“But how did you come to this time seemingly from the dead to begin with? Also can you tell us more about this Apep?”Michael seemed very confused.

"So... We're talking Nefertiti, Queen of Egypt and like, first monarch ever depicted giving a crap about her subjects?" At the inevitable questioning looks he shrugged his bulky shoulders and chuckled. "I watched the History Channel from time to time. You're a big deal, your majesty." The last was said with a playful tone, it was clear Jay held little belief in such titles but he paid due respect nonetheless.

After waiting for Michael to ask his questions Jay offered his own, he had already accepted that weird events were taking place, and the rising of such a prominent figure as Nefertiti rated about as odd as a 300-pound high-school dropout being able to transform himself into an twelve-foot long wolf thing. "Forgive me if its a stupid question, but did you rise at the same time as Apep attacked? Could it be that one of the two events instigated the other?"

Turning to Michael "That is still something I'm trying to unravel.  Why was I awaken when Apep was here destroying the world.

Apep or Apophis is an ancient Egyptian God of evil, darkness and destruction. He is the arch enemy of the sun god, Ra, he is a malevolent force who could never be entirely be vanquished. Every night as the sun traveled though the across the sky his roar would fill the air and he would launch his attack. she did her best to try to help them understand more of Apep.

Then she looked at Jay for it seemed that he was mixing her with the one Queen.

I'm not Neferneferuaten Nefertiti, for she was before my birth. it was nice to see that her history has spread into these lands and time.

"It could be why I was awaken and to stop him from destroying the world.

Michael nodded in understanding. “So how is a pretty lady that lives off of chocolate and Fig Newtons gonna take down some unvanquishable evil god? Just curious.”

Looking up to the sky "Only the Creator knows this, having me to awaken.

Then she looked to Michael "Or for me to help those after his ravishing of the world.

Michael looks at her and shrugs. “Maybe we’ll find out together? As for right now, it seems that you will not be able to stay within the apartment walls due to your...uniqueness. That’s ok though. Jay can’t either and might be able to show you somewhere in his territory you can stay that is close by to here. After that, we’ll need to take a stroll to gather more food and supplies. A quick patrol might turn us something else too.”

She looked over to the door "What would happen if I did walk through? she wondered if she could still have the ability to do such a feat.

Michael looked over at the door. “I doubt you could, but if you did possess the power of a god and went inside you would be reduced to being as weak and dumb as a newborn baby. Such is the power of my God and his blessings.He looked back at her and smiled. “Doesn’t matter anyways because there’s no reason for you to do so now. Care to join me and Jay on our little walk?”

This was the second time he mentioned his God but never once did he speak of his name.  She was curious now to know which God had power over this man and the people of these lands.  Has Seth, Hator, Anubis, Horus or Isis claimed these lands as well.

Her mind journeyed back to the times when she was a follower of the Goddess.

His words brought her out of her daydream and she looked to him then to Jay.
"I would be delighted to and maybe you might enlighten me on the God you pray to.

Jay watched the exchange between the two, carefully building a profile of each in his mind as he got to know them. As always, however, he was reticent in sharing his own opinions. He tended to enter social interactions very carefully since the loyalty he felt to his pack, his tribe and his duty left little room for shallow relationships. Once Wraith returned with Red~Muzzle he relaxed slightly, as he always did when all of his odd little pack were in sight and safe, and offered a little more of himself. "I don't pray myself. Whether there are Gods or not I know that spirits sometimes end up on this side of the Gauntlet causing trouble, and sometimes a Human finds himself caught on the Shadow side in trouble. Either way its my kind's duty to resolve the situation. Beyond that I just want a nice, quiet area to call home."

Michael nodded to Jay. “I would definitely like to see more of your side of things in action. At least it seems there is a way to join you if you need help. Got any preference on which side of town you want to check out? Any others of your kind causing trouble near your territory?”

Turning to Jay "Do you have humans living in your territory as well? then she looked to Michael for a brief moment.

He didn't reply back to her question but she was sure he would one day when he feels comfortable with sharing such knowledge.

"The territory we will claim," he made a motion with his arm to show he included both of the dogs as well as Red~Muzzle, whether the other two could see the totem spirit or not, "is rather large and encompasses the building Michael and his friends occupy. Once we have finished testing the water I will announce our intentions to the spirits nearby and claim the area properly."

 So the journey began to gather food and supplies. People were finally starting to come out of their hiding places and there were a few people out and about... though most of them were being evacuated. The remainder were people trying to clean up the vines or clear away rubble.

Michael led them to one of the supermarkets that were still standing whether they still had employees working there or not. He had money, but wasn’t sure if there would be anyone there to take it.

They could see that Nefertiti was looking left and right at any people she spotted out in about but she was also looking into empty space which Michael would think but Jay knew what she was seeing.

"Are you ... are we going to help the people first or find supplies? she asked Michael.

If they did help some of the people they might be interested in going to The Haven for safety.

Michael shrugged and looked at Jay. “We can try to help as we go I guess. As long as we make it back to the Haven before nightfall.”He looked back to her. “You seem the pretty and friendly type. Wanna go give it a shot talking to the locals?”

Nefertiti looked at Michael and took note as the time he mentioned on being back.  She didn't know the area so she was giving him all that responsibility of knowing how long it would take for them to get back to the Haven.  Which neither her or Jay was able to enter.

"I would gladly offer our assistance in hope that they accept. she replied.

As they moved closer to anyone she wanted to make sure they were comfortable with her approaching and then she would speak in her soft sweet voice.

11:12, Today: Nefertiti rolled 1 success using 4d10 with the World of Darkness nWoD system with a target of 8, rerolling 10s with rolls of 1,4,8,4.  Awe.

Jay sniffed at Michael's desire to be back at the building by nightfall, he held no particular fear of night, in fact he had been relishing the chance to sharpen his claws for days now. Issuing a series of soft noises in Yuka's ear he dispatched the hound to accompany Nefertiti, both as an enormous ball of fur that could illicit oohs and aahs from even the most stalwart dog haters and as the barely restrained package of violence and savagery that would protect their new friend if events were to go sideways. Meanwhile he kept his distance, again figuring that someone of his size would just add intimidation to the mix whether he intended it or not.

OOC: I'm guessing we can't move forward till a ST steps in or are we allowed to do some Freeforming?

 The people were in somewhat of a daze. Some of the buildings were fine but some had simply vanished, leaving only holes in the ground behind. Many were picking the fruit off the vines that they were cultivating near their houses. Despite being a fruit of some kind, they smelled like freshly baked bread and honey.

 As Nefertiti approached, she noticed that most of the humans in this area were not in terrible shape physically. Whatever weighed upon their minds likely involved the destruction around them rather than their own physical ailments.

 Instead they worked with one another to move away debris and throw it into the gaping holes left behind by the storm.

OOC: so, help with the debris or head to the supermarket?

Moving to some of the people "Would like some help? she asked.

Hoping that during the time they do help that she can find out more about what is going on around here..

 The man Nefertiti approached nodded and smiled, wiping the sweat from his brow.

 However, moving rubble was hard work.

OOC: roll strength

21:11, Today: Nefertiti failed (no successes) using 1d10 with the World of Darkness nWoD system with a target of 8, rerolling 10s with rolls of 2.  Str.


Not my strong suit. LOL

"Hell, if the lady's willing to chip in I can't exactly just watch," Jay grinned across the burden at Nefertiti and applied his back to the task alongside anyone else that would help, though not before sending Wraith off to act as a sentry. "If we can rig up a sling or something I'm sure Yuka wouldn't mind helping out too."

OOC: Yuka is as strong as me, and many hands (paws) make light work after all. At risk of scaring the bejeezus out the locals I could also shift to Dalu to boost strength a little more.
