[As the meteor showers begin to terrorize those on the streets, up pops a very useful video (not useful at all), courtesy of your friendly Aesir (super friendly!).]

It seems the timing to leave the forest could not have been more fortunate. [Yeah, see, Thor? She's got good ideas, so let's put that pout away.] I take it we truly have landed in the middle of a rebellion. Where do your loyalties lie, in this case?

[A pause.] And -

How does one communicate privately on these devices, if the need arises?

If I taught you how to filter, would you trust to use it? [So amused.]

Video

[asofwar]

With that look on your face, I would find it difficult.

[coldchaos]

Then I'll not waste either of our time.

[asofwar]

You have not answered my question.

[subecho]

Stare him in the helm, when the look of him brings laughter.

[asofwar]

That would not help.

[coldchaos]

Ah, Sif has taught the dog to- oh. Nevermind, it is you.

[subecho]

...the Commander has given say to fight against the gods of the realm.

[asofwar]

The Commander?

video;

[subecho]

A Captain of arms of the mortal world. He has fought bravely beside me - and against Loki.

[asofwar]

The Captain? We take orders from him?

[virginwings]

I know how~ It's really similar to a cell phone.

Do you know how to use one of those?

video;

[asofwar]

No.

[virginwings]

No? Uhm, well, that's okay. I didn't know before either, so I'll you show! Hold on.

[She sets down the device and disappears for a moment. When she returns, she is holding out a pink cell for Sif to see, awkwardly pushing a button to go into settings.] This is it. Let's see... all you gotta do is get in settings and use the arrow buttons to change whatever you want, public to private even, and then just press the okay button and exit. Everything is the same from there.

[asofwar]

[What the devil is that thing with the buttons and aaahh technology - isn't it enough that she's dominated the basic functions of the network device??]

How many more of those does a person need here?

[exaltate]

I find it wiser to leave all important communication to exchanges done in person. It's the only way to ensure no one else can hear. Just remember to secure the area beforehand.

[asofwar]

Exchanges done in person, though preferable, are apparently not always possible in this place. Considering the falling rocks, I would rather not risk an open head wound.

video;

[exaltate]

Yes, that's understandable... have you found a way to communicate privately then? I wish I knew more about these boxes they gave to us. My comrade Inigo didn't quite explain that much about them.

[ He was too busy ...being himself. ]

video;

[asofwar]

Your comrade...does he have a loose tongue around ladies?

[steleheart]

I don't know, maybe it's a good thing?

( v i d e o )

[asofwar]

The falling stars?

( v i d e o )

[steleheart]

The rebellion.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

Still working on that.

Deities might not be the best to back, but at least we know their brand of evil. Who's to say these other guys aren't going to be worse when all's said and done?

[ But he's got trust issues, and he's been thoroughly trained to be paranoid. And because, if it comes to backing a side he chooses or one his friends from home side with, he'll stay loyal to those first. ] Where do you stand?

[ Video ]

[asofwar]

I stand where there are no women and children hurt on the back of this rebellion.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

And fragile men? [ There's a hint of a smile to show he's teasing. ] Seems like a good place to be standing.
