( Text - Option A )

Naegi here. Sorry for disappearing... I lost my bracelet and I apparently greyed out... so I'm pretty behind on things. I'm still interested in setting up a flower and little produce shop! I just need to get around to it, now that I'm back... So if anyone still wants to run it with me, just let me know! :)

If anyone can also catch me up on what has happened since, well, two weeks ago, that'll be really nice.

( Video - Option B )

[ Some hours after sending out that text and being home... Naegi comes on video, in just an plain white undershirt, and not in his usually seen hoodie (gasp!). What could have happened to separate this poor boy from it?! Let's find out. ]

U-Um, I know it's weird to ask, but while I was gone, did it become normal for hoodies to disappear? Every single time I try to put one on, it just vanishes. I've kind of run out of tops to wear now, because of it.

I've even tried making hoodies with my powers, but those disappear too!

[ Pulling up a nice hoodie that he made out of leaves and vines (what a productive way of using his growing powers...), putting it on, and poof! It magically just disappears. Naegi has a pretty much defeated look on his face... ]

See? I lost my favourite one with this, and I really want to get it back, so does anyone know where they all go, or how to make this stop? I'm feeling kind of naked without any...

[ And with that defeated look, turning that off... ]

(( ooc; Naegi is struck with a curse where all of his hoodies will disappear for a day or two! Feel free to tag twice if you want to reply to both options! Tags will be slow, but will certainly backtag! ))

Well, well, hello there. [There's a blindingly bright and charming smile aimed at the bracelet and it looks almost as if he's trying to flirt with it. Which he is, to be fair. Take it all in, ladies and gentlemen, that's Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile you're now looking at. You lucky people. Seriously though, guys, one at a time please. We don't need another disaster.] Isn't this place a peculiar thing? Not in a bad way, of course, I have to say I'm rather impressed. It's got a certain quaint muggle-ish charm to it.

And really, it's so kind of you to invite me here for a stay but while I do appreciate your dedication and desire for my company, I can't say I'm eager to remain. It's not you, really! It's me. Like I said before, it's a rather lovely little oddity, this 'Azgard'. I just have other places to be. I'm sure you understand?

[It's all said in a light tone, trying to stay kind and flattering, though with a strange hint of sympathy. In fact, it kind of sounds like Gilderoy is attempting to gently break up with Asgard. But then, to be fair, one is reminded of a sad desperate ex that won't let him go -- he's sure he dated a girl a little like Asgard way back when actually. She tried to lock him in her house once...

Mock if you will, the similarities are all there. Thought at least she never tried to drown him in a biblical storm.]

Sometimes, we must all take different paths in life. And while I have loved my time here, I feel it's now time to move on. Lots to do, plenty to see. But I'm sure I can do something for you all before I leave. Perhaps sign your guest book? If you have one. I know that'd be a treat for the fans.

[He assumes he has fans here. He has them everywhere else, why not in a strange world of Norse Gods? If it doesn't then, well, that will have to change before he goes. Living in a world without Gilderoy Lockhart? You poor underprivileged people. How do you function?]

I do feel bad for not being able to assist in the war but without my wand, I'm afraid there's little I can do for you anyway. Maybe if you'd allow me to leave and return later by my own accord, I'd be a better asset. Just something to keep in mind, hmm? Yes. Good.

Um. I've been thinking about this for a while and....I'd like to get better at fighting. I know I have my pistol, but that isn't always going to be enough. I want to be able to help. Especially if the giants or something manage to get into the clinic where I'd usually be when things get crazy. But with Lee here and his arm.....I want to make sure I have options. That I can defend him and myself if necessary.

To that end, I know of the Citadel. And Ellie? I know you have some skills. If you're up for teaching me, I mean. I wouldn't mind learning to use a knife and a bow and arrow. I'm pretty good with improvising with things, but I'd like to get a bit better if I can. Healing is great, but I can't do shit against the giants with it to hurt them like some of the other powers.

[Yes, that was a swear. In public. From the girl who used to keep a swear jar she constantly had Ellie put coins into. Evidently, she no longer has such a big issue over such language.]

I can't let Lee get hurt. He obviously won't be able to fight the same as he did back home, even if he does have fire powers from Odin. Because that will totally be effective against the Fire Giants.....

Anyway. Yeah. Weapons, training. Even just general self defense would be great. Just more to help me against the Giants.

[To help her protect Lee and keep him alive here in Asgard. She can't lose him again. And no, she isn't bothering to filter this from Eight or Lee.]
