[Video] | Tuesday afternoon

[Hey, look who's found his way onto the network again! Finally! Thor is smiling cheerily, and maybe a little bit like he's going stir-crazy, at the camera on his phone. He's also not in his armor, but a rather nice blue tunic with some gold embellishments. Somebody did some shopping while across the ocean.]

At last, we are again in range! Hello, my friends in the Old City! It is Thor Odinson, and we are on our return trip. Apparently we will be arriving at the end of the week, but we are not to speak of that until we strike land again.

[And Thor, while a bit of an airhead, is still trying to abide by the rules.]

Have we missed anything of import? Is everyone still well? Please, regale me!

[And keep him from being bored. Please.]

Really? Well, there's not much excitement here, so I hope you're looking forward to being bored.

[Watch his face fall right there in realtime.]

Oh. That is quite disappointing. I was led to believe there were monsters, bandits, and a ruthless regime of some sort.

[Which he is fairly certain he's not supposed to poke, but he is still awfully tempted to.]

[Whoa, she didn't expect such a reaction. Maybe she did rain on his parade, just a little.]

Oh, no, no! There are dinosaurs out there, or so I heard. And the Outer Authorities would probably be the ruthless regime you're talking about, it's just--

[She sighs, rubbing the side of her finger against her brow bone.]

I'm probably not the best person to talk to about it. I've only been here a couple 'a weeks and I haven't seen any of that yet. Sorry.

[She feels she has to apologize for saying something that made his face do that.]

[He looks contemplative at that.]

Dino saurians do sound impressive. And that seems like a name that should belong to a ruthless regime of some sort, indeed. I will see when I arrive, then, what is about. Regardless, anything will be more exciting than being confined here on this metal vessel. Even just having an open deck to work on would be an improvement.

[This is Thor's downcast bored face, right here. He is apparently quite good at showing exactly how he's feeling. (Or he would be if his mun had better icons. Eheh.)]

[She smiles at that, though she tries to contain it. She doesn't want him thinking she's making fun of him.]

I know that feeling. Before coming here, I worked on a starship. We'd all get a little stir crazy after awhile.

[There's a pause as she thinks of home, or rather her home for the five-year mission. She really misses it.]

You said your name was Thor. Like the Norse god Thor?

[Aha, she's heard of him!]

Indeed. Thor Odinson, firstborn of the Allfather Odin, weilder of Mjolnir and master of its lightning. We of Asgard warred on Midgard against the frost giants once, long ago, and legends have been fashioned of the events.

[Well, in his version of history, anyway.]

[That's a lot of info to absorb at once, but she thinks she's got it all. And honestly? If she hadn't already met a werewolf and Jack Frost and heard Loki's name over the comm, she'd be in complete disbelief over this. Now? She actually believes him.]

Well, it's nice to meet you, Thor. My name's Christine Chapel.

[She pauses, thinking that sounds less impressive than all he said.]

Head Nurse of the USS Enterprise: the flagship of Federation Starfleet.

[That's right. Soak all that in.]

The pleasure is all mine, madam.

[He executes a small bow, despite being seated and seeing her over a phone network, smiling again.]

That sounds like a very important position. You mentioned this starship before. Is it then a vessel for space transport?

[While his people don't really use ships for their inter-Realm transport, he's certainly familiar with the concept.]

It is. We're an exploratory vessel that defends Federation space.

[She's totally amused at the seated bow.]

How are you enjoying the boat trip?

Rather dull, this time. The trip across at first was quite bracing. We were attacked by a five-headed sea-serpent, and even before and after that, there were tasks to be done aboard the ship.

[He shakes his head, expression melting into regret and disappointment.]

Now, we are confined to one corridor and the eatery. There is very little we are free to do.

A sea serpent? Good God, was anybody hurt?

[She's giving the screen a startled look. Forget being bored, this is what she wants info on.]

There were some injuries, and apparently its blood and venom were toxic, but as far as I am aware everyone has recovered from their injuries well enough. That fellow Mordin was a good help to the injured.

[Her lips are pressed in a line that tightens when she swallows. Part of her really wishes she had been there to help. Not that she doubts the medical expertise of Mordin, from what she's been told of him, but just because she always wants to help.]

I'm glad to hear they're recovering. I take it you weren't among those hurt?

No, and not likely to be in the future, either, so I will not likely need your care, my lady nurse. I am rather difficult to damage, compared to a human. I believe one of the heads tore my cloak, and I may have been a little bruised, but it healed quickly.

Well, we nurses always say we like it the less we see of you, meaning you aren't coming in injured, so that's good to hear.

Is that so? Then I will endeavor to keep others out of your care, to the best of my ability.

[He'd do that anyway, but it seems nice of him to say it, about now, right?]

Thanks for that. I guess I'll have to get used to the loneliness.

[It's said lightly, as a joke. She knows she can meet up with people at the Flop, the Ship, or anywhere in between.]

Well, I hope not lonely, my lady. No one should be left lonely, especially not lovely ladies.

[Not quite flirty. But close. He is quite loyal to his missing (sleeping) girlfriend, but he is also a charismatic princeling who does like ladies, in general. Especially pretty ones.]

Do you have friends who do not require you to heal them at regular intervals?

[Her lips twitch with a smile, but she doesn't go all giggly at his words. She's used to James T. Kirk: Master Charmer, so of course she's immune.]

Of course. I was just making a joke. I've been making new friends and I have one from home here too.

[Though that does give her pause. She considers Dr. McCoy a friend, but she's not sure he considers her the same. Well, she'll just have to make sure he does soon enough.]

That is excellent news! That you know someone here who you can be friendly with.

[The funny thing is, he really does sound genuinely pleased for her. He's an earnest soul, he is, even when he's being almost-flirty.]

There are others I know here, as well, though obviously I have not seen them yet. One Tony Stark, and Clint Barton, if you have been made known to them?

I've heard of Tony. Haven't met him though. Or Clint. But, hey, what do you mean by not seeing them yet?

I have not been in the Old City yet, so while we have communicated briefly over this device, I have not seen them face to face. It is not the same at all, you know.

[And he's looking forward to doing that, seeing them in person and all. The people here on the ship are very nice, of course, but he knows these people even better.]

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you'd been here awhile. And I hear you about meeting people face to face. I come from a place where talking like this is common, but meeting in person always feels... I don't know; special, I guess.

Agreed. And so I will have to look forward to meeting you in person, as well. And young Jack Frost, Lady Potts, and the Lady Sigyn, as we had quite an intense conversation on my last message across this device.

[There are a lot of people he wants to see, apparently.]

I look forward to it too. Should I let you get back to talking to others, then?
