Open to all!

🧙 WHO: Set and all
⚔️️ WHAT: Magic learning, selling finger nails, drinking
🕒 WHEN: Throughout April
🗺️ WHERE: All over
⚠️ WARNINGS: Drinking warning!



a. never meant for a green thumb

[Set's had an emotional time of it, having the same magic as Osiris. With healing and now being able to grow things, it feels like he's in some body that doesn't belong to him at all. None of it feels natural but nothing about any of this feels natural. But still, he's here to help his world and as king then he will do what is necessary.

With it being so rainy out then he can't practice his green magic as much but walking past a garden with an umbrella, he gets a feeling from the garden near by. He stops, frowning.]


What good will it do for you to complain about the sun being hidden? None of us can control the rain here apparently. [He looks crazy, talking to the garden.] Stop complaining.

[It may sound like he's talking to somebody else or maybe your character.]

b. it isn't nail polish

[As a god, Set's fingernails are pure gold. Even if, physically, he is no longer a god here, his nails still grow golden.

And apparently, the faeries like finger nails? They like weird things and he's been arguing with the faeries.]
Why would you want my finger nails? What good do they do for you...? [But one faerie is near his feet too, pointing.] My toe nails? No.

[But they will pay him, even if only a little bit, and he has very little money...he sighs. This is ridiculous. As your character passes by, Set calls out:] Get me something to cut nails with. [Sorry, he's not used to not being royalty and having to be polite.

But also it's raining a lot and he wants to get out of this bad weather. These faeries have been harassing him for a bit and even he's learned that it's a bad idea to kill them even if he's not opposed to the idea.]


c. this body ain't what it used to be.

[In ancient Egypt, beer was simply what you drank. Water couldn't always be trusted and so it was beer. Beer for kids, beer for adults, beer for everybody. Set prefers wine, being a god and all, but he can't get wine so easily. These other drinks? No idea. But he knows beer.

But he has always drunk alcohol being a god, not a human. He downs two glasses of beer and as he walks home, he immediately feels the difference. Being a human is different in many ways and as he tries to head home, he feels really dizzy as he leans on a wall.]


Why...? [He puts a hand to his head and takes a breath, trying to go again but tumbles and falls down.] Why do I feel like the world is spinning? [To whoever is going by him, he calls out:] Hey, what does it mean when you can't stand because you feel like you're twirling?

[It means he's drunk for the first time.]
