of Alexander the Great's father, no mummies came to life and no one died. I'd call that a successful tomb recovery.

Now, have I earned a vacation? There are deliciously frozen fruity drinks and giant whirlpools calling my name.

O'Connell. Evy.

How do you feel about looking into the Amphipolis Tomb? They have requested our expertise.

I knew I shouldn't have pushed my luck about there being no mummies here.

Apparently, word travels fast, as I've already received three job offers. Well, four if you count the frazzled librarian who was forced to help me yesterday, but I don't believe she was in the position to offer me the job so I put that to the side.

Gentleman, that leaves us with the most difficult option of picking between London, Cairo and Washington.

She read another book, didn't she?
