asgardeventide | (Day 145) One: So you delayed your intro to Asgard. Now what?

((The feed clicks on only as a result of Rose dropping her arm to the ground. Consequently, her location is exposed and... should you really be surprised? She's at the library, being a book worm and hating it just a little. Consider for a moment as you examine the video that Rose is currently surrounded by piles of books, many of which seem to contain the same theme: psychology.))

So it's called retrograde amnesia...

((For a while it stays like this, Rose lain out on the floor and looking upward. Sure the events upon her arrival have her somewhat uneasy. So many people recalled her and she couldn't remember a single one of them. It bothered her. She couldn't really handle the response she got from so many, unable to return some semblance of whoever she used to be. It made her feel... well... in adequate.

The video swirls. She figures it's time to check the network again, but when the video focuses on her face, she smirks.))

Looks like I'm busted.

((Text;))
Hello, everyone. Seems like now is a good time to finally make my lavish introduction to the network.
I suppose I could try to keep this as brief as possible given the fact that there's usually quite a litany of messages going here and there throughout the network, I wouldn't want to spam the network any further with unnecessary walls of text, otherwise referred to as a TL;DR that I'm sure none of you really want. However, I think I'm in the situation to be somewhat forgiven on the matter, seeing as I've accidentally made my situation notably more extravagant than I ever needed or wanted it to be.
I'll try to cut to the chase.
My name is Rose Lalonde and I'm somewhat new to the place. I figured it wasn't prudent that I make a network post as soon as I arrived given the fact that it seemed there were others who needed more explanations than I did upon arrival, seeing as I had the pleasure of meeting some old friends who explained most of it.
I also say "somewhat new" seeing as this isn't my first time visiting Asgard. I can't say I remember any of my previous, so if you recognize me or know my name, I wouldn't mind a little shout out. I'd love to know the tales of my previous excursions in this Nordic God wonderland.
Anyway, I'm at Odin's house, though if you're ever really trying to find me, you might have to do a little running around since I'm not there too often.

And since I have you all on the horn, I might as well ask,
Does anyone know how I might go about getting a job?

((ooc; Text/color opt out post))

[ oh somebody else from Odin House, she might as well make friends with Chuck's housemates too...!! ]

My name's Julie, hi. But what do you mean by you've been here before?

Is there any good reason for you to write like that?

Oh, sorry. I meant to say that you're far too loquacious and that your inordinate post is exorbitantly prolix.

Still with us this time around, I see. How've you been adjusting?

[ ... She figures that saying "welcome back" would be slightly ridicolous, but there's a hint of gladness to hear that her friend is here again, though without memories. ]

Hello. I am one of the people who knew you previously. My name is Hanako Ikezawa.

You have been to Asgard before and cannot remember? As for work, I'm afraid that I have also been looking for some sort of job. Perhaps we could look together?

[About a minute later.]

I almost forgot! I'm Beatrice. Beatrice Castiglioni.

Just that.
Seems that I was here for some time recently, and then the gods decided to steal me away, erase my memories, and then toss me right back here.
I'm sure they're getting an absolute kick out of it, too.

Let's just say I like to exercise my writing so I don't forget it.
But if it will help you, I can dumb it down a little.

Well enough. It's strange though, I was under the impression that war had always been happening here, apparently it's only just begun?
Surprises everywhere.

Friend or foe?

A pleasure, Beatrice.

And yes, I can't remember any of it.
I thought maybe there was something more to explaining it, though honestly?
I get this feeling that anyone of the omnipotent sort really just like lots, and lots of jokes.

But why would they do that? It doesn't solve anything. [ she's not necessarily asking rose as much as she is being frustrated ]

No, you're right, but in my experience with gods, it probably makes for a REAL good knee slapper.

((SARCASM!!!! EVERYWHERE!! /drowns in it.))

[She's texting in proper form, so he'll go ahead and do the same. Nothing wrong with using proper grammar!]

Hello! You said you've been here before?
I didn't know you could leave and come back like that.
I've only heard of people disappearing permanently...

But I'm actually texting about your question! The NPCs here are happy to hire almost anyone!
Each district has a place to work. All you have to do is talk to the owners.
Or if you want to work for other travelers, you have to talk to them directly.

[ You'll have to forgive him for the NPC comment, it's just a learned term from home. He means the natives. ]

Apparently. I'm still at about two months around here, and there's been a fair amount of fighting already, so I can't say for sure. It's not as rampant as some things were in my world, but I tend to attract trouble.

Yeah, that's what I keep hearing. [ and she thought her dad screwed with people lives ]

Like hell. I can actually understand your tawdry vocabulary unlike most people reading this.

diid anyone tell you yet that your head exploded once.

...
No. That one is actually pretty new to the list of things I did at some point but will never recall.

[Woah, woah, woah, woah. Not cool. Definitely not cool. ~~This upsets him way more than it upsets Rose, but that is still so not cool.~~]

What the hell is wrong with you?!

Call me a special case, I guess.

NPCs meaning the locals, I figure.

((Yes video game lingo; she knows this well.))

[ Okay he's bored and he actually might love this girl (so sensible!!!!) so he'll chime in with no ulterior motive for once. ]

I doubt they'd hire someone with amnesia.

...

But I also doubt that's what it is. Someone say you'd been here before?

It's a same I lost my memories with all of this going on, I wouldn't mind having the full story on all this.

Alright, I'll try to keep my manner of writing to something a little more eloquent for your benefit.
Though I wouldn't put it past the other partakers in this as too dimwitted to understand the message itself.

Unless, of course, they really are dimwitted, which I doubt they'd be attracted by the message.

I'm not sure if that should come as a relief or a concern.
Then again, I should probably realize they're screwing with us all, one way or another.

I dyed your hair purple once.

[And he will just be casually avoiding the topic of exploding heads while raging at Sollux privately for bringing it up in the first place.

[At least he won't be the one to have to explain it to her, but still...]
