Apped at the Library

[coffeemugsmash]

(( Canon point is before his friends show up to tell him Loki lied, so well before Avengers. But spoilers may happen in comments.))

If we are to go to this library, what are we waiting for? They require my assistance! The son of Odin has no need for applications!

Come! We will go now!

[summing_it_up]

But– but this application thing was normal for each place. I mean, there's really no rush to do things!

Actually, this is starting to remind me of&ndash Son of Odin, oh gods, why did I not pay attention to that???

[coffeemugsmash]

They are so few and the creatures which besiege them are so many! If they are in such dire need, any and all hands should be worthy! Not just those they deem so!

You have heard of me, then!

[summing_it_up]

Okay, good point. That's starting to sound like the norm around here.

But besides that! Well, yyyyeah, I did! Do. And you really are serious about being the Son of Odin.

[coffeemugsmash]

Yes. I am quite serious. I am Thor, son of Odin. Brother to Loki.

[element_wizard]

I think you're the only one who's happy to go out of the lot of us.


Also my sister wants to take you home with her.

[coffeemugsmash]

Do not be mistaken. It is not out of happiness or pleasure that I wish to be there with haste. As warrior and protector, it is my duty.

[element_wizard]

I could see that, yeah.

[coffeemugsmash]

If we are to be returned home once we have completed this task, I see no reason to fight against it.

[slyest]

And what exactly will there be for you to do in a library?

[coffeemugsmash]

This is no ordinary library, brother! It is said to be large enough to be a realm unto itself! And it is overrun with great and terrible beasts!

[slyest]

These great and terrible beasts wouldn't happen to be called books, would they?

(Damn it, Loki!)

[coffeemugsmash]

I believe that is where many of them have come from. And some are said to rival even the Bilchsteim!

[lunging]

...what's a library have need of you for?

[Thor in a library. He doesn't see it, nope.]

[coffeemugsmash]

To battle the terrible beasts which have invaded its corridors, of course!

[lunging]

Oh, so you're not going to the library to...read.

[hulkish]

There's, uh. A process to the whole thing. They have to make sure you mean well. We humans can be a bit fickle about playing nice [he speaks from experience-- lookin' at you, General Ross].

[coffeemugsmash]

But there are so many who do not mean well. Who hide from their duties and fight to leave that place.

[hulkish]

Muns don't often give their muses any say in where they end up. Do they have a duty to fight even when the battle isn't their choice?

[behavesverybadly]

I see finesse remains your forte no matter what the world, Thor.

[coffeemugsmash]

Another who speaks as though we have crossed passed before. Tell me your name!

[behavesverybadly]

Not so much crossed paths as I've taken a little peek from my mundane's point of view, and-- Oh, bother. I'm Loki.

[AU Steve decides he should say hi to the future teammate that he's only read about in mythology books.]

I think the 'librarians' prefer it if our mundanes finish the applications before we get dragged into the place. If you do get sent there, Tony and I will appreciate the help with the tasks they keep assigning us.

[coffeemugsmash]

It has been completed. Yet they still make me wait. If there are so many tasks to be performed, should they not expedite such a process?

[like_a_gerbil]

My mundane and I had to wait too. Thought she was going to go crazy waiting. Then we had to wait to see if Tony'd make it...

They're probably trying to get through them quick, but we don't know how many others they're considering bringing into the Library. Right now, things are kind of quiet so there's no real tasks. Mostly we've been keeping an eye on the monsters and helping the new people that show up.

[He really doesn't want to consider what his mundane's hoping will be the next world they visit.]

[sandwormie]

...I might end up going there. Dunno.
