Video | Monday evening

[loveshishammer]

[After a day of wandering around the island market and learning a bit about this place, Thor has finally borrowed Kaidan's communicator, since he's not about to try making a call from inside a ship that sails under the water! So here he is, looking somewhere between confident, amiable, and concerned. Maybe concerned is a bit more to the forefront than he would like.]

Greetings! This is Thor Odinson of Asgard, and I was told there are people who know me who can hear this message. Stark? Doctor Banner? Can you hear me? I will keep this device on hand, please feel free to reply to my message later, if you cannot hear it yet.

[And that's that. He fiddles with buttons for a moment, carefully so as not to damage the delicate little thing, and then the feed shuts itself off.]

We all appear to be. The ship took a little damage from a five-headed sea serpent, but most of the injuries are healing well or were superficial to begin with. It was an entertaining fight, at the least, even if, ah....

[He looks a bit sheepish.]

Accidentally set fire to a portion of the desk. It has been long since I sailed on a vessel of this type, and I did not control my lightning as well as I should have.

[pepperspray]

A five headed... of course there are hydras.

[Pepper lifts one hand to delicately pinch the bridge of her nose.]

This planet gets stranger by the day. I'm glad the ship didn't take severe damage, at least, either from the monster or the lightning. Are the crew accepting you? I let Captain Silene know that some unusual people would be going on the trip, at least.

[loveshishammer]

[Thor grins at her surprise. He wasn't surprised, but then, he's used to strange monsters in unexpected places. It's just how things work when you're a Realm-traveling Norse god and/or world-traveling alien.]

The crew seems to work well enough with us, though there are sometimes strange looks and we are not very often invited to share at their tables at supper in the hold.

[He shrugs.]

It could be worse. It helps, I believe, that many of us are helping them with no complaints.

[pepperspray]

Glad to hear things are staying collegial, then. Check in as you can -- if you need anything set up in the Old City for you to... I guess it wouldn't be return to--

[Pepper runs aground briefly on the thought, before smiling and pushing on.]

Well, let me know if you want anything waiting for you.

[loveshishammer]

I cannot think of anything offhand. Though a place to stay would be appreciated. I can camp out in the woods, but I am not particularly equipped for it at the moment. I arrived with only what you see here.

[He spreads the one arm not holding the phone to display that he's wearing his armor, and has Mjolnir at his side, but that's not really all that much.]

[pepperspray]

[Pepper's eyebrows lift, but not as much as if she hadn't woken up with barely more than that.]

A place to stay won't be a problem. Nem, the local head of government has accommodations set up for new arrivals. The basics of food, shelter and a change of clothing if you need it, nothing glamorous. If you want a space of your own -- I certainly have one -- it's just a matter of finding said space and making it liveable.

I can help you find one when you get here, and if we can't cobble it together between all of us, I'll be very surprised.

[loveshishammer]

Making it livable? Is it not liveable, now?

[Simple curiosity, there. No one's really gotten around to explaining the state of the Old City to Thor yet. He knows there's some kind of oppression going on, but not much more than that.]

[pepperspray]

Most of the Old City is abandoned partial ruins, the result of a centuries-long war that appears to have more or less ended long before we turned up here. The places that are habitable are because people have repaired them.

Of course...

{Pepper leavens this grim news with a smile.]

I've heard rumours that you're pretty good with a hammer.

[loveshishammer]

[He chuckles at that, rather charmed by her mild sense of humor, particularly in the face of the description of the city.]

You have heard rightly. Though wielding it to build will be a new experience, that I will also grant. I will look forward to my arrival, then. Perhaps I may be of some use after all.
