The Gods of Suburbia {RP}

[Miranda_]

"Wow, that's amazing," Amber breathed. "It's like being in a real life myth."

[Silent_Wolf]

"Feels more like a soap opera to tell you the truth."

[Miranda_]

"How so? Aren't the gods meant to be dignified and wise?"

[Silent_Wolf]

The expression on his face said it all: a mixture of amusement and a bad poker face.

[Miranda_]

Not surprising; the description didn't fit many of the deities.

"What are they like instead, then?" Amber asked, curiously.

[Silent_Wolf]

"Well, you've met my aunt Kali, and her best friend Neph," he said. "They're very motherly figures for being death goddesses." He told her about the other gods in the town; about Thoth and Athena, about Horus and Aphrodite. He explained the cult, as much as he didn't want to - but if he didn't, it probably wouldn't be explained why they'd even come around in the first place. "... and Laila is Set and Neph's daughter."

[Miranda_]

"Wow," Amber said, again. "I guess they came after me cuz there aren't really many virgin runaways. Anyway, it doesn't matter now; I just know you'll find a way to save me. I'll be holding on til you do."

[Silent_Wolf]

"Good." He was quiet a minute. "... Not to quote that really, really dumb movie, but since you'll get Apep's powers and immortality and all that and um." He swallowed. "I'd love to show you around the world one day."

[Miranda_]

"I'd like that very much," Amber said. "I'll be thinking of that day to help me thru waiting."

[Silent_Wolf]

"Me too." He smiled. "I'll be checking on you again soon. I... I really like you, Amber. I hope I can fix this and if you have any questions, tell me."
