[Luckily for....most of Asgard, Ramirez expended most of his initial panic harassing a maid impervious to damage, so when he actually sits down and responds to the network he is fairly calm. He's trying hard to keep that impending sense of panic and claustrophobia under control. Because Lord Galcian wouldn't panic in a situation as meager as this. Panic was weakness and Ramirez would rather die than return to Lord Galcian with that kind of disgrace on his shoulders.

It's not often he finds himself so helpless and out of his element. The last time something of this magnitude had happened to him was...about seven years ago, when he first saw Arcadia with his own eyes.

He'd rather not think about those times. His own naivete made him sick. Instead, he focuses on addressing the community at large in his usual no-nonsense tone...though there seems to be a rather hoarse, stifled quality to it this time.]

I've no interest in assisting this world, but it appears as though my options are limited for now.

Explain this city. And if--

[Whatever else he was planning to say is cut off by a series of wet, miserable coughs that last up until the feed shuts off. Guess who didn't take kindly to his House snowman asking for a smile.]

Ooh, tsk tsk, seems someone was unkind to one of the icy ones.

[ Merrill gives a slightly smug - but friendly - grin. ]

[Your friendly grin is returned by a not-so-friendly glare.]

What.

[Somehow, this head cold is simultaneously making him more irritable and taking his claws out]

The icy ones. Everyone who's failed to provide a smile has been rewarded with a cold, and a nasty one, too.

[ she's not really picking up on the hostility - she just figures it's the cold irritating him. ]

Are you talking about that pathetic snow creature that incessantly wept and wheedled after me?

[It certainly isn't helping.]

The city, Asgard, is divided into 9 districts with the castle we woke up in when we arrived here in the centre. There's a Welcome Hall in each one, and a different god is the patron of each.

[Well. It checks out with what that creepy maid said, at least.]

Is that all you have to say?

We're all new arrivals much like yourself, Oniisan! We haven't had the chance to more extensive research yet.

[notbyronic.livejournal.com]

[Oniisan what the fuck is that--

But interesting. Apparently, he's only part of a first batch of guinea pigs. That in itself is more information than he retrieved earlier. He'll keep his irritation down for now.]

Then tell me the date of the earliest arrival.

It would seem like each of our patron... deities has given us a new set of abilities. I'm not entirely-- [He cuts off, his attention diverted by the coughing.]

...Are you all right?

[GIVE HIM A MINUTE-- actually, no, this isn't getting any better and he just sounds pathetic.]

[Okay, so the text function in these things still a little complicated for him, but he can read it.] If you're certain...

I'm not entirely sure what all of these abilities are. I haven't used mine yet either, but some of the others have. If you saw a woman when you woke up too, she might have told you something about them as well?

[Well he's going to stubbornly use it until his coughing goes down to a reasonable rate. :(]

[Not much else is given on his end. Ramirez doesn't particularly want to give out any information that could put him at a disadvantage to a bunch of strangers.]

Join the club! And bless you. [They're grinning fiendishly, even if the man didn't exactly sneeze. They know he'll be doing it eventually!]

[video]

[notbyronic.livejournal.com]

[Are you making fun of him. :| He just settles for glaring daggers at the video screen.]

I'm fine. [Look at that grin, you are totally trying to get his goat. HE'S NOT FALLING FOR IT.]

Re: [video]

[weebitbipolar.livejournal.com]

[Their grin is just going to widen at that grumpy expression, doo doo~]

Of course you're fine! Your lungs simply wanted to say hello! Perfectly normal, ha ha ha!

[rebreaks.livejournal.com]

You cannot leave it. And-

Ah. Are you alright?

voice

[notbyronic.livejournal.com]

[Urgh, this sucks. Unfortunately, Ramirez never does take kindly to sympathy.]

Yes.

[rebreaks.livejournal.com]

[well she did not expect that sort of reaction! perhaps he is still upset about his arrival?]

Ah, this can be very stressful. Perhaps you might feel better after some rest at your given room?

[manskirt.livejournal.com]

Well, that's the trouble. No one's been able to explain the city just yet.

...Though there does seem to be a cold going around; I can tell you that much.

[notbyronic.livejournal.com]

I've noticed. [On both accounts. :|]

[manskirt.livejournal.com]

Delightful, isn't it? Best vacation I've had yet.

[Oh, for the love of-]

The lot of you are showing an uncharacteristic amount of concern for someone you don't even know.

[He's been around self-absorbed upper-class citizens for too long, doubling up by working for a man who hates weakness of any kind. He unfortunately doesn't take kindly to sympathy or genuine concern. :c]

[verifies]

Uncharacteristic? [ he pauses and thinks, before shaking his head. ] I'd be worried about anyone...
