ODINSON! Whatever trick or spell has brought me here, I know it was your doing. I will not be toyed with, craven! Come whence the shadows you hide in or I will hunt you down and drag you out of them, and I will not be gentle.

You think yourself king of Asgard? Then face me like a warrior of Asgard. I would see you answer for your deceits and treachery!

And I was never king!

Sif, I have been here. I was pushed from the Bifrost by a girl's primitive craft. I landed in this forest, and left you and the Three alone with Thor to take Jotunnheim.

Why won't you listen?

[Chell has experience with hiding, but not the lies and trickery part. One has to speak to lie, and she didn't speak back at the facility.]

I don't think I've seen anyone like that here.

[A pause.]

But if he was lying, I probably wouldn't know it.

[ There it is again, that uncertainty, and she hates it. He is not the smug, untouchable king now. ]

It is not that I will not listen, but that I do not believe you! How can I possibly? You were there with us on Jotunheim when we nearly died. You admitted to telling the guard to alert the Allfather we were going and where. And you have not been the same since we returned.

[video]

[sorcerous]

And you, in all your cleverness, never bothered to check for an impostor.

[video]

[atwar]

Likely you would not. He is skilled at lying above all else.

But it is wrong that I should take my anger at him out upon you. I am the Lady Sif, sworn warrior of Asgard.

[video]

[atwar]

I am to believe an impostor could deceive the queen? You do your mother great insult with such a suggestion.

[video]

[sorcerous]

With Thor gone and the Royal Family in tumult? I am not the only practiced liar in the Nine Realms.

[video]

[atwar]

Yet you still remain the one with the most to gain.

[ a thread of doubt. pause. ]

Laufey said the House of Odin was full of traitors. Only a great master of magic could deceive Heimdall's sight.

[video]

[sorcerous]

I thought I was called here for a reason. There is an Oracle, and she said -- no. I must have been detained. And deceived.

[ He loathes the thought. ]

[video]

[atwar]

...You truly believe yourself a victim in this.

[video]

[sorcerous]

You must have taken such delight. Look, the second son of Odin, a proven traitor. And you, the warrior, so ready to leap at my throat.

I will begin my preparations for transport off-planet immediately.

I regret to tell you that I only have the power to take myself.

[video]

[atwar]

[ you know what loki fuck you ]

Do not presume to know what is in my mind! I have spent these last few days fearing I would lose both my friends; I have forsaken my vows to the throne to do what I believe in my conscience is right.

The thought of you as a traitor gladdens me no more than the thought of you dead.

[most_feared]

[She sounds really, really angry.

But, he's a gentleman. Mostly. So he might as well ask.] You need any help, ma'am? I don't mean with Loki, 'cause he's kind of a squirrelly bastard and I'll let you two work that out. But ah... just help in general?

[atwar]

[ That is because she is really, really angry. ]

Can you arrange for transport off this rock? I cannot believe it is as impossible as they say. Even the mortals of Midgard have some ability to journey into the cosmos.

[most_feared]

Workin' on it. We'd all like to find our ways home. Couple of pilots crashed here that didn't come from the big broken ship.

Some of us don't have histories that match either. Different timelines and realities. So it's gonna be complicated and probably take work.

But I don't think for a minute it's impossible.

[atwar]

[ that catches her attentions ]

You say different timelines. What do you mean?

[video]

[waspromisedcake]

I'm Chell. Just... Chell.

[most_feared]

There can be two versions of the same guy here, but with different histories for each. Or whole universes- there are places and races that I've heard mentioned here that sure as hell aren't local to me.

[video]

[sorcerous]

And now it is I who would call you liar.

And no doubt you will find many friends among the populace here.

[video]

[atwar]

You are in no position to question my honor.

[video]

[atwar]

Are you a native of this realm, Chell?

[video]

[sorcerous]

I am in every position! I committed none of the crimes you were so eager to detail.

[video]

[atwar]

Answer this truthfully:

Were you responsible for the frost giants breaking into the vault?

[video]

[knightoflight]

[That sounded...alarmingly angry. Was he going to have to try to calm down another one? This latest batch had woken up rather testy. Maybe they'd done something wrong to the life support.]

If one of our number has wronged you, I am sure we could find a...less violent recourse?

[video]

[sorcerous]

Why would you believe that I was? A sorcerer powerful enough to imitate me could have easily stepped through the wards.
