I noticed a few new faces showing up on the bracelet and that and Sakura-chan's question made me think maybe it was time to put these out there again. Sorry for the long-timers -- I'll try and keep this short so there's as little repetition as possible!

Info on Asgard.
Sam-san's guide to the Gods and Powers.
Edmund-kun's summary of the situation here.
My own guide -- more detail than Edmund-kun's but it's incomplete!

We're working on a compilation of all three guides to make things easier, but for the moment you'll have to make do! Let us know what questions you have that aren't answered or that you'd like to see addressed -- Sena-neechan, the neighbours club is on the list, but you volunteered to do the write up, don't forget!

There's also a magic-centric guild for those interested in learning more about all sorts of magic. You can contact Aladdin-kun or Judal-san directly, or register with the guild here.

If you want to learn more about self-defence, try The Citadel. For using the powers that the gods gave us here, you want to listen out for a meeting of the Teacher's Council! That's when volunteers from each of the houses gather so you can ask questions and practice using your power with people who kind of know what they're doing. By the way, I'm one of the volunteers for Hel, so feel free to ask questions about Body Control.

Help Wanted!

- Making / Stocking Emergency Kits! We have two emergency kits for each Welcome Hall, and are gathering supplies to make more. The kits are free to anyone to use in an emergency situation and currently contain basic first aid supplies, canned food, torches, candles and space blankets. Seth-niichan and I are managing this project. We welcome donations of canned or packet food, cash or time, especially if you're someone with the power of drawing life!

- Volunteers with Healing Magic / Power Transfer / Damage Drain are always welcomed at the Hospital in Sigyn! Incidentally, the hospital blood bank is now available to Travellers who need blood to survive. Ask the lab staff for details!

- Musicians / Artists / Cooks / Anyone with experience in parties I have an idea I want to run by you! Please get in touch.

And that's all! It got long after all ... sorry! I'll try to do better next time.

I'm alive now because someone used Damage Drain on me.

[arihibro]

Shit. [the shock caused his mouth filter to not work... not like he has any idea that he's conversing with someone potentially younger than him anyway, but yes his jaw drops.]

For real?

[holmes_fanatic]

For very real.

I was stabbed in an incident that took place Day 51. I -- lost quite a lot of blood before John and Seth reached me. Taking my wound onto them stopped me losing more blood and kept me out of the danger zone long enough to get me to the hospital.

video > text > video until stated otherwise easier to keep track of y/n

[arihibro]

...So it's like that, huh. [he looks more subdued and sheepish now, after a moment of silence. Looks like something's clicking in - the guy is very easy to read at face value.]

To be honest, iunno if I'm cut out to be volunteer material. But are we still allowed to practice those powers sometimes, at the hospital?

Y and you are my hero forever /o/

[holmes_fanatic]

Definitely. If you've got more questions about using your powers there, contact Castiel -- he's been doing it the longest that I know of. Otherwise, just give your name to the reception staff when you arrive, tell them what you want to do and they'll direct you to where you need to be.

it can get so confusing up here i swear it's simplest to not put anythinfg at all u_ub

[arihibro]

OK, thanks. I'll look into it just in case.

[a beat.]

You're pretty organized and well-informed. You been here since the start of all this?

[holmes_fanatic]

Good luck.

Day 3.

[arihibro]

I still don't agree with my housing, but complaining for the rest of my stay won't do a damn thing. Might as well make use of it.

...Man, that's a long time. So... how'd you go on about describing this place, overall?

[holmes_fanatic]

Heimdall's got some cool company -- most of my best friends in Asgard are in Heimdall!

Overall? ... I guess I'd say 'challenge.'

((ack! lost this tag ;_; so sorry!))

[arihibro]

Yeah? That's kinda cool. I haven't really gotten a chance to know the people around here yet, maybe I outta hang out by the common room more often.

Challenge. Hm. [chinhands...

...] Like a tough video game? [that's a terrible comparison arihiko... but it's the conclusion he's drawn, it would seem...]

((Ffff no problem, I never would've even been able to tell! o/))

[holmes_fanatic]

I recommend it.

Ah -- kind of. I think of it as a case. You know -- like a detective novel.

[arihibro]

Gotcha.

Ooh. ...There is a lot of questions here without answers, huh? Speaking of which, that reminds me. We did sorta get a warning from the gods before that hugging competition thing began. Do they do that often? Like, give some sort of foreshadowing before stuff hits the fan?

[holmes_fanatic]

The first competition they threw, the cupcake making, we came downstairs one morning to find a letter in the kitchen explaining the competition.

Before the incident where I and several other people got stabbed, there was an old man who appeared and warned us to beware the Ides, although the gods haven't taken responsibility for that, I don't think.

There wasn't any warning before the singing, however ... or everyone changing their ages.

[arihibro]

Huh, so hit and miss? [headscratch...] ...Do they talk to us often then, and more often than not, for no reason at all?

[holmes_fanatic]

They don't talk to us often and they usually have a purpose for it -- they don't really stick around to chat either.

[arihibro]

...Well, that's weird. [SIGH...] Bah, I'm really no good at this stuff at all. Best to leave it to people who actually know what they're lookin' for. ...You like that? [being. y'know. among the people who knows what they're doing and what to keep an eye out for.]

[holmes_fanatic]

Where I'm from gods aren't real and none of this would be possible.

It's a learning process.

[arihibro]

Yeah, same here. But that's our reality now, so no use crying 'bout it, huh. Did it take long, to compile all... that? [his eyes kinda glazed over when he tried taking a look honestly, but he knows it's good info people put effort into jotting down.]

[holmes_fanatic]

It did. The hardest part is going back and finding posts to double-check the dates again, who said what exactly ... It's important to get it right, I think.

[arihibro]

Sounds like a ton of work. You seem to have stuff dated from months ago. Is the network like a book, then? Everything's archived from day one, and it doesn't run the risks of being erased, with time or something else?

[holmes_fanatic]

So far I haven't see anything erased, but having paper copies of this wouldn't be a bad idea.

[arihibro]

So we don't know if that can happen or not. ...Huh, are there even printers or photocopiers here? I don't think I've seen any.

[holmes_fanatic]

There are in the offices at the hospital and places like that! They don't connect to the bracelets however.

[arihibro]

Huh. So how'd you make the transfer, or would everything need to be written down by hand first? [his expression reflects his tone. sounds like a lot of work...]

[holmes_fanatic]

I can't see a way to avoid writing stuff out, sadly!
