1 Storm Calling

[thepowerofthor]

[ There is a moment of quiet, then there is a Thor on the screen, one who is well-trimmed, carefully dressed, and settled into a chair facing the screen. Only his face is showing as he squints at the camera. ]

Hello to all you wonderful Midgardians! I hope you are finding this day bright and good. And finding much beer and combat in it as well! I am Thor Odinson, late of New Asgard.

I am here to ask where you all go when you want to most have fun? What do you do on this world? Also, what video games do you recommend here? I am still adjusting to the strange crowds and being stuck on one world, and unsure of what to do. So I seek your wisdom and your advice, good people!

[ He points at the camera, a grin on his face. ]

You are my only hope.

[ And yes, he might well be glancing down at notes on a card that is out of view. Maybe. But either way, at the end, he grins at the camera, gives a solemn nod, and then the screen goes blank. ]

Beer and combat? Isn't that like drinking and driving? [ She's teasing. Hi. ]

WANDA!

[ There is excitement on his face as he grins at her. ]

Maybe. I have yet to do so. But beer and combat work well together.

[ Also, without pause, really. ]

Where are you?

[this buddy again, huh? well, archie's happy to see him here-- he has a vague idea of how rough it is for the poor guy back home (even if he doesn't know of Purple Joss Wheaton™). besides! thor's a cool dude.

therefore, stupidly, and knowing thor would kick his ass with absolutely no effort involved:] Dunno about video games but I'll do beer and combat! Fight me, bro!

[thepowerofthor]

[ There is no hesitation in his response. ]

Where? When? And what weapons do you choose?

[stlg13bomber]

You could go to the cinema - oh, but they also have ways you can watch movies right at your house too! Not quite the same for me, though.

[video]

[thepowerofthor]

Hmmm. I have not done this yet. Mayhap I will.

Thank you!

I enjoy both going out and staying in!

Re: video

[h2no]

[ohohohoh this is why he's always liked thor.]

Hmmm. Heropa beach, right now! I can-- I can show ya on Yahoogle maps, if ya need it. [he tilts his head.] My Pokémon! Like, ah. Animal companions, unless that don't sit well with you. Then fists! Ain't nothing better than good ol' fisticuffs, huh?!

[he's maybe a little too excited.]

Re: video

[thepowerofthor]

[ Thor is very glad to have met someone who likes fighting for fun as much as he does! ]

This phone thing they gave me is equipped with that. As long as it is called Heropa Beach, I can show it to my Axe, and it will take me there.

And I do not know what a Pokemon is, but sure, why not? So long as they are willing!

Have at thee!

[Lacey has a bright smile on her face and waves.]

Hi there! I'm Lacey and I am having a good day. What's a Midgardian?

I'm new here. Back home, we'd play sports, cards, games or just have a beer at the local bar and hang out. I figure all of that can be done here too.

[divaricate]

I'm not as sturdy as you, haha. And I live in Jeopardy.

Re: video

[h2no]

I wouldn't involve them if they weren't, trust me. I got more honour than that! Hoh!

[he claps his hands.]

I'll see you there, Thor of Asgard! I'm lookin' forward to throwin' down with one such as you!

[thepowerofthor]

I think you are built quite well.

Ah! Would you care to get food and drink? IO am still learning these towns, but I can arrive anywhere in Jeopardy that I can find on the yahoogle app on my phone.

[thepowerofthor]

Excellent~!

I shall see you there, man whose name I do not know!

[ He laughs and then winks and vanishes from the screen, a blaze of light and thunder coming a moment later. Off he goes to fight and have fun!! ]

[thepowerofthor]

Greetings, Lacey who is new! I am Thor who is also new!

And Humans who live on what you call Earth are Midgardians. As I am an Asgardian, hailing from Asgard.

[ He grins at her. ]

What sort of sports do you play?

Re: video

[h2no]

[he's waiting there when thor arrives, his mightyena by his side. it barks and growls at thor as he arrives, though given how his tail is wagging, it's put on. there's no actual malice behind those red eyes and floppy earsies. archie uncrosses his arms, waving.]

Aye, it's Archie! Forgot the whole name thing. What an exit an' entrance ya got there. Nice axe! Nice ass! Right, that's all out the way...!

[what is he even saying, honestly??]

[hadthehighground]

[Your only hope is here! Obi-Wan Kenobi!]

Well, Thor Odinson, I suppose that depends on what you like. I'm afraid I'm not well versed in video games, but there are a number of activities to choose from.

This time of year you might find a beach enjoyable.

[He then turns his device to show the white sand and stretch of ocean that makes up a Florida beach, where he's at right now.]

[the_horror]

[Thor. Odinson. Midgardians. Asgard.]

[Ben's having a moment. He knows that Gods and shit can be brought here, but he knows about Myths and, and, and... SO COOL. He might not know this version of Thor but he knows the Earth stories.]

[He takes a moment before he replies though. Stay cool.]

I've been finding lots of things to do for fun. Bungee jumping was cool. The free fall feels neat. I still want to go swim with sharks. I have a bike that I go riding around in the desert. That's fun. The beach is a great place to relax as well.

As for games, have you heard of Magic and Mayhem? It's like Dungeons and Dragons from where I'm from. It's not a video game but it's an interactive game.

[divaricate]

I'm a squishy human.

Sure, you can get slightly more settled and then we can text and find a place to meet up.

[thepowerofthor]

Not so squishy.

Sounds perfect.

Thank you.

audio;

[thepowerofthor]

Bungee jumping? Excellent! I will have to check it out. Sharks are those Midgardian swimming predators, yes? They sound like fun.

[ He listens and hmms. ]

I have not heard of either of those games but I am curious. What do you do in them?

Video

[thepowerofthor]

[ Hurrah! ]

Beaches are nice! I am usually more active than most beaches seem, but I may need to check out beaches on this world.

That one looks amazing.

[harvesthoney]

Oh, wow!  You're from another planet.  This is place is full of surprises.

I play golf, softball, hockey and soccer. Curling's fun but I'm not very good at it.   I like to watch Canadian football.   What about you?  What sports do you like?

Re: video

[thepowerofthor]

[ Thor squints at the man, and his... Pokemon? He nods, though, swinging his axe with one hand as he bounces. ]

Nice to meet you, Archie. And you as well, Pokemon.

[ Lightning crackles around him, then fades as he tosses his axe to the sand, the area fizzling with energy as he squares off. ]

Have at you!

[h2no]

Aye, you as well, son of Odin! [he says with a laugh.] Right! Mightyena, use Embargo! Don't let him get that axe back up!

[the dog barks, eyes glowing. the embargo move solidies as ghostly chains that shoot out from its fur, aiming for thor. if they hit, he'll find it... a little hard to pick up the axe, though certainly not impossible. it's a move meant for other pokémon used on an asgardian, of course! who knows how those things work!

archie himself isn't about to sit this out, though. he doesn't use his shielding power just yet-- opting to wait because of its single useage, and runs forward, skidding on the sand to close the distance but see how thor's gonna go for first strike.

considering thor is a literal god, this is a really shitty battle plan, but archie doesn't care. it's fun! trial by fire! or, rather, lightning!]

Video

[hadthehighground]

Oh? Well they volley balls.

[The camera turns to some people playing beach volleyball nearby. Can you tell this is his first time to an earth beach.]

You do seem more the adventurous type. What with beer and combat. Though if i may say, this is fantastic beard.

[Seeing that he has it himself, Obi-Wan appreciates good facial hair.]
