[ 001 / video + action for freya welcome hall ]

[influenza]

[ TONIGHT, dear Asgardians, there is a pale young man on your feed. He seems a bit perplexed! Also slightly uncomfortable and perhaps a bit famished. Poor boy. Looks like he could use a nap, really.

EITHER WAY, he bites his lip just a bit before clearing his throat and speaking. ]

Ah, so if I'm to be correct in assuming -- this will be broadcasted across the city to each and every person who has a communicator like this? Almost like the Internet then, just in an even more prominent real time.

[ a pause, he's actually kind of nervous. BRINGING ATTENTION TO HIMSELF: not his thing ]

Right, so, I apologize for being a bother as I'm sure you've all heard this question a thousand and one times but, these Gods -- do they truly exist?

[ another pause before he lets out an 'oh!' as he remembers ]

I forgot to introduce myself -- my name is Edward Cullen and I'm new to Asgard. I'd say "thank you for having me" but I'm not sure if that's warranted just yet.

[ A slight grin before he reaches over and turns off the feed ]

((OOC 3/9: FDSJFJ THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAGGING ME BUT I CAN'T KEEP UP ON THE POST ANYMORE SO DROPPING THREADS ;a; let me know if you want to continue or something!!))

They truly exist -- here, at least.

[influenza]

I'm not very surprised but I'm glad I asked anyway. Norse mythology, huh?

video. destiny awaits.

[stakes]

[ He's so pale. She stares a little, raising an eyebrow. ]

Yeah, they exist. And they're kiiiinda grouchy most of the time. If you start asking questions, they get all brow-wrinkly and lecture-giving. Sorry to say you're... kinda stuck. Like the rest of us.

video; amazing things will happen

[influenza]

Lecture giving? [ Trying to imagine a God giving him a lecture. :|a ]

Heh, that's amusing-- uhm! Right, there's a lot of people here like this, isn't there?

voice;

[colonist]

Hey, Mr. Cullen! Yea, they can all hear you. It's sort of neat. And you never lose the thing!! ((waves arm around because he can. He's so communicator inept.))

[influenza]

[ okay becoming dizzy ahhhhh ]

Wow that... is really effective, yes.

[Video] 1/2

[smartwinchester]

[Is this real fucking life right now.]

[Video]

[smartwinchester]

[ ... holy shit, Sam is actually not hallucinating, wow.]

What house are you in, Edward?

[Oh, my god, he's not sure if he can do this without laughing.]

video.

[1864]

[ Katherine has an amused expression on her face, arms folded across her chest. Edward Cullen? Really? ]

[ Smugly: ] No, you were ripped from your world by entirely fictional entities.

video;

[influenza]

[ a furrowed brow! ah, sarcasm right ]

... I suppose you're right -- or well, what you're implying is right.

video;

[minifridge]

[Hoo boy.]

Hi, Edward, I'm Mary.

You've... never seen anything like this before, have you? [He looks so normal. Milquetoast. Needs some color, but whatever.] The Gods are real, and so are powers, and magic, and all kinds of things.

You're gonna meet a lot of different people from different kinds of worlds here.

video;

[influenza]

[ ... ah. she thinks he's normal, doesn't she? heh, how ironic. HE'S A MONSTER i mean, he'll go with it for now because as far as he knows, he might actually be pretty normal here. ]

That's... ah, I'm not really sure what to think of that, if I'm honest.

[Video]

[damnidjits]

[WELL. The gods sure had one helluva sense of humor. Is this seriously for real?]

Seems you're a bit outta your element.

[It is so damn hard to keep from laughing.]

video;

[influenza]

[ LIFE SUCKS ]

Really out of it, it seems.

I DECIDED TO DO TAGS AND FOUND THIS OMG HI

[clearwater]

Edward?

[if you could imagine for a second a really large puppy wagging its tail at you—that would be seth right now.]

Hey! You're here! —I mean, that kind of sucks. [trying to be sympathetic, but. FRIENDS!!!!!!] Where are you? What house? I could come find you if you want! Did you look around yet?

I'M CRYING NOW

[influenza]

[ why is his canon point a thing ]

I... I'm sorry but do I know you?

[ you look like one of dem dere warewalfs but he won't say anything about it ]

video.

[veneficus]

They exist, indeed. If they are indeed Gods or simply powerful beings, I'm not too certain.

video;

[influenza]

Either could explain how they brought us here, I suppose.

[aeterno_arma]

The internet? [What's that.]

Yes, sir Cullen , the gods are very much real here, and where I come from as well. It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Laurent. Do you have any questions about this place?

[influenza]

[ "Sir"? That kind of gains a look from Edward. ],/small>

Ah, just the usual but I think I've figured most out by now.

[video] i just have to reply to an edward cullen what.

[whatagoodgirl]

[She gets the same feeling from him that she did from Johan - not personal attraction, but the immediate knowledge that he is very attractive. As such, her cheeks are a little bit flushed when she speaks, although she's talking very seriously.]

There are a lot of different opinions about the gods - what they are, what they want, why they brought us here, whether they're good or bad. But we've seen them, so whatever they are, they're real.

video; ilu

[influenza]

[ he nods, giving a frown; not paying attention to the flush of her cheeks at all really -- it's not like he's blushed in... ages. ]

I'll try to form my own opinions on them but it is a relief to know this isn't some sort of joke. Being ... kidnapped from my world is not really something I expected.

video

[madamemoiselle]

[Coolly,] We've heard it a lot, at least! It seems like you already got an answer, though.

Hey, but whatever other people say, it's really not that bad here! I like it, at least. It's a lot of fun compared to where I came from.

video;

[influenza]

You must have come from someplace difficult then if being kidnapped is a better option.

[video]

[miiracles]

Welcome to Asgard, Cullen. Has someone filled you in on most of the details yet? [ Mr. Cullen... Cullen-san... but nope, she doesn't say those. It almost sounds kind of rude coming from a kid, but she doesn't mean to be!! ]

My name is Rika. Rika Furude. It's nice to meet you. Nipa~☆ [ Beam~☆ ]

video;

[influenza]

[ did she just star in her speech is that a thing that just happened ]

Nice to meet you, Rika and yes, I think I have enough information now though it is rather overwhelming.

[departing]

You aren't.....a bother.

[Wow that grin kind of bothers Shu, but whatever.]

About the internet or something. You can find modern things around. It won't be a problem, I guess.

What else do you want?

[influenza]

I suppose "to go home" wouldn't be a viable option, huh?

video;

[skitters]

[It's alright, Edward. Here's a girl with pink hair and an equally uncomfortable look on her face. She's kind of hiding behind her bangs.]

I'm sure that the Gods meant well when they brought you here. They just aren't very good at welcoming other ponies yet...

I'm new, too.

video;

[influenza]

[ oh gosh cute ]

Other ponies...? Ah, yes, perhaps they did. With both of us.

action;

[orphean]

[Really only planning on passing through, but it's hard not to notice the really pale guy asking questions, so she approaches. With a smile. Because she is a friendly little thing.]

It's a bit hard to believe, but the Gods really do exist here.

action;

[influenza]

[ looks up from his communicator at her and grins sheepishly ]

It's like nothing I've ever experienced before.

video;

[titties]

If you ask me, it's definitely not the work of some god, or whatever... I'm not really about to swallow that part of this entire twisted ordeal myself.

video;

[influenza]

[ . . . ]

So what do you believe then?

video

[hellmaid]

I'm sure they do exist. Anything is possible, after all, and it's not like there are any better explanations for why we were all suddenly brought here.

[ She pauses for a moment, quirking her lips upward in slight smile. ]

Welcome to Asgard, Mr. Cullen. I'm sure you'll find that things are very...interesting around here.

video;

[influenza]

I guess it's up to me to find out if that's interesting in the good or bad way, isn't it?

moar action?

[badwolf]

[Questions? Rose hasn't been here that long, but hey. She can be helpful if she wants, right? Poor guy looks exhausted.]

Doubt you're bein' a bother. Pretty sure everyone who shows up here's got questions.

action!

[influenza]

[ looks up at her and gives a small smile ]

Yeah, I just hope I'm not being too redundant, at least.

video;

[biifurcatiion]

[SNRK.]

Wow, that'th a tech explanation to latht the ageth. Way to go, profethor.

video;

[influenza]

[ . . . CONSIDERING

before just kind of going ]

Ah, excuse me but what did you just say?

[ that is one heavy lisp, dude ]

[Video]

[learninghumanity]

They do exist.

video;

[influenza]

It's... kind of weird, I'll admit.

[video]

[inventing]

The Gods exist here, as far as I am aware. I am curious, though-- what is the Internet?

video;

[influenza]

Ah, it's like... the network here, I suppose. Just with much more information.

video;

[suchpersistence]

Yes, they're called Gods, and fit in with Norse mythology... yet, the full extent of their powers is still unknown, and there are a lot of differing opinions as to what they're capable of, or more accurately, why they brought us here.

video;

[influenza]

Bringing us somewhere without even a tour guide to give us? That's kind of unfair, if I'm honest.

[Video]

[corks]

[Well, isn't Edward the perfect gentleman. Jacob smiles warly at him, as if to show that he doesn't mean any harm at all quite the contrary.]

Welcome to Asgard, Edward. I'm sure you'll just fit in just fine.

video;

[influenza]

[ a soft smile in return ]

Thank you very much. I'm trying my best to ease into this as gently as I can.

video;

[overcontrols]

The gods are kind of camera shy, but they're here... somewhere. Being creepy voyeurs and doing whatever gods do. They only come out of hiding to spout ominous mumbo jumbo at us.

[ a shrug, but she offers a faint smile. ]

I'd say "welcome to Asgard", but it's not exactly your average five star vacation.
