[ He's settled quite comfortably in the corner of one of the city's cozy taverns, broadcasting a little smugly. Melting snow is still crusted on his hat and collar, but his clear glass tankard is already half empty. ]

I've heard more whining about the lights than anything else. 'The travelers will like them,' I heard. 'They're festive,' they said. Tchh. You'd think that most of you were blood sworn against having a little fun downtime between battles in a war.

[ And Thor signs off with a salute of his mug. ]

No complaints myself about them. Bit busy these days. Idle hands are the devil's playthings.

[She had a fit of the giggles right about then, snickering away as she tried to control them and finally coughed to get herself back under control.]

But really, by now you should be used to this. Even the ones of us on board with this whole war aren't exactly too happy with the leadership, so most of the time we're going to find something to bitch about. Besides, your brother said it best. You don't need us happy. You just need us having emotions.

Those were his words, not mine. You think I like seeing clumps of you mulling around with frowns on your faces? It's depressing.

[Oh, he thought about demonstrating his noble, august and powerful quirks with their lineage of archery and equine glory. However, he also felt like actually speaking to this one. Yes, he had heard of this one. He had read just enough to know the icon when it appeared.

This one and he, they needed to speak. It was foretold in the annals of time and all that was great and muscular in the world.]

I have little interest in gaudy lights hanging above my personage. Festivities are for peasantry. I believe, however, that I have heard of you.

You are the one called, Thor, yes?

Audio

[asgardsstrength]

[ His tone is jovial. ]

I'd watch who you call a peasant. And yes, I am Thor.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

... maybe I was wrong. Maybe you are all just idiots.

[asgardsstrength]

[ He flashes his eyebrows challengingly at him. ]

An opinion so easily swayed is a pretty worthless one in the first place, wouldn't you say.

[gandrtails]

[ So this was one of the gods. And he was whining. Well, obviously he's a good example for everyone. ]

The lights aren't bad. But has it ever occurred to you and the others that not everyone can feel that festive feeling when you're dragged into another world and forced to fight in a war, especially around the holidays? Most people want to spend the holidays with their families.

[asgardsstrength]

Yes, but that hardly gives everyone an excuse to sulk and drag their feet around like this.

[veneficus]

Before you slander my name any further, I escorted one of the city's most royal and charming on a trip to enjoy them.

[asgardsstrength]

Oh? And who was this? I don't remember going anywhere with you, lady.

[Video]

[5thchild]

I enjoy them very much. Thank you.

[Video]

[asgardsstrength]

Well, look at that! Proof that a little gratitude doesn't make you drop dead on the spot.

[circuses]

I like the lights! Mr, um...Thor! Yessir! [ It took her a moment to remember this one's name. Although then again, was he one of the mean gods or the nice ones? She wasn't entirely sure. ]

[asgardsstrength]

Good! They'll be sticking around for just a little while, so make sure you enjoy them.

[burping]

But the lights are so lovely.

[asgardsstrength]

Ah-ha! I knew someone would think so.

[tigers]

[ HI THERE CHUM someone looks really pissed at you, but he has very little to say today. ]

Poor decorating.

video;

[asgardsstrength]

You'll be in charge of the decorations next year, then.

( video. )

[gameplaying]

I have no complaints.

( video. )

[asgardsstrength]

That's what I like to hear.

video

[holyfight]

I like the lights, though!

video

[asgardsstrength]

Good! Enjoy them while they're up, then!

[starktomboy]

I don't find them unpleasant either. Is there a purpose to the festivities?

[Because haha, she does not know a thing of what they're celebrating.

Also, loooong stare before she speaks because wow he looks just like her brother, Robb, but is clearly not him. She would know her brother when she hears him or sees him.]

video;

[asgardsstrength]

[ He is definitely not Robb, but maaaan does he love messing with him. ]

It's winter. It's just-

[ Thor waves a hand dismissively. ]

-time to celebrate.

[secondborn]

They're nice, but... why put them up now?

[asgardsstrength]

We should put up the winter decorations in the middle of summer, then?

[video]

[likethelight]

[ It's... polite, but -- ]

I don't know if complaining about people complaining is much better.

[video]

[asgardsstrength]

I can do whatever I want. I'm a god.

[ 'Being petulant' apparently falls under 'doing whatever I want.' ]

[lookingfordragon]

They are pretty.
[She's not sure what there for but still.]

[asgardsstrength]

Good! I'm glad to hear it.

[deputychief]

Complainers are always more vocal than those who enjoy quietly, don't you think?

video;

[asgardsstrength]

You think that's the case, eh?

[ Rubbing his jaw, as if he's never considered that possibility. ]

video

[gforgreat]

Why are you always drinking?

video

[asgardsstrength]

Boring question. Pass.
