 [He'd practiced with this thing a few times before actually recording with it.  From what he could tell, he'd gotten the hang of it.  The technology behind it just wasn't something he understood, but it was really impressive.  Sort of what he'd imagined technology should be like in this day and age-- or well, his own day and age.  The video starts, and he looks a bit serious.]

My name is Kyohei Kadota.  I've read Norse myths, but I didn't think they really existed.

[And now looks like he's barely containing a grin.  It wasn't every day that something he'd read in a book turned out to be real to this degree.  It actually made him pretty excited.]

The Library [left him speechless] is pretty great.  I think I'll be there a lot today, so I'd like to talk to anybody.  Anything anybody can tell me about this place is great.  How exactly do we bring color and life back here?

[This was great.  It felt like a real quest.]

Oh, one more thing.  If you know of a good job, I'm looking for one.

[Action for Odin house]

[While he knew there was someone in the room connected to his, he hadn't met them yet, only heard them.  Today, rather than spend all his time exploring the city, Kadota has decided to hang around his room and wait for them to see who it was.  He had his suspicions from the clothing, hair things, paints, and items left in the bathroom - it had to be a girl - but he really should find out, at least, a name.  

For now he'll be playing with his frost power on the bathroom mirror.  It was cool.  Not just cool, amazing.  It was one of the best things he'd ever experienced; it was really hard to believe he wasn't dreaming.  The grin on his face is just impossible to smother.]

What k'nd of job?

[dota_chin]

[oh hey there kid]

I worked in construction. I'm open to any.

[volcanoes]

By showing emotions, I guess. [Obviously no further explanation is needed right?]

[rules_the_north]

W' 're looking fer a cook and a waiter.

[More males would be awesome, too, as much as he loves his female employees... Being the only male one still most of the time is sometimes a bit awkward.]

Odd j'bs, too. [Though he does most of those himself.]

[dota_chin]

You have a business?

[He's really never met any teenaged business owners before, it's a logical question.]

Ever need anything built or fixed?

[dota_chin]

I guess I can see how that works, but how do you know you've changed something?

[Taking Iceland's answer to heart, yes.]

[rules_the_north]

[He's doing some quick recalculations about the way that work is distributed. He already leaves Claire alone with the work that she is doing when Orihime or Jade need help in their parts, usually Orihime now that Sokka is working with them for the evening crowd. Even if he won't leave the workshop for good, he could probably have someone else take over most parts of what he himself does in the workshop - especially when it is about doubles and triples of items.]

's a carpentry attached. Any 'xperiences?

...And yes, 's mine. [He's not quite sure what the question is supposed to mean. Sure, he is pretty young, but not too old to have inherited it from his father, if he had one and this place really kept people long enough for family lines.]

[volcanoes]

Well, stuff has more color now, so I guess it's been working. [He shrugs.] If you talk to someone who lives here a lot they'll start getting color, too.

[arching a brow... he will never really get used to the enthusiasm of some newcomers.]

If you enjoy the library, we always seem to be hiring.

[heartfeltfancy]

We're supposed to interact with people. That's how it works, I think.

[chartthestars]

Funny what things turn out t'be true.

[knifedances]

You almost sound pleased to be here.

[dota_chin]

It's nice to be somewhere new.

Who is this?

[He won't say too much until he knows who he's talking to.]

[dota_chin]

No kidding.

[Is that man's jaw made out of metal. . .]

[dota_chin]

Oh? Thanks for letting me know.

Does anything seem to work better than other things?

[dota_chin]

That works best, then. I see.

Anything else you can tell me would be helpful.

[dota_chin]

So you're saying I could work there? Doing what?

[Dream come true. . .]

[dota_chin]

Actually, yeah.

[He looks mildly impressed.]

You started it here yourself? That's great.

[knifedances]

Still not entirely used to the new technology, yet? My name should be right there if you look for it, Dotachin ☆

[And hey, even if you're not able to locate his details that form of address should narrow it down significantly.

[rules_the_north]

B'fore I left. [When he was older. Also:] Look at 't before dec'ding?

[dota_chin]

Don't call me tha-

Ah-

[Noooo illusion of a magical place all his own destroyed. It might be possible to see some slight dismay on his face. He'll reply via text though.]

So someone like you is here, then.

[dota_chin]

Definitely. Where is it?

[knifedances]

[He'll just ignore that initial request, as always]

Someone like me? That's an interesting way of putting it, though I don't think I'll bother to ask for clarification. And sure, someone like me is indeed here.

Does that surprise you?

[Directions], open 12 to 10. [Well, longer than that, because people can stay basically until Sweden goes to sleep, but until ten food and more elaborate drinks than "a bottle of beer" will be served.]

[aggrievance]

[It is indeed a girl; one not much older than thirteen, judging by the looks, and now sporting dark purple hair ever since her friend Xavier got a hold of it.

And she is currently leaning against the door leading to her room with an amused smile, watching Kadota test out his powers on the mirror.]

I see the gods have decided your personal inclinations were of a colder variety.
