How many of you knew of an "Asgard" before arriving here? Be it a place, a land, a person, a book, an animal race or something else. Fictional or real both apply.

To rephrase: Did the word "Asgard" exist and mean anything in your world, and if yes, what? Or did you encounter it first after being drafted to this place?

[Testing the waters and theories.]

They are an additional presence. [And you can hug them without it being a big deal. He has always associated mothers, or motherly types, with hugs. At least that is true for the women in his life.]

[whatagoodgirl]

Yeah... that's true. We never had pets. I used to ask for one, but when I got old enough to understand the money and time it would take, I understood why we couldn't.

[white_raven]

They were herding dogs, no money wasted. I didn't grow up in a city.

[whatagoodgirl]

Herding? So you had livestock, too?

[white_raven]

Sheep. I'm from the Welsh countryside, there aren't too many other options. [Mining, though that has gone down a lot, and things that pertain to the sea - and then moving into the big cities, Tywyn or further away. Bits of farming, and the additional third sector works that come with humans being around.]

[whatagoodgirl]

Welsh? I'm afraid I don't know where that is. [Apologetically.] I'm Japanese, and only in seventh grade, so I haven't taken a lot of geography.

[white_raven]

In the United Kindom. Europe. ..next to England.

[whatagoodgirl]

Oh, okay! I can sort of picture where it is now. Thanks.

[white_raven]

...You had never been away from home before coming to that camp?

[whatagoodgirl]

No, not really. [A pause.] Is that weird?

[white_raven]

To most people, it would be I think.

[Bran himself has been away from home, but not in the usual vacation/etc way. It wasn't a change of place, more a change of time.]
