[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.]

Same way the rest of us did. Just kinda... arrived. Now we're all stuck.

Action

[friggmagnet]

Like... magic?

Re: Action

[trenchknives]

Uh, yeah. That's probably the best way to put it, strangely enough.

Action

[friggmagnet]

What, seriously? Who's behind this?

[Man, if he says 'Colin Gunderson' Axl is going to lose it.]

Re: Action

[trenchknives]

Not sure anybody knows exactly. They call 'em deities, but I'm not so sure. Assholes, in any case.

Action

[friggmagnet]

Like... gods?

Re: Action

[trenchknives]

That's what they say. Dunno if I buy it.

Action

[friggmagnet]

Which gods?

[Because hey, being Lord of the Aesir works for him on occasion when it comes to their kind.]

Re: Action

[trenchknives]

[A pause, as he frowns.]

Good question. They never actually said.

Action

[friggmagnet]

Do you know where they are? I could try... talking to them.

[DAMMIT why doesn't he have his sword?]

Re: Action

[trenchknives]

I dunno where they are specifically, but you can, y'know...

[He gestures to the device Axl was trying to use to call his brother.]

You can ask to talk to 'em on the network.

Action

[friggmagnet]

So I can just... call other gods? That's a bit too easy, don't you think?

Re: Action

[trenchknives]

Other gods? Are you trynna say you're a god?

[He laughs.]

Action

[friggmagnet]

No! No. Of course not. That we be totally crazy, right?

Re: Action

[trenchknives]

Well, I mean, you did kinda say 'other gods'.

Action

[friggmagnet]

Just, other than the usual! You know!

[FUCK]

Re: Action

[trenchknives]

So... you talk to the 'usual' gods regularly?

[The look on Jimmy's face is somewhere between amusement and confusion.]

Action

[friggmagnet]

No.

It what just a mistake, bro. So, has anyone worked out getting home yet?

Re: Action

[trenchknives]

Well, sometimes people end up goin' home, but there's no rhyme or reason to it.

Action

[friggmagnet]

And no one's figured out how they manage it? That's a bit useless.

Re: Action

[trenchknives]

Yeah, kinda useless, but maybe we'll figure it out someday. Maybe.

[He shifts his weight from one leg to the other, looking pained.]

Action

[friggmagnet]

Uh... are you alright, man?

Re: Action

[trenchknives]

Yeah, I'm fine. Just got this old war wound. Nothin' serious.

Action

[friggmagnet]

Shit, man. What happened?

Re: Action

[trenchknives]

[He gestures to his leg.]

There's some schrapnel in there.
