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.

[ oh hey doesn't this kid live with him or something? ]

and you know this... how?

[deathkid]

[ fifth floor roomies? ]

Because I've met them. Jason is a good friend and Zeus is my uncle. He argues with Father all the time.

[striketwice]

[ there is a bit of a pause before his next text ]

i'm missing some very important context here

zeus, literal zeus with the thunderbolts and all that, is your uncle?
and that makes your dad who now?

[deathkid]

Hades, God of the Underworld. I'm a demigod.

[striketwice]

no shit?

this place is so weird

[deathkid]

Yeah, it is. But I could tell you some stranger stories.

[ and this is where he'd be side-eyeing loki for claiming to be a child of zeus. ]

[striketwice]

well, you've got me curious

fire away

[deathkid]

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

[striketwice]

oh my god

that's just
oh my god

[ whatever the text may imply, he finds that hilarious. mildly terrifying, sure, but also extremely fucking funny. sorry kid ]

[deathkid]

gods, tell me about it.
and then, when i was in venice
(where i was born)
the god of agriculture turned me into a stalk of corn

i'm pretty sure the gods of plants hate me

[striketwice]

what the fuck did you even DO?

[deathkid]

exist.
persephone isn't too happy that father strayed
if you know what i mean

[striketwice]

you can say that he banged another woman, i'm not a wilting flower over here

sucks tho
i guess being a demigod isn't all it's cracked up to be huh?

[deathkid]

yeah pretty much

and tell me about it.
i haven't even mentioned how much monsters like to EAT demigods

[striketwice]

what are you like extra crunchy and delicious or something?

[deathkid]

i think it's because we're powerful
like extra salt or seasoning or something.

[striketwice]

so yes on the delicious, a maybe on the crunchy

i gotta ask where you hang out that there are just monsters running around

[deathkid]

someplace neither mortals nor monsters can find us
it's kind of a secret.

[striketwice]

okay but if the monsters can't find you there why do you keep talking about them? where are they?

[deathkid]

outside of camp.
the gods often send us on quests so we end up
having to fight what gets in our way

[striketwice]

so basically
it sucks to be you

[deathkid]

yep.
