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 can't help the small laugh that bubbles out of him.] What didn't I do? I am military governor and CO of Babylon 5. Run the place, get stuck in meetings, lead the fight against the Shadows, that kind of thing.

[He knew damn well he was a figurehead for the fight against the Shadows, but if it worked, he'd use every single trick he could.]

[brainsqueeze]

The Shadows?

[ It sounded slightly ominous and slightly ridiculous but... a shadow? ]

Did you choose to go there?

[onewho_willbe]

It's what they've been known as for millennia, because you can't track them. Ancient race, intent on causing conflict. [Blah blah blah because it's all been heard before. It gets tiring after a while, if he were being honest.]

No, I was assigned there. The joys of military life - you go where higher ups think you should go.[A low chuckle.] Even if it backfires on them spectacularly.

[brainsqueeze]

That sounds like a familiar story. ( Didn't it usually happen that way? With the exception of Thor and his friends, anyway. Loki had caused conflict and the Chitauri had had no qualms about getting involved in that. They wanted their takeover )

The assignment didn't fit?

[onewho_willbe]

Yeah, I can only imagine that it is. There seem to be certain universal truths other there - and races intent on causing conflict seem to be one of them.

Actually, surprisingly it did. It's a... complicated story. I wouldn't want to bore you with Earth history. [Unless she wanted to. Then he'd tell it. He had his reasons for wanting to, after all.]

[brainsqueeze]

It sounds more like the future. ( It was with the date that he'd given her, and what was happening. But it wasn't going to be their future, was it? This would be another parallel world. But it didn't hurt to hear - it had seemed interesting so far )

It feels like I haven't heard much about Earth being here.

[onewho_willbe]

[Who ws to say just what the future held for anyone? But parallel worlds were fascinating, however, he normally didn't have time to explore the idea.]

Earth starts colonizing Mars, and the solar system in late 21st century. We made first contact with an alien race in 2155 - or rather, they made contact with us. Claimed we were a 'long lost Centauri colony' at first. [But then, nothing was surprising about what the Centauri claimed.]

[brainsqueeze]

Did their claim pan out?

( If these aliens had anything to back it up with, but a lot scientifically could have changed since too )

[onewho_willbe]

Nah. The Centauri like to take any opportunity they can get to either get one over on you, or make money, and they saw and opportunity. Took us a while to refute it, though.
