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.

That's good! You'll fit right in then. This place is pretty weird... Though I guess it's below average in my standards. [ Hmmm. ]

What house are you in, huh? Miss Burger Queen.

Well, seeing as how you're a deity, I can't say I'm surprised you'd find it sub par. [Shrugs.]

Baldr. Home to snobbish, from what I've seen so far. What about you, Miss Finger Burger?

Even for a deity, I think my world is pretty wonky... [ Mirrors that shrug. ]

Hel! Home of the depressing weirdos, it looks like.

Another from Hel, then. I wonder if your patron goddess ever considered how bad that name sounds when spoken out loud.

It really just sounds like a goth girl, but she has been there before goth was a thing, so... [ Yeaaaaah. ]

I haven't had any problem with her. Most of the commotion comes from Baldr, really.

Maybe she invented goth aesthetics in the first place. [Not that it makes sense...]

Really, now? What sort of commotion has he caused?

Probably...! I would believe that. [ She chuckles a bit. ]

Well, he was basically grounded by daddy Odin and forced into the wilderness, but then he thought it'd be great if he dragged a bunch of people he didn't like with him. A lot of things happens and people died.

...You know, I'm starting to prefer being with the guy who had sex with the horse right now.

Sadly, he has been more helpful than most of the gods. [ AND THAT BOTHERS HER.

A lot. ]

Seriously? Isn't that one, big, blinding contradiction?

You can only imagine what we're going to get into if the trickster is giving us advice, huh? [ She tilts her head a bit. ]

It should be pretty interesting.

Interesting, or a complete nightmare.

I'm hoping you're not going to get yourself involved here, Burger Queen.

Though Baldr house does have some pretty great powers... [ At least from what she has heard. ]

So am I, but you know how these things go. Wake up one morning to run errands, end up destroying town by the end of the day. [okay that's an exaggeration BUT STILL...]

Depends who you're asking. I'm just thankful I didn't get the one that involves heights.

I usually thought it's go grocery shopping and end up saving the world. [ She'll chuckle a bit. ]

Ohhh, so regeneration?

Nah. Saving the world is for the big guns, and I don't do my own groceries. [Shrugs.]

Bingo! We have a winner.

... Really? [ WHAAAT. ] I guess you have to start now, huh.

That's a pretty convenient power at least.

It seems so. I doubt it'll be too hard. [She has no car and no $$$ to her name. No judging.]

You can say that again. Band-aids are really annoying after a while, y'know?

Picking out the right ingredients and ripe produce is pretty difficult, obviously. [ That is why you build yourself up!! ]

But they make that up with style, don't they? Like with those cute little cats on them and stuff.

Why? Don't they sell TV dinners or frozen nuggets around here? [How does she keep this figure, the world will never know.]

Aw, but they stopped selling the ones I liked years ago. Can't be in style if the ones I like don't exist anymore.

Those are gross. [ It's okay. She doesn't question since she keeps her figure eating a bunch of junk when she was a teen...! ]

Which ones did you like anyway? I'm sure we can find something similar.

They're an acquired taste. [Shrugs.]

The ones with the cartoon mice on them. [aka, fourth wall friendly mickey mouse...] They were classy.

So is pork's blood, but at least that is healthy. [ She isn't a nutrition freak or anything. ]

Ohhh...! I think I know that one. I never went to the amusement park for it though. [ IS THAT THE RIGHT ONE?? ]

...I'll leave the blood diet to the vampires. Thanks. [Yifei that's gross...]

That's the right one. Never went to the amusement park, either.

Apparently the vampire I know haven't tried it. [ It's delectable in Asia, okay. ] It's really though though!

I heard it was fun... Happiest place on the planet or something, right?
