asgardeventide | first minute [Voice/Video]

[There's the sound of fumbling as someone seems to be trying to get the braclet to work- however, the video function doesn't turn on yet, and all you can hear is the voice of a man.]

Huh, some sort of screen. Er, no no no, wait, I shouldn't get distracted by this. Please, miss maid, there must be some mistake! I can't stay here.

[The man sounds almost manic and rather worried. Looks like someone is not taking this new place very well.]

I'm on the lookout for this murderer, you see, and if I don't get back, he's going to kill my brethern! I can't let that happen. And really, tell Mr. Heimdall that despite what he calls himself, he is not the god I work for. And I know, because, well, God created me.

[The maid responds patiently in a level tone.] You have been brought here to bring life to the world.

Okay, yes. I realize that! Please, you've got the wrong person. Can't I just go home, maybe, and fix what's going on there and then come back here? And why in the world did you take my wings? I feel so normal without them.

You cannot return home. It is impossible. Here is the door to the Welcome Hall, sir.

[The man lets out a frustrated sigh, and suddenly, with a click, the video function turns on, revealing a strange-looking fellow with short red hair and...clocks for eyes??]

Wait a second, what did this button on the screen do? Hello? Anyone out there? It seems to be recording me...well, that's ingenious, actually.

No, stop it, Cheriour, you can't be distracted! Oh dear, I have to get back...I can't stay here. Not at all. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear...

Well— [aiyoo dude you are off the info train] No, Heimdall's just a metaphor. Kind of. You can't actually talk to him, his name is just on the hall and stuff.

[He just arrived, it's to be expected. 8I]

...Well, that's inconvenient. Is there anyone in charge I can talk to?

Not that I know of. I mean, the maids'll give you the basics, but after that... the head honchos are kind of inaccessible, if you know what I mean.

[basically we are all screwed :X]

But hey, you're in Heimdall? Cool, me too. I'm Seth.

Oh.

[He sounds disappointed. All his brothers getting killed back home and he can't do a thing about it. A sigh.]

Ah, the same house? A pleasure, Seth, I'm Cheriour, angel of the Lord.

Whoa, cool. [he's not... religious... at all lmfao but still cool!!] You got your powers taken away too, huh? Like your wings and stuff?

[A nod.] Yes. No wings, can't teleport, can't bring forth holy fire...nothing. It's all gone.

You had powers, too?

Eh, just some kind of shapeshifting stuff. [yeah... yeah.] Not like holy fire or whatever. That sounds pretty cool.

Shapeshifting? Huh. never met anyone who could shapeshift. Shapeshift into what?

[A shrug.] I guess it is pretty "cool", I guess. Normal if you're an angel, though.

Well yeah... turning into a giant wolf is normal for me but it still scares the shit out of people when they're not expecting it. [wait a second are you allowed to swear in front of angels] Uh, pardon my language.

A giant wolf? Isn't that like- erm, what were they called- werewolves? But werewolves are the stuff of tales.

[A nod. He's okay with it as long people don't force him to swear.] You are pardoned.

[ah... the w-word again.]

Kinda. Not really. Most people think of "werewolves" as like... when the full moon hits they turn into some rabid wolfmonster and kill everything in their path, and that's not what I do. [he will have to correct this general assumption at some point!] I can just turn into a big wolf whenever I feel like it. —Or I could back home, anyway.

Oh! That's good. Because I would have not been fine with the killing thing at all.

But that's interesting. Is it magical in origin? Your power, I mean.

Well, I mean, there's probably a scientific explanation... maybe... [lol or maybe not so much.] But the tribe legend is that the K'wa'ti turned two wolves into the first two Quileute tribe members, and ever since our tribe has been able to phase.

Oh, a legend? That sounds like it could be magic. Or, as you say, scientific. But it's very interesting, I've never heard of such a case back home. You're very unique in my eyes.

A lot of our legends probably seem magical to hókᵂať. [shrugs. he grew up with these things, mang, they're totally normal to him!] Uh—that is, non-natives.

Well, aren't all legends somewhat magical, in a way? But yes, I completely understand why people would think that.

I guess... kinda depends on how you think of magic, right? Like most people think of magic as totally illogical and impossible things that like... wizards do, or whatever. But as far as we're concerned, all our legends are true.

Oh, magic exists, in a way. Miracles are magical, for example.

And the legends of my brethern are true back home, too, even though most people don't believe in our existence.

Yeah, that's what I mean. But if you're like, "Hey, my existence is magical!" to a random person, they'd probably just laugh at you. Or at me, since I guess you kind of have the wings and the smiting to back you up.

Alas, not here. And technically, I'm not supposed to reveal my existence so arbitrarily. But here is an exception because I guess I'm not really an "angel" anymore.

Yeah, me neither. I'd probably be in big trouble with Sam if he knew... [LMFAO GODDAMMIT HE JUST GAVE ANOTHER THING AWAY] But I figure, kidnapped to an alternate dimension, kinda got a little more leeway on these things.

...

Wait, this is an alternate dimension? I thought this was another world...or are those the same things?

Well... I don't know the specifics. [relative physics is like the last thing that seth is good at tbh] Does it really matter? I mean, we still got kidnapped...

Yes, that's true. [A sigh.] They really picked me at a horrible time...

You're telling me, man. I'm supposed to be preparing for some kind of final showdown thing.
