un; thunderer | VIDEO

[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.

Getting caught up in a twister is nothing like entering another world, I can say that with some empirical certainty. Doing that is more like when an elevator does the drop-in-your-stomach thing.

[deathkid]

My stepmom, Persephone, once turned me into a dandelion during what she called a "family spat."

[deathkid]

[ probably quite a bit. ]

Loki...

[That certainly is an interesting request, which does make Sif wonder what it is that she is after. If it is magic, there are others who would be better at providing answers.]

I suppose that depends upon the nature of the information that you seek.

[couldkillthedevil]

I've recently discovered something about the nature of my birth. And that I can do things I didn't realize I could do. I wanted to know if anyone had more information about it.

[toopolite]

Aye. The hearts of all beings are their own, and varied as the clouds within the sky might they be. [A small shrug.] For long was Midgard left alone, but in a time of need, we Asgardians shall not cower or hide.

[toopolite]

How so?

[Although if it is tales that he is relying on, they are rather lacking.]

[toopolite]

It is apt.

[Stated matter of factly.]

Chicago is your realm?

[As she doesn't have a frame of reference for that...]

[toopolite]

The former certainly would be my preference, although help would be provided on the latter.

Do not expect me to pack your boxes though.

[deathkid]

The ones of my world aren't aliens.

[nostalgiabomb]

What?

Are you saying movies lied to me?

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He sucks in a breath between his teeth. ]

Now that's a shame. But I guess everyone's gotta have a hard limit.

And how much do you plan to charge for good deeds?

[wingedman]

Oh, right, you were at Steve's birthday party.

[Not a lot of people who look like her around. He'd wondered who she was, but hadn't introduced himself.]

So, uh, Angela isn't an Asgardian name, is it?

[wingedman]

Do they have potato salad in Asgard? Maybe I can bring it when Thor takes me to a feast.

[Look, in Sam's world, you don't visit someone without bringing food. That's just impolite.]

[wingedman]

[Haaaay girl.]

Pleased to meet you, Sif. A friend of Thor's is a friend of mine.

[godslay]

And what sort of prices do you find agreeable?

[ What's the going rate for warriors, is what she's really wondering here. ]

[godslay]

So then you work in trade?

voice; @gamora

[godslay]

Is there a reason you keep asking people for help moving?

[ Peter, are you not telling her something. ]

[nostalgiabomb]

Is there any reason you keep calling it your room?

[ TWO CAN PLAY THE NETWORK STALKING GAME. ]

[godslay]

[ WOW RUDE???? Says the pot to the teakettle. ]

Only because you were calling it your room.

[ Or so said Mantis. ]

[nostalgiabomb]

What? I did not.

It's a room. It's a room, that we were both assigned to.

[godslay]

Just a room? Or our room?

[ Like the Milano was "our" ship, right? ]

[somakemelaugh]

[None of this is familiar to him in the least.] That's nowhere I know. Your world's people were fortunate, to have people like you looking over them. What sort of time of need called you down anyway? Are we talking about skinned knees or meeting your maker or that bloody end of the world everyone keeps scaring each other with?

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Excuse you, the Milano was his ship. Which goes to show just how easily he'll claim ownership over his things. ]

A room. That we're sharing.

[ Because calling it "our room" has some weird, fiddly implications, and they still have yet to broach that particular topic. A public network isn't the place to do it. ]

[godslay]

[ Gamora clearly doesn't see why there would be implications because if it's a mutually shared room, that should be an "our." That makes perfect sense.

And considering she and the others had lived on the Milano, that makes it an "our" ship.

Definitely still going to refer to it that way.

Which is why: ]

If it is not your room and not my room, but something that we share, that should make it our room, should it not? Unless you plan on leaving it at some point in the near future.

[ Obviously, that's how this works. ]
