[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.

Diplomatic curiosity, yes, that is what I said. [He figures the meaning is self explanatory, because he's still not adjusted to more casual conversation.]

But if you are trying to ask for me to prove my worth, you should not do it in such a roundabout way, it is tiresome.
[No one is asking you that, Oz]

I am Ozymandias, King of Kings. However, many write of me as "Ramesses the Great," for I was in fact the greatest Pharaoh in all of Egypt's long history. I led my army in fighting back the Sherden pirates, I conquered lands as far as Syria and Nubia, defeating the Hittites soundly in the Battle of Kadesh. None could stand up to the might of my maryannu, because their strength was guided by my wise tactics.

I could, of course, recount all my battles in great detail, but I believe there are books in the library that already do so. [He says this with a dismissive wave of his hand.]

[toopolite]

[He does like to talk, doesn't he? There is only one here so far that Sif would follow in to battle without question, and that is Thor himself. She may well have to work with others in the future, and she has no qualms about that, but she also have no qualms about questioning such authority, especially if she does not agree.]

Speak as you may, but my answer remains the same. I follow only those who are worthy. Such is not granted by words alone.

[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]

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.]

[dendera]

It should be, it is a yes or no question. Or are you suggesting there may be some who you simply have not met yet?

[He's not asking for names, technically, so he's not wrong.]

[toopolite]

Few things in life are simply a yes or a no.

[And maybe, just maybe, purposefully not answering the question now.]
