asgardeventide | 1 ☯ video, action for Thor

[the video starts up to show a short-haired girl, looking curiously right at the viewer—from her perspective, she's just checking out and poking at her bracelet. after bringing her arm up and down to inspect it from different angles, she finally settles on a comfortable and more natural position.]

So, uh... I guess this thing is on now? People can see this, right?

[she waves her hand at the screen and gives a smile... before realizing that, right, she's not exactly broadcasting live. with a small chuckle, she scratches the back of her neck, then continues.]

...Right, you guys can't respond until I finish this. Whoops! Anyway, uh, the name's Chie—Chie Satonaka! If it wasn't obvious, I pretty much just got here, and I'm still kinda confused about... well, everything. The girl that brought me here didn't exactly explain much, and I kinda figured that asking other people that were brought here would be a lot more helpful in the long run. So, yeah! I'm not really picky; any tips for a newcomer like me would be awesome. Buuut I guess if I had to be specific... is there any place to get some cheap, decent food around here? I'm starving, and I could seriously go for some steak right now.

[she laughs again as she's about to go, but right before she goes to end the feed, she remembers one more thing.]

Oh, and if you've ever met or run into anybody from a place in Japan called Inaba, would you mind telling them that I'm looking for them? Thanks a bunch!

Oh, whoa—no need to be so formal!

[He just looks confused. Okay, so when he actually bows and titles people that's too formal and some things never change, but really--]

... Is that really considered very formal?

[So maybe it was slightly formal. He doesn't know enough about you yet.]

Kinda? I mean, I guess I'm just not really used to that kind of thing.

I apologize, then. I'm afraid it's a habit.

[Maybe a bit tongue-in-cheek. But. Just a bit.]

Well... on second though, I'm being kinda unfair, huh? I'm not used to it, but I guess you are.

[Oops.] There's no need to worry about it.

May I ask which House you've been assigned?

Oh, uh—I'm in Thor! Guess we won't be seeing each other in person as much as we would if we were in the same House, huh?

No, but these bracelets can connect anyone at any time.

[He'd warn about it being literal, but that doesn't seem in keeping with the shape of the conversation.]

... So if you have further questions, contact shouldn't be difficult.

That's pretty handy! A lot more convenient than cell phones, even.

['Cell phones'. The words are vaguely familiar.]

Just how many devices does 'Earth' have that are like this bracelet? I've heard it called a 'computer' as well.

... Huh? You're not from Earth?

No, I am not. [Ahh, he's been here so long now that people being surprised is surprising, huh?] You'll find that it's common among those here. I come from the Kingdom of Lucifenia.

And... that was on another planet?

[Oh, boy.]

... To be honest, I'm not sure. I know only that I had never heard of 'Earth' or its countries before I arrived in Asgard. And that I am not the only one.

Whoa, how weird...

Buuut I guess we've all been brought here by a bunch of gods and stuff, so I don't think I'm as surprised as I'd be otherwise.

Yes. I suppose it is only one of the stranger things about Asgard.

[If they wanted to start a list they could probably be here all day.]

Yeah, no kidding.

[she laughs weakly.]

Well, I guess on the whole, something like that's not really important! I definitely won't judge or anything, promise.

[That gets an amused look.]

Nor will I. It's probably wise in a 'world' that includes such powers as we've been given.

Yeah, exactly. Just gotta roll with it!
