[ Contary to popular belief, not all of her reminders are sudsy faux pas at raising morale by glossing over the near-imminent end of days with errant chore routines and rehearsed domesticity for the sake of her team, but swapping one apocalypse for another version of the Armageddeon was enough to induce internal hemorrhaging on both accounts (granted, if a certain Assassin hadn't already beat them to the punch). Ascended Fridge Horror was an eternal trope in her line of business.
But Stillman remains composed in her attempt to infuse some vestige of credibility into her message. Professionalism didn't cut slack for even post-mortem workaholics. ]
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lucy. I'm a ... researcher. In light of everything that's occurred recently, I believe it's high time that I become acquainted with you all, if only to extend my support in our shared endeavors. I'll do what I can to help.
That being said: would anyone like self-defense lessons? I realize it's not that much to offer, but if anyone needs a sparring partner, I'm capable of handling firearms, blades, blunt weapons, and hand-to-hand combat. I wouldn't be against polishing my technique with your assistance, either. Payment isn't necessary, but I do have a preference for fixed appointments. Let me know if you're interested and we'll hammer out the rest of the details together. [ There's a nearly pedestrian, lilting pause as she invokes the real intent behind using the network system to contact the general public in the first place. ]
I understand that, for better or worse, we were chosen and forcibly brought to Asgard. But the extenuating reasons behind that decision — whether it's by chance or through ulterior motives — are completely beyond me. I take it some people have had quite a long stay here, and others, like myself, have only recently arrived, but it seems we all share an equal opportunity to leave. The thing is? It isn't on our terms. Only random selection at any given time of day.
I'm open to all possible theories you might have concerning any Traveler's sudden departure, however.
And while I'm at it, is there anyone out there who's returned to Asgard from their original world on more than one occassion? If so, I'd like to ask a few general questions about the experiences in each iteration. Nothing major. [ A beat. ]
Thank you for your time. I genuinely appreciate it.

You shouldn't put yourself down. With that much practice, I bet you're quite the formidable opponent. Hand-to-hand sparring it is, then? I'd typecast my fighting technique as conventional, but if you're more oriented toward offensive or defensive patterns, we should probably play on each other's weaknesses in order to get stronger.
Is there a day this week you're free for a match? And is there anywhere in particular you'd like to meet?

I'm free just about any day you are. We could meet at the Arena in Thor.

Valuing the lives of others above all else is pretty noble of you. I'm more inclined toward stealth myself, but a direct fight might be better in this regard.
How's a day from now sound? I'll wait near the front at noon, stay until right before evening strikes. Anyone in particular I should be looking for?

That sounds good to me. I'm Sakura, by the way.
