Wow.

Nice tech. Flashy.

And here I thought waking up in Gotham was a headache. You've got to wonder how deep down this particular brand of eccentric dedication goes -- I mean, I've dated enough cops and have the common sense to know that this isn't a regular kidnapping. No ransoms, no demands, just promises of heroism, providing we do exactly as we're told. Vague instructions and all. It's our own personal social experiment-slash-reality TV show, set in Asgard (sure), which is making it seem like someone is in desperate, desperate need of lifetime membership to Arkham.

Looks like I'm batting for Team Thor. Ooh, exciting. Do I get a roommate? Are we all gonna participate in team-strengthening activities and bond over a beer and a burger? Inquiring minds.

I don't really have any idea, I'm afraid. Well, others I've met in this household are warriors, but that's the only thing I've really seen. Are you a warrior of some sort as well?

I'm a soldier.

Hou, is that so? Then you have my greatest respect. I have commanded armies, so soldiers are my brothers and kinsmen.

And that is why this is the best house, I must say! For it to be full of such noble and honorable people... Ha, how lucky we are!

Not sure I would've gone with lucky, sir, but it is what it is. ( ) I suppose we'll have our work cut out for us, from now on.

No, no, it's quite lucky! The circumstances overall, they may not be lucky, to being placed in an honorable house is very high luck. If this is a house of warriors, then there is honor amongst us. As I see it, there is less to worry about from others if we all follow some of the same ideals.

There's more than one side in any battle, though. Countries have armed forces for a reason, and there's no guarantee that every soldier is going to operate under the same honour code.

Guess we just have to hope that luck really is on our side.

Ah, I'm afraid that I disagree with. I have traveled to foreign lands with my armies and conquered enemy lands. I assumed that the people of this country would operate completely differently from us, especially in war, but I found that we had the same principles. We were not so different after all!

Heh, and that's why some of those Persian soldiers decided to follow me. It was their own choosing to follow a Greek! That in itself tells volumes about our similarity.

( ) Okay. So we're all going to be one big, happy military family.

I sure as hell hope you're right about that.

Hm? Was your army not like a family?
