asgardeventide | first ✭ VIDEO/ACTION

[ The video turns on, and a delighted-looking young girl in a flamboyant show outfit appears on the screen. She appears to be somewhere in Freya district, lions prowling in the background. ]

This bracelet is soooo prettyyyy! [ She jangles it back and forth, apparently jumping in place, shaking the screen. After a while, she composes herself. ] Asgard, right? I hadn't heard of an 'Asgard' before. It's kinda grey...could do with some razzle-dazzle!

But the lions are so adorable. I saw some people running away from them; are they always here? Silly-billies, you just need to know how to handle them. I'm Regina, by the way! If you need a lion-tamer, just call me and I'll be really, really happy to help! [ A giggle. ]

And if anyone's seen a circus in town, let me know. They'll be waiting for me. Moe's making stew for dinner, and you know what they say...it's stew-pendous.

[ She wanders around a bit more, looking more than a little lost and cooing at the lions, before the video flickers out of life. ]

You have your own tiger?! I thought those only lived in zoos or really far away places!

I've seen cats around back home, but.. um.. never a tiger!

They do usually, but we take care of him. In fact he's spoiled rotten! [ She giggles. ]

I love all types of cats, but especially big cats...

... Hmm, if you can keep tigers as pets.. Then I'm sure they can't be that dangerous. If they were, people would stay really, really far away from them!

He's not just a pet, he can do tricks and all sorts of cool things! But you have to know when to reward him when he's a good boy, and scold him when he's mean. That way, he doesn't become dangerous!

Do you have him here with you too? Maybe you could show him off to everyone, make him do some tricks..! I think people would like to see that, and then they can learn they're not dangerous at all!

No...he must be back at the circus. At home. [ She pauses. ] Will I be able to see him again?

Y-- yeah! [ despite the girl being much older than her, Nanako seems to try and cheer her up all the same.. ]

When you go home, you'll see him.. Don't worry, I'm sure!

Alright! [ She instantly perks up. ] Then I'll have a fun time in Asgard, and when that's over I can go home and see Regent and the others! I'm so glad!

What's your name? Do you wanna go home, or have fun?

Um, I'm Nanako, nice to meet you.. Nanako Dojima.

And.. I'm okay with it either way. I'd like to go back home and see dad again, but.. the people here are nice too. And I don't want people to get left behind..

Nanako. Okay, I'll remember it.

Yeah, so far, the people here are real friendly! I hope everyone can go home together, hand in hand and smiling and happy!

Oh.. I think that would be really nice too! [ her entire face is lighting up at the very thought. ]

Can we hold hands too when that happens? I-- I mean.. [ her shy side kicks in, just a little. ] If that's okay..

Wouldn't it be the bestest? We can all hold hands, even though it'd be a long line...

Of course! You can stand next to me, Nanako!

[ She giggles happily. ]

It's a promise, then! And.. we'll make everyone hold hands and be happy for sure when that happens..!

Promise! I'm sure that soon, we'll all be able to hold hands and walk into the sunset...but until then, let's have lots of fun in Asgard, 'kay?

Yes! Since there's lots of fun things to do here as well.. There's even video games, I've already played some of those with people! There was one about conquering the whole world!
