[Scrolling along the streets of Asgard you’ll find a small boy is…committing acts of vandalism? Well he is certainly painting a weird circle shaped design on the wall of that build over there. The design is made up of bunch of symbols, it looks harmless though but who knows with the weird things this city throws at you.]

There that should be the last one. [He certainly looks pleased with himself as he finishes up his work. He closes a jar of weird looking black paint put it and his brush into a large rucksack. Just as he about to leave the design suddenly flashes white and then begins to glow going from white to blue to gold. Now this situation has gone from odd to freaky. Not that the kid is even paying any attention to this and he'll head off on his way if you don't stop him.]


((OOC: If you want to figure out what going on you can catch Aladdin in the act anytime throughout most of the city. ))

[Hibiki looks pretty tired today. But this time, it's not because of fights of any sort-- instead, the cause is a small creature snoozing away on her lap. At the moment, its back is not lit in the slightest.]

I got an egg a while ago, and it finally hatched. I was wondering if I was taking care of it okay, but it seems to be healthy.

[She pets the Pokémon affectionately on the head, and it gives a tiny yawn before snuggling its face into its paws.]

It's so small and warm...

[Oops, distracted! She faces the camera again.] Umm... I don't think I'll be able to go to the hospital today. I want to make sure he gets fed once he wakes up again, and I need some time to go over the book so I don't mess up when I take care of him.

I was thinking, though... Red-san, is it okay if I name him? I'm not sure if that's allowed with Pokémon, so I just wanted to ask... Er, but I'm not really sure if he's a boy, either. Ummm... How do you check that, anyway?

Oh, and, umm... If anybody has any tips on how to raise a Pokémon, I'd like to hear them. This is the first one I ever got, and I don't think raising a Pokémon is anything like raising a homunculus, so... I'd appreciate it very much!

( filtered away from itsuki so hard.. except not much at all since she isn't great with filters but if willpower could be a filter this would be fort knox, pretty much. )

.. Look, this is probably going to sound really weird to suddenly ask this after everything that happened, but.. I need serious opinions here, okay?! No trying to be funny!

[ She takes a deep breath - honestly, saying any of this is already difficult enough, but she doesn't have anyone specific to ask about this.. the woes of being friends with guys and moe girls all over, not to mention everyone she knows from back home is gone too by now - even Nanase's bracelet can't be reached anymore. So the network is the last option left.. ]

So.. the situation is-- no, let's start over! What I just want to ask is.. what do you do when someone confesses to you? You know, confessing in the.. the romantic kind of way! [ sputtering. ] I already know the answer is accepting or rejecting it, but what if you don't know which one you should pick?!

[ aka 'how do i deal with my own tsun 101', apparently.. ]

Is this how it works, then? Amazing!... Oh, but I shouldn't waste time.

[ the girl in the feed leans over to pull a large armored penguin into view, who flails awkwardly at the camera. HELLO THERE ASGARD. ]

To anyone who may be watching, my name is Platina Berlitz. I've only just arrived here, but I'd greatly appreciate some assistance! I think that empoleon is sick somehow. I don't know if this city has a pokemon center, but if anyone could help her, please let me know!

1. MORNING, ACTION - EVERYWHERE

So Regina has slowly been noticing that things aren't quite the same as they used to be whenever she uses her power. In fact, today she's out buying a large quantity of ingredients at the store (with whatever money she has left over from fees from her various performances with Sinbad the lion) for a secret project she has going, and as a result, something very odd is happening all around Asgard.

A long line of besotted natives are trailing after her as she walks along - the line is impossible to miss, and whenever the effect wears off on one of them (she's not yet at level three!) and they go wandering off, another joins the queue right behind. Regina is letting them carry her stuff. She innocently sees nothing wrong with it, and will probably give anyone else who passes her a blast of level two Freya magic. And a hug.

For the love of god/s, someone stop her.

2. AFTERNOON, VIDEO/ACTION - FREYA HOUSE

Later on, a tearful face appears on the feed from the Freya Welcome House kitchens. Anyone in the area will probably notice the awful, cloying stink of burnt sugar in the air and general smoky atmosphere. ]

I...I tried to cook, I really did! Even with all the help I got out there! But it still...IT STILL DIDN'T WORK!!

[ Wailing, she presents a ruined pot filled with a gooey, unrecognisable brown substance. ]

You'll still like me, right Asgard? I didn't mean to. I just wanted to make some caramel apples for you all! Especially since the dark happened. Um...if anyone could teach me, I'd be sooooooooo happy.

[ She puts on her most winning, adorable smile. Her face is still a little red from her tears. ] Thanks! I know I can count on you...

[Video]
[So, there's a new face in Asgard who hadn't even bothered to do a bracelet post until now, which is apparent when the feed turned on.]

...

[Yeah, he's staring at it for a second or so, looking pretty awkward since what is interacting with strangers.It took him a few more minutes before he turned the feed off and didn't even bother with an explanation.]

[Action]

[Some of you might find that the stranger from earlier on is just loitering around the Thor District with a bored look on his face, looking at the buildings without even noticing anything else apart from their architecture, clearly this is grounds for someone to bother him at this time of the day...]

[The video cuts in to a slightly tense-looking, but relatively composed teenager in medieval armor.]

- am I doing this right? I confess I've never seen magic quite like this in nature. It must be remarkably convenient, though…!

I -

[He pauses for half a second. He's not sure if anyone from his homeland is here, but depending on who is, it could make life quite a bit more complicated if the wrong people were here and knew about him. So while he was about to give his name, he quickly changes gears to -]

- would not wish to leave this land in need, if it truly requires our help, but nor can I afford to tarry here long, when my own homeland is still in grave danger and my help is needed there. I would like to know exactly what is expected of us, as the letter was not...particularly specific. The more we know, the sooner we can fulfill this duty, and I can hardly be the only one here who is needed elsewhere.
