[Welcome to the city of Asgard. Now that you've woken up and been given your welcome instructions (as per the FAQ), what will you do? There are a good number of other new arrivals being shown to the gates, and for today the plaza that surrounds the castle is open for mingling. You could also head to your Welcome Hall (details here) and meet your Housemates if you'd like. Whatever you decide to do, have fun getting settled into your new home!]

(ooc note: there will be threads below for the plaza and each House. Mingle and get to know your fellow Travellers! This is a continuations post, but by all means feel free to start new threads.)

Aw, don't worry. [she comes over closer] It's not that cold, ya' just gotta keep moving t'stay warm!

[He steps cautiously back outside, steels himself by rubbing his arms a little and gives her a small nod.]

Yes, that's true. I guess I was just surprised. [A beat.] Though I would feel better if I knew where to find more and warmer clothes. Would you by any chance know...?

[willblossom.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, clothes! They'll be in yer room! Did your letter say what house you're in? If ya' go there, there's a room just for you with lots of clothes in it!

[sostaygold.livejournal.com]

So, they also provide clothing for us... I guess they really do want us to settle in here.

[Truthfully, he'd been expecting a little more hardship -- he hasn't been raised to expect life to be easy. This: being housed, fed and clothed by gods... it's not too good to be true, he knows the price already -- but it's certainly enough to throw him off.]

... Do the clothes look like yours?

[Said in a carefully neutral tone.]

[willblossom.livejournal.com]

Seems like it! And yeah... I wasn't sure how much I was supposed-ta wear, so I just put a buncha' stuff on.

[There's a peculiar twang to her speech that he hasn't heard before -- it's rather pleasant, actually. He smiles a little when he imagines the little girl not so much trying on her new clothes as climbing underneath them.

Well, some of those look downright outlandish, so it's probable he won't come out looking much better.]

I see. Thank you for your help -- may I ask which House you've been placed in?

[willblossom.livejournal.com]

Freyr! I think that's how ya say it... What about you?

[sostaygold.livejournal.com]

I was told my House was that of 'Heimdall'.

[Really, what strange names these 'gods' have. After a moment, something else hits him.]

Ah, I never did give my name, did I? It's Allen.

[willblossom.livejournal.com]

Hey, that's the house my Sis is in! You guys should meet up sometime.

Nice to meetcha' Allen, I'm Apple Bloom!

[sostaygold.livejournal.com]

It's a pleasure, Apple.

[... Her name is Apple, right? Right?! That is quite possibly one of the strangest names he's heard, and he's met someone named Gast Venom, okay.]

You... have a unique name. What is your sister called?

[Is it going to be just as weird......]

[willblossom.livejournal.com]

[huh, no one calls her apple... but she doesn't mind, it makes her name sounds kind of cool! :3] Really? What's weird 'bout it?

Her name is Applejack, she's got a blonde mane, green eyes, freckles, and wears a hat!

[sostaygold.livejournal.com]

Ah, I didn't say it was weird -- just unusual. It's not a name I've ever heard before.

[... Yep, her sister is just as weird. At least they're not names he's likely to forget anytime soon, though they do remind him that he hasn't eaten in... Well, let's call it a while.

It seems also like the sisters don't look much alike. Hmm.

('Mane'??)]

I will keep a lookout for your sister.

[Or an ear out. It's hard to miss a name like Applejack.]

[willblossom.livejournal.com]

You should! Applejack is the best, and she's sure to help ya' out in a pinch.

[sostaygold.livejournal.com]

You two really do sound like sisters. I look forward to meeting her.
