[Here's a finely-coiffed, well-dressed young man wandering the Freyr district, wincing every so often and examining his designer boots for water damage. When he can he hops up on a higher surface, peering around before looking down at the screen.]

Well, I must say it's quite beautiful here. I have to ask, though--it always this, er, soggy?

[He curls up in his perch, sighing as the wind tries to ruffle his meticulously-styled hair.] As much as I love tasteful post-modern Swiss design, I can't help but find this all a bit...off-putting. I mean, it's not like I have anything particularly-- [going for me at home, he's about to say, but refrains. Instead, he trails off, looking around again.]

I'm Kurt, by the way. Kurt Elizabeth Hummel. I'd hate to embarrass myself by introducing myself to a bracelet, so tell me a bit about yourselves? And a little more about this--this god business. I take it people here are rather religious? [He doesn't look very thrilled about that, but...]

Anything you'd like to talk about would be nice. It would be lovely to speak to someone who doesn't look as though they stepped out of the American Gothic. [Powers? Faceless maids? We're not talking about those things. We're taking it easy right now. The panic will come later, when he figures out that this isn't a dream.]

You mean something like an exit from this place? So far nobody has found anything of the sort yet.

It's terrible. To keep us here like this.

[entreats]

.. It is. Of course it is.

But it's not like the gods will listen to that. In fact, I get the feeling they only seem to enjoy it the more miserable we are.
