Aw, I'm supposed to know who this is? Sounds like a lot of work. Bedard? Beden? Bed? Nah, no one would be named Bed.

That's right. It's Baldr. Hey there, Baldr, I'd like a chat with you.

Really not winning any points with me buddy. So, make it quick.

[Wounding Baldr's pride? Good way to get a rise out of him, but he was kind of a petulant brat too, so...]

Sorry. I like to lighten the atmosphere before I get to work. And I am working, see?

I'd like to know what Baldr finds important. I'm asking everyone, so each and every response counts. Just so we're clear.

You're here to bring color. That means you go around and bring life to the city. It isn't rocket science. Get it done, don't be a moron and cut the whining, and we'll get on just fine.

I'll do just fine.

Does chatting with you guys do the trick?

... You're going to do a lot better trolling with the others of your kind.

That's too bad. I kinda liked being buddies with deities. Guess I'll just have to miss home all the more. There, it meant something.

Yeaaaah, you want buddy buddy, go buy Thor a drink. He's the one that actually likes talking to you people.

Us people who are saving your asses. Isn't that right?

Saving your own. Without this, your worlds will cease to exist.

Way to kill the mutuality of it. So if we don't help, what happens to the gods?

Think of it as mutually assure destruction. Yes, we have a vested interest in you helping, but you've got as much or more to lose.

Why more?

All of your worlds are at risk. Any people you come to care for here are as much in danger as your own.

And your world's at risk, too. Unless I'm misunderstanding. I'd rather see us all on the same level.

You'll never be on our level, mortal. Try as you might, you'll never reach the stars.

Deities, man. Always good for a laugh.

Always happy to entertain, but I think we're done here.

I thought so. Catch you later.

I should hope that you feel like getting back to me. After all I am one of the most powerful in your house.

Anyway. I've something I'd like to discuss with you.

Let's not get too cocky for your own good, buddy. [Have a little snort and a laugh.]

What is it?

Would you like to prove me wrong?

If I wanted to ask you about your limits in the city of Asgard, would I get a straight answer?

There really aren't any, Draco. We're gods after all. [He gave him a prideful smirk.] But if there were any, I think you know I wouldn't be sharing them. I like you, but not that much.

[Ugh. He has to be a little smarter about this...but he might have a plan.] ...why not? Loki seemed fairly willing to share a bit of information with me.

Yeah, well I'm not Loki. Why don't you ask me the question, instead of the vague half questions. We'll see if I feel like answering it.

All right. If you can use your powers outside of the city, what's really stopping any one of us from leaving this world and returning to our own with the knowledge we've gained here?

...

For the same reason that you can't use your powers here. The smallest thing of this world is like waltzing into yours would fry your little minds.

[Ok, honestly? He's got no damned clue. This was the sort of thing Hel thought about. But he's not going to tell you that.]

But wouldn't you agree that absolutely everything has a loophole?

Everything...

Yeah, I'll level with you that much. There's usually a loophole to almost anything you could try. You lot have been pulling things with those runes I never expected for one. I'm not the one to ask about loopholes though.

You really want that sort of thing, talk to Loki. Either of them.

I've already been speaking to him about an entirely different matter.

Let me ask you something else. Just how much control do you have over the ones in your own house?

The same kind of control you use a cattle prod on a cow to get. Sometimes it's more effective on some than others. Replace cattle prod with curses. If you mean on who comes and goes? I like you, so I'll pretty much tell you.

We've got some, but it's more out of our hands than we'd like, and that's getting worse.

[He's not sure Baldr will remember him but Jamie will go with video anyway.]

Hello, Mr. Baldr. I know that Asgard doesn't celebrate Christmas or if you guys celebrate other traveler winter holidays so the Guardians and I were going to put together our own celebration. But I have a couple of questions.

Even though Santa doesn't have his workshop we want to give everyone a gift but we can't do it on our own. So I was wondering if you and the other gods could help? Also, is there a place we can get Christmas trees?

Of all the...

[Wait. Stupid celebrations of festivals for these travelers meant color. Lots of color. Cool your tits, Baldr. Dad did say you should help these morons do their moronic ...]

Sure, why the hell not? We already do little things like that now and again for some of our little offerings to brighten your lives. Whyyyyy not.

As for trees... you know what? why don't you ask Sigyn about helping out there. Plants are more her thing.

[They are going to color the crap out of the city and then they're going to light it up! Jamie beams at the answer.]

Really? Thanks so much! I'll ask her.

[You know, he's probably going to chip in to help on decorations. The city hasn't looked legitimately ... pretty for a long time.]

If you guys are doing this, see if you can't snag some of my dad's travelers. I haven't seen a proper ice sculpture in a while.

[Yes, help them decorate the city! Jamie will welcome him.]

I'd do it myself if my powers were stronger. Do you guys have a winter holiday that you celebrate?

There is a winter festival of sorts, though I expect the locals will like a chance to see you do this.

Well we're not just going to celebrate Christmas. We're going to do as many as we can because this place has so many people from different places.

Well, the kids like to leave boots out by the hearths on the coldest, darkest days of the year to remember the beginning and end of seasons in the cold of the night, filling them with hay or sugar for my father's journeys or task to bring back hope to the new year. You might also make sure the horses in the stable get a sugar cube or two. My dad would actually like that.

Oh, that's kind of like the story I heard from someone else. Except in that one Odin brings gifts. [Grins.] Consider it done!

It's something of the same story, I suppose. Close either way. You keep your nose clean now, you hear?

Similarities between worlds. [He nods.] I will. Thanks!

[Left on the shrine is a Christmas gift. A plant with a homemade pot.]

Hello Mr. Baldr,

I'm contacting you because I was wondering if you were amiable to the idea of a council between the gods and the travellers. I'm contacting all the gods first because it would be quite rude to just open the idea if none of the gods are willing. I know right now many of the gods aren't very... fond of the travellers.

I'll leave this decision to the All Father. He'll get in touch with you if he thinks it's good. Personally, I wouldn't hold my breath.

I've asked him, sir. Like I said, I'm asking all the gods. He's the first I went to and I just haven't yet gotten an answer.
