[ behold, Lydia Martin. Lydia Martin is super impressed with you, Asgard.

Or, you know, not at all.

Earthquake? Kidnapping? Being held in parallel universes? she got it. she doesn't even seem disheveled. ]

Not that I intend to argue that belonging to House Odin isn't worth some sort of respect in Asgard's hierarchy. Seeing Odin is the ruler of Asgard, top of the godly food chain.

I suppose that if I had to be kidnapped by Norse Gods to fight a war I have a dubious relation to, the silver lining is definitely being in the house of the ruler who is often associated with a relentless search of power and is probably the first one to inspire that saying about knowledge and power which you all know by heart.

[ and if you don't, she judges you. ]

All of that said – a spiral slide in house Odin? Is basically like placing a ball pit in the middle of Oxford Library. It's not an oxymoron, Asgard, make no mistake. It's a Juxtaposition; and not even an impressive one, at that.

Hey, I happen to like that spiral slide.

[He wasn't surprised to see her back in Odin, either, though this version seemed not to remember being here before.]

So, great time to be back. You back to being an ice queen?

[That was actually a reference to her powers, so please don't kill him.]

Because the AC here sucks and you'd come in pretty handy right about now.

[itgirl]

[ oh, you go here too. ]

ᴠɪᴅᴇᴏ.

[itgirl]

It contrasts Odin. Not that I've met him but when I do,

[ and there is no 'if' here, he brought her, he will see her ]

I'll ask him if he doesn't find it a bit ironic to have a spiral slide in his house.

[ that said. ]

So all of you had seen the prequel to this episode of be being kidnapped here by Norse Gods? if by ice queen you mean the powers then no.

N.O.K.O.T.B., huh? [New Odin on the block for those who speak english.] What up, godsis. The name's Charlie.

[itgirl]

I don't know if to be rudely honest and say I have no idea what you just said or just be passively polite and pretend I did.

[ Godsis. right. ]

Lydia Martin.

[gallifreyfalls]

Being in Odin, well I suppose that means you'll be on the front lines for every battle with a hierarchy like that.

[itgirl]

Like I said,

[ and she really loathes repeating herself but she'll do it for you, Doctor ]

Odin is about knowledge which, according to my understanding, would put us in strategic thinking. For front line sort of people, I think you need to knock on Thor's doors.

I love your lipstick.

[It is honestly the first thing she has to say, that Miss Effie Trinket, dressed today in a bright red dress and her natural skintone, mostly because she hasn't found makeup suitably for her likely yet.

She still has on that golden wig, though.]

[Video]

[chinsup]

[ -- but that being said.]

How much do you know about all of this?

[video]

[didntbelieve]

I think they might have one of those in every house. Or at least a good few of them.

[He's not overly impressed by the one in Heimdall either, but since it isn't compulsory to use it he can live with it. Even if it does seem bizarrely out of place.]

[video]

[itgirl]

-- Is all of town here or.

[ because why is Stiles' dad here too. ]

They'd make sense in some of the houses. Loki, I guess; especially if it changed course every other day and dump them in the front yard.

[ but whatever. charming mode for an adult. ]

Hello Sheriff Stilinski.

[hereticing]

You don't like the slide?

video.

[itgirl]

I stopped caring about slides when I was six.

[ maybe it's not 100% true and she'll try it when no one will be looking, at the dead of night since she doesn't sleep anyway. but those are technicalities. ]

[comeonthensexy]

All Welcome Halls have slides. Isn't it brilliant?

[Video]

[itgirl]

'Brilliant' is a word. Infantile is one too. Contradictory is even a better one as far as house Odin goes.

[gymnast]

[ Well, this is one good thing (as good as more people from home, especially her best friend, being trapped here can be) in the shit storm that Allison's life has been recently. ]

Lydia? [ Just, you know, to make sure it's actually her. ] When did you get back?

video;

[itgirl]

A few days ago. You know; enough time to see the earthquake and hear I can go Wicked Witch on people with fireballs and also that we were all kidnapped here to save the world as if we have any world-saving experience.

[ but more importantly ]

Where are you?

video-

[lookingfordragon]

Really? I thought all the gods were equal.

video-

[itgirl]

Gods are never equal, there's a hierarchy in most polytheistic myths. The Greeks had Zeus and the Norse myth has Odin. Though he must be pretty stale if all of you don't know that by now.

[recorders]

[ Okay, so, in the defense of slides and intelligent individuals, there might just need to be a better argument for the slide right now, even if admittedly the rest of it also does deserve commenting on. ]

Does power enable you to do most anything you want to do? Within reason of course. [ No dictators, horrible people in power need apply to this scenario. ]

voice »

[itgirl]

If you're smart enough. Power is nothing without knowledge which is sort of the point of Odin. And Machiavelli.

[ not that she's Machiavelli. except she kinda is. ]

video;

[mccallmemaybe]

Oxymoron, a figure of speech that uses contradictory terms.

Juxtaposition, the act of positioning two things close together or side by side in order to highlight or compare the differences between them.

[ Obviously Lydia knows the definitions, Scott's just testing whether he remembers them from his Word of the Day learning over the summer. ]

Did I get that right?

video;

[itgirl]

[ wow Scott, she might yet be impressed. ]

Yes. They're poetry definition but they apply here. So I guess if this were a class, I'd be asking you why is the slide in Odin a juxtaposition and not an Oxymoron.

video;

[delancret]

I see nothing wrong with the slide. It is glorious!

video;

[itgirl]

[ hello, you look very medieval-fair. which might also explain the excitement re: the slide. ]

Gloriously contradictory to the spirit of the house, maybe.

[audio]

[dicey]

There's a hierarchy?

[and she didn't get placed at the top? DISPLEASED]

Where's Hel? Co-ruler, maybe?

[audio]

[itgirl]

There's always a hierarchy in a system built upon multiply Gods. They wouldn't be able to function without it, they don't really do democracy.

[ as for Hel. well. she just looks at you because that's a bit creepy. ]

The same place as Hades, I guess. Daughter of Loki. Factor of creepiness even among the Gods since she rules over the dead.

[truesight]

I don't think anybody was trying to be clever with the slides. I mean, Freyr's got one, too.

video;

[itgirl]

I think it makes more sense in Freyr than it does at Odin. And overall, I think there should be differences in the houses, seeing they belong to different Gods and the Gods themselves are different in their preferences.

[ or supposed to be, anyway. ]
