1st Strike [Video]

[The video opens on a large blond man, shirtless, staring with open confusion at the PORTAL. He pokes at the screen, then looks over at the mirror, a frown starting to tug at the corners of his mouth.

He appears to think this is audio, not video.]I have been informed that this is a dream, yet I can not seem to wake up

[Have a video of a 17 years old teen, that's pretty much male, but it's a bit hard to tell.]

I'm sorry sir, we appear to have no idea how to really leave this place, we are trying. I this might help you.

[He takes the time to read--and as he does, his face shows all his emotions. Confusion, enlightenment, anger...everything. He isn't very good at schooling his thoughts.

Finally he looks back up]

So you are somewhere else, right now.

[He'll have to apologize to the other man, for assuming that he was a small man in a box.]

So no one knows how to leave?

[Yeah he just repeated your statement back.]

[Laurent waits in silence, understanding his confusion and anger.]

Yes, we all were dragged here without our consent. Perhaps the Queen and King knows, but they are not telling us because they believe we belong to this city.

But even them are controlled by someone else, someone we don't know...

[Video]

[godofpancakes]

Well perhaps I should simply go down to their palace and speak to them. I am...a future King myself. Perhaps all they need is someone to negotiate our release.

[Video]

[aeterno_arma]

I think you can ask for an audience if you go to the Palace, I don't think they will say 'no' to a future king.

[Laurent bows slightly.] It's pleasure to meet you, sir. I'm Laurent. Your future reign is that Asgard you mentioned?

[Video]

[godofpancakes]

Well good. Perhaps I can be of use here, then.

[He nods, and gives his own bow]

Yes.

Thor Odinson, at your service.

[Video]

[aeterno_arma]

[Oh, look that. He's not used to people bowing back at him, much less Kings.]

It's a pleasure, Thor Odinson. I know this place might look strange and confusing, but it gets better once you learn how it works. At first losing our voice at night seemed an annoyance, but the PORTALS are very useful when we need to communicate.

[godofpancakes]

As much as I would like to, I know I must adapt.

But not to worry. I am sure after I speak to the Royals, here, we shall all find ourselves free.

[Video]

[aeterno_arma]

Is the only way to survive sometimes.

I'm not sure sir. As much as I want to believe that they can be pretty stubborn. The gods in this place can't leave, and no one managed to convince the King and Queen so far.

[Video]

[godofpancakes]

Well most what considered Gods, are not. The people of Midgard--what you call Earth, consider myself and my people to be Gods.

[Video]

[aeterno_arma]

Why did they believe such thing?

I talked to gods before, real and fake ones. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference. [And that comes from someone who's the anthropomorphic representation of a goddess's power.]

[Video]

[godofpancakes]

We have abilities that were beyond Midgardians. So we were worshiped.

And I can understand that. I am considered the God of Thunder.

[Video]

[aeterno_arma]

Oh, I think I understand.

You can control the weather?

[Video]

[godofpancakes]

Yes, with my hammer, Mjǫlnir.

[Video]

[aeterno_arma]

Mjǫlnir...I don't need to use a hammer, but when I do that holding the holy scythe helps to.

A god or goddess gave you that hammer?

[Video]

[godofpancakes]

From my father.
