[The feed opens on... one of the grey people? No, wait, trolls are normally that color. It's Aradia, rubbing her wrist momentarily as she readjusts to the feeling of the bracelet there. Yeah, guess who left it home like a dumbass. She's mostly back to her original coloration, although there's still some grey in her hair, the black working its way slowly down each strand. She tosses her head to get it back behind her shoulders, but still seems a little disoriented.]

Okay, uh... that was weird, and not in a good way. I think I maybe ... forgot who I was, for a minute there.

[She squints up at something.]

... Wait, no. It was night. What time is it? Did I fall asleep?


((ooc: OKAY LEMME JUST. TRY AND DRAG MYSELF OUT OF THE HIATUS HOLE.))

[This is Inori, sitting in the living room of the house she shares with Shu and Gai in Odin district. At the moment, she has a basket sitting beside her, one full of clothes that she is folding. Funnell is currently sitting beside and folding away as well, until a white kitten with a black spot on its back comes rolling by, tangled in something.

It appears to be one of Inori's rather lacy, pink bras. And the kitten is chewing on one of the straps while sitting in the left cup. Both folders stop to watch it with completely deadpan looks before Inori reaches out to take back her undergarment.]

Onigiri.... give that back. [She reaches for her bra, but the kitten continues to hang onto it. Inori glances at her bracelet, completely unfazed that this is on display.]

Why would a cat want to play with this? [She dangles the pink bra in full view for everyone to see.]

Here's hoping. ]

Eh?? Hello?

If this works like a forum as advertised...!

[ There's a long break. He collects his thoughts and continues. ]

This bracelet is very... unique. I would also use that same word to describe Asgard as a whole, but now I think 'impressionable' would be more accurate.

( ;ﾟДﾟ) There's another word too, but I don't really want to make anybody angry.

Oh! Is anyone here from Ikebukuro? I know it's a little hopeful to assume that I'll personally know anyone currently in Asgard who claims they are from there. Still, it can't hurt to ask.

Honestly, I believe the only intent I should have right now is finding familiar faces, despite my doubt. So, I have another question!

Um.

Is there no Internet?

Either you all like singing in public or the gods have an excellent sense of humor.

[If it isn't Jacob, looking ever so amused at all the things he had heard on the network. Really, some of you even have wonderful voices, he's impressed.]

But either way, all of what I've seen has made me curious. Music certainly has a giant influence on most of our lives...but what does it mean to you? Is it something you listen to casually, or has anything spoken to you? Some songs can do everything from making people burst out in tears or dwell on things they thought were over and gone with.

What role does it play in your life, residents of Asgard?

[Rather than a fancy, professional room, this NPC post comes from what appears to be the outdoor stage at Draupnir in Freyr district. The god himself is seated perched on the edge of the empty stage, completely open to the city. He's in good spirits too, and gives a bright smile as he addresses the network.]

That was quite a show you all put on yesterday! A much better way to generate emotion than some others, don't you think?

With that in mind, I'd like to greet all the newcomers to Asgard. I am Freyr, one of those who rules over the city. Though my House is smaller than most, I hope its members don't find it lacking.

And on a final note, I'd like to ask your opinions. How comfortable are you with physical affection?
