[ Kaworu shows up to the network with his familiar smile. What isn’t familiar, it’s his plugsuit and the headset (it’s better than showing up naked). He is currently in front of the castle, which means he is back from his canon update. ]

Hello. I have been in Asgard before, but I’m not sure how long it has been since I left. [ or who is around ] I’m still in Sigyn House and I still have my healing power. [ since he can’t grow anything, by exclusion, he gets the Healing ]

[ there is a pause, as he looks around, perhaps trying to figure out where to go. In the end, he heads towards Odin District, turning to the bracelet one last time and smiling brightly ] It’s good to be back.

[ he does like this place, a lot. And with a smile, he finally turns off the video ]

I have been at home longer than two weeks, though. I believe it was more than one month, but I'm not sure.

[ kaworu tilts his head ] Gods doesn't really "send" anyone home. Rather, they lose us. And sometimes, they manage to find us again.

[integrous]

How can they lose us? They're gods, that's ridiculous!

[ a huff. ]

[5thchild]

You will have to ask them that. I have heard it's very much like holding sand in a hand; some grains will always fall.

[integrous]

I think it's still stupid.. if they don't think they can keep us, they shouldn't collect us like this in the first place, geez..! They should be a little more responsible..

[5thchild]

Many people would say taking us from our worlds without asking is already irresponsible.

[integrous]

Exactly, I already can't stand that! But then to top it off they're just horrible in this sense too.. it's like they can't do anything right whatsoever!

[5thchild]

I think they have already much to deal with. I can't say if their actions are right or wrong, but I believe they are trying to do everything they can to save their world.

[integrous]

Saving their world is one thing, but to drag us in too is just wrong.. I mean, it's since they said if this world falls then all worlds will or whatever, but then maybe they shouldn't have started the problem here to begin with!

[5thchild]

I don't know who started the problem. [ if the giants or the gods ]

However, I do understand your frustration. I think it's natural for you to feel like that.

[integrous]

Then you understand that I want to punch them in the face, right?!

[ Maybe a little too extreme.. ]

[5thchild]

I'm not sure if I do. Why do you want to punch them?

[integrous]

There's way too many reasons by now! Every time they pull something stupid there's just another reason added to the list! [ huff. ]

[5thchild]

Do you think a punch would resolve things?

[integrous]

Sure it would! If I just punch them enough they might actually start listening to me, they won't have a choice anymore!

[5thchild]

Aha- I have to wonder about that.

[integrous]

... Why, do you think even punches wouldn't help? [ BUT THAT'S HER SOLUTION TO EVERYTHING.. ]

[5thchild]

I think that, sometimes, violence generates more violence. And the gods are known for being stubborn.

[integrous]

Well, I'm known for being stubborn too! [ At least that's true.. ] So I'm not going to back down until I've shown them exactly what I think about all this!

[5thchild]

Aren't you afraid of what they might do to you?

[integrous]

[ .. Darnit. She wants to be the brave one, but on the other hand, she's too honest to just say she isn't scared at all. ]

Someone has to do something, right? And in this case that someone has to be me.

[5thchild]

Perhaps it'd be wise to take another course of action. I understand you are angry and frustrated, and that violence seems to convey those feelings, but considering your situation and their possible advantage, maybe it'd be better to try something else.

[integrous]

Like what? "Oh, let's go write them a stern letter, they'll listen to that for sure!"

[ She huffs, crossing her arms. ]

As if! They'll still just ignore us!

[5thchild]

I think they will not listen to violence, either.

[integrous]

It's at least worth a try. Nobody has tried to hurt these gods before, right? That's the problem of this place, if nobody tries it then nobody will know whether it'd work or not!

[5thchild]

Would you listen to someone who tried to punch you?
