[how about a nice video post, asgard? have mr. egyptian here leaning back comfortably in a chair in his room, looking out the window in amusement as he runs a hand through his hair]

Such complaining about a little water, Asgard! It is about time for Akhet, where I come from -- the beginning of the year, and the annual flooding of the Nile River. If only those who had built these halls thought to accommodate for the possibility of a flood.

Ah, but perhaps one of the gods has experienced a loss recently. It is said the Nile floods because of the tears Isis sheds for her dead husband, Osiris.

Haaaaah-? You think that's what caused it? A god's tears?

[those

crap

sorry orihime :ALKSHAKSJ BUT HE LIKES EM CURVY OK]

It's a theory. Has anyone spoken to them since this began?

[holyfight]

[they're floatation devices! :|b]

I don't think so! I haven't seen any messages from them on the network, anyway!

[ramses]

Perhaps they have been suffering for some reason, then. [or maybe one of them is dead ... :|a but he won't say that out loud, don't want to disturb the lady]

[holyfight]

Maybe...

Maybe it's hayfever!

[it's the right time of year for that! SEEMS LEGIT]

[ramses]

[ ... lmao, he can't help but laugh at that]

Hay fever? Do you think the gods suffer from such ailments?

video.

[auditor]

[ LMAO. GOD, YOU ARE SO PRETTY, BUT SHE IS SO TIRED OF HEARING THIS. ]

And that is what is wrong with a little water. The city's foundation was not made for it.

video foreverrr <3

[ramses]

[LMAO, and he's just looking amused]

Are you worried the city will fall, Miss Claudia?

[auditor]

[ rolls dem eyes. ]

No, I am worried about how much money I will be spending for repairs.

[ramses]

Repairs? [now he's looking a little genuinely surprised. repairs to what, her outfits ... ?]

[auditor]

[ as if. her dresses are in perfect condition!!! ...except the one she used to bandage her brother's gunshot wound. for some reason, she hasn't thrown it away yet. ]

Sí, repairs. I imagine several buildings will be dealing with structural cracks. I doubt this has been enough to cause collapse, but who knows how much these buildings can take until the flood recedes.

[ duh? why are you so dumb, ramses. ]

[ramses]

--Ah, you mean the building in Freya, then, not the House itself. That reminds me, I meant to ask if you were still in need of assistance. [we'll just say he saw it late because he was busy, and not because i fail as;dlkjasd ;;]

[suppressthedark]

So you're from egypt?

[...That's where the nile's at, right? Right? At least, he's pretty sure it's there...]

[video]

[ramses]

Yes, I am. You have heard of it, then?

[well, considering his attire -- the intricate and fancy jewelry, the lack of shirt, the simple loin cloth -- even if the Nile wasn't familiar to him, he's almost the stereotypical picture of the Egyptian elite]

[video]

[suppressthedark]

Yeah. I haven't ever been there, but I know where it is.

[This is also true. Which makes ichigo wonder if he's from a different time period as well...]

The water isn't really bothering me, either.

[Mostly because he's been using the rooftops, ahahaah.]

[video]

[ramses]

That seems to be the response of most who know of it. Where are you from, then?

It is slightly inconvenient, but nothing difficult to handle.

[video]

[suppressthedark]

I'm from Japan.

[He nods.]

Yeah. I've mostly been using the rooftops to get around.

[WHAT IT'S DRIER]

[duchessofdevonshire]

It's just a little difficult to navigate, for some of us at least. I cannot say I have any clothes for it... [Skirts and stockings and all.]

I suppose that makes sense, but that seems very selfish. [She ponders on the whole Gods crying.]

ASSUMING THIS IS VIDEO ... alkdja

[ramses]

[oh. hi pretty lady 8)]

Is there no man who would carry you to where you need to go?

Selfish? What makes you say that?

fdjsfsd yes! FF. SORRY. also sorry for the tl;dr, sob.

[duchessofdevonshire]

[Hai thar, pretty divine king. Excuse her while she stares a little~]

Oh, I couldn't ask someone to do that. No doubt many people are busy seeing to damage. Besides I hardly even know where to go just yet, new as I am.

[She bites her lip, a great deal of men hated when a woman gave her opinion on just about anything.] Well.. they want us to prosper don't they? Seems a sentiment similar like that of parents to children. But... [Sigh.] How are we to prosper like this? Like you said in your homeland. The Nile floods, but when it floods too much, does it not also cause destruction? What prosperity is there in that? And if it is grief, why would you make your child suffer for your pains, surely you would... want what you still have to be good? Or rather, appreciate what you do have? I'd never do such to my own children, make them suffer, even in my deepest grief, for what others have done to me?

never apologize for tl;dr <333

[ramses]

New, are you? I would not mind showing you around, though many places seem to be closed because of this recent development.

[and actually, he's quite impressed. while he'll sleep with any woman beautiful enough, what he really seeks is a woman fit to be a queen -- a woman who can think, who can calculate. a woman who is smart. so really, the opinion surprises him -- but it certainly doesn't irk him. in fact, it makes him more interested, and it shows when he leans forward with a grin]

A keen observation! With the prosperity the Nile brings, it does sometimes bring destruction as well. But can you have one without the other? The destruction helps us learn, helps us become stronger.

As far as the gods go, however ... it remains to be seen how much compassion they hold for us, despite needing our help. Rather odd of them, isn't it?

\o/ oh good. She thinks too much, sob.

[duchessofdevonshire]

Yes, just a few days ago. I'm a little lost to say the least. [She laughs quietly.] Perhaps we can after the water go? Give something to look forward to at least. [She refused to be miserable about anything so trivial for too long.

She's so taken back when he actually shows an interest in what she said. It was seldom that ever happened. Charles had only ever been the one to do that, and Fox. But a lot of them just humoured her because of her rank. So for just a second, Georgiana's flustered before she finds her words. Compliments she can deal with, actual intellectual interest is foreign..]

There is that. It is truth that we need such things to grow, but... though certainly not in this, to what extent do you think that goes? I make my daughters do things they do not want to often, and my how they complain. It reminds me of this greatly. [And she smiles when she thinks of her girls, all of them, and it's not quite so fake.]

I guess so. I just hope they are not vengeful like stories say they are, should we not prosper enough, so to speak. Seems common for Gods to just wipe human beings clean when they dislike them.

[ramses]

[... he really doesn't like this keyboard thing still, because it's so weird and different from writing ... so he's just. going to answer in video. LMAO]

The loss of a loved one creates quite a bit of sorrow.

[psych0p0mps]
