[A teenager in a blue ball cap and school uniform pops up on the tiny screen, grinning smugly...yet also dumbly. He's got to be dreaming. All of this feels just like a role playing game, like in the Feudal Fantasy series! Or maybe Shade of the Giants? Whatever it is, Junpei's kind of excited and less worried about why and how he arrived here.]

Man, this is so cool! It's like a communicator watch from Featherman... [But maybe a little...dainty-looking. He's kind of afraid he'll break it on accident.]

Anybody hearing me out there? I'm ready to start restoring some color and life to things!

Senpai, how'd you know?!

[Speaking of clocking, Junpei processes the words 'picking up'. Something slides for a second off screen, making a sharp scratching sound across a tabletop surface.

Huh.]

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[He sighs.] It's really not that hard to figure out.

Hey, do you know where you are? [For the love of God, he hopes Junpei listened to the maid for at least a few minutes. He probably wouldn't know what his power is, though.]

...What's that noise?

[hasleveledup]

The city of Asgard! [Supposedly.

Junpei turns around, and the object -- a small wind-up clock -- clatters against the ground. Strange.]

No worries senpai! Something fell it looks like.

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[Fine, he'll be more specific.] Which district are you in?

[Akihiko shrugs in return, not thinking much of it.]

Try not to break anything, okay? We wouldn't wanna have to fix something again so soon.

[hasleveledup]

The low key district...dude, I'm nowhere near the end table! Maybe this place has really small earthquakes or something.

[emperor_with_no_groove]

What the hell's the...

[Junpei... Akihiko is getting annoyed. Need he inform you personally that his power here is enhanced strength?]

Hey, focus, damn it. Stop messing around for a minute. Can you go find someone and ask them which district you're in?

[hasleveledup]

Yeah, sure senpai!

[Junpei wanders outside. It takes about ten minutes, but maybe Akihiko can overhear 'Loki', because Junpei's confusing it for 'low key'.]

Senpai, it's low key! I'm not making this up!

Shun you're a genius and i fail for not connecting the dots SOB

[emperor_with_no_groove]

......

[Loki... Great. Akihiko's expression visibly falls. He's heard about the powers associated with that particular god, and the thought of Junpei having one of those... Well, shit.]

It's Loki, Junpei. That's the name of your god. He's... [A brief pause.] Just be careful when you talk to him, okay?

Anyway, I'd go get you right now, but I'm at work. Think you can hold up for a couple of hours?

x3

[hasleveledup]

Oh! Why should I be careful? The gods are the good guys.

I'll be fine! I'll just mix it up with the locals! We can find something fun to do! ...Uh, there are fun things to do here, right senpai?

[emperor_with_no_groove]

That depends on who you talk to... [There are some people that would disagree with Junpei.]

The natives are friendly, so you'll be okay. But uh, there isn't TV or internet here... or video games. What else do you do for fun?

[hasleveledup]

Uh...go to the arcade. [Which is video games. But maybe this place has some sort of game to play? Even if it's not powered by electricity and on a screen?] And the Wuck! And sometimes karaoke!

[emperor_with_no_groove]

Um... [It's gonna suck to break the news to his fun-loving kouhai, but...] I think you're gonna have to find new hobbies here, Junpei. There might be karaoke, though, at the club.

Since we don't have school here, you should find a job. That allowance isn't gonna last forever.
