[ On the screen appears a rather attractive Frenchman; dressed more casually rather than wearing his standard uniform. France seems rather comfortable despite his current predicament of being new to Asgard. He's found his way around easily enough, however, and learnt the basic information he needed to learn. While he's not so great with computer like devices, he's finally figured out how to get onto the network. ]

Bonjour, Asgard! You may call me Francis Bonnefoy.

I come from the lovely country of France! Have you heard of it?

I suppose I have to accept this mission to "restore the color to Asgard", non? Regardless if I have to or not, I will accept. I come from the country of love, after all!

It'd be lovely if you'd introduce yourselves to me!

[ his laid back attitude changes to a more serious one at this point, though the bright smile he's wearing never leaves his face. ]

Also, by chance, would anyone have information on an Arthur Kirkland?

I'm Claire Bennet. [ She almost went to France, once. ]

Re: video

[magnifique]

[ A lovely young woman right away! He'll flash his smile at her, too. ]

Miss Claire, could you tell me more about this place?

And perhaps, more about yourself, oui?

[cheerhealer]

I just got here, so you probably know more about it than I do. [ She gives him a small smile. ]

As for me, I'm not too interesting. Just your average college kid being transported to another dimension by some desperate gods. Same old, same old, you know?

Re: video

[magnifique]

As I just arrived myself, it looks like we're in this together!

Au contraire, my dear, is that really all there is to you?

[ France's curiosity is piqued now. He wants to know more about her. ]

Re: video

[cheerhealer]

Looks like it. [ No that backfired horribly for her. ]

Unfortunately, yeah. Don't get me wrong, I like this new power that I have -- growing plants -- but other than that, I'm incredibly boring. [ Mostly. ]

Re: video

[magnifique]

I am sure there is more to you than that, my dear!

[ But he'll move on from that. ]

Speaking of powers, mine is the ability to - transfer energy, it seems!

Re: video

[cheerhealer]

[ Thank God. ]

That seems like a useful power. Whose house are you in?

Re: video

[magnifique]

I believe I am in Freya!

Though, I am still waiting on the housing assignment...

And you, my dear?

Re: video

[cheerhealer]

Sigyn. [ A pause. ]

I'm probably pronouncing it wrong. I'm not used to these kinds of names.

Re: video

[magnifique]

Sigyn?

[ He pronounces it the way he thinks it's pronounced. ]

Like that possibly, oui?

Re: video

[cheerhealer]

Maybe. It sounds ... right. Ish.

Re: video

[magnifique]

But of course!

Have you been to your House yet?

[ As he's still waiting on his assignment, he hasn't seen his yet. ]

Re: video

[cheerhealer]

Yeah. I already like it a lot better than my dorm back home.

Re: video

[magnifique]

So they are adequate?

[ this is good news to him. ]

Re: video

[cheerhealer]

More or less.

Re: video

[magnifique]

That is very good to hear! Especially if they have cooking supplies.

Speaking of that, I am quite a good cook.

Is there anything specific you have a taste for, Miss Claire?

Re: video

[cheerhealer]

[ She coughs into her hand, completely taken aback by the request. What? ]

Um-- pasta, I guess. Why do you ask?

Re: video

[magnifique]

As Miss Claire has been kind enough to welcome me, I should give her a little something in return, oui?

[ though it's less of doing the polite thing and more of wanting to get to know her better. ]

Re: video

[cheerhealer]

That's nice of you, but it really isn't necessary, Francis.

Re: video

[magnifique]

[ he frowns at that. Looks like his attempts at charming her aren't working. ]

Well, if you need anything, you let Big Brother Francis know, yes?

Re: video

[cheerhealer]

[ She's already taken back home, Francis, sorry. :( Gretchen is still her forever girl. ]

Yes, sure, I will. It'd be nice to talk to a few familiar faces every once in a while before I go stir crazy.

Re: video

[magnifique]

[ well, that explains that! Not like he knows, but he'd understand if he did. ]

[ But then he's distracted by that next bit, anyway. ]

My dear, you must not let yourself go "stir crazy", oui?

I'm sure there are... enough around here that are stir crazy enough for the rest of us!

Re: video

[cheerhealer]

That's awfully optimistic.

Re: video

[magnifique]

You'd be surprised at what I've seen in my lifetime!

If you let yourself go stir crazy, it'd be hard to go back!

Re: video

[cheerhealer]

I've seen some pretty crazy stuff myself. [ Which has, unfortunately, not exactly changed her for the better. ]

But I think I can bounce back from it... eventually. I've bounced back from worse.
