"No. Once I arrived, I was just told to find you... Once I did, I brought you here... I've been guarding this place ever since, even though he's getting restless..."
A small pause.
"Oh, sorry. We weren't going to talk about him anymore... then, what's your name?"

Contemplating everything she can determine about Jeritza and this 'him' he speaks of, she can only conclude, Something doesn't add up...
"I do not have a name, but my numerical designation is 42. I am, as the number might suggest, one of many gynoids produced by Dr. Ishinomori. My role is to identify, collect, and eventually mimic human emotion as accurately as possible. After following my human companion Steffi here, I'm afraid to say it's been a bit of a... slow path."

"He's gearing up for war."
Whiterun
"Odin's beard... Is this screaming moron bothering you, Sarah?"
Should Sarah and Myth!Thor turn to the source of the voice, they'll notice none other than a newly-arrived GE!Thor
◊ standing nearby, leaning against Stormbringer.
"Hm... in that case, you won't find much of use here... I'm not the most emotive person around..."
A horse's neigh can then be heard. Jeritza sighs.
"I suppose it is feeding time... I'll be right back, though you're free to leave while I'm gone if you want to..."
He then walks to the door leading outside, stepping out.

Sarah turn around and shrug.
Huh, no. Thank you Thor, but I'm just talking to Thor. She says, apparently confused by his demeanor towards the other Thor.
OH HEY OTHER THOR. He just greets.

42 watches Jeritza leave.
She trots over to the closet, leans up against it, and attempts to peer through a crack in the doors.
"He's gearing up for war."
It's too dark to make out any details. However, it's clear there's something inside.

42's eyes light up like flashlights as she opens the closet, just a crack.
She promptly closes it and pretends like nothing happened, though she has suddenly taken interest in the horse Jeritza went out to feed.

"He's gearing up for war."
"Yes, hello there. Tell me, have you thrown any murderous tantrums because someone had the audacity to touch your precious hammer lately?"
GE!Thor picks up his axe.
"Sarah, how the Hel do you even know this war-courting buffoon?"
If she looks outside again, she'll see Jeritza hauling some hay over to the side of the house. Shortly after he passes by the window, there's the sound of the hey being dropped, suggesting that the horse is right outside the door.

42 steps out to watch.
"... Pardon my curiosity, but 'he' is your enemy, isn't he? Something that bides its time and waits until your guard is down to strike."
Edited by KiriK on Feb 18th 2020 at 2:30:54 PM
"He's gearing up for war."
Jeritza turns to look as his dark-colored horse is eating hay.
"... in a way, he's my ally and my enemy at the same time...", Jeritza replies. "But he can be quite forceful in that way, yes..."

"I believe I may have spoken to him. And while I'd like to solve your issues with each other, I'm not a therapist."
42 bows.
"Could I ask you to give him a message for me?"
Edited by KiriK on Feb 18th 2020 at 2:39:46 PM
"He's gearing up for war."
The expression Jeritza shows indicates he doesn't know what a 'therapist' is. He then nods.
"That's not too hard... what should I tell him?"

Divine Burden
NO. DO YOU WANT ME TO LEND IT TO YOU? YOU SEEMS TO HAVE LOST YOURS! He says, eyeing Stormbringer, certainly not impressed with it. DID A FROST GIANT STEAL IT PER CHANCE?
Sarah shrugs, again. She does give the Thor she was talking to a look, as if chiding him, but he just keep staring at Stormbringer.
We met. And he tell me stories of his world and vice-versa. He's a loud guy for sure but I appreciate it. It's pretty funny.

"Tell him about the heroes of Smash. They are warriors, including those from similar worlds to your own and those from very different worlds, who upon death, turn into trophies of themselves. If a living one of them touches another's trophy, the latter can be revived, allowing for the possibility of battles to the death without any lasting consequence. Many times now, they have battled against warriors summoned from cards called Einherjar. I suspect that if he can find a battle with Einherjar, he can find the Smashers."
42 bows again. "Also, I apologize for my initial hostility. To both of you."

"He's gearing up for war."
Jeritza listens intently, though his expression appears a bit strained for a moment.
"... Yes... I will... tell him...", he says. He then appears surprised for a moment by her apology.
"..."
He pats his horse on the head.
"We don't hold it against you..."

"Thank you. Now it's time I took my leave. Good day, Jeritza."
42 twirls around and runs off.
"He's gearing up for war."
Jeritza nods to see her off. Once she's gone, he winces again.
"You're getting too restless... fine... let's go out...", he mutters, after which he steps back inside, heading for his closet...

Rolling his eyes, GE!Thor brings out Mjolnir for him to see before putting his weapons away.
"Bloody idiot..."
He then looks back to Sarah.
"So... you're not at all bothered by the fact that he's a dull-witted brute who cares more about bloodshed and personal glory than anything else?" he inquires. "Or how during the crisis with Galeem and Dharkon, he nearly slaughtered a child - who, mind you, was not in control of her actions at the time - in cold blood for daring to touch his stupid hammer?"
Divine Burden
THIS IS A GREAT TRAGEDY! YOU SHOULD RETRIEVE YOUR HAMMER IMMEDIATELY AND GO FORTH TO JOTUNHEIM BEFORE ITS DEVASTATING POWER CAN BE UNLEASHED FORTH!
Then Thor shows his hammer.
BUT HAVE YOU CHECKED IT THOROUGHLY? THE FIENDS PERHAPS TRICKED YOU. IF YOU WERE TO SWING IT AT A MOST DEADLY FOE ONLY FOR IT TO FALL APART, YOU WOULD BE IN DANGER! CONSULT YOUR SHAMANS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE A MOST FOUL ICE GIANT AMBUSH YOU!
Sarah nods at Thor.
I brought it up but he brushed it off. He's pretty... descriptive though, and I like hearing about world I don't know about.
He's actually pretty fun to talk to. A bit boastful maybe but-
FRIENDS IN MORTAL CULTURE IT IS CONSIDERED MOST RUDE TO TALK ABOUT SOMEONE IN FRONT OF THEM.

"As much I'd love to demonstrate that it's really Mjolnir, you're not worth the bloody effort."
Shaking his head and groaning at Myth!Thor's seeming obliviousness to sarcasm, GE!Thor turns back to Sarah.
"Of course, he brushed it off. His ego's so bloated that he makes my younger self seem almost humble in comparison."
Divine Burden
OH DONT WORRY I CAN ALWAYS WARN YOUR YOUNGER SELF ABOUT THE MOST FIENDISH PLOT TO ENSURE THAT HE WILL NOT FALL VICTIM TO IT YEARS LATER! He says.
He just has a different morality. Not that it erase what he's done of course. She adds. But that's why I kind of gave up on it. Beside, I wouldn't want to disrupt the timeline by...
THIS TIMELINE IS MOST FLUID, VERY MUCH UNLIKE A MOST FIENDISH ENEMY SPINE! IT MOVES ALONG SMOOTHLY REGARDLESS OF INTERFERENCE.
Sarah raises an amused eyebrow but then shake her head.
Oh, you know about the timeline?
YES. I AM A GOD AFTER ALL!
Right... hm, I thought a different god would take care of that.
TIME IS BORING ANYWAY. BUT I SEE ITS FLOW AS EASILY AS I PERCEIVE THE FLOW OF ANY RIVER.
Fallout 2? More like Fallout 2 bad.
"That's not how the bloody timeline works, you war-obsessed cretin! And by the way, I was joking about Mjolnir being stolen!"
Facepalming, GE!Thor turns back to Sarah.
"Between that vicious dullard and his father, Sarah, it's honestly a miracle that their Asgard hasn't fallen to ruin already."
But ENOUGH! ENOUGH ABOUT THE FAT MOM MAN! LET US DISCUSS ABOUT YOUR WORLD, O MIGHTY MAIDEN!
That's a pretty swell name if I say so. She says. Thank you.
I RESPECT THOSE WHO ARE STRONG! AND YOUR HAIR COLOR REMINDS ME OF MINE. HAD I NOT ALREADY MET SIF, AND WERE YOU NOT ALREADY MARIED, I CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE TRIED TO WOO ONE OF YOUR SISTERS OR YOURSELF USING MY COLOSSAL VIRIL CHARMS!
She raises an eyebrow and lean back.
I'm just glad you're not trying to force me into a wedding or something.
AYE! IF THIS DEMO WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN YOUR LOVE, THEN SURELY HE MUST BE OF MOST MIGHTY STATURE!
Thanks, pal. Well, I stop evil, write books, take care of kids, try to have romantic dinner dates, etc.
AH YES MOST GLORIOUS. DO YOU SLAY MANY BIG MONSTERS?!
Not much. I had to punch my evil big sisters from another universe to oblivion recently enough.
SUCH A BATTLE MUST HAVE SHAKEN THE VERY CORE OF THE UNIVERSE!
Yeah it was something.
