I do not know how to "rate" you considering that we have passed for twins.

SET KNOWS MEMES NOW, BEWARE

I think you are very lovely.

[ lbh set craves attention, but only the type of attention he asks for

#catbehavior #traumaresponse ]


"Pasty as fuck?" Actually, that is a good question — what does your divine form really look like?
fursuit: (① caquixtoctli.)

that's honestly super dangerous. take it away from him (both of them)

[personal profile] fursuit 2024-07-24 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
thank you. you too cuz ♥

[ He means it, despite the joking tone that's implied... ]

oh, yeah. made this body for convenience for daybit actually, but fucker didn't even appreciate it. but I look like... gimme a minute. haven't messed around with those settings. ]

[ It does take a few minutes, since he has to deal with the true bane of modern technology: terms, conditions, and required tutorial. But eventually, a window pops up for Set: LAUNCH DATAVERSE? ]

[ Set also has to navigate all those things, before he can accept.

He does though, with the same hubris and carelessness that has gotten his low WIS ass into trouble many times before.

yes and it's a long stor

[ But then he gets cut off by his trials and tribulations with this new software. Too bad!

At the very least, the easy agreement on both of their parts is innocuous this time around. In an experience that’s similar to sharing memories through Communion, the area fills out around Set. The blanket of humidity settles around his shoulders first, and from there, the rest of the scenery fills out. Standing at the top of a tall temple that’s similar in structure to the one Quetzalcoatl had manifested, the view looks out upon a vast city, but one whose architecture is similarly old. It’s large and busy, even at the dusk that’s been brought to the scene.

When Tezcatlipoca speaks from behind Set’s shoulder, it’s identical, but just a little more accented with the smooth poetics of his true tongue. ]


Yeah, I made a new human body because I had to, fucker. So, might as well make it something less alien to his fuckin’ scrambled brain, right?

[ But when Set turns and looks, the man that he sees is different in almost every way to the Tezcatlipoca he’s come to know. Truly, the only thing that remains the same is his expressions—the toothy, feline grin of a mischievous god marks them as absolutely the same person. ]

[ It's not like he doesn't know of the deep, damp jungles. Quetzalcoatl's temple had manifested and changed the landscape itself, heating previously-chilly terrain and bathing it in a boundless, gentle warmth as if the sun were constantly peering through dripping leaves. The distant sound of rainforest-dwelling birds and predators, the soft soils below his feet. Her towering, beautiful Piedra del Sol with the great calendar of the Azteca.

Tezcatlipoca's is just as beautiful, and he feels a brief pain at the idea that he will never have a monument like this again. Never experience the authority and responsibility a god manifests while looking at their civilization from the highest of seats; he looks up, and out. Gazing at the view of their civilization, and just for a moment — he renews his promise to visit there. Maybe to find the warring brothers, or at least one of them, if Quetzalcoatl is truly gone. At least he can bring the grief of those who loved her to her beloved people.

The voice behind him leads him to turn, spinning on his toes to see what it is that Tezcatlipoca looks like and — ]

Ah —

[ Ah. ]

You look, really good. Way better than when you and I can swap places.

[ He spits the words out before he can fucking embarrass himself any further with his stammering, even though the way his eyes dart all over Tezcatlipoca's face, the divine brilliance of his eyes and the amazing, amazing clothing and jewelry and paints that adorn him. ( He really, really has to visit. He will stomach traversing the vast sea if it means experiencing this divinity and his world, even just once. )

Even his eyes are FUCKING BLUE. Thank fuck they're not as blue as Horus's, though. Some muddled and distant and forgotten part of his memory might have a breakdown if that were the case. Still, he can see some resemblance in the two of them, maybe it's just the short hair. Maybe it's the fact that they radiate steady, stoic beauty. He's not viscerally attracted to Tezcatlipoca, but he can appreciate the truth of his person. ]


— bxstard, you look so cool. Like, you kind of resemble my nephew, but you've got a way, way better vibe.

[ His grin is expectant, since he simply imagines that Set’s reaction will be funny, and in that, he’s not disappointed. It’s a little bit of a surprise, since the reflexive, almost too-earnest honesty is just something he doesn’t necessarily expect of a fellow god, but he basks in it. After getting bullied with lower ratings than he feels like he should have, this feels like a reaction that’s more suited to a god of beauty.

…Though, secretly, he also does wonder if his human body wasn’t as attractive as he thought. He had tweaked a few things from the baseline he was working with to bring it up to his personal standard, but maybe he shouldn’t have bothered. He should have just sculpted a body identical to his divine one, apparently. ]


That so? Ha, then next time you see him, give him my regards. He’s got the blessings of beauty, at least from across the sea.

[ He gives Set a playful pat on the shoulder, and even that feels different when he’s conveying the experience of his fully divine self. This might only be a simulation, but it’s detailed in a similar way to how Communion was. So, the touch comes with the unique, powerful feeling of the divine energy that he passively emitted. There’s definitely no such thing when he’s in his very human body that Set has come to know. ]

But I agree that it’s a cooler look. Much more fitting of the title of Tlazopilli. Just tends to be a lot, especially with—

[ He taps on his right leg, which makes a solid sound that isn’t flesh. That’s not totally new, since it’s the same hypnotic obsidian that’s present when he wears his armor, but. If he’s wearing his armor, he doesn’t exactly care about making a casual impression. ]

Too obviously divine all together, which usually ain't the impression I like to go for.

Absolutely not.

[ He will NOT be telling Horus that he looks good in ANY capacity, because the idiot will get the wrong idea and be weird about it!! He's always weird about it! Give that kid an inch and he goes a whole disrespectful mile, with Set being the focus of his burdensome "feelings". ( It goes unsaid that those "feelings" make Set's stomach turn over, strained and warm at the same time. Uncertain, unsure of it all. )

What he sees before him is but a creation of software. A digital representation of Tezcatlipoca's most illustrious self, but it feels and smells and looks real enough because of the augmentations they've all undergone. It's why Set shivers at the contact, the unbridled sensory experience of another god — especially one as ancient and important as this one — and why he's oddly quick to slide his hands around Tezcatlipoca's jaw. There's no sunny warmth to him, but the presence of digitized divinity is like a drug to him, demoted as he is. It makes him want to curl up like a cat in the cool shade, stretching out in a place where he can be quiet and hidden.

Daybit can appreciate the blonde beauty all he wants, Set's always been one to prefer gods. ( With the exception of his wet pets. ) ]


— besides, even if I complimented him with your words, he'd just mope around because they're not coming from me. He's a weird kid, that Horus.

[ If anything, he'd tell his beautiful son, Anubis, that he was pretty. <3 ]

So, in a way. You manifesting in that other form is not only so that the mortals' fragile minds can comprehend you without shattering — but, it is also a part of a part of a part of your whole consciousness?

[ He knows Set to be a physical person, but how quick he is so touch him is still a surprise. His eyebrows lift in surprise, but it becomes an easy laugh. He might not know where the impulse comes from, but he accepts it. It’s not like he can criticize another god for touching him, since it’s not exactly blasphemous. ]

Sounds like it. Would say then I’ll tell him myself, but dunno how possible that is. We might not experience time like mortals, but still can’t exactly go back in time. And dunno where your pantheon ended up in how things shook out at my present.

[ Some of them he knew about, since some of them had even reared their heads in the Lostbelts at the desperate opportunity to reestablish themselves, at least with how he saw it. A divine queen of a frozen north, the Greek ships trying to raise their civilization again, and even a mortal ascending, as he sniffed out himself in India. The Egyptians had been pretty absent from all of it. BOO TO FGO

He places a hand over Set’s, letting him take in the pressure of that divinity, but it’s more like cupping it in his hands. There’s an intensity to it that’s answer enough to Set’s question, but it also speaks to Tezcatlipoca’s legacy as a primordial god. Even before humanity was there to truly empower them, he existed, and that’s a powerful, weighty thing. But after a squeeze, he steps back, but only so that he can step closer to the edge of the temple and look down on the city below. ]


Yep. It’s not only their minds, even. Their bodies don’t react well to the pressure of divinity either. Makes ‘em sick, to oversimplify it.

[ …Though. As he thinks about explaining further, he rubs his hand through his hair with an irritated noise, since he can predict the teasing to follow. He’ll still explain, even so. ]

—The body you know, I’d made it resemble Daybit’s dad. Thought he’d find it comforting. Jokes on me, though, since even if I could grab that, didn’t know he didn’t remember that either. [ he made himself white and FOR WHAT!!! ] Whatever. Probably better off, since with how it’s worked out, that would probably be weird.
