002 [video, then private text; D382]

[After leaving the castle grounds and returning to his Welcome Hall, from his crazy adventures in Muspelheim, Soushi found a large quantity of packages sitting neatly in front of his door. All the items were from friends and acquaintances and even a few strangers. He was uncertain over the reason for the items, but then he remembered over the season and figured it out.

That is why the broadcast will begin with a rather apprehensive Soushi taking a hard look at himself from a small hand mirror, thoroughly inspecting every inch of himself; at least, his hair and face. To many it may seem as though he was getting himself ready, but it might not be the case as his attention finally turns to the bracelet that was sitting on top of the coffee table in his living room.]


I do not look any different, do I? [His eyes will be on the mirror again as he pulls on his hair a bit.] It feels both odd, yet comforting. To return like this instead of feeling like someone else, someone ne-- [Realizing what he was about to say, Soushi will shake his head and remain quiet. A small smile will appear on his lips soon.] No. This isn't the point of this broadcast. I apologize for the way I am reacting, it's nothing to be concern about.

[Putting the hand mirror aside, Soushi will trade the item for one of the packages that was in front of his door, then present it to the bracelet instead.]

I found more of these items awaiting for me in front of my door. To all those that thought of me during the last few days and were kind enough to drop it there, thank you very much. And I apologize for I was unable to receive the items in person. [He will offer a bow to the camera.] You are all very thoughtful, honest, and kind to have done this. Especially to someone such as myself. I do not believe I deserve any of these gifts, but regardless...thank you. I am very touched.

[Lifting his head, a light blush will be on his cheeks as he really did feel deeply moved by everyone's kindness towards him. At least, to those that left him a present and to those who did not steal one neither. But that was neither here or there, instead Soushi was feeling embarrassed for another reason entirely.]

If I may ask, to those that hold knowledge with runic magic, I would like to know if it's possible to combine a rune into an item, so it could be used as an amulet of sorts. [Because.] I remember the citizens from Svartalfaheim held a similar ability to do so with their weapons and armor, but I do not wish to leave the city to gain an item like it. I believe our city has many wonderful runic experts, it is only fair to ask for their expertise over the subject first. I will pay for your services, of course. [After all.] I wish to present those who are... [Now it was getting difficult for him to admit:] my "precious friends" an item that could aid them in some way... [That really was embarrassing to admit, but Soushi's smile will continue to remain on his lips, not really showing his embarrassment in the least bit. Instead.] I will be returning my gratitude to each and every one of those who gave me a gift. [Another bow.] Thank you very much for your time.

[The broadcast will end there.]

[But a few minutes later there will be a private text sent to those that went on the trip to Muspelheim -- Samantha Grey, Desmond Miles, Eridan Ampora, Temari, and Elena Gilbert.]


Did everyone return safely? Or are we missing someone?

(OOC: Soushi was not around during the winter event, so he really will be giving his gifts that was decided on the handwaved gift giving meme.)

We should speak. Privately. Let's just say someone wanted to see our shopping list afterwards.

[She sounds raspy for some reason, her voice a little off and like it's tired, hoarse.]

Bentornato, Soushi! It is wonderful to see you again!

[The initial warm welcome back is then tempered by a more solemn statement soon after.]

You look the same as you did when you left Asgard but... I have come to understand when you say not to worry that is when I should. Did things not go as expected?

You can choose the time and place, but be careful what you say about our shopping trip until we've spoken.

...and don't bother with the tea. I've died a few times. [She coughed once.] My body didn't come back whole this time.

Your hair? Mio dio Soushi!

Never mind about me, nothing much changed here while you were away, what happened to you? A fire of some kind?

[What else would cause hair to require healing? ]

That should be fine. I will see you soon.

...

Both of those are true. Eventually the body or the mind isn't quite as good as it should be.

You're welcome.

[ A pause, because Soushi saying he didn't feel like someone else... ]

Did you die?

[There is something almost stern about Merope's facial expression when she finally responds to video a few hours later. Yes, still hiding her friendships from her son, but at least she isn't hiding in the bathroom this time.]

You don't sound well at all. You can say that I shouldn't worry, but I'm going to worry anyway so don't tell me I shouldn't.

[ He chuckles. ]

Sorry about that.

[ Pointing. ]

Pocket watches are cool.

[ Or something.

Soushi definitely died. Damn it. ]
darkmum: (erm...)

[She may not be the most educated or even the brightest person, but Merope has learned enough about reading between the lines to notice that while Soushi has reassured her about not lying to her, he hasn't volunteered any information about what has happened to make him less than well. Thus the frown remains and she chews on her bottom lip as she watches him, hoping to find out what is wrong with him simply from staring at him hard enough.

The frown doesn't lighten until he speaks of the Christmas present, mentioning that elicits a girlish giggle.]
I made the scarf myself. Mister Crouch was so kind as to get me knitting needles and wool. He's a dear, I wouldn't know what to do without him. [She falls silent, once more biting her lip.] Do you truly like it? I worked very hard on it, but I fear I didn't have much time.

[Four, but only three counted. He was close enough.]

Three it is.

[When he found her in the park, she was brushing a bit of snow off of her heavy coat. Looking up, she nodded to him.]

Odin knows.

[Yeah, let's just get the most important part out of the way.]

Not every detail, but apparently dying in Muspelheim was a big damned clue something was up. He cornered me when I came back to life, and there wasn't any point hiding it.

[She nodded to his request and started to walk along the edges of the lake, eyes moving around.]

As for his reaction... pissed off and demanding is a good description. He wanted answers. But he's not coming after us, even if we have been... conscripted is probably the best word.

He's a god. Like I said. At the point he knew we were up to something, there wasn't any point in concealing it. He knows what we're making, why, and how we knew to make it.

...I think he's the least pleased that we didn't keep him in the loop. I consider that payback for the number of times he kept us out. [She kicked a rock and rubbed subconsciously at her throat.] He wants us to keep the weapon secret for now. I think he may call on the travelers to use it at some point. Knowing it's here... it's probably made him both suspicious and at the same time glad.

It's something he didn't know we had, which means it's also something Thiazi didn't know we had.
samantha_grey: (grrr)

Don't be blase about that, Soushi. I'm not in the mood to throw peoples' lives away. You're too good to be treated like an expendable pawn. [She grunted.] And I stopped working with pawns a long time ago. We died because we were attempting the impossible and barely succeeded. That's not pawn work.

...

But yes, it's probably simpler she's not here, even if I know you'd want her close.
