I did not sign up for this.

[obviously the first thing he says and greets everyone with is his desire to not be part of any of this charade, much less when he has other things in mind which take precedence.]

[or when his head aches so much. but that’s neither here nor there.]

[as a matter of fact, he is not here to make friends; he doesn’t want them. but he would very well like to get some information out of these group of people who have been here for a longer time than him. a very important thing was to show that he was, in no way, incapacitated. he could hold his liquor, thank you very much. he couldn’t quite manage very well afterwards, though.]

To a place with no soba.

[and thus his priorities are currently skewered. what, expecting much from the guy with a lousy hangover?]

The hell is wrong with this place, ah?

[back to your regular programming as soon as he's not suffering post-drunk]

[...It hasn't been that long since he last said something over the network but.

But this is important!

Senji is sitting there, arms crossed, looking absolutely.... annoyed. Why? There was a crow on his shoulder.]

.....Oi.

[The crow flew to his head. Pecking at his spiky hair.]

Oi.... how the fuck.... do you get rid of a damn bird that won't go away? This is seriously.... [CAW CAW goes the crow.]

This is seriously fucked up. Way too ironic if you ask me.... I'm... supposed to be Crow!

[CAW :V]

[Okay this is it, Rin has to say something and he has to say it now. Literally right now, and he's bored, so why the hell not right? Its not like he's got anything better to do. ] Oi, you guys know Ranka Lee?

I wanna make somethin' clear, if anybody messes with her, they'll regret it. So no funny business, got it?

I shouldn't hafta spell it out to anybody again.

If you can't deal with that, you'll have to answer to me.

[And a slight pause]

Oh, and I need a job. This place is so boring without one. If anybody needs help with anythin', let me know.

[When the recording shows, no one is actually in frame for a few moments. It seems like an ordinary room in one of the houses, although someone who's been Ichigo's room would recognize it. Then the view changes as it turns to look at Ichigo, his eyes closed, a broad smile on his face. Something seems...off about that smile, though.

Then he opens his eyes, and it suddenly makes sense.

His eyes are yellow now, bordered on a black sclera. The smile deepens into a grin, and he waves once.]

Nice ta finally talk to all of you after all this time.

[His voice is still undeniably Ichigo's, but it's...harsher, rougher. And Ichigo normally doesn't have that harsh cruel note when he speaks, one that almost seems to promise violence as he talks.]

I've been watching all of you, but that ain't the same-is it?

[He leans in, still bearing that unnerving grin and narrowing his eyes.]

I'm looking real forward to getting to know everyone. Maybe if ya got the balls to meet me, we can have some actual fun for once, huh?

[And from the glint in his eye, that sort of fun would most likely end with someone bleeding and cut up. He leans back, placing his hands behind his head, a smug look replacing the predatory grin.]

But I don't think any of you cowards could do that. Tch.

[Lowering his hands, he shrugs casually.]

Ah well. I ain't worried. I'm just going to enjoy being outside-and in control.

[A cackle rises, and the feed snaps off.]

((OOC: SO BASICALLY Ichigo's hollow is in control from now until the 13th! Why? Because curses, that's why. Someone needs to stop being mouthy about the gods. :| There will be a log up later during the week for people to physically interact with him, but for now he's just happy threatening/unsettling people over the bracelet. Which is also a warning because he is kind of brutal and aggressive and just kinda crazy. Letting you all know now!))

This is probably overdue but if you're listening to this, Sora and Riku, I should probably apologize that I was late shouldn't I? This goes for anyone of my friends back home! I'll promise to make it up during my time here.

In the meantime, I would like to ask, what do you like do What do you like to do during your spare time here? I arrived here a couple of days ago it's definitely a lot different from what I'm use to back home! I might need to start a new hobby!

[There was a bit of a pause before Kairi started smirking a bit]

...Maybe I should learn how to start kissing people here.

Hello Travelers,

In your opinion, what's the best type of illusion?

((ooc: WOOOOOH, ??? is officially LEVEL 3 for Telepathy! This is as close to a personal celebration post as it can get since he's a paranoid brat who doesn't like to talk about personal things. Unless he's tired.

Dorm internet's still crappy. Pardon the slow-ness.))

[Heeeeeeeeeeere's Stiles. Again. Except he seems a little...less exuberant than usual. He generally powers through whatever sleep-deprived napping his body wants to do in favor of research until forever but for some reason he's really out of it today. In a not hyper-with-the-attention-span-of-a-ferret-on-crystal-meth.]

Okay so uh, is there any place to, like, train? Or something?

I mean, I know we have these kickass powers and everything but I can barely make an iced coffee at this rate so can I ...work out my power muscles? God, that sounds stupid saying it.

It'd be cool if anyone in Odin with iceman status could give me a buzz. And junk.

[He scrubs a hand over the top of his head and blinks a lot more than should be normal - trying to pep himself up when he just feels exhausted. It's ridiculous.]

[ Not for the first nor the last time does the network show a newcomer. This one is all leather clothing and a white shirt; a cloak of red velvet covering his shoulders shall hint of royalty. His tone is determined and at the same time warm. He is puzzled but thankfully not panicked. ]

People of Asgard, I hope this finds you well. I have been told of the dangers posed to this realm and I mean to do all in my power to assist you. I have been called upon into this city as you once were and it is my honest wish to work alongside you so that together we may save this city.

[ however...He looks aside; distracted, or perhaps simply about to change the subject. ]

My own realm is also in great peril and I come to you today asking after a woman who might have come here before me. She is my wife, the queen of my realm and I must find her. Her name is Snow, Snow White. She would have asked after me – James.

[ a beat and his tone turns lighter - ]

Charming, if she was in a particularly good mood; though I suspect she was not.

Any information reagrding her whereabouts would be greatly appreciated.

To the goddess Sigyn who has chosen me for her house, I greet you. I shall do everything in my power to see your battle to an end and bring peace upon this realm for the sake of its people.

[ He will smile after that, incline his head and the feed shall close. ]

[When the recording starts, the Doctor is busy poking around and checking the functions of the bracelet, so maybe it was turned on by accident, maybe not. He’s talking, and it certainly isn’t to the network, so it might seem very accidental.

But who knows. Maybe even he doesn’t.

The surroundings behind him are moving and his footsteps can be heard, so he’s definitely pacing as he talks. Occasionally, Rory comes into view.]

--separated from the TARDIS. That’s fine, not new, it happens, we’re always reunited in the end, that’s fine.

[Not that he sounds like he really thinks it is.]

( Cut for tl;dr )

((OOC: The Doctor's first post with a Rory cameo... thing. Not really an intro, because he's all dived into this business ok he's got dis. Oh, and it's after his thread in the mingle log. The Doctor is just black, and poor Rory's one line outside brackets is blue.))

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.

[ Obon had already passed by the looks of the seasons, but that doesn't stop some people from celebrating it and doing something remotely related to the summer season. Normals always told their friends ghost stories around this time of the year, so some practice will do her good. It isn't often that this particular deep, spooky voice crops up on the network, but the time she chose was a particularly quiet one in the evening. Those who know her will be able to discern its owner - Yozora. This gloomy tone is the one she usually speaks with, but it sets the mood perfectly. ]

The end of summer, the start of fall. It is during these two seasons that the world pays its respects to the spirits of the afterlife. I wouldn't say that those of this ethereal plane are above us, figuratively speaking. Yet for many generations, haven't humans always been most afraid of what they don't know? Strange occurrences that cannot be explained, - it's almost laughable how these mysteries hold so much power over us.

[ She cackles, and she didn't even need to practice two hours to perfect it. There is nothing but silence that follows. ]

What if I told you they were true? Just because we cannot comprehend these happenings doesn't allow us to simply dismiss them. Although belief is waning, tradition remains strong. There must be a reason behind it all, don't you agree?

Well then, shall we revive that tradition tonight?

I heard this from a local in the Baldr district. It happened long before the disease spread, when the city still had its color...

( cut for asgardian horror story )

Who wants to go next?

(ooc: People are welcome to post their own stories as well, be it in video, text or voice. Others are free to reply to the stories with their character's reactions and comments. In other words, treat this post like a mingle log!)

[Today Beato addresses her fellow travelers much like she has on other occasions, seated primly in the drawing room of Loki House, a warm cup of black tea at her elbow. There's an entire tea set on the table, as well, and it looks like a fair few empty cups are sitting around the table]

In light of our recent scolding for not being quite social enough, it occurs to me that there must be quite a lot going on around here that I am missing out on. So with that in mind, I invite any who are interested to join me here in Loki House for a small tea party.

I would so dearly love to hear a fresh bit of gossip.

[Nakama's not looking quite so sickly the next time she appears on the network feed - she's been getting treatments from Dr. Watson that are at least resting her body, if not her mind. There's a figure behind her as well, hair slightly and unevenly shorn but still recognisable as Karuika Mirel. He's not exactly hiding, but it's clear that she's in charge of this post.]

Hello, everyone. Karu had an idea for another event we could do ourselves, just as travelers, and I wanted to run it past everybody and see what you thought.

If we find a good spot, we could light a controlled bonfire - sort of to represent the gift that light was to us recently - and people could write down any of their worries and concerns and throw them into the fire. I'm sure we've all got things still weighing on our mind, and it would be a way to purge yourself of them and move on.

[She glances behind her, murmuring under her breath.] Was that alright?

Perfect, Nakama. [His voice is warm and encouraging. He adjusts the red headband covering his usually obvious ears and turns to address the network himself:] Is this something transients -- ah, travelers -- would attend? I plan to string lights around the city. With any luck, they will become colored lights by the end of the night.

Think of it as rebirth.

So just let us know, okay? Thank you for listening.

((ooc: replies may come from one or both of them! If you're mean to Karu, you're guaranteed to get a Nakama, though.))

So!

[ Jade's lime green eyes are bright and a little too-close as she adjusts the bracelet on her table, fluffy white dog ears perked high. ]

I kind of got annoyed and smart-mouthed the gods asking why we don't get brochures or something explaining stuff when we get here, and... lo and behold, one of them actually delivered!

[ She leans forward, pushing through a link to Loki's response to her. ]

It actually answers a lot of questions I've had for a long time, and some questions I never even thought to ask. You should give it a look! I'm not sure if we should trust it implicitly, but something to go on is better than nothing, right?

[The fact that Odin is seated at a broad desk, hands folded in front of him, should clue in that this is a "formal" post. He doesn't come out much, so he expects everyone will pay attention. He addresses the camera with calm confidence, and speaks with little emotion.]

With the recent chaos, I'm sure you're all looking for some answers. This is what we have for you. Pay close attention, because I won't repeat it for the slow crowd.

If you hadn't already picked up on it, we are at war. Ragnarok is a prophecy made when this world, which we call Yggdrasil, was born. One day, the Giants and the Gods will fight, and the destruction will ruin the world. It will be frozen, and thawed to grow anew. This doesn't just affect us. All of your worlds are children of this one, and they'll all have to start over from nothing as well. No exceptions, no "buts" or "whys".

Some of you don't believe this. That's fine. You're still here, so you can just be concerned with your immediate safety. We've managed to source that last disaster to Muspellheim and the Fire Giants. If you don't want it to keep happening until you're all dead, you'll step up and prepare for a real battle. Thanks to your efforts, you have a whole city of reasonable people to make an army to back you, and we actually have a chance of not being destroyed.

Now, you're probably also confused about the recent arrivals. They are an army from Alfheim, and they've come to declare their allegiance for the coming war. They'll be helping us rebuild what was destroyed in the city, so you'd do well not to hinder them or harass them.

You can have whatever opinions about us that you want. You can disbelieve and whine all you want. But at the end of the day, it's your asses you're saving, so it'd be wiser to quit bitching about being uncomfortable and start working together to make sure you're not dead. Make sure you have a home to go back to when it's over.

I'm not going to stick around and argue with the lot of you, either. Maybe some of my colleagues enjoy chatting ethics with you, but I don't. So consider this all you're getting unless they're kind enough to step in. You know what you need to know. It's do or die. That's it.

[ Since the Darkness event happened Scott has been thinking a lot about bringing those close to him together, having them all in one place instead of scattered throughout the city.

So now he's appearing on video with the most uneven jawline you've ever seen, wanting answers. ]

These places we're given to live in... can we move out of them and live somewhere else? Not that there's anything wrong with them... [ But he'll sleep better at night knowing those important to him are nearby instead of halfway across the city. ]

( locked to Stiles and Allison )

Sorry if Derek has offended anyone by the way... You might know him as the guy with the really grumpy face? Don't take it personally, he's like that with everyone.

[ ...Oops, he forgot to lock that part from Derek. ]

[It's been a while, Asgard, since you saw your favorite clockwork angel. And this time, Cheriour surprisingly looks very annoyed.]

Really. Really? I mean, okay, what happened with the darkness coming to the city was very bad! And I don't even want to talk about what happened to me during that time. But this...what I've just discovered right now, this is the final straw!! People should never do this, it-it's despicable!

[And what is he so angry about, exactly? The camera turns slightly towards his other hand, which is holding something large and brown. Why, it's... a broken wooden cuckoo clock. Wow. Someone's a little touchy about timepieces being broken.]

I mean, you could totally fix this! Why throw it out? I mean, it tells time for you and all it needs is a little time and care to do that for you, that's all. But no, you treat it like trash. Garbage. Totally useless. But it isn't!

I'm really disappointed in the person who did this! Next time, if you want to throw a clock out, you come to me. Understand?

[A determined frown. He means business, okay.]

I will never let this happen again on my watch.

[This has been a PSA by the guy who has clocks for eyes. You may continue on with your regular lives, Asgardians.]

[It's video when the feed starts up. There's a shock of white hair and bright red eyes peering out from behind a certificate-like piece of paper that she's holding up to the bracelet's camera. Along the bottom it's been signed twice: once in the Asgardian script everybody learns upon arrival, and another time in a language that will be pretty, but a lot less familiar. Both look surprisingly elegant - who knew Euri had good penmanship??]

Here it is, a stupid formality. [Then she quickly switches back over to audio.]

Back home we'd just follow a logical moral code - I dedicate myself to the appropriate acquisition and usage of materials blah blah blah let my ancestors and the god whose domain I utilize rot out my insides and return me to the lands from which we were born should I disgrace them - instead of having to go through useless tests and paperwork to get access to magical plants. I guess this is better than nothing, though.

[After all that her voice turns very, very dry.] It means after this sleeping recipe is finished I can start working on turning you all into frogs like a proper Witch. [That's for you Senji!!]

[Filtered to Draco]
Want to start working on some real magic?

Greetings everyone!

My name is Shino Amakusa. It's come to my attention that some people around here don't attend school. As the president of a Student Council, I can't let that stand. Unfortunately, I can't run a school on my own and neither can anyone else my age.

So, in it's place, I'll be remaking a new Student Council! It'll be the Asgard Student Council, of course. With myself and Aria, we have two members. A proper club should have at least five but we can take on a lot more.

As a Student Council, our creed will be to get everyone interested in taking part in the activities this place has to offer! Not only that but we'll help out others with their problems and jobs. Because it's a club that helps out others, I don't expect a lot of volunteers but I'll be pleased with everyone who wishes to join.

All that I ask is you fill out a small survey and post it here and I can accept you as a full member.


For females...
<b>Name:</b> <b>Age:</b> <b>Height:</b> <b>How many languages can you speak and what are they?:</b> <b>Favorite activity:</b> <b>How would you contribute to the Student Council?:</b> <b>If you could make one rule for everyone to follow, what would it be?:</b>


For males... [Warning: this one is a bit work inappropriate]
<b>Name:</b> <b>Age:</b> <b>Height:</b> <b>S or M:</b> <b>Your favorite position in bed:</b> <b>Do you plan on having a harem?:</b> <b>How extensive is your collection of porn?:</b> <b>What is your ideal body type?:</b>

Thanks for your time and triple thanks to anyone who volunteers.
