So, this network thing's pretty cool, I have to admit. Like MySpace, only... bigger.

[ Yes, he's still from the days of MySpace. However, compared to the technology at school, Asgard's lacking.

He scratches the back of his head, unsure of what to say before he continues. ]

And I've learned a lot in the past day. [ Many terrible things to look forward to at home. However, he won't mention that now. ] Curses, gods, different worlds... Am I leaving anything out?

And, uh, I want to check something I heard. I know we get a new power while we're here.

[ It's still strange, being able to talk casually about having an ability. In his world, he was hated for being a mutant, but here... He could actually be himself. Out of everything he's experienced at Asgard, that was probably the most unbelievable. ]

But any power we might've had before... It's really true that it's gone? No way to get it back?

[ He's not asking for himself. Not really. He knows his cyrokinesis is gone, and it's a shame. He doesn't mind healing, but he misses his old ability. He'd trade back in a heartbeat.

But if Rogue arrived, she'd have a new power. He cared about her no matter what, of course, but to think that they wouldn't have to be so cautious whenever they hold hands, hug, or kiss... It's selfish to think about. He should want to return home as soon as possible, and he does. Still, he can't help but realize how nice that sounds. ]

You can get it back, maybe, but it'll make your head explode. Chothe withely.

[congeals]

[ He blinks. Was that a joke...? ]

What?

[video]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[Don't answer. Don't fall into that trap of joking with him, finely edged with cruelty but still light enough to remain in the 'boys will be boys' category. Don't do it.]

Curses, huh? Wonder how you found out about that.

[Damnit.]

[congeals]

[ His brow raises when he sees John's response. Weren't they supposed to be enemies? Then, why is he replying? Still, he has to admit he missed that expression. It reminds him of simpler times at home, which was only a few days ago for him. ]

Yeah, thanks for the heads up. [ All the sarcasm. ]

Just forgot one minor detail.

The war. You did hear about that, didn't you?

[congeals]

[ He smirks when he sees her, but it quickly fades when the topic's brought up. ]

...Right, the war. [ A sigh. From one battle to the next. ]

Your space? Are you a lord of some sort, then?

[ would that make him Tom? ]

ILU, ARTHUR - 1/2

[congeals]

[ Blink, blink ]

Um, what...?

[congeals]

[ Wait... "Your space"... MySpace. He chuckles, shaking his head. ]

Oh, uh, no. It's not a literal place. It's... [ How does he explain? ] a virtual one. Like the network.

What power did you lose, if I can ask? [Unlike Bobby, Edward's asking for himself.]

YAY, EDWARD :D

[congeals]

[ He looks slightly nervous, but he responds. ]

...I could control ice.

Apparently asking nicely or dropping a lot of PA hints doesn't work. Asking less nicely can have pretty bad side-effects depending if our thoughtful hosts happen to be listening when you ask, but general consensus seems to be get on with what you've got for now.

Personally? I think it bites.

[congeals]

I can't say I'm a fan of it either.

What was your power?

I've heard that people who have tried to get their old powers back ended up dying because of it. And not in a slow, mostly painless sort of way.

[congeals]

Yeah, that's what I've been hearing. [ A sigh. ]

Thanks.

Just the part about fighting in some sort of war against frost giants and what not, no biggy.

[congeals]

Right, that.

video.

[redhourglass]

You are correct, yes.

[ he knows what myspace is, so he must be from Earth. a little behind, but Earth is still Earth. ]

I haven't been here very long, but as far as I can tell, you're stuck with the power you have.

[congeals]

[ A nod. ] Thanks.

Did you have a power before you got here too?

[video]

[stilinski]

Dude, MySpace? Really? [Way to date yourself, bro! Stiles is smiling though, because he kinda likes it. Retro, vintage, old school, all that.

Questions about powers get him focused again, though, because that's always the fun part.]

Yep, everyone starts at square one and then gets a power from their god. Used to be a vampire? Not anymore. Used to have super human strength? You might still, but only if you're in Thor's house. Used to shoot lasers out of your nose? That'd be so cool but nope, no lasers in Asgard.

[congeals]

[ He laughs, liking this guy already. ]

Hey, what's wrong with MySpace?

And "lasers out of your nose"? Really?

Our powers are incompatible with this world. The ones given to you should be enough. [ supposedly ]

[congeals]

I don't know about enough, [ He misses his, honestly ] but I guess I can't do much about it.

The gods don't like it when people ask about their old powers.

[aka "nope, not likely you'll get it back" ]

[congeals]

[ A little girl? She even looks younger than Nakama. Why did the gods have to bring kids into this mess? ]

They haven't given you any trouble, have they?
