One. [ video ]

[divinewisdom]

[ The video turns on and Annabeth gives a small wave at the camera; she looks pretty excited for whatever reason. ]

Hi. My name's Annabeth Chase -- and I know I'm not the first, but I'm another person that's been brought here permanently after I arrived for the celebration.

But I was reading the welcome...uh, drawing? And I wasn't really satisfied by the answers. Can anyone tell me a little bit more about this place and the gods? Where I come from, we don't really have these same gods. [ You know, being a daughter of a Greek goddess and how the Greek pantheon is a thing. ] Any help you'd like to give would be really appreciated. Or maybe just tell me where I can go to find out some more -- I looked in the library, but it's so huge. I might have missed something.

Also if I'm going to be living here, I should probably help out. What's there to do around here? Jobs and stuff? I'd offer up my services as an architect, but you usually need some capital before you can build anything...

--Oh and Seaweed Brain, you'd better message me when you see this. Thanks!

[He's not going to mention how relieved he is to see this. Or worried. Or anything else. Instead he raises a brow at that last part and gives his usual grin.]

Did you just thank me?

[divinewisdom]

[ She raises a single eyebrow, because she's so happy to see him that she can't pull out the appropriate stern face to his silly reaction. ]

I was thanking everyone except you. I knew you'd show up sooner and later. And we still have to get hamburgers.

[unrestrained]

[He shrugs.] Okay. Fine. Next time I won't respond. [It's a lie but, hey.] That can be arranged.

[reaction]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down, newbie. What's the big hurry? It's really not like you get to leave if you're all productive. [ Isn't he helpful? ]

[divinewisdom]

Sorry, sorry. I don't really think it's in my nature not to ask ten things at once.

[ That and she's extremely happy not to be dead and/or dying at the bottom of a pit for the current moment. She can deal with that -- with her boyfriend -- at a later time, with more preparation. ]

What's your name?

[reaction]

Mm. That's more like it. [ This is the first newcomer he's greeted since his arrival back in the city a little over two weeks ago. One thing's for sure -- this place hasn't changed a bit. ]

I'm Damon. From the house of Loki. Where did you get chucked into?

[livedtwice]

You thought the second half was boring, too, didn't you?

voice;

[divinewisdom]

[ She laughs, a little bit. ]

A little. But only because I didn't understand the context for the story itself. I'm sure when I figure out who the main characters are it'll make more sense.

Was it really that boring for you? [ A raised eyebrow; it's a joke, clearly. ]

voice;

[livedtwice]

Very. I thought the drawings were much better.

[nukeoleptic]

[ Yesss another possible new recruit for the Highwind. ]

Hi, welcome to the city! Are you still looking for a job?

audio;

[divinewisdom]

[ She makes a noise of affirmation. ]

Yeah. I figured it couldn't hurt to jump right into being proactive. At home, I'm usually so busy. If I sit around too long, I'm going to go completely crazy.

What's your name?

[intelligently]

What do you want to know? Other than everything. [ Because everything is kind of vague. She doesn't know too much about being here, minus her reading, what she's learned and things that she already knew about this, but she can try ]

[divinewisdom]

I feel a little bit lost with the last part of the welcome story. Could you maybe explain to me what the gods are...well, what they're gods of? It might help me put the pieces together.

[Voice]

[ourfirststeps]

Oh? What kind of Gods do you have back home?

[Now she's a bit curious!]

[Voice]

[divinewisdom]

Well, I was best at knowledge about the Greek gods -- Zeus, Hera, Athena, Poseidon...

[ A pause -- no lightning? Not dead? Okay! ]

But I knew a bit about the Roman gods, too. They tend to go hand in hand because they're similar to one another.

[tradingsecrets]

Well, what do you want to know? Also Seaweed brain? That's an interesting name for someone.

[Finnick is waving at Annabeth, a small grin on his face.]

[divinewisdom]

I'd like to know what other houses outside of Odin are like. Since I can't go inside, any help would be appreciated.

[ She waves back, an eyebrow raised. ]

I gave it to him a long time ago. I swear that sometimes Percy's brain is made of seaweed, he can be so dense.

[video]

[daddyissues]

Which house are you in? That's a good place to start.

[video]

[divinewisdom]

--oh! I'm in Odin. What about you?

[silverkhaleesi]

[Dany nods her head in acknowledgment to Annabeth.]

I am Daenerys of House Targaryen. Like yourself, I was not satisfied by that mockery of an introduction. I know as of yet little about these gods, but I do know we have all been bestowed with powers.

•´¯`• video •´¯`•

[divinewisdom]

[ She nods back. ]

It's good to meet you. I'm kind of curious as to what powers everyone can get here. I know what my power is, but knowing them all might be helpful.

[scarygirl]

That depends on what you want to know. This place is rather different from how Asgard usually lives.

[divinewisdom]

'Usually lives'...you've been to Asgard before?

[Voice]

[hadbadays]

Does that mean you actually had gods where you come from?

[Voice]

[divinewisdom]

....yes? I thought every place had gods. Did your home not?
