[Anders stumbles out of the Gladsheim Palace and carefully sits on the ground before falling for the millionth time that day. It hurts when it happens so, no. He fumbles with the bracelet until the video screens appears in front of him.]

It's a fucking joke, right ? This can't be Asgard... [Because, yep, the idea he has of Asgard is far less boring and way more... godly than that. It's already not very fun to be a God so if he and his brothers have to rule over such a place, Axl better murder him immediatly.] Those Gods... Don't think I like their sense of humour very much. What happens if we refuse to help them, they kill us ?

[Anders chuckles but there is no happiness in his laugh. He just feels tired and shitty. Very shitty. He touches his neck, the blood on his skin and clothes now dry.]

Anyway... That Loki House ? I miiiight need help to get there... And damn, I could do with a drink too.

[He's about to end the feed when a last thought pops into his mind.] Hey... Please... Tell me they don't have an Idun... I'm fucking tired of Idun.

[Don't talk to him of prophecies. Thank you.] Very strange... I mean... You are an earthling, right ? You look like an earthling.

So that's why you try to find Earth ?

[And she will find no wound as it is totally healed already. But he lost a lot of blood so excuse his weakness.] Mm... Hi...

[wontbeforgotten]

Earthling? I know of Earth, but no. I'm not from there. I am--was from Caprica, one of the twelve Colonies. The Cylons destroyed the colonies so we are looking for a new home. For Earth, yeah. Like I said, but I can't blame you for that when you don't seem to be in the best state.

[She's perhaps a little confused, wondering if perhaps rapid healing of some sort was one of the powers the gods gave people here, but seems to relax a bit more when she can't find anything, sitting up and brushing some hair behind her ear, unable to help the small smile at her lips.]

Hi. You always make such a dramatic entrance?

[sweettalk]

[All this sounds very complicated and very strange to him. He never thought that other worlds could exist, even less meet people coming from them. Being a Norse God in New Zealand is already confusing enough for him to completely grasp what is said.]

So Caprica is like... a planet ? Did we finally blow up the Earth for people having to colonize space ?

[Anders sita, rubbing the back of his neck. Constantly falling is starting to give him a headache.] Yeah... I hate not being noticed.

[wontbeforgotten]

It was a planet, yes. And no, as far as I am aware, the Earth is not blown up.

[She won't go into the Doctor mentioning the death of Earth and the conversation she had with him then. Anders doesn't seem up for that and still seems pretty confused about it all. She helps him sit, steadying him with one hand at his back.]

I'm sure. Be pretty boring if you weren't noticed and everyone ignored you. I'm Kara.

[sweettalk]

Ah, good. At least humanity succeeded in something.

[Yeah, better not. His mind is not into metaphysical things right now. Thank you.]

You tell me... It kills all the fun. [He sits with Kara's help and offers her a smile.] Anders.

[wontbeforgotten]

Anders. Nice to meet you, Anders.

[She gives him a small smile, helping him sit up. He's not unattractive, and Kara's not entirely sure if he should be drinking or not, but he seems to be improving at least.]

You really sure you're up for a drink? Feeling a bit better now?

[sweettalk]

Yeah, awesome...

[He remains sitting there, his back against the wall. He'll be ok if he doesn't move much.]

The drink will make me feel better.

[wontbeforgotten]

If you say so. I can get you one if you like. Reckon you can make it to the seats?

[Since. She is sure that would be more comfortable. But she won't push him if he decides to stay safe and remain sitting against the wall either. She's done that herself, admittedly after being drunk already and attempting to jump over the table and failing.]

Or I can bring you one here if you prefer.

[sweettalk]

If you don't mind... I'm perfectly fine here.

[The floor and wall are stable, bar stools can be treacherous. At least, he can't fall lower than that.]

The stronger, the better.

[wontbeforgotten]

All right then. Anything in particular you want to drink?

[She asks, since for all she knows they might have different drinks in New Zealand, after all, and she doesn't know the entire drinks list here yet. So Kara figures it is safer to check with him before going to order and bring the drinks down to the floor.]

[sweettalk]

Vodka... Vodka would be fantastic.

[If they don't have vodka, it's ok too, as long as Kara finds something strong. He truly needs to get wasted.]

[wontbeforgotten]

Okay. Just don't go passing out on me again.

[She reprimands him, giving him an almost accusatory point as she stands and steps back before turning to the bar to order the drinks. It's a few minutes before she returns with two glasses, seating herself next to him and passing him one.]

There you go. Seem like you need it.

[sweettalk]

'Will do my best.

[She can think what she wants, Anders doesn't care. He settles as comfortably as he can and only looks up when Kara comes back, holding out a grateful hand to take his glass.]

Ta... I do need it... You have no idea how much.

[wontbeforgotten]

I think I have some idea. Besides, not like there's usually a lot to do around here when the giants aren't attacking, so may as well make the most of this booze and bar.

[She laughs, giving him a smile before taking a sip of her own drink.]

[sweettalk]

Giants' attacks ? Are you trying to cheer me up ?

[Anders sips at his glass, enjoying the warm, almost burning, feeling in his mouth. Delicious, he really needed that.] You can count on me to help with the booze.

[wontbeforgotten]

Is that a bad thing if I am trying to?

[She raises and eyebrow at him, savoring the slight burn of the alcohol going down her throat, the taste of it. So much better than the stuff they had back on Galactica.]

And you can count on me to be here when you need some company.

[sweettalk]

No, I need all the fun you can give me.

[He looks back at her, cracking a smile. Hey, why didn't she bring the bottle ?]

Perfect ! I bet we'll get along well then, you and I.

[wontbeforgotten]

I'm sure.

[She returns the smile, raising her glass to him a little. As for the bottle, more alcohol could always be arranged.]

Sounds like a plan then, you wouldn't be the first to regularly meet me here.

[sweettalk]

Mm... [He clings his glass to hers before finishing it. Yes, more is needed.]

Ah, really ? Should I feel jealous ?

[wontbeforgotten]

[She can't help but laugh at that, spurting a bit of her drink down her front at the question.]

Why would you be jealous? I've practically almost been on my best behaviour here, I'll have you know. And Tyki is just a friend.

[That and neither Sam nor Lee was here. So she actually is behaving, for the most part besides the drinking.]

Sorry for the lateness. ;;

[sweettalk]

[You know what they say about making a woman laugh ?]

I have no idea who that Tyki is... But the most important is to have fun, no ? [And drinking is very fun.]

no worries!

[wontbeforgotten]

I'm sure if you spend enough time in here you'll see him around at some point.

[What? That that's the way to their heart, rather than the stomach?]

But yeah. Fun is definitely important. Even if we're stuck here with this war and all.

Thanks !

[sweettalk]

Mm... I see... A drinking buddy then ?

[More like the way to their bed.]

Yeah... Better laugh than cry I believe.

<3 No worries.

[wontbeforgotten]

Something like that. It's sort of just, become a regular thing to meet here for drinks each week. When things don't turn to shit, I mean.

[Oh beds. Don't tempt her.]

Exactly. Got to have a sense of humor at the very least.

<3

[sweettalk]

Oh... And does it happen often ? Things turning to shit I mean.

[Why not ?]

You can't survive life without humor.
