the book of ra

175. a few of thoth's previous hosts were heavy smokers (back before the health side effects of smoking were well-known). he doesn't do it anymore, but sometimes when he's stressed he'll get the urge to smoke again while in his human form.

174. anubis and nico met in a graveyard one night and anubis really liked this kid's look, so he changed his appearance to match it and to try and impress sadie with it

173. the gods (especially thoth) took an interest in jaz a while after the war. carter didn't understand why, only catching one word everytime thoth came over and had spotted jaz: "ma'at". carter didn't fully understand the meaning of it until chaos demons took jaz away (she returned safely with barely any scratches and glowing hands)

171. walt decided to teach himself how to draw. it was a way for him to get the scenes from his nightmares out of his head.

172. after finding out that both carter and sadie couldn't cook or bake at all, and wanting the trainees' birthdays special, jaz took over the food and dessert at birthday parties. she can make a mean pizza and chocolate cake.

170. sadie is small for her age, causing extreme frustration when people assume that she's ten or eleven

169. jaz almost always gets cast as the female lead in bag musicals, which happen three times a year. despite what people tell her, she's sure it's only because drew tanaka purposely tries out for supporting rolls. as much as she disliked drew as a person, she was really very talented. 

168. amos started a jazz band.

167. anubis met ruby kane one day in london on her sixteenth birthday. he recognized that she had the blood of the pharaohs, but was baffled that no one had told her about her lineage, especially since ruby had such great potential. when he met sadie years later, he was glad that sadie's family hadn't failed her like ruby's had.

166. in brooklyn house's library, there's one in-wall bookcase that doesn't hold books. instead, it holds framed photos of the members of the 21st nome at various school events, soccer games and even just candid snapshots of the kids having fun in everyday life. as new initiates arrive, their pictures are added to the collection, but no photographs are ever removed from the crowded shelves (which everyone now affectionately calls "the shrine").
