asgardeventide | (001) Video + action for Baldr

[And after a whole afternoon of exploring and using this new bracelet of hers to answer some questions of her own, Eve has finally sat down somewhere in her respective Welcome Hall to scan the network. It seemed like another social tool, albeit a freakish and magical one, so she figured it would be a good idea to make use of it.

Making sure she looks confident and presentable, she turns on the video function with a friendly smile. If she was going to do this, she was going to do it right and without looking like a total newbie.]

Y'know, when I started to do my Christmas to-do list, I guess I must have forgotten to include "get kidnapped by Norse mythology". My bad. [Laughing, just a bit. She's actually annoyed by this, but she won't let it show any time soon.] Anyways... this is for introductions, right? Right.

Name's Eve Samson. Human, 17, and from a small watery planet known as Earth. I doubt there's many of you haven't heard of it. [Seeing as the majority of the people she spotted looked human, of course. But maybe that was just an assumption, all things considered.] Not... that it matters much, since I'm not there anymore. I was placed in some district called Baldr, and I dunno what that means, but I'm guessing I should be thankful I'm not in the one named after the dude who banged a horse. I think.

[Smoooooth, gurl, sharing her teeny fraction of Norse mythology knowledge right there. She pauses for a moment, as if trying to decide what to say next, before sighing and continuing.]

I already looked through this for some answers, so I'll skip the newbie questions and get to the juicy bits. Two juicy bits, to be precise.

One, how many of you here aren't human? I want names, species and current status. [Saying this like she's completely and utterly entitled to this information, yep...] And, two... does anyone know where to find a medieval Burger King or something like that? I'm starving.

Not usually, now that you mention it. Most days are pretty average.

[Ah. Right.]

I bet you've never met an angel before! [GLOAT GLOAT GLOAT]

Can't say I have. Are all angels like this? [AND GESTURING IN GENERAL. She thinks he's so bizarre...]

[Bizarre, yes, but least he's as friendly as he is confident!]

Now that you mention it, I haven't met any others here. Someone told me that they would be around but I haven't seen anyone with wings!

[Hm.] Well, there's this thing-- the bracelet, I mean. If you haven't found any others, you could go asking for them. Who knows if they're hiding?

You wouldn't think we'd be that hard to spot, but there are all sorts of weird people here! [Says the winged guy with the tunic and laurel wreath.]

...Yeah, I can see that. [DRYLY.] Maybe they're different from what you expect?

[Not that he caught on to that, of course.] You think so? It wouldn't hurt to give it a shot!

So what kinds of people have you heard from? Uh, 'people' meaning non-human people.

Wouldn't suggest it if I didn't think so, right? [Shrugs.]

Here, I've heard from a cambion and an android. It's not much of a change of pace.

An android and a cambion? That's way too awesome!

[....]

What's a cambion, again?

[...she will let that pass because she had no idea what a cambion was before now, okay.]

According to them, half-demon and half-human. Comes with the bonus of really nasty implications, if you ask me.

[Score +1!]

What?! That's like the worst possible combination ever!

You can say that again. I wasn't even told cross-species breeding was possible.

How does something like that even work?

...Well, I assume the same way all babies are born.

[Saying that with a charming smile and tone and ALSO THIS OBSCENE GESTURE...]

Maybe they hatch from these really weird giant eggs with gross patterns on them. [Thought process. Thought process.

Wow, Eve, he's rated E for 'everyone'! The gesture is flying past his head as much as math would.]

Ugh, nasty! It's gotta be more interesting, like if some weird space monster creates them out of space junk or something! That would be awesome.

[She tried to explain it in layman terms okay, sobs.]

I don't know, though. They seemed human enough, and what if the mother was human?

[Hey, it's better than using words!]

You've got a point. Maybe they can slide on by and act like they don't have anything to do with the baddies!

[....]

Unless they smell like monsters. Then they'd definitely be finished.

[.......pit you're giving her a headache with your video game mentality.]

What if they're a nice monster?

[Combine that with his logic for ultimate chaos....]

I haven't met many of those. As long as they're nice I guess it's okay.

How old are you, again?

Older than you!

Aw, can't I get another hint?

You should never ask an angel his age, you know. But I will tell you that my first big adventure was over 25 years ago!

So you're like ladies. That's good to know. How did that big adventure go for you?

Who are you calling a lady? [No, Pit.]

Are you kidding? I'm here, aren't I? It went awesomely!
