[The camera is not on Rhus, but instead on the two mannequins before him, dressed up in fancy garb. And that's what he'll be keeping the device's camera on for the rest of the video, with a bit of wobble here and there as he moves. Or breathes.]

The Ruby Bazaar is open now. 'Tis a tailoring store within the Tyr district-- [A pause, then a grumble. Despite sounding tired, he still has enough vitality in him to grumble low in his throat. Clearly someone doesn't know how to advertise. But he's trying.]

If you need clothing, or any kind of textile product like bedding and furnishings just come by. The building is of red brick, with a sign-- you cant miss it. These two coats on the mannequins will be gone by the end of this month, I shall be offering them off to Skadi and the other gods. But they are not cheap, and they certainly will not be available forever.

Lastly... if anyone knows how to animate objects, I've a fair number of questions for you.

[ ooc: come to the ruby bazaar! feel free to have your character place orders or requests here, or on the ooc page itself. any ic questions can also be placed in this post. ]

Soooo, that was unpleasant.

[ Crowley is recording while sat at a desk with a few books scattered around. It's clearly Odinhaus, to anyone who has been inside, and also clearly Aziraphale's to anyone who recognises it.

This is not especially a surprise to anyone else who lives there, given that his voice can probably be heard from somewhere in it nearly all the time.
]

Tree thing. Bad tree. Gnome thing, too, very weird -- wouldn't expect that of gnomes, kidnapping people and all. Thought they just hung around in gardens and looked after princesses.

[ Isn't that right? It's possible Crowley's information is, uh, irrelevant. ]

Anyway, speaking of trees -- I did learn something about the other tree. The, uh, main big tree.

[ The name has a lot of letters and he keeps getting it wrong ]

Big, important tree.

[ A sedate, if slightly frustrated background voice says Be clear you're talking about Yggdrasil. It's definitely Aziraphale's voice. ]

Yeah, that one. So, turns out the uh... whole... absorbing you without the bracelets thing might have something to it. Or, at least, the tree definitely does that -- I mean, less absorbing and more... unravelling you, sort of... permanently... from having ever existed. Little bit murkier on if it's definitely connected to the jewellery not being worn, but proving that seems... difficult.

[ 'Hey, do you mind taking off your bracelet to see if you get permanently deleted from history' seems a bit of a hard sell. ]

Anyway, interesting though. Weird, but interesting. Oh! Another thing --

[ Crowley turns his recording so there's a quick pan of some of the tiny room in Odinhaus. ]

Bit pokey, aren't they? These little dorm rooms. Feel like I'm in a budget hostel.

[ It isn't... that bad... ]

Has anyone moved out of these places? Must be other places you can live.

[ Aziraphale's voice pipes up again: Other places you might live where company is allowed overnight, he specifies. Crowley shoots him a slight frown off screen, tries to act relaxed about this correction. ]

Yeah, you know, places you don't get kicked out early.

[ Right. That. ]

[It's Ariadne posting, so no matter how carefully she's planned her speech, the first few moments of the feed are nothing but her fumbling with her bracelet, trying to properly get herself into the frame.

But there's something very new this time.

It's Ariadne.

Her face is the same as always, except for the fact that it's green. Green as the underside of a maple leaf. And her hair is candy-floss blue. So that's...not normal. And while some of you have seen this look on her, the vast majority have not. She's been careful. Maybe even paranoid.

And from the grimace on her face, she looks very, very guilty.]


So. I've been lying. For a very long time. I don't feel bad about it. Not exactly. But I never felt good about it either.

This...this is me. What I actually am. I'm Alastrian. We're harmless, really. And I would never hurt anyone. Even if I look...well...a little different. And I won't. I mean, it's just easier to look Human. But I wanted to tell the truth. Because I feel like I've been stealing someone's face. Because it looks like we're all going to be here a long time. And because...well. I guess I just wondered what it would be like to live a more honest life.

[She pauses, clearly a little overwhelmed by all of this.]

I'm sorry I lied.

[ The feed starts with Jim greeting the viewers with bright blue eyes and a smile. He’s at the farm, in what looks like an office he’s managed to put together, sitting at a desk with journals and various papers scattered across the surface. ]

Hello, Asgard. For those who don’t know me, I’m Captain James Kirk. That’s Klaus Hargreeves over there.

[ He motions behind him, to where Klaus is busy… doing something or other in the background. Klaus abandons whatever he’s doing to approach the desk and greet their viewers properly. ]

Hey, hi, hello! [ An enthusiastic fingergunning motion with the hand not holding a pen. ] So, I was talking to a friend of mine, uh, however long ago about how we really need something to tell the days apart. Like, obviously, we already know when it’s daytime and nighttime, even without having to go back to our godhauses during the latter, but we don’t… have anything like a calendar?

Which is why we’re here. [ Klaus twirls the writing utensil between his fingers then points it toward Jim, evidently quite pleased with their progress already. ] Working together on something to help all of us out in the long run.

Of course, we want your guys’ opinions of how we should go about this since not everybody’s worlds are the same. [ Another gesture toward his partner, that way Jim knows he can take the floor once he’s finished for the moment. ]


[ Jim nods along to Klaus’s explanation, waiting for him to finish to continue talking. ]

I realize this might seem pointless to some of you, but maybe not all. So what we’re curious about is what measures of time you use in your world, if any at all. I’ve noticed that most places measure it through hours, days, weeks, months and years, which is more or less how we do it where I’m from. It goes like this…

Sixty seconds makes up one minute, sixty minutes makes up one hour, and twenty-four hours makes up one day. Each week has seven days, and a month can have anywhere between twenty-eight and thirty-one days. A year has 365 or 366 days. However, space travel is fairly commonplace where I’m from, so we also use stardates, which is a more universal way to measure time across all planets that are either part of or allied with Federation space, or in some way related to the Federation.

I’m curious to hear about how everyone measures time where they’re from. If you have a calendar, and how it works. How long are your days and years, if you have them at all. And if you don’t measure time at all where you’re from, why is that? How do you keep track of events that happened, or events that will happen in the future? Or is time just a construct your species doesn’t adhere to in general?

[ Jim realizes he’s rambling like a nerd sssssoooo he shuts up to let Klaus get a word in if he wants to, and finish the announcement for the both of them. ]

As you can see, we’re both pretty excited about it! I think it’s safe to say, we’d ideally like to get something on the bracelets that’s easily accessible to everyone. [ He glances toward Jim for confirmation, somehow grinning even wider. ] Until then, [ A beat while he plucks up a piece of paper with haphazardly written numbers, ] it’ll be good ol’ reliable paper.

We can definitely ask the gods about making as many copies as necessary, I think. Pretty sure they won’t mind? If so, then no worries, we’ve got this. [ Their hands will certainly be tired afterward, but hey, worth it! ]

Thanks, as always, for your attention, you lovely people!

[ Though smartphones haven't yet been invented in Brianna's time, she's quickly caught on to using this technology, impressed with the usefulness inherent in it. It's an easy way to communicate, keep in touch, and even to get to know other people. Having observed quite the spectrum of messages being exchanged over the network, she decides it might be fun, perhaps, to offer the chance to play a game. ]

I'm Brianna Randall, for those of you I haven't met yet. Many of you still, in fact. Which leads me to the reason for this post.

If anyone's interested in a fun little game of sorts, on the subject of psychology, I'll ask you a few questions and you respond when and if you feel like it. Traditionally, we would do this together at a dinner party, but it can still work like this.

[ She has no idea how many people might actually be interested, but it's always been a nice way to get to know others, at least. ]

Picture whatever comes to mind first when I ask you. Closing your eyes is optional, of course, but adds to the experience. [ She smiles a little, in her element. Things might not have been easy mentally for her when she'd first arrived, but she's settling in as well as anyone could. ]

I want you to imagine that you're in a forest with someone. Picture the person you're with. [ She'll pause here for a count of three seconds before continuing. ] You encounter an animal. Now, I want you to imagine that you reach a clearing.

When you're ready, tell me what you saw and who you were with, and I'll tell you what each answer represents. Symbolically speaking, of course.

[Despite being from 1960s America, Claire's adjusted rather quickly to this network--mostly from watching, and mostly from delicately fiddling about with the bracelet herself. Still, she looks a little uncertain when she begins to record. Anyone that saw her in her early days of Asgard will realize that wavy bob she once wore was the result of a powerful perm that her hair as since escaped. It's natural state is much curlier, frizzier, and unmanageable, and it's mostly pulled back out of her face for now. She takes a moment to fix it before speaking.]

Hello. It seems we've taken to using this network to establish things. Councils, services offered... and whatnot. [She only looks at it now and then.] I thought I'd bring some attention to a matter that's been of some concern to me since I noticed it, not long after coming to Asgard.

[Brace yourselves, youths.]

We have a lot of children among us. Children that would still be living with their parents if they weren't here. I think we all need to be... mindful of that, say, if a dragon decides to cause trouble. Or if there's any sort of trouble at all.

Our living arrangements do offer a sense of security, but I think in the event of a crisis or even things raining from the skies, we should have a safe place for the younger ones here. I work at the hospital--it'd be busy during a disaster, but I don't think anyone would chase anyone away that wanted to be somewhere safe, with people.

Of course, if anyone has any better ideas, I'd love to hear them. I'm far from an expert on this city and what it has to offer. I suppose the point of this is that we should be looking out for the kids, especially if someone else would be doing it for them at home. I'm sure some of you are doing so already.

And before anyone under the age of oh, seventeen or eighteen decides to come after me with the whole I can take care of myself spiel, I know. You probably can. Doesn't mean you should.

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.
