Yama began to circle the stallion, looking him up and down, thinking. "Glasye," he said, coming to a stop in front of him. "You look positively evil." He turned to Set. "I did a good job, did i not?"

"Why thank you, thank you," Glasye bowed, shaking his mane that, regrettably, wasn't as long and silky as his old one. "Things are much better when you have a body... lots of things," He grinned wickedly. "So what's the game plan now?"

(Edit: Haha, well, I was writing while she responded, lol).
Set's loud whinny was one of glorious joy. It shook the walls of the small house and a picture fell.
"I do say, a fine job, Yama," he said as he turned to Glayse. "You look smashing, old boy. Perhaps a bit much?" Set nosed the body's bruised parts where the pulp still showed. Then with a long, drawn breath, he blew out over Glayse. The bruises soaked up his power, leaving Glayse in fine physical shape.
Set looked up at the purple locks falling over Glayse's eyes. "Shall I turn those a more favorable color?" He teased. Then he tilted his head over Glayse's hindquarters and paused to say, "Try not to think of this as an invitation," as he blew out over his rump and eradicated the notepad symbol (unless, of course, you are dying to keep it, but I thought you could add a new one of your choice).
"Someone was in the square," he said, now serious. "She knows what happened and has likely alerted others. It is unlikely we can hide your nature from the other gods, but we can distract the mortal squabblers at least. Especially, Rose." Set took this opportunity to stamp his hoof. "I'll not have you interferring with what progress we've already made with Tsuwari. You keep your calm around them and do not let them know who you are. You are a stranger from the north. That is all they need to know. At least for now."
Set's lips quivered slightly as he dwelled on deep thoughts.
"Unless, of course, " he continued and in his eyes there was a sudden glimmer. "Unless you feel the urge for a few more heirs. We could likely use as many as you can conjure. I daresay, I wonder what godly delights we might achieve if we quickened a pregnancy or two. Beget a daughter. Compound the power..." He shook his head. "Nevermind. Old fantasies, even for a god."
"Is this shape pleasing to you?" he asked at last.

"Well, I'm most pleased that I am a stallion, yes.." Glasye/Novel replied. "I could go for a bit of a makeover though.. perhaps shiny black hair?" He pondered, "and a new symbol would be nice too.. I mean, come on, a book?! Do I look like the bookworm type?" He snorted almost arrogantly, then continued in a lower voice. "There are also more.. prominent.. features I had that I would -love- to have once again.. it helps my.. allure, if you will."

Set cockled an eyebrow at Glayse's request and a sudden pang of jealousy spread through him. He pushed it aside. There were more important matters here.
"Glossy black hair... and... other enhancements. So be it."
His horn began to glow and Glayse began to take new shape.

Glasye grinned magnificently as he grew more muscular, with shiny long raven-black hair. and other more.. enhanced features. He felt powerful again. And he relished in it. Glancing to his hindquarters, he discovered a new symbol: a hanging mirror, with orange jewels laid in the frame.
"Nice.. very nice.. my compliments, Set," He grinned, also happy to have made a dark acquaintance.

Like an aged, wise father, Set nodded and gave him half a smile.
"Now, off with you. Enjoy your newfound flesh. Make what aquaintances you can. When I have need, I will call for you."

Yama watched as Set changed various parts of Glasye's new body. He also thought that there were more important things to be done, but he let the stallion have his fun. Yama had had had his, after all.
The God turned to Set. "Now, would you mind telling me exactly what is going on?" He asked politely. "My powers don't always let me know everything, after all..." He looked at Glasye examining his symbol. "I would like to know how you managed to free the orange stripe. And why you gave Glasye a body in the first place. What did he give you in return?" If he was to be in on it he wanted to know exactly what was happening.

Glasye almost took a step toward the door, then looked back at Set. "Are you sure I shouldn't be orange again? I mean, more ponies will recognize me and, more importantly, not try to kill me. A stranger who is a menace is more likely to be.. well.. murdered. And I just got my corporeal state back!"

Eshu thought the question over a sthe approaced the house, he smelled the blood long before he saw it and stepped over it rather daintily. "I" he said slowly "Am Eshu, the Gatekeeper god, where I come from... Fewa I supppose, where all gods and immortals come from. Maybe I'll take you there someday." Eshu smiled at his private joke, what seemed to the stallion to be a possible reward, was little more than a death threat.

"Really? I could go to Fewa?" Kimono's emerald-green eyes lit up with excitement. I doubt many other mortal ponies have been to such a place. Eyes set ahead of him, the purple stallion failed to notice the blood that stained the streets. His mind was too wrapped up in the fantasy of the adventure he was hoping to soon embark on.
--------------
Something caught Glasye's eye while he stood near the door. At first he debated hiding, since the poor mortal Eshu had chosen probably had no idea he was working with evil. But then again, he wasn't totally orange again, and therefore probably unrecognizable. He turned to Set and Yama, an evil smile on his handsome features, "Boys, we have company."

"Hello friends!" Eshu called jovially "Hope you haven't missed me!" He grinned and guestured to Kimono "One of my three mages." he eyed the blood with some amusement "I see you've been ahving fun, not leaving any for me though, tsk tsk..." He looked at Glayse. "Clever disguise... I believe I recognize that presence though... Interesting." He looked from stallion to stallion and thought things over to himself. Things were certainly on their side, even with all things considered. "Kimono," he said suddenly "I have a mission for you,. Would you mind doing a bit of spy work for me? Nothing serious, just visit the castle, a certain stallion's rooms, he and his friends will certainly be plotting aginst us there. You should have no trouble convincing them that you are in fact, betraying me, should you? Try to befriend a mare there by the name of Jewel, it would be to your advantage to report back to me on what she says and does." Maybe with the rather naive stallion out of the picture he could have a nice chat with his friends here about what to do next.

Kimono smiled slightly and nodded as Eshu made introductions. He looked to the other ponies, not recognizing any of them. If not for his chipper attitude and inward excitement over the situation, he might have been more wary.
"I have a mission for you,. Would you mind doing a bit of spy work for me? ... Try to befriend a mare there by the name of Jewel, it would be to your advantage to report back to me on what she says and does."
The purple stallion listened intently and nodded. "I know the castle like the back of my hoof.. or.. I used to. Shouldn't be a problem. Jewel, you said? Who is she, I mean, how is she related to all this?" Why does that name sound vaguely familiar? "I'll do my best, and report back as soon as I can."

Set shook off questions as his eyes continued to simmer in his own thoughts. He was about to answer Yama's prodding when Eshu appeared and then he became tight-lipped.
"All in due time, my friends," he whispered. To Eshu he simply inclined his head as a manner of greeting.

((OOC: Tink, you may want to put a barrier around Kimono so that the others wont be able to tell he's Eshu's mage. )
