Word 06 - Open to Action - November 1st, late morning

[Sadie's been busy this last week or so. There were, apparently, Things Isis had finally chosen to tell her, which had meant she, Carter, Amos, and the others had to do some emergency scrying chats to figure out just what it meant and then Sadie had to get Carter's permission to tell the camp.

So, after breakfast, Sadie starts a camp-wide IM. She looks somewhat formal,, dressed nicely in her magician's gear (which more or less look like pjs, though Sadie's look a little less pj-like because it's Sadie) with all the charms and necklaces and she's taken to wearing. Her stripe is still black from last night.]


Hullo. For those who don't know me, I'm Sadie Kane, a magician. My brother is Carter Kane, aka the Pharaoh and [airquotes] "king" of the lot of us. There's only two of us magicians here right now, but there might be more. That's not the point, though. A while back, Carter and Percy ran into something called a petsuchos. That's a giant crocodile demigod, more or less, son of Sobek, nasty little thing that nobody wants running around. Turns out it was just a regular crocodile that had been given an amulet, but the problem was that one, no one knew how the crocodile got the amulet and two, Egyptians and Greeks? Not supposed to mix. We're not even allowed to spend too much time in Manhattan. The reason for that is basically Order, capital "O". Order is good and what magicians who haven't gone crazy fight for. Mixing all these godlings? That'd normally cause Chaos. Chaos is very, very bad if it starts to outweigh Order. The world needs both, but we spent a year fighting off the embodiment of it so. You know. We like to keep things Orderly.

However, with Gaia waking up and the...Rag-na-rok? [She waves a hand] Whatever it is that caused the Norse gods to get sent to the bodies of teenagers. Because of those two things, there has been a huge wave of Chaos across the globe and nomes--that's our version of camps, three hundred and sixty of them including one in Antarctica--nomes everywhere are collapsing and magicians are either being sent here or to Heliopolis for protection. I came here with no clue as to what I was supposed to here. Isis only recently decided that, oh right, Sadie and Carter should probably know this sort of thing.

[Eyeroll]

The reason we're being sent here now is to keep an eye out for demons and whatnot that may break out of the Duat because of this Chaos, track down any rogue magicians who still hate us for, you know, saving the world, and to help restore Order. Carter's given me permission to answer questions as best I can, though no promises I'll be able to. Things are generally kept rather hush-hush. Thanks for listening.

[And cut. She's outside the Big House if people want to talk to her in person]

Same thing when it comes down to it. So, what does it mean to be Pharaoh? Other than being king.
againstallodds: (huh who knew)

[personal profile] againstallodds 2013-11-06 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Definitely. I'd like to be able to dodge a few more bullets myself and not just have to take them head-on. [Whatever he means by that, he doesn't say, but does hold out his hand for her to shake.] Thanks for fixing that.
againstallodds: (happy percy)

[personal profile] againstallodds 2013-11-06 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
So's that mean it's his job to fix yours? [Fair's fair and all that.]
againstallodds: (peace out)

[personal profile] againstallodds 2013-11-07 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
So that is his job then. Got it. [Also gotta love reading between the lines XD]

So whatever happened to that baby croc that was wearing that stupid necklace? He said he'd take care of it and then disappeared after we had a burger.
againstallodds: (waiting)

[personal profile] againstallodds 2013-11-08 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
She? I thought Carter said it was the Son of Sobek!

[Sadie you are burning his mind!]
againstallodds: (are you shitting me)

[personal profile] againstallodds 2013-11-08 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Taco the Crocodile. [All Percy can do is shake his head at that, seriously.] Guess that's no weirder than Guido the pegasus.
againstallodds: (oh okay then)

[personal profile] againstallodds 2013-11-09 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
You guys have gryphons too? That's one of the few I've never seen, but I know they're around somewhere.
deathdiduspart: (Question mark?)

[personal profile] deathdiduspart 2013-11-09 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
The House?
deathdiduspart: (Trying not to be too excited)

[personal profile] deathdiduspart 2013-11-09 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
And the Nomes are the locations for the House of Life?

I've never seen anything like that, but I will keep a look out. Other than the incident with the crocodile, have you experienced any other problems specifically?

I'm afraid that since I know very little about your culture, I may have a lot of questions for you. Would that be okay? I'm afraid to say that the only other magician I've had the pleasure to meet didn't seem eager to answer any questions.

againstallodds: (okay this seems cool)

There's gotta be more than one kind then, I think the Greek version has full-sized wings.
