Something like that.

[Whether Loki would ever call himself a name like that is doubtful. Yet he's more adept at magic and spells, so the billing fits well enough.]

It's a bit of both, really. I miss having it.

What other magic can you do?

[noprophecies]

They did not let you have here? I'm not surprised.

[it's a bit sarcastic, but sympathetic as well. They always took weapons away, those Atroma cowards.

She gets that question a lot, but it's always hard to put it into words. Her lips purse thoughtfully]

Most of my spells are nature-based; fire, ice, earth, things like that. Some here refer to it as elemental magic. I'm also adept in defensive magic and some healing.

[rebuildyourruins]

No, they did not.

It sounds quite varied.

[noprophecies]

I would be a terrible mage if they weren't.

[rebuildyourruins]

You wouldn't want to be stuck with only one type, no. Spellcraft was never something I did much of.

[noprophecies]

Mm, not particularly. What is it that you do, then? If not spellcraft.

[rebuildyourruins]

I fight with weaponry - the hammer, to be specific. Though I have trained in more than that.

[noprophecies]

A . . . hammer. [...] As in - the tool used for building?

[rebuildyourruins]

No, it's more of a warhammer.

[noprophecies]

Oh! My apologies, of course. I am so used to - modern things that I forget there are those who use proper weapons. Though I've not seen a warhammer before . . .

[rebuildyourruins]

It's fine. The Atroma thought it funny to gift me with the other kind.

[He promptly threw the offending nail hammer into a wall. It wasn't very satisfying.]

Warhammers are much larger, with the heads being more substantial compared to the handle. Regular war hammers have longer handles than my own, as they are meant to be swung with both hands.

[noprophecies]

That's rude of them. I hope you told them off, as loudly as you could.

[that's how Tempest handles that stuff, anyway]

So you can swings yours with just one? You must be quite powerful.

[rebuildyourruins]

I did.

[Yelling at the sky is a pastime of his already.]

I am; it took a bit of practice to get right. But it is the exact right weight to do it that way.

[noprophecies]

The exact, hm? You must have quite a good blacksmith, then.

[rebuildyourruins]

[He smiles a bit, amused.]

They were at that.

My name is Thor.

[noprophecies]

I am Tempest. Well met, Thor.

[...] I would offer a hand to shake but as you can see, I am a little short-handed at the moment.

[rebuildyourruins]

[He looks at her arm again, then shrugs.]

No matter. I can shake your other hand.

[And he holds out his left hand. Problem solved!]

[noprophecies]

[she blinks a bit in surprise, then grins and holds out her left]

My joke went right over your head, didn't it.

[rebuildyourruins]

I couldn't tell if you were serious or not.

[He reaches out and shakes her hand with a grin.]

So I took it seriously.

[noprophecies]

I suppose in a way it was both. [she shakes his hand, her own grin widening]

You are with the fleet, yes? Are you new?

[rebuildyourruins]

I am, on the Blue Fish. I suppose I am still new! It's been a few weeks now though, nearly two months.

[noprophecies]

Ah - so you were here for the cannibals then, yes? I would say surviving that doesn't make you new anymore.

[rebuildyourruins]

That was my start here, in fact. I arrived just days before the battle.

[He seems chipper enough about it.]

[noprophecies]

My, just in time for all the excitement.

[that doesn't seem strange to her at all]

[rebuildyourruins]

So it seems. It was an intense way to begin in this place, from what I've heard.
