[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.]

You do not know where he is?

[More dismay! And concern, too, because this does not sound like his brother at all, not the way he is now. He might hide for a little while, but not for long, and not when people who are trying to "hide" him.]

Have you spoken with him? Seen him?

Since we just established that he's a master illusionist, "have I seen him" probably isn't the most helpful question.

[Because he could be a dog. Or a tree. Or invisible. Or a teenager, apparently.]

Something's up. We're just trying to figure out what.

I will try to find him upon my arrival... if he will let me find him. Perhaps in this place, if he has not made any pronouncements of attempting to put himself up as king, he may be more amenable to my words.

[They will be lone Asgardians trapped here, after all. With potential enemies arrayed against them both, to boot. That has to count for something.]

It's a small city. Finding shouldn't be a problem. Containing if he goes nuclear - now that's going to be fun. [In the actually not at all sense of the word.]

Why do you mortals continually use that word for something that is the opposite?

[Usually Thor would call a good fight fun... but not one against his brother. That's dead serious. And generally unhappy-making.]

Regardless, we will do what we can. He is not as powerful without that scepter, and his magic is more in trickery than in offense.

Because contemplating how not-fun things are is just depressing.

And the legion of crazy people convinced his life is at risk are making me think trickery's enough - but we have a few options, if we need them.

Who all is doing this? Hiding him?

[He hasn't gotten any names yet, only derogatory descriptions in vague terms. If Sigyn is one of those people, though... hmm. He isn't sure what he'd make of that, really.]

[He could answer. Or he could just send along copies of these messages.]

Not to mention anyone else they've roped into playing along. The complete lack of any actual justification for the threats is a nice touch.

[Guess who doesn't know that Clint actually did go after Loki? Not that Tony would blame him at all.]

[Thor is quiet for a minute-- allowing Tony to listen to those messages, himself, second-hand-- and frowns thoughtfully.]

The Lady Sigyn, I believe, speaks out of loyalty to myself. We vowed to aid each other and support each other, and she may view this as part of that vow. I do not know this Fa Mulan. Her reasons are unknown to me.

[Though she reminds him a lot of one of his dear friends. That does earn her a plus, in his book.]
