Video; thunderer [Thor 3 Spoilers]

[worldsaway]

[You can tell from the moment Thor's face appears on camera, he's been through hell and back. His hair is almost entirely buzzed down, save for the tufts on top, with markings shaved into the sides. His eye is covered by a black patch, indicating an injury that he isn't happy to talk about.]

I've made some changes. [Bluntly, as if he consented to any of this.]

What else.. Some things have happened at home that may be of interest to some of you. [He hums, considering.] Odin is dead. I have another sister? Her name is Hela. Mjolnir is destroyed. Banner is alive. [He feels a little guilty revealing that one, but he thinks someone deserves to know.] I fought the Hulk. I won. I met a real, live Valkyrie- And Asgard is.. [A people, not a place, but..] The realm has been destroyed. My people are seeking refuge, I suppose I understand now what displacement feels like.

I have the remains of Asgard in a ship, floating through space. If a portal could open for them, that would be extremely useful to me right now. I'm a king with no land or people, now. Very poetic. [Does he seem terse? He's kind of tense.


And then Loki comes barging in, looking very much the same and carrying a large parchment. He glances at the recording with a frown. He places the map of Earth on the wall, pinning it with a single dagger.]

Must you reveal everything? Put that away, I have work for you.

Comments

[anotheroldsoldier]

Wasn't mine, it was Thor's. My Earth's Thor. I probably wouldn't have decided on a floating chunk of Oklahoma.

[It was kind of showy. But he'd thought it might help this Thor to have a vague idea of what his other self did once upon a time.]

[dothelokimotion]

Neither would I, but it is not my decision to make.

[anotheroldsoldier]

Whatever he decides will probably work out.

[dothelokimotion]

Tell him that.

Repeatedly.

[anotheroldsoldier]

He already knows I think well of him. I don't think my opinion is one that'll make much difference in the long run.

[dothelokimotion]

Even so. He needs it right now.

[anotheroldsoldier]

I'm sure he's getting it. He's got a lot of friends.

[Not that Bucky won't say it too, he just doesn't think he's one of Thor's inner circle.]

[dothelokimotion]

And his world is dead.

A large number of friends is not going to fill it. Whatever you feel your contribution might be or amount to, is that what is important right now?

[anotheroldsoldier]

I never said he didn't have my support. You're quick to criticize.

[dothelokimotion]

I'm also quick to notice someone who thinks his support means less than others.

Besides, surely no one wants to leave Thor to my tender mercies, do they?

[anotheroldsoldier]

Well, you'd think you'd know him best.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Okay. He hadn't expected that. ]

I do.

[anotheroldsoldier]

So I don't see what the problem here is.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Hm. ]

I suppose there isn't one.
