[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.)]

Would grunting help? I'm told grunting might help.

You are of mortalkind, this land you call your own.

If it is your custom to grunt: you may grunt.

It's not my custom, I'm afraid. Sorry.

[Not of mortalkind either! >:c But, shhhhhhh~]

Think of it as an exchange. Will that suit you? An exchange: a favor for a gift, a gift for a favor.

We are warriors. Our favour is that of defending your home and your people.


[ There's a "feed us" somewhere. ]

This is not my home, and these are not my people.

But that's beside the point.

I guess we're supposed to keep the faithful warriors on retainer when it's peacetime, then.

If... that is custom...


[ If you want to wait on him beck and call, well. Sure. ]

Nah, it's not. I'm just theorizing here.

I do not know your ways and your purpose. But we are no merchants.

Merchants! Okay, now we've got some common vocabulary! Now we can proceed.

No, okay, I guess you're not. But you're gonna have to think like merchants. Unless you want to keep hanging out in the woods like the lady said you were doing. You're gonna need money--you know, money, cash, coin, gold.

Or you could just break into an empty house and start living there. I mean, it's an option.

Or maybe someone will take pity on you in your plight.

Plight - yes. The mortals have given tribute. They are kind.

[ ...because they thought you were hobos, Thor. ]

We thank them. But they must not part with what is needed for their own, when we are yet able.

Noble and benevolent. Truly.
