[Hibiki looks pretty tired today. But this time, it's not because of fights of any sort-- instead, the cause is a small creature snoozing away on her lap. At the moment, its back is not lit in the slightest.]

I got an egg a while ago, and it finally hatched. I was wondering if I was taking care of it okay, but it seems to be healthy.

[She pets the Pokémon affectionately on the head, and it gives a tiny yawn before snuggling its face into its paws.]

It's so small and warm...

[Oops, distracted! She faces the camera again.] Umm... I don't think I'll be able to go to the hospital today. I want to make sure he gets fed once he wakes up again, and I need some time to go over the book so I don't mess up when I take care of him.

I was thinking, though... Red-san, is it okay if I name him? I'm not sure if that's allowed with Pokémon, so I just wanted to ask... Er, but I'm not really sure if he's a boy, either. Ummm... How do you check that, anyway?

Oh, and, umm... If anybody has any tips on how to raise a Pokémon, I'd like to hear them. This is the first one I ever got, and I don't think raising a Pokémon is anything like raising a homunculus, so... I'd appreciate it very much!

[Watson's bow is crisp and professional -- no messing about here. He's clearly keen to get down to business.]

To all newcomers, welcome. I'm Dr. Watson, the owner of the Yakuzen clinic in Heimdall. To those of you I've already met, good day.

This is just a quick message to let anyone interested know that the first aid classes will resume at the Clinic, starting from Day 187. For directions or to register interest, please reply or leave me a message at my 'voicemail.'

[And now that's out of the way, Watson's picking up his walking stick. Down to the real business here.]

In more serious matters ... I believe I owe some of you a drink. I'm not a man to leave debts unpaid any longer than I can, so if you're free tonight, I'd be obliged if you'd join me.

Until then, Asgard.

[So guess who decided to spend the last couple of hours or so in the library? She doesn't know much about Asgard but she is slowly learning the difficulty of getting information without Juno or using a laptop. She is vaguely aware of what her power is but she knows that she needs to level up somehow thanks to her time in the library. If one can see clearly in the background, there's quite a few books stacked up behind her. However, there is something she wants to ask. Oh the joys of public speaking]

Um...I know this might seem rather random but I want to know...has everyone here ever lost their bracelets before? I-I was thinking that maybe...there is another way we could prevent that somehow? I'm not sure how but... [mumble mumble]

I wonder is it possible to make some extras lying around...

[Oh she has tried to figure out how...it's pretty difficult without some form of electricity and all the circuit work she's trying to do. Maybe there's some form of magical electricity]

Has anyone tried to make one before?

( VIDEO. )

[ when the feed clicks on, there's a young man — or a teenager, actually — in glasses with the strap of a rucksack slung loosely over one shoulder. he's looking a little sheepish, a little perplexed and somewhat awkward. awkward everywhere. finding himself in asgard, without possession of his super powers and being spoken to by a woman without a face isn't quite a thing he's used to. ]

So, uh— hey, I guess. [ he pauses. it's followed by a super awkward, super brief but slightly fuller smile. ] This isn't quite New York, huh? I was just— I was browsing, actually, and obviously I'm not the only person to find myself here out of the blue, but that doesn't really—. [ mean anything or explain anything; another pause and an audible exhale (sigh) because wow, this is awkward. ] Asgard, right? Does that mean anything to anyone? [ his expression flickers momentarily — something between incredulous, sceptical and quizzical; of course it doesn't. ] Beyond Norse myths and— Nah, never mind. That'd make things easy. Seriously, is there any way this can't be a kidnapping cliché?

[ there's a slightly longer pause this time, and peter's attention shifts away from the screen momentarily. ] Introducing myself would probably be good, right? Peter. [ beat. ] It's Peter. I don't think— if anyone recognises me, could you let me know? There was kind of a thing back home just before and — yeah. I don't think anyone I know is here, but just in case. [ there are alternate universes and temporal differences and — it could happen, okay. it could be a thing. he's not going to rule it out. in any respect.

he coughs — it's more of a clearing of his throat than anything else — and he hoists the strap of a rucksack up a little higher on his shoulder; a moment of consideration. ]
I, uh, I think that's everything. If it's not [ a quick smile and a loose shrug. ], I guess you'll be hearing from me again pretty soon.


( TEXT, one hour thirteen minutes later. anonymous. )

I've been reading back through the network so I won't bother with the half dozen questions everyone else asks when they arrive, but what I do want to ask is this:

is anyone here really buying the whole 'you're incompatible with this planet unless we genetically modify you to give you one of a pre-selected range of abilities based on some miscellaneous trait that has you placed as the subject of one of nine gods'?

Because I'm not. What I am believing is that they've been cultivating some really, really strong B and S for a few months now and I'm honestly amazed you're all still standing the smell of it.

So if anyone can enlighten me? Please, please do.
