So t'save myself a thousand more questions streaming over th'Network, I'm gonna tell you lot what happened in as simple terms as possible.

[ Because hearing it asked over and over is starting to make her ill. ]

Thiazi happened. Somehow, she got her influence over everyone who stayed behind, givin' us nightmares and twisting our minds. The lot of us had these... fugue states, where bad things happened. Just little things. Property damage, mostly.

But there were a few of us-- they got it worse. Like full blown cancer to our spring fever. People were hurt, people died; natives and travelers.

I'm not givin' any names, so don't ask. Anyone who got it that bad's been cleansed of that Frost B-- ...Thiazi's influence.

And I'd eat the apples. They clear up any lingering effects for th'rest of us.

Okay, so we all did some pretty awful stuff this past week. Just remember what that one stuffy god said. It wasn't our fault. I don't know about you, but if that Ice Queen wants to fight dirty to win this war, I don't want to let her get to me.

[She might not be able to convince everyone that she's unaffected by what happened, but she can try. Just look at how determined and forceful she is in her cheerfulness.]

What we need is something to take our mind off all this, and I think I've got just the thing. Back home, whenever some disaster happens, we have charity events to help out. The city's still recovering from that first ice attack, and a lot of businesses around here need help rebuilding.

That's why... [Drum roll, please. Yes, there's actually a radio playing that drum roll mp3 somewhere behind her. What, don't look at her like that!] We're going to have a date auction!

We can take volunteers and nominations from friends, and all proceeds will go to the Rebuilding Asgard Fund. Just let me know if your shop needs some funds and I can mark you down!

(ooc: You can find the sign ups right here!)

[A sigh is heard at the "other side", and almost immediately afterwards the screen shows the face of a young woman with light blue hair who shyly nods at the bracelet "projecting" her image to whoever is using the network. Behind her it's easy to see... well, quite a mess: blood, dirt, disorder, graffiti on the walls, and many other things that are unpleasant in the eyes.

It takes her a bit to speak, and when she does, it's with a rather soft voice.]

I'm sorry. I don't know all the details of what took place, but... had I known that something like this would happen in Asgard, I wouldn't have left...

[She pauses again and smiles weakly, trying to calm down. It won't be good if she starts crying on screen, they surely have had enough of tears and sadness.]

My name is Ninian, I'm a healer, and if there's something I can do to help any of you, please tell me... I can be found at Sigyn House. And if we have spoken previously, contact me as well, I want to know how are you holding up now...

[She rarely speaks this much, and it likely shows.] ... Thanks for your understanding.

[ Well, while everyone who came back from the trip is worried about what the heck happened in Asgard, Kaworu isn't focused on that.

When the video starts Kaworu is sitting in the middle of an empty apartment in Loki's district. It's a bit dark and his hands are resting on his lap, so you can't really see his face well but you can see small drops of water falling down his jawline (tears, yes. Kaworu can cry, yes).

Though he is crying, his voice isn't shaky when he speaks. Instead, it's soft and also gentle. Almost glad, though very sad as well. ]

Allen Walker left Asgard.

[ that's all he will say, without looking at the bracelet. His fingers reach for it and he eventually turns the video off. ]

[There's silence for a long moment before Alice can find her voice.]

There's a good deal of b-blood.

[She takes a deep breath, her voice shook on that last word.]

So...

[So taking a page out of Jack and the Tardis' book, there's a clinking.]

Marigold and I are going to paint and clean up the graffiti a-and everything. [She almost said blood again but refrained. She doesn't know what else to do. She doesn't know how else to help except in a way she knows best.]

Would... anyone else like to help? I-If not that's perfectly fine.

It hasn't even been a day since other travelers from Vanahiem and yet, there will be so many children affected by it. Just the sight of this... this mess is enough. I do not particularly like to give out "warnings" - although to call it a "warning" would be kind.

No.

Anyone can claim they care and help others, however, in some cases, that isn't necessarily the case. Doctors, nurses, and proprietors of orphanages. I have seen and known first hand they are not always who they say they are. I care not if I am too hostile, so let it be known and only known once.

If anyone here so much lays a hand on the children in a not-so kind manner.

[Hi, vorpal blade, how you doing? Just the glisten of it hits Alice's green eyes in a very off-putting matter.]

You will be dealing with me. Especially if you happen to mouth off to a young Alice. Do I make myself clear?


[ooc; I want to apologize for the slow responses ;o;!]
