un; thunderer | VIDEO

[worldsaway]

[When Thor switches the camera on, it's momentarily engulfed by his face before he sits himself back. Now that the frame isn't obscured, it's apparent that he's not the only one there. Both Lokis, Angela and Sif sit either side of him, all situated around a booth at some sort of diner.

Thor, naturally, is the first to start talking.]

It has come to light in one way or another that we could be considered Gods. [He's keeping it vague on purpose.] It is true, in a sense, that we are are not unlike higher beings. We are not mortals and we have powers and abilities beyond what many would be considered normal. The myths and the legends, however, are not precisely true.

[He just wanted to clear that up.] As such, we thought it would be prudent to offer our services in times of need. For missions or protections, we can be of use in many situations. You need only ask.

[He says we, but he largely means I.

Angela, for her part, doesn't look as opposed to the idea as she probably could.]

I will add that I will require payment for my services, but that can be negotiated at a later time.

[ She glances around the table at her siblings as if daring them to counter her.

The younger Loki leans into shot, finger raised. ]

Should you require an actual god, we come in that flavour too.

Comments

[dendera]

[He is very good and experience as far as talking about himself goes, yes. Regardless, he does seem mildly irritated by her answer.]

Then I would ask, are there such "worthy" individuals present here? Given our situation in this place, I would assume such would not be guaranteed.

[toopolite]

I'm a warrior. Whatever may arise and I am sent to deal with. Otherwise, I protect Asgard from any threats.

[scholiast]

How heroic.

... Is it threatened often? (Hopefully not!)

[toopolite]

Such is not a question that can simple be answered on the spot.

[Although she would always follow Thor. It doesn't mean that she wouldn't follow others. It just meant that she had only met a few people and had only been able to start to form an opinion.]

[toopolite]

Now and then, although for the longest of times, the threats were relatively minor.

[scholiast]

That's good to hear.

How... uh, out of curiousity, how would a large scale threat be handled? Does your plane have sufficient defenses for that kind of thing?

[toopolite]

It depends upon what the attack is.

[Given recent events...]

But our realm does not always stand alone.

[scholiast]

(How does she keep asking questions here without directing alluding to the thing she's thinking about? Hmmm.)

Well, it– I mean, if you were cut off... from other places entirely, would you be able to survive on your own merits?

[toopolite]

Aye. We do have technology that we can use, and there are many warriors upon Asgard.

[Although they might still take a beating...]

[scholiast]

(Lucretia is unconvinced, but relents.)

Alright. Well, that's good to know. Is Asgard the only place you protect?

[private]

[hevenly]

Then I do not have the answers you seek. If your parents were normal humans, and you are not, then your differences must be some sort of mutation, or something that is unheard of in my universe.

[hevenly]

I am the Odinson's older half-sister, by blood. We were not raised together, but we are family.

I have no "fancy god-title," as I make no claims of divinity.

[hevenly]

I have fond memories of Heven. Mixed with not as fond memories. Such as one would have with any place.

I suppose that is one word for it.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ That— is actually a bit of a relief to hear, and Peter relaxes a little.

He's had bad experiences with people who call themselves gods, lately. ]

So. Just "Angela," then? Like Cher or Madonna?

[hevenly]

[ Angela does not know who Cher or Madonna are. Coming from Quill, however, she assumes they are like the Belinda Carlisle woman he kept mentioning in reference to Heven being a "place on Earth." ]

I have another name, the name I was born with. But I go by Angela.

[toopolite]

I am of Asgard, but aye, the protection does go beyond that.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Well, she doesn't volunteer the other name, which leads Peter to believe it's something weird, like Gertrude or Hortense. ]

Angela it is, then.

And if I ever need a hand from your guys' Asgardian A-Team, what kinda price are we lookin' at, here?

[scholiast]

That's very good of you.

(Lucretia loves asking questions, but she does have enough awareness to try and cap her curiousity.) Look I– you've been kind, to answer all of this but I should probably let you go.

[toopolite]

[Her smile does come, easily enough. It is clear that she is not the sort of person to hold back, and had she truly had any issues, she would have made them known.]

Think nothing of it. It is not as if you asked for the weaknesses in our defences. I may well have taken offense to that line of questioning. Yet, if you do have more, you need only ask after me.

[scholiast]

That definitely would have set off a couple alarm bells, huh.

(She chuckles.)

Thank you... (and trails off. Oops, she doesn't even know this woman's name.)

[toopolite]

[A light chuckle was given.]

Aye. It would have indeed, although it seems that unless you are of my galaxy, there is little that you could do with that information. Yet, it shall still be kept close.

[And right. Thor, in his eagerness, never did introduce them all, nor did she give her name before he posted.]

The Lady Sif, of Asgard quite obviously.

[scholiast]

The Lady Sif, (she echoes; the name makes her smile. It seems quite regal, to her.)

Hail and well met. My name is Lucretia, of the Starblaster. (She's kidding about that last part, she just wanted to play along.)

[toopolite]

To you, as well, Lucretia of the Starblaster.

[Because Sif will call her that...]

[hevenly]

[ Angela's tone turns bitter and slightly pained. ]

I am not, though I was raised among them.

[hevenly]

Very well, that sounds amenable.
