Experiment 001 // Video

[anomaliiiiies]

[Jane is looking at her netbook's camera in a mix of dismay, disbelief, and a definite aura of trying to play along with the cosmic joke.]

Seriously? A question, if I may. If I am to fight, why would they choose a physicist? I mean, seriously, come on. This has got to be a giant joke, and I don't have time for it. I mean, yeah weapons, and all that, and an allowance, but that's easy enough to fake. Either that, or I've gone insane from running around with gods and giant suits of armor belching fire. Would anyone care to confirm this or do I wait for someone to jump out and yell 'Suprise!'?

Jane! [ Immediately, he's lit up with excitement and jogging for the door of the house he's in, but a moment later, he pauses, realizing being here isn't exactly a good thing. There's an usually seriousness to his voice ] Jane, you must find cover - go back into the building whence you came - the city is not safe for you.

I am on my way. [ and there's a whooshing of Mjolnir being swung around ]

Thor? what do you mean? [she's confused, but she obeys, going back inside.]

Um, how are you going to find me?

The natives riot - it is dangerous in the streets.

[ He considers that for a moment. Hrm. ] Are you near the building with the armory - the one you were brought into, Jane?

[anomaliiiiies]

Noted. [she's linefaced with confusion, and a bit of a temper. She nods]

I am. Let me guess. You're flying in?

Thor's mortal - Jane Foster?

[anomaliiiiies]

I remember you. Lady Sif, right? You came to Earth just before that thing came.

The Destroyer. It guards the treasures that lie within Odin Allfather's weapons vault.

Though the circumstances are not what they ought to be, it gladdens me to see you, for Thor's sake.

[onemoredeath]

They might have chosen you for some other quality. After all, I am a mere host, and there are a few royals and none of us are that good at fighting.

[anomaliiiiies]

That may be possible. My work is in particle physics and astrophysics. But that doesn't mean that they should grab anyone they want.

[onemoredeath]

Of course there is the theory that they just cast a blind eye and grab whoever they can.

But you are here now and there is much that you will need to learn about this place.

You'd be surprised how much a working knowledge of Nintendo 64 and a memorized list of X-Files episode recaps can be handy on the field. Physics is probably just the more sophisticated next step.

Re: video

[anomaliiiiies]

You'll have to explain the need for X-Files episode caps. Also Nintendo 64? That's a bit old school.

Re: video

[gorillawarfare]

It comes standard with the alien invasion. That one that you've probably never heard of yet because for some reason I am yet again the only sane man in the room.


[ blink ]

What? Don't tell me you have a Dreamcast already!

[boughtabookstore]

A physicist?

permatext; forwarddated to when she returns from her mission

[anomaliiiiies]

With the doctorate and everything.

[boughtabookstore]

That's good to know.

We can always use more scientists here.

[noble_nate]

A few of us have theorized that the Initiative just grab whoever happens to be in the area when they use their machines -- or whatever they are -- to pull in more transports.

[anomaliiiiies]

Oh, so it's like those abductions people on the late night TV shows talk about.

[noble_nate]

I'm... not sure. I've heard of TV's, but I don't really know anything about the shows.

[He has had reality shows explained to him, not very successfully, though.

[feel_nevermore]

[Well the Initiative seem to enjoy a bit of variety, it seems.]

Why would someone do that... is this your birthday?

[Video]

[anomaliiiiies]

[just a little]

What would my birthday have to do with being taken?

[Video]

[feel_nevermore]

It would have something to do with you expecting people to come out and shout 'surprise'.

[chelicerata]

The knowledge of a physicist could be of value to the Initiative. They might not want you for your physical strength or suitability for combat. [ Or, as it were, lack thereof. ]

voice;

[anomaliiiiies]

They could just ask. I don't like having my things taken and I really don't like myself being taken just because I may be useful.

voice; SO LATE SOB I'M SORRY

[chelicerata]

It seems like common courtesies are forgotten when there's a civil war to fight.
