[text] [ late night | day 89 ]

I'm sure everyone's noticed that the gods are playing games again. Thanks to Freyr's post, we don't have to wonder too much about who is responsible. We've still got a lot to learn about what's going on. Discussion: 1) Do you perceive yourself to be drawn more towards certain people or certain types of people than others? 2) How would you categorise the force of the hugs? 3) Has this case changed how you feel about hugs? (If so, please elaborate.) 4) Has this case changed how you feel about the gods? (If so, please elaborate.) 5. Has this case changed how you feel about your fellow Asgard citizens? (If so, please elaborate.) Please respond with any information you'd like to share. If you want to respond anonymously or privately that's fine but your honest feedback would be appreciated. Also let me know if you have a question you'd like added.

We can't work like this. I'm giving the department time off until this thing is finished. Enjoy.

Corona sounds like an interesting place. I'm from Tokyo, 2011.

maybe. I don't know. I don't know if I'll ever see it now.

I knew you were Japanese! is Tokyo 2011 nice?

How come? It's all right -- compared to Asgard it's really big, crowded and noisy!

[ She...can't quite tell if he's serious. ]

because we can't leave.

You don't think we're staying here forever, do you?

yes! I mean I hope so?
no that's not what I mean it's la
no I
akfl;4;i Idon't know. it's weird to think about because it seems unlikely that we'll all get to leave at once if it's never happened yet. just people that supposedly disappear right? and even then some of them just come back.

I think it's weirder to imagine that we're here to stay forever. If people go back to their world at the same time they leave, it seems like this is temporary, and once the gods are done with us, we'll slip seamlessly back into our lives. If it's permanent ... I feel like there'd be an impact. I also think that if we were here permanently, we wouldn't be able to slip back into our worlds or become grey at all.

[ Oh she doesn't like that idea at all. No impact? That's completely terrifying. ]

so you think we'll all just be returned once this is over?

I admit, I my proof is inconclusive ... But I think so.

what about the people who may have been here before us?

You mean the grey citizens?

not them no.

it's just something I've heard. draco malfoy and I talked about it some. the possibility that we aren't the first people brought here to color asgard. and then there's the reason it's grey to begin with. we still don't know that.

Have you got any proof that there were people brought in from other worlds before us? Because, to me, it seems like the wording of the Fire Giant's message implies we're the first. Have you seen the records found in the abandoned hospital?

that's what inspired the thought actually. why?

Because I haven't seen any proof that there were Travellers before us, and if there is some, I'd really like to see it.

do you think the gods would leave it around if there were proof? or if they did make it obvious like that. it's just fishy. the whole thing.

You don't come up with a theory and then look for proof. You find the facts first, and reason based on that. Anything else and you risk distorting the truth. It's true that with our possession's vanishing when people leave here, we won't have it easy finding material proof for your theory ... but the grey people don't lose the colour they gained if they don't see us for a while. They even continue spreading that colour to other grey people, so I think there would have to be some record of previous Traveller presence either in lingering colour, records of the traveller presence kept by the citizens, that sort of thing. Given how many crimes have been committed by this group of travellers already in the short time we've been here, there's got to be something -- a wave of crime, any outbreaks of unusual behaviour -- so I think talking to the grey citizens or searching for records in the library or hospital is your best bet for finding proof. I don't know about library, but I might be able to get you into the hospital records if you're interested. Or the undertaker's office in Hel, they're another possibility -- even the graveyard there might be useful. I think the biggest challenge to your theory will still be explaining why the Fire Giants used our presence as the basis for his declaration of war if this has happened before.

[ She's about to address the meat of that but his last remark surprises her into distraction. ]

what war?

[You are never going to make a detective like this, Rapunzel :/ ]

Did you see the bit about the fires in the guide? That war.

[ S-SHE'S TRYING OKAY ]

No - [ she shakes her head ] I mean... They're actually at war with us? It doesn't seem like it at all.

Granted, there's only been two attacks, but it's serious enough that one grey citizen died and one of my friends almost got killed. That's why Arthur started the Citadel and why so many are helping him -- they believe this is only the start.

Have they ever attacked the city itself? Not...the people, but - the buildings. The park.

The park was set on fire by the fire Giant's messenger. He targeted buildings rather than people, which was probably the only reason casualties were so low.

[ This is cause enough for her to switch back to text. Just so Conan won't see the anger and fear in her face. Even if their freedom is chimerical it's still better than what she'd had before. And while, morally Rapunzel tends to concerned with things that only affect her and the people she cares about directly, Asgard is her home now. ]

why would they do something like that?

It's War. That means doing whatever it takes to make sure your side wins. Back home, even in war there are treaties, things people won't do -- attacking civilians, respecting neutral parties. Here, we don't even have that.
