first hunt ; video

[argentum]

I guess we're just supposed to forget about the duties we have back home? But if the Gods and Goddesses really are our patriarchs and matriarchs, I suppose their duties are that much more important.

[ Chris snorted. The video feed kicked on to show a man in his early 40’s, background to a room in the Heimdall residence. It felt a little ridiculous, treating this bracelet like a cell but it was at least simple enough to use, and he knew how it worked after Scott showed him. He was quiet after, staring thoughtfully with a tight frown – trying to choose the rest of his questions and words. If anything, with a broadcast he had a chance to find out who else from Beacon Hills was there, since neither Allison nor Scott divulged a full list of names to him. To protect a few of their friends, maybe. ]

This network is supposed to be used for information, right? My daughter suggested I look around here to get information for any questions she might not have had the answers to.

[ It was a good enough reason as any to follow it - keeping track of it just to be social didn't sound appealing. ]

So, tell me something.

Is it normal for supernatural creatures to become human in this place?

Comments

[counterbalanced]

If, by supernatural, you mean certain abilities, then the answer is "yes". It's supposedly for our own safety.

[argentum]

I was thinking more along the lines of monsters.

[NOT HERE YET]

[bitofajerk]

[ But really? HAVE THE GODS JUST STARTED TROLLING NOW??? Who's next? The weird Alpha coming back from the dead?

(the irony of which would remain lost on him)

But yeah, he'll just be stalking and watching for now. He's not exactly eager to be wall-slammed yet. ]

[argentum]

[ you can't avoid the wall-slamming forever, Jackson. you're in desperate need of a why your life choices suck speech. ]

[holmes_fanatic]

I wouldn't say 'human.' Enough non-human tissue samples have come by the hospital labs that it's clear that whatever the gods do to us, it's not turn people human. Freyr-san described it as converting us to the energies of this place.

[argentum]

So they're still not natural, then? Great. That sounds really promising.

[ It didn’t, actually. ]

Does that change apply to everyone else?

[histories]

Ah, yes. There was a dragon that had turned human when he arrived here, and personally, I had been a half-beast prior to arriving here as well.

Still, this does not seem to apply for very specific cases, as we have seen so far.

[argentum]

[ there's a skeptical quirk given to the mention of the dragon, but the half-beast part catches his interest. ]

Half beast? Like a shifter?

What cases haven't these restrictions applied to?

[likeanerve]

[Uuuuuuh.]

Supernatural creatures. Like, for example...?

[argentum]

Like a werewolf.

Call it a personal interest. I’ve been wondering if supernatural creatures here really do lose the unnatural aspects of themselves, or if they’re just – suppressed.

[gymnast]

That's really the only question you want to ask? [ Allison's worried that this will end horribly. ]

Re: video;

[argentum]

It's the only major one I have on my mind.

[ pfft, Allison. there's no way this'll end horribly, are you kidding. Derek and all of the other wolves will totally love Chris potentially bringing unwanted attention to them.]

Something you need, Allison?

[video]

[extraordinarymuse]

The network is definitely helpful if you're information-searching. There are also guides and things for basic things.

[You'll have to excuse Kate - her tone is a little rehearsed and she's a little distracted with the paperwork at her desk. But after that first comment, she looks up at the video.]

And yes, from what people have said, anyone with powers or 'supernatural abilities' before coming here lost them. If you want to call that becoming human.

[argentum]

I think I've got most of the basics down. My daughter and her...[ Chris grimaced, there, his expression incredibly sour at the acknowledgement ] boyfriend filled me in when I got here.

[ yup, he still disapproved of Scott dating Allison, even with the whole...time line differences. He was hoping it’d be one thing he wouldn’t have to worry about after Allison broke up with Scott in his time. ]

But I guess the guides couldn't hurt. You know where I could find them?

video because he's too scared of you

[notscared]

Why, are you jonesing to kill someone already?

[Bitter? What? What's that, I don't know.]

[argentum]

Stiles.

[ now that comment just earns a frown. ]

No, I'm just looking to see if there's any truth to what Scott said, or if it's just a temporary thing to watch out for. I do have a Code. I’m not going to stop following it, here.

NOT HERE

[gymnast]

[ But really, Stiles? You had to ask that kind of thing over AN OPEN FEED ON THE NETWORK? Or, you know, in general? ]

[ video ]

[pratentious]

It is not only normal but a requisite. I have witnessed both one whose supernatural form was stripped of her, and another whose was returned for the sake of establishing the point that it must be done.

[argentum]

Sounds a bit excessive, if they let them die, but I guess it gets the point across. Necessary evil?

[ frowning. he doesn't really sound like he approves. ]

[whitelighting]

God I hope so. [ Did she say that out loud? Oops. But if she had to lose her powers (yes, she's still bitter about that) then she hoped that any demons or... whatever else could be here (especially things that she'd faced, she wouldn't like to face them without her magic) had to have that too ]

video;

[argentum]

It’d be nice to know for sure that they weren’t a threat, wouldn’t it be? It seems like this place has enough dangers already.

[ he didn't look too annoyed, at least. maybe a bit amused. ]

[happybride]

What kind of supernatural creatures?

[argentum]

Shifters, werewolves. It's a bit of a...personal interest of mine, I guess.

[onlyserves]

No. I do not believe there is any need to seize from completing the duties from your homeworld while you are within this world. The generous patrons of this world do not mind if you work on other endeavors. After all, they simply wish for your emotions to paint color to the city. Whatever action you do will always have an emotion attached to it.

[There will be a bit of silence as he wonder a bit more over the other's words. He could not help wonder if the older gentlemen was an agent, bodyguard, or some sort of security. His earlier words gave him that odd impression.]

Yes. It is common for supernatural creatures to take on a human form. So far, only our kind patrons are able to do so. We have not yet been given the chance to meet with those in the other kingdoms. [Well.] Except for the elf one, of course.

[Then he can't help wonder about his question. Was he not used to it? In his world, it was common for Atavists, half demons, to have both a human form and a demon form. But for the time being, he will not ask him about it. Instead he will take the role of being a kind samaritan.]

If you have any further inquiries regarding this world, I will do my utmost to answer them as best as I can. It would seem you have a few more questions to ask. Correct?

[argentum]

[ Well, all Chris was used to at the most was werewolves, and Chris didn't know what to make of the wolves he knew from back home having that unnatural aspect of themselves stripped from them completely. Were they completely normal, now? Did the moon in Asgard have no effect on any of them? Were they still a threat, or did they really not need to be watched over? ]

You're a surprisingly helpful bunch, so I've gotten covered a lot more than I expected to. I guess my question might’ve sounded a bit vague – but what I was trying to find information to was whether or not a supernatural beings’, well, unnatural side was completely restrained here. Cut off from them.

[ Chris gave him a wry smile. ]

Seems to be a mixed case. I'm not sure there'll be much of a call for my duties here.

video.

[repulsors]

[ Yeah, looks like everyone else is only focusing on the one part. Which, maybe it's the most important, but hey. What is Tony, if not thorough. ]

Yeah, funny thing about being here? Time back home stops. For us, at least. I've learned that there are apparently multiple time streams. My assistant [ Oh hell, that's right, he's got to find Pepper— ] remembered dropping me off at a meeting, I remembered the meeting and the day after. Weird, right? So anything you've got going back home? On pause. Don't worry, it'll be right where you left it.

[ Never mind that it annoys him that he's being forced to take a vacation - he likes his vacations on his time and by his say-so. Well. He did just save the world. Maybe he can take a break. ]

Anyway, to answer your question - yeah, it's normal. Whatever you got, it's pretty much human now. Aside from these..stupid powers the "Gods" have decided we need. You're human, I'm human, your next door neighbor is human.

[argentum]

That's something I figured out pretty quickly. My daughter didn't remember things she should have, and I thought it was strange she was here before I was.

[ Chris frowned. He managed to at least dodge the subject of Victoria’s death for now – even if it might not have been fair to keep it from her. He knew she wouldn’t be happy he did, but he didn’t want to see his daughter go through that pain all over again. It was still a fresh wound for the both of them, in his time – but not for her here. ]

These powers. Are we stuck with them?

[predators]

[ derek watches this all unfold for a while before deciding to finally make his move. clearly chris argent already knows about the limitations asgard places on its not-quite-human travelers -- must have gotten the details form allison. hopefully she didn't spill any names where his betas are concerned. ]

I wouldn't say human. [ because that's insulting, okay. ]

[argentum]

Derek. Just the man I wanted to see.

I guess human is debatable. After all, you were born an animal.

[ He taunted Derek with a smile. ]

Can't transform, can't..."wolf out". [ Scott's words, not his. ]

Does the full moon still affect you here?
