asgardeventide | two ✩ video/text ✩ d429

( the video begins with doctor mccoy, sitting at a desk in his room in sigyn. he looks particularly business-like, hair combed and expression serious, hands folded in front of him. before he speaks, he clears his throat—it’s almost as if he’s still a little uncomfortable to be addressing so many people at once, but that’s the only sign of it. )

Figure it’s best to get this out of the way while we’ve got the time. ( before another disaster or attack happens, he means. ) I like having a frame of reference—makes it easier to deal with people, and treat ‘em too, when you have to. I know we’re all working off the same magical system, here, but it’s better to account for specifics all the same.

That being said, here’s a list. Fill it out if you want, don’t bother telling me why not if you don’t want to. You can be as specific, or as vague, as you want, or leave out questions entirely if they bother you. If it makes you feel better, you can secure it and have my word as a doctor that I’ll keep it confidential.

( attached is this text form: )

name: age: species: location prior to asgard: planet, city, country, realm, etc. is your world more familiar with magic, technology/science, or both?: which power did you receive in asgard?: did you have any skills, powers or abilities that you lost once here?: are conditions here generally better, worse, or the same as your prior location?:

That’s about all. Not much else to do on a rainy day, is there.

That hope is shared by many.

Then I revise what I said earlier. Here's hoping everyone who feels that way acts on it.

I am sure most will. When people have already lost something, it is not their wish to lose more.

I'd be inclined to agree, except that a lot of people can be real stupid about things like that. Even when it comes to their own interests.

There have been some instances of self-absorption, I will admit.

[ Cersei, anyone? ]

But it's better to keep a positive view, after all. Especially when I'm here- I have no idea what will happen.

I've been told that's a good way to live. Boldly going into the unknown.

What an interesting expression. Then again, I suppose that is basically what it amounts to.

Everything's an unknown. So how you go into it's the only thing you get to choose.

A well-spoken truth, and a lesson many should follow.

Maybe I'll have it printed. Put it up around the city, see how many people actually listen.

Some would, I'm sure. Others may not be as kind.

I'm used to dealing with the unkind.

Oh, are you? I suppose I am too, though it is hard to tell.

Seems to me that you might deal with it with a bit more grace than I could.

I will admit, I am considered rather graceful, though you seem polite enough to me.

That's mostly because I don't imagine you to be one of the foolish ones.

I'll be sure to keep that in mind henceforth.

Is that just how you talk, or are you poking fun?

Be assured, I rarely tease when it is not warranted.

Guess I'll have to make sure not to warrant it, then.

It's most like that you won't.

Why thank you, Miss.

There's no need to be so formal here. Call me Margaery.

When you talk like a lady, people are going to treat you like one. But if you insist, Margaery.

A lady can be addressed as formally or informally as she wishes. I see no reason to place myself higher than others.
