[Sam has been staying in Odin since he learned about some unpleasant things concerning his future -- and overall, it's been alright. Shifting his time between the Odin Welcome Hall and the library makes him a little nostalgic, actually, of when he first arrived here. And though he misses staying at his home in Thor, he knows he needs time and space to sort everything out.

Unfortunately, that means some individuals within the city have been practically living at the library too in order to make sure Sam eats and sleeps and doesn't do anything self destructive because when does that ever happen, which makes Sam slightly irritable.

Sometimes, anyway. It's mostly nice to know people care.]

We haven't gotten our new wave of Travelers in yet, I don't think, but some people are new. I'm Sam -- welcome to Asgard. I have a couple of things to say, but I'll make it as quick as possible.

1. I'm in the process of updating my guide to the gods and the different powers and houses available within the city. I'm sorry it's gone to the wayside for so long -- things happen. If anyone has any questions regarding their powers, houses, or why we're here, I'd be more than happy to offer some insight.

2. Does anyone else have a dog here that needs a friend? Riot is going stircrazy and I think having a playmate would be good for him. He's fixed and well-trained, he doesn't bite, but he can get kind of rambunctious.

3. Does anyone want to adopt an angel? I've got one. Free of charge. Rarely bites. Pure Heaven pedigree. He even has all of his shots.

4. To go back to the guide thing... I'm also looking for different digital files regarding Asgard that other people might've written up. Does anyone want to text them over? It'd be easier for me to compile them on my computer than keep track of it all on paper.

I think that's about it. Thanks -- try to stay warm.

Adopt an angel? You're joking right?

[smartwinchester]

No. 100% serious.

[therightchoice]

I can help with your dog, Sam.

[Sam is at his favorite table in the library, surrounded by books as per usual. But he offers a genuine smile, albeit a tired one, in Jesse's direction.]

You think so? He can be a pain.

[Have a crumpled ball of paper thrown at you, bro.]

[Offline]

[smartwinchester]

Oh, good, you do check the network.

[As Sam catches the ball without much fuss, lighting it on fire with the slightest urging forward of his powers, letting it smolder a bit before dropping it in a wastebasket.]

I thought you forgot it existed.

[ oh sam. oh sam. the fact that this is so familiar has her grinning a little bit. though it's only for a moment, before she's back to the actual post - totally unaware anything's wrong and assuming the angel bit is completely a joke. ]

Conan might have left some files in the forensics unit office, but I haven't been up there since I've gotten back. I can check when I make it up there? Though I'm sure he wouldn't have anything there he didn't give to you.

I have most of what Conan had, but he's been gone for a long

Adopt an angel?

[Text]

[smartwinchester]

Fluffy wings and all.

[audio]

[needsnoheadsman]

Adopt an--what is an angel?

I've a feeling your dog wouldn't feel so friendly towards my wolf.

[audio]

[smartwinchester]

Celestial beings from Heaven. They don't really play well with others.

[Castiel will probably cut him for this entire conversation, but hey, it's worth the risk.]

You have a pet wolf?

[oceanborne]

It seems like you're keeping busy. Is the guide for anybody to see?

text

[smartwinchester]

It is -- you can share it with whoever you want, too, but I need to work on it a little bit more.

I can send it over to you now if you want to see, though.

[stakes]

Sam, you know I still have Willow, right? The dog-version? And um -- I wanted to... Talk to you about something else. [ Besides his issues... Giles is gone. Which means Buffy is in a house completely alone. And she wants her boyfriend. ]

private. voice.

[smartwinchester]

[He's about to ask if Willow plays well with others, but -- he's distracted by her tone of voice.]

What's wrong?

[frothing]

I have an armadillo. I don't think dogs and armadillo mix.

[smartwinchester]

Where did you get a pet armadillo?

audio.

[mulletrock]

Geez, Sam. What'd Cas do this time?

[Maybe he's pushing it, talking to him here, but he posted to the network and he had to figure that he'd respond. Or at least he hopes so. It's been a while and more than anything else Dean misses his brother. He gets the reason for the silence, and that's part of why he stayed away, but he's tired of waiting around for Sam to stop being pissed at him.]

I have something for you. When you get a chance.

audio.

[smartwinchester]

[There's a lengthy silence before Sam speaks, his tone controlled and guarded, but relatively free of animosity.]

Mostly hovering around to make sure I don't starve to death.

[He loves Castiel, but it's getting to be a bit much.]

I'm free later tonight. I work until eight.

[comeonthensexy]

You're offering an angel?

[Text]

[smartwinchester]

One of a kind.

[allbloodyhail]

I don't believe we've formally met yet.

text; private

[smartwinchester]

I don't think so, no.

[larps]

You're not planning on sending Cas off to live with some family on a farm, are you?

Video

[smartwinchester]

That depends on whether or not he decides to spill coffee on my laptop.

[CASTIEL IS ONE INCH FROM BEING ~SENT UPSTATE~.]

[bays]

Eh - I could play with him sometime.

[Even though Sam was asking for someone else with a dog.]

video;

[smartwinchester]

[Well -- ]

If you want, sure.

[delancret]

I received a new pet for Christmas that is extraordinarily playful. It is far from a dog, but I think perhaps would make a good friend for Riot.

[smartwinchester]

What'd you get?

[video]

[made_4_ritsuka]

[Despite the post being text, Yuiko's response is video since that is all she had figured out how to use so far.]

An angel? There are an angels here too?

[First Santa, and now angels, this is the best place ever.]

Ah, but I thought there was already a guide?

[video]

[smartwinchester]

One, that I know of. He's adopted.

[Castiel isn't actually going to be given away, but he's grinding on Sam's nerves, which means the entire world needs to know about it.]

There are a lot of guides from the gods and the Travelers -- mine is the first Traveler guide that I know of concerning the gods and their powers. It's compiled from Traveler experiences and information, not information released from the gods and incorporates a lot of information from my own world in regards to mythology and the Nordic pantheon.

( voice ) because she doesn't like typing

[doveprincess]

You created a guide for this world, Ser? Would it possible to see it? I just arrived a few weeks ago, and I would like to get to know this world better...

And well, my brother has a direwolf... It's not a dog, but it's not as big here as it's back home. Maybe he would like to play with your Riot...

( voice )

[smartwinchester]

[ -- ah.]

I think your brother might've offered, actually, on both counts.

[He looks at the name on the screen.]

Robb?

text;

[unsparing]

Doesn't sound like much of an angel if you're trying to pawn him off.

text;

[smartwinchester]

He's the nicest once you'll ever meet, which isn't saying much, but it's true.

[conquering]

There is Sir Frewen. The one Arthur rescued. He is a tad wild, as Arthur found his nature to be amiable but he might fit well to entertain your dog.

[ aka, take him for a few hours please, he tracks mud on my dresses. ]

[smartwinchester]

Sir Frewen?

[Pendragons.]

[brainiest]

... Adopt an Angel? Did he - it? - do something wrong?

Otherwise, I've been taking notes on Asgard as I intend to teach about it at the school that's being set up. I could share those with you, if you liked? I can write them up sometime soon, it won't be any hassle.

text.

[smartwinchester]

I guess technically Castiel is an 'it' or a 'they' or some other gender neutral pronoun, but he responds to male ones, so that's what we use. And he dropped tea all over my notes this morning, so he's currently up for adoption.

That'd be excellent, actually. I can hand over everything I have, too. Sounds like you're putting the information to good use.

[omittance]

tell me anything you know about shadow control
and whatever the hell regeneration is

( text )

[smartwinchester]

Shadow control is pretty much what it sounds like -- you can control and create shadows around you of varying sizes and strengths depending on what level you're at.

Regeneration is the ability to heal yourself from injuries -- and, again, it gets stronger the higher level you are.

[bossily]

Where did you manage to get an angel, exactly? I've got a handful of Doctors that could use a good guardian angel.

[smartwinchester]

He fell into our laps.
