003 [Video/Action]

[learninghumanity]

[Laura is walking through the now colourful land of Asgard. She looks less like someone who is appreciating the beauty of nature and more like a caged animal pacing.

She raises her communicator to give a panoramic view of a multi-hued area of the streets of Asgard, moving it around to prove her points.]

The gods cannot be relied on to keep their word. They will probably try to hold onto us for insurance.

[Pessimistic? Just a bit. But then, Laura has never been a ray of sunshine. It's not in her nature to see the bright side of life.]

There's still the war, too... it hasn't just been bringing colour back for awhile, has it?

[learninghumanity]

I do not know. But I think that we are just useful enough that the gods do not care when they send us home.

[whatagoodgirl]

It wouldn't surprise me. I stopped trusting them awhile ago, somewhere between the stabbings and the heads exploding.

[learninghumanity]

At first I thought they were unreliable, but now I think they are dishonest, too.

[whatagoodgirl]

They've been openly dishonest from the beginning. They brought us here under false pretenses, and Odin admitted as much. I've doubted them for awhile, but... I wanted to trust them. I didn't want to be left without authority figures.

Now it looks like we have to trust ourselves.

[learninghumanity]

It would be best to start getting organized, then.

There are a lot of people trying to plan things. Merlin has been working on training and emergency procedures, and so has Conan. And...

[Setting it to private, for all the good it'll do.]

I also know two people who want to start a resistance.

private

[learninghumanity]

I would be interested in helping. I have quite a bit of combat, tracking and reconaissance training.

private

[whatagoodgirl]

I would definitely contact Merlin, then... he's more focussed on training with the powers we have here, but I think we should have backup training in case those are taken from us, and he might be willing to arrange that as well.

If you're interested in the resistance, you can call Castiel or Sam Winchester. They're the two that I've talked to, and they've been through something like this before. I trust them.

[learninghumanity]

I can help with either. I once attended a school for people with powers.

private

[whatagoodgirl]

Really...? So there were powers like this in your world?

private

[learninghumanity]

Yes. There were superheroes, and there were people born with genetic mutations. I was not one of the teachers, but I am familiar with the idea of helping people to learn to control their abilities.

private

[whatagoodgirl]

Genetic mutations... [She knows the slightest bit about that, but didn't think they could create superpowers.] ... wow. You'll be helpful all around, then.

private

[learninghumanity]

I hope so.

[She prefers to feel useful.]
