[ good morning, asgard. you are greeted to a singular video, which shows a rather chaotic room in the odin housing unit. it has a desk shoved in the corner, covered in a bunch of spare parts of some cannibalized technology strewn all over the place. but in another corner of the room appears to be something that looks a bit like cooler with a solar panel on it.

tethered to it is a little roomba that has a blinking light, and seems to be attempting to vacuum the place, but is continually yanked backwards by the confines of its charge cord.

and then, once the video shows what it seems to show, a text is also sent out to the entire network, simply stating: ]


READ THIS BEFORE YOU ASK ME SOMETHING INCREDIBLY STUPID:

(1) It's a solar powered generator. It generates something called electricity, which can power things we call machines. It can hold a pretty hefty charge, but it isn't very powerful. I can maybe reboot a battery, and that's about it, until I expand my operation.

(2) No, you cannot have one.

(3) No, I am not building you one.

(4) I'll let you charge your cell phones if, and only if, you bring me any useful garbage you collected when it fell from the sky a few weeks ago.

(5) I don't do delivery.

(6) Don't show up at my door asking to use it. There's a sign-up sheet in the front hall of the library. Go put your name on it and sign up for a time slot.

(7) Seriously, if you show up at my door without an invite, I am revoking your cell phone privileges, and I will use your outdated trash heap you call a smart phone for parts.

(8) You're welcome.


[ what a charmer. ]

» WHO: All
» WHEN: The morning following Tyr and Laufey's announcement on 7/17
» TYPE: Live broadcast


[ 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. )

[ Oh look, it's the library! More specifically, a table in the library where there's several works in progress and, curiously, dragon's teeth. The teeth look cleaned of meat and gore though they were curiously dirty as if buried in dirt. ]

I admit that I had missed a social network but I'm not sure if I find this a suitable replacement. I mean, there is little entertainment on this thing. No webdramas, no webnovels, and just a few complaints and a meme? [ He clicks his tongue against his teeth as if saying 'you poor babies'. ] Honestly, I thought you people would have embraced this tech far better than this.

Anyways, I have a couple announcements. One, in light of the lack of any literature in this place, I'm endeavoring in writing out a couple stories I remembered from home. Another is show the progress on the teeth I got. I've managed to clean away the flesh and now will start on bleaching and prepping for the final product. I'm hoping for a sword, but we'll see how they will turn out.

[ Then the feed clicks off. Because Ye Zun is that kind of brat. ]

I'm pretty excited that we finally have this way to reach out to others. I missed having some form of technology. Although, I still don't fully understand how this operates. I miss using my own datapad.

But the real point to the post is, how do you adjust from not being in the military to being a regular citizen? Or in this case a wanderer? What do you do? Living at the Heimdall house helps as it brings a sense of formality.

Yet, I have to admit I feel pretty lost with out having some sense of purpose. I've been part of the military since I was 17. Prior to that I was helping with my parent's trade buisness. There seems to be more freedom and flexibility here that I'm not accustomed to. I'm not used to having all this free time.

[It took her about an hour of frustrated attempts at coding and monkeying with her thing before she was growling and hissing like an angry, wet cat. Terezi was so annoyed. They'd taken her color away! Her glorious, beautiful teal color, and she wanted it back! And, unlike a sensible person who just called text support, she was going to vent like an angry child on the web for all to see.

Well, in a way she was an angry child, no matter how weird troll maturity was.]

[Yep, so that totally just got splattered on the network.]

(OOC: Please let me know if you actually want her to continue using that garbage speak. She'll be getting her teal colored text back shortly. If you don't want it, I'll just use regular speak so it's legible and not eye-bleed inducing.)

[ When the video feed turns on, both Tyr and a new face can be seen looking down into the camera. The woman sits back with a sly smile of sorts and levels Tyr with a sidelong glance. ]

Not bad for our first time, darling. Go on, then. Tell them what miracles you've brought for them today.

Not bad, is that truly the reputation you wish for me to have? Not bad, when I spent all morning worshipping you for all you did for us?

[He’s cute, isn’t he? He’s definitely cute, the way he says all that and then has the audacity to wink at her, like that’s what endears him to her. With a little grin, he turns towards the camera, focusing down. This is a post for the Wanderers, but it takes a lot to refocus Tyr from her.]

Given you all have a bit of a tendency to wander-- [DO YOU GET IT BECAUSE YOU’RE WANDERERS ha ha he make joke] --we thought we’d help you all keep in touch. Now, this is new, so don’t go breaking it your first day, hm? I’m going to be quite annoyed if our hard work is ruined from the start.

[ She rolls her eyes, entirely unimpressed by his antics and yet still smiling like a cat that doesn't even need to ask for the cream. ]

As though your lot aren't prone to breaking beautiful things. You could all stand to learn a more delicate touch.

[ She glances directly into the camera as she says the last sentence, perhaps speaking more to their audience now than the banter that seems to run between them. ]

It should do most of the work for you. Tap where you must to tell it what you want it to do, and then you can do or say whatever your little heart desires.

[ If she seems privately amused by the word "little," it's certainly just your imagination. ]

Laufey . . .

[Don’t be mean? Except he’s grinning, so. What is the truth, Tyr.]

Anyway! If you need any help, if you run into trouble, if you find you want to make some improvement-- although really, how could you? Have you seen who made this?-- do let us know, hm?

[And that’s that on that, it seems, because he’s turning towards the Best Girl, his voice quiet but so, so fond:]

--how long are you staying? Are we--

[That’s that on that, as someone’s finger comes down and closes it.]

[ OOC NOTE: it's here, friends! This is the official NPC post for From the Ground Up, meaning the network is now live for use! Your characters will all see this message at the same time, and then you will be free to post or contact each other at any time. Feel free to threadjack on this post at will!

Also, I forgot to mention this on the mod post, but everyone should set up an IC contact post in their character's journal. This mechanic is not optional, but we won't judge you if you don't use it at all. You can code this post in any way you want, and comments on IC contact posts are valid for AC!

There is also an optional log to interact with Laufey set up over here if anyone is interested in running into her.

Aaand speaking of NPCs, we're still accepting applications for Njord and Heimdall on this page if anyone was interested in checking it out. We would really love to have someone dedicated to playing these characters and haven't received any inquiries from interested parties for either of them yet, so if you were sitting on the idea, it's probably all yours after some discussion and whatnot! I'm (Faith) always happy to talk about this nonsense, so feel free to hit me up somewhere.

Otherwise, have at thee and enjoy the new network! ]
