[The video feeds starts up, showing a girl with electric blue eyes, freckles across her nose and black hair. She's muttering something, as if not aware that the bracelet is now on.]

As if I don’t have enough to do… I still need to talk with Annabeth and let her know what has happened, and rendezvous with Jason… Nor can I reach any of the Hunters…

[So…

But her eyes flicker down, and her brow furrows. She appears determined and annoyed as she gives what can only be described as an evil glare to the thing she is holding, and when she finally speaks, her voice holds her impatience.]

What now? Is this your idea of a joke, Hera? Some sort of revenge? [Mumbling.] You really are a loose cannon. But all this stuff about Norse Gods...

[Her eyes narrow. Then again, it doesn’t really seem like something Hera would do. Doesn’t mean Thalia is going to sing the goddess any praises or even like her any more so than usual- which was zilch.]

Listen. I’m not sure if this is some joke, or if something has happened again… But I need to know where I am and what’s going on. The real story. And for any listening, this is Thalia. Can any other Hunters hear me? I need you to check in as soon as possible.

[ are you ready for this misunderstanding here thalia cause it's gonna be pretty great. ]

Hunters?

video;

[hunteresse]

[Not a face that she recognizes, so she'll be keeping it vague.]

That's right.

[swedge]

So you're a hunter?

video;

[hunteresse]

Why, are you?

video;

[swedge]

Depends. Are you?

[video]

[unrestrained]

[...Well, this is one thing unexpected and he's not sure what to say at first but settles.]

Well, you got the first step of kidnapping 101 down: blaming the gods. But this time it's definitely the wrong gods. [A beat.] And I don't think the hunters are here. [Important parts down. But he hasn't seen Thalia in a while and can only guess, soo...]

[video]

[hunteresse]

Percy?

[If she sounds surprised, that is because she is.

After all, said demigod has been missing.

And said demigod has some explaining to do. But first.]

You're saying it's actually Norse Gods?

[video]

[unrestrained]

[That would be a slight wave. A very awkward slight wave.] Yep, and they're way more friendly then our gods and almost less prone to blowing things up.

[video]

[hunteresse]

[And that would be her eyes narrowing even further in return.]

So you didn't have enough and needed to find some Norse Gods to hang out with?

[divinewisdom]

[ She hears her name -- that voice. When she turns on the video, she's grinning. Definitely looks better than she has in...months? Much happier. ]

Thalia! Welcome to Asgard. I haven't seen any of the Hunters here, unless they've been laying low.

video

[hunteresse]

Annabeth? [Indeed, much happier, which throws Thalia for a bit of a loop.

The last time she had seen her friend, she had been stressed out about Percy's disappearance. And it does make Thalia's frown deepen in turn.]

Okay. So creepy faceless people said the same thing. But, Asgard. You can't be serious.

video

[divinewisdom]

[ She nods. ]

I'm super serious. This entire place is controlled by the Norse gods. Percy's here -- and Leo? That makes four of us so far that I've seen.

The gods pulled us here to help fight in their war. But they had to seal away our powers, and gave us new ones in compensation.

video

[hunteresse]

You're certain that's all?

[The last time she had seen Leo, her brother had been there, along with her Hunters and the other girl, Piper.

Then how were they chosen, and why?]

Right, because there was nothing that I wanted more than to fight some other Gods' war.

[mccallmemaybe]

[ Someone else is also focusing on the "hunters" part of her introduction. ]

What kind of hunters?

video;

[hunteresse]

[Given that he looks and sounds like a guy.]

No hunters you have ever heard of or seen.

video;

[mccallmemaybe]

What makes you think that?

[hunteresse]

It's a select group.

Welcome to Asgard, Thalia-san.

This world is known as such, and all the information provided to you by the maid from the castle and Loki-kami-sama's guide are all truthful and valid information.

As for your acquaintances, you can search for their names in the contact list once the network returns to its proper working order. Right now, there are currently technical difficulties due to the previous attack onto the city from the Frost giants. I am uncertain over the full capacity the bracelets will currently offer you

[Then he tries to think of more information to offer her.]

The deities you are used to are not within this realm. At the very least, they would not be in their deity forms, but have been transformed as close to humans as they can be. They would not be very much a threat to you as the ones in charge are really the patrons of this world.

I do hope the information I have offered you is to your satisfaction.

video;

[hunteresse]

You'll forgive me if I don't just accept the word of someone working for the people- or Gods- that kidnapped me, let alone a stranger.

[Even if he was a thorough and well spoken stranger.]

audio;

[discrepant]

[A good-nature chuckle will escape his lips.]

No. You have every right to not believe those within this world while carefully choosing whom to trust that are in the same predicament as you are. But with time, once you learn more over this world and its rules, then you will begin to realize which information is accurate and which aren't.

[He will offer her some time to process the thought until he allows his voice to turn a little warmer and sympathetic.]

I do hope, for how long you stay, that you will somewhat enjoy your time by creating as many close acquaintances as you can. I assure you that your time is not permanent, sooner or later you will return home without realizing you even left.

video;

[hunteresse]

So then some of the information isn't accurate.

[Not that she's believing everything at face value.

Rather, she's going to remember it and see for herself.]

You'll excuse me if I want my 'stay' to be as short as possible.

[video]

[not_a_troll]

Shall I give you a handy-dandy step-by-step description of what is going on?

[Loki smiles and nods, deciding that he is, indeed, going to give this girl one of those handy-dandy descriptions.]

This is Asgard, or Other Asgard, realm of a brand of particulary lazy Norse gods. And I know when Norse gods are lazy since I am a Norse god myself. Albeit not a lazy one.

We are stuck here and our purpose is to cure Other Asgard's denizens from the grey malady. In the meanwhile we also fight their war. Definitely not exciting.

Zeus' wife has nothing to do with this, I am afraid.

[video]

[hunteresse]

[So, either he is crazy. Or he is telling the truth. Right about now, she is leaning more towards crazy, although those wheels are turning in her head.]

And you are?

[video]

[not_a_troll]

Loki. And you are Thalia. And you are looking for your hunters. Since they are amiss.

And where does Hera from the Greek pantheon of gods come in?

[video]

[hunteresse]

Hera, hopefully, comes in no where.

[A certain glint in her eyes, not exactly hiding her feelings towards that particular Goddess.]
