[The image is very staged, as if the teenager had rehearsed and settled himself carefully. He's sitting down, with a notebook on his lap, and he smiles at the screen with his best friendly look. He's dressed very neatly, a sweater vest with a tie visible in the picture. A very plain metal bracelet hangs on his wrist, opposite the one with the communicator bracelet on it.]

Excuse me. This is a little awkward, but I'm afraid I'm in a bit of a strange situation.

[He holds his pen above his notebook, as if he might be about to doodle to help himself think.]

I've heard that I've been here before? I don't remember, so I want to talk to anyone who has had a similar situation, or those who might have known me before. For those of you who don't, my name is Gau, I live at Sigyn House, and I would love to hear anything useful you can tell me about people coming and going this way here.

[He clears his throat, unsure how to end the video, and finally settles for a small bow toward the screen, which if anything looks awkward.]

Hi!

[Lyra is sitting in her room, judging by the neat bed just barely visible in the corner of the shot. Once she speaks, she straightens a bit more, conscious of now being recorded. Those who know Lyra may notice her more serious demeanor; she's smiling, she's cheerful, but her usual exuberance is reined in.]

I'm Lyra. I'm a Pokémon trainer, I live in Sigyn district, and the gods chose me to be in charge of making sure the it's protected. And I'll definitely do my best! But I can't do it all by myself--we're going to need a lot of people to help out to keep it all safe, especially since we've got the hospital in our district and that'll be really important, I think.

[Lyra shifts a little in her chair; she's never been one for sitting still for too long. Still, she continues.]

I'll take anyone who wants to help, even if you don't live in the district--as long as you can get here to watch over it, that's fine with me! Once we get some people together, we could all meet up and get to know each other so we can work together and sort out how we're going to do everything. If you don't want to use the bracelets to talk to me, I'll be outside of Sigyn house today. I hope I get to talk to a lot of you!

Oh--and the healers and people who work at the hospital, even if you guys don't want to work right in the watch, I'd like to talk to you guys to work something out with you to keep you all protected. If things get--really serious, you guys will be really important. Thank you!



[Lyra can also be found outside of Sigyn house as promised, if you would like to approach her in person. Aside from being recognizable from the video, she is also accompanied by her Lugia, which will certainly help her stand out in a crowd.]

[Well. If this was some other kind of test from the gods, then Castle had passed with flying colors. He'd seen many things in Asgard, but he wasn't counting on finding a camel outside the House in Loki. The poor thing looked sorely out of place as it munched on the vines that had encompassed the city over the past few days. This was the clean up crew, perhaps? Castle wondered who was going to clean up after the clean up crew.

The camel made a gurgling noise when it saw Castle and he paused, staring it at for a moment. It had spit coming out of its mouth and was panting. Suddenly it dawned on Castle that the camel had nothing to drink. Wait, wasn't that what the hump was for? Regardless, he was feeling magnanimous and went back into the House to fill a bucket with water. He returned to the camel and placed the water in front of it, which it instantly started to lap up. A few moments later, Castle noticed a goblet sitting on the ground next to the camel. Curiously, he picked it up and sniffed the contents.

Castle later appeared on the feed with a smirk on his face, one hand on the camel's neck and the other holding a goblet of whiskey that kept refilling itself. The camel seemed to have taken to him after Castle had given it water and kept nudging his cheek with its nose. Castle lifted his goblet to toast the people of Asgard.]

Camel rides, anyone?
