001 ♔ video/action for Odin District

[action]

[Anyone passing through Odin District may notice this prosecutor conversing with a very familiar snowman near the library. His arms are crossed, and he taps his right upper arm with his left index finger as he waits patiently for this winter visitor to speak. He's a little relaxed...although some tension remains. Because seriously HE'S TALKING TO A SNOWMAN ASGARD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE NOW. Sure, Miles has gotten sort of used to how things roll here, but nothing prepared him for TALKING SNOWMEN. WHAT WERE THESE GODS PLAYING AT.

The snowman's button mouth moves, and he finally gives his riddle.]


I am the beginning of the end, and the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, and I surround every place. What am I?

[A moment is all Miles needs to answer this one. His neutral expression changes into a smirk. This riddle was child's play compared to the contradictions he had to unearth from difficult witnesses' testimonies. His tone is very sure...possibly even smug. Silly snowman, you don't know 'bout his shiny logic.]

The letter e, of course.

That's right. [The snowman hands him a wrapped present; his coal eyes seem to twinkle with approval. Miles looks at the present for while, then slowly reaches out to take it.]

Ah...thank you. [He stares down at the gift, wondering what could be inside - or if this was yet another trick by the gods.]

[video]

[Several minutes later, he will make his very first post on the network. Miles has spoken to a few people - mostly from his House - but he has spent much of the past week investigating as much of Asgard as he can, trying to find anything that would unravel this setup. He has found nothing, and as all his theories fall away one by one, he slowly realizes that everything, from the gods spiriting them to Asgard to the gifts these gods supposedly granted their visitors, was real. With no evidence to debunk the existence of this strange realm, his arguments were going nowhere.

So ladies and gentlemen, he will be seated at the table in his room, with a stack of books, his organizer and this hat - albeit black with an equally dark satin ribbon. At first glance it doesn't seem so warm, no? But hey, it's a nice hat. And it's winter.]


The snowman I met in my district tested my wits with a riddle, and rewarded me for my answer. [He gestures toward the hat.] I can only assume that snowmen in other districts would test others differently. [He didn't leave Odin District after he got his riddle and his hat.]

If you have met a snowman in another district besides that of Odin, what task were you given, and did you complete it?

Yup! My sister has three apples, 'cause she's gonna run Sweet Apple Acres when she's old enough, and Rarity has diamonds 'cause she can use her horn to find gemstones, and Twilight Sparkle's gotta magical sign thingy 'cause she's so good at magic and they said I'm gonna get mine eventually but I don't just wanna wait for it, so I try lots of special stuff so I can find it!

[OH GOD WHEN DOES SHE BREATHE]

Well sure, but lots of people like lots of things... but only one is gonna be yer Cutie mark.

No no no, it doesn't work like that! Ya' sound just like my Sis...

See, if we try lots of things, maybe we'll stumble onto something that we really love, but we just never thought ta' try it before!

How would we miss it? Ya' can't miss a Cutie Mark, it's one of those things that just clicks! Or that's what all the ponies back home say, at least.

But how in the hay are you gonna miss a tree? That don't make any sense.

[identity profile] willblossom.livejournal.com 2012-01-06 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I don't think trees are anything like Cutie Marks, so I guess it doesn't match up. [it's like they're talking from two different worlds]

...... Maybe.

I'll try that! Thanks!
