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.

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...

Like Bastet said, we're still missing one of our group. Astarte. Tara. Meri's mom. I know you're new to this and I'm really sorry you're getting a baptism by fire but it is incredibly important that we get her back. We can't let little Meri lose her mom forever, you know?

And we'll worry about what Tyler is hinting at later. Seth is going to have to deal with it after we save Astarte.

Right. Still not sure who some of those people are. And really not sure what I could do to help. My spring break's almost over.

I think I could guess at what he's hinting at. I'm not totally clueless. If there is a real life Seth out there, I'm totally fine with staying as far away from that as possible.

Sorry. Astarte, Tara, Meri's mom are all the same person. I swear I'm usually more coherent than this but I get a little overprotective when it comes to kids and families.

And I respect that. But I'm just going to say that you can't both avoid each other forever and he better get over his grudge because there is no way anyone is going to be left out to dry. Not after how we've lost Tara this time.

This is all so crazy.

So what's being done to find Astarte?

[Filter: Bes and Anubis]

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

Just searching and searching. She wasn't with our missing pieces but some of the others are missing, too. My bet is that at least some of them are being held in the same location. It's easier to mask one spot than a whole bunch. I hope.

So how do you know where to look? Bastet said something about La's Vegas being important to the Egyptian pantheon. Are here any other places like that? What about the underworld?

[Filter: Bes and Anubis]

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

There was a note when we got through the doors and mess in Vegas that indicates we're done there. For now, at least. Astarte is not going to be found there. The note is a bit of doggerel that seems to point in the direction we need to go but it's cryptic to say the least.

So did you figure out the clue?

What was it?

"What you lost can yet be found
Where the tree of life kisses the sky
With its feet on the ground."

Tree of life? There's mentions of that in the Osiris tales. Is Osiris a part of this group?

[Filter: Bes and Anubis]

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

He would be but he hasn't shown up yet. That's the only tree of importance that I can think of in Egyptian mythology. Other pantheons have a lot more trees. Unless the poem is trying to tell us that we need to check with the Norse.

I guess, if others are willing to help. 'Tree of life' seems to be a common theme among pantheons.

[Filter: Bes and Anubis]

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

It does - especially amongst societies that have a lot of trees such as the Norse and Greek. If we're looking for trees, though, I'm pretty sure we won't be finding what we need in Vegas. I somehow doubt we need a palm tree and that's the majority of what is going on in this bit of the world.
