NPC POST - THOR - VIDEO - backdated to yesterday

[asgardsstrength]

[ Thor looks comfortable, reclined as he is and picking his teeth with what looks suspiciously like a thin, pointed bone. ]

So, some of you have been here for quite a while, haven't you?

[ He leans forward, smile lopsided and lazily smug. ]

There should be a tournament - a real knock-down, drag-out brawl, I think. Those Olympics left me a little wanting. [ He flashes his eyebrows at the camera. ] There weren't nearly enough punches thrown, How about we get to fixing that?

I take it that this 'war' isn't quite entertaining enough for you.

[video]

[asgardsstrength]

It'll certainly get there, I'm sure.

[samantha_grey]

Oh yeah... this takes me back. All we need is a whole pack of freaks, more power than most people have any business having, a stadium, and someone with a gong shouting "Finish them!" and I'll feel right at home.

[she pinched the bridge of her nose.]

God, I hate this place sometimes. At least this contest almost makes sense.

[asgardsstrength]

[ The sarcasm goes sailing right over his head. ]

Exactly! You've got it there.

[hushedpenance]

Depends on the rules.

If there are any.

[asgardsstrength]

It's no proper tournament without rules.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

Crow would win! He won the last... thing like that... during the olympics!

[Audio]

[asgardsstrength]

You have a crow?

[queenoftheforlornheart]

[Any chance to prove her strength was a chance Satellizer would always take. So it was no surprise to those that knew the Pandora that she wouldn't pass on this opportunity.]

When would it be held?

[Video]

[asgardsstrength]

You've confused me for someone willing to hash out the details, I think.

[blustery]

[So this is Thor, if that name attached to the broadcast is correct.]

...yeah, I can definitely see why my dad likes you so much. You don't think we already have enough fighting going on in this place?

[Lots of brawling and violence. The vikings would be all over this.]

video;

[asgardsstrength]

[ Definitely Thor. And he's still rummaging around on his end of the video, looking for something else to snack on. ]

No, actually. It's all messy and lopsided. There's hardly any sport in it at all.

And your father has good taste.

[labelism]

That sounds absolutely sadistic! But would it not be more apt for us to start preparing for the most masochistic of wars that seems to be impending?~

[asgardsstrength]

[ His inflection is drawling, lazy. ]

This isn't preparation?

video;

[empowers]

First you want us to bring color to your city by getting along, then you want us to fight for you. Now you ask us to fight each other? And for your entertainment? You're just like a Capitol lapdog. [ Her face twists into an unpleasant expression, like she's just eaten something foul. ] Disgusting.

video;

[asgardsstrength]

[ Thor is either completely oblivious to her distaste or is, for now, choosing to ignore it. ]

For your own entertainment, too.

[with_the_big_top]

Y'know, me and a friend were talking about this not too long ago. Mostly about showing this place that not just people in Thor's house are the strong ones...or something like that.

Can a tournament really be a knock-down drag out brawl, though? They're kinda too organized. Still, you can count me in!

[asgardsstrength]

[ He grins at her, earnestly thrilled by the attitude. ]

Perfect. Maybe that attitude will infect the rest of the visitors here.

video;

[sebasher]

Oh, Good god, please fix it in any way possible.

video;

[asgardsstrength]

Oh, don't worry- I'm working on it.

[ But his tone is genial, not malevolent. ]

( VIDEO )

[robb]

[ totally ignoring everything in favor of -- ]

You have taken my face.

( VIDEO )

[asgardsstrength]

I had it first.

[video]

[clockeyes]

Erm. Do you think that is wise? Not many people know how to fight, sir...

I mean, I would love practice and all, but you have to think of all the people living here!

[video]

[asgardsstrength]

-- what? It's not like I'm going to throw the lot of you into a spiked pit and tell you to go at it.

Video

[needlebearer]

[Arya squints at the person in the video.] ...Robb? [He never looks this relaxed.]

Video

[asgardsstrength]

No, no, you're pronouncing it all wrong. It's Thor. With a 'th.'

[voice]

[galaxynymph]

[Sheryl's tone is one of a person who is far from impressed.]

Don't we do enough for you people already? Now you expect us to entertain you?

[voice]

[asgardsstrength]

Everyone's acting as if I turned this bracelet on and asked them to murder puppies. Why are you so upset that I'm encouraging you to have a little fun?

video

[suppressthedark]

[Oh great. THIS is his house's god? Goddamn it. He'd show more than just displeasure if he could. um. actually move much out of his hospital bed and didn't look like he'd been in one hell of a fight.]

seriously? Even with the war coming?

video

[asgardsstrength]

[ Poor Ichigi. Thor remains unfazed. ]

Especially with the war coming.

[video]

[bitofajerk]

And what exactly would we be getting out of it?

[ enlighten him oh great patron god ]

[video]

[asgardsstrength]

Fun? A sense of achievement? [ He presses a hand to his temple. ]

[ video ]

[pratentious]

[ ... Yeah, all right. Arthur'll begrudgingly give you a light sigh. ]

I ... may have been considering such for some time now.

[ And by 'considering,' he rather means he's been drafting up all the rules and guidelines and little details you've been keen to defer.


Arthur may also be under the impression he's talking to Robb. Who knows. ]

We have hardly seen respite enough for the idea to become anything more than, however. There is no relief from war.

[ video ]

[asgardsstrength]

[ See, this is exactly the sort of initiative that Thor enjoys seeing. He grins at Arthur, expression clearly pleased. ]

Fantastic! Glad to hear it.

-- and perhaps there is no immediate relief from war, but it's best to learn to thrive in that!

[ Eagerly pushing: learn to love punching and living in Asgard will be a blast. ]

[stakes]

Y'know, I like you and everything, but maybe we should wait until this whole nasty war business is over. [ Seriously Thor cool your jets. ]

[asgardsstrength]

Or you could always choose to see it as a dress rehearsal.

/video

[valianced]

Why would we want people to hurt one another? Surely there are better ways to have fun than that.

[ Thor or not, Lucy has always been outspoken for the sake of peace and friendship. She's cute, how can you resist her?]

It seems wrong, if you ask me.

/video

[asgardsstrength]

[ He simply seems incredulous. ]

Everyone is dead set against having fun here, aren't they? Would it be better if I phrased it a little gentler? "If I may please bother you kind souls, who would be interested in partaking in a feisty battle of physical prowess? We'll be serving cake afterwards."

video

[accelerando]

Does it have to involve fighting?

Couldn't we have, say, a music contest instead?

video

[asgardsstrength]

You're welcome to have a music contest if you'd like. I won't stop you.

[magatama_no_amaterasu]

[Maya reclines with her nodachi resting against her shoulder right where Thor can see. She gives a wicked grin.]

Should someone put such a tournament together, will you grace us with your personal presence and partake in the tournament as well?

[asgardsstrength]

[ He drums his fingertips against his cheek - he may be a little drunk at this point. ]

It's certainly a possibility.

video;

[hatecomplex]

Alright, pretty boy, let's go. Its game time.

I'm been meaning to beat the crap out of something.

First things first though, call off this damn war.

[asgardsstrength]

[ Volleyed back with a lopsided grin-- ]

You think I'm pretty? How flattering.

text;

[mishaps]

I'd think you know how long.

I think the Olympics are supposed to be in London this time around.

video

[asgardsstrength]

[ He hates the text function -- it takes entirely too much effort. ]

I'm not interested in any olympics.
