Bringing An Old Muse Back

[bifroster]

You are probably going to have to rewatch my first two movies, but at least you are more caught up with the MCU than you were before. That took some hours to do, and you typically don't like to sit still for too long in front of a screen.

[Unlike her, who can analyze data for hours on a salvaged CRT monitor.]

You sure you want to do this, though? You're going to need to make sure to be organized and use your calendar app more ... But I suppose that is more than I ever did with my phone.

[Who needs a phone (let alone how to change the ringtone) when you were building gravitational devices that helped stop an alien invasion?]

And at least you know your astronomy and physics! Knowing something of the subject your muse is an expert in, or at least how to copy and paste stuff, always helps! The rest you can probably just wing.

Perhaps just reserve me and then write out the app for now ... and do some more voice testing. See if anyone wants to do some low-key threads. Couldn't hurt, especially since you have a lot of free time this summer. You can worry about managing stuff when school starts up later.

Not as if she's expecting a response, but:

[unfavorableinstigation]

... Jane?

[Nita's both surprised and relieved to see the astrophysicist again.]

How've you been? Er, I mean, how's life been for you in the wider worlds?

[bifroster]

Nita!

[It has been a really, really long time.]

I've been alright. Life has been interesting, to say the least, in my home universe. How about you?

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Relieved, she grins.]

Definitely! You've missed a lot in Nautilus.

[And her home 'verse is about to get more exciting, too... not that Nita knows the details yet.]

Right now we're in something of a dry-hot spell, though.

[bifroster]

I bet. How long has it been?

[Two? Three years?]

Are the weather fairies acting up again?

[unfavorableinstigation]

[At that, Nita's smile falters.]

No - most if not all of them are in Helix, now.

Haven't seen them on the Network in ages.

[The refugees from Pink's Clues are similarly scarce in Arcas.]

There were a lot of frogs in the last reality storm, too. Remind you of anyone?

[mysteryhero]

There are likely always going to be many things that we know that our players don't.

[bifroster]

Of course. How they bridge that gap is what is important.

Or they can handwave it.

[mysteryhero]

It can get frustrating to be the smartest person in the room. You must feel that sometimes too.

[bifroster]

Especially when you have an idea you know will work or you see something that no one else does and you still can’t convince them of it.

But I will admit I still don’t know how to change the ringtone on my phone.

[That was why she had Darcy. She was a genius in other ways.]

[mysteryhero]

Exactly. Always a mental step ahead of everybody else.

No? I don't have any problem with technology myself.

Jane is a great yet underrated character.

[notsochillya]

"On behalf of my mundane..."

[ Illya thinks that's such a strange term. Just keep talking to more people, Peril. Be social.]

"They fondly remember you from those films."

she is, i adore her

[bifroster]

[Jane blushes a bit.]

Thanks! My mun remembers me fondly as well.

And, on behalf of my mun, she loves your handle's username. She loves puns.

Noice! Thoughts about Thor 4 and Jane's new role?

[notsochillya]

"That's good to hear."

[ He smiles slightly. That username has grown on him. ]

"Puns are funny. In this case, I'm the joke, but it's... alright."

i am excited about them both! it will be a chance for all these characters to shine again :) you?

[bifroster]

Yeah, my mun knows a lot of them. Much to her friend's horror. Mine is a mash up of 'bifrost' and my last name, so it's more of a movie reference than a joke.

Awww that's great! Agreed! It's been a while!

[notsochillya]

"Ah, that's neat. My mundane enjoys puns occasionally. Anyway, they are happy for you. Second chances don't happen often."

[thepowerofthor]

Take your time. You have been missed, but you will be welcome, whenever you arrive, Jane.

[bifroster]

[She has really missed him. She's from a previous canon point, or as much as one can be when other movies don't really give a hint to what a character has been up to.]

Thank you, Thor. I really appreciate that.

[thepowerofthor]

You're welcome.

I hope your mun has been treating you as well as a mun can.

[ He grins at her, eyes dancing as he remembers the times they spent together, and, sadly, the time apart. Still, he very much finds himself grinning widely. ]

[bifroster]

[If there was one thing that would not change, it would be how much she cares for him. How that caring came about, friendship or romantically or otherwise, might, but never the amount.]

She has. She has been reading some of her favorite fanfics and plans to rewatch the first two movies again.

[And maybe get some more icons.]

[thepowerofthor]

[ All things change, and of all people, after his long years, Thor has learned that. ]

Oh dear. Some of those fanfics are fun! And scary. But fun, also.

[ Icons are fun, too. ]

o/

[tricksterofasgard]

Jane.

[ Just a tiny smirk and a nod. ]

It's been a while, has it not?

:D

[bifroster]

Loki! It has been a while! How are you?

[The mun is giddy right now.]

His lack of icons is the tricky part...

[tricksterofasgard]

All things considered? I find myself in a way preferable position than some other of my... Incarnations.

[ Does he regret the choices he has made? No. ]

And I see you are faring well yourself.

[ Which he deems a good thing. ]

same with jane

[bifroster]

That's great to hear. I'd rather you not be in prison or something myself.

[She smiles.]

Yeah. It's kind of odd to be back after so long.

[tricksterofasgard]

You know as well as I do that I prefer myself out of any kind of prison.

[ Even if said imprisonment may be deserved at times. ]

Well then. What prompted the sudden return?

[ Call him mildly curious if you wish. ]

Any big plans your mun is hatching out for you?
