The Gods of Suburbia {RP}

"Yeah... somehow, I can't see either Isis or Horus telling the whole truth, especially if the truth made them look bad."

[spirit_queen]

"Exactly. Thus, Set faded from being an emotionally challenged nice guy to a heartless evil freak," Neph said. "He does have problems, but he's not evil, as such.... just gets a bit out of control. I once jokingly told him he had male PMS, but, yet, I've never even met a woman with it that bad... he's just got these mood-swings, and he can't control them all the time."

"Plus there's all that bad blood between him and his family; must be a strain to live with."

[spirit_queen]

"My family, too... and, yeah, it's hell," Neph said. "Set's a handful, but I sided with him most of the time because they were just plain mean to him, casting him as a freak because his hair was red, his eyes blue, and his mood swings. Th only time I helped Isis was when I helped her recover Osiris, because I thought he at least deserved a burial."

[Miranda_]

"Yeah, I keep forgetting that your family's a close one, in more ways than one," Remy said with a snicker. "That's something that you can't really tell people nowadays."

[spirit_queen]

Nephthys blushed, though it hardly showed on her golden skin. "But- but it doesn't mean the same thing to us.... I mean, we were among the first humanoids ever in that region of the world..." She'd been about to add that she and Set had never consummated their marriage, but then remembered she was currently bearing his child and her face heated all the more.

[Miranda_]

"Yeah, I know; I was just teasing you. It's different for deities."

[spirit_queen]

"Yeah... very. But I'm glad I divorced Set, and for many reasons," Neph said.

[Miranda_]

"Should have done it even earlier, really."

[spirit_queen]

"I just kept wishing for something that was never gonna happen; pathetic, really, and all the while I wasted away with waiting," Neph said. "But this dating thing suits me; not so binding as marriage. Who needs marriage, anyways? It's better like this. I'm sure you understand; heard marriage didn't work so well for you, either."
