How can I know for certain that someone isn't here?

[ The voice on the other end sounds tired and distant, like it belongs to someone who hasn't slept properly in some time. That is most certainly the case, but he isn't planning on relaying the details to just anyone. He keeps his message short and to the point. He can't tell if he's too frightened or too irritable to do more than that. ]

I'm not interested in nonsensical replies. If you have an answer, tell it to me. If not, ignore this message.

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! ]

Oh ah, hello and how do you do? My name is Alice Liddell, it's nice to meet you, if we haven't before!

His majesty, King Turgon, and I were hoping to begin a chess club! And I would like to invite anyone who enjoys playing or would like to learn to play to join us! We're... still figuring out the where and the when but I suppose we're trying to see how many people would like to join us!

And oh ah, all of the gods who might wish to play are welcome to join us too! It's not just for us... the ones who arrived here, that is.

Everyone is invited to join, there will be proper tea and biscuits at our first meeting... whenever and wherever that may be.

While... there is a good deal about fighting and the sorts, the mind has to be just as sharp as the body, and they say chess is perfect for that!

[ It’s the first time Steve is addressing the network as a whole, but it’s not his first foray into video chatting so he’s fairly comfortable being on screen. Public speaking happens to be something he’s good at- at least when he’s in “captain mode”. Today he’s somewhere in between. ]

Good afternoon, Asgard. Some of you might know me, some of you don’t. I’m Steve Rogers, or Captain America, for those who know what that title means.

I’ve been speaking with some people, and after that dragon attack a few months ago it’s obvious that not all of us have experience with fighting, or not all areas of fighting that could come up. I’ve been working with Heimdall to expand on a training area where people can learn combat or self defense if they want to.

There will be areas for weapons training, and mounted combat, hand to hand. Anything really that we could think of.

What I don’t have are people with the experience and know how to instruct. So what I’m asking for are volunteers to teach, and for students who want to learn.

I’m skilled in a variety of hand to hand combat techniques but I’m sure there are styles I don’t know. On a personal note I’m looking to learn sword fighting and mounted combat.

Let me know if there’s anything you want covered and we will work on getting it done. Any classes that I haven’t mentioned that you want to see or teach. You can get in touch with me here or in the training grounds when they open up in a few days.

[ He gives a small nods at the camera indicating he’s done rambling on. ]

[ OOC: a mingle log will be going up sometimes this week from the mods with a new training area. You can approach Steve there or respond to him here. Or both! Both works to :) ]

[ It takes some tinkering and awkwardness at first, along with a series of huffs and grumbles you thankfully miss... but when the feed does appear, enjoy a perplexed Daenerys looking at the screen (as well as a reflection of herself, Jon, and Robb). They are wearing modern clothes: button-down shirts for the men, a blazer for Robb, and a royal blue halter-like dress for Dany. ]

Well met, Wanderers. [ … she is speaking to you all, she hopes. ] My name is Daenerys Targaryen. This is Jon Snow and Robb Stark.

[ The feed will jerk as she attempts to angle the screen to both men, respectively. It's not at all elegant, and is, in fact, an eyesore to watch. Which is why seconds later she gives up on it and leaves the strange screen in place in front of her. (Robb gets up as if to try and help her, but his attempts are just as bad as hers. Eventually, he gives it up as a bad job too. Jon, who had inclined his head when Daenerys attempted to introduce him, merely watches now with a skeptical expression: it's going to take a while for them all to get the hang of this.) ]

In our world, war is commonplace. We have armies and generals, as well as a means to communicate when there is an attack on a city or castle. Here, that doesn't seem to be the case. [ Which is strange to her. For all her wariness of these self-proclaimed gods, the smallfolk of Asgard appear to be happy. ] It's why we've approached the gods about a means of gathering. The chaos which followed the dragon's appearance makes us believe that a type of war council is necessary for this realm.

[As Jon begins to speak, he seems a little bit uneasy, slightly awkward, but as his words spin out and gather momentum, he becomes visibly more comfortable with the idea of addressing everyone. It doesn't come as naturally to him as it seems to come to Daenerys.]

When the people of a realm don't work together to face a threat, the end is calamity -- death and hunger and suffering, for those who fought and for those who could not fight. When we know what our strengths are, we know how best to defend against what may come. And when we know what to do, we can be ready to do it, even when we face something that seems impossible to overcome. This is our realm now, all of us. Today, we can put our strengths together. We can begin to make those plans. Maybe we won't ever need them, it's true, but if we do, we won't be caught unawares again.

I know that you may not know us. Each of us has been a king or a queen; not one of us was born with that title. None of us means to try to rule anyone else here, none of us expects to be the loudest voice on any council, but we all have experience with planning for war, and with several kinds of threat.

Daenerys rides a dragon at home, and has taken cities in the East and freed thousands upon thousands of slaves there. I have been Lord Commander of the Night's Watch and King in the North: I've spent long years scouting and defending and preparing for great attacks on my homeland, fighting Wildlings first, and then making an alliance with them to fight the Army of the Dead. My brother Robb was King in the North before me; he was a successful general several times over in campaigns in the southron lands. He knows tactics, battle strategy, better than almost anyone you'll ever meet.

We have all fought for the lives and safety and freedom of our fellow men. We want to continue to do that here and now. We want you to join us, if you will.

[ Jon looks over at Robb, and Robb picks the thread up: ] Understand, we are not asking to go to war. This council is only meant to make certain that we are not caught so off our guard as we were when the dragon attacked. In order to do that, we’re going to organize the council into different groups: preparations, battle and response. We Wanderers come from different worlds, and in times of crisis our different strengths come out. We need to combine our strengths and work together if we are to effectively respond to whatever threats may come next.

( OOC #1: if you want to address a specific cast member, please indicate that in the subject of your comment--otherwise we’ll read it as fair game for any of us to attack C:

OOC #2: We made a spiffy ooc post detailing the war council, as well as sign ups for it. Check it out HERE. )
