[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.

Ugh, yeah. You're going to want to watch yourself around some of the folks here. They dragged in a pretty mixed bunch to this shindig, myself included. As a heads up, if I get flirty... run. Just don't ask questions and run. I'm a little like Doc Jekkyl and Ms Hyde sometimes.

[Here's the thing about Bella. Warnings typically don't work on her. Even after being warned numerous times, and by the person in question himself, she still wouldn't stay away. Because he wasn't a monster, no matter what he told her.

But almost on cue, a voice from her memories floats to the forefront of her mind. "I'm no good for you, Bella." It comes a little more readily to her than it had prior to that night in Port Angeles, just before she'd found herself here. Instinctively, she winces slightly, but then...

... She simply looks up with a smile. If she thinks anything about this is ominous, she doesn't show it.]

I'll keep that in mind.

Good. [No clue about all that extra baggage this one came with. she'd be more than a little wigged out and try to avoid Bella if she was... but at the same time, that would just egg her on potentially if it came up.] Well, welcome to Asgard either way. There anything I can do for you, other than tell you about the local library?
