first ❧ video / action for heimdall

[integrous]

Come on.. I was waiting for it, but.. why isn't anyone speaking up about this?!

[ Congratulations, Asgard, you now have the addition of one fierce redhead newcomer - or rather, a loudmouth, considering how she's practically yelling at the bracelet without seeming to show much shame over doing so. She isn't entirely angry though, even if that's more obvious, but there's something almost.. nervous about the way she speaks too, as if she still can't completely grasp the situation. ]

This is practically nothing more than a kidnapping case, isn't it?! 'You have been chosen', don't make me laugh..! And they can just do that to us, like it's something normal? They can't just get away with something like that, it's wrong! This is the kind of thing you're supposed to call the cops over, or at least do something--

[ The girl halts mid-sentence because.. well, yes, she doesn't know what to do either right now, especially not while she's still caught up in the surprise. At least it seems to calm her down a bit more, even if she still seems dissatisfied. ]

... There's got to be at least someone who can give some more answers, right? Or maybe it's all some weird dream..

[ People from Heimdall are also free to see the newcomer yell at her bracelet in person and all. ]

Yes, the maids aren't very helpful, unfortunately. I had to have everything explained to me by someone else from my own world. But I know probably not everyone who comes here is lucky enough to have someone like that.

[integrous]

Hehe, actually, I just discovered there's two guys who I knew from my school here.. we're friends, so I'll be fine. [ well.. sort of friends. friends. ]

Must be pretty weird to be stuck here on your own though! At least it counts for neither of us.

[sparkling_eyes]

Oh, that's good. It makes it a lot easier to adjust to being somewhere unfamiliar.

[integrous]

It's not just being stuck somewhere unfamiliar though, it's practically being kidnapped! That's the horrible part about it, if we all just randomly got lost it would be one thing, but..

[sparkling_eyes]

I agree, but there doesn't seem to be much we can do about it except to help out with the gods' war.

[integrous]

Huh? A war? [ she blinks a few times. ]

The letter said nothing about that, just about restoring color to the city or something like that..!

[sparkling_eyes]

I think we're supposed to be doing both.

[integrous]

Forcing more and more things on all of us.. Geez, who do these gods think they are?!

[sparkling_eyes]

I know, it's not fair of them to ask so much of us. But I've heard if they lose their war here, it's not only this world that will be destroyed.

[integrous]

... W-wait.. What'll happen if they lose their war then?

[sparkling_eyes]

The destruction of all worlds.

[integrous]

[ .. give her a moment. ]

B-- but that's not possible! I mean, you'd normally only see that kind of thing in movies!

[sparkling_eyes]

Well, they are gods, after all. Their war probably is pretty important.

[integrous]

But why are they dragging us of all people into a war then? Sure, I can fight, but not like some sort of soldier.. They easily could've brought one of those to this place instead!

[sparkling_eyes]

I think it's more than just fighting. To win the war, they also need to bring color back to the world. I don't know exactly what that means, but I'm sure they'll need more than just soldiers and people who can fight. Winning a war takes lots of different kinds of people, after all. You need cooks to feed the soldiers, a tactician to plan the army's strategy, investigators and reporters to keep people informed and sway public opinion in your favor... well, you get the idea, I'm sure. I really believe that everyone who's been brought here has some talent the gods think will be useful.

[integrous]

[ Huh.. Yeah, she understands, but it still seems like this person sure knows a lot about it. ]

That's true.. But I have no clue what they think my talent is, really. [ In fact, they took her only talent from her.. ]

[sparkling_eyes]

I don't know either. You'd think they would be more forthcoming with that kind of information if we're supposed to be helping them.

[integrous]

They're pretty lousy kidnappers either way. They want us to help out with something yet don't tell us anything about it.. it's probably just to cover up their true motives.

[sparkling_eyes]

I've considered that too. Unfortunately, we don't seem to have much choice in the matter.
