[ There's a boy looking a little tired, as though a boy his age stayed up past his bed time.

But he also looks distinctly annoyed, but it is so minute it's hard to tell. ]

Did anyone got any presents today? 'Cause I just did.

[ Never mind that his present is less to be desired. You can see it behind him, on his bed.

Why can't he be given a toy car or something. That would be better than a reminder of an attempted attack on Jesse's life. ]
 
 
[ she had left merlin to deal with the things her brother had managed, had gone to the citadel once and then again to look around and try to think what she might do with the place. the woman of asgard were not village women, they were warriors in part. but in part, they were ladies and learned-women. if she can teach them to fight then why not.

but the longer she sits in her room and thinks of it the more something begins to form in her mind and by the time it finally sets in, she knows what she must do. she ought to address the city formally and yet she thinks they might see (the lines of worry, the signs of heartbreak); and so so conceals the pain behind a text. ]


People of Asgard, I hope this finds you well.

I will not speak to you of the departure of my brother, for Merlin had spoken of it and has addressed all that must have been addressed. I do not come to you with offers of employment nor with announcements of any sorts for I know you have heard those already.

I come to you as my brother's sister and the last Pendragon to still linger within the borders of Asgard. We were three once, you might remember. There was the king, my brother Arthur who was King of Camelot after him and myself.

My brother held no formal alliances in this land, he had no sworn knights that I know of, no wards that I heard word of. Yet I know, as I have known Arthur for many years, that he has sought to help all those he met and in doing so, I am certain he had aided many in the city. There are many who would miss him nearly as much as I.

For those who my brother had sought to help, for those he held in his favor, I offer the same. I cannot retrieve my brother from his duties in Camelot. I can, however, as the last Pendragon in Asgard, keep true to his efforts and offer my favor to all those he had before his departure. If you require my aid, my comfort or my favor, you may address me and I shall do my best to offer you the same my brother would have. I know he would have wanted as much, I do not mean to fail him.


I would be very grateful if you shall seek me if the need arises. I can be found in the Citadel or at Thor District. If the Gods of Asgard are reading these words; on behalf of my brother, I offer sympathies for the slumber of Odin and I offer my aid to Thor who now rules in his place.

Morgana of house Pendragon;
Lady of Camelot

[The video opens to a tired, very surly looking Professor Snape. He's lost weight since the last time he appeared on the network with an announcement addressed to the Travellers; his sallow face is thinner, the bags under his eyes are more pronounced, and he looks like he's aged a good few years. This city is truly starting to take a toll on him.

He's in his school office, at his desk. When he speaks, he's curt, churlish and absolutely no-nonsense.]


For those of you who are new to Asgard, or for those of you who failed to pay a modicum of attention to the previous announcements I made concerning the matter in which I'm about to address, my name is Professor Snape and I am the Headmaster of the Albus Dumbledore Academy, a school of education and tutelage, which I have established in Odin district.

The school is open for anyone eighteen years and under who wishes to pursue an education, be that in mathematics, literature, science, or any other number of subjects on offer.

Enrollment and attendance to my school is voluntary; however, should you so choose to undertake an education, allow me to make it very clear that I do not tolerate tardiness, disrespect, insolent behaviour or acts of misdemeanour. Any student who chooses to commit any such offences will be reprimanded severely. [Severus is looking straight at you, Mr. Stilinski.]

Of course, I am always in need of assistance with regards to the running and upkeep of the school, be that teachers, tutors or those who may be able to offer assistance in other ways. If you possess any useful skills that you feel would benefit the Albus Dumbledore Academy, I invite you to step forward and make yourself known.

Direct any queries or concerns to either myself or to my secretary, Miss Gallagher.

[She's been here some time now, and while she's avoided a certain function of the device, today she's just bored enough to play around with it.]

[Okay, it's a bit of keysmashing at first.]

egritt
Eeeegritte
[No, that's not right.]

Ygritte.
arse neeler Southron dirty crows cock


[Okay, so she gets it. It's still slow going, and she doesn't understand why. So that's when she eventually switches over to voice. It would take too long to type that out, and her mouth works just fine nearly as good as Jon Snow's tongue.]

I don't know what magic made me learn me letters, but I suppose it makes this more useful.

Anyway a man gave me the idea t'make me own weapons. I'm no smith, and the metals we have above the Wall are softer than all this. But I can make blunt, strong enough axes. I've used bone for knives meself. I'm willin' t'make some if people need any. I've heard enough o' this war, and it isn't mine, but y'shouldn't be with none either.

[So look at that, she's helping.]

Oh, and Arya, I've work and coin for you, if you still want it.
 
 
[ the woman on the video is smiling, though anyone who knows her can tell you that's a pretty scary thing to be happening. still, this isn't for people who know her; it's for the general population, and she's doing her best to not be scary. for the most part, there aren't many in asgard who know who she is - at least, not by sight. she's a nobody. and she likes it that way. ]

Everyone should come to the bar I work at.

[ straight to the point, blunt. ]

You get a nice drink, I get tips, we both go home happy. I've recommended it before, but things tend to be a bit slow after mayhem.. and honestly, I'd hate to see this place close.

[ mostly because it's a cover for her to pick up all the happening gossip in the city. but if the travelers don't come, then she doesn't have anything to listen to but natives. still, she doesn't seem untrustworthy from the video, and that's the entire point. ]

Whatever you want to drink, I can make it. Or at least, something extremely similar; this place doesn't have everything you'd expect by way of alcohol. So, give it a shot.

[ attached to her message is a map to the bar and a menu. ]

Asgard again, huh? So. What did I miss? Seems like I was away for a bit there at least. And knowing this place, anything could have happened. Though things seem calm enough that I can tell.

Pyro, you better not have gotten into too much trouble without me. Anyway, if anyone could fill me in, that would be great.

[ Wichita's been here, roughly, five days. and all she's done is wander around looking for her sister and decidedly not wasting her time talking to anybody else that happens to look her way. maybe it would be easier to literally ask around if anybody's seen Little Rock, but to be honest, she's kind of freaked out that there are people to ask at all. just- people. she's never been scared of crowds ( let's be real, they're a pickpocket's goldmine ) and she's never been shy, she just hasn't actually dealt with this many healthy human beings in almost three months. it's like culture shock, only a little worse, considering she was apparently brought here by a bunch of norse gods. what the hell, right? at least they had showers here. she never appreciated hot water so much in her life.

so she's been cruising around the city on foot, hands stuffed in the pockets of her leather jacket, gun tucked into the back of her jeans, as always. like everything might flip over at any minute and reveal that yeah, it's just a dream, and yeah, she has to wake up and fight for her life. something like that. who knows.

two days into her stay, she started watching the network. war talk, boring talk, weird talk, power talk. it was all so, so surreal. but it backs up what that little intro video said, that they were all brought here to fight a war of the worlds or something, so she's kept her eyes and ears open, and her mouth shut.

until now.

five days and still no sign of her sister? yeah. it's time to speak up.

not about that, of course, not about her. but speaking up in general. she's kind of on edge at this point, not hysterical or anything, but clearly annoyed. it's for the best people can't see her, because she's got a scowl to end all scowls on her face. a n n o y e d.
]

So. What happens if you've been brought here and your whole world is already torn to shit? We're supposed to be fighting for our world's survival, but I'm already doing that back home, and to be honest, it makes this place look like a playground. So what's my motivation here, what's my angle? No, seriously. All ears. Please.

Also, I'll be needing directions to the cheapest bar in town, as soon as possible.

So I really need a job. [ Sam's made some money busking around the city but it's not enough to pay for rent to share a place with Satan, aka Santana Lopez. ]

I have experience back home working at Dairy Queen and I was also an erotic entertainer. [ A stripper in other words. He pauses thoughtfully. ] Not at Dairy Queen. I probably would have got thrown out if I stripped there. The stripping was somewhere else. But I don't really want to go back to doing that. [ He's not that desperate for money. Not anymore. ]

Anyway, I'm a hard worker and I like to sing... Actually, if someone could hire me to sing all day, that'd be awesome. Maybe like a singing waiter or something?

I also make art! Out of macaroni. Y'know, the pasta. Here's one I did of one of the gods.

[ Sam presents a portrait of Thor but made out pasta. Picture something like this but with Thor's face. ]

If anyone's interested in hiring me, let me know. [ And with Sam done listing his, uh, unique hobbies, he's about to end the video when he gets distracted by something in his lap. ] Blaine, did you just poop on me? Gross, dude.

[ Don't worry, Blaine isn't a person--well, he is, but Sam's talking to his new pet, Blaine the hamster, who's wearing a tiny bowtie. The footage ends on Blaine. ]

Anyone else get that lightheaded lack of equilibrium kind of tilt o whirl feeling when the gods decide to yo yo them back to real time for a little while?

The time line discrepancies are the least of my worries right now

Whatd I miss?


[Private: Sam and Castiel (Separately)]

We need to talk

[Private: Nat, Charlie, and Jo (Separately)]

Hows my favorite girl?

[Private: Daphne Allen]

In case I didnt mention

[SPAM, OPEN]

[Selina is out practicing with her whip. And it's every bit as noisy as you'd think, because she's doing a hell of a lot of marksman training. She has a picture--the picture given to her here--of her and Bruce Wayne propped up beside the leaves and bits of garbage she's found and subsequently shredded with her whip. The picture is untouched. Every time she goes to cut it in half, she changes her mind.]

[VIDEO]

[So she finally makes a post when she's sweating and out of breath, because it's been a long time coming anyway.]

All right, here's what I need: a sewing kit, some fabric, and my own place as soon as possible. I don't share well.... But if you happen to be my roommate, feel free to speak up and make yourself known.

And are there any animals around here? Mice and birds are a plus.

[ Tessa’s voice comes out of the blue, nervous and shaky. ]

-bably working now.

Hello? Hello? Is this thing working?

[ Rustling, shuffling, panting. But not crying or sobbing, Tessa doesn’t whine. She’s wondering for how long will that last though. ]

I am just going to assume I have managed to turn this on. The screen appeared, as well as that…list. I think it was a list, although it was so very colorful…and not very helpful, if I might say so myself. [ Tessa could totally make a better list, okay. ]

But pardon my manners, it’s just that such a rude change of setting- I have lost my composure. My name is Miss Gray, Miss Tessa Gray, from Manhattan New York, 1878, although I must admit that I was in London before I ended up here, not that it matters terribly now. I cannot fathom the reasons behind these summons, but seeing as how I cannot do a thing to go back- [ And excuse her if she sounds hurt about this; she has been kidnapped before, and it sucked. ] –I humbly offer my services and my full intention to help with whatever necessary, little as it might be.

[ Just don’t ask her to go killing monsters, because that’s more like the job of her friends. ]

I would be much obliged to you if you could please let me know if any of these names sounds familiar to you: Will Herondale, James Castairs, Charlotte and Henry Branwell and Jessamine Lovelace. These are, ah, I suppose they are my only friends, and I would feel much better knowing whether they are present here or not.

[ There is a pause… ]

Lord, I certainly hope this thing is wor-

[ And then the message ends. ]

Okay, so. Now that all that...being corrupted stuff seems to be over. I have a couple of things. Questions.

First, someone who visited my apartment mentioned the idea of selling my paintings. I have no idea if anyone would actually be interested, and I'm sure there are others out there better than me with that drawing life stuff. Figured it couldn't hurt to ask or whatever.

[And with the mentions of her paintings, Kara uses the bracelet to show an example of her work, painted on her apartment's walls. She's still somehow drawn to the mandala, that pattern of the Eye of Jupiter. That and her poem feature most prominently.]

More importantly, I figure everyone should know at least some basic self defense. Even the kids and healers, if possible. So if something happens again when some of us are off on some trip, things might not get so....chaotic. I'm not saying we all need to be military or anything, but some basic self defense would probably help and could mean the difference between you getting hurt or killed. Even if death isn't permanent here, that still doesn't mean we shouldn't try to avoid it if possible.

I was told Arthur would be one to talk to about that sort of thing. I know how to use guns, and knives. Basic hand to hand stuff myself, but other weapons you might want to talk to someone else.

Also, is it just me or has it been getting a bit colder? Been a while since I was planet-side and experienced seasons and all, I guess.

[ When the feed clicks on, there is a face tilted very close to the feed, peering in too close to make sure it's working. He pulls back with a bright grin and shouts over his shoulder. ]

Mimir, Mimir! Look what Little Loki made, isn't this great? Come say hello to our Travellers!

[ Another man - Mimir - gives a soft huff offscreen before coming over and sitting beside the first. His expression is much more calm and composed, but he still effects a polite enough smile while the other slips away from the screen. ]

Hello, Travellers. Please forgive Honir's excitement. It's been a very long time since either of us have been to our home here in Asgard, and- [ - Mimir stops with a startled ah as hands appear over his head, snapping a pair of cat ears across his hair. Honir pops his head over Mimir's shoulder, wearing his own pair of mouse ears. ]

Now we're a pair, see?

Honir ...

I want to see you dressed up too, Asgard! [ His excitement dims just a little to something more somber, but still sweet. ] We know things have been hard lately, and I'm sorry we weren't here to help. So for the next few days, we're going to honour you guys as the heroes you are with a festival in the castle courtyard. Come shake off the Ice Queen's nasty influence with a bit of fun with us tomorrow!

[ Mimir starts to speak again, just as Honir grins cheekily and lifts his hand to scritch behind the furry cat ears. With a resigned sigh that is only about sixty percent authentic, he concludes: ]

We look forward to seeing all of you out there.

[ OOC: This is the IC kick-off to the October festival! Details on the event can be found here and the log will go up on the 8th! ]
 
 
04 October 2013 @ 08:31 pm
[Hello Asgard, there is a familiar--to some--face on the network, which hasn’t been seen in awhile. Castiel is back from being grey, and he’s never taking off his bracelet again.

Okay, he totally will, but not without good reason.

Being grey hadn’t been bad, really, as he didn’t remember much of it, but that itself isn’t pleasant, and so he’s a bit displeased with life. Not to mention he’s been gone for a few weeks, and he’s certain that a great deal has happened in his absence.]


It seems we have been gone for some time.

[At least his voice is back, though it’s quiet and serious as he speaks.]

I am certain we have missed something of import. Is everyone accounted for? What happened?

[Where are their friends; are they still here, or have they gone?

Both of which are good questions, save for the fact that when Daphne appears on the screen, it doesn’t look like she was a willing active participant in the making of this film. Her hair is slightly messy and she looks sleepy, dressed in an overlarge shirt that hangs off of her shoulders a little. She hears Castiel speaking more than notices the recording and promptly drapes herself over his shoulders, kissing his jaw lazily.]


You should come back to bed.

[It’s said in a rather informative, but sleepy tone, and she rests against his back with her arms still loosely curled around his neck.

Castiel frowns back at her, not because he dislikes the attention but because he is doing something important. Also because he doesn’t like being affectionate in public.]


Daphne, this is not the time.

You’re the one who turned on the camera, not me. Now let’s see…

[She reaches out with a hand to adjust Castiel’s bracelet, smiling peacefully at the recorder from her position on her husband’s shoulder.]

Hello, Asgard. As you can see, we’re back -- and if you need emergency healing, please go to the Sigyn hospital. If the hospital needs us, then we’ll be called. Sam, Dean, and Jo can come by to visit in an hour, along with Arthur and Morgana and the rest -- but until then, we’re unavailable.

[And Daphne presses her lips against Castiel’s neck before inching her fingers toward the bracelet.]

Satisfied?

[And the feed clicks off as soon as Daphne finds the button on her husband’s bracelet.]
 
 
01 October 2013 @ 05:37 pm
[The feed starts and there's Inara looking concerned, seems to be a normal expression for her in Asgard. It's been a while since she's made an appearance on the network. Being sent home hadn't been something she'd expected.

There's a faint bruise on her cheek, though it's faded to the point that it's almost concealed by her makeup.]


I've only heard what's happened here while many of us were in Vanaheim. [She looks down for a moment, her lips pressing together.] I... I can't even begin to express how sorry I am for what you all who stayed behind went through.

I know it doesn't mean much, but... I would like to once again offer tea or even coffee for any who wish to talk, or if you'd just prefer to sit and not, that's fine as well. I don't get to use much of my training as a Companion here, though listening has always been something we're good at.
 
 
01 October 2013 @ 06:44 pm
[The feed opens on the remains of a pretty grisly scene, in Sigyn district. There's dried blood all over the place, like someone beheaded another person here, and there's some graffiti reading "the deer jumped from the cliff". Then it turns around, and oh, look--Elphaba does not, in any way, look happy.

In fact, she looks downright pissed.]


All right. [And yes, she sounds more than a little angry. She sounds like she's going to fly straight off the handle any minute now.] What in Oz happened while we were away?
 
 
[ she's been laying low for the night, after the life was breathed back into her body from the gods, the last words she heard echoing in her ears. this is your penance; damning and deserved, the last thing that she could focus on as she crawled across the cold ground towards her bracelet, trying to reach someone before --

it had been too late. everything had gone dark. she hadn't saved a damn person and now it seemed like she never would. maybe he'd been right to do what he did to her; but there were still people she had to protect. moving through the mess of the city paralyzed by fear, she recovered her weapons from the bar where she worked, careful to keep out of the way of anyone who knew her. she wasn't ready to reveal herself yet.

it was only after she was fully armed, suited up that she opened a channel to the network, one of the rare times she actually showed her face - mostly for the benefit of the avengers, assassins and connor and dean. ]


I'm back. [ terse, short words. ] I'm ready. What's the damage?

[ filtered to tony stark, bruce banner, steve rogers ]

current positions and status? were any of you taken out in the attack?
 
 
24 September 2013 @ 11:06 pm
[ I'm sorry, Asgard. I know you're in the middle of something incredibly serious right now, but Ash has only just woken up from his week-long nap. He has no idea what's going on. In fact, he doesn't even seem to realize that his communicator is on and filming him as he stirs from the pool table in the Roadhouse and cracks his back with a grunt.

Let's take a look at our sleeping beauty: His glorious mullet has been dyed rainbow colors, a Freddie Merrcury 'stache has been drawn in sharpie on his lip, and someone's put some very stylish aviators on him. The vision of loveliness. As he sits up and grabs for his communicator, he finally sees himself.
]

Oh, man. Talk about the rockstar look. [ Flashing a quick, exhausted sign of the horns 4 u all right here. ] Must've been out of it. Pretty cool look, though. Might keep it for awhile.

So, catch me up, Asgard. Give me deaths, invasions, arrivals, who won the Super Bowl. Anything you've got, Dr. Badass is here to listen.
 
 
24 September 2013 @ 02:00 pm
[The feed starts out dark and shaky; it's hard to see anything beyond a pair of bloodshot, vivid blue eyes of the Eighth Doctor, looking terrified and guilt-striken.]

Please...help.

Nonononono. Stay away. I'll hurt you.

Oh, but no, you have to stop us. Keep us away from the children.

[A shaking hand, covered in layers of dried and fresh blood, rakes through his hair, streaking the curls in red.]

It's not us! I swear, we can't control it. I've tried. I'VE TRIED.

It's her! Thiazi--

[His expression freezes for a moment, then his eyes grow cold and a little malevolent grin plays at the corners of his mouth.]

--is always in control. Do give my regards to the Romanov woman.

Ta ta!

[The Doctor lets out a low chuckle, lifts the stained sword in his free hand, and the feed shuts off.]
 
 
21 September 2013 @ 07:42 pm
[ Gunn isn't easily shaken, but the sight of the bodies in the trees outside his welcome house has just about managed in. He is, in a single word, pissed. ]

We any closer to figuring out who did this? 'Cause I'm telling you now - you think there's a chance it might be you, do us a favor and turn yourself in. Damn. I was just starting to like this place, too.
