For the sake of humoring me, I wonder if anyone can answer a few questions. Although if they aren't answered, I suppose that is fine and good. This would not be the first time I have found myself in a situation dripping of irony with the luck I have.

So I am not the only one who can... well. Shadows. Wolves? Is there some sort of symbolism behind that? How is it that my "house mates" and myself are able to do such a thing when Hel has left Asgard with the others?

[Alice looks a little irritated, pulling out her trademark vorpal blade, running her fingers over it.]

Why weren't we able to have these... abilities magnified in battle? I am not particularly flattered when any type of enemy gets too close and a blade like this can only do so much.

And my ability to care can only go so far.

Maybe we're all lone wolves, close to death.

And I'd like to know as much as you. 'Course, all that power to keep us going would just be too useful, wouldn't it?

[digophelia]

Everyone in Hel's house? What about the others from the other district?

[Or maybe she's thinking about this too hard. It keeps her busy, at least.]

Why would it be too useful? I thought they wanted us to help them and to succeed.

[fantastix]

Just Hel, I think.

And maybe they're worried about an uprising.

[digophelia]

With all we can do, at this very moment, arguably we could create an uprising right now. But even then, could we even?

[Oh, a house mate.]

So, you are in House Hel too, my Lady? I must admit I am more partial to dragons than to wolves, but I am intrigued as well.

•´¯`• video •´¯`•

[digophelia]

Yes. Unfortunately? Or would it be fortunately...

And I myself much prefer cats.

[silverkhaleesi]

I would hope someone from Hel would tell me if this is good or bad news for those who live there...

[As long as they aren't lions...] Is there a symbol for each House?

[digophelia]

I would dare not venture to say it would be either, more like it would depend on what an individual choose to do with this news. To tread with caution.

Ah. To my knowledge, no, not in the sense that wolves belong to Hel or cats belong to Freya. Perhaps in the original myths, but not with the houses of Asgard.

[burping]

What are you able to do?

[digophelia]

I only tried it once prior before Freyr returned. Some of us are able to use shadows, as in, control them. But now it seems the shadows take the form of wolves and can go at a longer distance and we don't have to solely rely on light.

[better]

I thought it was something they gave us, not something they are being a source for.

[digophelia]

I have a feeling that it won't last that very long.

voice ||

[better]

Just in general or what's going on right now?

voice ||

[digophelia]

Yes. It's far too simple... too easy. They left us with abilities that some of us never had before.

[justonetouch]

[Being new to her powers...] Shadow wolves?

[digophelia]

Yes. It wasn't like this before. Beforehand, I was able to make my shadow do other things rather than follow me.

[justonetouch]

Ah can't even do that.

[Although that does sound interesting...]

[digophelia]

Which house did they place you in?

[integrous]

It's the gods are idiots, of course! If they were smart, they would've let people just keep their powers from back home in this place. Then the battles would be nothing.

[ Not that Asahi has particularly strong powers, but she sure knows people who do. ]

[digophelia]

They may be idiots or they may have a twisted sense of humor.

[integrous]

"Humor"?! Why would any of that be funny? They're making us work while they're just sitting back..!

[digophelia]

Perhaps living for all eternity must create something in them where they find suffering and struggle deeply amusing. Who is to say. But I retract what I said -- they cannot be idiots, they know what they do. After all, they constructed all of this.

[As in, Asgard, as a whole.]

[womanfromacre]

[Okay this is her first time trying to use this thing after vaguely having it explained to her... here goes nothing.

And she's apparently broadcasting upside down, unbeknownst to her. Oh well.]

I can't say I know much on the matter of these so-called abilities we're supposed to have been granted, but a blade like that should certainly manage to do something.

[video]

[digophelia]

With a knife? It works better when things aren't towering over me. Your bracelet-

[Being that Alice has her moments of childishness and curiosity, even Alice attempts to look at her from an upside down angle.]

[video]

[womanfromacre]

That is a defeatist attitude if ever I heard one. You'd be able to land a lethal puncture to the liver or spleen with a blade half that size, it's simply a question of knowing-

[She frowns, interrupting what is about to be a very in depth discussion on wounding people fatally with stiletto blades in order to address the inquiry about her bracelet.]

What about my bracelet? Is it not working as it ought?
