video + action.

Who: Thor, a mist beast, and you
Broadcast: video, fleetwide
Action: yes, too much action the island of Zifra
When: now

video.
[The first thing to hit you when opening this video feed is the absolute wall of noise coming from it. There's a howling of wind and something more guttural that just rattles the eardrums. And yet Thor is still choosing to make a broadcast in the middle of this, evidenced by the way his hair and cape are whipping around in the video. He holds the communicator in one hand, shouldering an oversized axe with the other.]

Well, I've found the monster! [Oh, that's what that noise is.] It hasn't struck land yet but it's nearly here. The beast means to make a meal of this place, and I don't intend to let it. Any who wish to join me ought to head for Zifra island - it's about ten miles north of Veynar. It's not inhabited at least.

[Another huge roar shakes the feed, Thor glancing over his shoulder at the encroaching dark clouds.]

Oh, it's keen. [A laugh follows.] But it'll find this meal hard to swallow.

[With that the video flips wildly as Thor tosses the communicator aside. It rolls to a stop on the grass, tilted image showing Thor running off towards the storm before he jumps, flying off the ground entirely with axe held aloft. The feed clicks off.]

action.
[Anyone who heads to Zifra will indeed find the mist monster there, taller than the hilly peaks and arms wide enough to catch it in a terrible embrace. Only it hasn't gotten that far yet. Instead it's trying to swipe at Thor, who keeps hurtling around it at high speed and slamming lightning bolts into its claws when they get too close to the island.

A monster this size will need attacking from multiple angles. Time to throw your hat in the ring?]


((OOC: Please note that if you respond to the broadcast part of the post, Thor will ICly answer an hour later after the fight is done. Feel free to jump each other in this post as well for attacking the monster!))

It suits you. [Right, business. It does feel less pressing with at news thought.]

Any idea what the beast wants other than to eat islands or if there might be a way to communicate with it? [The X-Men didn't spend a ton of time debating these sorts of things but the enemy was usually very clear and almost cartoonishly malevolent. There was no time and no need. Now it feels like they might have a bit of both.]

[Kitty believes in the power of battle banter!] I'm just going to throw this out there, but is it a big deal if it eats unpopulated islands? [She's honestly not sure. Maybe it is. Maybe it had vital resources or was necessary for eventual expansion.]

I was wondering if we could entice it to make one. Not that I actually have any idea how to do that.

...A telepath maybe? [Jean's here now.]

It would need to communicate on some wavelength the telepath has, sure. But it doesn't have to be as limited as spoken language. And maybe it wouldn't work. I'm just thinking it might be worth a shot.

That's the nice thing about a team. More perspectives and skill sets.

None of the Avengers showed? [She's a little surprised. Then again, she didn't check her communicator in a timely fashion either.]

Yeah, it's hard to reach out and touch someone when you're dealing with a giant monster. Telephone ads never talked about that though.
