This is one of the stranger message boards I've seen. I'm not quite sure what it's all about. All I know was I was getting the shit spammed out of me, and getting on here seems to have made it stop. I don't know who signed me up for this, but I hope they didn't sign me up for any others. I'd hate to have to change over emails because of too much spam, I've had my current email for a long time now.

It'll stop now that you're here.

Welcome, Anubis.

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

Huhwhut?

Why did you call me that? That's really weird you just called me that. Really. You have no idea.

Who are you?

[guardienne.insanejournal.com]

Katriel Richmond.

Also known as Bastet.

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

Katriel. That's pretty. Nice to meet you.

I'm Mason.

How did you know?

[guardienne.insanejournal.com]

Thank you.

Mason... I'm sorry to have to do this, but your timing... Well. Let me just say, we could really use your help right now.

Sit tight and brace yourself. There's a lot you need to learn and not much time in which to learn it.

My help? What with?

[Filter: Egyptians]

[guardienne.insanejournal.com]

Long story short.

Everyone here is a figure straight out of legend. That's how we knew. Most of the time, we're able to recognize our own. It's not just Egyptians, though. There are Greeks, Celts, Norse, Hindus... A little fewer than three dozen all together.

But there are also beings bigger than us. Way bigger. One of them goes by Gaia. And, about a week ago, she decided to take something from all of us to force us into starting to reclaim our seats of power.

One of the things she took was one of our number. Astarte. We need to find her and bring her back.

Welcome to the group. I see Bastet has already started the welcome mat rolling. I'm Cal Hobson. Otherwise known as Bes.

I'm sorry you've finally gotten online at this moment. Bad timing. But it'll be okay and I promise we're all much nicer and more sane than we seem right now.

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

I'm Mason. Does everyone have an Egyptian nickname here? Bastet called me Anubis? Of every name she could have written, why that one? It's uncanny....

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

Not all of us are Egyptians, no. There's also Norse, Celts, Greek, Hindu, and Judeo-Christian. I would explain more but we're in kind of a crunch at the moment. If Bastet says we need you, we do and I'm really sorry to ask you like this.

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

What do you need? I'm not sure what I could do.

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

I'm not sure either but any hand is a good hand at this point.

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

Alright...

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

It isn't too late to say hello, is it?

I'm Erato of the Greeks Amanda. It's nice to meet you.

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

No, it's never too late.

Nice to meet you too. I'm Mason.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Hi, Mason. Has your group explained to you what's going on here?

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

Kind of?

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it.

You're part of a different group?

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

I'm in the Greek pantheon. My other name is Erato. But my sister and I are very close to the men of the Egyptian pantheon. I'm hoping that will be true for you as well.

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

Oh. I can't say I know much theology other than what's related to the Egyptian pantheon. Man, this all really is real, isn't it? I guess I'll have to study up.

Thanks.

So all this really is real?

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

Hey, there! I'm Javi. Welcome to the funhouse, man. :)

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

Funhouse, huh? Is that what we're calling it? More like madhouse.

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. What else do you call a place with lots of different people and magic and floors that are there but not there? I really want a bouncy castle next. Those are fun.

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

That's okay. It's not a rare circumstance when that happens. I get the WTF look on a daily basis.

Seriously, though, don't worry about things here. Everyone really is super nice and chill and we're through most of the rough stuff this time. Except I hear some people are still missing. Shit.

BTW, it's kind of cool that your group picked you out right away and could tell you who you were. It cuts back on the remembering time.

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

I must be touched in the head for accepting this so easily. But my bullshit alarm isn't going off yet for some reason.
