A Wandering Thor appears!

(In the few hours after this)

Today has been a day of odd occurrences, and just enough of them to make Thor thoughtful. The arrival of the new strangers, and the conversation had with one of said strangers, had made Thor remember Orange County, a lot, and the feeling one would get there, right before something very odd had happened. Like an alien invasion, or half of Anaheim becoming Wonderland, or evil twins showing up, or even sex-swaps happening. That feeling would not leave Thor, now, like an itch at the back of his mind, and a prickling of his the hair on the back of his neck. Something odd was up.

For Thor, it had been a truth that if he got this feeling, if a day like today happened, then it meant that something odd this way came. And usually, something not very nice, really. His hand had been on Mjolnir more than not, not really because he wanted to use it, but because he had a feeling he might need it. Maybe. He sighed. Maybe he was just getting old. Having been in a coma as long as he had, and having the memories and physiology that he did, he would not doubt that.

It didn't help his feeling of something odd that he was feeling a bit run down. He normally didn't get tired. At all.

And now he was a little. Odd. This perhaps made his thinking a wee bit muddled. And so he was wandering, thinking, and passing through the ship almost on autopilot.




(ooc: Okay, dokay! Here, have an infected Thor, but not yet Kiddified, wandering the ship. Feel free to have yours encounter him in any of the open areas, from turbolifts to the shops. remember that skin contact is necessary to pass the infection, so that will need to happen if you want your pup to catch it from Thor. Slowtimed tags and backtags are more than welcome, and placeholders are fine, as well, if you don't have time for a thread right now.)

"Good. There is a flower that grows on the highest part of Asgard, where little else will grow, far from the city. It is gold and blue, and it shimmers with energy that is unlike anything else. It is said if you journey to it, and in the shadow of the peak, you eat it's leaves, you will be cured of anything, up to and including fatal wounds."

Thor smiled.

"Many have tried, almost no one has ever gotten there."

[whereishe]

Yuna looked at him curiously. "Doesn't fatal mean it'd kill you? How would you climb a mountain with a fatal wound?"

It was an interesting story and had Yuna been in Asgard she'd have tried it, if only to see the flower.

[thepowerofthor]

"Yes it does. The people of Asgard are more hardy than those of other realms. Asgardians can often retain full vitality right up until the moment of death."

He rubbed his chin, the tiredness slowly growing in him.

"I have often wondered what it would be like to go see it."

[whereishe]

Yuna stood next to him with her hands lightly reaching out towards one of the plants. "Why don't you? When you get home."

Death and injuries on her world were very different. They could heal those who died if they are able to do so before their soul leaves their bodies.

She looked over at him curiously. "Are you sure you aren't tired?"

[thepowerofthor]

"I might, if I ever get there again."

Thor grinned at her. "Oh I am tired, and even more now that I'm sitting down. Maybe you were right. I should go back to my room and sleep."

Thor rose, slowly, and nodded.

[whereishe]

Yuna shook her head and smiled. "You think you'll make it?"

She watched him curiously feeling a little bit tired herself. Perhaps his sleepiness was rubbing off on her.

[thepowerofthor]

"I will." He smiled and clapped her shoulder gently. "Perhaps it is naptime, yes?" He grinned and started off toward his quarters.

Yuna watched him go deciding to stay a little longer among the flowers. She sat down on the bench looking at the plants with a smile.
