(no subject)

[mjolnir_retriever]

Thor's in the bar, wearing his Security badge pinned to his truly hideous embroidered poncho-thing, nursing a tankard of mead and surveying the bar with an expression that falls somewhere between amused and sympathetic.

...More amused, admittedly. But he's sympathetic too! Inconvenience is rough, buddy.

X is sitting at the same table, with a root beer float. And a purple curly straw. And her own Security badge.

(Speaking of inconvenience, there's a handcuff attached to his wrist. It's dangling freely; the other cuff is attached to nothing except a couple of bloodstains, most of which he wiped off on his cloak.

This might have something to do with the fact that X spends a couple of minutes drinking her float while placidly holding her hand on. Only a couple of minutes, though! Healing factors are efficient for problem-solving.)

[OOC: Two muns, two characters! Say whether you want to talk to X or Thor or both. Thor-mun may not be up for too many threads at once, though.]

"You have met Deadpool?" X asks, after taking another sip from her curly straw.

"Here."

[mjolnir_retriever]

Hmm. Name doesn't ring a bell, including from Security's internal notices. Thor swallows his gulp of mead.

"No."

"Nor elsewhere," he adds. Just in case! Since her world has a Thor, and she did specify.

[cutting_edgex23]

"That is probably good."

She exhales.

"I like him. Most people do not."

Sadly.

(Or, you know. Not sadly.)

[mjolnir_retriever]

...Huh.

"Why?"

To either half. Or both.

She can always not answer, of course, but she also broached this subject. So.

[harryhotspur]

Harry bursts into the bar from outside, and offers Thor a wave as he passes.

--and oh, hey, that's--

--he tries to look a little less tousled and mud-stained as he offers X a bow. Serious, responsible adult right here, one who definitely doesn't look like he just came back from tramping around in the dirt.

[mjolnir_retriever]

Thor stifles all his amusement at the hasty uptick in formality (and attempted uptick in non-scruffiness). Which is pretty easy, really, despite his lack of much poker face, because he does approve of due honor and respect being paid to X.

Anyway, he lifts his hand in a wave back. And inclines his head at the bow, even though it's really to X, because that's just what you do. Hey there, Harry Henryson Percy!

[cutting_edgex23]

"Harry," X says, because that is polite.

"Hello."

Beat.

"You are looking for Thor?"

[harryhotspur]

"O, I had no errand," Harry says. "I did but--" His eye catches the bloodied handcuff. "--what--?"

[is_the_motion]

"This some sorta team buildin' exercise?" Bonnie asks, peering at them from down the bar.

[cutting_edgex23]

"I do not think so," X says, a little dubiously.

"You think that would be effective?"

[mjolnir_retriever]

"None of our doing, if so," Thor provides, amiably.

Hello, probably-human probably-woman he hasn't met yet! (Look, Thor tries not to assume too much of gender, but it's hard when nobody around here uses patronymics to make things clear.)

[is_the_motion]

"Eh, we don't really have team buildin' in my time, you just get on with it." Bonnie grins. "But hey, maybe it'd catch on!"

[not_his_pa]

(OOC: I'm good for brief both, whatever works for you.)

William's been busy on the ranch and when he sees all the handcuffs, he searches for someone on Security.

Seeing Thor with handcuffs doesn't seem right, "Did a lot of folks get in trouble?"

[mjolnir_retriever]

"Only with some prankster of Milliways," Thor says cheerfully.

Possibly the landlord! Possibly Bar! Possibly someone else! Who even knows, around this place. And it doesn't seem malicious or dangerous, so whatever.

"Security hasn't shackled anyone publically."

He's not saying they wouldn't ever, if it seemed like the best cell alternative for everyone concerned, but it seems sort of awkward and pointless to him. Just give them annoying manual labor if you're gonna do that.

[cutting_edgex23]

"I would be busy," X allows.

"If that many people had been. Problematic."

It's like reassurance!

[not_his_pa]

"Yes, it would be messy. Oh, least it ain't gettin' turned into somethin',"

This just seems really inconvenient.

(for both! and/or mostly X?)

[tu_vas_triompher]

To the best of the mun's recollection, Feuilly hasn't met X. He recognizes Thor, though, and after a certain amount of uncertain dithering he steers in the direction of the table, ready to keep walking over to the bar if Thor doesn't meet his eye or greet him.

(...Is it possible to give character references for Security applicants? Is it advisable? Can he do it in a way that's, you know, not weird or anything but conveys his confidence in Harry Percy's abilities?)

Re: (for both! and/or mostly X?)

[mjolnir_retriever]

Hello, Feuilly! Do you recognize the distinctively, uh, creative handiwork on this poncho-thing?

Anyway, Thor nods to him with a ready smile of greeting. He doesn't wave, because that's not much of an Asgardian thing and Feuilly didn't wave first, but there's definitely a certain air of hey man, join us if you want.

On general principles of sociability, mostly. But Feuilly does kind of look like he wants to say something in particular. Maybe?

Re: (for both! and/or mostly X?)

[cutting_edgex23]

X looks up and meets Feuilly's gaze.

(It is entirely possible he smells like Hotspur, and vice versa. Shockingly.)

"Hello."

Beat.

"You can sit. If you want."

Both!

[evil_koala_626]

"Gaba?"

Have a bout of querying snuffling, guys. It may be in regards to the handcuffs. Or the blood. Or whether X is going to finish all that ice cream.

Re: Both!

[cutting_edgex23]

"We are okay," X says promptly, taking her half-finished float and handing it over.

For you, Stitch!

She removes the curly straw first, however.

He probably does not want that. (Or need it?)

Re: Both!

[mjolnir_retriever]

He might want to eat it, though.

"Merely a prank of this place," Thor says, easy and unconcerned.

Hi Stitch! Good to see you, dude.

He gestures to a waitrat, and glances at his friends -- anybody want another round?

[52_dropoff]

Charlie peers down at X from his favorite rafter. "I see you solved your handcuff problem?" Yeah, he's been, er, observing.

[cutting_edgex23]

X looks up, head tilting very slightly.

"Yes."

Beat.

"It was not difficult."

[52_dropoff]

"Not for you. Though that guy you were attached to is still attached." Charlie leaps down. "To the cuffs at least. Shouldn't you help him get loose entirely?"
