Spinning Compass Comunications

[LOUD Norse swearing]

( Lady Frigga, Lord Loki and Lord Thor, you have one (1) new message )

( Doctor Cuddy, you have two new messages )

was it you who gave me the gummy animals?

[lots of soft Norse swearing and then a big sigh]

will you show me how to go unnoticed through the door?

[Astrid's phone has clearly been talking to Dan's, and this time she's the one being broadcast as she sings while she's cooking. She has a nice voice, although not nearly as good as some, and she's switching between old Norse songs and her favourites that she's learned since arriving on the station. She is obviously unaware that her phone is doing such a thing]

( Zip-zips to Jack and Abra )

( Texts to Bryn, Astrid and Hrodolf )

[OoC: Spoken in Old Norse, and broadcast over the phones accidentally. It's obvious that Astrid is doing something as she talks quietly to herself. For any Norse gods who might be getting this in a more direct way, she's been praying off and on for a little while now, since she woke up.]

[Hail to you, O Gods, whom I love and honor with all my being,
You who are wise and all-knowing, strong and merciful,
I would ask for your assistance for I find myself and my mam's friend lost and trapped in a strange place,
The longhouse we find ourselves in is almost like I should know it, but yet it is strange to me,
The door is enchanted and will not let anyone pass through, and I fear we are not on the station any more.
I beg your help, O Gods, for we are in need of it.]

[OoC: These texts were sent just after Dan's audience with Frigga finished, so, like, two or three weeks ago. Yes, I'm slow.]

( Jack, Bryn, Astrid and Zu, you have five (5) new messages )

( Abra, Dan is zip-zipping at you! )

( Bryn, Astrid, Zu, Brenna, Dan, Jack, Abra, Scarlet and Blank, you all have one new message )

Do you want to help me shop for a dress to wear to the party? I can help you look for dresses too if you want. I used to shop with my mom

( Bryn and Astrid, you have one new message )

(accidental voice post, slightly muffled as the phone is in his pocket)

If you believe it does.
If you believe it does.
If you..what the fuck?

Richie! Anybody?

Where are my friends, mother fucker?

[Hródolf is very excited! He is flicking between English and Norse]

NAN! NAN! I made you picsures for your birfday! [Come and see! Come and see! I have to show you!]

...can I have bekfas too?

To Thor, Brenna, Astrid, Zu, Jack Abra and Dan:

[OoC: Spoken in Old Norse]

[Greetings to you, All-Mother, whom I love and honor with all my being, You who are wise and all-knowing, strong and merciful,
I find myself asking for your wisdom and knowledge.
My sister is talking about us returning to visit our homeland through the door to this New York,
but she says we must fly. How is this possible?
It is not my place to question the actions and the will of the Gods, but how did mortals such as myself gain the ability to fly? Did you share the knowledge with them?
I do not understand this, and I would fear to take my family into the skies if I did not know it was proper to do so.

Thank you for listening, All-Mother. Would you like to come round for dinner some night?]

[This is new... Am I doing this correctly?]

(OoC: Dan is speaking Norse. Specifically, Brenna, Bryn and Astrid's dialect)

-ello. I am Astrid. Am I doing this correctly?

[OoC: Spoken in Old Norse]

[Greetings to you, O Gods, whom I love and honor with all my being, You who are wise and all-knowing, strong and merciful,
I find myself asking for your assistance yet again. My sister is ill, O Gods, and I know not how to heal her.
Herbs and poultices will not draw the illness from her, and I cannot see a wound that needs lanced and drained,
Yet she sickens and worsens. I beg your help, not for my sake, but for my Brenna. I cannot fight this battle for her, and she weakens.

If I might ask another boon, I would also ask if there is some way we could learn the tongue of this place.
I have no knowledge of the language spoken while we live amongst you, O Gods, and the stars,
But I would know it if I could, so that I may talk with the people in the little box, or the people who visit Mam,
And so that Brenna may thank the people who help her, and so that my Hródolf can talk to... everyone he charms.

I beg your help, O Gods, in the only way I know how. If you are coming to visit with Mam any time soon, I can also cook dinner if you wish.]
