NPC POST - EVENT START

[asgardsstrength]

[ This post appears on the evening of Day 290, minutes after the first Visitors begin to arrive. Thor is oddly harried, sharp. ]

This is a mistake, and we're working on fixing it. You lot showing up - surprise! Welcome to the city. Don't wander out of the gates, don't die, and enjoy the party until we can figure out a way to send you home.

You travelers - answer their questions, take care of them, whatever. We'll be setting up lodging in Folkvang -- [ He glances off screen, wrinkles his nose in distaste, and then looks back at the feed. ] -- and in my arena too, I guess, even though - [ pointedly, to off-camera: ] -- it's an arena, it's not meant for disaster lodging!

I'll answer what I can, but I'm busy, so Pyro, try not to get your panties in a twist about me being dodgy again. I've just got better things to do than chit-chat today.

[ Thor sighs, shrugs, and then dryly finishes: ]

Hope you're enjoying the fireworks.



[ OOC: Signaling the start of the festival/visitor's event! Fourth wallers and current players alike feel free to comment in here. Thor won't have time to converse for long, but please treat this as a network mingle post and hijack to your hearts' content!

Also, feel free to make fresh comments on this post for the duration of the event - they just don't have to happen on the evening of Day 290. Here is the party mingle log and visiting character directory. Happy playing, and we hope you enjoy your stay, visitors! ]

Oh, you can sacrifice your arena for a few nights, it won't hurt you!

[If they could leave the city, she'd be helping them herself. Don't be so put out, Thor. Gosh!]

[asgardsstrength]

The arena wasn't built for people to sleep in.

[ Do you hear that whine. ]

[video]

[outofcontrol]

An interdimensional leak.

[He's caught between laughter and disbelief, but finally settles on a completely flat look.]

Well, at least when you guys fuck up, you don't go halfway.

[video]

[asgardsstrength]

Just do me a favor and don't talk to any of them, please? Want them to have a good impression of the city and all that.

[necrowmantic]

Can't we keep them? Don't you guys need a whole bunch more cannon fodder for your army?

[asgardsstrength]

We're doing our best.

[tigers]

How the devil do you make a mistake like that?

[asgardsstrength]

Does it ever occur to you that there are things happening in this city that you might not understand?

[odinsons]

[ oh. so it's the fake thor. HE'S BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU. obviously not very hard but whatever. the opportunity is here so he's not going to let it slip through his fingers. ]

Should you not be apologizing to everyone you have stolen and forced to live under such restraints, not simply these new... travelers? Perhaps you all should be working toward reversing all your transgressions.

[ yeah. he does want to fight about it. ]

video;

[asgardsstrength]

[ Thor simply regards... other Thor for a moment, expression deadpan, lips pursed. And then, finally: ]

No. Those transgressions were on purpose.

Video

[snugglesjugs]

Oh so that's what's been going on, I thought you'd be taking more people then usual. I hope the maids aren't being over worked.

Hey, Old man Thor! You shouldn't be upset the arena, its not like they'll mess up your arena in anyway. [aka Stop whining you big baby. ]

Video

[asgardsstrength]

Old man Thor? Really?

[Video]

[2cool4guardian]

Your arena? Oh, no! [So exaggerated and fake.] Where are you going to hide your beer now?

[Video]

[asgardsstrength]

As if I've ever needed to hide the beer.

[asgardsbeauty]

[It's probably unexpected, considering how worn the twins had looked when they returned, but one of them responds to the announcement with a little message of her own.]

As Thor said, the Folkvang House is open to any visitor who needs lodging for the time. I cannot welcome you to my District myself, but my aestheticians will see to your comfort in my place.

[Unwilling to pass up a chance when she sees it, Rose works in a filter and replies.]

Doin' okay there, Ma'am?

[Whether the 'title' is intentionally professional or uh, maybe a little jokingly said, is anyone's guess. But hey. Freya is her House. She can care a little, can't she? It's not like she's had the chance since she got here, what with the Twins having been missing since before.]

[beforethewar]

And what if you'd rather one or two of them...didn't go back home?

[Real subtle, Eight. Stop looking so giddy.]

You know, you should make more mistakes like this. It's much more pleasant.

[asgardsstrength]

We'd rather all of them stayed, actually.

[ An influx of this many travelers, all at once? The city would explode with life. It would rock. ]

But they weren't pulled here the right way, and it's - I don't know, something magic and complicated and I'm really not the one to ask about this. The point is, we're sending them home soon because it's dangerous for them and for the world.

[redhourglass]

( look who makes a rare, public appearance on the network. )

That's one hell of a mistake.

[asgardsstrength]

[ Thor just presses a tight-lipped smile at her. ]

And?

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

Did someone slip on the buttons? Are there buttons? I love buttons, I hope there are buttons.

[ Because one day he'll see what it is you're using to do all this, and he'll love it. Even more so if there are buttons. ]

[Video]

[yggdrasilvips]

Oh, aren't you just the enthusiastic one!

[Finally a cute Traveler! The rest just wanted to tell them how they messed up! This one was at least nice.]

[Video]

[asgardsclaws]

[This is your native cannibalistic wolf god speaking, as annoyed and hungry as ever.]

My, there are a lot of you, aren't there?

I'd recommend that you all stay together in the camp and don't make too much of a ruckus. Stragglers have an unfortunate tendency of being eaten.

[Visitors are totally on the menu for eating, right? Why bother sending them back home if Fenrir can just dispose of them and get a free meal out of it? Sigh, politics.]

[Video]

[necrowmantic]

...There sure are a lot of stragglers aren't there?

[Hint hint.]

[Video]

[unbrokenwheel]

Dude, this is a pretty big mistake. What did you do, not calibrate your senors properly?

Actually, better question. Why did my toolbelt stop doing its magical bit?

[Video]

[asgardsstrength]

It's more complicated and more dire than that, so: shhh.

And because your magic stinks. We got rid of it while you're here.

video.

[asgardsheart]

Oh my! Could I keep some of them?

[ Sigyn please. ]

video

[yggdrasilvips]

They're not pets, Sigyn.

[Exasperated sigh followed by a bit of a laugh.]

[wasthemaster]

You could have at least accidentally brought in people that weren't entirely awful.

[asgardsstrength]

We'll keep that in mind next time that there's a fucking disaster.

video;

[hypertoxic]

You have got to be fucking kidding me! Dragging me here twice wasn't enough? And now when you do it a third time, it's a fucking mistake? Get real! I have way better things to do than be here. Again. I never gave a shit about you gods and I am never going to. Figure out what's going on here and get me out of this stupid city! Urgh.

[ Someone's pissy. ]

video;

[asgardsstrength]

Do you need some candy? I could magic up some candy for you.

video

[conquering]

[ oh this is rich, she won't pass the opportunity to tease Thor. ]

Come now, is that a way for a supposed God of Asgard to welcome the newcomers to his own city? Join them, milord. I am certain they will appreciate it.

video

[asgardsstrength]

[ He's just left groaning softly, rubbing at his face. ]

How about you welcome them with your pretty face and I use my pretty face to pretend that I understand what's going on and how to fix it?

[bowdown]

why the fuck you wanna send em home
dont you guppies need canon fodder fo you shitty war
i meant warriors shore

[yggdrasilvips]

They are not supposed to be here. You lot are different.

[They're going to have to explain this all day aren't they?]

[unrestrained]

Gee, here I thought Gods were all knowing.

If you guys can make this kind of mistake I really don't want to be here when you blow up the city.

[asgardsstrength]

It wasn't our mistake.

[ Snapping. ]

But if the city does blow, I'll make sure you're at the epicenter.

[video]

[ghani]

... You don't want them to stay?

[ BECAUSE SHE REALLY WANTS HER VISITOR TO STAY. ]

[video]

[asgardsstrength]

Of course we do. [ He's exasperated - it's nothing personal. ]


They just can't stay like this.

[samantha_grey]

... what happens if they die?

Audio

[asgardsstrength]

I don't know. Then they die? Ask Hel. That's not my domain.

[The Marquis attempted to work the text function, but he just does not have the patience to type everything out. Instead, just have a video. A video of a very wet (yet still somehow dignified) anthropomorphic rabbit with narrowed red eyes.

He appeared in Gefion Park. Specifically, in the lake.]

Well, that was an entirely informative introduction. Thank you, good sir. [Is that a lilt of sarcasm as he flicks his waterlogged ears into a perked position?]

I would be happy to assist you in bringing these people back to their native worlds. I'm a Treewalker, you see. The one problem seems to be that, upon entering this world, I have somehow lost my ability to perform magic and walk between worlds. [Okay, his ears do not have the muscles to stay perked. He tilts his head, squeezing some of the water out of his furry ears one by one, still somehow looking posh while doing so.] I don't suppose you would know something about that?

[Video]

[asgardsstrength]

Magic doesn't work here.

[ His lips are pursed; he's impatient. Sorry, Marquis. ]

Your magic doesn't, at least. We'll get the problem sorted out and you lot sent back soon enough. Just be patient.

[video]

[felttheburn]

Tch. I was using that.

[he means the arena -- and for its intended purpose, even!]

[video]

[asgardsstrength]

So sorry for the inconvenience.

PATRON GOD.
A THOUGHT.
KILLING THEM WOULD GET RID OF THEM VERY QUICKLY.
AND MAKE YOUR JOB A LITTLE EASIER.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

[asgardsstrength]

if you kill them i am making calliope queen of asgard for a month

[intelligently]

What do we have to do to get someone to stay?

[asgardsstrength]

There's nothing you can do. They have to be brought in a very certain way to live here without being a danger to themselves and everyone else. We're trying to help fix things, and hopefully some will stick around - if we can get things done properly.
