About ... huh. [She makes a face.] A few months shy of three years. Give or take a few "visits" back home, or whatever.

[...maybe she should pick up some more shirts while she's here. The shopkeeper probably won't mind.]

[rebuildyourruins]

[It's reflexive to grimace at the length of time. Three years. Thor's fairly certain he'll try to burn the place down before he reaches that amount of time. Six months is already pushing his patience. Unwinding the belt, he nods at it absently. That will work.]

You've done that too, then. Regaining memories. I had that happen barely two months into my stay here.

[mikangirl]

That's pretty fast. [She glances at him curiously.] I think I'd been here six months or so-- then again a year later, and again just recently. I wonder why they do it.

[rebuildyourruins]

[He merely grunts, irritated. He's well aware how out of the ordinary it was to get memories so early into his stay.]

You aren't the first to say so. And I don't know - out of spite, perhaps.

[There was little pleasant about Thor's memories, so it wasn't out of kindness to him, that's for sure.]

Can you tell if it follows a pattern?

[mikangirl]

Pattern of drama, maybe. I don't know a single person who woke up after one of those nights without some revelation from home.

On timing, though? Your guess is as good as mine.

[rebuildyourruins]

I'd believe that more if there were some proof of us being watched.

[He has his doubts, if only because of the radio silence of the Atroma. Thor catches the shopkeeper's eye and gives him a winning smile, slapping the belt down on the counter.]

I'll take this, please.

[mikangirl]

I get that. Though we're at least being watched by the Atroma. [Bah. She wrinkles her nose.] Could be they're our sole audience.

--oh, that's nice. Make sure to offer him a good discount! [Hey shopkeep, you can have an equally winning smile!

...poor guy's going kinda green again.]

[rebuildyourruins]

[Green or not, the shopkeeper starts ringing up the belt. Thor's not too worried about the costs but with Nami watching, well... it's getting a discount.]

If that's true, then I hope they see how serious I am when I say I'm coming for them eventually.

[He says it with a smile, but absolute conviction.]

[mikangirl]

[Kind of conviction she likes to see tbh.]

Well, you may have better luck than the rest of us mortals. Still, if I ever do get the chance to hurt them, I'm gonna take it.

[rebuildyourruins]

As you should! They deserve every blow.

[The shopkeeper clears his throat behind Thor, holding out the bag with his new belt. Thor brightens and takes it from him, slapping his credits down on the till.]

Thank you, sir.

[mikangirl]

[Nami beams at the shopkeeper in a gleeful way that may threaten she might be back later, and follows suit.] Thank you, sir!

[She swipes all her prepared bags down from the counter deftly and slings them over one shoulder, the pipe she was fidgeting with shoved in a belt loop.] Did you have more shopping to do?

[rebuildyourruins]

Not in particular. I've already done a lot earlier this week.

[mikangirl]

Ahh. Pity. Heading back to the Fleet, then?

[rebuildyourruins]

[Thor shrugs, glancing around at all the other storefronts lining the street.]

I had not thought that far ahead, honestly. I have nothing else planned for today, so I was just looking around.

[mikangirl]

There's a nice bar not far from here. I mean-- nice as in the drinks are good, not too sure about its clientele.

[She is deeply curious about gods and drinking, tbh.]

[rebuildyourruins]

[He is always, always up for drinking.]

Well, if we enter together, then we can say for certain that at least some of them are.

[Because they are both super nice people.]

[mikangirl]

[Super, super nice.]

Ohhh, you make a good point! Really, we'll be doing the bar staff a favour and brightening their day.

[More so than the shopkeeper they just left, anyway. Nami doesn't bargain over drinks at least.]

[rebuildyourruins]

Exactly so. And if you are recommending the drinks, it must surely be worth a look.

[So, to the bar they go.]
