NPC POST - VIDEO

[asgardsflight]

[ When the feed clicks on, there is a face tilted very close to the feed, peering in too close to make sure it's working. He pulls back with a bright grin and shouts over his shoulder. ]

Mimir, Mimir! Look what Little Loki made, isn't this great? Come say hello to our Travellers!

[ Another man - Mimir - gives a soft huff offscreen before coming over and sitting beside the first. His expression is much more calm and composed, but he still effects a polite enough smile while the other slips away from the screen. ]

Hello, Travellers. Please forgive Honir's excitement. It's been a very long time since either of us have been to our home here in Asgard, and- [ - Mimir stops with a startled ah as hands appear over his head, snapping a pair of cat ears across his hair. Honir pops his head over Mimir's shoulder, wearing his own pair of mouse ears. ]

Now we're a pair, see?

Honir ...

I want to see you dressed up too, Asgard! [ His excitement dims just a little to something more somber, but still sweet. ] We know things have been hard lately, and I'm sorry we weren't here to help. So for the next few days, we're going to honour you guys as the heroes you are with a festival in the castle courtyard. Come shake off the Ice Queen's nasty influence with a bit of fun with us tomorrow!

[ Mimir starts to speak again, just as Honir grins cheekily and lifts his hand to scritch behind the furry cat ears. With a resigned sigh that is only about sixty percent authentic, he concludes: ]

We look forward to seeing all of you out there.

[ OOC: This is the IC kick-off to the October festival! Details on the event can be found here and the log will go up on the 8th! ]

A costume party? [ She laughs, if not a little tersely. ] Well, you guys certainly know how to liven the mood.

video.

[asgardsflight]

Sometimes it can be healthy to get away from yourself for a little while, you know? And it's fun to see what people to dress up as!

[ Yeah, he's still wearing his mouse ears. ]

[sexyoldgirl]

[The TARDIS gives them both a fond smile.]

I see you two decided to pay us a visit this time.

video.

[asgardsflight]

[ Ah! He remembers you! ]

How could we ever be satisfied with only meeting a handful of you when there's so much to see?

video;

[sicarius]

[These... have to be the most unusual pair of gods he's met thus far. Which is highly intriguing. And Honir's attitude is contagious.]

Costumes, messere? For what, exactly?

video;

[asgardstactics]

A festival. Now that the city is quiet again -- little more would rankle Thiazi than to know her ugly trick hasn't broken the city's spirit. [ Also because Honir wanted a party. S i g h. ]

[video]

[iamaplague]

Festival? Oh that sounds like fun. What kind of festival is this?

[video]

[asgardsflight]

It's one specially made for you. I made sure everyone will come to see you!

[video]

[yggdrasilvips]

My goodness. There goes the neighborhood.

[Do you see the fondness lighting her eyes? Do you see it?!]

[video]

[asgardsflight]

Don't be silly, we just brought it back!

[ For the first time since you were itty bitty adorable, Skuld! ]

Video

[fredless]

[She can't help it, the curiosity is bubbling up again]


Just how much 'seeing' are we talking about?

Video

[asgardstactics]

At the festival. Honir has babbled about nothing but meeting the lot of you since we decided to make the trip here.

[sheloves]

Your ears look lovely, both. Perhaps I will make wings and attempt to make traditional ancient Antedan ceremony garb. Thank-you for the honor. Shall I be on the watch for something in particular that you might recommend?

[asgardstactics]

In particular? No, but we strive to have something for everyone there. [ 'After what this city went through last week, it's the least that we can do.' ] That remains utterly unsaid, but it's there, somewhere, in his shuttered and mostly neutral expression. ]

[Video]

[2cool4guardian]

[Jack laughs at... well, the whole thing. Fuck yeah, the cool god is in.]

So we're getting the Asgard version of Halloween? Count me in.

[Video]

[asgardstactics]

[ Mimir considers Jack for a moment, before he chuckles very softly under his breath. ]

I'll trust you not to get caught up in any more fights in the courtyard, then?

[video]

[averagemedium]

[Oh, the ear thing's adorable- but that isn't the only reason his smile's so wide. That kind of festival is so his thing, and a distraction sounds like a pretty damn good plan to him.]

Think that sounds like just the kind of thing we could use, about now. Just how much dressing-up are we talking?

[Because he is already starting to make plans.]

[video]

[asgardsflight]

As much as we can fit into the next five days. I want to see how many beautiful things you guys can come up with!

video.

[firstbeliever]

[He's still wearing his pajamas but screw it. These must be gods. And okay, Jamie might be a little disappointed they aren't growing antennae or even a different color but still...]

[Jamie gives the bracelet a skeptical look.]

Wait, it's Halloween here?

video.

[asgardsflight]

We don't have a Halloween in Yggdrasil, but we could make one up if you wanted!

[bonnypiperlad]

[There's a broad smile when Jamie turns on the feed, because it's good to see them again, but it's replaced with a slightly puzzled look at the sight of the ears - and what Honir adds after that.]

Dressed up how?

[asgardsflight]

However you want! It just can't be your normal clothes, you have to do something different.

video;

[familyissues]

A festival and a costume party? [ He scratches his jaw, but he's smiling in spite of himself. ]

Could be fun.

video;

[asgardsflight]

Will be fun. Just come and see!

[asgardsfangs]

Costumes?

[Does he have to?]

[asgardsflight]

Yes!

[ Yes! ]

video.

[livedtwice]

Er ... what do you have planned, exactly?

[Harry isn't such a sourpuss that he'll call it inappropriate, but he is hesitant still.]

video.

[asgardsflight]

Hmm, well.

[ He counts each one off on a finger, staring up at the ceiling to try and remember. ]

First we're just going to say hello and meet everyone. Then we'll be bringing some things from home, and then we'll be giving you gifts. Oh, and the ball! There will be a ball, at the end.

[trustexercises]

Well, well, look who's here. Did you decide to bring a better party, or is this going to be a Vanaheim repeat?

[... He hopes it's not.]

[asgardsflight]

I invited Njord and Skadi, but it didn't really seem like they wanted to come.

[ Which is to say, it's going to be so terribly and wonderfully different. ]

video

[abhero]

Dressed up? You mean COSTUMES?

[This one is way too excited about it.]

video

[asgardsflight]

[ Honir just grins excitedly. ]

Yes! Do you know what you'll wear?

[Video]

[snugglesjugs]

[It's always interesting to meet new gods and people from this world. Even if there was a chance they could be jerks, Aladdin excited by what they have to say. ]

A festival would be the prefect thing right now, but what sort of things do we have to dress up as?

[Video]

[asgardsflight]

Anything you want! Whatever makes you happy.

Video

[nottheshoe]

...Sorry t'rain on th'parade, but ain't that kinda short notice for th'people who just got here?

[Hi. Nike is grumpy. This will end well.]

Video

[asgardsflight]

Oh no, it's perfect! Welcome to the city, come have a party with us!

[ Honir is perpetually excited, not to worry. ]

video;

[servesthehuman]

[Unlike some other people, Owen is blatant in his buzzkillness.]

A festival can hardly erase what happened during Thiazi's...escapades. Do you really think it is appropriate?

video;

[yggdrasilvips]

There is no erasure indended here, I can assure you. Only a way to rebuild the spirits as the city is already being rebuilt. None will ever forget what you endured, and our deep respect will never be lost.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

A COSTUME PARTY? A festival? [Glee, it is barely self-contained.] This sounds like so much fun and a perfect remedy for such dreariness!

[Video]

[asgardsflight]

Exactly! I knew you'd understand, Miss Alice.

[necrowmantic]

Heeey, where can I get ears like that!? Though real ones would be WAY better...

[asgardsflight]

You can't make them out of real cats! You could buy some fake ones, though. There are plenty of costume stores around Asgard!

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

[ Throwing hands up. ]

Costumes! Is there going to be a competition?

[Video]

[asgardsflight]

[ He likes you already just for your enthusiasm. ]

We hadn't thought about it! Do you want one?

[audio]

[needsnoheadsman]

Do you really think such a celebration wise, after what happened?

[Someone's still apprehensive about all this. Not to mention, he's currently effectively shut himself up in his room.]

[audio]

[asgardsflight]

I think so, yes. There's no better time to bring everyone together than right after our enemy tries to drive us all apart!

audio.

[mulletrock]

You've gotta be kidding. No one gives a shit about making amends. We want explanations.

[Plus, he really really hates encouraging people to celebrate Halloween. It's never worked in anyone's favor in the past.]

video on this side.

[yggdrasilvips]

[She chooses to show her face, because she wants this man to know that she is utterly sincere and has nothing to hide.]

I cannot offer any form of explanation, as I am only one of Asgard's allies and have received minimal information myself. I can only say that the gods are deeply aggrieved as well, having lost many of their own citizens who will never reappear, and that this was not an attack any could have foreseen. They have placed great responsibility on you, I am aware of that, but they have also placed their hope in you, and they would not see you treated so horribly if they could have prevented all of this.

[etoaktagamat]

Why do you have false ears on your head?

[She absolutely does not get it, and she tried desperately to figure it out before even responding.]

[asgardsflight]

It's a disguise.
