( the message that appears on the network might be familiar to some. the red text has been popping up lately all over the place, commenting, sharing opinions. always anonymous, always red. whoever it was, they couldn't be goaded into revealing who they were, and they didn't seem to be bothered by the lack of trust by the general populace. quite the contrary - perhaps they were used to it. )

good job. it was a nice piece of work, the fighting that was done.
but, we were unprepared. too many casualties that didn't need to happen on our part.

this is just the beginning.



action;
( if anyone happens to be strolling by the arena, they might notice a woman inside the empty coliseum, sparring (it seems) with herself. she's fast and strong, using knives to cut down wooden practice dummies as if they were nothing, gymnastic feats giving her no trouble either. it can't be very satisfying, sparring with yourself, but for natasha, it was the only way to keep in top shape -- and she didn't want to advertise for a suitable partner.

tossing a knife into what would be the "eye" of another dummy, she rolled across the dirt ground to retrieve it, jumping into a back flip and then settling on her haunches, hand on the ground. time to rest. for a moment. )

Okay, so. That went. Well, I guess. And it's good to know that death doesn't seem to be a problem if we die fighting this frakking war. I don't think it's quite the same as the cylons, but death not being permanent is still....frakking creepy if you ask me. But welcome back to those we lost? Sounds like everyone is back now.

Anyway, I figured out which power I have. Flight. Pretty fitting I guess, since I was a pilot back home. It will take a bit more practice to really get the hang of it, without being in a viper, but it's good to know what power I have now.

Arya, you okay, kid? I got a small handgun for you. We can set up targets for you to practice, if you really do want to learn to use it. It's nothing too big or fancy, but I'm not sure you would want anything much bigger than this, especially with recoil. And if anyone is wanting to complain to me about this, I don't give a frak. She asked me to teach her. I didn't force her or tell her she should learn. And she already knows how to use other weapons.

I was going to consider asking what might happen once this is all over, for those who were dead back home, but I see someone else already beat me to that, so I won't go into that.

[Asgard has been good to him. It gave him Sasuke for starters, and already things are-- sort of edging back to how he thinks they should be.

Of course, there are a few things bothering him.

What better way to hash them out than to declare his feelings to the entire world?]


So these powers suck? I mean, how Sasuke gets to control people's bodies while I'm like--

[He can't say it. Energy Transfer sucks.]

Yeah, well I wanna have a word with a bunch of people and see how I'm supposed to change 'em. That girl that can heal now - she did it.

AND! [Look, it must be important, he's pointing at the feed there.]

There's gotta be a place that sells ramen around here. Anyone wanna go?
