[It was only on her second day here that Bela decided to address the network at large in the hopes that she would gain more insight from others who had been around longer. After locating the antique store she now owned, she had remained there for a while and went out occasionally for food. The idea of sharing a residence was appalling to her but until she found somewhere else, Bela was mostly sticking to her store.

The feed clicks on to reveal Bela from the shoulders up, not giving away her location. She looks at ease and comfortable, even if she was still coming to grips with her new found abilities. Neat and presentable without a hair out of place. Make-up immaculate, emphasizing the green of her eyes.]

Instead of blathering on about how "wonderful" it is to be stuck in this part of America with powers and undesirable living arrangements, I'll keep it brief.

[Okay, so Bela likes the antique store but details. She means business right now.]

First thing- Is there any particular area I should avoid? I don't need a long-winded explanation, just be blunt.

Second thing - Anyone with particularly dangerous powers? I'm not looking to get myself injured or killed because let's face it, that would be a shame.

[A smirk, as Bela allows that last sentence linger for a moment or two.]

And thirdly, someone should tell me where to get a decent drink because I damn well need one.

[The feed cuts out there.]

Oh, see, they're one and the same. It's a whole thing. [She waves a hand dismissively in the video. It's a long story. And most people don't accept it.]

But I wouldn't worry about that. I say because people do for whatever reason. He's a good guy, just running a club called Fate. Well, hipster-entitled Fate, so. He had to spice it up, but you'll know the place.

Long story, yeah? [She's guessing from her dismissal that it is. Perhaps Bela will have to ask Loki himself about the story if he was inclined to share.]

Fate; not a hard name to forget. Once I have gotten my bearings, I will pay the club a visit and see what I make of it myself. Shall I tell him that you sent me?

You know what? Go right ahead. Mentioning Kate will probably get you a free drink.

And if not, you can drop me a line over these handy communicators and I can change your fate. [Hah, she had to go there.]

I'm not going to pass off the possibility of getting a free drink so thank you, Kate.[Almost like genuine gratitude coming from her.]

Oh, that was terrible. [She wrinkles her nose.] I'll be sure to keep that in mind though. The contacting you, not the godawful pun.

If you remember me by the godawful puns, you might have me right. Though I tend to keep them inside most of the time. [Most, but not all. But she's not as overeager about them, so there's that!]

But not all of the time, right? [It's not a question that requires an answer because she's certain that she already has an answer.]

Is there anything else that you think I should know? You've been quite forthcoming with information.

Well, it depends. I do have an FAQ of general stuff you'll probably see namedropped here and there.

Does it interest you?

Yes, that would definitely interest me. Even the smallest piece of information will be helpful.

Thank you.

It's not even a small piece of information. You probably don't need to worry about all of it, but it's a pretty good rundown. If you have any questions outside of it, feel free to hit me up for that, too.

[After a moment, she switches to text to send this along.]

[She doesn't respond immediately, reading through some of the text that she received.]

This is certainly thorough! I will read through it later when I'm a little more settled. [Bela hopes.] I don't think I'll have any questions for you until after I've had a proper look, but I can said you a private message, yeah?

Of course. And I'm always happy to help!

Brilliant. I'm sure we will speak again soon.

[She could play nice with the girl who was so helpful.]
