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.

[ ... hm. it seems like he was passed along between families. what happened to his parents? ]

German cooking. [ ... ] Parents thought it was funny.

[action]

[holmes_fanatic]

Why funny?

[action]

[respectus]

[ it was... a metaphorical 'fuck you' to the people who made him-- ]

'm supposed to be German.

[action]

[holmes_fanatic]

['supposed to be'?]

Where did you live?

Do you like it? German food, I mean.

[action]

[respectus]

Excelsis, At las. [ city, country! ] Wasn't bad. Got used to it after awhile.

[action]

[holmes_fanatic]

Germany's a country in common with my world, but I've never heard of Excelsis or At las. Where is it?

[action]

[respectus]

Middle of the Atlantic ocean. It's been there for a while.

[action]

[holmes_fanatic]

Is it artificially constructed or natural?

[action]

[respectus]

Artificial. They rose it out of the ocean... 'bout three hundred years ago.

Guess I'm either from your future, or one of those alternate realities. [ hopefully it's not the same world. he's actually... really, really hoping that it's not the same world, even if it's just the future. ]

[action]

[holmes_fanatic]

It's looking that way! What year is it where you're from?

[action]

[respectus]

323 RL. You?

[action]

[holmes_fanatic]

... 2011.

What happened 323 years ago?

[action]

[respectus]

AD?

323 years ago, they pulled Atlas out of the ocean. Kinda like the turn of the era.

[action]

[holmes_fanatic]

Ha. That sounds fascinating.

What prompted that? Need for more land?

[action]

[respectus]

Sorta. The world needed a beacon. [ bad shit happened before that, man. some hope is always nice, especially on the technological front. ]

[action]

[holmes_fanatic]

What is it you're trying not to tell me?

Re: [action]

[respectus]

[ have a look. then, a shrug. ] That it all went to hell.

[action]

[holmes_fanatic]

How did it happen? Was there another war?

[action]

[respectus]

Nah. The world threw a fit.

... 'sa long story. 'm not even if sure if I've got it all down.

[action]

[holmes_fanatic]

Ah.

Well, if Loewe-kun's not sure ...

[Oh. Look. He ate all of his dinner without realising it.]

[action]

[respectus]

[ ... that's actually kind of endearing. tiny smile. ]

You really that curious?

[action]

[holmes_fanatic]

[He's got the slightly confused 'where did it go?' expression and everything, although that vanishes as he nods at Loewe's question.]

Mm! I want to know about Loewe-kun's world.

[action]

[respectus]

Fair enough.

... you religious at all? [ he doesn't think you are, but-- he's nothing but meticulous, and would rather cover all his bases. ]

[action]

[holmes_fanatic]

Um. I go to shrines at New Years and sometimes for festivals, but I don't believe.

... and the gods here don't count.

[action]

[respectus]

[ ... figures. ] It's a long story.

The place I come from had a creator. But not a God. [ big distinction, here. ] People theorized this for a while, but they didn't really get anywhere until a guy actually went ahead and proved it.
