[If you've been so unlucky as to never run across Thor before, the man who appears in your locket may appear strangely larger than life. If you have met Thor, you know he is actually that large in real life.

He's looking rather pleased with himself today.]

Well met, residents of the Unseelie Court. For those of you I do not yet know - I am Thor, son of Odin, grandson of Borr, defender of Earth and Asgard, and god of thunder. [He inclines his head in greeting. Gotta make good first impressions right?.] For as long as I am here, I will lend my strength to the Unseelie cause, and see this Void overcome completely.

[How that's to be done? Well... let's not say anything that'll make the Monarchs mad, okay?

Instead, Thor wants to figure out how to get everyone working towards the goal in the first place. Y'all are a diverse bunch of misfits badly in need of a Breakfast Club movie, or at least a buddy cop/road trip flick.

You can thank Loki for introducing him to those tropes.

(speaking of Loki... a green-clad arm appears from offscren and makes bunny ears behind Thor's head as he continues.)]

If any of you wish to spar, or to learn how those of other worlds fight, I am willing to teach and be taught. This may be war, but there is honor to be gained on the training grounds. Moreover, I'll buy any fighter who can best me their weight in gold of ale!

[Bring it on, Unseelie. He'll honour his oath, no matter how many people beat him.]

And to any who outdrink me, I'll give a taste of the mead they serve in Valhalla. So potent, it makes strong men drunk with but a whiff!

(yadda, yadda, yadda, says Loki, owner of the bunny ears, now appearing in the background. He rolls his eyes, making talky signs with his hands.)

It is said to bring the favour of the Norns to any who can drink a full cup and walk the length of a room without stumbling!

[Thor holds a tankard into view, and toasts the cup to all watching. The feed ends.

That's the solution to disharmony, right? Drinking and fighting!]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

[ And here is Ariadne, unhelpfully giggling at Loki's antics. Every time she takes a breath to comment on something, there's a pause and then complete and utter failure to actually speak in favor of giggling more. ]

[She's overcome with good cheer because his idea is so excellent, of course! Thor beams with her.]

Well met, Lady Ariadne! Have you come to challenge me with your martial prowess? Or your skill at the game of cups?

[ someone's taking locket video from the same room he's in with Thor. instead of just Loki, they get a view of Thor from the back, and Loki's smug look of satisfaction. ]

Your generosity knows no bounds, brother.

[ Well there have definitely been worse ideas. ]

We could spar. I think you'd definitely beat me at drinking; you've got the size advantage.

Do not sell yourself so short. The Lady Sif of Asgard would be... of your size. She has twice drunk me under the table!

[Thor. Sif's an Asgardian, it doesn't work like that.]

As it should not! [Thor's in a good mood, in part thanks to the mead.

He leans in closer to the locket, realising he's seeing himself over Loki's shoulder.]

Brother! How long have you been here? [He turns, taking Loki by the shoulders and turning him to face him.]

[This is the straightest face ever, broken only by the slightest twitch of the lips at the arm sneaking in for bunny ears.]

You should find something recognizable to stand next to so we can have a proper reference of size. Just from the look of things here, I wouldn't bet against you in a spar or drinking.

[ Loki's snatched ungracefully, half turning in his stance to face him. ]

I've been here the whole time! You were just too busy listening to yourself talk about drunken brawling.

Be not daunted! I've been bested by fighters and drinkers half my size. [Thor... half your size is still massive.]

If you can beat me in a fight I will gladly fight you again. And again. And again. Until it's extremely ill-advised to try again then do so anyway.

I said no such thing! Brawling first, drunkeness after! It is the way all good things should go.

[Excuse you, talk to Thor not your locket.]

[No, no, this is going to give Johnny ideas and Jack will never be able to use his locket in the same room with him.

But as for the drinking and fighting...that used to be Jack's way of doing things. Unfortunately it never left him this cheerful.]

So you're Thor. I've heard good things about you.

[Half your size could still probably break Ariadne in half.]

I'm daunted, but only by your choice of contests. I've no skill in either of those things, unfortunately.

If that's no idle boast, I'll hold you to it! [That's an attitude Thor likes the sound of. Sparring until you can't move is always fun.]

Then a friendly drink would be more to your tastes?

I am he! [He smiles, curiously.] Who has been telling you tales of me? I hope there was nothing I should be ashamed to own up to.

Perhaps. But to be honest, I don't drink much.

[Except for earlier this month, but that was a pretty understandable exception.]

I'm a Lienid. We never boast if we're not willing to back it. Hand-to-hand combat is a celebrated skill in Lienid, though I am not limited to it. I do just as well with weapons.

My name's Po.

[Chloe is pretty amused by the transmission. He's quite a character.]

The legendary Thor? Well, if anyone can save us, I suppose it's you.

Yet you still missed it. Alas, dear brother ...

[ there's a lopsided smile on his face. he raises his hand to give Thor opposite-facing moose-horns. ]

No. In fact, it's something I wanted to thank you for. [Jack sighs a little at that. Gratitude can still be a strange feeling, but at least it's not unpleasant now.] I heard you helped cure Johnny Storm of the sickness.

[Thor looks amused at the thought.] You do me much honour, my Lady.

I fear it will take more than my strength to overcome the threat we are faced with.

Well met, Po. I think we'll need to spar with our hands, as well as a range of other weapons- to see who is better matched in each bout.

What takes your interest then, my lady?

[He'll allow the horns, because you're smiling like a doofus.]

Missed what?
