Uhhh hey! So... [lol the feed has just started and seth is already feeling embarrassed. he's standing in the kitchen at heimdall, kind of... looking forlornly at all the equipment and stuff that he has no idea how to use.] So, it kinda came to my attention not-so-recently that I suck at cooking.

[pause. sigh.]

Like really suck. Like my big sis banned me from the kitchen at our house. But—since obviously it's not like my mom and Leah are here to cook for me, I figure I should probably learn for myself.

[this is such a cry for help. well, thankfully seth is really pro at the puppy dog eyes thing, considering he's basically a giant puppy himself.]

So... does anybody wanna take pity on a guy and teach me how to make stuff that's hard to mess up? I don't need to be like, Cordon Bleu, I just don't want to make anything explode.

[anymore.

and with that he closes the feed.]

[The feed starts on what might not be an entirely expected place: the library in the Odin District. Here, a young man is sitting back on a table, a sizable stack of books beside him and a wide grin on his face. He's not paying much attention to the bracelet in front of him though, but at the shelves of books around him.]

Whoa! This is incredible! It's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen...

How did you all get all of these books in one place? It's got to have taken a long time. Does even Valua have these many?

But you guys do! And you're just letting us look at them whenever we want...

[Clearly awed, he finally looks away from the shelves and to the bracelet.]

I guess books can't be that hard to find here. I don't have that many of them back home, but you sure have a lot of them.

[This is clearly an important point to repeat. And now he points to the stack he'd set beside him, grin growing even wider.]

You guys even have all these books on sailing! I don't know how long it's gonna take me to finish all of these.

This place is amazing!

[Wait, what, there's a war and worlds to save? Nevermind that, there are books on sailing to be read!!]

...Hey, anyone know if there are any maps here?

Hello? Hmm. So this really does work. It's not completely useless after all. I suppose it pays for its usefulness in gaudiness, though.

[Bianca regards the screen carefully. She's never actually seen anything like this, but coming from a world where magic exists...she's not entirely surprised. She plays around with it, having the screen stay in place as she walks away from it and back closer.]

I suppose that's gonna do. I should introduce myself, but that can wait. First, why are these streets so filthy? The air smells foul, too. Is no one cleaning this place? I can imagine there being a large number of people here, but that's no excuse for a smelly city. That maid has already filled me in somewhat, but she's nowhere near as efficient as Miss Tabitha.

[She stares at the screen some more. If she's scared, it's not showing. She has frail arms folded across her chest, and her gaze is unflinching now that she's figuring things out for herself.]

My name is Bianca de Sainte-Coquille. If anyone has more information they'd like to share about this place, please do so now. I'll be walking to Hel shortly.

[All-in-all, she's surprisingly calm. Kidnapped by the gods? No, perhaps, chosen by the gods. She's not about to fight that, not yet. She can think about it later. For now, the most important things are information, how this place can improve, and thirdly? Herself.]
