The Gods of Suburbia {RP}

"Well, all Isis did was talk about how the wedding night was fun, as she already knew somehow that I had a crush on you." Neph said. "And we don't need to really; our laws will allow me to divorce you simply because you've cheated so many times. If Isis doesn't like that, well, tough; she gets her way too often. I'm not sacrificing myself for her idea of a perfect world anymore."

Ooc: That's completely true, I read it in some kind of book on Ancient Egypt once, which I remember being very credible but I don't remember the title or any such thing; in Egyptian society, divorces were possible, but only for a "valid" reason, such as a spouse falling in love with someone else or considering cheating. Cheating in A. Egyptian society was ill advised because of the terrible punishments, but they were very open-minded about dating, and women could feel free to pick and choose boyfs.

"I'm sorry about the cheating. I just couldn't see any way out, and it was easier to go out and find someone I wanted to be with."

[spirit_queen]

"I can forgive you. But, now that we're somewhere else, and that we're getting divorced, please take the time to find someone who respects you instead of treating you like a cheap wh*re, okay?" Neph said.

Bastet was roaming the house in her feline form; it was a small Egyptian cat with gray fur where the black should have been. She was staying away from the living room, and to be frank would have preferred the back of that couch; it looked very soft. Ah, well, Hathor wouldn't mind if she stayed in cat form.

That gave her pause. Did Hathor have sneezing fits around cats like humans sometimes did?

Thoth had already bunked down upstairs with several dusty old books he'd found lying in a closet. He was halfway through the first one already. O_o A lot of the words, however, didn't make sense. "I need a dictionary," he mumbled. ".. Wait, what's a dictionary..."

[spirit_queen]

Osiris, who was roaming the halls, almost walked right into her, then jumped when he noticed her there. "Oh! I'm sorry, Bastet, I didn't see you there."

[Silent_Wolf]

Bastet looked up at him crossly. She was disturbed to find out she couldn't talk in her feline form like she could back in Egypt, so she changed back. "It's fine. I figure looking around as something smaller would give a better perspective. I was wrong." She sneezed a bit and rubbed her eyes with the back of her arm. "We'll have to start cleaning as soon as possible tomorrow."

[spirit_queen]

"Isis already started." Osiris said with a snort. "She's been dusting and such in our room since she picked it out." He paused. "What we really need to do is sort out food an water; you can live in a dusty house, but you can't live in one without a reliable food and water source."

[Silent_Wolf]

"Thoth might be able to figure out water sources. I noticed that the metal bowl things in the kitchen are leaking water. I don't know if it's any good to drink though. If it's not from the Nile, I don't really want any part of it." She sighed.

[spirit_queen]

"I we're pratty far away from the Nile." Osiris said. "I can no longer feel it's ebb and flow the way I used to." He sighed as well. "And we shoulnd't leave everything up to Thoth, especially since he's just buried himslef in a new book; it'd be real hard to get him out of it."

[Silent_Wolf]

"There were only three. He'll be done by-"

"Ahh, nothing like a good book to clear your head!" Thoth came downstairs. "Osiris, could you help me fix the sink in the kitchen? I think I know how to fix it."

".. How-"

"There was a dictionary." He nodded. "It helps. You guys should read one."

Ooc: Can you imagine Isis reading a dictionary?
