ten_fwd | 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.)

Magneto is likewise on autopilot. He doesn't have many 'friends' - he almost never has. He'd learned young not to get too attached. There's people he's fond of, certainly, but only one or two he'd call a friend.

The rest. They are almost-friends. Maybe-friend. A something. A possibility.

And one of those found himself with new responsibilities. Coupled with the local brass arriving and he was feeling something. He didn't like change, this was true, tended to regard it with suspicion but there was a feeling of unease he couldn't shake.

Old man you are being paranoid, he couldn't help but think. And it was in this state trying to talk himself into forcibly relaxing that he came 'round a bend of a corridor. A tug on his senses drew his head up, sharply.

Mjolnir. Thor. Another possibility. At least one he somewhat understood. "Thor. How are you finding the ship?" It wasn't polite, idle chitchat to take his mind off his current feeling on unsettlement, but genuine curiosity.

Thor smiled to see the man, and raised a hand in greeting, like he would to a warrior, not the shake a Midgardian would make. "My friend! It is a good place, for a prison. I find myself wishing for blue skies sometimes, and the smell of rain, or for the practice fields of Asgard, and the sight of the City Eternal. Either way, those places are not here, and sometimes it wears on me."

Nonetheless, he nodded to the other. "And you, have you found this place a good temporary home?"

Magneto returns the greeting - it's mirrored, not cultural. He understands the meaning, and he'd grateful for it. "It is not home." He can and does agree, wholeheartedly. "I miss the stars and planets I am used to. The poles, the weather I know." Though he wouldn't have called the ship a prison.

"It is good." It's a break which he needed. There aren't the strong reminder of the loss of Genosha, which he knew there would be at home. The lingering scars of the nuclear weapons used would last for a long time. "I do find myself longing to take a walk or a flight, but I think I'd terrify our hosts."

He was still temped to do it.
