Meeting the Chariot

[elevatoravatar]

[Liz has had an irritating few days, her husband has been reduced to a drone and probably forever, and she still was feeling a bit odd from the milk, food just didn't seem appetizing.]

Action: 1128 Taylor

[There is a letter with Liz's name on it which she stuffs into her purse then goes about pruning the bushes, singing something that sounds pretty, but also horrible to anyone who can use magic. Horrible in the whole madness from lost souls way.]

Action: Park

[Liz has decided to open her letter, a single tarot card there bearing the chariot. As she does so a booming voice can be heard saying "I am thou... Thou art I... I come from the storm of the soul bearing thunder from the Chariot!" and a large hammer bearing Norse man appears before vanishing into her]

[And Minato recognizes that voice.]

They gave you back another Persona huh. Congrats.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

[She spins and smiles at Minato]

"Indeed! I am only missing 7 more."

[She leans in and hugs him]

[doudemoe]

[Hugging back.]

Ahaha. It's 10 more for me.

[11 if you count Orpheus in the post office.]

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"But... You had so many inside of you... Being able to hold is different. I only had my 9 and no others swam in the sea of my soul."

[doudemoe]

Hnn. Well, they didn't give me back one this time.

[Liz will notice that his trademark MP3 player and headphones are back.]

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"Yes, but there are more to us than the Persona we wear... I still have not been given my uniform."

[She sighs a little bit]

[doudemoe]

Good things come to those who wait.

[He holds her close.]

I'm sorry, for not being around this event.

"The milk merely weakened me slowly... The last day I simply passed for a time. It is for the best I suspect."

[doudemoe]

That isn't a comforting statement.

[He's not letting go of her for a while.]

Park

[richtighammer.livejournal.com]

[Thor is, as luck would have it, driving his own chariot around the park; having the goats back has been reason enough to shirk responsibility and spend his time clattering around the streets of Mayfield for the past few days.

However, glancing across the park as he thunders by and catching sight of himself, vanishing into the body of-- a girl? What?-- is reason enough to come to a screeching halt, throwing up a shower of sparks from the wheels. He has no idea what he just saw, but he believes what little his eyes told him - does someone here think to work dark magic wearing his form?

He leaps from the driver's seat and crosses the grass, booming at Liz as soon as he's within earshot:]

YOU! Sorceress!

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"No... Me not sorceress... I am Elizabeth."

[She smiles and bows]

[richtighammer.livejournal.com]

[THOR DOES NOT HAVE TIME FOR COURTESIES.]

What was that?

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"Once.... I made a pact with the Norse god of Thunder for aide in my duties. That pact was restored to me."

[richtighammer.livejournal.com]

I made no such pact! I have never seen you before!

[He is pretty damn sure he would have remembered this person.]

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"So you are another aspect of you. In the million realities, is it infeasible to consider another you would have made such a pact?"

[richtighammer.livejournal.com]

Odin has many sons, but there is but one Thor!

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"There is only one Thor for every reality, but how many realities exist? How many different nows are there for the gods to play in? Perhaps there is a world that never ceased to worship you, but the you there is not the you here for you are simply you. Just as there may be an infinite number of me. It is something worth pondering, but not something worth loosing sleep over."

Park!

[Sometime after Thor's conversation ends, Loki, skating by on the sidewalk, feels a familiar presence in the park.

Normally he can't sense people, but Thor's different. When Thor is in a place, he fills up the entire space. Some people call it presence, or having a large personality. But even if Loki can't hear Thor's booming voice, often he can tell by the feel of things that Thor is there.

He might as well say hello and see how the big lug is doing. Turning, Loki is about to head towards the presence when he realizes:

He doesn't see Thor anywhere.

Visibly confused, Loki scans the park again.]

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

[Noticing the man, Elizabeth smiles cheerfully, stretching slightly]

You appear to be missing something... Perhaps I can assist you in finding what you quest for?

[putmeinstitches.livejournal.com]

[It's him!

...no, it's a her. She's him? But --

WHEN IN DOUBT TAKE REFUGE IN MOCKERY.]

You're awfully polite today, Thor. And petite.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

Ah yes... You speak of the mask I wear... I have made a pact to wear the power of the Thundering God, yet... I am not him. Merely wearing the visage of the Chariot.

[putmeinstitches.livejournal.com]

[UNLIKE THOR UP THERE, Loki's following what she says. His brows crease.]

Have you, now...

But Thor has no power here. How did you get your hands on -- on this?

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

Ah, but powers are returned here. The power granted to me from the pact has been returned so I have all regained the ability to channel the strength of his hammer and thunder.

[putmeinstitches.livejournal.com]

[Okay...]

So you've got power from him, but he's got none.

[Loki bursts into laughter. THIS IS THE FUNNIEST THING HE'S HEARD IN MONTHS.]

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

I have the powers from A Thor... Perhaps not that one. On the world I come from the Gods of old had lost much worship and needed what pacts they could make to keep their legends strong.
