American Gods RP

Nikki looked out of the window as she started to prepare breakfast. Not that she was hungry, but she was worried about the coming events and keeping busy helped her cope. She had prepared grapefruit for everyone and was thinking about making waffles.

She was surprised that she had not heard from either Jon or Zaris. This was not a good time to be out exposed. She could sense the gathering of the power of the new gods, and it sent a shiver down her spine. Would this be the next battle zone.. She wished that there was more to existence than the constant bickering. Carelessly she knocked tha carton of orange juice off the shelf, and scolded herself as it was the last one she had. She cleaned up the mess and informed the others that she was going down to the local convenience store to get more. It was a risk, but she couldn't hide in the apartment for ever. Nikki slipped out of the front door and blended into the group of people who seemed to be constantly walking seemingly nowhere. She was good at blending into the crowd.

 

It was getting late (or early, depending on how you looked at it), and Mr. Wheeler hadn't slept a wink. Not that he needed too, of course. He had watched as Nikki slipped out the door to buy some more orange juice. He looked out over the landscape of los angeles and thought about the meeting tommorrow. He wondered what would happen. Would the new gods reprimand him? would they kill him? or would they just ignore him like they usually did?

Mr. Wheeler was brought out of his reverie by a crackling noise. Mr. Wheeler knew exactly what it was and the hair on the back of his neck stood on end. HE turned arounf just in time to see the static of the television screen fade into a lone woman sitting in a white room. She looked fairly young and attractive, like a newscaster.

"Hello, Mr. Wheeler. How long has it been since we last met?"

Mr. Wheeler did his best to look unfazed.

"About two years, Media."

 

Saule was tired and needed to clear his head; he was also out of food. He looked at the TV and felt around in it with his mind, Media's attention was elsewhere. Saule left his room, with his traditional attire.

He took the nearest "path" out of the hotel. The "paths" were a route that a god could use to leave the hotel and go to one of the endpoints in LA. The end point that this "path" went to was a supermarket, and it was a short one.

Soon enough Saule was off the "path" and in a group of people walking down the street. Even though Saule in his bright close stood out like a sore thumb, because of the way that the paths had been made no one would notice him, at first. Saule quickly went into the supermarket; he felt vulnerable outside at night.

 

Nikki stopped as she sensed the solar god again. She was nearly at the supermarket, and to turn back would be suspicious. She wondered if he could sense her. Probably not. The senses came with the visions and premonitions.

Nikki lowered her head and carried on. If she was lucky he wouldn't spot her. She walked through the sliding doors and directly to the aisle where the refrigerators held various juices. Taking a container of orange juice, she walked towards the cashiers, hoping that she was anonymous enough to avoid the solar god. She noticed an awkward figure in bright garish clothes. Surely that couldn't be a god? He certain wasn't afraid to stand out.

 

zaris dug threw every grave but In the last grave he dug he founf the book.......

''hmph I had a hard time finding this thing and I put it here, so lets see I hav the key and so I can now accsess the book of the dead ^^''

Zaris then left the grave yard

 

Hiding behind the shelves of goods, Nikki watched the bright figure of the solar god. She was both scared and fascinated at the same time. He was her direct opposite, and he certainly looked the part. Her clothing was muted and anonymous, helping her disappear into the crowd. His was almost comic, it stood out so much. She couldn't get to the checkout without being seen by him. She was a little frightened.

 

{is my sister scared? awwwww this is rich ^^}

 

'Zaris, you idiot. You scare me more than the solar god, who happens to be a few feet away.Where have you been anyway. I've been worried sick!'

 

{Im driving away from the grave yard I had to get a cetain something...}

occ: o this is a telekenetic conversation ^^

 

ooc: ' = telepathic " = spoken

'Just don't charge in here. He's an unknown quantity at the moment, and you fought with Mr. Wheeler the first time you met him. Go back to the apartment and be nice to Mr. Wheeler. I'll kill you myself if you damage any furniture.'

 

''well.....uh.........I kindah broke ur chair when I was over there last..........''

 

' I'll let that slip, but no more damage or food throwing. You are like a little kid! I can't believe that I have to teach you how to behave.I know you're brave & tough, but try to be less tough around my property.'

 

{o c'mon sis lighten up a little ur to serious..........}

 

'No, I'm paying for the damage. My life was simpler before I moved here. Why do I put up with you?'

 

{well the answer is like on the 5th page of this forum u can read it there*sarcastic tone*} (not really-_-}

 

'Somehow I'm beginning to think you're wearing out your welcome. We may both be old gods, but remember how they fight? The only reason I haven't come after you is that I'm stuck here at the moment.'

 

then Zaris appered behind Nikki........

''u wouldnt kick me out would u?''

 

"No I wouldn't, and you know it. What do you make of the guy in the loud shirt? I think he's the solar god that is spying on Mr. Wheeler.

 

''I read about him Saul the solar god hes more fierce that my buddies Solares and his bro Iblis hmph but I can take him but not now .......''

 

Saule stood spaced out in the store for a minute and could not tell why. He was sleepy and running low on power, but he was usually that way anymore. Something else was influencing him canceling out the little power he had left. Saule shook it off and went to the juice aisle.

Saule hated florescent lights they were about as bad as night itself. At least night was true to itself and only night, florescent lights flashed on and off never making up their minds, a sensation that would probably annoy a god of darkness as much as him. Saule made a mental note that if the god of florescents showed up at the meeting Saule would give him (or her) a swift kick in the butt.

Looking into the supermarket refrigerator, Saule noticed that they were totally out of orange juice. Saule needed a little taste of the sun (which every orange had), now, even though sunrise was only a few hours away.

He knew that this additional annoyance was perfectly in sync with every annoying thing that had been happening over the last day. This was different, Saule was now genuinely on the point of despair. He banged his fist into the wall next to him without vigor, and walked as if to leave.

It was then that he noticed the hooded woman standing in line, who he had been completely oblivious to earlier. She had the last orange juice in the store! Saule completely ignored the tall man in a black coat not far from her.

'I have been having the one of the worst days ever, I think I deserve that more then her' Saule thought, and he picked up a candy bar so as to have an excuse to stand behind her in line.
