01 ✽ video & action for the THOR HOUSE

[blossomgale]

...bel. Asbel?

[ A young girl around the age of fourteen with purple hair tied up into pigtails appears on the video feed, peering worriedly into the screen. She got the part about the ring that it was some kind of communication device, but how to actually use it was another story. What is this, some kind of Amarcian technology? She managed to at least bring up the holographic screen with a few pokes and record herself. She hasn't a clue that it's recording properly. ]

Where... are you...? Can you hear me?

[ She brings up the letter and map that the maid handed to her when she arrived. She struggles to read it: ]

You have been... cho... to...

[ She trails off into silence, then starts struggling to read it again. Asbel only taught her how to read simple words. ]

You... be...

...

I can't... I can't read it...

[blossomgale]

I've never heard of him.

[ Or maybe not...? Maybe later down the road. ]

voice

[playerkills]

He's not very popular, it's true. But I heard Thor was a strong god.

voice 1/2

[blossomgale]

I get it! That must be why the maid said my power was strength.

voice

[blossomgale]

...

Then if my power is strength, then is your power tricking people?

voice

[playerkills]

[ Damn. ]

You're smart. That's partly correct. While Thor deals with physical strength, Loki grants powers pertaining to the mind.

voice

[blossomgale]

...

Are you doing mind tricks on me?

voice

[playerkills]

No, that's absurd. [ Yes, that's what's happening. ]

voice

[blossomgale]

...You seem like a suspicious person. Asbel told me not to talk to suspicious people.

voice

[playerkills]

Asbel isn't your mother so it should be fine, right?

voice

[blossomgale]

Asbel can't be a mother. He's a boy.

voice

[playerkills]

That's too bad. He's one already.

voice

[blossomgale]

He's my friend and always does his best to protect everyone.

voice

[playerkills]

[ OH NO IT'S THE F-WORD. ]

Friend, is he? Tch, I see. So you're that kind of person...

voice

[blossomgale]

Huh? What kind of person am I?

voice

[playerkills]

Isn't it obvious? A normal.

voice

[blossomgale]

A normal? [ A normal human is that what you mean... ] No, not really. I look like a normal human, but I'm not.

voice

[playerkills]

[ okay man it's either this girl's cocky or extremely weird. ] Is that so? What makes you so special, then?

voice

[blossomgale]

I can't grow up like everyone else. [ And all sorts of other things, but being unable to grow up is just what crosses her mind right now. ] I don't know... if that's really "special" though.

voice

[playerkills]

No, that's very special. I think you need to get that checked.

voice

[blossomgale]

Why do you think it's special? Everyone else gets to grow up, but I continue to look the same. I want to grow up with everyone too.

voice

[playerkills]

Of course I meant "special" as a bad thing. I mean...

Don't you... feel lonely?

voice

[blossomgale]

[ She takes most words literally. ] Lonely? [ It hasn't occurred to her that all her human friends will leave her someday, so she just shakes her head. ]

I have Asbel... and many friends back home. They're not here right now, but I'll go back to them after helping this world.

voice

[playerkills]

Help this world? How can you be so sure they'll send us back? No, how long do you think this war will even last?

voice

[blossomgale]

This is a war? [ The letter said nothing about that!! ]

voice

[playerkills]

The gods need our help to fight a war. Ragnarok - the Twilight of the Gods. Do these legends exist in your world?
