[Arya has been fiddling with the bracelet, looking at all its settings, even trying to pry it apart, but with no success. As she addresses the network now, she looks a little frustrated, to say the least.]

There's a way, isn't there, of hiding your name from the network? There has to be. She wouldn't just leave, she wouldn't. She was going to free us, she told me so.

[She starts fiddling with the bracelet again, inadvertantly switching off the feed as she does so.]


[A couple of hours later, she's back. She looks tired and angry, but speaks in a much calmer tone than she did earlier, like she's given up.]

For those who knew her, the Khaleesi - Daenerys Targaryen - has left. Drogon, too.



[OOC: sorry I've been so inactive since I got back, hopefully this will kickstart my motivation.]

[he comes on looking frazzled, hair unruly and looking stunned, and worried beyond all belief]

Something foul has taken those around us. Please tell me; those who have changed, is there any way to shake them from it?

[ As it happens, the boy's voice could be a little quieter, a little more distant - possibly, if he'd ridden in with a horde of the undead. ]

How do you... resign?

[ Slight pause. ]

When I tried to, they weren't the right words. Right sounding. Right on paper. Right to think abou - ...right. Sorry. That's impolite to ask all of a sudden, without a proper greeting. My bad.

[ A hint louder, more rehearsed - ]

Good day. Pleased to meet you. How do you do.

[ And now back to the pathetic old track. ]

If it's all the same to you: how do you resign from something like this?

[ So, do you remember Raven, Asgard? Unfortunately, she doesn't remember any of you. Raven sits tall, back straight, looking directly at the video feed ]

I don't like this place already. Apparently they brought us here so that we could bring color to their world? I feel like someone's trying to make fun of me.

[ She looks less than impressed. She assumes that it's clear as to why she feels like she's being made fun of, and needs no explanation. Bright yellow eyes, red hair and most importantly, there's her blue skin and scales ( both of which are on full display with her sitting there, completely naked ) ]

I'm proud of who I am [ finally ] and I'm not going to let someone treat me like this.

[ She huffs a little and rolls her eyes, but she's calming down regardless ]

So this place is called Asgard and they replace whatever we could do at home with whatever they want to when they bring us here. They do that, and still expect us to help them. I think I would rather find a way back home, where I know what I'm supposed to be doing, and where I know people respect me.

[He may not have noticed right away, but it didn't take too long to realize that a certain someone was missing. He couldn't contact him over the network, he couldn't find him when he looked... the Riku he knew, the one from the datascape...? It looked like he might be gone. Like that strange anonymous person had talked about, a while ago. Did that mean Riku had forgotten everything from here? He's sad, and a little worried.

But talking about it when Riku had asked him not to tell people about him - especially the other Sora - made things complicated. And Sora wanted to keep that promise even if Riku wasn't here. He can't just forget about the situation though. And he doesn't want to.

The voice that addresses the network might be a little less upbeat and much more subdued than normal, but otherwise is still fairly cheerful.]

So uh... what's everyone's best friend like?

[And now, just to be sure...]

[Locked to Riku]

I... can't find the other Riku. The one from the datascape. He's... not here anymore, is he?

[As the video feed starts, you can see the beautiful white towers of stately Gladsheim Palace before Aika comes into view, leaning on the fence that separates the castle from the rest of the city. She has a cunning smile on her face, as if she's formulating a plan.]

So, this castle. It's supposed to be impenetrable, right? But has anyone actually tried to get back in? If so, what did you do, and why do you think it didn't work?

((OOC: And with this, I'm back from my admittedly short hiatus.))

 [He'd practiced with this thing a few times before actually recording with it.  From what he could tell, he'd gotten the hang of it.  The technology behind it just wasn't something he understood, but it was really impressive.  Sort of what he'd imagined technology should be like in this day and age-- or well, his own day and age.  The video starts, and he looks a bit serious.]

My name is Kyohei Kadota.  I've read Norse myths, but I didn't think they really existed.

[And now looks like he's barely containing a grin.  It wasn't every day that something he'd read in a book turned out to be real to this degree.  It actually made him pretty excited.]

The Library [left him speechless] is pretty great.  I think I'll be there a lot today, so I'd like to talk to anybody.  Anything anybody can tell me about this place is great.  How exactly do we bring color and life back here?

[This was great.  It felt like a real quest.]

Oh, one more thing.  If you know of a good job, I'm looking for one.

[Action for Odin house]

[While he knew there was someone in the room connected to his, he hadn't met them yet, only heard them.  Today, rather than spend all his time exploring the city, Kadota has decided to hang around his room and wait for them to see who it was.  He had his suspicions from the clothing, hair things, paints, and items left in the bathroom - it had to be a girl - but he really should find out, at least, a name.  

For now he'll be playing with his frost power on the bathroom mirror.  It was cool.  Not just cool, amazing.  It was one of the best things he'd ever experienced; it was really hard to believe he wasn't dreaming.  The grin on his face is just impossible to smother.]

[The feed turns on, and a very beautiful young woman appears on the screen -- one who looks more than a little concerned over her current situation. She's standing in front of Freya's Welcome Hall at the moment.] I think this should work.

[There's a pause -- Asami's taking a look at her surroundings before she returns to face the screen.] If there is anyone out there who can help me, please. My name is Asami -- Asami Sato -- and I need to get back home to Republic City.

And even if there's no way of me getting back, there has to be some means of communication that I can use, right?

Please let me know. I just need to at least let my friends know that I'm okay.
