〈 text: username @revenger 〉from the midnight sun, where the hot springs flow

[godnotlord]

[Thor has not been one quick to jump on the network after his arrival, spending time observing it, opening and closing too many apps by accident and getting the woman escorting him to his Heropa address to fill him in on most of the basics. Gods and Technology are a little like oil and water, but nonetheless he's doing his best to try and utilize what's at hand to become acquainted with this new world and its people. Yet again in an unfamiliar world, traipsing and trampling his way along trying to return to the one he comes from - and the people he left there, who he was supposed to be leading.

As Asgard is no longer a place but a people, they need him more than ever. But alas, here he is - fooling around with text under a temporary username (@REVENGER) trying to see if his brother - once again - has gotten somewhere before him. Or anyone else who might be an asset to him.]

What Gods are you familiar with?

Which of those Gods do you believe in or worship?

Which, if any, have you met?

(And have you heard of Thor, the God of Thunder in particular?)

does God's sister count?

[godnotlord]

There are a lot of Gods with sisters - which in particular are you talking about?

I suppose it counts by association, whichever it is.

[slightlyoffchilt]

"Thor"? Did your autocorrect fail to recognize "thot"?

[godnotlord]

[wat] ... No?

Thor. God of Thunder. It's a name.

[liverletdie]

Well, considering I'm an atheist, the fact that I recognize godhood is a little bit dicey.

But yes, I know Thor, god of thunder. I'm also familiar with Ares, Hercules, I've had WAY too many run ins with Loki...

There are others, but it's like asking me to list off all of my investments. Too time consuming and I think I've already gotten my point across.

[godnotlord]

[Thor takes pause for this is precisely why he cast out a hook - to see what familiar folk might bite.]

Ah, yes. Tony Stark - knows everyone and every thing, am I right? Any of those you listed here alongside yourself?

[shadowglitter]

Oh, Thor! God of Thunder. Stormbringer. Goat-lover, sometimes. Good at roars, of all the varieties.

Of course I know him. He's my son. What's up? You found him? Haha, that little rascal.
Odin the Allfather here. Odin Dark. Odin the Great Allfather, Purveyor and Surveyor and E... Exca...veyor... of the... Darkness.
I've got a million crows and stuff.

I do not worship any gods, personally, though I have been acquainted with quite a few.

Thor is one of them. Why do you ask?

[godnotlord]

Are any of those Gods you know of present here?

You could say I'm looking to get an understanding of this world.

[craftpunk]

[ Digital Voice and also very pointedly. Because fuck that Odin guy who's ten times more obnoxious than he has any right to be... ]

I wouldn't listen to the blowhard up there. [ YEAH HE CALLIN U OUT ODIN. ]

I know Thor. Quite well. And I'm familiar with a great deal more than him, considering I've walked the nine realms -- and more. Although it's been some time.

[articulations]

None.

None.

And none.

Also, no.

Hope that's helpful. :)

[ Yes. Why yes, that's a smiley. ]

[godnotlord]

I'm sure you've met at least one God by now, at the very least.

In fact I can pretty much guarantee that.

text

[fehus]

who doesn't hear Thor? between the goats and the flatulence it's a whole orchestra.

[godnotlord]

What?

text

[halfblaked]

Lengthy survey, isn't it?

I'm a theologian, so I'm familiar with most. I don't worship, though, just study.

And I've met...quite a few. More than I'd have ever imagined.

And yes, I know of Thor. I'm afraid he isn't present in my recurrence, however, so I haven't met him personally.

[godnotlord]

People like online surveys, don't they? That's a thing.

I'm mainly curious what Gods might be floating around this place. Crossed paths with one just recently who I'd be eager to avoid meeting up with again.

[ashla]

Depends on the planet, the culture and beliefs of it's people, or what part of space you are in. There could be many gods to different races.

[godnotlord]

As I'm sure there are.

I'm considering this a learning experience, see... I just recently learned of a Goddess and her backstory recently, and it was a blindsiding experience. To say the very least.

[oddbod]

1. well, an awful lot, across many different pantheons

2. none anymore, they’re all stories

3. i once met a very old, cross sun god who ate people

4. yes

Re: text.

[fehus]

eating people seems pretty cross.

[?????????????????????]

[morethan084]

Well there's you for a start.

[Daisy did not expect Thor to show up here. Then again, it was always a surprise when anyone from where she was from showed up here.]

[godnotlord]

[He takes a moment before responding, assuming she's picked up clues from Tony's replies.]

We've met?

[nightmarist]

as a catholic i worship yahweh

i'm familiar with many gods (thor included)

i haven't met most of them but there have been several gods here

[godnotlord]

Any Goddess of Death that you may or may not have seen?

[Text]

[pale_blue_arrow]

thor and the norse pantheon are big with white supremacist gangs back home. you know, the kind who are big on killing people for the crime of not being born white and european. i think there's an enclave of 'yay norse' gangsters here, too, but they just fuck around in the northwest, imPorts can avoid them pretty easily.

never met any gods, though. they're more ideas for people to rally around than actual things back home. and the ones here don't really move in the same circles as me.

[godnotlord]

That's an unfortunate interpretation of the will of the Gods, to say the least. Not something we'd endorse or condone.

You can say you've met one now, for the record. I'm Thor Odinson, of Asgard.

[ text ]

[ghoulking]

There has been a lot of gods passing through here, it's almost difficult to keep up.

[godnotlord]

Any of Mischief in particular? I should've been asking about Valkyries too.

Valkyrie. Guess it's singular now.

[text]

[cigarbribery]

I know about Greek myths from epic movies, but if you're talking about Thor, I know he's one of the Avengers currently, and he was present at the Incident.

Never met the guy, though.

[godnotlord]

Which incident is "The Incident"?

[New Mexico, New York, Greenwich...]

They need to give "Incidents" less vague names.

[garotted]

Oh for fuck’s sake.

[ that’s it that’s the comment. ]

[godnotlord]

Hello to you too.

[monsterdoc]

I come from a world where there is one of you in it, and have met entirely too many gods.

[godnotlord]

[He's really going to have to give Tony a firm pat on the back for outing him so fast. If people figured it out via that comment, then. Well. Shit. What Magnus' said is definitely going to get read too - Gods damn you, Chase? Banner's name doesn't go unnoticed here, but this @revenger just needs to confirm first:]

Have you now? I mean, I'm assuming you're putting Loki in that count and he can put anyone off meeting more Gods in a heartbeat.

[h2no]

i know a thunder bird and thunder dog but no human god of thunder
assuming this "thor" is a human/human adjacent

i mean
i don't know them personally
but yeah

[godnotlord]

A thunder bird and thunder dog? That sounds... cool.

I approve.

text.

[functusofficio]

I believe there are several people here with affiliations to what they consider gods.

I have not interacted closely with any, but there seems to be some discord, and I think other worlds involved.

Things tend to be complicated, here.

[godnotlord]

There's always discord with Gods, isn't there.

But despite this, would you say this is a peaceful realm? Relatively peaceful. I'll taken 'even slightly' as an adequate answer, really.

[ text ] » ID: Wanda Maximoff

[divaricate]

Heard of Thor? I *knew* Thor briefly in my world.

But then he like, fucked off to go find infinity gems or something and I haven't seen him since there.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He seemed pretty okay though.

[Hi, Thor — Wanda's speech has gotten much more casual in the almost two years she's been here.

Not that she knows this is Thor (yet?), of course, thanks to the semi-anon username on his part, and not that he probably knew her well enough or long enough to determine what was her normal speech back home.]

A different version of him was here for a short while as well, but that's been ... over a year ago.

[godnotlord]

Infinity stones. Forgive him for getting side tracked, some things came up and it was a bit of at trip.

What's this about a different version?

[notyourfathersosborn]

[Normie's familiar with the name "Revenger" so the name combined with the question piques his interest.]

I've heard of Thor.

I can't say I worship him though. I'm more of an Agnostic.

[godnotlord]

Quite alright, just testing the waters to see who knows who... who might be more welcome than other Gods, you know. The usual.

text;

[heliophilic]

I've found that most "Gods" were/are just beings with abilities beyond any given species' comprehension at the time.

So no, I don't believe in any of them.

My "mother" had a god complex, does that count?

As for Thor... Never met hi, but I met his brother a few years back. Fun guy. Gave me this hoodie for Christmas.

[A moment later he sends along a picture of a homemade Thor Hoodie neatly hanging on a hanger.]

[godnotlord]

You met Loki? [Hoodie seems his kind of commentary, really.]

Here, or elsewhere? And did he do anything stupid I should be aware of?

yo ur survey sucks dude

[godnotlord]

I don't remember asking for critique on it but okay.

Advice on how to improve it so that it doesn't as you put it - suck, "dude"?

[Text]

[sleight_of_hand]

I've had a handful of godly avatars punch me in the face. Thor included.

I've met Hi-no-Kagutsuchi. And by met I mean I kicked him in the face.

I've apparently also met Izanami, but I didn't know it was her.

[godnotlord]

Godly "avatars"?
