"I'm alright, thank you for asking. How are you holding up?" Lara looked up at Astrid as she came over and spoke to them. She did notice Runa's reaction to the Valkyrie joining them and raised a brow at that. She had to wonder if that meant that Runa had a bit of a crush on Astrid, but she wasn't going to comment on it too much for the moment. Though having a crush on the living was risky, especially since there wasn't a guarantee they would end up here, in Valhalla. She was too painfully aware of that. She had spent so much time in vain looking for Levi, even when she was sure he would never end up there. He was a scholar, and couldn't hurt a fly. Honestly, she just hoped that he had lived a lovely long life without her.

"Honestly? I could be doing better, but at least Baldur said we Valkyries can work in shifts, so I can still go home when I'm not on duty. I'm worried. The Thanes look disturbed and some of the older Einherjar look concerned. Some are saying nothing like this has happened before." Astrid moved to slip in with the rest of the group and sit next to them. She stole a roll off the table and started tugging it apart, needing to do something with her hands. She was sure that she was not the only one that needed to burn off nervous energy, especially with the option of killing one another in training off the table.

"That is what I'm gathering... I asked Arnora earlier and she said she had never seen or heard of anything like this before." Lara sighed a bit as she started poking at the food she had abandoned again, just to have anything else to focus on for the moment than the situation they were in. Maybe once they were safely in their little groups she could pull out one of her puzzle books as well as maybe a few pulp novels she was thinking of rereading. That would help take her mind off of everything for a bit, but she would only do it once she was somewhere safer.

"So do you have a plan for keeping an eye on one another until the whole lack of resurrection has been solved? Astrid was curious to know if any of the Einherjar had started thinking of ways to keep safe. She knew for some of them it wouldn't be easy to stop the whole fighting one another thing. If Astrid was being honest with herself, she had the sinking feeling that there would be a few more Einherjar lost to fighting before anything was solved. It might be some of the older ones, some of the ones that just were lost to the cycle of the Hotel.

Stella was pretty thankful that at all three of her guides had immediately volunteered to help her learn how to use a knife, as well as how to fight. She couldn't help but smile a bit brighter at that point as she could feel nothing but support from this new demi-god family she had found and was now a part of. "Thank you all, so much. I will probably take all of you up on the offer later. I do have my own knife so I don't need to borrow one, right? I do think mine will work, it looked the same color of the other weapons around here." She smiled a bit at that as she could tell something about the knife metal was different and important when dealing with monsters.

"If I did want to use my powers in a fight would here be the place to do so, or is there somewhere else we can do power training?" Stella was not sure that it would be a good idea for her to start growing plants in the arena, as it seemed that everyone would be using that area. "So what can you show me next? I don't want to take too long here, as I still want to take a shower before dinner at least, even if I don't get one before lunch." She did giggle a bit at that as she looked at Kristin as she still seemed to be leading the group.

"We can discuss groups after our meal if you'd like, but yes, More protection is better, and well, each of us have different skills. I just... worry about this. This is... has this ever happened since you've been here, Arnora?" Arnora and Klara were two of the people she knew off the top of her head that had been at the Hotel the longest. There were others that had been there far longer, but their names were escaping her memory at the moment.

"It might also be a good idea to maybe have sleep overs for a bit? I don't know if that's a good suggestion, but it is something that might help. I mean... I know there is safety in numbers no matter where you go." Lara sighed a bit as she decided she had fully lost her appetite at that point. The food that she had put on her plate were no longer appealing, so she was just going to push it to the side. She did try to drink some water, as she needed to put something into her body. She did have some food in her room if she really needed it later.

"I know you'd probably want to check on Dalisy, and I promise that if... if she behaves I can probably be in a group with her." She knew that while she and Dalisy would never be friends in any sense of the word that Dalisy trusted Arnora and was friends with her.

"Thank you Lord Baldur. I was not sure that I could get away with being away from the mortal world for so long." Astrid let out a sigh of relief at that point as she bowed before those at the Thanes table and stepped away. While the hotel was on lock down she wasn't as locked up as the others. She would inform the head Valkyrie of what Lord Baldur had to say, and that she would keep coming on and off shift for the foreseeable future.

With that weight off her chest, she picked up the pitcher of mead that was hers and she went back to serving up the einherjar at that point. She did stop when she came over to the group consisting of Lara, Arnora, Runa, and Nadia. "How are you guys doing?" She could tell that at least Lara looked worried, having recognized that look from out when they were in Neflheim. She couldn't really tell with the others, as she didn't know them as well, but she was going to check up on them in that moment.

Stella was super excited when Kristin told her that she could get right into the field after she was settled in. Yes, so many things were scary to her, but being right back in the dirt felt natural. Her whole life she had spent in one greenhouse or another it seemed, either at the school or at home. She knew that her fathers would love to see the strawberry field, even if she knew that they couldn't enter the camp. That had become clear to her when she had heard about only three adults at that point, or at least she thought she had seen three adults. The gods were considered adults right? Two gods, and one centaur.

She did take a handful of strawberries that looked just perfect at that point, and she gently bundled them into her hand. She took a bite of one and it was... divine. There was truly no other word for it. She did wave good bye to the campers and Satrys as they walked off to the arena.

She did affirm to Marygold that once she was settled she'd love to come back to the fields, letting her know she was listening even if she had stopped speaking for the moment. She looked around the arena a bit at that point and paused. "Learning to fight might not be a bad idea, since I would rather not repeat what happened on the way in here. Though thankfully it turns out my big half sister was able to help me out." Stella nearly beamed as she looked at Marygold as she said that. "Also I do want to learn how to use the knife I got. Is knife fighting a technique we can learn here?"

Lara smiled and blushed a little when Amora waved her over and she sat down next to her. "Hey Arnora, hey Runa, hey Nadia. So any of you have any idea of what's going on today?" She slid in close and then sighed a bit as she went to get herself some food, but she wasn't feeling very hungry. She took a danish and gently prodded at it with her fork at that point. She wasn't feeling too well about all the news, and everything that was happened. Even when someone offered her mead she passed at that point. She didn't feeling like drinking and celebrating at the moment.

She looked up as Baldur spoke, and frowned at that. She had known that something was wrong, but she didn't imagine that it was this bad. No one was coming back, and it seemed that everything violent would be put on hold. She sighed a bit at that point as she poked more and more at the danish, feeling herself getting sicker at every word. There had to be something really wrong for the hotel not to work the way it was meant to. "So, um... maybe it might be a good idea to stick together into groups for a bit then? Just in case?"

Astrid frowned as she heard that Helgi was dead, and not only that but other Einherjar were not resurrecting at the end of the day as they should be. She did look up as Baldur spoke and informed them of what was going on. So that was why she had been summoned, to help keep the peace at the hotel and keep everyone from killing one another. She mentally sighed at that as she went to serve up another Einherjar that had summoned her over. She poured the mug full of mead before moving on and wandering over to the Thane's table.

"Excuse me, Hi there, um I don't really ant to bother you but I did wish to ask how long abouts do you think you'll need the Valkyries here to keep the peace? I'm only asking because I do have a life still... outside of the hotel." She didn't want to sound like she was complaining, but she couldn't just hold up in the hotel for weeks, or even months as it would take for them to figure out what was going on. They didn't even know what the main issue was, or what had caused it. She did over hear that some people were considering maybe hunting down the suspicious person themselves, and she was wondering if that might be a good plan.

"Okay, I'll see you later Eve, thank you so much!" Stella smiled as she gently waved to her older half-sister as she watched her head out. She then smiled a bit as Kristin and the others went to head to the strawberry fields. She did make sure that her things were tucked away aside from the few things she had tucked into her pockets. She happily followed the older kids out to the fields, and when she saw them she brightened up considerably. The sight and smell of fresh strawberries during the dead of winter made her perk up and she almost ran ahead at that point.

She saw all the people there, the satyrs and other campers and was informed that many of those kids out there working were most likely her siblings as well. She couldn't believe it! She had gone from knowing that she had one half-sibling to quite a few. She was nearly vibrating by that point as she wanted to take off into the fields and dig her hands right into the dirt at that point. Forget the shower! She wanted to get right in there, back with the plants.

"Oh! I'm overwhelmed! But in the best way! How can I work in the fields like all the time? I mean I'll do other things too, but I just... those strawberries look beautiful! Ohhhh please tell me I can start working in them soon?" She looked up at the older campers, looking about ready to burst out of her own skin.

Stella was feeling a bit overwhelmed by everything that was going on, but it was in the best way. They were saying they could go to the strawberry field after she dropped off all her stuff, and she was thrilled at that. Even more so when she walked into the Demeter Cabin. The carpet looked and smelled like grass, and the whole thing was supported by one big tree in the middle of the cabin. She let out a happy squeak as she dashed in and looked around. She wanted to kick off her shoes and just run around the cabin and let herself absorb all the plants that were there.

"Sorry! I um... just got really excited." She finally spoke when she realized that Eva, the head counselor of her new cabin spoke to her. She followed her to the empty bunk and then she gently tugged open the trunk at the end of the bed. She went to fish two things out of her bag, both of which had been gifts to her from her mother she had been told. She tucked the seed packet into her pocket as well as the dagger. She strapped that to her waist and then tugged her shirt back over it. She then tossed her bag into the trunk and then closed it with a small click.

"Alright thank you so much! Can we see the Strawberry fields now?" She grinned happily at that and then giggled a bit. She did also want a shower, but the field was almost calling to her. She knew it wasn't truly calling to her, but it almost felt like that some days.

Astrid was worried when she had received the summons to head to Hotel Valhalla so suddenly, and not just from Lord Odin. So she had gathered up her bag, come up with some excuse as to why she'd be busy for the day and headed down the way to the hotel. She opened the door, and then headed inside and felt the familiar smells of the Feast Hall of the Slain slink up her nose and fill her with those familiar smells. This was her home, and she knew that deep in her bones, more so than anything else in the world. However, she did notice the air was not one of the usual festivities, that there was some kind of gloom in the air.

She went to sit with the other Valkyries, and leaned over to whisper to one of her fellow Valkyries. "So, do any of you know what is going on? I know that this is a big deal... especially considering whom I'm seeing over at the big table." She noticed that Baldur was still at the hotel, which did worry her. She wasn't sure what to do aside from wait, and pray that it was nothing too major that was going on. However, she was soon too distracted by being told to go serve the fallen, and soon she was out dispensing mead and food among the fallen.

Lara was worried, as given that everyone was worried as well. Helgi had been murdered, and then all the other Einherjar that had died in the battles and other things hadn't come back either. That was what was worrying more than anything else in the whole hotel, since it meant that no one could go around killing one another willie nillie. All war games, training, and just even the general fighting was off the table at that point. She sighed as she tugged on her skirt and smoothed it out, as well as the blouse that she had picked out for the day. Since there was no training, she figured she could wear what she usually did.

She got into the elevator, which was crowded at that point. Everyone was flooding into the hall, to hear what the Thanes and Gods had to say about what was going on. She spotted Baldur at the table, but it wasn't hard to. He was always so bright. When she noticed him she looked around the room, hoping to spot Runa. In the last few months she had gotten to know the girl and they had become quite friendly. They did one another's hair, and chatted about tulips. It was also pretty nice to have someone that also appreciate those flowers with her. She did wave to anyone else she noticed as she went to go sit down anywhere she could.

Astrid quickly told her mount to take off once all thee of them were astride him. She picked up the reigns and gave a click of her mouth, and her faithful steed took off into the air, and she urged him on as fast as he could go with the three of them. Thankfully it seemed that it was going to be a peaceful trip back to the Hotel, which was a kindness after everything they had gone through. She could tell that the blonde, Lara, was thankful that they were no longer on the boat or near the water. That woman had seemed to be quite fearful of it. Maybe she had drowned?

Lara was indeed thankful that they were no longer near the deep water that she feared so much. The sooner they were out of Niflheim, the better. She was holding onto whomever she could at that point, closing her eyes a bit as they flew. It was not really a sensation she was use to as well, but it was better than being near that water. So dark, so deep.

Astrid landed her horse at that point and then dismounted. She gently stroked his side and mane and then looked at him softly. "You did very well today boy, you can go to wherever you may go and enjoy a treat. I will see you again soon, I am sure. Thank you again." She stroked his mane until both Lara and Arnora dismounted, and once they did, he took off into the sky. She really had no idea where he went when he wasn't there with her. She sighed a bit and then looked to the other two. "I should report in to the other Valkyries and Lord Odin. Thank you again for all your assistance." She nodded her head at them both and then took off.

Lara nodded in thanks to Astrid and then looked at Arnora at that point, and then to the others. "So, how was your quest? Ours was a bit... of a mess." She sighed at that as she was sure that the others could clearly see that Elizabeth was no longer with them. It did seem that the other three had come back with... wait that had to be him. Who else could be shining so brightly in their Hotel, and he was whom the others had been tasked with getting. "Seem yours went well."

"Cabin 4 then, that's mom's cabin? Cool. I can't wait to see it and the other cabins! Everything here is going to be exciting and new!" Stella tugged on the straps of her backpack at that point as she dusted herself off. She was pretty sure she hadn't spilled crumbs all over herself, but with good sourdough toast once could never be too sure. She did smile when Jason said they would be joining them on the tour. So she would have three older campers there with her, taking her on their tour of the camp. She was so sure that everything would go well on the tour.

As they headed towards the cabins, she caught sight and smell off the strawberry fields. They smelled delicious, and she couldn't wait to get out and help with then. She knew that she was going to have a fun time helping with those. She looked over at her cabin and nearly squealed in delight. It was a beautiful building, with greenhouse roof and gardens on it. She already felt like she was halfway home at that point, and her grin only got brighter at that.

"That is so cool! I can drop my things off inside you said? Where can I put them? Any free bunk or are bunks and sleeping places assigned?" While she was waiting for the answer to that question she looked over to the tents and nodded. So that was where that Roman girl that had been a bit rude to Marygold earlier would be. She had a feeling she wouldn't want to head over there that often, to be honest.
