First, please allow me to extend my sympathies to those who were injured while remaining within Asgard these last few days.

For those who made the journey to Ginnungagap, I wish to solicit any reactions or discoveries from the trip. While I found it a disappointing trek in some regards, it is possible other Travelers saw more productive results.

As regards my own thoughts on the matter: I'm sorry to say that if any notable artifacts remained within the site, I was unable to locate them, and of course, we did not have the tools necessary for a proper excavation. Speaking of which, if anyone reading has background in archaeology or related disciplines, I entreat you to contact me. I should like to investigate the possibility of organizing an archaeological team for future journeys, but I sincerely doubt the majority of the population will be convinced to read Sirs Petrie or Maspero in preparation for the task. Any such team would need more field experience than I alone can provide. [Especially since her legitimate, on-the-books field experience is rather paltry.]

Finally, for those students enrolled in my Latin and ancient Greek courses: Please be advised that, beginning this week, Mr. Kyle Booth will be assisting with marking assignments and class lectures. I expect that you will all show him the respect his not insignificant skill for these languages deserves; our studies will no doubt be enriched by his presence and knowledge.

man
these pictures suck
and not in a good way
now im even more disappointed i didnt go

[Sorry, Yosuke.]

Unfortunately, until someone comes forward with other photographs or drawings, they're what we have.

[Which is to say, no comment. Sorry, Yosuke.]

You can see, I imagine, why I think we should plan to document our trips a little more carefully in the future. It's difficult now to share the experience with those who stayed here; suppose someone a few months or years down the line is interested in what occurred on that particular journey?

[feathery]

to be honest
i dont think anyone has done a great job of documenting anything for noobs
maybe its because most of us dont last that long and were just acquainted with a shit ton of outliers
its not like ive ever taken a poll on our transdimensional demographics
but did you know the fire giants dropped plague canisters on the city at one point because i sure as fuck didnt

[proudofwhatiam]

My goodness, no; I was unaware such a thing had happened. This is simply more reason to try to document Asgard's goings-on more formally. Should history repeat itself, we might well have no idea what to expect.

[feathery]

yeah there might be some journals about it at the library but i dont know how well organized they are
maybe someone needs to get in there and rearrange the stacks
then include it in the school curriculum if it isnt there already i guess
thatd probably be the productive thing to do

[Sounds like a lot of effort to Davesprite, though.]
