I am stuck in my inn room by this white plague.
My own jewelry is so cold it burns my skin.
Attempted to build a fire, but the circle box on the ceiling began to screech deafeningly.

Someone give me a proper burial when this is over.

That must be quite odd then. You can't just up and change it either here.

If you have heard of mermaids and the like? I am merman. An eel specifically.

[hor]

I'd rather trade it for kinetic and have my flight back if I could! 😓🐤🌫

I think where I'm from, the 🐊 and 🦛 would eat anything like a mermaid, but I've heard of them here. I was warned they like to eat souls.

Like the falcon, they do not have an "emoji" for eels. Do you prefer snake or whatever creature this is? 🐋

[ look, it's an emoji, he doesn't know whales are giant, they just look kinda long and they're in the water animal section!! He's only been at oases and along the Nile, he hasn't made it to the sea yet...

...and yes he does use the baby chick emoji instead of a falcon since ppl keep teasing him and calling him a chick. It's funny!! ]

[mushroomaficionado]

I think I could defeat either of those creatures if I had to. And well, I cannot speak for the mermaids here, I will have you know, I do not eat souls. Or people.
And also, eating me will not make you immortal either.

[He's heard a lot of cracks in his time above land, okay? And as fun as it is to let people be a little nervous, sometimes it gets old too.]

That's a whale. But I don't think that is a bad choice. I would have suggested a dolphin, or shark, since those are what my brother liked to use to symbolize the two of us, but think the whale works too.

It's powerful.

[hor]

Confidence! Always good. I've no need for immortality and I'm sure I can find less talkative food, no fretting.

[ Not that he's immortal himself- gods can be killed, certainly, but he won't age unless something goes terribly wrong the way it did for Ra. But what's the point in fighting if you've nothing to lose, anyway. ]

I've only been on the river. I've made it as far as the start of the Nile's delta, but I have to stay in Heliopolis before I can travel. I take it those are all ocean creatures. What of 🌊🐍?

[mushroomaficionado]

Good. I might be a little toxic anyways, so it's best not to digest me.

[Well Moray Eels are actually considered decent eating, but let's not go into that. Either way, he fiddles with too many poisons to be trusted.]

That is interesting. Though there is a classmate my brother nicknamed Sea Snake, so that might be a little confusing. Though he might appreciate the joke if he ever comes here.

[Emojis are serious business though.]

[hor]

I'll do my best, but I don't know you well enough to know if I'll at least want a taste yet. 😜😝

[ Ancient Egypt is not... subtle, at times. He doesn't know Jade at all though, or even what he looks like, or if he's going to freeze to death but that isn't stopping him from laying a foundation for future flirting if he feels like it. Or not, who knows. ]

Hm.. ➰➿ And what of these? They could be close!

[mushroomaficionado]

Well thank you for being a gentleman. I appreciate it.

[Well the banter will be interesting with this one.]

I like that. It's interesting. And my tail can wrap around things.

[hor]

Of course!

Hmm. Do you wrap it around things often? I imagine that a useful talent.

[mushroomaficionado]

Usually if I need to make someone behave. My brother likes squeezing people more though.

[hor]

Dangerous!
I should warn you I'm a troublemaker. 😜

[mushroomaficionado]

I'm surrounded by troublemakers all day, so I can take it.
I have excellent management skills.

[hor]

Ever managed a god before?

[mushroomaficionado]

No, but how difficult can it be?

And I like a challenge.

[hor]

No idea. I'm usually the unmanageable one. ✌

[mushroomaficionado]

Really now?

Now I'm curious.

[hor]

Other people seem to think so.
Are you familiar with Egypt? I am Horus.

[mushroomaficionado]

I am afraid not.

I take it that you're important then?

[Normally such things don't fluster him too much, but well he should figure out what the appropriate reaction is.]

[hor]

I'm the god of the sky and rightful future king, once I find a way to subdue my uncle.

[mushroomaficionado]

Your Uncle, huh?

Well, I hope you can succeed in your endeavor since I am guessing he took what is yours.

[hor]

I've been raised since birth to kill him, but I intend on battling him to draws until he likes me. 🧡

[ And thus back to his point, that despite being trained by the OG war god and being more than capable, he's doing whatever he wants. And he will do so until Set or Ra gives into what he wants, even if it takes a century. 80 years. It takes 80 years. ]

[mushroomaficionado]

Really now?

I would think you have a hard road ahead of you. Many people don't forgive that sort of thing.

[hor]

I think there are many stories being told by all parties involved and none of them are the truth of the matter, so perhaps once I find the truth it will clear the path I wish to take.

But you are right. I'm frustrating a lot of people~ 😜

[ And having fun doing it... ]
