The Tower
The incident with Henry and Mitch (and Will, I suppose, as well) has left Asgard shaken once more. It makes me sick to my stomach.

When Henry and Will came in, bloody and wounded, it was...I couldn't see the wounds. And I feel blessed for that. It was so much to do.

Eileen was a wonderful help. I would not have been able to treat them properly if she hadn't aided me. I owe her a debt of gratitude that would take lifetimes to repay.

When Mitch came home I feared I would scream out my lungs! How cruel is this? How heartless! How predictable that it should happen to some of the best of us. They sit over there in their Niflheim, hardly making a sound until suddenly one of us is missing and the others are forming a cavalry.

What is it we're doing wrong?

I am pitiful.

I should know better. I should! To heal so much when I'm not ready...

This is my downfall. To offer assistance when there are other as capable, if not more, than I am. Alice could have saved them. Why didn't I simply go to her and ask her? It is her gift; her birthright. It is only something I know how to do.

And now I am ill. I am coughing up blood, of all things. I know what it is, even if I cannot see it. Sometimes I fear someone will see it - that I won't clean it off my face well enough. My body is too tired, even my visions will not come to me. I am sore, but I must pull myself together. They cannot know.

It can only get better. It must!

	Indeed. They seem to have no boundaries and no rules to their plans. It seems we may have to adopt a similar mindset. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not sure I want to see it get that far, Miss Blythe. If we lose our own... perspective then why are we Heaven's side? If you see what I'm saying. But that doesn't mean we don't defend ourselves, and give them a good fight... But that's just ... my opinion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, no, I hadn't meant we become volatile and aggressive as they are, but I meant that...that they know so much of us. They must be watching somehow. We should perhaps try the same? To learn of them somehow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Filtered to Asgard franksunderland 2008-06-14 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	I'm glad you agree then. But that... that's a very wise idea. [OOC: Are we continuing the other thread? Just checking.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You think so? I fear I am not so knowledgable of such tactics, but I get more and more afraid each day that someone could die. {AN: I'm still all systems go on it, if you'd like.

	I think about that too, that someone could die. They certainly wouldn't stop at that. It... I try not to worry but... [OOC: For some reason I didn't get a notification of your comment! That's why I asked. Sorry about that; I just posted again.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Filtered to Asgard blind_oracle 2008-06-14 09:53 pm UTC (link)

	Physically, I am sure they all will be. Mentally, emotionally? That is for them to decide, I fear. But they are resilient men. I believe they shall recover in full. And, yes, I know what you mean. Do you think we may have to start taking an offensive approach? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Filtered to Asgard holylance 2008-06-14 09:33 am UTC (link)
	That's good. I'm sure they'll be fine. No. As much as I hate to say it, offense is not our strong point. They have more power than we do. I think it would be better to try to work out a defensive strategy. The one thing we have that they don't is a unified team, and that can make all the difference. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Filtered to Asgard blind_oracle 2008-06-14 08:52 pm UTC (link)
	I am also sure. We haven't been well with our defensive strategies. They come in singular and ruin us in plural. If we wish to do more than to hide within our home, we will need to all sit down and discuss in detail what we must do to change the tides. Heskru ed vitāgh I am tired of hiding.

	Re: Filtered to Asgard blind_oracle 2008-06-14 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	{Private to Kain} This is true. There must be a way to learn more of them as secretly as they have been us. I wonder if I can work with Alice to create a spell for such purposes. It would do us well, would it not? {End Private} (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's a great idea. Lina could probably help, as well. How do you think this magic would work? Would it be a disguise for someone to wear, or a separate entity? I don't know much of magic, so you'll have to humor me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Private to Kain/Blythe blind_oracle 2008-06-14 09:15 pm UTC (link)

	I beg your pardon! I only meant to imply that her magick is more destructive and offensive than a spying spell requires. And I have no idea. We would have to risk that, now, wouldn't we. {AN: XD omg, I don't know how you did it, but he offended her again.} (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I...I think so. I hope so. It appears Niflheim is intent on eradicating those who prove to be the strongest in our group - you, Kain, Mitch. Even Will and Henry prove to be a threat. The more they know about us, the faster they tune into our weaknesses.

I have been very well, thank you. And indeed, we haven't spoken much as of late. And you, Ryuzaki? How have you been?

That would be appreciated. It seems we must begin 'returning the favor'.

I need to thank you again for everything you did for Henry.

[Private]You said you were a burden... I hope you know better than that now... And... are you all right? If you need help with anything, please tell me. I'm... concerned for you.[/Private]

[OOC: I'm not sure if Frank is supposed to know Blythe is sick, since she's starting to feel bad in the thread they're in? I gather he isn't though he "knows when things are wrong" and might know when he saw her so I took the liberty of having ask if she's OK. Let me know if I did the wrong thing.]

I am happy to have helped and sorry that I was needed. {AN: Because, you know, she wouldn't have been needed if people weren't so badly hurt...}

{Private to Frank}
Indeed, I am...beginning to see it differently. And I am perfectly fine, Frank. Thank you. Simply concerned for the well-being of the others. I say that in earnest, so you shouldn't be concerned for me. And are you alright, Frank?
{End Private}

{AN: That's perfectly fine that he asks! =D Yeah, I made a 'sick note' mention in the thread because I don't want her to be the perfect healer person right off the bat. She needs to get stronger. And I know Frank's very empathic, intuitive. It's just she won't be honest about it. Being open and vulnerable is something she needs to develop too. So we're in good shape! ^^}

	I would never leave in a time of crisis. After all that happened to Henry, it was amazing he made it back alive. Whoever bandaged him prior to his escape may well have saved his life. {Private to Frank} I thank you, Frank, from the depths of my heart. And I will be sure to, so long as you know the same applies from me. I am glad to hear it. {End Private} (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You should be! I heard what happened, Mitch. You helped save the others, but you must beware the potential cost of your own life!

I understand. I apologize, my reaction was a bit harsh. Why is it this Sal person wanted you? Didn't he (someone said he was a she, but I have no means to confirm either) mention he'd hurt you? Or was it a random act of violence?

Yes, Henry's condition was most fatal. I never dealt with bullet wounds before. I was afraid we would lose him, despite his attempts at humor...

Nah, I totally deserved it. I dunno why he's, this, y'know fixated on me. No, didn't mention he'd (I have no idea, actually, I mean, I think of Sal as "he", but when I saw "him" I couldn't honestly tell) hurt me, just kept wantin' to meet with me, and well, I refused...

Well, at least Will got him to Asgard in time. Wouldn't want to think what could've happened otherwise...

	blind_oracle 2008-06-14 06:54 am UTC (link)
	How odd. To fixate on someone without knowing them. I think I will refer to this Sal as a female. And it was your every right to refuse her! It wasn't as though you knew her well enough to take her seriously or otherwise. You did what you thought was best. Yes, to know someone could have died is an unbearable weight in all of us right now. (Reply to this) (Parent)
