Eternal Dominion - Horus

Although she was named Horus on all her employment documents at Aether Gazer, she still had all her memories from when she was Ausar, and those who knew her before continued to call her Ausar out of habit, which made it difficult for her to get used to her new name for some time. One day, Horus wanted to change her name back to Ausar. But Shu told her that many Mods had completely different lives and names before awakening. Having a new name as a Mod didn't mean abandoning the past—it simply marked the beginning of a new life. To Shu's surprise, Horus, who hated being lectured like that, actually withdrew her request without arguing. Shu later apologized to Ausar for what had happened during that surgery, but Ausar didn't seem to mind. "...Hasn't Shu always been like that? It's just a waste of effort to get angry with her. Just let her be." Shu wasn't the only one to be confused. Even Horus didn't understand why she would make such a comment about Shu. The only explanation she could come up with was that it was the resurfacing of a lingering impression from the previous era. Because of Horus' special status, Aether Gazer did not impose many restrictions on her. She wasn't assigned to any squad, didn't belong to any division. She felt more like a collaborator they’d invited in than a regular employee. Because of that, Horus would essentially be on vacation the entire time when there were no missions. After learning to use the Internet, she quickly found all sorts of ways to entertain herself. She even remarked bluntly that Osiris's lifestyle had been so dull she'd mistakenly thought Ain Soph was a boring place. However, Horus' enthusiasm for new things came and went quickly. In the end, the only interests that stuck were electronic music and graffiti—that, and her ongoing project of filling the big house she lived in with ornaments, lights, and gadgets, making it more and more extravagant. Another thing, which was less a hobby than an obsession, was that Horus loved pulling people aside to tell them stories, much like how Osiris used to tell her stories outside the Imago Room in the past. She seemed to think this was a perfectly normal way for friends to chat. So she collected stories she found especially interesting and would suddenly tell them to others. Unfortunately, her enthusiasm for storytelling far outweighed her talent for it. She tended to pick intense, violent, and sometimes downright bizarre stories, and her audience usually ended up breaking into a cold sweat, either because they felt awkward or really got a fright. Horus seems to have completely adapted to her new life... but it'll probably take some time until she really feels comfortable.
