[ Sif is... not overly used to public speaking, unless you count rousing yells to fire soldiers up for battle, or perhaps the occasional drunken rant about something or other. Hence she looks more than a little stiff on camera, unsure how to address a crowd of unknown size that she can't even see. ]

Greetings, I am Lady Sif of Asgard.

[ Regardless of what happened to her home, that is how she will always refer to herself. ]

I am a member of the Perimeter Guard, and I am currently in need of sparring partners. Those of you who know what it means to be an asgardian will know what that says about my physique and how it might compare to your own abilities.

To those of you not familiar, suffice it to say that my people live for a long time, and I have spent most of my years training for battle. It requires a great deal of force to harm me, though blades will fare better than blunt instruments. As for my strength, it is quite considerable, though I could not say what that would mean in relative terms.

If you think yourself up to the challenge, I would be grateful if you would make yourself known.

Thank you.

I nominate Angela of Asgard!

[ Well, he wasn't going to offer to spar with Sif himself. He has some survival instincts. ]

[fiercestwarrior]

[ Smart move.

Hello, different Loki. One of you really is enough but Sif sincerely hopes that you won't be as big of a pain in her ass as the one she's used to. ]

Who?

[ikols]

[ What about a little pain in her ass. A pinch? ]

Angela ... Aldrif of Asgard, but don't call her that, firstborn of Odin and Freyja. She beat up Thor once, it was great.

[fiercestwarrior]

[ If you pinch Sif's butt you will lose your fingers, Loki. ]

While it is not above the Allfather to hide a daughter, [ Something she never thought she would say... ] I do not think such a woman exists in Asgard as I know it.

[ Well. Knew it. ]

But she sounds formidable.

[ The joys of parallel universes. ]

How are you with sword or single blade combat?

text: un sif

[fiercestwarrior]

It is the way I prefer to fight.

[talentedscavenger]

I don't have much experience with it, but I can train with you if you want. If not with a blade then with a staff, but I prefer blade at this point.

You are looking to battle?

[fiercestwarrior]

Yes.

[superstring]

Sounds like fun.

[nostalgiabomb]

You should talk to a friend of mine. She's into the whole sparring thing, too.

[ "Sparring thing," he says, like it's a quaint little hobby. ]

voice; @sif

[fiercestwarrior]

[ He would have gotten a sour look for that if this had been a video conversation. ]

And who is this friend?

[nostalgiabomb]

Gamora. She’s on the Perimeter Guard, too, as it happens. One of the squad captains for Search and Rescue. She’s super kickass with swords and knives.

[ Guns, too, but Peter still maintains that guns are meant to be his trademark, and he doesn’t quite appreciate her encroaching on his territory. ]

[ He's actually happy to see more Asgardians. For Thor's sake, if not Loki's. But maybe this will help change Loki's mind too. If they are all away from home they can see each other in a better light... Or maybe he's still got that old fashioned notion of taking them all out camping to get to know them better. ]

Well, I'm also with the Guard so we're bound to see each other around. If you're interested, I'd be willing to train with you.

[fiercestwarrior]

[ She is probably not the most pleasant addition to the Asgardian flock for either of the brothers, if for different reasons. ]

You fight well, it would be my pleasure to train with you.

[ Steve is still trying to understand the relationship between the other Asgardians. They're different from the ones he knows from home and he doesn't know them all that well either. Without Thor, he's left trying to figure them out on his own... and it turns out that none of them really like to talk about themselves. ]

I'm flattered that you think so.

[ He knows he's human, not a godlike being, but he likes the challenge anyway. ]

I'd like the chance to see how you do it.

I think I'm up to the challenge, if you'll have me.

[fiercestwarrior]

Have I not lashed you enough with my tongue already?

[worldsaway]

Yes, but I much prefer it when you lash out at me with your sword.

And I have new tricks to show you.

[verflair]

How do you fare against magic?

video; @sif

[fiercestwarrior]

That would depend on the magic, and the mage.

[verflair]

Well, the mage in question is right here. [ He angles a thumb towards himself. ]

As to the magic, it might be best to show you in person, but suffice it to say I have several elemental spells at my disposal and use excess power to then enhance my sword strikes.

@maverick

[deploy]

John Sheppard. PG.

I'm still learning my way around a sword, but I know which way the pointy end goes.

@sif

[fiercestwarrior]

You will have to learn very fast to stand a chance against me, then.

[deploy]

Do I get points for trying?
