[The feed starts with a audio. Someone obviously thinks their device is a phone and is attempting to leave a voicemail.]

Mike? Um, what’s going on here? Is this like some God shit? You told me Goddess ceremonies are different, but I was seriously not expecting this. Not until the drinking started, anyway.

And Mike? If you’re just fucking with me this is seriously NOT the time. Call me back, yeah?

[Axl ends the call, inadvertently turning on the video. There’s a shot of a young man in skinny jeans and a t-shirt, soaked completely to the skin before he shoves the phone in his pocket. His voice is heard muffled through his jeans before it turns off.]

Uh, ‘scuse me? I’m not in Auckland, am I? It's in New Zealand, yeah.

Oh... fuck.





[ooc: You are now plus one Norse god, City! Action for anyone near the fountain. Axl is 6'3" and soaking wet so he will be easy to spot. BRING HIM A TOWEL BEFORE HE CATCHES HIS DEATH and takes everyone with him.]

Uh, its nice of you to try and help and everything, man. But I really need to just find my brothers. I kind of left at a bad time.

[infernoandhearth]

I've not met a Mike, yet, but that doesn't mean he isn't here, I suppose.

private;

[friggmagnet]

And where is here, exactly?

private;

[infernoandhearth]

A city which kidnaps people.

private;

[friggmagnet]

Like, the city itself, or people in the city?

private;

[infernoandhearth]

A very good question.

private;

[friggmagnet]

...so are you going to answer it?

private;

[infernoandhearth]

I can't answer it, actually. I've no idea. Maybe you ought to ask the gods yourself.

private;

[friggmagnet]

Call the gods on the phone. Right.

private;

[infernoandhearth]

Make a blog post on the Network. They tend to pay attention to those.

private;

[friggmagnet]

So people like, tweet for gods or something? Freaky.

private;

[infernoandhearth]

They don't always respond. They have an awful lot of followers.

private;

[friggmagnet]

Yeah, I reckon they might.

private;

[infernoandhearth]

Only the twitter sort, of course. They aren't much liked. Has anyone told you of the curses, yet?

private;

[friggmagnet]

No as such, no.

private;

[infernoandhearth]

Weird stuff happens to people in the City or the City itself every couple of days. Things grabbing you from the ground, or people turning into clockwork versions of themself. That one's today.

private;

[friggmagnet]

Whoa. Freaky, man.

private;

[infernoandhearth]

I've heard it's meant to get worse in October, but it's not happened so far.

private;

[friggmagnet]

Oh, for like Halloween or something?

private;

[infernoandhearth]

Yes, curses are generally themed.

private;

[friggmagnet]

So like, is this place run by the gods of party planning or some shit?

private;

[infernoandhearth]

It might be. I'm not actually sure they're the gods of anything, really. Just generic gods.

private;

[friggmagnet]

They need to be god of something. What's the point, otherwise?

private;

[infernoandhearth]

General godly powers, I'd think.

private;

[friggmagnet]

Sounds a bit lame, really.
