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!))

Maybe not what you want to hear, but I can't say I'm hoping for it to come back.

[rebuildyourruins]

It's not like I am either. I'd just like to bring it down if it does.

[They're two totally different desires that just happen to intersect sometimes. It happens.]

Though it is true that it flinches from light. Perhaps there's a way to use that to keep it away from the inhabited islands.

[outstandingbalance]

That'd be a trick, if you could manage to clear out some of the mist. [Thoughtful, considering.] Not my skillset, but it's something to work with.

[rebuildyourruins]

[Thor hums with thought, scratching at his neck. He's going to need a shower soon after getting flung into the dirt so often.]

I can make it storm, but that would only swirl it around. What this place needs is a permanent solution the people can manage themselves.

[outstandingbalance]

Not sure we'll have the luxury of helping them come up with a permanent solution.

[rebuildyourruins]

It's still worth trying, for as long as we're here.

[It's a good use of his time at least. He doesn't much care to go treasure hunting in the mist again.]

[outstandingbalance]

Far be it from me to stand in the way of helping out.

[rebuildyourruins]

I would never accuse you of that, Natasha.

[Mostly never. If she was literally standing in the way of him doing something he might say it.]

[outstandingbalance]

[Also unlikely. Natasha watches her back that way.]

Of course not.
