VIDEO; UN:ODINSON

[deemed]

So we are to fight. [Odinson is freshly bathed, his hair tied back in a knot. There's a new light in his eyes at the promise of this. Killing robots is a task well-suited to him. This he can do.]

Being newly-come to this group, I know few of you, and few of you know me. I would know the skills and knowledge of those I will fight alongside. Or die alongside, if this enemy is truly so formidable. [The half-smile that follows indicates he doesn't quite believe that's a possibility.]

Myself, I am Odinson, of Asgardia, God of Thunder. [There's the slightest hesitation there, for anyone who'll notice such a thing. Something unsaid.] I have fought across the nine realms of my universe, and will fight here with hammer or blade or my fists until the enemy is routed or I am slain. If any wish to spar or learn to fight in the days before we are summoned to Oska, you have only to call on me.

Likewise, any tacticians or those with knowledge of Oska or the enemy, share your knowledge. We ought have some plan before we are shipped back. [Is that sarcasm???]

Oh— er... [ Give her a second, she's counting. ]

... About half a year now, I believe. I was recruited [ "Recruited" ] while the team was in Perdition's Rest.

[deemed]

Would you say that this team has been successful in its missions while you have been with it?

[He's only been here a short time, and he doesn't know everyone. It's hard to gauge how things are working out with so little knowledge.]

[tolight]

Yes.

[ Surprisingly, it's an easy answer. There's many definitions of success that the team seems to have, but to her— ] It may not have always ... been the most ideal scenario, but we have always reached our mission objectives.

Why do you ask?

[deemed]

It is good to know the history of the team I am joining. It seems many were dispirited after our mission in Woodhurst.

[But it's nice to know he's joining a team of winners, more or less.]

[tolight]

... It wasn't an easy mission, especially with several members of our team compromised. [ Even with the pause, her words are even. Almost clinical, in some ways, as if she's discussing their latest strategy or her team's performance as an outsider. It's easier to deal with things this way, probably. ]

We're lucky that most of us were able to return — but it would be a lie to say that Woodhurst wasn't taxing, both physically and emotionally.

[deemed]

Aye, it seemed as such.

[He hadn't been especially sensitive to it at the time, being too concerned with his own troubles. He'll have to do better in the future.]

I thank you for answering my questions, Lucina of Ylisse. I will see you shortly.

[tolight]

It was my pleasure. [ On the other end, Lucina straightens, and gives a small nod that Odinson definitely can't see. ]

I'll speak to you soon. [ And then they fought in some clearing and slight bonded training, the end?? ]
