oo3 » voice. forward dated to sunday morning.

[ Oh look, another person is fumbling with the tablet today. There's a short capture of the grey sky and a glimpse of bright red hair before a "clunk!" sound can be heard and a panicky-- ] Oh no! Did I brea-- [ The video stops there.

Several minutes later, the audio comes on. Whether it's by mistake or choice, who knows. You can still hear the rain coming down heavily and then a young girl's voice speaks up. The same one who was panicking not too long ago. ]

Hello? Is there anyone who can hear this? Hello? I'm-- [ her voice is almost hard to make out in the rain, so she talks louder: ] I don't know how I got up here and I'm stuck! Somebody on the street told me they were gonna come, but it's been forever and it's cold and raining and-- [ She sounds cold, tired and scared. ]

Can somebody come and get me down from the roof? [ A beat. ] Please?

[ ooc: max will be retrieving her! otherwise all network replies will be icly delayed by an hour or so. ]

Perhaps not in your world, child, but there are many people from many worlds here. We are well known where I am from.

Are there other gods here?

Yes, Loki is here. He is also of Asgard. [Sort of.]

Loki... [ Her brows knit closely in deep thought, trying to remember who that one is supposed to be. ] Uh... which one's he supposed to be again?

The God of Mischief and Chaos.

'Twould be best to avoid him.

[ He sounds serious. :|a If he's trouble, she'll avoid him then. She's not interested right now in running into creepy men. ]

Is he dangerous?

Yes, he has an unfortunately distasteful sense of humor.

Well... I guess I wouldn't talk to him then. If he's some kind of criminal.

Fear not, he would not find a child to be an especially interesting target. He has spent too long fighting the gods.

[ A long pause. ]

You really mean it-- that you're a real god and you aren't making it up for some reason?

Yes, I mean every word. 'Tis more in heaven and earth, et cetera, et cetera.

There are dragons and elves and many others as well.

Dragons? You've seen dragons?

Yes, and fought them too. But all the dragons I've met here have been quite friendly.

There are seriously dragons here, too? The kind that breathe fire and fly?!

Yes, very serious dragons. Some small enough to hold as well.

[ She's in awe; it doesn't sound like he's joking at all with her the way most would play along with a kid. ]

Small ones? Are they baby dragons, then?

I have seen a fledgling here, along with the large adults. Though such a tiny dragon is too young to hold a conversation.

So they talk, too...

[ Whoa. ]

Am I really not dreaming?

A dream would probably make more sense than this.

I don't know... they're not supposed to make sense.

But life ofttimes presents us with scenarios far stranger than our minds would dream.

[ Kate pauses to consider and her expression falls again. ]

Yeah, that's true... it's not really fair.

At least one cannot call it boring.

It is boring. Life does unfair things and then becomes boring!

Art thou bored? There are many other children here at the moment.
