♫ .//. 1st Song .//. Freyr District [ V I D E O ]

[ Oh this one is easy to figure out. You have a new arrival making a video post from somewhere near Freyr house, hoping to reach whatever Powers That Be in this place or the ones back in her own world. Yes, she might get responses from other "residents", but she's sure as hell going to try anyway.

Her expression is deceptively neutral, contrary to the surprise of it all ~~maybe she should be, but she's not MAD about any of this~~. ]

So let me make sure I've got this straight. I-- we've --been taken from our homes and brought to this... [ A glance around, just to be sure that she's still seeing things. She returns her view to the camera with an uncertain smile. ] ... place, to bring color back to the world? I'm still unconvinced this isn't just a crazy fever dream. I mean, where are Dorothy and Toto, right?. There's no other LOGICAL explanation. So, okay! Consider my lesson learned!

[ Wait, just a moment. She's taking the bracelet off to put on the next best solid surface, and when she steps back her right hand goes over her heart and the left hand goes up in a universal pledge or swear pose. She even closes her eyes. ] No more staying up all night watching Netflix, and definitely NO more pineapple pizza after one in the morning. Can I go home now, please? [ A pause, an inquisitive rise in pitch as she peeks one eye open. ] ... No?

[ Sigh. Hands both drop dejectedly back to her lap as her shoulders slump a little. ] Alright. You can't blame a girl for trying.

On the bright side it doesn't seem like life here will be all that bad, or even boring, at the very least. Dream or not, it'll be pretty interesting to get to talk to everyone. So to my new housemates at Freyr-- [ She offers a little lopsided grin, then winks. ] Nice to meet you. I'll see you around. [ And then she ends the feed.

Tony will just be wandering around if anyone wants to tag her for action. ]

[Have a pair of bright purple eyes staring into the "camera", squinting.]

What's a netflix?

[ They're an absolutely lovely color, if she does say so herself. Curious. ]

Where I'm from it's a program that lets you watch any television show or movie that you want, through a computer, smartphone, or game console.

Oh.

[She'll pretend she knows what the heck you're talking about.]

Is it really that fun that you'll miss it here?

[She grasps the concept of missing a person, not a thing.]

Oh, I'm not worried about missing that. I mean, maybe eventually I will, but it's not a big deal. I was just kind of joking around, you know, maybe this would all turn out to be some dream from watching too much TV or something.

[Anemone frowns.]

Being melodramatic isn't cute.

[You should take lessons of cuteness from her. Yes.]

[ And she quirks an eyebrow. ]

I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say...

So? What were you trying to say?

That if this really IS a crazy dream it's my own fault for watching too much TV, and eating junk food right before bed, and I promised not to do it anymore. Seems like a moot point since I'm pretty sure this is for real.

It's pretty obvious it's real, isn't it?

I guess. I'm not really accustomed to things like this happening, like, at all. [ She looks unsure, glancing around casually. ] Where I'm from this is the kind of stuff that only happens in movies, television shows, or games, not the "real" world. [ Sitting back in one of the chairs, getting comfortable. ]

I guess...

[Unsure. Because. Well. This isn't the strangest thing that she's been through. Not by a long shot...]

[ no, apparently LJ is the true bane of all RP'land. /sob ]

[ what

no really what

Have pity on the girl, she's from boring old Earth. ]

Well, it's nice to meet you. I'm Tony. [ Offers up a smile. ]

Um... yep, sounds about right! Only no heels to click together, sorry.

[well at least you seem optimistic about it!]

The free red shoes would've been nice, but it still beats homework I guess. If they want to provide free room and board in exchange for me making new friends then it's not a bad setup, I think. [ Grins. ]

[ The way she sees it optimism and positivity causes good mood, higher spirits, and more laughter. Pessimism and negativity gets you stress, wrinkles, and a perpetual state of gumps. Optimism, for the win! ]

Man, anything beats homework. [once he got over the whole stripped of powers, stuck as a human thing.] I wasn't really thinking of it as free room and board in exchange for making friends, but... that's pretty accurate.

Good point. That's one thing from high school I won't miss. [ Small little smirk of amused agreement there.

Anything could sound better with the right positive spin, and really-- ] As many horror movies as I've seen, this could really be a lot worse. As long as this place or the gods don't end up making me eat those words I'll be happy.

You're out of high school? Lucky... [high school sux man]

—Oh that's true. I didn't think of that either, but... we could have been kidnapped to like... I don't know, somewhere way crappier than this. With serial killers. And clowns.

Heh, we've all gotta do hard time. If it's any consolation that first day watching the high schoolers board the bus while you get to sleep in? Totally worth it.

[ Making a face, then laughing. ] You basically just described the movie "It"! That's way too freaky for my taste.

Edited 2011-12-17 06:03 (UTC)

Yeah, I bet. [the most petulant of faces...] But it totally sucks while you're there.

[OH WOW JUST SHUDDERS SKDJFhkjsf] Man, I hate that movie. My big sister made me watch it when I was a kid and it scarred me for life.

[ Just this cheeky grin. Sorry Seth. ] Yeah, it kinda does. My condolences.

[ laughing more ] My big brother made me watch it too. I've never been able to look at clowns the same way since. Or balloons.

I've never seen a clown in real life, but I think if I did I'd probably just like... kick his shins and run in the other direction or something.

[bleh. clowns are the actual worst to be honest.]

[ Laughing at that mental image. ] I wouldn't blame you. They're creepy. [ Saying a lot coming from her, since she tries not to judge. ]

I've only met one once, at a circus... from a safe distance away. [ They're horrible alksfjasldf ] I was way more terrified of the mascot at Celebration Station where we grew up. His costume was filthy. I spent his entire visit at the party hiding under the table.

What's a Celebration Station? [mascots and clowns basically fall into the same category for him, frankly.] Circuses in general are kinda freaky, I think. We don't really get a lot of them where I'm from 'cause it rains so much [and also because they rez is like one square mile lmfao] but they've always seemed kinda eerie.

[ Her eyes widen in mock surprise (only because it's not like you'd find one in every city after all). ] Oh man, you didn't have one? It was only like the coolest place ever when I was a kid! They had an arcade that spanned two floors, racing go-karts, a pizzaria, a giant ball pit, mintaure golf, AND they sold all kinds of amazing prizes. Of course they don't have one in New York. We stopped by one in Indiana when we were visiting family. [ Someone's clearly still a kid at heart. ]

Anything like that where you're from? ... Actually, do you mind if I ask where ARE you from? I'm Tony, by the way.

That sounds awesome. [makes the most annoyed face ok even though he's actually grinning] And I can totally see why we don't have one. I live on-rez—uh, on a reservation, with like... four hundred people. Not really prime location for something like that.

[...a pause.] Wow, you have name I can pronounce! Hi Tony. I'm Seth.

[ Pfffft. Can Seth just be her adopted little brother? He reminds her so much of her younger siblings anyway. ]

Oh, really? As in a Native American reservation? Yeah, I guess not. I can see that. We live in the Chinatown in Brooklyn. It's not the same, but we pretty much have to leave home if we want to visit places like that, too. Probably not as far off, I guess.

[ Ha ha, well she introduced herself by nickname so-- not that "Toh Ni" is really hard so much as probably kinda different. ]

Nice to meet you, Seth. It sounds like you're the first person I've met that comes from the same planet, or at least a similar time period.

[he's perpetually friendzoned with all the hot chicks :( downside of having a baby face.]

Yeah, right. La Push is like one square mile, too, so... not enough space, not enough people. [total downer dude he loves those kinds of places.] I mean, it's not like we're not allowed to leave or anything—just, since it's just me and Leah and my mom now, and my mom's council leader, it's kinda hard to get off-rez to do anything.

[wow tl;dr sorry about that life story!! he just looks the most awkward now] Earthlings gotta band together, right?

[ Aww. If she were younger. YOU'LL FIND SOMEONE, SETH. :D

... Also, Awww you think she's hot! How sweet!

Also ~~AGAIN~~ she doesn't mind, heck, if you're comfortable enough with her to be open about it she's happier. Making friends and people being at ease and happy around her and all. She likes it. ]

I'm sorry to hear that. [ Because she's assuming from the way you said it that the loss of your father was recent, and the sentiment is genuine, however shortly that comes up in conversation. She gives it a moment, not wanting to seem dismissive, then-- ]

Well, you know, they probably have something like that here? It's a huge city, can't hurt to look around. I haven't had the chance yet. Mind keeping me company?

[he didn't really mean to bring up his father—it was recent, yeah, but it wasn't relevant, and they've worked really hard to move past it, so he kind of winces when she says "i'm sorry". but he appreciates the sentiment, truly, so he just smiles back.]

Thanks. [and as for the rest of it—] Yeah! That'd be awesome. Uh... what district do you live in?

[ Taking the lack of elaboration to mean subject change times are GO. So she'll run with it, offering up a pleased look. ]

Freyr district! How about you? [ WELL THEN. Since these bracelets are kind enough to be so handy and portable she'll go ahead and head back for her room to get dressed in coat, scarf, hat, and gloves to go outside. ]

Heimdall! Uh... I gotta admit I have no idea where Freyr is.

[like in general or in relation to heimdall... he's done a little exploring but he didn't exactly make a map.]

[ just a laugh at that, and-- "Hold on. I'll check." --and she's not sure if it'll let her pull up a map and still talk, but she'll try.

PFFFT look at that. Have Tony blinking in surprise. ]

Well that's convenient. It looks like our districts are neighboring ones!

Hey, awesome! Our adventures are obviously meant to be.

[pretty much ready to go whenever... since he has no real need for any kind of insulation, being as warm as he is all the time.]

I'll come meet you, okay?

Alright! Sounds good. I'll head down and come outside. [ Silly girl assumes that means you'll be bundling up first. She flashes another grin and waves with her free hand, then ends the feed and heads downstairs to wait (http://asgardmeridiem.livejournal.com/7570.html). ]

Edited 2011-12-19 16:03 (UTC)

[Walking around the house he is about to head outside when he see's the girl speaking to the network. Arching an eyebrow he folds his arms across his chest and approaches her once she seems finish, a small grin on his face.] Nice t' meet you too there, friend.

Yah just showed up?

[ She minimizes the screen just around the time that he speaks up. OH, a housemate! She'll offer a friendly smile. ] Pretty much, just a few hours ago. I'm Tony. [ Offering her hand for a shake. ]

[Bowing at the waist he pauses before straightening his posture once more with a tip of his hat--though the mask stays firmly upon his face.] Hello, Tony.

You can call m' Türkiye. Welcome t' the strange world of no-color and equally strange people.

[ Drawing back her hand and correcting her greeting with a bow at the waist as well, the smile persists, and a chuckle too. ]

Thank you for that, Turkiye. [ Did she pronounce that back correctly? A look for confirmation before she continues. ] It's certainly the most interesting place I've ever been.

[The chuckle is echoed as he places both of his hands on his hips.] No need t' thank me--and hey, yah did a good job with the name! The best so far.

It's pretty interestin', the whole split between things.

If everyone is so easy to get along with from what I've seen so far then it won't take that long to bring color back to this place. Kind of curious about the powers, though. How about you?

Well then! You are lucky because I can promise yah that, that is not true! Some people whine far too much, but that's just a personal opinion. [He gives a roll of his shoulders.]

As far as the powers are concerned though? Some people seem t' know what they have and others do not! I, on one hand, are part of the many who have no fuckin' clue.

Hmm... guess I haven't run into anyone like that yet. Some people just handle shocks like this better than others I think.

[ She remembers being told, but she's not sure just yet how they work. This concept... is sort of amazing. She's just a normal person, suddenly having powers? Way cool okay. ]

I'm not sure I understand the extent of them yet, but I guess I was lucky. I got something called "Bardic Influence". I can only guess it's music related. I'm sure we'll all find out in time? [ If that's any help. ]

I would guess the same thing--but so far from what Iv'e seen there is lots of people complainin'! Though, I suppose I don't blame 'em. It's not the most east t' understand place.

[He pauses and gave a quiet hum.] Well--can yah sing well?

Well, this place does handle pretty much like something right out of a work of fiction, yeah. [ Chuckles. ]

Me? Well, I like to think so, yeah. [ Slightly sheepish. ]

Yes! Like someone's been writing the script and we've been inserted into it without permission. [He grins at the reply, keeping his arms folded.]

Why don't yah try it? I mean there are some plants 'round here you could sing too that I might work.
