[ The feed opens up to a shot of one rather lanky goth dressed in black who is currently sitting inside of a room that's a cross between a rather nice office and a comfy living room. While a certain dynamic duo are fighting just outside of view about paint colors, he seems perfectly at ease to ignore them, even if he kinda sorta has broken into the place they are painting a sign on. ]

I know that the gods have said before that our influences on this place would often bring some our dangers with us, that we should not see this as our fault. However, I would like to issue an apology of sorts for the demons drawn here by my... family. We have always been magnets for such creatures; even in our home world they always found a way to bring Hell to us.

[ V stretches slightly, his lips curving into a small ironic smile even as the fight between blue and red paint sounds like it's getting pretty heated. Of course, that's before the fight is disturbed by a roar and something banging around. V ignores this as well. ]

As much as we wished otherwise, it has also come to our attention that our... particular brand of services are still needed. Even if there are not always demons for us to fight we can always lend our strength to other such battles, or help in training others. So. We are opening the family business to help both our growing community and to prevent any... disasters like the ones witnessed earlier that our existence has caused.

[ And through the open doorway comes a large black panther, streaks of red and blue paint coating the large cat and dripping onto the floor as he trots over and shoves a battered and half full can of paint into V's chest. There's a choked off Shadow! as the feed goes red as the can spills over, which renders the rest of this voice only. ]

Suffice to say, Devil May Cry has come to Asgard. Once the sign is finished, of course.

It’s called a Qliphoth.

[A beat, and that’s a familiar sound of Nero gritting his teeth in annoyance.] The tree that Odin mentioned? Yeah, it’s a Qliphoth, and it’s bad news.

That… is an understatement. [ In contrast, V sounds somewhat bored, as if this is just very old news to him. ] The Qliphoth is a tree that grows in the Underworld. It thrives on human blood, and those within its path become no more than dust once it’s done with them.

[Nero sighs.] Back home, it basically destroyed an entire city in about a month- and demons were running all over when we came back to finish the job. So we can’t let it sit here, otherwise we’re gonna have even more problems than what we’ve had in the past. [Is that the sound of him grabbing a blade? Or setting the chamber of a gun? Porque no los dos! He’s getting ready, obviously. There’s humor in his tone though.]

And besides, Hell’s not that great a look for Asgard anyway.

Yet another understatement. You're remarkably reserved, Nero. All things considered. [ This may not be a voice very many recognize. Vergil doesn't care for humans and their nonsense — and that mostly includes the nonsense here. But, well. He lives here, so he has to care.

Unfortunate. ] The Qliphoth is a tree that grows in the Underworld, and as such will be infested with demons and their ilk. It must be destroyed. Allowing it to grow will result in an even greater infestation of creatures that want nothing more than wanton destruction and see humans as little more than food. I doubt this is something the rest of you will want.

While they are not a particularly bright species, some demons can be cunning. There may be.. challenges, in destroying the tree. [ There's a sigh from him. He's made this mistake once before. Surely this one isn't his fault, right? ] It should go without saying, but do not let them, or the tree roots, touch you. Human blood strengthens demons and will make them difficult to kill. You should kill them without remorse, since they will show you none.

There will be traps designed to harass and confuse the unwary. Demons that are more at home in the filth inside the Qliphoth will use this to their advantage as well. [ There’s a sound of a book flipping open and pages being turned. ] To get rid of the Qliphoth, there are nine seals that need to be found and removed. It’s… easy enough to take care of the seals themselves; it is the guardians of the seals that you may need to be wary of. Fortunately, demons may be deadly, but they are not invulnerable to normal steel. Otherwise demon hunting would not be as lucrative as it is… to some people. [ Is that a jab at Dante? Well, V would know just how much it cost to hire the demon hunter as well as how much of a mess his place looked during his brief time there. ]

Yeah, yeah. No time for details, the sooner we get out there to kick this thing’s ass, the sooner we’ll be out of trouble. [A beat as Nero quips back.] Besides, I don’t think anyone wants to hear the gruesome details of how gross this thing can be. [Because it is gross, there’s no denying that.]

Hey, Dante, you got any words of wisdom? [It’s a joke, and you can hear Dante speak up, though he sounds a bit further away from everyone else.]

Yeah, easiest advice is don’t get yourself killed! [This is followed by the slamming of a door, and one doesn’t have to see anything to know Nero’s balking at the fact that Dante’s just up and left already.]

Wh- hey! Where the hell are you- [SIGHS LOUDLY, THIS FUCKING FAMILY.] Jackass.

[ A slight snort of amusement at that. He agrees, just don't expect him to say it out loud. ] And there you have it. Words of wisdom from the legendary demon hunter himself. So. Stay on your toes, hit them hard and don't get killed. If need be we will attempt to assist you if we can, but otherwise don't get in our way. [ Is that steel in his voice? Well yes, it's personal after all. ]

[And sauntering past, hips a-swaying and with a toss of her hair, goes Trish, already armed and ready and in hot pursuit.]

And don’t forget to watch out for tentacles… they can be kind of handsy. Right, Vergil?

[ There's no response there, just a sigh, more footsteps, and the door closing again, though not as violently. Nero's family sucks. ]

[[Blue = Nero, green = V, light blue = Vergil, red = Dante, pink = Trish ;)]]

[As the video starts a wily looking redhead can be seen propped up against the headboard of one of the palaces overly ornate beds, one arm tucked behind his head. His other arm is otherwise occupied with maintaining visual quality. Aside from some empty bottles on his bedside table the room he's in appears to have seen very little use like he's attempting not to leave an indelible trace of his being here.]

It took me a minute and a dislocated finger or two to believe this [nods in the general direction of the bracelet] ain't coming off.

[He might have been told that he couldn't remove it, but he had to follow his own urges anyway.] Fits me like a second skin.

[Tilting his head a bit he surveys an area just beyond the video as though he's taking in the room and his surroundings. Like he hasn't seen it before, but he has, of course.] Nice, right? Languishing in all of this luxurious despair. I feel so fancy...but you're not here to listen to me snap gum and crack wise, right? I'll get to the point.

[He adjusts himself, sitting up a little straighter so the can use his other arm for gesturing, continuing in his casual, unhurried way.]

I'm looking for some someones [he holds up a single finger] a tall guy, bald, and not nearly as handsome as yours truly, but he does rock a nice pair of shades...I'll give him that [holding up a second finger he moves down his list of people]...a talkative, blonde-haired chippy, more spunk than sense most days...but her heart is in the right place...I guess...[holding up a third finger he moves on...are these supposed to be friends? Who knows.]...and a guy with long, dark hair, serious expression...you know...the it's-been-a-decade-since-I-last-had-a-shit kind of expression.

[he looked at the three fingers as though he might be contemplating an additional finger, and an additional person.

Nope. He's good.]

They'll refer to themselves as the Turks...if that sounds familiar then we might need to have a chat.

[He moves as if to end the feed before halting himself and adding finally.]

I'm Reno...of the Turks. [That last bit is important.]

[ When the video feed clicks on, Odin appears unenthused, which is saying quite a lot when he typically doesn't look like anything at all. The message is sent to all bracelets after the storm hits, which means the message comes loud and clear to any inside the castle and hazy or disjointed to anyone outside of it. ]

Greetings, Wanderers both new and old. We have spent the duration of your stay seeking answers to what brought you here and what must be done to return you to your worlds intact. While we've made little progress in those specific regards - [ which he again seems rather openly disgruntled about ] - we have made strides in other areas of discovery that may be of interest to you.

( words and plot and stuff for you )

[ Hello Asgard, for this fine day the video starts by focusing on this before swinging around for this view. There's a soft sigh and then the camera focuses on V in all his tattooed glory complete with a slight smile and a touch of flour smeared on his cheek. Oops he missed a spot. ]

Hello, do forgive my manners but I am... unsure how else to announce this. I've newly arrived though I have spoken to a few of you before the... business with the White Walkers. And while the whole affair left us with few answers I am loathed to dwell on such at this time. Instead... I'm announcing the opening of a new venture of mine, at first started for a close... friend of mine, but now open to share with all

[ Sorry Vergil he just looks only slightly apologetic over this next bit. ] Gilver's features pizza as well as other Italian foods, though I do believe the Natives will accommodate other cuisine if given time and direction. It's located in Njord's district and will be open for all starting today.

[ He nods and hesitates for a few seconds before adding. ] Stop by when you can, Dante. Same for the rest of you.

So many of you are so calm about the dead walking about and everywhere. Is it really so common in so many other worlds that it's no different than some cloudy weather for you all?

[Not even... a little bit scared, as far she can tell.] There's stories of the dead walking among the living, or even the undead, but they're stories.

Though... I suppose that must be why there are bells on so many tombstones back home. [She hadn't thought that's what they were for.]

Greetings, Wanderers to Asgard.

[ It's his first address to the network, and Odin looks… the same as ever, to those that are familiar with him. Neutral, deadpanned, here for business. ]

We've received news of trouble beyond Asgard's boundaries. Those of you from Westeros may be familiar with this threat. It seems an army of undead marches upon us.

[ His expression doesn't change, but there's a Pause, an unspoken 'isn't that just terrific.' But he digresses. ]

Asgard was built for the sole purpose of granting the human race a place to exist and thrive within Yggdrasil, away from any danger that may threaten their fragile presence. This is what we are here for, and we will serve our purpose. Asgard will ride out to meet this threat before it nears our kingdom, to save those that we can and put an end to what we can't.

Whether or not the Wanderers join us for this battle is your decision to make jointly. You've been here for some time now under the relative protection of secrecy, as your presence has gone largely unnoticed by the other beings of Yggdrasil.

[ Another pause, because it's important for them to understand this part. ]

Leaving the kingdom will break that secrecy. There are few in this realm whose attention you might want upon you. Remaining hidden may be prudent, especially with new arrivals among you. Make of this what you will, and decide amongst yourselves. You should be safe here within the city. Once we leave Asgard's bounds, nothing is guaranteed.

If you have questions, ask. Otherwise, we ride in a few days' time.

[ OOC NOTES: this is the NPC post to kick off our event for October! The White Walkers from Game of Thrones are terrorizing the countryside on a path of destruction aimed for Asgard. This post is to ICly discuss whether or not the Wanderers should help in this battle, but it is OOCly presumed that they will. Please feel free to threadjack amongst each other and discuss this between your characters! We will have a top level for threads with the NPCs, but let us know if you'd like to request a specific one in your thread. We currently have: Odin, Skadi, Heimdall, Sigyn, and Honir available for interactions.

We also still have some special volunteer positions open for people interested in tossing their characters at some specific brands of Awful, which you can find out about on the event post. Let us know if you have any questions, and enjoy! ]
