Shock and Awe [during Thor's travels in Egypt] (tag: Taweret)

[info]hlorridi
Note: Some time after this thread





Thor wasn't sure he liked this place as well as the last one. The first place Ninkasi had taken him had been quite cold, up in the mountains, so high that it was hard to breathe. They were fun people who told stories about abominable monsters in the snow and loved to laugh. Then they'd gone down the mountains and east into a land that was lush and hot. The humidity had been ridiculous, but the people generous and the food fantastic even if it was spicy. Maybe that's why their gods had extra arms, to fan their mouths while eating it. Though he still couldn't figure out why some of them were blue. From there, they'd gone west again, back through the mountains and into a land of silk and beauty. Even they way they wrote and moved was an art form. They had some very definite rules about fighting and honor, but they took both seriously and Thor appreciated that. Though he hadn't much appreciated eating with sticks, that was just weird. This place though? )

Not Exactly Love At First Sight [ancient, ancient Egypt] (tag: Tawereth

The calls were still few and far between. He'd not been around long enough for many people to know him, much less ask for his aid, so when a call came, Bes considered it an honor.

He had many duties, most of which were just plain fun. When it came to demons, on the other hand, Bes took that very, very seriously. Even more so when a child was threatened. The scariest of all were those that threatened an infant that was about to be born. There was no one more defenseless or more susceptible than that.

When the screams came, Bes wasted no time. )

Sisterly Advice [shortly after marriage to Thoth] (tag: Tawaret)

[info]book_mistress
Seshat was, by nature, a learner. Though some might think that given her proclivities she'd be a know-it-all, Seshat recognized that she did not in fact know it all. But she wanted to. She had a constant hunger to discover new information that she didn't have before. So she never hesitated in tracking down ways to feed that hunger, particularly when she found a topic that was completely unfamiliar.

Except this time. )
