I wish all a happy celebration of the winter solstice!

[He lifts his hammer, whirling it round and round, a storm brewing overhead, but instead of cracking thunder and flashing lightning, a gentle snowfall begins.]

[Charles smiles, looking up at the falling snow.] Absolutely lovely.

[put_the_hammer_down]

I thought it appropriate for the season.

[ihearyouthink]

Very appropriate. [Charles nods, enjoying the scene.] I take it you influence the weather conditions often? [He's seen such things before, but not done with a hammer.]

[put_the_hammer_down]

I have been known to.

[ihearyouthink]

[He holds out a hand of introduction.] Professor Charles Xavier.

[put_the_hammer_down]

[Gives the hand a hearty shake.]

Thor, son of Odin.

[ihearyouthink]

[Good heavens, what a grip. But Charles grins back, glad to have met such a unique individual.] A pleasure, sir. You must forgive my curiosity... [Charles is well educated, of course he's heard of the names Thor and Odin. But never in this type of physical realistic context.] Where are you from?

[put_the_hammer_down]

I am of Asgard.

[There's a little bit of pride in that statement.]

Although I find myself more and more drawn here to Midgard.

[ihearyouthink]

Interesting...Asgard is purported to be a myth contrived by the Vikings of old. Quite a few years ago.

This is not your first visit then?

[put_the_hammer_down]

I assure you, it is as real as you or I. And nay, I have visited Midgard but a few times before. Although I hope to spend a deal more time here

[thelittlestbub]

SNOW! I thought you were totally about the thunder and lightning. I didn't know you could do snow too, Thor.

[put_the_hammer_down]

I am also the god of the storm. Snowstorms included.

[thelittlestbub]

Huh. I hadn't thought about that. I mean, every time I see you, you're usually kicking butt and flinging around Mjollnir at folks.

But hey, that's cool. You do it often?

[put_the_hammer_down]

I do do things other than hit people.

[Although the hitting is the most fun.]

No, not too often. Just when I feel like it.

[thelittlestbub]

Oh, I know. It's just usually when I see you, we're in the thick of things and repelling some invasion or another.

[put_the_hammer_down]

I suppose that is when I am here

[He would hope to spend time on Midgard when things aren't exploding.]

[thelittlestbub]

I keep trying to get Fury to let me go on a day off and take you to Coney Island, but he always says no, because we'll cause an interstellar incident or something.

[And pouting at Fury doesn't work. She knows, she's tried.]

[put_the_hammer_down]

I am not certain of what this Coney Island is, but I think I shall enjoy it, should I ever go there.

[thelittlestbub]

Coney Island's awesome. There are rides and games and food. It's like a great big festival on the ocean. I love going there just to hang out and have fun. I know Cap's been there... before the war and after he woke up.

[surgicalprodigy]

The Mun says thanks, Mr. Hammer dude, but you're a little late.

[put_the_hammer_down]

How am I late? I know the solstice has passed, but my mun had informed me that you celebrate it now.

[surgicalprodigy]

Not my Mun!

[ grin. ]

[put_the_hammer_down]

I take it your mun is of a different faith?

[surgicalprodigy]

Guess so. She's one of those people who are out there on her own, or something. Doesn't identify with any big group.

I don't know about you, but that stuff goes wayy beyond my head!

[put_the_hammer_down]

It is different when you have grown up surrounded by it.
