[The man in the video seems jovial enough at at a glance, but anyone who looks closer might notice his distrust, not quite masked by his smile. There is relief, too, though whatever he was about to face he would not have been defenceless. He is armed with a recurve bow, and though it isn't loaded there is a quiver full of arrows on his back, and there is a scimitar sheathed by his side.]

It seems today is not such a good day to die after all. People of Asgard, I'd like to thank you once I know my men are as safe as I am. I'm glad at least someone had a better plan than mine.

My name is Robin Hood. I suppose I should feel privileged. It is rare a man of my status is considered an honoured guest, unless he's to be a guest of the cells, or perhaps the noose if it's a bad day.

I won't pretend to understand what is been asked of me here, nor whatever else I have been told of this place. I never thought I would be able to talk in such a way to anyone, and I would consider charm to be more a talent than a power, though a talent I will admit comes more freely to some than to others.

[Robin offers an easy grin, but it doesn't last long. Asgard isn't the only thing on his mind, and it soon changes to a more serious expression. Guarded, but concerned. He takes a breath.]

Lads. If any of you are here and have been shown how to use this, let me know. Some of you may not trust this, I know. I understand. But for the moment we have no choice. We have to regroup. I need to know you're okay.

Oh, that's easy! Charm makes people fall in love with you!

[Orihime is TOTALLY helping, man]

[ the recurve bow and arrows actually caught her attention before his words did. regardless, the man is polite enough to ask the network, and it seems impolite not to answer. ]

May I ask what their names are? Perhaps they arrived at an earlier time than you did, sir.

I know what charm is.

[So helpful. Really. Robin should be more appreciative.]

Ah? Oh, okay! I have a friend with that power and she wasn't sure how to use it!

Either way, it's nice to meet you, Robin Hood-san!

So you're a criminal?

They would talk of me if they had. We were together moments before my arrival, so they could not have been here for long.

[Still, it can't hurt to give their names if there's a possibility she may have seen them. He holds up a wooden tag around his neck for her to see the carved arrow symbol.] There are four of them. They each hold my tag. Much, Will Scarlett, Little John, and Djaq. I can describe them in more detail if need be.

The system is criminal. I only do what is necessary to restore justice to the people.

So, a vigilante.

A talent. Not a power. It does not make people do anything.

The pleasure is mine. Forgive me, I do not know your name.

[ she looks at the tag, then gives him a regretful shake of her head. ] I'm afraid I haven't seen anything like that, here. Nor have I heard of their names before. [ there is a pause here. ] Besides, time works differently in Asgard from where you're from. You may have been with them mere moments ago from your perspective, but for theirs it can be completely different.

I suppose that is one way to put it.

That does not seem possible. [Then again, there is a lot of this that doesn't seem possible.]

If I am here, and they are there... what happens to them?

That's pretty cool... How many bad guys did you beat up?

I--I don't know, exactly. [ though she supposes she doesn't think much on it because those she loves the most are also in the city. however, susan does remember a time when she worried about both peter and lucy - when only edmund was here with her. ] Some say time there goes on as if nothing happened - as if we weren't taken. [ both peter and lucy, despite coming in later, never complained about her and edmund missing from their time - and neither was edmund, from hers. ]

I have never thought to count. Perhaps in future I should work on keeping track.

[First half demon spiders. Then someone calling himself Merlin, a topic as far as old names went that she had decided just not to broach with the young man. Then space-alien-transdimensional trolls that looked like demons. Then Lucifer himself.

Why the hell not Robin Hood too? Parents named their kids the dumbest things sometimes.]

Robin Hood, eh? Right, ok, and I'm Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile. I'd spare thanking the folks on this little shackle you're wearing. They're abductees like you, kidnapped all the same. If you really want to thank someone for your being here, the 'gods' are probably the people to do that for.

You'd definitely sound even more badass if you had a high number.

[He hopes that's true. He won't allow himself to dwell on the alternative. He sees no sense mourning those he does not know are dead, and if they are alive he's just bought time to think of a plan.]

That is good, though I find it hard to believe. What evidence is there, or is it merely hope from those who do not understand?

[ she grins. Well, he is a good humored one. ]

A leader and a charmer. This city certainly brings colorful individuals; a good thing, given our purpose.

It is high enough I do not remember. Does that truly seem so low?

[Well, that's not a reaction he was expecting. He raises his eyebrows.]

Then I would bow if I did not sense the sarcasm. I wear my tag if you doubt my identity, I have no reason to lie.

Who are these gods, then, Your Majesty? I cannot say they are familiar.

Are the two so often mutually exclusive? Charm is a good skill in a leader, at least in my experience. Though I suppose a colourful personality is important here, given the lack elsewhere, so perhaps you are right in that.

Not mutually, no. Though most leaders I have met lack a bit of charm. Have you found those whom you seek?

Har Har, at least you're a comedian at heart. Let's go with Samantha, before you get carried away with the Cleopatra bit, and don't call me your Majesty again. It was a cheap joke. You want to go calling yourself Robin Hood, that's fine by me. I'll send you some green tights when I've got the money. Maybe a funny hat.

They call themselves the gods of Asgard. Odin, Loki, Thor, Freyr, Freya, Sigryn, Hel, Baldr and Heimdall. I don't know much, though I'd heard the names Loki, Odin and Thor when I was in my world. Not much else other than that Loki's a sneaky little jackass, Thor has a hammer and I've heard Odin's name. Since I came here, I haven't learned much more than that, other than that they're kidnapping jackasses who want us to 'feel things' and bring color back to this gray and lifeless world.

Why would I want tights? [Or a hat for that matter. He is so confused. Though he can at least follow some of her talk of gods, if not much.]

I know little of Norse. I had thought their religion long dead.
