Rest Week - Day 6
Hey. There's something about me people ought to know about. I've already told a few people already and... yeah. So, some of you have met me, Marc, and others have met Steven. But they're both me. This isn't some stupid game, and I'm not faking it, but... I have a mental health issue. Psychiatrists call it Disassociate Identity Disorder. I really do have two personalities, it's not pretend.

I wasn't up front about it before since it's not the sort of thing you lead an introduction with, hello I'm clinically insane. I've had it for most of my life and I've... managed to hide what's wrong with me because I don't have ~~any~~ many friends back home. I'm a loner. But here, it's harder to blend in with the crowd and keep to yourself.

Things are further complicated because, like Layla who wrote about herself a couple of days ago, I'm an avatar for an Egyptian god. Khonshu. God of the moon, the night sky, and vengeance. I wasn't supposed to be anymore, but Steven and I had a talk with him last night and... I guess we're still stuck. Being an avatar means that I'm supposed to follow what he wants me to do, and in return he gives me special abilities. We're still negotiating that, since these are unusual circumstances. Besides, Khonshu's strength is derived from the moon and only works at night, and since the void really doesn't have either of those, he's pretty useless. At least during those void weeks. When we were in L.A. and in zombie world, he told me he had his usual power.

It's harder to tell us apart over the network, but we've been trying to let people know who's been writing when we've been posting comments. But Steven Grant has a British accent and uses British slang. I'm American.

And that's about it. If anybody has questions, Steven and I will try to answer.

You had to be ready, I get that, and it says a lot that you were able to get to this point. It is nice that you were able to find a few people that you could trust. I've been there, trusting others doesn't come easily to me.

Yeah, it was, and that's right. Well, at least that's what I have a degree in, I guess a lot of what I've done lately isn't typical of your average archeologist. My Dad had a fondness for what we believe to be myths and legends, and unfortunately, more nefarious groups have that same idea only anything they get their hands on is bad news for the rest of us. So I do what I can to stop them and preserve whatever secrets I discover along the way.

	Then you understand. You're very kind. You sound a hell of a lot like Layla. You two ought to get along really well. Do you have personal experience with gods and goddesses, too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If there are other people out there that know about being a loner, I'm definitely one of them. I'm trying to do better here. We've spoken! We've been talking about working together to find out more about this place. Magical artifacts, yes, but I haven't met any gods or goddesses. Honestly, if I was still back home, I wouldn't be surprised if that changed. (Reply to this) (Parent)
