[Utgard Expedition | THE MINGLE LOG]

Who: Anyone taking part in the Utgard Expedition!
What:Travelling to and Shopping for Supplies in Utgard (using godly credit!!) and then travelling back.
When: Day 184-5
Where: From Asgard to Utgard to Asgard and everything in between.
Rating: Extreme Shopping.

[The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

The journey to Utgard starts with a very early start the morning of Day 184, a roll-call at the Gate of Fog involving a seven-year-old with a clipboard and also involves a knight with a shiny crown organizing people into carts. Fun times.

When Utgard is finally arrived at there is much to enjoy -- the big city lights, the big city sounds. There are cars, subways, an internet -- even people who aren't grey! There is no end to the excitement, although there is lots to be done by way of shopping.

Day 185 gets off to a more leisurely start, the Travellers having accomplished most of their shopping the previous day. The citizens volunteer to load purchases into the carts while the Travellers look around a little before heading back to Asgard.

With so much to see and do in the City, why not look around, take in the sights, even -- mingle a little?]

((ooc: Totally open mingle log for characters taking part in the Utgard expedition! Run wild, run free -- but keep in mind the godly credit only extends to supplies for the city. No getting your hair did with Odin's dough.))

[ Here is one (1) bright-eyed sort of polite shounen jesustagonist accompanying you this trip as a guard and general sort of compulsively helpful person. Possibly while --

A) On the trip there. He'd shown up uniformed (his own) to volunteer as a guard, though he doesn't seem to have any sort of visible weapon with him. He does have an alert, serious sort of manner about him, if lighthearted.

B) Goggling just a little at the sights of the city and getting acquainted. This is all well over a century ahead of him (sort of maybe). Be forewarned, he's probably going to become absolutely smitten with the first street food vendors he happens across.

or C) If you at all need help with anything (and are a decent sort of person) or a general sort of pack mule, he's probably either volunteered or been rather easily topped into helping out. Poor child.

At any point he's accompanied by a gold flying creature he refers to (and seem to chide and talk with from time to time) as Timcanpy, who stays rather close to him. As well as the fact that he seems to generally be shadowed by this dour gentleman. But he's getting better at cheerfully ditching him. ]

[ His back is killing him.

But he's keeping up a cheery front. He is happy to help out, after all. Just don't mind if you can't see his face very well behind the various and sundry packages he's balancing. (But he can balance a lot of them rather uncannily well for someone on the slight side.) ]


Ah? Is it? [ Praise be. ]

[ One would understand when people are so attracted by new things... and Hanako especially, since he told her that he's from a couple centuries back. Nonetheless, she feels a little weirded out when he sees him so attracted by those vendors, and reclutantly approaches. ]

Er, Allen-san, is everything alright?

[ Everything is wonderful. He's discovered still more delicious things on a stick. His favorite food was already such.

But mostly because it seems he's found -- he's finally found -- a dango cart. And he pauses a little when he hears his name called. ]
Miss Ikezawa --

Mm! [ He's going to smile and wave her over now. Quite brightly. Does he have three sticks of mitarashi dango (or something close enough) in hand? Yes, yes he does. Which his golem seems to be buzzing over. ]

[ She stops short at the notice of the golem buzzing around. Even if she knows it's harmless, she's still kinda wary of it. ]

You look very excited... it's because this is a modern city, isn't it?

Castle wants to know why the heck they don't all live in Utgard. Seriously. There are cars. There is internet. Where has this place been hiding?? He stands in the lobby of the hotel that they're staying at and looks out at the beautiful city view from the large front window. It's reminiscent of New York, which stirs a painful longing in his chest. The bright lights seem to beckon to him.

They make him want to go out and play.

[personal profile] writeswrongs 2012-12-06 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm wondering why I don't live here."

Legitimate question, Conan. Castle could get very used to this. It was similar to home, though nothing could compare with NYC.

Spencer is a chameleon when it comes to habitat. Living in Las Vegas and DC, he's gotten used to the lifestyle of a large city. It's manageable to him. But deep down, he prefers the quiet. Simple. Without extremely advanced technology or internet. Just a few books and some coffee and he's happy. Both Asgard and Utgard seem to have their merits, but he won't mind going back at the end of the day.

Currently he's walking around with a shopping cart, determining the prices of different things and trying to get the most for the money he's been allotted. You'll see him moving his hands in front of him and speaking softly to himself, calculating prices quickly in his brain. He looks odd, but he also doesn't need a calculator. Spencer is a calculator.

Kaworu Nagisa (Tabris)

[personal profile] 5thchild 2012-12-06 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's the first time Kaworu leaves Asgard, and he is very eager to see it. Just see it. He doesn't care for shopping, actually, because he doesn't have much he wants to buy and he doesn't have money. Per usual, he is always smiling, kind and gently. You may come talk to him, he would love to!

A) On the way to Utgard, (POSSIBLY STRAYING AWAY FROM THE REST OF THE GROUP) watching his surroundings, as if he is trying to learn them by heart. Analyze them. Study them.

B) Over the city, strolling through the streets, watching the people and the shops. He stops in front of a music store, eying a violin.

C) Getting lost on the subway - aka, entering it and just driving off to the next random stop. Kaworu actually has a good sense of direction, so he won' be lost per say. ]

[ Hanako is, for a lack of a better term, flabbergasted by the flashy view in front of her. Utgard is unlike anything she saw about this world. To make a comparison, it's very much similar to Tokyo city. Not that she's ever been there before, but she'd seen photos and videos on TV, and seeing all this reminded her of her home country and the atmosphere of those modern cities. It's quite the surprise to see cars again, after such a long time.

When she gets over the initial shock, Hanako can be seen doing these things:

A) Contributing to the shopping spree, passing through building after building to buy whatever is necessary for the city. The few things that interest her and she decides to buy for herself - merely clothes and few objects that are enough to carry in a bag - she'll purchase with her own money. From time to time, she has to stop and look at the list of things she wrote down for easier memory. Company is not necessary, but appreciated.

B) Taking a casual stroll through the park, and generally sightseeing everything that catches her interest. It feels like home, somehow... and surely it puts her spirits up after what they've all passed through. You could even have the luck of seeing her actually smile if you happen to see her around. ]

[Mariko is a Tokyo resident and quite familiar with the city itself, or at least some of its areas. She's happy to see that Utgard's not that different from the place she called home until coming to Asgard; so she can't help going here and there, laughing like she hasn't done in a while.]

Ikezawa-san, this is so nice! [She looks up at the sky and smiles happily.] So different of what we've seen, and it reminds me of home.
burntviolet: (I'd like to find you)

[personal profile] burntviolet 2012-12-10 11:34 am (UTC)(link)
It's really nice indeed. I can't believe this place is so similar to our world... [ Her smile weakens a bit, but she appreciates the other girl's eagerness. She understands that quite perfectly. ]
redpaintednails: (That's nice!)

[personal profile] redpaintednails 2012-12-16 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Mariko nods as she takes a closer look to the shop window.] I don't think I've asked you where city are you from, though... Are you from Tokyo too? Or from another prefecture?

Day 184 // OTA

[personal profile] multifacets 2012-12-10 10:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Even to someone who's lived in the city for a while, Utgard is pretty astonishing. Maybe it's the shock of seeing all the modern technology available in the city after months of going without them in Asgard.

She stops in front of a store window, peering at the wares on display there.]


Whoa! [She exclaims, mostly to herself.] They weren't kidding about having laptops here!
multifacets: (The what in the huh?)

[personal profile] multifacets 2012-12-31 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmmm a little. [She does miss having a laptop.]

No point buying it here if it's not going to work back in Asgard, right, Bossu?
burntviolet: (But somehow I want more)

[personal profile] burntviolet 2012-12-10 11:31 am (UTC)(link)
... I know. Everything looks like our world, doesn't it?

[ Hanako will timidly comment, standing there just by chance. ]
multifacets: (Oh yeah. I totally knew that.)

[personal profile] multifacets 2012-12-31 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[No timidness allowed! Rise swings around, smiling.]

Just like it. There's even people driving here. I didn't think I'd miss the sound of cars so much.

They look so nice, don't they? Almost like at home.

I wish I could take one of these back with me, but they won't even work in the city. Bummer, huh?

[Roxy had come to help out people gather supplies or just generally <>help them with whatever, but honestly she had only come because she was curious about the city after chat with Loki.

She's joked about ditching Asgard to move here instead but it wasn't so much of a joke anymore- there were normal buildings and cars and the internet... Oh my god she had a hell of a lot of site seeing and shopping to cram into this short amount of time.]
