[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.]

[friggmagnet]

Oh yeah? Brilliant.

Uh, I'm Axl.

[infernoandhearth]

I'm Luke, then. Hallo. [He starts walking.]

[friggmagnet]

Luke. Right. Brilliant.

[It takes him a moment to notice that they're walking, but he catches up quickly enough.]

[infernoandhearth]

[They are not far from the Welcome Centre. It only takes some walking 'north' to get there.] It smells like there might be a meal... Or we've just missed it.

[friggmagnet]

They might have leftovers!

[infernoandhearth]

You're completely right. We shall have to see. [He gestures dramatically forward with one arm.] And hope. Ready, Axl? [He enters the centre.]

[friggmagnet]

Suppose so, yeah. I'm supposed to meet someone else here.

[infernoandhearth]

Really? Who?

Sorry my internet was down for a while

[helsmaiden]

Me. [ Leah steps out from the corner where she was waiting. ]

[friggmagnet]

[Oh hey, Leah. Is he all that you imagined and more?]

Hey.

[infernoandhearth]

[Oh hooray! Luke grins.]

Hi, Leah! What are you meeting up with Axl for?

[helsmaiden]

For these. [ She gestures and some clothes appear. After another look at Axl, though, she adjusts them to make them longer. ] I thought he would appreciate some dry things.

[friggmagnet]

So were you just standing there waiting for us the whole time?

[infernoandhearth]

She may have been. How long was the "whole time"?

[helsmaiden]

I was not here when we spoke. I arrived shortly before you yourselves did.

[friggmagnet]

Oh, okay. Cool. Thanks for the clothes and everything, that's really choice.

[infernoandhearth]

Will you join us, Leah, beyond just this bit? [He smiles chummily at Leah, then at Axl.] Axl and I were just about to try our chances at a meal, here.

[helsmaiden]

[ She makes a tiny bow. ] I will dine with you.

[friggmagnet]

Right on. As long as they don't mind all three of us.

[infernoandhearth]

I doubt they'd limit people just because they know each other.

[helsmaiden]

That would not be very welcoming.

[friggmagnet]

Guess you're right.

[Look he'll hold the door open for you, Leah, because he is well raised.]
