[The video opens to a tired, very surly looking Professor Snape. He's lost weight since the last time he appeared on the network with an announcement addressed to the Travellers; his sallow face is thinner, the bags under his eyes are more pronounced, and he looks like he's aged a good few years. This city is truly starting to take a toll on him.

He's in his school office, at his desk. When he speaks, he's curt, churlish and absolutely no-nonsense.]


For those of you who are new to Asgard, or for those of you who failed to pay a modicum of attention to the previous announcements I made concerning the matter in which I'm about to address, my name is Professor Snape and I am the Headmaster of the Albus Dumbledore Academy, a school of education and tutelage, which I have established in Odin district.

The school is open for anyone eighteen years and under who wishes to pursue an education, be that in mathematics, literature, science, or any other number of subjects on offer.

Enrollment and attendance to my school is voluntary; however, should you so choose to undertake an education, allow me to make it very clear that I do not tolerate tardiness, disrespect, insolent behaviour or acts of misdemeanour. Any student who chooses to commit any such offences will be reprimanded severely. [Severus is looking straight at you, Mr. Stilinski.]

Of course, I am always in need of assistance with regards to the running and upkeep of the school, be that teachers, tutors or those who may be able to offer assistance in other ways. If you possess any useful skills that you feel would benefit the Albus Dumbledore Academy, I invite you to step forward and make yourself known.

Direct any queries or concerns to either myself or to my secretary, Miss Gallagher.

whats up assguards important question 4 u all

so today is officially the 366th day of me being here in the city
meaning ive been here 1 year in earth time
but in asgard time i came here at the end of year 415 + now we just stumbled into 418
so my question is what time do u use when talking about days and months etc here do you still use whatever you did at home or do you do it the asgard way

(this is me working out if i should be calling myself 17 or like 19 by now btw)
(it makes a difference!! :3)
(tho i guess using asgard years means you have to add them in retroactively too)
(meaning i would be 34 now F THAT)

how many others have been here over a year anyway

p.s. i feel like doing something fun anyone wanna go out

Hey, guys, it's Naegi.

Just giving a quick head's up that I don't live in Sigyn's Welcome House anymore. I've just finished moving into the Loki District, so I'm in apartment 107. Kirigiri-san is also moving in with me, so if anyone is looking for her, that's where she'll be.


[ A teenaged boy and girl moving in together? That's certainly not anything at all. Really, they're just close friends...!! But onto the main point of this text... ]

Besides that, though. Is anyone interested in having a flower shop around?

I've gotten really good at my powers, so I want to put them into good use. Though to be honest, I don't really know a lot about how to arrange flowers or anything... But I can grow them and other plants. I can also grow fruits and vegetables to sell as well. But how hard is it to open up a store here? I also need to think of a name to give the store...

But if anyone's interested in working with me, we can arrange something too! Let me know. :)


[ And that's the end of that! ]

I suppose this is a question that has been asked before, but not in my (admittedly brief) time here. I apologise if it's a subject that comes up entirely too often, but it's one that I've been curious about for quite some time now. It's also a delicate topic, I know, so feel free to reply privately if you feel uncomfortable talking about it. Or don't reply at all. That's fine, too.

[It's certainly a difficult subject for her to talk about at times. That's why this is in text, rather than voice or video. But getting to the point...]

Who among the Travellers is dead back home? Not in some nebulous future 'everyone dies eventually' sort of way, but something rather more immediate, in that you died just before coming here. What do you expect will happen when you leave Asgard? Do deceased Travellers simply return to being deceased? Is there some sort of afterlife in your world?

[She remembers all too well Owen and Suzie mentioning the darkness that's all that exists after death. It's something that's kept her up at night more than a few times.]

I don't ask this for the sake of any sort of theological debate, mind, but out of curiosity. I don't personally subscribe to any particular system of belief, but I respect those held by others. I just want to know what you think will happen.

[Those checking their bracelets today will be welcomed with the image of Ryoji's smiling face. He's not at Hel, actually, but walking through the city, clearly unconcerned with how many passers-by may find him strange, babbling so excitedly to his bracelet.]

Hello there! I haven't really used this in a while, have I?

[He responds to posts, but never really saw a reason to make posts of his own.]

So I just got a new job working with Souji-kun and the others. It's a lot of fun, but it needed something else a little bit exciting... I hope no one minds that I've set up my own booth as well!

You'll have to come down to see what it is I'm offering, but while I'm here, I thought I'd ask a question...

[Ryoji grins mischievously.]

You of course don't have to answer, but should you feel like sharing... I want to know what your first kiss was like! Was it with a boy? A girl? Were there fireworks like in all the movies? I really hope everyone had a very romantic and memorable experience. Kisses make people feel happy, after all, and I love seeing people happy!

[...Yeah, it's really a mystery what his bright idea for a booth was.]

((OOC: Should anyone want to see his kissing booth, feel free to tag him here and mark it so I know if you want him to have the booth completed or not. I'd assume it should be up by Day 416.))

[ she had left merlin to deal with the things her brother had managed, had gone to the citadel once and then again to look around and try to think what she might do with the place. the woman of asgard were not village women, they were warriors in part. but in part, they were ladies and learned-women. if she can teach them to fight then why not.

but the longer she sits in her room and thinks of it the more something begins to form in her mind and by the time it finally sets in, she knows what she must do. she ought to address the city formally and yet she thinks they might see (the lines of worry, the signs of heartbreak); and so so conceals the pain behind a text. ]


People of Asgard, I hope this finds you well.

I will not speak to you of the departure of my brother, for Merlin had spoken of it and has addressed all that must have been addressed. I do not come to you with offers of employment nor with announcements of any sorts for I know you have heard those already.

I come to you as my brother's sister and the last Pendragon to still linger within the borders of Asgard. We were three once, you might remember. There was the king, my brother Arthur who was King of Camelot after him and myself.

My brother held no formal alliances in this land, he had no sworn knights that I know of, no wards that I heard word of. Yet I know, as I have known Arthur for many years, that he has sought to help all those he met and in doing so, I am certain he had aided many in the city. There are many who would miss him nearly as much as I.

For those who my brother had sought to help, for those he held in his favor, I offer the same. I cannot retrieve my brother from his duties in Camelot. I can, however, as the last Pendragon in Asgard, keep true to his efforts and offer my favor to all those he had before his departure. If you require my aid, my comfort or my favor, you may address me and I shall do my best to offer you the same my brother would have. I know he would have wanted as much, I do not mean to fail him.


I would be very grateful if you shall seek me if the need arises. I can be found in the Citadel or at Thor District. If the Gods of Asgard are reading these words; on behalf of my brother, I offer sympathies for the slumber of Odin and I offer my aid to Thor who now rules in his place.

Morgana of house Pendragon;
Lady of Camelot
