[mjolnir_time]

CHARACTERS: Thor Odinson & Anyone
LOCATION: Oxygen Gardens
WARNINGS: None for now.
SUMMARY: Thor is exploring the ship and found his way to the gardens.


level one

[The cold, mechanical atmosphere of the ship has become somewhat oppressive. Thor is not used to living in such sterile surroundings.

He had heard that there were gardens on board, and decided to see for himself. However, when he finally locates and enters the gardens, the vast room he finds is not at all what he expected. There is plant life, but there is also the ever-present technology, keeping it all running.

He wanders down various pathways, gazing at the various plants and their attendant machines with obvious confusion, but also great interest.]



level three

[The overgrown wilderness of the upper levels is more what Thor was hoping to find. The hum of the ship is still there, but it's muffled by the greenery and plant life. He finds a small clearing and sits, leaning against a tree with his eyes closed.

Of course he never could remain still for long. Eventually he sits up straighter, taking Mjolnir into his hands. There has been a strangeness to the hammer ever since he arrived on board, and he wants to try calling its power, in a small, very controlled way.

After a few long moments of concentration, he succeeds in calling sparks to the hammer's head. He only holds them there for a moment before letting the gathered energy dissipate harmlessly. The frown on his face seems to indicate that the attempt was not as successful as he would have liked.]

level three.

[wolfchild]

[ it was nymeria who noticed first with a sudden tension and bristling, the wolf sensing something the girl cannot. arya follows her line of sight to the man. her brow furrows in confusion.

getting to her feet, she decides to move closer. she walks on feet quiet as a shadow, the direwolf treading loyally behind her. once close enough that she can see well the hammer in his hands, she stops. ]

What are you doing?

[ryuuzaki]

[L's interest in the Oxygen Gardens, insofar as it becomes personal, is mostly related to fruit. He can get it in the kitchens, true, but he feels compelled to acquire his own now and then. It's a handful of berries here, an apple there... more than anything, it's a way to improve his days, which are usually either boring or overtly unpleasant.

The man who comes into view is large, blond, and healthy, and L remembers that his name is Thor Odinson of Asgard--he had introduced himself as such to the elves. That means that he may not be a man in the strict sense of the word, which makes him interesting.

He doesn't look precisely like the Thor from Stark's memories, but there's a resemblance nonetheless.]

You look confused.

[Confused, but full of wonder.]

level three

[theswordofthejedi]

[Having been on spaceships since before she was even born, Jaina's more than comfortable with them. She feels far more at home on a ship than most planets, truth be told. However, on this particular ship, something is interfering with her connection with the Force. The interference isn't keeping her from accessing it at all but it's definitely noticeable. Especially when she tries to meditate. It's during those moments that the humming of the foreign technology begins to grate on her senses, reminding her that she's not home and may never see home again, until her skin is itching and she's so far removed from meditating that it isn't even funny.

Except for in the gardens. Here, Jaina's found that she can find at least a sliver of peace and although that peace doesn't allow her full connection with the Force to return, it does let her find her center and calm her raging emotions and thoughts. It works even better the higher up she goes.

Most times, she's in and out of the place by the time others arrive. This time, however, she senses the approach of someone and turns her attention to the guy in time to see his mostly unsuccessful experiment. She isn't sure if he's spotted her from where she's perched, partially obscured by various overgrowth, but she calls out to him in a sympathetic voice anyway.]

Not working the way you're expecting, I'm guessing?

[She feels your pain, Thor. Big time.]

level one

[coffeeking]

[Myfanwy, as usual, is flying freely about the gardens, enjoying the scents and sounds. When she perches (with surprising grace) on a tree nearby, she pays little mind to the new person down below, similar as he is to all the others. Instead, she begins grooming herself lightly with her beak.]

[culver]

[As on most days, the first place Nill goes after waking up and Heine has gone on patrol is to the gardens. Dog and Horse are in the clearing where she left them--it makes her happy that they never wander far. Or, if they do, they always come back to wait for her. Dog barks happily when he sees her, and her wings flick behind her, a smile crossing her face. She kneels, giving the animal a thorough rub behind his ears before pulling a bone from the pocket of her dress. It will keep him occupied while she exercises Horse.

The blonde leaves the dog to his treat and toes off her shoes beside him--they won't go anywhere, she's sure. It's easier to ride Horse without those silly shoes anyway.

The bay tosses his head when she approaches. His bridle is on the same stump where she'd left it, and he patiently allows her to put it on him. His saddle remains where it is--she doesn't really like using it when they're just exercising. It's just too difficult for her to put it on him alone. Nill uses the stump to boost herself and her wings for balance, and soon enough she and Horse are on their way through the jungle, Dog casually trotting behind them.

When they break into the next clearing, Horse snorts and slows when he sees that it's already occupied. Nill had been paying less attention, riding lazily, and it takes her a moment to realize what's happening. Her wings flare behind her in surprise, and all she does is stare at the man who looks... vaguely familiar. She brings Horse to a true stop and Dog wags his tail, bounding towards the stranger.]

level three

[allfatherissues]

[There's the quick, rhythmic sound of someone -- something -- running towards where Thor lies seated. Only a second later a large black wolf can be seen in the distance... and closing that distance relatively quickly, fangs flashing in the artificial light.

Growing near enough, he'll leap forward and attack with his jaws. You know, just to keep things lively, truce or otherwise. It's a prerequisite to annoying little brothers to be... well, annoying. And it's a prerequisite for Loki to not always be kind to Thor in greeting after all is said and done.

So one can only hope you're on your guard, Thor! Loki's sure to punish you if you're not.]
