Would anyone be interested in a few rounds of sparring? I would prefer someone with a little experience in hand-to-hand, but I am also willing to help anyone interested in learning self-defense as well. I feel like it can be useful here.

[He's looking a little subdued, but that could quite easily just be his general demeanor, rather than a negative feeling.

The cupboards in the background make it obvious that he's in the kitchen at the time, glancing down at the PCD whilst he does something on the counter top.]

I realise the flood waters are still high, but it seems like the right time to hunt.

I'd be willing to go with others. The more food we can carry back the better.

[The video comes on to a visual of this little guy as he plays with the buttons on the device. Klaud is behind him as they appear to be sitting on the ledge of what look to be a building. She looks pensive and... wet from the chest down, along with her hair which is let down from its normal style. There is still a portion of it covering half her face.

She looks over at Lau Jimin, the monkey, with a frown.] Fine time for a flood.



[ooc; action is also welcome if you character happens to be braving the flood water. klaud left the city and went back home while i was 'out' and just returned inside the church. in the water. it makes for a very displeased general.]

 [The video only gets turned on by mistake, because Elizabeth is clearly not paying attention. She'd just been fiddling with the thing in idleness.

The video feed is pretty evident of that. Her nose was in a book, and yes it was completely in Latin but it was on one of her favourite texts, the works of Thomas Moore, so she didn't care. It was something to read. She was sprawled out on the restored falls of the convent like a little girl. Laying on her stomach, one leg swinging through the air, her shoes kicked off somewhere near her as she read. Completely undignified.

She looked up when she heard the beep of the device, frowning for a second, before beaming earnestly. No one could ruin this for her right now.]

The convents been restored, but I found this [taps the side of the book] I'm not moving from here, beyond taking books and some of the candles and matches, are they called? That I found. I haven't looked much. [and she sighs like she just got a kiss from a lover. She's so utterly content right now, this place, it feels like home. It has that warm cloistered feel.] 

[Lavi's device falls off of whatever it was set on and clatters to the ground on its side, turning on. He's outside in the sun, shirtless, and working on cutting wood.

In the background there are pieces of what looks like will be tables and chairs at some point. But for now they're rough pieces.

Lavi takes a break after cutting a dozen more logs in quarters, looking for the device.]

I need a bag for you or something.

[He picks it up and dusts the wood shavings off.]

Anyone want to work on building some arm muscles? The planks I've got for the table and chairs are a bit uneven. I have a hand sander and a jack plane if anyone wants to help.

Rin, do you want any of this wood for your cooking? I can cut it finer but I was thinking of maybe having a bonfire after the solstice in June.

[There is a pause at first, then a strong voice with a strange way of speaking follows, and commands attention without needing to demand it with exact words.]

I would know how I came to be in this realm, this is neither Asgard nor Midgard, nor any world I have seen before. If any have information, it would be greatly welcomed, and the location of the one known as Loki is crucial to me.

[A pause and he sighs.] Brother, if you are within this realm, you will come to me immediately. We have things we must discuss in person. [He isn't sure what else to say, or even if he's being heard by anyone, talking into this contraption, so he finally just ends it there.]
