On possibly sending him to gargleblasted

[coolestguyaround]

Let me get this straight, mun. You're thinking about sending me to a place that will tell me that my world has been destroyed, and where I probably won't know anybody there? Do you even know anybody at the game? Yeah, I didn't think you did.

Dude, this isn't cool. Not cool at all.

Many people come to this place knowing no one. But the people are very friendly.

[coolestguyaround]

That's good to know. Plus, it doesn't look like me being what I am is going to cause a problem. [Not having to deal with all the anti-mutant sentiment would be a welcomed experience.]

Anything else I should know about the place?

[mjolnir_time]

That is true. There are so many different beings here, any unusual abilities you may have will scarcely be noticed.

Hmm. Expect to be required to take on some very unusual tasks for employment. Either the Guide or your mun will no doubt find amusement is signing you up for things you are totally unsuited for.

[coolestguyaround]

Employment? Wait, are you saying that I'd have to get a job? [Such a scary thought for this lazy 18 year old.]

[He gives a small smile] I don't suppose being a superhero is among the options of possible jobs I could get, right?

[mjolnir_time]

It was strange to me as well, but it is necessary for food and lodging. [Try being a prince who has never had to "work" his entire very long life.]

I have not seen any missions for superheroes. Is that your profession?

[coolestguyaround]

[Poor Thor.]

I guess you could say that. I'm part of a team called the X-men. Maybe you've heard of us? [Probably not.]

Anyway, it's kind of a full time thing. You never know when a mutant might need help, or when the Brotherhood will decide to attack.

[mjolnir_time]

Ah. I have no knowledge of this group, but apparently my mun has a few of your teammates wandering around here in her headspace.

This sounds like a role that would suit me more than some of the missions on the ship.

... And now my mun is saying something about "just wait until May", whatever that means.

[coolestguyaround]

Really? For her sake, I hope one of them isn't Wolverine. Not that I have anything against the guy, but nobody should be that angry all the time. He'd give any mun a headache.

Uh, do you have "special" abilities, too? Not that you need them to be a superhero, but it certainly seems to help.

[mjolnir_time]

I have abilities that the mortals of Earth do not, if that is what you mean by special?

I am Thor, son of Odin, God of Thunder and wielder of the mighty Mjolnir!

[coolestguyaround]

Yeah, I think that would qualify as special.

It's nice to meet you, Thor.

I'm Bobby, son of William, god of video games, and wielder of the mighty Snowball. [Bobby thinks he's being funny here.]

[mjolnir_time]

[Well the mun laughed. Thor takes it all seriously.]

I am pleased to meet you, son of William. What kind of weapon is Snowball?

[coolestguyaround]

Uh, Snowball is really just a regular snowball. I was kind of making a joke there. [Now the guy thinks you're lame, Drake. Nice job.]

I actually have the ability to make ice using the water vapor in the air. I can create all kinds of weapons and other cool things out of ice, including snowballs. Not that I go around pelting the bad guys with snowballs or anything. [Well, not anymore.]

[mjolnir_time]

[He's getting an odd look after that statement.]

I did not realize there were people on Earth with that ability. I have only seen the Frost Giants manipulate ice in this way.

[coolestguyaround]

That's because I'm the only one around. Want a demonstration?

[Never being one to pass up a chance to impress people with his ability, Bobby quickly gets to work before Thor can answer. He concentrates and starts to freeze the air around him to create what he has in mind. Within mere moments, there's an almost identical life-sized statue of Thor made out of ice standing beside Bobby.]

[Bobby gives him a huge grin and jerks his thumb towards the statue.] Pretty cool, huh?

[mjolnir_time]

It is very impressive. You were able to add such detail to it.
