[So, Sif has had the device figured out for a while now, but she's been too busy being stubbornly independent and also camping out in the forest with Thor because rent, what is that; Aesir don't pay rent. But she's had about enough after almost a week of hunting and fishing and sleeping on grass. She's a lady, too.

So, she uses the device to broadcast to whomever gets the message - everyone, as it turns out.]

My greetings, people of this strange land. I am the Lady Sif, of Asgard.

[From somewhere behind her, further into the forest, come the sounds of a serious struggle, a fight between beast and man. She continues nonpulsed.]

Though the forest here offers plenty of sustenance, there comes a time when sleeping under the stars is less reminiscent of youth's days long past, and more closely resembling an unnecessary sacrifice.

[She's making an effort to ignore the sounds of wrestling behind them, still.] I would be grateful for any information on what one needs to do for a warm bed and a warm meal in this place. There is no need to specify the rest - I know that you call this the City, a helpful mortal told me, just as he told me there was no way out. [A beat; she almost looks displeased there, but she's walked it off.]

If we must linger here until we find our exit, then I would not have us do it in the wild. We are civilized. [A wild roar interrupts, follows by laughter. Sif sighs.] Now excuse me, for I must go and finish off dinner.

[ooc; If you've guessed that it's Thor wrestling a bear somewhere, it's because he is. He is wrestling the bear, for salmon. (Permisson from player, et all.) Anyway - give some Aesir a loving home, City? (Loki need not apply.)]

Money. That's what one needs: money.

[asofwar]

And how does one get that?

[coldchaos]

You've spent the past week in the woods? Fighting animals off for their food?

[The corners of his mouth twitch up like he wants to laugh. Then his nose wrinkles.]

I cannot even imagine the smell of you both. How savage and uncivil the Aesir are.

[asofwar]

Yes. Lest you have forgotten, Silvertongue, you used to do this as well.

[Get off your high chair.]

More uncivil of you to sniff us.

action? bear?? idek???

[subecho]

[ WASTE NO WORRY, Sif, for the mighty Thor returns... from the bushes.

And he brings along a very dazed bear on a makeshift leash, crafted from his own belt. ]

A hard fight.

[ ...he's trying for a smile aimed at the bea, but it seems half his face is no longer. Quite. Operational. From all the bruising. ]

Did you not think so, friend?

[ The bear is apparently too busy pondering its life and its choices to reply. ]

action bear

[asofwar]

Do not form bonds with the wildlife, Thor. [We're already being thought of as savages by your brother.

She doesn't care about her rep if it's Loki who judges it, but come on how is he classyer right now??]

Could you not have fished elsewhere? Or simply slain it?

Hello, Lady Sif. I'm Captain Steve Rogers of Earth.

[It's a stupid greeting but it's what he's got.]

[asofwar]

[We come in peace.]

Captain Steve Rogers.

[Have one Charlie who really wishes you remembered being here. But, oh well.]

Hello, Lady Sif. I'm Charlie. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[Let's start over, little cub :c]

Charlie - greetings and well met.

Some may find you pretty enough if you have no other skills.

[asofwar]

Beauty is not a skill.

[deadmanbusiness]

[Have an amused necromancer with an undead rat on his shoulder.]

You could always build a cabin in the woods.

[asofwar]

Ah - one does not use Mjolnir for that.

video; 1/2

[subecho]

One does not use mighty Mjölnir for -

[subecho]

...Sif, do not steal word.

[anunluckypenny]

If you guys need someplace to stay that's not outside, I can help with that.

Um. No bears, though. Sorry.

[asofwar]

Alas, the loss would be great but one will live.

To whom do I owe gratitude?

video;

[subecho]

Apologies, but we cannot leave one of our own behind.

( Video )

[confined_to_briah]

It's nice to see a woman who can take care of herself.

( Video )

[asofwar]

Then be sure not to lose sight.

[mortemscintilla]

[ Not sure if smitten or terrified. ]

[ Terrified. ]

[ Definitely terrified. ]

...Wh-what's that noise?

[subecho]

[ From somewhere in the woods beyond - ]

Man and animal in -

[ The bear roooooaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrs. ]

- great kinship!

[yourbestguysgun]

[ He hates when people can't remember. Especially as Thor ( and by extension Sif ) had been almost good friends. ]

Anyone direct you to the welcome center yet?

( v i d e o )

[asofwar]

[Bucky. Bucky. Do you want the salmon too.]

One has not, no.

'People of this strange land.'

[So sue him, he's disappointed.]

[asofwar]

Did I insult?

[Don't worry, doctah, don't worry. Eventually she'll need stitches from bear. Or Loki.]

[thermonuclear_birdbrain]

Hey, Sif.

Uh...well, since you're not human and all, you could stay in the Temple if you wanted. It's got a nice magical signature, feels a lot like back home for me, but I don't know where you're from.

...
...
Oh hey, you guys are hunting? I can help.

[She wouldn't look like she could hunt, except she has big black wings that mark her as non-human, and a pretty sizeable cannon on her arm that has smoke licking out of its barrel...]

Re: video;

[asofwar]

I am of Asgard, as stated.

[She looks back into the forest, before returning her gaze to the screen.] It appears the hunt was no hunt at all. Would that it were, there would be less mouths to feed.

[monochrome_mirror]

The Welcome Center can house you until you find a more permanent place.

[She'll send over a map with it marked!]

Hopefully your stay here will be swift and simple, Sif-san. But...what is that sound?

[asofwar]

I have been informed.

The sound of man and bear, struggling for nourishment.

And I thank you, but - san?
