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.

Movie night's off.

[ there's a brief glimmer of satisfaction at the final remarks — what he's established about this asgard and this loki, trickster and lie-smith and word-smith in naught but name alone, has left much to be desired. ]

Timelines and duplicates and alternate universes.

[ a pause; consideration. there was no way of knowing whether it had been him, though; loki was and is a liar, and he doubts he'd have mentioned anything that would overtly speak of his identity to a stranger. a human. if thor — his thor — or any of the æsir he knew were present, it'd be a different story. perharps stark—.

there's a brief arch of his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips curl into a small smile. ]

I admit to feeling a touch of relief at knowing I didn't merely sit in obscurity.

[holmes_fanatic]

Oh, I don't doubt that Loki-sama doesn't remember being here! It's happened to someone else I know. He was here and then he left, and he came back again as if he'd never been here at all. Chances are there's more people in the same situation.

I have the impression that 'obscurity' is not something Loki-sama does.

[gameplaying]

[ he can and does when the situation calls for it, when underhanded, backhanded, and behind-the-scenes manipulations — his preference — are called for more than anything else, but when it comes down to it, he wants his actions recognised, revealed. there was no point in tricks and in sorcery, in magic and in illusion if none could marvel at them.

he doesn't bother responding to the mark verbally, however, instead choosing simply to acknowledge it with a slight inclination of his head. there was, after all, no need to either confirm or deny. ]

There's no need for the honorifics.

[holmes_fanatic]

Just Loki then?

[That is an unexpected development. Conan would prefer the honorifics -- any barrier between himself and the man who read his act so easily is welcomed, even if it's an illusory verbal one.]

I'll remember.

[gameplaying]

Words and names are never just.

[holmes_fanatic]

Leaving the honorific off is a big deal where I'm from. I want to be sure.

[gameplaying]

We are in world claiming to be Asgard.

[holmes_fanatic]

I don't follow your meaning, Loki. The fact we've been kidnapped to an Asgard is enough reason to abandon everything we knew before now?

[gameplaying]

Not at all. Merely that one should seek to adapt, should they not?

[holmes_fanatic]

I agree. Adaptation is necessary here.

But I don't know whether it's the language or the respect or both, but using honorifics is important to who I am. Being so far away from home, it's even more important to me here, 'cause it's a reminder of that life.

[gameplaying]

Whereas I've always believed respect is not in the words used, but the use of words.
