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!

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!

[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.

[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]

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.

[coffeemugsmash]

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

[summing_it_up]

Annnd I should be dead right now for even questioning that.

[element_wizard]

I could see that, yeah.

[coffeemugsmash]

Dead? Why in all the realms should you be dead? You are the first believe me to be who I say!

[ He is quite happy about this. ]

[coffeemugsmash]

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

[summing_it_up]

–What. Really?

[He looks a bit confused.]

H-how can anyone, y'know, not?

[coffeemugsmash]

Because most mortals do not believe there to be truth in their legends. Much time has passed and many have forgotten them altogether.

[element_wizard]

Are we going to be that lucky? I don't remember.

Still, it'll be nice to meet you.

[summing_it_up]

Oh. I forgot that was even an active factor. Still, that's...sorta lame, to be honest. Then again, this also varies, right? A certain group of people may have forgotten everything, but another group somewhere else still knows about it...

[slyest]

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

[lunging]

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

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

[coffeemugsmash]

You have given this much thought! Tell me, what shall I call you?

[coffeemugsmash]

It is what I have been told. I know not how much will be asked of us before we are through, however I am certain it is a task we will all be capable of.

[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!

[element_wizard]

Considering the amount of books around that possibly need to be fixed... could take hundreds of years. Not that it's a problem for you.

[coffeemugsmash]

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

[slyest]

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

[summing_it_up]

Uhm. Yeah, I...I guess I have.

[Beat.]

I'm...Hiccup.

(Damn it, Loki!)

[coffeemugsmash]

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

(Just hit him, Thor. It'll be easier in the long run.)

[slyest]

So we're talking about words, then. Don't worry, Thor. I'm sure someone can teach you to read while you're there.
