Alright, listen up, this one's to all the guys who've hit puberty.  Every one of you. You see this girl?

[He holds up a photo of ]

That's Ange. She's my kid. Real cute, right? I know. Well don't get thinking she's too cute, 'cause you're not allowed to talk to her.  If I catch any guys talking to her, I'm gonna track them down and gut them like a fish, you got it? Good.  Well here's a list of offenders so far after looking back on the bracelet. You guys are safe for now, but consider this your final warning.

[Because of the darkness and everything that had been happening recently. Ranka had been hard at work. When the band turns on, Ranka is wearing a large smile.]

Ah, I noticed that everyone was a little down after what just happened. So I wanted to tell everyone that no matter what we can work together to get through this! Also, it's important that we don't give up and keep trying together to make this place really shine!

[Her cheeks flush and she looked down.]

I know that it's hard sometimes, but we can do it. I know we can. I also worked hard to finish my song so that I could sing it for you. This is dedicated to you all!

[After a small pause she start to sing her new song.]

( Private to Rin Okumura )

[ There is darkness but that isn't new at all. However, it is new for one Daenerys Targaryen who is back in Asgard. Through the darkness one can hear ravens, shrill and angry and a gasp of a girl, though she is not visible. The shrill cries carry on but above them rises her own voice. ]

Drogon - Dracarys.

[ and then - light. As fire suddenly bursts and a hiss that is entirely different from the ravens is heard. In the light of the dragonfire, Dany's face can be seen, alarmed but determined as Drogon flies in front of her, cutting through the ravens as he breathes fire, shielding her enough so she could flee. Those of Sigyn house might hear her entering the house and a moment later- ]

Drogon -

[ the dragon moves back too, a door is shut and the video closes as she switches it to voice. ]

I return to find this city consumed by darkness. Tell me, what happened here?

Let's hope the one responsible for those monsters is gone for good.

[ There is a distinct amount of distance in her voice. She speaks quietly, as if she isn't entirely focused. What happened was traumatic for her. She was forced to do something she didn't want to do - again - and it's left her thinking far too much about the life from whence she came. ]

But if that isn't the case, how many of you know how to protect yourselves from monsters? Do you fight, or do you hide?

( privated to everyone BUT rue. )

( privated to peeta. )

You know, I thought I was done with this.

[Hey Asgard, have one annoyed looking Chinese man stare at the camera. Amused? Nope!]

I just got out of my mentor's body to only be stuck in this one?! Gods, I don't know if this is some cruel joke but seriously cut the bullshit. You're just making me dislike you even more.

And whoever is in my body, better not do anything stupid or you'll regret it.

[And she cuts it. Kira will be running around in the park just to clear her head. But yes, she's stuck in China's body.]

((OOC: All replies will come from aiyaatoooldforthis!))

[Hello Asgard! Today there will be one person on the network that is waking up to something new: and more specficially, different body. For one, it's a man who is seen and speaking.]

Nngh, my whole body feels out of place.

[Then Kira looks down and notices that her clothes are too small for her now and that she lacked a chest. Oh shit.]

The hell?!

[The camera doesn't catch it but she does check to see if something else was there and if that scream says anything, she found it.]

You have to be kidding me...!


((OOC: And Kira is under her first curse! Not only is she body swapped but she looks like her teacher/mentor Tommy Oliver. Yes, THAT Tommy from your childhood except older. She'll be stuck like this for an IC week.))

[The first thing viewers might notice is Rise's disheveled appearance. Some of her hair's fallen out of her pigtails, her face is smudged with something dark gray (ash, perhaps?), providing a stark contrast with her pale skin.]

U-um, hey guys. [Her voice, normally so chipper, is strained and hoarse.] I think we're going to need some healers ov--[She breaks off, coughing.] O-over here. We're in the castle's courtyard.

[Another coughing fit keeps her from saying anything else, and she simply shuts off the bracelet after the angle gives a good view of the courtyard, occupied by several other people in a similar state.]


(About an hour later, from the hospital):
If anyone's planning to leave the city through the gate, you should be careful. I don't know how far out we were, but we got caught by a group of fire creatures. They were really strong.

[She goes quiet, looking down at her hands.] Oh, and...can anyone tell me if we missed anything while we were gone? Thanks.


(ooc: Rise and a few other campers will probably make their way to the hospital themselves, but feel free to catch her along the way or after the second part. Also, Touya and Hilda will have their own log later for close CR, as might a few other campers, just as a note!

Edit: Threadjacking is encouraged, especially for people involved in the camper event!)

Does no one know how to use color around here!

[It’s another bright day in Asgard. Aladdin wakes up in a really good mood, he's excited to start the new day. He jumps out of bed or at least he tries to. Instead he falls flat on his face with his blanket landing on top of him. He’s really confused by what just happen and realizes that his legs feel like they've been tied together. He frowns in confusion before pulling back his sheet. He stares at what he finds there for a few minutes. His reaction]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHERE DID MY LEGS GO!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[As that scream implies, the bitty’s legs are missing or to be more specific instead of legs, there's a long snake's tail. It's actually a nice looking tail with a pearl white underbelly and shimmering jewel like blue scales above. The powers that be apparently decide to turn the kid into a naga. So it's not just his lower half that has been changed. However he'll be inspecting himself later Right now Aladdin will just e flailing about, half in panic and half trying to figure out how to move properly.]

[Sometime later.]

[The bracelet video turns on and Aladdin’s face is a little scuffed up. Anyone watching might not be paying any attention to that though. Since Aladdin’s face has changed as well. His pupils are silted and his ears are pointed at the end. When he finally speaks, someone will probably his teeth seem sharper and thinner. ]

Okay this is my second time being cursed this one is a lot different. I sort of need help with this…

[He changes the bracelet setting to show more than just his face this time. As the rest of him comes into view you can see he’s lounging on a couch. His long tail dangling over the edge move back and forth a little.]

I’m still trying to figure things out, so any help would good.

[He gives a sheepish smile before turning off the feed.]

I noticed a few new faces showing up on the bracelet and that and Sakura-chan's question made me think maybe it was time to put these out there again. Sorry for the long-timers -- I'll try and keep this short so there's as little repetition as possible!

Info on Asgard.
Sam-san's guide to the Gods and Powers.
Edmund-kun's summary of the situation here.
My own guide -- more detail than Edmund-kun's but it's incomplete!

We're working on a compilation of all three guides to make things easier, but for the moment you'll have to make do! Let us know what questions you have that aren't answered or that you'd like to see addressed -- Sena-neechan, the neighbours club is on the list, but you volunteered to do the write up, don't forget!

There's also a magic-centric guild for those interested in learning more about all sorts of magic. You can contact Aladdin-kun or Judal-san directly, or register with the guild here.

If you want to learn more about self-defence, try The Citadel. For using the powers that the gods gave us here, you want to listen out for a meeting of the Teacher's Council! That's when volunteers from each of the houses gather so you can ask questions and practice using your power with people who kind of know what they're doing. By the way, I'm one of the volunteers for Hel, so feel free to ask questions about Body Control.

Help Wanted!

- Making / Stocking Emergency Kits! We have two emergency kits for each Welcome Hall, and are gathering supplies to make more. The kits are free to anyone to use in an emergency situation and currently contain basic first aid supplies, canned food, torches, candles and space blankets. Seth-niichan and I are managing this project. We welcome donations of canned or packet food, cash or time, especially if you're someone with the power of drawing life!

- Volunteers with Healing Magic / Power Transfer / Damage Drain are always welcomed at the Hospital in Sigyn! Incidentally, the hospital blood bank is now available to Travellers who need blood to survive. Ask the lab staff for details!

- Musicians / Artists / Cooks / Anyone with experience in parties I have an idea I want to run by you! Please get in touch.

And that's all! It got long after all ... sorry! I'll try to do better next time.

Movie night's off.

((ooc: replies may be slow as I am on slowatus/Conan's moping so please feel free to threadjack/mingle/all that good stuff.))

I saw a lot of people objecting pretty strongly to the idea of forced physical affection, and it still happened. I guess that shows how much our opinion matters in the end.

[Yeah, she's still a little bitter, even if that event led to her relationship with Roxas. She heard Hanako's reply to Heimdall's post, and all the pain and anger vibrating through her voice, and it's set her off all over again.]

For future reference, gods: we don't like being forced to do anything. Not die or be stabbed, and not sing or hug people, either. Remember the opt-in events? They were better. Even if I was angry about the scavenger hunt after a war had been announced, it was better.

We're doing our best here. You don't have to force things along by removing our free will. You never know what will upset someone, and upset captives don't lead to the best situations. [Is that a threat against the ruling powers? Someone really has changed since she arrived here.] So if you're honestly asking for opinions, here's one: don't take away our free will again.

[And she briskly cuts the feed.]

[Rachel is wearing a salmon colored coat and is dragging a pink suitcase on wheels -- and it looks like she's been crying. She quickly wipes her eyes and draws in a trembling breath before she speaks with a sense of authority that is unbecoming of a seventeen year old girl. Especially one that looks like she's very much out of her element.]

I demand some further explanation from someone who does not appear like they have taken part in a Stephen King movie. I've walked around the city a little, trying to find my friends, and --

[And here, Rachel deflates slightly.]

... I was on a train and -- Finn, I was holding his hand, and I don't --

[She lets out a breath, her cheeks puffing out slightly. Get your head on straight, Berry. You can do this. You are in control of this situation. You can make yourself presentable and get answers.

And suddenly, Rachel straightens her shoulders, her jawline sets, and she takes a deep breath to make herself sound calmer. She is not going to panic. This is obviously some grief induced hallucination spurred on by being separated from the people she loves. She can make her way through this psychosis like any proper starlet does.

By maintaining a positive public image.]

Assuming that I have not officially lost my mind... hello, fellow trapped Asgardians. My name is Rachel Berry. I am in the house of Freyr and I am supposed to be on a train to New York City in order to begin my --

[Tears are beginning to start again, but Rachel grits her teeth and grips the handle of her suitcase tightly as she stares into the hologram created by her bracelet. Though she looks a mess and her mascara is running down her cheeks, she seems to have a certain conviction about her. This girl wants answers. And she wants them yesterday.]

Why I was en route to the city doesn't particularly matter. What matters is that I must find my way out of here promptly.

Please let me know how to get out of here as soon as possible -- or where to contact proper authorities, and while this might sound slightly racist, ones that have faces, because my last attempts at negotiating this hostage situation fell flat when the faceless people stared at me blankly with -- whatever they stare at as they haven't got eyes --

[And Rachel draws in yet another trembling breath, to stop herself from panicking, before she utters out a weak:]

I just want to go home and my cell phone won't call my dads. The joke isn't funny anymore, okay, I get it, let's all make fun of Rachel Berry for one last hurrah while she is going through the biggest transitional period of her life, hilarious, you can all stop filming now -- !

[And she abruptly sinks down to sit on her suitcase, the video feed jilting oddly, before she mumbles another -- ]

Really funny.

What the hell's wrong with everybody? Singing these weirdass songs... This one of those tricks the gods play, or is everyone messed in the head?

You'll never catch me giving in to that...

[And he starts singing uncontrollably, trying to hide it and switch off the video, but, 40-something from the 80's, what is dealing with technology.]

I am Jack Bauer
always in danger
I am Jack Bauer
I never die
I am Jack Bauer
I get pissed easily
I am Jack Bauer
I'm actually a cry baby...

[When the feed starts, the voice doesn't speak to the network but rather sings a tune that not many know of. Well, it's only because it's the singer's own music. Since her power involves singing, the emotions that anyone can feel is simple happiness.

Whoops, can't control her own power yet. When she finishes, she addresses the network.]

I guess I hit some kind of spurt when I have to sing otherwise it'll drive me crazy. Who else is being hit by this?

[The feed comes on with a bit of a jittery image. Obviously the result of some messing around and trying to find how things work. The blond in focus seems to have her attention on a cell phone. Well, looks like a cell phone, she really doesn't hold it still long enough for a good picture.]

...Guess that lady was right, it really doesn't work anymore. This isn't good, if Master Ji finds out...

[Pocketing the phone, Emily noticed the bracelet. Smiling at her own goof there, oops.]

Oh hi! Sorry, I forgot I turned this on. This bracelet thing is pretty cool, especially with the touchscreen. Feels like I'm in a scifi movie or something. Anyway, hi my name's Emily, I'm rooming over in Sigyn. I actually got here not too long ago...which you might've already guessed [ahem], but I think I get what's going on. We're supposed to save the city, right? That's fine I guess, but I wish they would have picked a better time. My friends are probably really worried about me.

Right, speaking of which, I'm not really sure if they're in the city but I'm looking for my friends. Their names are Jayden, Kevin, Mike, Mia, and Antonio. Has anyone heard from any of them? It would be great to know if they're here, or at least that they're safe.

No! No, you can't just -- you can't just write me off! You can't buy me with your lies. I am not a pawn!

[ But her arguments fall on deaf, uncaring ears, and eventually she's shoved into a city much brighter than what she expected. It almost reminds her of the Capitol. Immediately, she feels sick to her stomach. ]

Fine, don't answer my questions – but don't expect me to sit here and let you do whatever you want! I'm not part of their games anymore, and I'm not going to be a part of yours. I want to know where Peeta is, right now. Is he alive? [ To the lack of answer, she just gets angrier. ]

Is anyone even listening? Is Peeta Mellark alive? Tell me!

[Tohru's by the Gate of Fog, eager, but holding herself back, even if just barely, shown by how close she is and how tightly she's balling up her hands in determination.]

They said we could leave if we wanted and return home. [And yes, of course, she fully believes that.]

Does anyone want to go together?
