Day 461 ( June 9/10 )

When the Travellers wake up, they will find a message sent to every bracelet in the city:

As per the agreement between the gods and their Travellers, all persons within Asgard are humbly requested at the castle courtyard for enlistment in the Holy City's war efforts. Every individual is invited to find their resolve and seek out their purpose; this is the final stand in Ragnarok, and your help is needed now more than ever.

Enlistment is mandatory! Please see your local officials for more information.

A friendly if not a touch formal invitation to what will essentially be Asgard's job fair! A mandatory job fair. This is why we can't have nice things.

The castle courtyard and the streets leading into it will be crowded with bustling natives and several booths, not uncommon in appearance to the many festivals they've had over the last two years. This time, however, there is no music or celebration to be had. Everyone is hard at work organising their efforts for the war and doing their level best to assist in the transition.

Day 462 ( June 11/12 )

The fair will continue for two days, to give everyone time to get down there and make their decisions. Anyone that hasn't signed up by the end of this day will be visited at home by a city rep and a few guards that will politely ask them to register for a group and weaponry if they plan to carry it. Refusal will land them in jail for the day, where they will still be politely asked to please, seriously, just pick something. Anything. Uncle Odin wants you.

At the end of the fair, there will be food and drinks to thank the Travellers for their support and cooperation. Throughout the entirety of the event and for the rest of their stay, the natives will be more reverent and grateful than ever than the Travellers have chosen to stay and fight at their side. They will do anything they can to help them win this war; this evening will be one of camaraderie and appreciation for the past, present, and future sacrifices to save the World Tree.

[He gives her an arrogant - though nice - little smile.]

There there, not everyone’s built to be a hero. Maybe it’s a good thing you signed up for two groups then, you won’t have time to worry with all the work.

[saving_sound]

Eh--

Is that how it works...?

[She'll stop worrying if she's busy? But she's busy now and she's still worrying...]

[abhero]

Uh, yeah? Work's distracting. I guess there are better alternatives but I don't think anyone's gonna sell you booze.

[saving_sound]

...Booze?

[What does that have to do with this?]

[abhero]

Yeah, it's a really great distraction. Drinking your worries away and everything -

[He cuts himself off, finally remembering he's talking to a twelve year old girl.]

- but uh, you probably shouldn't do that.

[saving_sound]

[Heeh-]

I-I would never!

[She's well aware she is underage for that.]

[abhero]

Good. Some kids do.

[Like Hamel. When the only parental supervision you've had most of your life is a very small crow, you do a lot of stupid things.]

[saving_sound]

But... isn't that against the rules?

[abhero]

[A flat stare.]

Again with this argument? I don't see your point.

[saving_sound]

But you're not supposed to...

[abhero]

Yeah that's not gonna stop anyone who really wants to do it.

[saving_sound]

But they'll get in trouble, won't they?

[abhero]

Not if they make sure they don't get caught.

[saving_sound]

It's hard to do that though... isn't it?

[abhero]

Which is why you have to be clever and sneaky!

[Like Hamel, master of cunning plans.]

[saving_sound]

But if it's wrong to do it in the first place, isn't it better if you don't try?

[abhero]

[He squares his shoulders and gives his cape a quick flair, striking his best vigilante pose.]

Some rules are meant to be broken!

[saving_sound]

[The dramatics go right over her head in favor of Important Questions like:]

...Which ones?

[abhero]

Oh you know. Eating in theatre, going places when there's a "Do Not Enter" sign and hunting in the king's forest. Stuff like that.

[saving_sound]

But the last one-- that will get you in serious trouble if you do get caught!

[abhero]

Oh, so people are supposed to starve because some of stupid rule?

[saving_sound]

Eh-

Wh-what do you mean by starving? I thought it was just about poaching...

[abhero]

Yeah? But you poach 'casue you happen to be hungry on private property.

[He never hunted for other reason than to eat, and people's life is hard in his world, no one can afford hunting for sporst. He can't think of any other reason you'd do that.]

[saving_sound]

You can't just go back into town and buy food there? It's really bad to poach on the king's land...!

[abhero]

Maybe you don't have money! Or maybe the king's forest is really big that you'd strave before you make it back to town!

[Or maybe you're a half-demon kid scared of going into settlements with actual people.]
