<sub>[And today in the life of Cocona--

Back when those frost fairies were attacking, you might have seen her doing her share of helping out, and maybe also rescuing people in a pinch. It's... pretty much become a part of her life, it seems, to end up in these situations.

Oh well, at least ice fairies were easier to deal with than some of the things she fought back in Sol Cluster! Despite probably not looking like it, Cocona's a tough girl.

Anyway, today, Cocona can be seen inspecting her V-Board (that weapon of hers that looks more like a surfboard/snowboard cross to those who haven't seen it in action) for damage.]</sub>

That's a pretty boo way to welcome people, being under attack from ice fairies! I haven't even been here a week, and already there's trouble. Geez... _{[And she'll sigh, because oh well, it can't be helped!]}

At least that's over with, though. I don't know how much longer I would have been able to put up with that.

[lalalala poking at his bracelet--oh it's on. ahem.]

Hello. I'm a new member of Heimdall, apparently. Nice to meet you all.

[he waves at the screen in a lazy sort of manner, before proceeding to turn it off again--wait no he's got a question.]

Hey, do the names of the houses mean anything? They sound kind of foreign.

[Yuri is seated at a desk, in his manager's office above the tea room. Close observation will reveal that he looks rather weary. He hasn't been sleeping very well, or taking much time to rest.]

To you newcomers, welcome. My name is Yuri Petrov. As some of you already know, I'm interested in working with others to organize a simple, practical justice system, primarily focused on crime deterrence and public safety. Please contact me if you're interested in being involved in the process. I don't mean to take charge of this effort, merely to assist in organizing it.

[He wants to be involved in public affairs, but he'd prefer not to be the leading figure. Some respect and attention are desirable, but a more background role suits him, and his purposes, better.

He's interrupted in his speech by a small, gray cat jumping up onto his desk and his papers. He smiles at the animal. The cat is still somewhat shadowy, but it is beginning to take on a more definite form in Yuri's presence. His office, too, is beginning to take on color. Perhaps there are some benefits to feeling powerful, if hidden, emotions at all times.]

There's no need for you to be up here, Skazka.

[Yet he doesn't shoo her away, as she rubs the side of her face against his hand. He continues to address the network.]

I'd also like to invite those of you who enjoy tea or baked goods other than cupcakes to visit the Hrafn Tea Room in Odin. [He had declined to take part in the cupcake contest.] It's near the library, and can be easily recognized by the raven on its sign. I'm the manager. If you'd like to speak to me, you need only ask the staff.

We're hiring, if anyone is interested.

[ Now that the cupcake event is over, Klaus has decided to take a shot at cooking. As the video starts, he can be seen peeling and cutting potatoes in order to fry them. Though it's not visible due to the camera angle, people at Heimdall will probably notice that he's also making coffee due to the strong smell coming from it.  ]

I was informed that many of us have some kind of military experience. I would like to hear more about that.

[ He makes a pause in order to drop the potatoes he has already cut into the oil. ]

Also, I believe there was some sort of... justice system in the works? Has there been any progress?
