[ So there is one (1) strawberry blonde girl who looks rather casually lounged out. Looks it, at least. She's still uncomfortable about being there, and her room is nothing compared to being at home, and it's all a little creepy, so there's nothing quite so comfortable about Lydia - minus her front. It's a good poker face

She leaves the video hanging for a moment before she speaks, carefully choosing her words, and perhaps adjusting her already perfect hair a little ]

You know, if I'd been invited this might have been a nice vacation. Might have. [ Her friends might be here but arriving without them, and rather confused, was not her idea of nice. Or ideal ] I suppose it could feel like Europe.

Though as much as I'd like to deny all of this [ and believe her, she's tried ] apparently I can't. [ Although she might still try... or just ignore what she can ] Sadly. This is not how I was hoping this year would go.

So. Kidnapping Gods and wild stories aside... I need to shop. We need to shop. [ Allison, that was your invitation. And yes, she's not even been here 24 hours and she already needs to shop. Coping at its finest ] And see somewhere a little more... tasteful. [ Or pretty and sparkly. She doesn't quite want to explore but she would like to know her way around ]

Please tell me there's more than the lame tourist gifts. [ Like actual shops. And clothes. Prada would be nice, too. And feel free to suggest a shop. There's only a 75% chance she'll ignore it ]

[ Allison just looks mildly amused. ] When are you wanting to go?

[intelligently]

[ Oh, good ] The sooner the better.

[gymnast]

Alright. [ She should be able to do that. ] But you only just got here a little while ago. Do you have any money to spend? [ Allison wouldn't mind buying her some stuff, but she can't spend as much as Lydia would be used to, unfortunately. Even working two different jobs. ]

Shopaholic?

[ He's not looking down on her for wanting to shop. Everyone has their hobbies. Sam's happens to be macaroni art. ]

[intelligently]

Or just needing to actually own clothes. I didn't exactly get to pack.

[whitechocolate]

I don't think anyone did... Wish they'd given us a chance so we could have packed personal items. [ Like a family photo or something. ]

[ but very much noting your presence, lydia. and he's not really happy about it. B( resurrecting his dead uncle kind of does that. ]

[gymnast]

[ No one asked for your opinion on the matter, Derek, and no one cares about it, either. ]

( not here )

[predators]

[ in that case you can have his lovely opinion all the more, both of you. ]

Hold on, let me get this straight. You've been kidnapped, God only knows what was done to your body to give you some strange power, and then you were shuffled out to a weird house you'd only find in a movie... And all you're worried about is shopping?

[Blaine might have been ready to scout out the nearest Gap and figure out where he could get his hands on some CoverBoy gel, but it wasn't the first thing out of his mouth.]

[intelligently]

No. [ Fortunately Lydia had already spoken to people that had made her (sort of) believe what this was. Although if she hadn't this probably would have been one of the first things she'd asked about after getting the rest of it ] It's just the only thing I can control. And I need to be able to wear something, do you run around in the same thing every day?

video; this isn't totally late nope

[hairgels]

Come on, that's not true at all. There's plenty you can still control!

Think about it, you have that new power and only you can decide whether or not you're actually going to listen to a word I say. Besides, it's a proven fact that shop therapy only leads to high-interest payday loans or closet hoarding.

[wasthemaster]

This is absolutely nothing like Europe. [Says the British boy.] Nice try though.

[intelligently]

And I'm sure that you've seen all of England. [ She's had enough bubbles burst already lately :c ]

[wasthemaster]

A good majority of it. Asgard's hardly impressive in comparison. [Sorry Lydia that is just what he does :(]

video;

[scarygirl]

This is Asgard. I do not think the gods have ever, or will ever, care to shop.

[She's one back home and she doesn't really see the appeal.]

video;

[intelligently]

Then they should think about it for whoever they kidnap. We're not all gods.

video;

[scarygirl]

Did you try telling them that?

[Video]

[dragonspeak]

[Merlin assumes wrongly that when she says "shop" she actually means "shop for supplies". You know. The essential stuff.]

What did you need? The city's confusing at first, but I can probably show you where to find what you're looking for.

[Also he just needs a distraction.]

[Video]

[intelligently]

[ Well he's kind of cute ] Clothes, shoes. Probably a new purse.

[Video]

[dragonspeak]

Clothes...? [Okay...not really the answer he was expecting.]

You didn't see the closets in your Welcome Hall?

[freezerburned]

oh hey lydia

still crazy?

voice; butting in before I leave

[mccallmemaybe]

Isaac.

[ don't be rude, bro. at least call her crazy behind her back like the rest of them do! ]

voice; LMFAO

[freezerburned]

It's a genuine question.

[No, Isaac. It's not.]

text.

[intelligently]

Still a nice person? Oh, wait. [ You better be imagining her tone there, Isaac. It needs the full effect ]
