[Today, you're getting a new face on the network, Asgard. A teenage girl, no older than eighteen, one who clearly doesn't put much effort into style or glamor; amongst many things, her hair is somewhat in disarray, as a result of the number of times she's run her hands through it. There's a hesitation before she speaks.]

I guess someone has the power to make the rain disappear.

[... No, Bella. Just stop while you're ahead. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

She continues after a pause.]

So they were pretty vague on the whole... power thing when I got here. [Another pause; it's obvious that public speaking isn't her forte] I was wondering if there was some sort of library. Or anywhere I could find more information.

[She almost leaves it at that, but then changes her mind right at the last second. As awkward as this is, she figures she should introduce herself. Once is better than over and over, right?]

I'm Bella, by the way. Bella Swan.

[There's a grunt on the other end. The voice has a scratchy, tired and coarse quality to it, like the person who was speaking was either exhausted or had been crying.

Eridan she could deal with... new kids were harder. This one, at least sounded almost sensible. Maybe.]

Odin district. Ask around, it's easy to find once you're there. There should be a map accessible through your bracelet or something nearby. I can't remember anymore. Been walking these streets and using my own map for a while.

Rain's pretty much normal around here. Comes and goes, and it's usually dry.

[The perception that she's almost sensible may have some accuracy to it. At least until she gets in the presence of someone named Edward Cullen. Then, anything remotely resembling... sensibility has a tendency to fly out the proverbial window.

But anyway.]

Better than where I come from. It's always raining there.

[A pause; her speech is generally full of them]

And thank you.

Sounds like Oregon. Hated that damned place. Never stopped raining over there, and it smelled like trees. Reminded me too much of home.

Not a problem. If you see some gray-skinned joker with fins on his head and yellow horns hiding inside a book fort, kick his ass and tell him to get the hell out of there, would you? I've got too much on my plate to bother with it personally.

Library is in the Odin district - The maid should have given you a map when she was telling you about things. It looks kind of like a pie chart, I know, but it really is a map. You won't find any information on this world there, though. It's unfortunate, but the Gods don't tell us much.

There are some guides written by travellers, though. I'll link them here.

Here's Conan Edogawa's Guide to the city
Here's Sam Winchester's guide to the Gods

I'm Hisao Nakai, by the way. Welcome to Asgard.

[Yeah, about that map. Bella kind of dropped it into a puddle in the middle of a torrential downpour. But we don't have to talk about that.

... Switching over to text mode (thank god, this is somewhat less awkward)...]

Thanks. This is helpful.

To make the rain stop? I like the rain, though.

I'm Inoue Orihime! It's nice to meet you, Bella-san!

[There's the shortest of laughs, followed by a small smile. It's nice to meet you too, Orihime!]

Can't say I've ever been much of a fan.

The others pointed it out, but the library is located in the Odin district. It won't be hard to notice, since it's the largest building in the area. However, as Hisao pointed out- there are no informations about Asgard situated there. They're locked from us travellers for some reason. [ "Probably because they don't trust us." What irony. ]

May I ask what power you have been given? My name is Hanako Ikezawa, by the way.

[This is pretty much in keeping with what she's seen from these... "gods" so far. Just means anything she wants to know is going to be harder to get. But this isn't the first time she's encountered a tough secret.

On the other end, though she can't be seen on this mode, she nods her understanding. An understanding, along with what may be the beginnings of some kind of resolve.]

Nice to meet you. [And, after a pause...] They said it was... energy transfer. [Definitely not the most clear-cut of powers]

[Audio]

It seems that you've already been told where the library is, so I won't repeat the information. That said, you won't find much there in the way of answers for this city or our situation. The selection otherwise is excellent, but our gods seem to have chosen to keep us in the dark as much as possible. [a beat, then a warm smile] However, if you have any questions, I would be more than happy to answer them if I can, Bella.

[Well, at any rate, it'd been worth a shot.]

Thanks.

[There is something about that smile, though, that's reassuring, despite herself and the situation she's been thrown into. In response, one of her own appears for about half a second before fading away again.]

Any chance I might find Bronte somewhere in there? [Yes, she's read Wuthering Heights about a million times. But...]

[Snort.]

Don't get too comfortable.

Rain'll be the least of your worries here.

[To be honest, it usually is]

I don't know. Sometimes it can be... kind of dangerous. [Mostly to the uncoordinated]

There's a library in the Odin district... It's nice and quiet. [ her voice is shy and quiet as she tentatively adds: ] Um... I know some things, too, if you want information...

[Nice and quiet. Sounds perfect. She'll be spending some good, quality time there.]

Thanks. Anything would be great.

[voice]

hazukashii - 2012-09-16 03:31 (UTC) - Expand

Well, since you've already been told about where the library is, welcome to Asgard. Apparently we're here to fight a god war. Enjoy your stay.

So I've heard.

[Something that even she thinks sounds a little farfetched, despite her comfort and familiarity with weird. On her end, though it can't be seen, there's a small, hesitant smile, one that has a hint of that still lingering incredulity.]

And thanks.

You know, I never thought about the library. [ And she's been doing a lot of reading here herself. Just not that kind of reason ]

I didn't think I'd get anywhere with Google.

[Time to go old school, right?]

There's a huge library in Odin. You'll probably bump into my girlfriend Allison there. She's been trying to find out information too. She's really nice, I'm sure she'd keep you company. [ This is Scott. He talks about Allison a lot. ]

[So the mention of the word "girlfriend" kind of makes Bella internally wince a little bit. Because Sparkles left her in a forest and her life was over and she's kind of still not over it. Yep. And it always seems like couples are everywhere around her now. But.

ANYWAY.]

Has she found anything so far?

video; sparkles.. lmao

mccallmemaybe - 2012-09-18 16:14 (UTC) - Expand

Well, uh, as others have mentioned there is a nice library in Odin, with, lots of books, on the subject. But, there is also a guide, somewhere, that details powers, among other things.

[Gosh, you all are so welcoming and informative! She's kind of reeling at the number of responses she's gotten, like she was at the response during her first day at Forks High]

Do you know where the guide is?

video.

[ Allison's not the type to spy on posts from people she doesn't know, so she doesn't realize that Scott's already talking about her to Bella. (Though honestly, she won't be surprised when she finds out.) ]

There's a library in Odin district, but I haven't found anything useful yet. It seems like all of the books so far are about or from places that aren't Asgard. [ Go figure, right? ] And I'm Allison. Welcome to Asgard, Bella.

[ Oh, hey... doesn't she know you? ] You'd think after doing all of... this [ Kidnapping, stealing powers (to some) and giving others ] that they'd be a little more forthcoming.
