[ The video starts begins with the frowning face of a teenage girl with perked dog ears atop her head. ]
Okay, first of all! Everyone who is new, hi! My name is Jade, and welcome to Asgard, and make sure to let someone know if you need something! I can be helpful - I've been here practically forever now.
Secondly, I am going to need everyone to stop dying, thank you very much.
Thirdly - and this one kind of goes back to the second point, here - if you don't know how to use a weapon, you need to learn how to use a weapon. [ The frown on her face grows a little more severe. ] We are at war, and we can't always rely on our powers! Because some of them kind of suck - no offense, Harry - and when we're attacked, they're not gonna care if you're able to make a giant fireball or if you can just float half a foot off the ground.
[ Her expression is very decidedly stubborn. ]
I can teach you how to shoot a gun. I want to teach you how to shoot a gun! If you can't fight? Please let me teach you how to shoot a gun so you don't die, okay? Between here and home I've died like four times [ five, she's just unaware of that last one right now ] and I am getting sort of sick of it. Let me help!
Or at least let someone.
[ Jade leans forward, as if to end the video, before she wrinkles her nose and adds - ]
Also there's no pie at the Highwind today because my baker is being a butthead. Sorry Stiles. Take it up with Ryan!

[ It's said cheerfully. ]
I know how dangerous guns are. I orphaned myself when I was a toddler, and also I sort of accidentally murdered one of my best friends? But I still think more people need to know how to use them here.

I mean, do you even hear yourself? Guns are made for the lowest common denominator to kill as easily as possible. And you wanna fill the city with them. When there's a real bitch out there who can make everyone go crazy and turn on one another just for shits and giggles.
I honestly never thought I'd say this, but tactics might be a little more important than brute force right now. I want this over as much as anyone, but what you're talking about is a shitstorm waiting to happen, and you wanna drop it right on our doorstep. No curses necessary.

I went crazy. If James had had a gun and could have shot me between the eyes before I killed him with my stupid plants, that would've been a much better week for everyone all around. How is he supposed to fight?

[He's honestly got no idea, but so many people here have lost stronger abilities than Asgard has to offer that he always has to wonder. And yes, it always comes back to this.]

Powers we had at home don't matter. The powers we have here don't matter. It's what skills we can learn and use.
