[The feed flicks on to reveal a rather irritated-looking Lyon.  However, the words out of her mouth and the cheerful tone she's using don't match the expression on her face whatsoever.]

You know, I was thinking... maybe I've been too quick to judge the gods and their motives.  I mean, they're making the best of a bad situation, after all.  Actually, it was really nice of them to let us have a say in what happens to our worlds in the first place.

[There's a pause as she grits her teeth, but only praise flows from her mouth when she opens it again.]

We should really be thanking them for everything they've done for us.  After all, it isn't as if they have to give us a place to live or food to eat, or even grant us these powers.  Maybe we should take this opportunity to try to understand them a little more instead of arguing with everything they have to say.

[A deep sigh and a cough.]

Just... think about it, all right?  We've all been a little too hard on them.

[At this point, she lets out a noise not unlike a growl before shutting off the feed.]

((OOC: Lyon's mouthed off on the feed one too many times, and it looks like Heimdall's finally had enough of it.  If anyone has ever heard the phrase 'if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all,' that's more or less what's going on here.  For the next week, whenever Lyon feels the urge to lecture someone, correct them in a harsh tone, disagree with something someone has said or even just complain about things, she will be able to utter only words of glowing praise in place of whatever it is she actually wants to say.))

[Unlike in previous video posts, there are no bandages on Maya's right shoulder, no sling, and her nodachi isn't in the bag she usually keeps it in. No, the beautiful sword with the swirling dragon about the sheath is resting on her shoulder as she stands before the Freya Welcome House.]

I know it's been a couple weeks since I started at the Citadel, but allow me to introduce myself. I'm Natsume Maya, and I'm one of the Citadel's instructors. I teach the sword and meditation techniques. Unlike the other sword instructors, my specialty is the Japanese style of sword. For those of you from non-Earth worlds, if the sword's blade is single-edged and has a curve to it, I can teach it. I offer lessons three times a week for sword, twice a week for meditation. If you're interested, come to the Citadel and sign up.

Now, the Citadel has a code for chivalrous behavior always within it and while taking classes there. If chivalry isn't your thing and you still want to learn, contact me privately. I do give lessons of a less than chivalrous nature on my own time, but understand that they are not easy.

On another note, my fellow Freya members, I would like to start a little house camaraderie here in the form of a martial arts club. If you are a member of Freya and know martial arts, come down to the common room. [She gives a cocky smirk.] The best fighters don't always end up in Thor.

[When the recording starts, the Doctor is busy poking around and checking the functions of the bracelet, so maybe it was turned on by accident, maybe not. He’s talking, and it certainly isn’t to the network, so it might seem very accidental.

But who knows. Maybe even he doesn’t.

The surroundings behind him are moving and his footsteps can be heard, so he’s definitely pacing as he talks. Occasionally, Rory comes into view.]

--separated from the TARDIS. That’s fine, not new, it happens, we’re always reunited in the end, that’s fine.

[Not that he sounds like he really thinks it is.]

( Cut for tl;dr )

((OOC: The Doctor's first post with a Rory cameo... thing. Not really an intro, because he's all dived into this business ok he's got dis. Oh, and it's after his thread in the mingle log. The Doctor is just black, and poor Rory's one line outside brackets is blue.))

[When the video comes on, Kate is sitting at a desk. She's back at the Forensics Unit at the Hospital, and it doesn't look like she's slept. Which is true, she hasn't. She sent everyone else on the team home a while ago, all but ordering them to get sleep because this robbery - these murders - they've been stumping all of them.]

I don't know if anyone is aware, but the Bank of Dvalin in the Heimdall District was robbed yesterday. Three of the bank employees were killed during the robbery, and as of now we have no suspects.

I'd like to ask that if anyone has any information, please contact me or anyone else here at the Forensics Unit. We're also looking for volunteers to help assist the investigation. Again, get in touch with me if you'd like to help.

[She runs a hand through her hair, looking off to the side before looking back to the feed. It feels wrong, doing this over the whole network, but she's getting a little desperate.]

And if anyone's seen Conan, tell him to- [She takes a breath.] Tell him to call me.

[ Not for the first nor the last time does the network show a newcomer. This one is all leather clothing and a white shirt; a cloak of red velvet covering his shoulders shall hint of royalty. His tone is determined and at the same time warm. He is puzzled but thankfully not panicked. ]

People of Asgard, I hope this finds you well. I have been told of the dangers posed to this realm and I mean to do all in my power to assist you. I have been called upon into this city as you once were and it is my honest wish to work alongside you so that together we may save this city.

[ however...He looks aside; distracted, or perhaps simply about to change the subject. ]

My own realm is also in great peril and I come to you today asking after a woman who might have come here before me. She is my wife, the queen of my realm and I must find her. Her name is Snow, Snow White. She would have asked after me – James.

[ a beat and his tone turns lighter - ]

Charming, if she was in a particularly good mood; though I suspect she was not.

Any information reagrding her whereabouts would be greatly appreciated.

To the goddess Sigyn who has chosen me for her house, I greet you. I shall do everything in my power to see your battle to an end and bring peace upon this realm for the sake of its people.

[ He will smile after that, incline his head and the feed shall close. ]

Excuse me, I'd like to talk to one of the gods or goddesses. I'd like to ask one of you something.

[He really hopes they get his message and didn't ignore it. It wouldn't have surprised him if they did but it couldn't hurt to try to get their attention.]
