[A short clip, unintentional; a brave NPC seems to think Sif is his designated partner for the tango, so he catches her on her way home from a stroll. Starting position is as far as he goes.]

Refrain. [Afterwards, the device seemingly falls to the ground; the sounds of a struggle follow, albeit a pacific one, and then hurried steps: someone running away. The feed turns off.]

AUDIO; PUBLIC

[Not even five minutes later; there's only the silence the interior of a home can offer, and her clipped tone.] I do not dance. Just to make it clear.

Whether I can or cannot is an entirely different matter, but the important detail here is that I choose not to. Your Midgardian dances are strange and the hands of men who have imposed a dance on me thus far get too clammy for my tastes.

If this is a curse, I will await its ending where I do not risk offense. I advise whoever intends to visit to heed my warning.

[The feed ends.]

[ooc; Very unaffected.]

Dinner and a movie with the Goddess of War? Well played Bruce Banner. Your game, as it were, is certainly not lacking as some would suggest, but rather subtle. Refined.

[hulkbusted]

My...

Don't you have a bedtime to get to?

[doeswhathewants]

Should you wed her- ah, I think you would have to best her in battle first, but that appears not to be a problem with your greener half- you could feast of the golden apples and become Bruce Banner, Husband of Sif, God of Felonious Assault and Property Damage.

Truly, I marvel that your approach won her over. Treat her well, she is as a sister to me.

[hulkbusted]

Can you pick someone else to mess with? It's trying really hard to go from sandwiches and curse watching to betrothal.

[doeswhathewants]

You are an expert in Aesir betrothal rites? Never assume about the culture of another. [Clucking his tongue.]

[asofwar]

Serrure. I will have a chat with Mindy regarding your opinion of her face.

[doeswhathewants]

I was only complimenting Bruce on his skill at winning a meal with you. Special sandwiches and all.

[asofwar]

Ah ah, you cannot spin your words now, it is too late.

I think I might do it on Monday morning during training......

[doeswhathewants]

Think about it, Sif, the best of both worlds. Bruce Banner's quick intelligence and tender Midgardian nature as well as the Hulk's ability to level things with a smash. And lacking in arrogance.

Should this work out, I shall require an apology.

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

Wait. Hang on. What did you say? What did he say about my face?

[doeswhathewants]

I only said that you are perfect, beautiful, lovely- if only you would let me fix that little thing about your nose.

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

[Oh, no you didn't.] My nose is fine. It's a battle scar.

[She's mad. And trying to not yell.]

[doeswhathewants]

It was a jest. A jest. Mostly.

Did you break it? Mortal healing does lack.

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

Mostly? Define 'mostly'.

I did. A couple times. And it was all worth it.

[doeswhathewants]

Well, that is all that matters, then, is it not?

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

Well, now I don't know. The guy older me has a crush on thinks my nose needs changing.

[See, she's just being bitchy, now.]

I'm not sure how to handle this.

[infernoandhearth]

Oh, hallo. Maybe you'll be so lucky as to swap with me again. The offer still stands: especially so now. Did you even take advantage of it the last time.

[hulkbusted]

Did I ask for your input?

[infernoandhearth]

Have you ever asked for my input? I'm still giving it. As I gave you a chance to do whatever you wanted. Ought I to have sent someone along? I did look like you, there is always bait and switch...

Private

[hulkbusted]

Stop. Now. You're as bad as Loki.

Private

[infernoandhearth]

Oh, probably. It doesn't change the fact you've not slept with anyone for five years. [Wait...] Does the Hulk come out for wanking? I would have checked but you forbade me.

Private

[hulkbusted]

We are not having this discussion.

Private

[infernoandhearth]

Well, I'm TRYING to. You're not being very helpful. What if I turned into a woman?

Private

[hulkbusted]

[See Bruce's eyes get very wide before the connection is terminated.]

Text Message / email / whatever Bruce has

[infernoandhearth]

A lady Hulk?
