[Guess who's back? Backs again? John is back....and he's clearly very confused, tell a friend. He's seated in front of Thor, reluctant to go in until he know more about just what the hell is going on.]

Okay, obviously I've been missing for a while, but...

[He trails off with a frustrated sigh. He runs a hand through his hair, scanning the street in front of him. Something's different, he knows it.]

Did the war happen while I was gone?

[ It has been a while, a long while since she had shown her face on the network. Mainly because she had nothing to speak about. Today she is in the library, a stack of books near her elbow while she is quite lost in the writings of Machiavelli. ]

Better to be feared than love, if one cannot be both.

[ A crooked little grin as moves to sit up. ]

If there is one book in this library the Nine must have read. I am not inclined to name them Gods. Such had been a mistake to begin with.

[ Gods create and destroy. These Gods have not created anything as much as she's concerned and even destruction comes from the outside and not from them. ]

Eight, now. Unless Freya shall succeed in her mission, wherever she might be. Perhaps that shall be the first creation truly seen here.

[ to create life from nothing. Lord knows where Freyr is. ]

And yet while their kin is searching for he whom she lost, the others celebrate, if to judge by the pretty lights.

[ a smile. ]

I hope this finds you well, Asgard. A last question if I may - I have read Lord Machiavelli's words yet I will have your own.

Do you believe lies bear a color? Black, grey. Some would say, white.

[ she inclines her head, a farewell greeting. ]

Perhaps a walk in the city would do. The lights are pretty.

[ She will be found in the library, for those who wish to find her. For now. It is time for some filters. ]

[ When the video flips on, it is to Altaïr barely masking his disdain. ]

It would seem that these bracelets are a necessary trinket.

I have been... absent, for some time. What little I remember, the outcome of Asgard's battle looked bleak. It seems that this was overcome. What else have I missed?

[Scrolling along the streets of Asgard you’ll find a small boy is…committing acts of vandalism? Well he is certainly painting a weird circle shaped design on the wall of that build over there. The design is made up of bunch of symbols, it looks harmless though but who knows with the weird things this city throws at you.]

There that should be the last one. [He certainly looks pleased with himself as he finishes up his work. He closes a jar of weird looking black paint put it and his brush into a large rucksack. Just as he about to leave the design suddenly flashes white and then begins to glow going from white to blue to gold. Now this situation has gone from odd to freaky. Not that the kid is even paying any attention to this and he'll head off on his way if you don't stop him.]
