video + action.
Who: Thor + you
Broadcast: video, fleetwide
Action: the Blue Fish
When: now
video.
[The video opens on Thor. For those who've met him, it might take half a second to realise that, because his appearance has markedly changed. His long hair has been hacked short, and he's wearing an eyepatch over his right eye. It's weird. It doesn't even have a strap. Even his armor is different, much less flashy and looking worse for wear than the other silver set he'd had previously.
The look on his face is a bit harried, but he starts off with a long drawn out:]
So... [This just had to be his first address to the network, didn't it. Thanks, fate.] Hello. I had heard before that people in this place could fall asleep and end up back home for a while. It seems I now count myself among them. I have to say it's much more confusing to experience yourself. I think it's been only a few days here.
[He rubs at his chin a bit, looking off to the side in thought for a moment. This whole business on top of everything else makes him feel downright exhausted.]
Doesn't feel like it, though. [Thor returns his attention to the communicator, with a little shrug and less of a pensive look.] I'll add it to my list of grievances against the Atroma. I'm sure we'll have a library's worth to throw at them before the end.
If anything has happened in the last few days, I would be glad to hear it. If we haven't yet met, I am Thor, son of Odin, God of Thunder, and king of Asgard.
[It still sounds strange to him, though he trucks through it as gamely as he can.]
Rogers, Natasha, I need to talk to you both.
Oh-- [He smiles a bit, though it's a shade deadpan.] And happy new year.
action.
[Later, Thor sets about re-familiarising himself with the Blue Fish again, poking around the rooms and going through the kitchen cupboards. He could honestly use the distraction that pointless busy work can give, or conversation with anyone he happens to run into.]

Uh. Look, I'm sure it's fine. I was away on an Avengers mission.
[So obviously he still is one, long delays notwithstanding.]
no subject
[Maybe they stole your stuff while you were gone.]
no subject
Yeah, it was open-ended. I'm on my way back to Earth at present though.
no subject
You're on your way to more ratings in space at present-er.
no subject
You know what I mean though.
no subject
no subject
[More than ever, now that Asgard is gone.]
And I will get back there.
no subject
no subject
[Irony, coming May 2018.]
It's also vital that we reach Earth, and I don't intend to be waylaid once again.
no subject
We?
no subject
[But he doesn't elaborate.]
no subject
no subject
[And maybe, he's delaying it. Doesn't want to talk about it so much yet, when it's particularly raw and he's not close to most people here yet. It's a lot to explain to those who don't know him quite as well.]
no subject
[But more seriously.] I hope it all works out. Whatever it is.
no subject
no subject
You really will. And then you probably won't remember any of it anyway if you get sent back, but it won't stop you from thinking about it.
no subject
[It would be impossible not to.]
I've heard that before, that people don't recall this place when they return home. I didn't remember any of it in the time I was away.

no subject
[He doesn't want to think about what-ifs. He's got too many of those clamouring for his attention already. What if he had found a better way, what if he fails at his task. What if.]
