001 : Video : The Inadvertent Asgardian Occupation

[watsowned]

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's...the mythical city of Asgard deciding to be not-so-mythical.

Supernatural shenanigans are afoot. It must be a day ending in 'y.'

[ She rolls her eyes. Wendy may not be entirely sure what to make of this whole situation, but she figures her new, handy-dandy wrist communicator (or, more accurately, the people she can use it to communicate with) can help her out, aaand it's not as if she's a stranger to crazy situations like this. ]

I vote we skip the Wizard of Oz jokes, and head straight to the introductions and the passing on of necessary information about this inadvertent Asgardian occupation. Anything and everything is worth mentioning, FYI, because I'm not so sure I trust our gray hosts and hostesses' little welcome spiels. I mean, don't get me wrong. I've got nothing against the color grey or people lacking faces, but I've read The Giver, and I know that anything without a face could be totally up for stealing one, namely mine. Aaand while a face stealer makes for an awesome horror flick, in practice it seems a little extreme, human centipede extreme, if you know what I mean. 

[ le sigh ]

Anyway, hey, I'm Wendy Watson, and here's to hoping I won't be here all week.

Kind of. It's a long, horrifying story. The moral of which is: don't date film majors.

I've at least been told the basics, I think. Bringing color into the world, war declarations, ect.

Film majors...?

[He's seen worse things than a hypothetical student film about a person turning into a life-sized centipede, but he still can't say it's a way he'd want to spend his time.]

Yes, you're right. It's probably for the best.

You were told about the dragons, Odin's address, and so on?

Where have they placed you?

Film majors. They seem cute and sensitive at first, but trust me, their doucheyness is an impressive thing, as is their ability to stomach the abominations of the cinematic world.

[She shakes her head. Film majors.]

Got it in one.

I'm in Freyr. The one with the admittedly kickass slide.

[ryuuzaki]

Cute and sensitive? I wouldn't know. It's good to have a strong stomach, though, isn't it?

A number of the God Houses have the slides now. They were consolation prizes.

[watsowned]

It's a little disturbing if someone can stomach things that are at a human centipede level of horribleness.

And now I just feel disappointed. The kickass slide means nothing to me now.

[ryuuzaki]

You can still enjoy the slide. Some of the houses have won other things, I believe... Heimdall has a ball pit. You won't be able to stay in any of the other houses for long, though.

[He's meandered through most of them, looking around the public areas, which are much the same in each house. It doesn't take long for the discomfort to become unbearable; the fact that he experiences it at all, that he can't control it, and that it compels his behavior to some extent frustrates him.]

It seems like it would be useful in some circumstances to be able to stomach objectionable things. However, movies are illusions... the ability to tolerate what we see in them doesn't necessarily indicate that we'll have the same ability in real life.
