WEEK 1

[The train wouldn't stop. Not until very early the next morning. The few who might have been awake would be able to exit the train, entering the cool twilight of the dawn. The star is dark, and few stars can be seen in the sky as a cold breeze begins to blow from the mountain beyond. You can see some chunks of rock floating idly nearby, far away from the station that it won't hit trains, but near enough that one can see they are larger than the train they just disembarked.

Lastly, laid out in front of them, the first port of call: Menahoven. The mountain: The Throat of the World.

But which world? Who knows. Not any of yours. Maybe it doesn't matter. Not when you are so far from home. Not when you have no way to get off this rock without the aid of the trains-and they will not let you pass.

It looks like you're stuck here until the Conductor decides to leave. In the meantime, everyone will need to get comfortable.


There are fifteen strangers left in this place.]

[ mmmhmmmmm sure you are minato. ]

Thor ... I recognize that one. Could you tell me more?

[biddentodance]

Probably the most well-known. God of storms and thunder. Hammer, Mjolnir, that would always return when thrown. Might've been unusable by anyone else? Not sure...

Also a favorite target of Loki's pranks. Rode a chariot pulled by rams, if I remember. Wife named Sif, known for beautiful golden hair...until Loki cut it off. And then got her new hair, literally made of gold.

[ hmmm... it all sounds fascinating but there one thing that sticks out from what Minato had said ]

A hammer?

[ ... ]

Back home the humans made a weapon out of magitechnology called Thor's Hammer. It's ... a really powerful weapon that consumes a ton of mana.

[ And boy does he sound a little bitter about that. Just one of the stupid things the humans made ]

[biddentodance]

And....that;s what killed the tree.

[Logical conclusion based on what he's learned so far. But, speaking of logical conclusions...]

'The humans' - you're not? [He doesn't sound suspicious or anything, just...simple curiosity.]

[eternaldivide]

One of many weapons, yes.

[ Mithos' eyes widen slightly at Minato's next question. Even if he doesn't sound suspicious... ]

.... No. I'm an elf.

[ a full-blooded one y e p ....... ]
