[ Allison's sitting in her room in Freya house (the pink is ridiculous) where she's been since she got here, except to eat and everything, as she tried to absorb as much information as possible. That got to be a little overwhelming, though, especially while she was going through some of the network posts, so now she's here. ]

I was trying to find more information about the powers that we get when we're pulled here. [ It feels weird to say that; she's still trying to convince herself it's not some coma-induced dream. ] There's a lot of stuff to filter through, though, so if someone could just give me a basic rundown of them, I'd really appreciate it.

I can tell you my power if it makes a difference, but just a general explanation of them would work, too.

I've an idiot running about the place somewhere that would likely be able to help you more than me, [ begrudgingly, bc admitting anyone is better than him at anything sucks balls but the idiot part helps ] but he's useless on the best of days, so I'll have to hunt him down a bit first. I'd be glad to answer any questions you might have to the best of my ability in the meanwhile.

[ Her eyebrows furrow and there's the tiniest hint of an amused smile curling the corners of her lips. ] Would you mind telling me why you're calling him an idiot if he knows more than you do?

I am compiling a list of information on them, but it is not yet finished. Did you have any specific questions?

[ a scoff, and a dismissive wave of his hand. ]

I'm certain he knows a great deal about a whole assortment of useless things. Doesn't make him any less of an idiot.

I'd just like to know as much as I possibly can, honestly. How they work, how whatever it was that brought us here was able to give them to us. If there's any trick to controlling them or if we have to learn how by trial and error.

I don't really think knowing about the powers counts as useless.

It's unclear how they work, other than through magic and force of will. The gods granted the powers in place of those from our worlds', and gave them to those who had none to begin with. Each power is suited in some way to the god who controls the related house.

Practice is the most effective way of learning to control them. They're activated by will and intention, but for those unused to powers it takes some time to learn.

It's not entirely necessary either. I've got on just fine without it. The whole magic lark is far more his trade than mine.

Does anyone do any kind of training? [ She'd like to get used to her power sooner rather than later. ] And is there any chance I could figure out the reason I was put in the house I'm in? The maid wasn't exactly helpful in that department when I got here.

What do you mean by that? [ A brief pause and then Allison winces a little. ] If you don't mind me asking. Sorry, that was kind of rude.

Not at all. I said I'd answer your questions, and I am a man of my word.

[ there's some slight amusement in that, as he inclines his head all prince like and shit. this is the best introspection ever you shut your whore mouth. ]

Merlin has magic in our own world, and if I'm to believe his stories, he's not half bad at it either. He helped to create the Teacher's Council here in Asgard, which can help you learn to use your power if you feel so inclined.

Huh... You're in Freya? [JUDGING BY THE PINK...]

Well, if your power is Charm, I can tell you a little more about it specifically, since, well, that's mine too.

[ She'll keep that in mind. ]

I'm definitely-- Wait, did you say Merlin? As in the wizard?

...let me guess, the color gave it away? [ What else would, Allison? ]

It is, actually, and that'd be really great. The more I know about it, the better, so anything you can tell me would really be appreciated.

No kidding. [although pink IS her favorite color.]

Huh. Well... it's best to show you, although showing can--sometimes get a little awkward. Since you're in the house right now, do you wanna meet in the lobby or something...?

Do you mind explaining what awkward means, first, before I agree to anything? [ Just because the girl's offering answers doesn't mean Allison's just going to agree without hesitation, especially with that kind of warning. ]

Merlin, as in my incompetent manservant, but he is also a wizard, I suppose.

[ manservant first. hocus locus rubbish second. ]

Oh, right... Well, see, Charm makes someone, or several someones, like you more. At first it's only liking, but -- when it's more powerful, it can feel like they have a crush on you or something... I can control it now, so I can turn it on and off before anything bad happens, but you might feel something weird along those lines.

[Which she's gotten pretty damn used to at this point.]

That means... [ This is harder to process than werewolves or some alternate world full of magic and a severe lack of color. ] There is no way this is actually happening. Who am I going to meet next? Robin Hood?

[ Give her... a few minutes to process this. ]

Okay, let me get this straight. What you're saying is I'm basically a walking, talking, breathing love potion bomb waiting to explode? That's what my power is?

Well, no, just a like potion right now, prolly. And not that powerful of one yet... but um, otherwise, yeah.

I don't really know if that makes it any better. [ Once she gets past how seemingly useless the power is, Allison will accept and it figure out how to control it as best she can. ~~And then even that won't be good enough for her.~~ ]

Well, it's pretty useful. It works even on weird things -- like living ice sculptures. It just makes them stop in their tracks when they're attacking you.

...did I hear you correctly? Did you just say living ice sculptures? [ The rest of it registered but that's sort of the most important thing she took away from what the other girl just said, apparently. ]

Oh, you know of him as well? He's in dire need of manners, that one, but he's not entirely awful.
