[ After previously investigating his new surroundings, Aoba finally decided to get around and make friends. For reasons, he decided not to show his face right off the bat, as he was irritated at the discovery of seeing THAT MAN'S name under the contacts list. It was hilarious to imagine a pompous guy like that was also being dragged around by the gods, but it was despicable to think they were possibly in the same vicinity. And considering his personality, he must not be too far off from the Loki resident...

No matter. That Orihara Izaya must also know he was here as well, along with a couple of other familiar acquaintances. There was nothing left to do but to take prudent measures and stay a couple of steps ahead. ]

Hello, everyone in Asgard! I'm Aoba Kuronuma from the House of Loki. I'm a fresh face, so I hope to get along with all the senpai in my household. Please take good care of me~

Of course, that goes for the people in the other houses, too.

As I told a lovely girl a while ago, I'm looking for fellow newbies to group together and share information. Please contact me if you're interested! And even if you're an oldie, I would be very interested in a tour if you're willing ☆

And to share a little bit about myself, I came from a certain busy city in Japan. Which is why I'm not very used to things here yet... Oh, but! You know what does feel familiar, though?

The houses! If you think about it, don't you think we're all kind of like gangs? My old district was pretty infamous for it's notorious gangs and yakuza. It kind of scared me to think I was living in the same place as such dangerous people.

[ Says... the previous leader of his own gang. ]

But everyone is so nice over here. I'm glad...

[being in Loki, Beato knows something is up with this kid and he's not as wide-eyed and innocent as he seems. So, of course, that piques her curiosity]

I'm in Loki house.
What is it you'd like to know, Aoba-kun?

[sharkbaits]

[ He himself realizes that being placed in Loki automatically categorizes him as a person of suspicious intent, and was rather irritated at such an obvious stereotype. Depending on the scenario, he'll have to proceed with more than the usual caution. ]

Ah, a senpai! Hello.
I'm curious about a lot of things, but I made a promise with someone so...
Earlier, I was looking in the library but I couldn't find out anything about how this world ended up in this state.
If you happen to know, or anyone else who does, I'd be very grateful.

[highstakesgame]

Hmm.
What I've gathered is that it's some kind of virus
that affected the native people and turned them gray
and emotionless.
Should you take your bracelet off for any length of time,
you'll slowly lose your color, too.
So it is in your best interest to keep it on.

[theheirofbreath]

gangs?
i kind of thought they seemed more like frat houses.
like we should all have sweatshirts and throw parties and play pranks.
stuff like that.

[sharkbaits]

That sounds like fun! Does everyone really party around all the time?
Or is this just one of your fantasies?

[trickyoutwice]

[This guy sounds too nice to be real, especially if he's in Loki House, but hey, someone else who's in the same house and out of the loop, too. Worth poking his nose in, if only to find out what's going on.]

Yo, I'm Niou, just got here, too. I've been getting kind of a crash course in the weirdness from a friend, so I guess we could share information or something.

The houses feel more like school to me. Got your club teams competing and people being way too friendly with the enemy. 'cept there's literal gods making people do things instead of just the fear of captains with god-related nicknames.

We're in the same house, so let's make sure we're the ones who win while we're here, yeah?

[text]

[sharkbaits]

Oh... I. Don't think I got some of that.

[ Club teams? Captains?? Hm. But he's liking what he's hearing so far. He just won't voice it out loud. ]

But no worries! I believe I have the gist of it.
Aside from your athletic affinity if I got that right, I think we have a bit in common, Niou-senpai. Especially with god-named captains~
Though even if this were a cultural sports festival, what exactly would we win?

[wasthemaster]

Gangs. [Let's see if he's getting this straight.] How are gangs similar to this?

[text]

[sharkbaits]

Nice question! If you consider mythological history, gods in every version are always seen bickering with each other.
And here we are placed in different deity houses.
Not very far from gangs, in my opinion. It's almost like we're fighting in place of each family member!

But please don't take any of my comments seriously. ☆ I'm just a kid interested in history.

[ ᴠıᴅᴇᴏ ]

[corona]

Wow. You are really good at introductions.

[ ᴠıᴅᴇᴏ ]

[sharkbaits]

[ Was that... meant to be sarcasm? Or the real thing? Sometimes communicating through text had it's inconveniences. ]

Thank you! I don't know what qualifies as good, but I guess you could say introductions are totally my thing.

[magatama_no_amaterasu]

I wonder who that lovely girl could be. Careful not to get smitten with me, Kuromuna-kun.

Text

[sharkbaits]

Ara, but who can blame me if a girl is as lovely as you, Natsume-san.

[right_reaction]

Do you mean something like a newspaper?

[sharkbaits]

Oh, is there one here?
If so, then that'd be very handy!

[rorring]

sorry, i've never heard of any street gangs that live in the same house and have weird powers.
but yeah, this place can be pretty dangerous if you're allergic to hugs and can't handle a foot of water.

[sharkbaits]

I've heard about the infamous hug event. Was it really that bad?

text

[wristbands]

well that's the first time i've heard someone say something like that
the gang thing, i mean
uh...

[sharkbaits]

Aha... is it really that weird?
I guess I'm just so used to hearing about it, that I expected a similar atmosphere in Asgard, too.

[considerate]

Nice to meet you Aoba, I'm Touya and I'm in the Sigyn house.

What do you mean by gangs though? Like.. biker gangs?

Don't worry about this place though, it kinda gets a little strange and weird but so far nothing dangerous has happened.

[there's a 'yet' there.]

[sharkbaits]

Hello, Touya-senpai of the Sigyn house!
Biker gangs are definitely a kind of gang I'm familiar with back home.
Though that's a relief! I guess it's just me being paranoid, but I'm glad to see everyone gets along so well.

[ READ: for now... ]

[unimpressive]

Gangs?

[He doesn't really have a clue what a gang is supposed to be, but he can get an idea from the context... They sure sound like pirates to him. But he's never heard of pirates being called gangs...!!]

Like criminals who all live together? Aren't those just pirates?

[text]

[sharkbaits]

Isn't the age a bit too far in for pirates?

[ Though he knows very well there are 21st century pirates who'd love a piece of stolen cargo off the shores of the more troubled nations, but doesn't bother to bring it up. ]

So not really... but I guess that's close enough. I take it your world didn't have any gang activity?

video. private.

[auditor]

[ screw you kids and your texting!!! or, claudia is learning how to type efficiently and doesn't have the patience to use this moment to further her "education." when she isn't so slow, maybe. ]

And what sort of information are you looking for? You shouldn't be so vague.

video. private.

[sharkbaits]

[ Ah, a private video feed! Might as well return the gesture... ]

Ah... was I? Well, I suppose I was. [ He smiles at her, just as he does with mostly everyone he meets. ]

I'm curious about the different powers people have... You see, my world is more... well, normal. So I don't even know where to begin, for starters.
