[When the feed begins, there is a close up of a frowning, wide blue eye. The blue and its purple eyeshadow withdraw more as the woman brings her arm and bracelet further back. Testing. They did not have anything like this back home, content with merely writing letters. But with a little practice, Elsa seems to have gotten the idea of it, at least. With help.]

There, I think that is it. Hello. [A hesitant, almost shy wave of greeting with a nervous smile.] For those of you who I have not yet met, my name is Elsa and I am one of the more recent arrivals to Asgard as well. I just wanted to thank those of you who helped me and my sister, Anna then.

Elsa! What are you doing?

[And that will be Anna, peering over Elsa's shoulder to look at the screen. She beams when she notices that the bracelet is recording.]

Oh! Hello! Elsa, I didn't realize you could work the bracelets!

I'm just--y-yes. Well, learning how to use them did seem important so it was something I made sure to ask about. You do know how to use them, don't you?

[Of course Anna ends up sufficiently distracting Elsa from even realizing hers is still actually on and recording it all as her sister bounds over like that.]

[Oh my, that's a fantastic blush you've got going there, Anna. She looks a little sheepish, and smiles up at Elsa.]

Aaaaaaa little?

[That really just answers everything, doesn't it?]

[...Yup, that would be a 'no, not really'. But that is okay, because Elsa is happy to teach her, proceeding to merely smile at her sister almost knowingly before turning back to her bracelet to show Anna. And suddenly reminded that hers is still already recording. Oops?]

Oh--right. Um, it's already on and recording. So you just speak and wave and it can show that to everyone. It's pretty impressive in comparison to the letters back home, really. Is there anything you wanted to say, Anna?

[It really is fascinating. Sure, Anna has managed to talk to a couple of people, but she just...pushed buttons really. It worked for what she wanted, so she's not complaining!

Her attention focuses on the screen and she beams again, waving briefly.]

Hello everyone! I'm Anna. Thanks for helping me and my sister. And if you haven't said hello to Hans or Kristoff or Sven, you should. They're nice guys! Really!

[With that said, she turns to stick her tongue out at Elsa. Someone is just...a little happy to have her sister back, it seems.]

How's that?

[Elsa can't help but cover her mouth at the giggle erupting from Anna poking out her tongue. But really. She is overjoyed to have Anna with her in spite of everything.]

That is fine, Anna. I'll teach you how to start it in a minute. I just also wanted to say that I'd appreciate it if people could keep an eye out for Anna if fighting starts. If I am not there myself to do so, I mean. And if anyone could perhaps give any advice regarding the powers -- I believe we are both; Kristoff as well, in Freya House with the Charm power.

[Anna nudges Elsa a little before stepping out of sight. That doesn't mean she can't be heard. She pouts a little at her sister, evident by her tone.]

Hey! I can take care of myself! Just ask Kristoff about the wolf!

[She'll need to remember to replace that sled, too, when they get back to Arendelle.]

Wolf? ....I believe I've made my point and said all I intended to. So I'll just say thank you in advance and hello to everyone. Unless there was anything else you wanted to say, Anna?

[She looks off to the side, obviously facing and asking her sister while she still has her bracelet on. She wants to be sure before she turns it off.]

Hmmmmmmmmm...I think that's all for now. Thanks!

[She'll likely go about bugging people on her own at a later time. She's just too busy going through Elsa's things. They're sisters and she can actually do this now.]

Anna, what are you--?

[And there the feed shuts off, with Elsa quickly moving to check just what Anna is poking at this time.

And there it is. The inevitable 'ooops' of Anna's and the sound of something crashing and breaking. Even here in a whole different world, Anna's clumsiness is clearly evident in Asgard.]

[ooc: Yup, say hi to the sisters on the network now. And of course, blue is Anna, the normal black is Elsa.]

They can. For now, all you can really use it to do right now is to help you calm someone around you, to keep them from hurting others, especially you.

...eventually, though, you can make someone fall in love with you.

That doesn't seem so bad....

[Oh. But then Sam continues and mentions the love thing. Erk. Yeah. Elsa and love for anything other than family and being intimate with anyone is something she is instinctively 'nope' over.]

W-wait, what? I don't...No, I have no intention of using it for that sort of thing. That just seems....wrong. Plus I'm not so sure on the idea of a relationship anyway. So you don't need to worry about that, at least from me.

It doesn't last long enough to become a relationship, Elsa. You don't need to be afraid of that. It's all very temporary, but... well, if I'm going to feel something for someone, I'd rather actually get there naturally.

That, and that sort of emotion's... a little weird when it comes to me. [You know, being a succubus] But, let's not worry about that yet. You aren't that powerful so far, so we could... just be careful. If you want to practice.

I'm not sure I would want that either. For me or anyone else. Manipulating a person's feelings like that...surely there are ethics involved with certain powers like this.

Weird? I understand not everyone would be comfortable with it. I'm sure I'm not either. If it makes you uncomfortable, I could always find someone else to practice with if necessary.

There's all kinds of ethics, depending on how you were raised. I know I have issues with it because of what I am. It's not something to abuse. Though, I'm sorry, I should probably explain. It's fine, but... Have you ever heard of a succubus?

Because of what you are? Of course I have no intention of abusing this power.

A succubus? I think I might have read something. But of course, what I know may not even necessarily apply here.

[And then it clicks. A succubus? That might explain the horns. But Elsa hasn't really felt it was really something to pry about, so hadn't particularly wanted to ask outright.]

My father was an incubus, the male sort of those. I'm half. They're demons that rely on making people love them or lust after them, predators that use lust. So, making me fall for someone forcibly is just... It feels very strange, and I'm not sure if it wouldn't end very badly. As much as I can control that side of me normally, I don't like testing that control with magic involved.

O-oh. Well...yes, I can imagine that would be....strange with the charm power.

I'm sorry. It's not exactly comfortable. It's just something I was born with. The Energy transfer power is a lot like another of the abilities I have, though it's less... invasive, as long as I don't overuse it.

[She sighed.]

Sorry. I didn't mean to worry you. I'm sort of used to people being a bit ... put out.

Energy Transfer? Wouldn't something like that leave the person transferring their energy weak and vulnerable to attack then?

[Elsa isn't quite used to all this, the powers and how they work exactly.]

Put out? Well, I could understand people being a little...uncertain. But put out would not necessarily be the wording I would use. Though I cannot speak for everyone, I realize that.

No... it means I can steal energy, with a touch, or with a kiss. The kiss is like what I could do at home. I can then transfer it to someone else. I'm glad that it doesn't make you too uncertain at the very least.

You....so that is how it works? [She wasn't quite expecting the intimacy involved there, somehow. But now she thinks she gets the idea.]

So long as your powers don't involve me, what you do with it is none of my business.

[She chuckled softly.] It does come in handy. With a touch, I can give a boost to someone with a power that's needed, enough that they're able to do incredible things. With a kiss, I can knock an enemy unconscious.

...but, like you said, what I actually do with it isn't something I'm going to share right now. [Especially not if she'd said it like that.] We did just meet, after all.

Unconscious? That does seem pretty powerful. So that is the energy transfer power, the other one that people in Freya house might get is it?

Of course. I know I have no intentions of abusing this 'charm' of mine, if I ever use it at all.

At the highest level it is fairly powerful, yes. And good, though I didn't think you were going to. It's just... an uncomfortable power sometimes. Sorry that you have to deal with that.

It doesn't seem I have a choice. You said we cannot change Houses or our power. At least, not of our own accord. I'll just...learn to deal with it. Or not use it at all if it comes to making everyone comfortable. I am sure I could find other ways to help somehow.

Not unless something surprising happens. And you'll cope I'm sure. I can think of a few ways it could be helpful in a pinch certainly.

Perhaps in calming someone, but beyond that I would...probably be hesitant.

[She paused for a minute and then sighed to herself, turning on a private feed.]

Listen... I should be clear. Ummm, [She put a hand on her arm and glanced to the side.] your power could save someone's life and you should probably practice it, but just not use it unless it's dire. If someone was going to attack a friend, you could make them listen to you...

I was offering to help you with control before. It's not comfortable, but the offer does stand.

In that sort of instance...yes, I suppose. It's still hard for me to consider the implications and ethics of this. The way I could use it. I still need to adjust and get my head around it. But I have been told to talk to Merlin, about this 'Teacher's Council'.

You could help? Are you sure?

The council will help, but we only meet every so often. [She scratched at the back of her head.] Think of this as me paying back the world for helping me out when I had problems myself with control.

If we're careful, I'll help, and we can figure out what's giving you the most problems.

Oh. I wasn't sure how often the Council is in session. But...if you think this might help. I can't see how it could make things worse here without my ice powers at least.

Well... you can probably get lessons with any of the members, but I am one. [She attempted a bit of a smile.] Think of it as one of us offering you private lessons along with the meetings? Still, I think we'll also have a meeting very soon. And I promise that I won't make this worse.

I see. That would make sense. There is a meeting soon? I'll try to be there and see what happens. I appreciate the advice and help, really.

It's alright. I... just don't like seeing someone go through what you're going through. It's not easy, and you're not the first to have problems like these.
