NINTH SUN; sometimes you've just got to be obvious

[thermonuclear_birdbrain]

Finally figured out this voice-to-writing thing. Neat.

Any other demons here in the City?  Anyone who likes fire? Anyone who can use fire magic? Anyone who knows anything about nuclear fusion and what I can do with it here?

Drop in and say hi.

NOT HERE

[silvering]

[Jem is taking note of the demons as the show.]

[favoritetraitor]

... 'what you can do with' nuclear fusion?

[thermonuclear_birdbrain]

Yeah. Apparently you can use it to make lightning so machines run, but I don't know how to build a place that does that. Usually I just fight people with it and keep Hell hot.

[mortemscintilla]

N-Nuclear fusion?

[thermonuclear_birdbrain]

Yeah. Pushing atoms together so they make new ones. I'm not sure what an atom is, but I definitely know how to put them together, and it blows up everything in the area.

I've got a big cannon that creates suns.

[mortemscintilla]

That's a lot of power, Miss.

[ Innocently, ]

Have you ever tried directing it to the City's barrier? [ He doubts it'd make much of a difference, but no harm in asking. ]

[thermonuclear_birdbrain]

No, haven't tried it yet. I can give it a shot if you want! Maybe it'll freak out the gods a bit.

[mortemscintilla]

[ Huh. Well, at least she's open to suggestions. ]

You never know. It might. [ Again, he doubts it, but it's no skin off his nose to let her try. ] They could use a little, um, 'freaking out' themselves after the awful curses they throw at everyone.

...you stand demon?

audio;

[thermonuclear_birdbrain]

I'm a demon, yeah. Well, a youkai that lives in Hell, so that's basically a demon. I keep the fires hot and help Hell run. I'm not just some youkai that crawls around in the woods!

Who're you?

audio;

[subecho]

Often, the demon slayer.

audio;

[thermonuclear_birdbrain]

Heh, demon slayer. Come get me if you really want to fight me! I'm always up for a challenge!

audio;

[subecho]

What is your want with humans?

audio;

[thermonuclear_birdbrain]

What do I want with humans? Eh, usually I see their souls. The evil ones come to us and get burned. That's just how it works.

They're pretty tasty too. I prefer mine fried.

audio;

[subecho]

Then hunger will find you.

These humans fall under protection. You cannot claim them.

audio;

[thermonuclear_birdbrain]

I hear they can't die, anyway. Though that's an interesting point, if they don't die, then I guess that's more food for any youkai around, right? If you just come back, then you can't get permanently eaten and die.

Who's protecting them, you?

audio;

[subecho]

The right lies with me.

audio;

[thermonuclear_birdbrain]

Ha, all right. There's always a couple who try that, it seems. So who're you?

audio;

[subecho]

Thor of Asgard. Defender of Midgard and all mortals who people it.

Stay your hunger with crops and animals.

audio;

[thermonuclear_birdbrain]

Thor, okay. Never heard of a name like that.

Uh...are you new here? We're all from different worlds, or most of us anyway, so you're just in the same boat as everyone else. You're a long way from home, so settle in a bit.

You want to spar even if I don't do something you don't like? Because I've been looking for people with magic to fight. Most of the humans here don't have it.

[subecho]

I've better uses for my time than idle fare. Find playmate elsewhere.

[valentineluke]

I'm afraid the nuclear fusion has probably been restricted from full power.

Enjoying your time with the musclebound nit?

[thermonuclear_birdbrain]

Huh? Why?

(Filtered)

No, not at all. He's kind of an idiot. What's Midgard, why should I care, and why shouldn't we just eat him?

[valentineluke]

Too strong of power is capped here. Puts a damper on potential uprisings.

Norse (European) god. He and the other two, Sif and Loki, hail from the same homeworld. They bear little resemblance to my world's versions, hence why I won't willingly follow them.

Kind of?! When he was here previously, some of his 'hobbies' included bellowing, repeatedly,
and being a laughingstock.

[thermonuclear_birdbrain]

...Well that's convenient I guess. Keeps the gods in power here...but what if there's a lot of us?

(Filtered)

Oh, so he's a god from not-Japan, okay. Wow. Lame god, really. Big meathead with a hammer. I'm not really known for my dodging, but where I come from, anyone who's anyone can get out of the way of a hammer.

[valentineluke]

Far easier to herd cats.

So long as a brain isn't paired with his brawn, he's little more than a bull.
