Thor?

( she quirked an eyebrow. )

The one here? I don't think he's interested in us, to be honest. ( and the one she knew at home seemed a little .. dim for using poison. oh, no, alice, you should worry about the woman you just met. )

Is there some other Thor here? [She's only met the one and she didn't like him in the slightest. And Alice doesn't have any sense to be worried about the woman in front of her.]

I don't think so either, I don't think any of the gods are interested in us beyond bringing us here.

Not here. I know one at home. ( and perhaps the gods are more interested in the travelers than they know? Natasha has yet to decide. )

They have to have some interest. We are fighting a war for them.

Oh well, I spoke with Mr. Odin, he's very... well, he's much nicer than Mr. Thor, but I think a cold is nicer than Mr. Thor. Is your Mr. Thor nice?

( Mr. Thor? .. When she gets home, she's calling him that, end of story. )

Thor is .. 'nice'. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed, however.

[It's a strange expression but Alice does understand the meaning behind it.]

Is he your friend?

( a shrug. )

He is .. an acquaintance. ( does team member sound weird? friend wouldn't be stretching it, but that word is strange for her. )

Oh well, I'm sure your ah, acquaintance Mr. Thor will come here some day or you'll go home.

Do you think one day you'll also go home? Just out of the blue?

I don't... know. I've not been here a very long time. I want to go home though. I miss my family. Do you want to go home?

I'd like to go on vacation.

( you know, that doesn't really answer her question. )

[Don't think Alice didn't notice, Natasha.]

That isn't what I asked, miss. If you don't want to answer the question it would be politer to say that instead.

( Have a sigh. )

This is a vacation, too. And you'll find that not a lot of people here will answer directly about whether or not they want to go home. It's more complicated than that for most.

[Wouldn't it have been easier to just say it was complicated? Curious. Still, Alice nodded and tilted her head.]

Where would you want to go on vacation, Miss Natasha?

( Who does the easy thing anymore? )

I had a vacation booked somewhere sunny. And warm. I like the beach.

Oh! That sounds lovely! I've only ever been to the beach once in my entire life! But I hear there are all sorts of lovely beaches and warm sunny weather in India! Perhaps you should visit there! And they have all those bright pretty clothes!

( no, no, India wouldn't do. she'd been there far too often for missions. )

I was thinking somewhere a bit more .. off the map.

If it's somewhere off the map, how will you find it?

Isn't that the point?

But... that still doesn't answer how you shall find it.

There are a lot of places in the world not officially on maps that can be found just by looking.

Hmm, well, I certainly know something of that! I found a place not on any map!

Oh but... if you want a beach like place that is warm and sunny, doesn't that mean you'll have to find an island no one has discovered?

I would keep it a secret, then. You might want to go back there when you're older, on vacation. ( you know, after aliens nearly decimate a major city. )

That or an island that no one regularly inhabits.

Oh well, the thing is I'm not entirely sure it's real, the place I know. But after coming here, I'm most inclined to agree.

And no, you do not go to Wonderland for a holiday. That's the last place you go if you actually wish to relax.

If no one is on it, how will you have shelter that isn't a tent of leaves of some sort?

( the endless questions. why the endless questions. alice, she's not a patient woman unless she has to be and this hardly qualifies. )

I'm sure I'll find something. It's a dream, anyway. I'm here, aren't I?

(no subject)
