You have two more of me, or versions of me, in your head. That concerns me. I hope you have the foresight to know that, if you don't handle this properly, this is as good as a trap. Besides, when are you going to find the time? You can avoid this.

If you're going to continue, here's a piece of advice: don't make me more or less than who I am at this point in time.

Comments

[sorcerous]

Who are you, then? At this point in time.

[tordenen]

I am Thor Odinson. I'm the God of Thunder and Lightning.

[sorcerous]

I asked who, not what.

Though knowing you, perhaps the answers aren't so different.

[tordenen]

Indeed. Why would you think who and what I am would not related? Who am I if it's not about what I can do for this world?

oh fuck coding from the phone

[france]

Oh s'il te plaît, monsieur, you speak as if you are new. Do you not know that it is common to see many different versions of yourself? It is a philosophical curiosity, but it is nothing more than that.

[ Nonchalantly: ] Alors, if the other you is anything like the one I have met, then you should not be so concerned. [ With a hand to his chin: ] He is just very... stubborn.

i saw nothing.

[tordenen]

I know we are reborn with each cycle. This is different. To know that someone like you, but slightly off, existing in the same plane. It takes a while to get used to.

Stubborn is one word for him.

no you didn't

[france]

Reincarnation? [ His fingers stroke over his chin, contemplating this for a moment. ] Je suppose, but that is not what I was speaking of, mon ami. I know the feeling, aaa, ouais, and I know it well. I know a version of myself, versions of myself that are not only different, they are mortal! [ A laugh, as if it's the most ridiculous thing he's ever heard. ] It is absurd, but it is what it is.

Aaa, ouais, c'est vrai. Mais, il est... très mignon. Alor, je pense que c'est bon, tu vois. [ A small smile creep over his lips before he runs his fingers through his hair. ]

Still, even though I am acquainted with you, one of you, I do think it strange, even now, to be speaking with a God. A God that I would have considered to be a heathen God had I the mentality I used to. [ Distantly: ] What a curiosity...

[tordenen]

[France, you are kind of creepy.]

I'm really not interested in other versions. There are too many distractions in life as it is. It's better to focus and prioritize on one reality. [That is, unless, another reality comes to bite them in the ass.] I agree, it is strange as it is, it is.

Heathen isn't quite the word we use now, is it.

[doesthemath]

That's a strange bit of advice. Is there a reason you'd tell them to not make you more? I can certainly understand not wanting to be less...

[tordenen]

More is to imply continuity. And it seems a lot of things change in the future. More than what's already happened.

Besides, there's enough I have to do. I have more than a full plate.

[doesthemath]

[Wanda's recently heard enough of at least one future to not press Thor about his changes in the future.]

Do you? With anything in particular besides speaking to the mundane?

[tordenen]

I wish it were as simple as talk. It's a negotiation. It seems I have to bargain for my rights to any sort of freedom.

[So far he has the rights to his books. In exchange, he's getting shipped to space.]

[checkthetapes]

Aiming a little low, aren't we?

[... this may be said with the same sort of bitterness that someone struck half a dozen times by lightning would employ.

because

well.

for obvious reasons.]

[tordenen]

[Don't tempt him, little man.]

My lows are higher than most.

[checkthetapes]

And not arrogant at all.

[... okay he's actually sort of happy to see him. Not that. anyone would really notice.]

[tordenen]

Are you always so antagonistic?

[They shared booze at the end of that crazy battle, it's as good as saying we're cool now. Stop hating.]

[warrioress]

Think you that such a thing is a risk? To become more than what you are?

Have faith, Thor, that things will balance out.

[tordenen]

It would be an abuse of the power I have if I were to become more.

[Why do you say things that make him miss his brother.] It is about what you said. Balance.

[ex_flyting687]

All these demands.

[tordenen]

Sometimes, demands are the only thing that gets heard.

[ex_flyting687]

That has only ever worked for you.

[tordenen]

No, not always.

Why would you say that?

[trollololoki]

When have you ever had the foresight to not run headlong into a trap? It sounds like the perfect match.

[tordenen]

[Hello brother, how's your head?]

Do you have anything good to say or do you just like hearing yourself talk?

[trollololoki]

[Strangely, having a hammer crash down on it is not as eternally damaging as one might expect. :|a]

You've become disillusioned with me? An excellent start, brother. This new wariness should serve you better than that trust in your team-mates ever did.
