[Jane bites her lip. In the background is a brick wall, meaning she is out and about. But she looks more concerned than she should be, if she were heading to a class or running errands.]

Has ... anyone seen Thor?

You have a missing pet, ma'am?

[He thinks Thor might be a cat or dog. There could be some confusion when Jane sees this face appear. For one, he looks like Quentin Beck just had a shave and a haircut. Two, the username that pops up is David Wayne Loki. Yes, his surname is Loki.]

[Video]

[bifroster]

[Loki, huh? Either there is a connection or it is just an unusual name from a Norse relative or something. Erik was familiar with the legends, after all. It's hardly out of the realm of possibilities.]

No, Thor is a person. Really tall, blonde hair, can control thunder and lightning?

Re: [Video]

[detectivedwloki]

Are you joking?

[Video]

[bifroster]

No, I am not.

Are you new in this world? It kind of threw me for a loop too, save my world already had people capable of such things.

[detectivedwloki]

Seems to be some strange things going on.

Yes, I just got here. I'm Detective Loki.

( She looks sympathetic because she remembers this is the woman who'd given herself a headache with her abilities and it sounds like things aren't getting any better for her. Rikki doesn't know a Thor and she has no idea whether that's a person or pet, because it could literally be either. She's heard weirder names here. Or, at least, weirder to her. )

Is that a friend of yours...? Or a pet or...? I could help you look?

[bifroster]

[Ah! Jane remembers her. The headaches have gotten better, so there's that at least.]

Yeah, it's a friend. I guess Thor isn't a common person name anymore. He's tall, has blonde hair, unusual accent? Asgardian, if that rings a bell?

[Gives really fantastic hugs, is a joy to be around.]

[justaddh2o]

( Frowning, Rikki feels an uncomfortable turn in her stomach. Ben had told her that people come and go and there's little to no knowing when. It's uncomfortable to think about now that she's starting to make friends here. ]

Some people would probably argue I have an unusual accent. I don't think I've met him, though. I'm sorry, mate...

[bifroster]

[It is uncomfortable. Anyone could come here. People she never wanted to see again. People who did her world immense harm. People before she met them, or long after she had died.]

That's alright. I think it's obvious that he isn't here anymore.

I guess the accent thing wasn't really needed, though.

[More accurately, it was different speech patterns, but even then.]

[justaddh2o]

I'm sorry, Jane. Was he a friend from here or from home?

[usaf]

I think he's gone. I haven't heard from him, and his name isn't on the directory anymore.

[ Too bad, Carol was starting to like the guy. ]

Did you know him well?

[bifroster]

Oh.

[She had just gotten here and ... Yeah. She was going to miss him.]

Yeah, we're from the same world. We, uh, dated for a bit. Save the world twice.

[usaf]

Oh.

[ Thor hadn't mentioned his ex being here when he debriefed Carol on the future. ]

Are you an... [ What was the name again? Oh yeah, her old callsign. ] ...Avenger?

[bifroster]

[Seems like they kind of missed each other, except for a week or so when their time here overlapped.]

Avenger-adjacent. I'm not debriefed on everything, SHIELD likes to keep its secrets, but I've kept up with what I can.

[usaf]

Oh, I know all about SHIELD. Fury is a friend of mine, back on our Earth.

[ A recently-made friend, but a friend all the same. She... really misses Fury. ]

[hadthehighground]

Could he have gone home?

If he has, I'm sorry to hear it. He seemed like a fine fellow.

[bifroster]

There's a possibility. He's apparently not in the directory anymore.

[That's always a surefire sign, right?]

He is.

[hadthehighground]

Ah.

[Yeah that's a pretty sure sign right there.]

I'm sorry. You were close to him?

[bifroster]

Yeah. We still are.

[She had hoped that when he came down to her apartment after the business with the Dark Elves, that matter would be settled somehow.]

At least, from the point in the timeline where I'm from.

[hadthehighground]

I see.

[There's a distinct compassion in his voice.]

For what it's worth, I understand. It's difficult being seperated from those you care about. Especially when you know you may never see them again. So I truly am sorry.

[pocketfulof]

Thor as in...Asgardian, Norse god of Thunder Thor?

Because uh, nope to that.

video;

[bifroster]

Yes, him exactly.

But thanks for letting me know.

[pocketfulof]

Sorry I couldn't help more. How long has he been missing?

[bifroster]

It's alright. I have been trying to contact him for a day or so now, so I suppose he's left recently.

[pocketfulof]

Must have if you're just noticing it. His name's not on the network, right?
