[No explosion this time; Castiel is broadcasting from outside in a quiet portion of the city, wearing a far too large hoodie that he's stolen from Sam, which probably looks a little ridiculous in contrast to his serious expression.]

And so the second of declaration of 'war' has ended and this conflict is becoming more pressing, though the gods still seem content to simply watch and do nothing.

[He doesn't know if they're watching or listening to these posts, and he really doesn't care at this point.]

The choice of whether to fight to assist them, to fight to protect yourself and others, or to attempt to keep from conflict all together is one that is becoming unavoidable. These choices are all valid, for differing reasons.

[He's all for choice; choosing to fight, choosing not to fight. He isn't at all interested in attempting to dictate which anyone does. But...]

There are many here, however, who have faced nothing like this before; who have no experience or knowledge necessary to fully consider the implications and consequences each action may yield. In contrast, there are also some with experience in matters such as this; some for who this is not new, or even entirely unusual. Those who are willing to share their knowledge, it would be of benefit to everyone to do so.

[He'll even tell some of his own experience, if it seems warranted.]

Open discussion is warranted, so that the best choices can be made by all.

A second declaration...?

Ah, Castiel-san anticipated me!

There were a few questions I wanted to ask while the event is still fresh in everyone's mind, so if you're okay and don't need to take a break from this stuff, please answer!

Since it seems like we should prepare for more attacks like this, I want to know what weapons and strategies people found most effective and who you worked with. If you were on the support side, were you able to keep pace with the injuries coming in, or did you need more in the way of support and supplies?

This is what I've been trying to jump on. I've had some interest, too. People need to learn how to defend themselves. Extra classes, weapons and self-defense alike.

I know Merlin's been talking about setting up some sort of training thing.

Shooting them seems to be pretty high on my list of 'things-to-do'.

[Sam's hand and arm is still bandaged, but. He looks better.]

We had a meeting shortly before the faeries came.

12 days ago a dragon flew over the city, set a few fires and delivered a message from the Fire Giant King. The King considers that the gods of Asgard have betrayed something and in retaliation declared war on the city -- Odin later confirmed this.

[He just wanted to go home - he still just wants to go home, and he was willing to cooperate. Really. But now that something like this has happened again, Enma feels rattled, angry that gods aren't doing anything to help, and it's insulting. He has far better things to do than fight for people who won't fight for themselves]

Dunno what to do.

Don't want to fight for them, though.

I've... I've fought to save the world before, but it wasn't anything like this, so I don't know if I can say anything to help people. But if you want to ask me something - I'll do my best.

I hate to ask for this, but I slowed down a lot of people while I was trying to get to the hospital because they had to stop and help me out. I'm just never going to be able to swing a sword or fight as well as some of the people here, so I think we could use an... an escort squad to get the healers and everyone helping them to the healing stations around the city. It's annoying to be a bother like this, but if we could streamline it somehow, less fighters would have to be taken out of the battle to help people trying to get around.

Let them keep declaring war, and I'll keep kickin' their asses. Simple as that.

My power was actually useful! It's not good offensively, but I was able to steal energy from them and give it to Kaz, which let him control them for way longer than he normally could.

Don't apologize, Nakama-neechan! As it happens, I think Merlin's friends were organising themselves to be able to help people get where they needed. I think that they'd be up for something like what Nakama-neechan's suggesting.

So you teamed up to combine powers? Ha, that sounds like it was a really effective approach!

I don't know for how much longer a war can be avoided.

My... experiences with war might not be quite like what's happening here, but I would be glad to help however I can as well.

Castiel-san's right -- but if we're facing Frost Giant's, it's not unlikely we'll see enemies like these faeries again.

Relatively minor? Ah, that's good news!
