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!))

[ Loki is a reasonable distance away, with a blanket on the ground, and tea. Oh, and his device to record it and laugh every time Thor gets smashed into a mountain. It never gets old. If anyone approaches him, Loki will say. ]

Who do you want to bet on, the monster or Thor?

action;

[dreamvour]

[rather than distract him too much, she merely sends him a text message while on her way to the island: On my way! (ง'̀-'́)ง

[so, with sword and summoning charms in hand, Baku makes her way over to Zifra and up one of the peaks. The only problem is, she has no way to get to the monster at the moment, at least not until it gets a little closer or a better (or dumb) idea crops up to get her there]

I hope it doesn't eat him before more people get here, that'd be disappointing.

[she'll provide commentary in the meantime]

[rebuildyourruins]

[Reasonable distance or not, the monster has a pretty hefty fist on it. Which means that one of those blows does eventually send Thor crashing into the ground nearby, a hail of dirt and stones raining down on Loki's picnic. Sorry buddy.

Thor sits up from the deep furrow the impact made in the ground, muttering a curse.]

Stupid thing.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki scowls, brushing away the debris from his blanket, ugh dirt. ]

That's what you get for showing off your new hammer.

[rebuildyourruins]

[As much as Thor tries to keep to the air, there are times when the monster does land hits on him, sending him crashing back to earth. Or to mountain, to be more specific. There's a whistling noise followed by a terrific shattering of rock as Thor's hurled into the peak only a few dozen metres from where Baku is. Something like that might be the end of a regular person... but judging by the way he emerges from the hole shaking off bits of rock and scowling at the beast, it only serves to tick Thor off.]

Not even a torn fingernail yet.

[rebuildyourruins]

[The hammer itself has been tossed off to parts unknown. Thor gets back to his feet, casting Loki an irritated look.]

This beast is eating islands and needs to be stopped. Why shouldn't I use the hammer to do that?

[Looks like this time, Natasha missed all the fun. "Fun." All things considered, she'd have helped if she were closer, but monsters that size feel a little out of Natasha's pay grade. She's a spy. Not a god.

That doesn't mean she's not concerned about how the god came through.]

That looks like a big one. Taken care of?

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki rolls his eyes. ]

I didn't say using, I said showing off.

[dreamvour]

[Baku doesn't even bat an eyelash as Thor crashes nearby, though she does brush off some flying dirt once the dust settles. She offers him a faint smile in greeting, which twitches into a smirk at his response]

That's good. I'd hate to have to tease you about torn fingernails so soon.

[rebuildyourruins]

[It takes Thor a while to call back, what with fighting a monster and then having thrown his communicator away like a moron. He definitely won't admit to having to scrounge around in the grass to find it again. But he does find it.

When he replies he's worse for wear, dirt-streaked and bleeding from a cut somewhere in his hairline. Other than being filthy he doesn't seem too banged up however.]

For the moment. The bastard dived back down into the mist... it's gone elsewhere, I'd say.

[rebuildyourruins]

[Oh, there's someone up here. He stares at Baku for a moment before shaking his head, indignant.]

As though something like this could even bruise me! No, I meant the beast is yet to be wounded. It keeps turning to mist before my strikes can land.

[dreamvour]

I'm going to hold you that. [she will, don't bruise, Thor. Stil, she grows a bit serious, turning to eye the creature] That's annoying, though. When does it turn solid?

[rebuildyourruins]

[Possibly he's exaggerating on the bruise front, but that's a problem for future Thor. He swings his axe up onto his shoulder, glaring out across the landscape to where the monster is drawing back its hands again.]

When it's about to eat the land. Or if it aims a strike at you. [Turning back to Baku, he glances at the sword she holds and considers.] So we need it to attack us in order to attack it back.

[rebuildyourruins]

[Thor holds his hand out, a stubborn set to his jaw.]

They are the same thing.

[A ringing sound rapidly approaches before the hammer handle smacks into Thor's waiting palm.]

It doesn't like lightning, I can tell that much.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Dry. ]

What a shocking discovery. Will this take long or will you be flung into more mountains?

video > action

[ragingbanner]

[Oh god, oh god, oh god. He almost doesn't respond, except he kind of has to. It starts with a video.]

Do. Do you want help?

[He really does want to help despite his fear of what that means.

After about five minutes, Bruce realizes he's probably not getting a response.

Okay. Okay, not big deal. It's Thor. Thor is a god who can generate lightning and has battled with monsters and aliens and all kinds of who knows what. He's perfectly capable of handling himself.

And yet Bruce somehow ends up on Zifra, after some trial and error finding the battle underway.]

O-oh. Thor!

[Maybe he'll get lucky and be heard.]

[dreamvour]

I see. [it's a very nice sword. In fact, she draws it carefully, tossing the sheath a fair distance away and giving it a cursory swing, as if testing that yes, it is hers. Okay, good.

Her tone is casual, it's usual deadpan neutrality despite the subject] How quickly would you be able to throw me at it while it attacks?

[spur of the moment idea, why not]

text;

[dreamvour]

Are you not going to help out? 【・ヘ・?】

[Kitty was busy training during the original broadcast so it takes awhile before she responds at all.]

Nice axe. [And you thought she only ever checked out those guns of his.]

Status? [She's not so sure about this monster hunting in general. Sure, eating islands sounds bad, but uninhabited ones? People gotta eat. Did they really know enough about it to know attacking it is the right idea? If lives were at stake she wouldn't hesitate, but for right now the only lives she knows might be at stake are the monster's, Thor's and whoever joined him.]

[dothelokimotion]

Thor can take care of himself. He is the best at killing monsters.

[ Loki would know. ]

[dreamvour]

I don't doubt your brother's abilities. Even if we just met because he crashed nearby.

But it's more fun when there's more people. (;•͈́༚•͈̀)

[dothelokimotion]

Having embarked on many campaigns with Thor, I can safely say it is not.

[dreamvour]

You haven't embarked on any campaigns with me, though.

[dothelokimotion]

I was not aware you fought.

[dreamvour]

Only when I have to. I prefer to handle conflict peacefully if possible.
