[The video clicks on to a shot of one of Asgard's maids. You've seen them. They've accosted all you poor, hapless souls who have been brought to this place. She's smiling at the bracelet's owner, wearing red and explaining how to reach Hel's house from the Palace. After she finishes, she looks to the camera and asks if there are any other questions

Do you normally assess the situation by beating people over the heads with a pipe?

I was startled and I reacted. She didn't do likewise, and I decided to investigate.

An interesting way to react.

[He's smoking. Mmmmmm.]

Yeah? What have you discovered?

They don't answer many questions, and they are invulnerable - to my efforts, at least. That's all. Going to find the house they're talking about.

I'm pretty sure that's because the maids aren't actually human. Or have nerve endings.

Hitting them isn't really going to get you any new answers, either.

I feared that was the case.

They're pretty good at pretending to be helpful. They almost had me fooled for a second.

I'm glad you managed to escape their informational brainwashing.

It's not difficult when you don't listen much to them.

If that's all it takes to make you uncomfortable, it seems you're probably in for quite a ride.

It's not really the invincible maid herself. It's the idea that things aren't what they seem.

Is your view of the world so narrow that most things are?

[in_oxidation]

It's wide enough to know that I should be suspicious.

Found a hobby have you.

[in_oxidation]

Not really. I'd rather not make a habit of it here.

[bearswitness]

Well that's good I'm sure someone somewhere would eventually take issue.

[in_oxidation]

Yes, I gathered random violence would be frowned upon.

I am surprised no one has mentioned it yet. Is it because she wasn't hurt?

[veritates]

Did you really just hit her?

text;

[in_oxidation]

Yes. I recorded it for a reason.

[veritates]

What if you had actually hurt her?

[in_oxidation]

Then I would have left knowing my hunch had been wrong.
