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]

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]

[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."

[richtighammer.livejournal.com]

[Thor just stares. He was following that until about... five words in.

...WELP. When in doubt, yell at the problem.]

I tell you true, I made no such pact with you, in this or any realm! Think you that I will forgive the one who wears my form as though he were me?!

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"But I am not wearing your form... Unless... My eyes deceive me and you are a sleight woman with gold eyes. I merely have made a pact with a you from another world to fortify my spirit and lend his powers to my quest of slowing the race to Ragnarok."

[richtighammer.livejournal.com]

You have stolen my power - it is the same as wearing my form!

[Thor is not well-versed in cosmology or viking metaphysics, but nonetheless he sees something wrong here. Something very wrong. How can it be that Mayfield would send him here twice?]

You are a witch. No being, be he god or man or giant, can change the running of ages! Do you mean to doom us all?

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"You can still use your powers, can you not? I have stolen nothing here. As for the running of ages... I did not say prevent, I said slow. Where I come from there are those who think if they cause it to happen before its time is due, that they can take power afterwards. All things must happen in due time."

[richtighammer.livejournal.com]

[Thor's face darkens.] Who would be so mad as to think to slow the end of days?

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

There are a few... They nearly released Hel from her prison early but my master's master stopped them.

so sorry for the epic slow of this thread bro >_<

[richtighammer.livejournal.com]

And power that you say I have given you allowed you to prevent this?

[...nope. He still doesn't remember making a deal with this person. Hence: Bullshit.]

I do not believe it!

No worries, sometimes life happens

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

You and others... And belief or not consider this... Has your power diminished any in the moments since I had this persona returned to me?

[richtighammer.livejournal.com]

[Without warning, Thor's face contorts in anger and he's thundering again, drawing himself up tall and wishing he had his hammer in his hand and a rising storm behind him.]

Do you think to mock me? Mayfield has robbed me of my power--

[Something dawns on him. And suddenly he lunges forward, making to grab at Elizabeth in pure rage.]

Unless it is you who stole it from me?

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

[She calmly steps to the side, swinging her arms to bat him away with well, the strength of Thor]

Mocking you is not my goal... My persona are all dear to me... And I love them all as my family. I had 9 such pacts, and they were taken from me when I came to this place.

[richtighammer.livejournal.com]

[What-- she is five feet tall. That shouldn't have hurt. Thor should not have felt that. And yet he finds himself stumbling, his shoulder stinging as though a man his size had given him a sharp blow.

He stops out of her reach, looking at her with fierce rage and a new wariness.]

So mine is not the only power you have stolen! Why should Mayfield give you my power? Why would it not return it to the one to whom it belongs?

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

I do not know these things. I know that our pact has granted me but 8 of your powers... Perhaps since you are Thor and you have the potential to have more than a simple pact this place fears you more than I.

I am no god. I do not even know what I am, so I am much less of a threat.

oh dear god are you okay with finishing this despite epic late ;;

[richtighammer.livejournal.com]

I know what you are - a thief and a witch! The strength of Thor is not to be trifled with!

No worries! Liz has had Loki to keep her company. I think they've picked out a nice dress for Thor

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

Given what I know of you I know that words will not change your mind, so arguing that there are an infinite number of possibilities and thus an infinite number of any of us is a waste of breath.

I am not a witch as I am not human however.

SOB DAMN IT LOKI NOT AGAIN

[richtighammer.livejournal.com]

[...It bothers Thor that she knows that about him. He's a god and therefore used to being addressed by people who know who he is; but knowing her power makes it somehow intrusive to him, that she should to speak to him of his own nature.]

There are beings not of Midgard who know magic. The elves might call their witches by different names than do the dwarves, but they are still sorcerers!

Loki? Liz is now Loki?

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

True, but there are beings of all places that know magic. Knowing magic is one thing, being born of it is a very different thing.

BOTH OF THEM. DAMN BOTH OF THEM AND THEIR PLOTTING

[richtighammer.livejournal.com]

Why must you talk in riddles?! You have told me nothing!
