Thoth did not like parties. More specifically, he hated parties that were, well like this one. He enjoyed parties where one discussed the meaning of life, and where he could show off his inventions to like minded peers. This party was the exact. Filled with horny gods and goddesses grinding, hoping to find a lover for that night while trying to figure out ways to cover up their affairs in the morning if they were married. Thoth coughed into his elbow. Zeus was going to be on every newspaper in Olympus by the time morning came most likely. The Olympian was known to be a man-whore throughout all of the pantheons. His brother Poseidon wasn't much better, with the tabloids stating that he was in an open relationship with his wife. Every rumor was based in truth after all. Being the god of wisdom meant that Thoth was very well equipped to find out the truth if he so wished. That's why Amun-Ra and Osiris often paired him with Khepri in the past, during the events of Set's Civil War, as well as other numerous conflicts. Thoth skillfully avoided a few grinding nymphs who kept throwing him weird stares.

Isis was going to make fun of him when he finally went back home. Afterwards she would probably try to set him up with Ma'at again, which he didn't mind. She was nice, he supposed. Back to the job at hand, Thoth, Khepri and Anubis were here to make friends with the Olympians. Anubis was perfect for this mission with his big puppy eyes, while Khepri was the exact opposite. Where Anubis was friendly and always had a smile on his face, Khepri was always standoffish and intimidated their peers with her various masks. She was a good friend, once you got past her various layers of insecurity which she threw into her swarm and her confident front. It made Thoth wonder why Amun-Ra decided to send her with them.

Khepri, known throughout the Lands of the Living and the Dead as being one of the most anti-social goddesses, as well as one of the most dangerous being sent on a diplomatic mission? That didn't add up in Thoth's opinion. Khepri was here for something else, something dangerous. If he was forced to ask, Khepri would probably say that she was sent as their protection, but that would easily be a lie.

Thoth and Anubis had served with distinction during the war, and were competent enough to defend themselves against these Olympians. Centuries of peace had these Olympian's weak. None of the current generation knew what it meant to suffer like the 'Six Traitor Dynasty' as they called Hades, Hestia, Demeter, Zeus, Hera and Poseidon.

What an unflattering name to the ones that saved their lives and guaranteed them a future, ungrateful brats.

Several Nymphs and minor gods gave Thoth a few glances, mostly at his beak and went back to their dancing. Most ogled at his form which left a sour taste in his mouth. Perhaps wearing a white suit that was covered in several ankhs wasn't the best idea after all. Normally Thoth would have blamed Anubis for picking out this particular suit, but Anubis wasn't here. Technically they were in the same place, but Anubis had wandered off to Parts Unknown.

Seriously, who named the snack table Parts Unknown? Stupid Olympians with their lame jokes and puns. Everyone knew that puns were the lowest form of humor! Thoth had even written several essays detailing how to write the perfect joke.

Looking around the crowd around him, Thoth sighed. It seemed he had taken the horny side judging by the amount of making out and grinding happening around him. Thoth jumped a little when he felt someone slap his ass. Turning around, he came face to face with a grey nymph along with her fellow friend.

"Hey sexy." Grey Nymph said while looking him up and down. Was she seriously checking him out? These Olympians were more brazen than he thought, and that was saying something considering Isis wasn't exactly the most family friendly goddess around! Osiris enjoyed it though, the poor cripple. Both nymphs wore dresses that looked at home in a strip club as it barely concealed their very noticeable assets. Khepri would probably die of embarrassment if she was forced into that.

"Do you want to have some fun with us?~" Hm, this could lead to a lesson about the anatomy of nymphs. There were many types after all, such as flower nymphs, sea nymphs, river nymphs, as well as sky nymphs just to name a few. The grey one seemed to be a sea nymph, and her friend appeared to be a flower nymph. A perfect chance to observe the differences in anatomy, for science!

"Perhaps." Thoth would need to head back to his hotel room to gather a notebook for his notes. These nymphs must have been rather bold to ask him of such a deed. Still, he didn't like the looks they were giving him, like he was a bird caught in the gaze of its hunter. Taking a sip of alcohol, Thoth was about to speak again when he felt someone touch his shoulder.

"It's nice to see that you're making friends now buddy ol pal." Anubis wrapped a large arm around Thoth's shoulders. Of course the idiot would show up now in the middle of his experiment. Dressed in a matching suit, with the colors inverted, Anubis looked the exact opposite to Thoth's dashing style. Who was he kidding, they both looked like idiots. Whenever in doubt, always blame Anubis.

"Yes...friends." Thoth mumbled as he took another sip. Fine stuff this nectar! It tasted much better than the shit that the Norse called mead. Maybe he could try fixing their recipe in the future? Last time he did that, the Aztecs decided to run him out of their land, all because he wanted to see if their chocolate could turn white. It would be best to be more cautious this time around.

"Where's Khepri?" Anubis asked Thoth, the two nymphs patiently waiting off to the side as they took a few steps away from them. They must have known better than to interfere with the work of the gods.

"She took the less scenic route. I took the right while she took the left." Thoth said simply. Hopefully the nymphs didn't leave yet. Science shall not be denied!

"Oh, just like Thebes then." Anubis ate a fancy sausage that he had pulled out from his pocket. Suddenly, his face froze into one of horror.

"Thot, you do remember what happened at Thebes right?" Anubis said slowly, horror never leaving his face. What was he so worried about?

"Yeah, why?" Thoth wiped the sweat off of his forehead with a handkerchief. Was it starting to get hot in here? Maybe it was the stares the two nymphs were giving him.

"You left Khepri, the one that we both are friends with, the one that's more antisocial than even you." Hey! Thoth wasn't that bad. "You're telling me that you left the Butcher of the Desert all by herself in a building full of lust filled Olympians who would no doubt try to find themselves in bed with her?"

Thoth's eyes widened, and his expression turned into one of horror, just like Anubis.

"Shit."

A/N

Well, in the end I decided to throw myself into my writing. I wasn't expecting that many people to reply to the post about the delay of this chapter.

DYFD? was supposed to be updated on Friday, with LK on Saturday, with me publishing Bangtan Taylor on Sunday when I received the news about my Grandma.

I was also planning the rewrite of Chimera, using the older version as a guide. Well, due to family issues, Chimera's rewrite and Bangtan Taylor's publishing date will be pushed back. DYFD? will be put on a temporary hiatus.

I'll be focusing on LK at the moment, and don't worry, I've come to terms about my Grandma's condition.

I cope by writing, and pouring out my emotions into my work, even if said work doesn't come out looking sad. After posting the information post, I threw myself into this chapter.

Keep an eye out for Bangtan Taylor when I'm finally done with it. Unnie Lung will be waiting~

Oh, and if anyone is wondering, my current avatar is Hecate from Lore Olympus, aka Best Girl.
