[ Hello fellow Initiative abductees members. Please pay close attention to the scowling God on your screen.

Or as much attention as you can pay while a thumb is over the camera. Everything is currently a nice shade of pink.]


Hail and well-met. I am Thor, of Asgardia.

I would speak with the leaders of this Initiative regarding my untimely abduction.

[ The voice rolls, deep like thunder, promising that unfavourable events will follow for whoever is responsible for this if they aren't put in contact with him. He's been fighting mutated animals since he arrived three days ago, so don't hold it against him. ]

I seek also a bathhouse.

[ ACTION - feel free to encounter him around the Hold, still covered in the blood of his enemies and seeking somewhere to get clean. Personal bathrooms aren't a thing in Asgardia. ]

[He follows, easily keeping up with his large strides.]

It is a wondrous city, since it's reconstruction. It's halls are large and it's ceilings tall- and there is never lack of anything an Aesir could desire, be it food or sport.

It saddens me that, in this realm, there is no way to reach it.

[slingshots]

[ She's pretty sure there were some vikings that would be incredibly glad to hear that. Maybe even some here. She'll have to look into that. One word in particular catches her attention, though. ]

Reconstruction?

[ofmyth]

It was destroyed. There was a great battle between the forces of Asgard and the warriors of Earth- who had been misled into believing that our presence there was a blight to them. [It is not a pleasant memory, for certain reasons, and Thor's countenance darkens momentarily as he thinks back to it.]

The matter is forgiven now, and we dwell above Earth in relative peace.

[slingshots]

Oh.

[ So people can actually harm big huge gods like this guy, or at least where they hang out? That's... disconcerting. She hits the door first and pushes out, holding it open for Thor. ]

Well, figure relative peace's better than, say... stealing warriors outta time to sic on each other.

[ofmyth]

It is a last act of desperation by men who have nowhere else to turn. [Thor's seen stranger things done in the name of self-preservation.]

As such I will not take up with them the matter of my abduction. But Thor Odinson shall have answers of their plans for our future. [Don't mind him, he's used to monologuing to himself...]

[slingshots]

Nice of you.

[ It makes her wonder what Batman would do... maybe about the same thing (minus third person monologing), if time really does stop at home like she's heard. ]

No rules against... meddling in mortal affairs, and all? [ maybe that's just a thing in the movies. ]

[ofmyth]

Only when asked, and when the cause is just. My people may be Gods, but we have no desire to become the Lords and Masters of men.

[Now outside he looks up at the clearing skies, deciding which direction would bring him fastest to the ocean.]

[slingshots]

[ Comforting. She watches him for a couple seconds, then slips out the tablet. After a few quick taps and a glance down at a compass tugged out of a pouch, she points east. ]

Shortest route, thataway.

[ofmyth]

You have quick wits, for a child. [Not all youths are so on the ball. He is rather impressed.]

Now, I must hold you tight, so as not to lose you. Have you no fear of height nor speed?

[slingshots]

[ Aw yeah, watch her beam a little. Until she recalls that it's totally not cool to look pleased at praise, and struggles to dull it back down into her general level of quiet amusement. ]

Chyeah, no. I'll be cool. [ She eyes him, drifting back into excitement again. ] Can I ride on your back?

[ofmyth]

On the return journey, perhaps. [She seems valiant enough, but better safe than sorry.

He holds out a hand to her, intending to hold her tight around the waist.] Let us go, then.

[slingshots]

[ Sigh, fine.

She pauses for a moment, looking Thor over closely. This is pretty much her last chance to determine whether or not he's actually a serial killer who plans on murdering her as soon as she commits to this. ...But, after a few seconds spent watching his face, she smiles and reaches to take his hand. ]

[ofmyth]

[Once he has a firm grip on her, Thor hefts Mjolnir and begins to spin her, faster and faster until-

With a jerk she pulls them up into the sky, the ground quickly falling away and within a few moments they're already passing the edge of the Hold towards the coast.

Thor is deliberately keeping Mjolnir from pulling them at her fastest, both to ensure Robin doesn't become overwhelmed and so that she'll be able to see the land rush past beneath them, city at first, and then deserted wasteland.

In a minute at most they're at the coast, where Thor picks a shallow, deserted bay to land in.]

[slingshots]

[ Whoa. She stays completely silent, hands wrapped around his arm and eyes wide on the ground below. She's gone still, but doesn't seem scared. Mostly, she just seems... frozen.

It's not until they're landing a short while later than the grin finally kicks in, and as she hops to her feet she turns it full-force on Thor. ]

That was... amazing!
