i. There is not mushroom for monsters
[Thor didn't take the job out of necessity, although he really ought to start investing in moving out of his dorm like so many of his friends and family insist he should. He takes the job because he's been so listless lately, so full of restless energy and boredom. He's going stir crazy without real excitement, so it's with pleasure that he aligns himself with a friend, ally or family member and heads into the thick of the jungle with his hammer in his hand.

Thor almost wonders if the promise of beasts had been a trick to lure adrenaline junkies such as himself into a simple, cushy job. It's been a while, he's filled a sack with the glowing mushrooms and he's wondering if they ought to call it a night. He glances around the remaining glow of the jungle while his partner works on gathering mushrooms, almost missing the pair of glowing eyes staring them down in the thick of it.

He gives his partner a gentle smack on the head with his sack of mushrooms, so he can draw attention to the eyes in the distance. When he moves, however, it ceases to be a pair of eyes in the distance and becomes a pair of eyes rapidly approaching. It's a large beast, aggressive from the get go and obviously looking for a fight.

Thor has his hammer at the ready, but he's not sure whether to drop his sack of mushrooms or not. He spares a final glance toward his partner before he throws mjolnir at the beast's antlers, striking it hard and setting it momentarily off course.]


ii. Feed your head, feed your head.
[It's been a long, long evening of pillaging mushrooms and fighting off monsters. Thor has caressed every surface of the jungle. He's tousled in it, rolled on its floors and inhaled its scents. He feels fine, if not a little weary. He needs a drink, and he needs a moment to clear his head.

He finds a relatively safe looking body of water, be it a pond or a river, and he dips his hands in it to drink and wash his face. He stares down at his reflection for a moment, and he swears his reflection winks back at him. Naturally, Thor squints back at himself, only to find his reflection is grinning in return.

The best course of action here is obviously to smack his watery reflection, making his face disappear in vibrant, colourful ripples that seem to twirl and dance like the shapes of a kaleidoscope. Thor smacks the water again, and as it flies to hit his face it seems to shimmer in the moonlight. Like beautiful stars, like watery crystals.

The beauty is beyond Thor's comprehension, and before he knows it, he's weeping softly by the water.

It might be a good time to tap him on the shoulder and ask if he's alright.]


iii. TAVERNFEST
[It's been a while since Thor donned his armor in public. He's become quite comfortable in board shorts and soft, cotton hoodies as of late. He enjoys embracing culture, however, and he's always excited to represent Asgard.

He's delighted to find that the different ales of different taverns are increasing in strength, and he barely needs to tamper with them by adding Asgardian ale to them. As such, he has a good buzz going and he's in a better mood than he's been in for a few weeks now.

He hasn't done this for a long time (to his memory) since he's learned it's something of a faux pas. However, if they're sharing culture here, Thor doesn't feel shame in smashing his mug to the ground after polishing off his drink.]


Another!! [He declares, and after a while, people are starting to catch on and copy him. Maybe he should have taught them another trick.]

iv. TAVERNFEST for Asgardians
[With some badgering from "little" Loki and Thor, they've managed to pull a dour Loki from his skulking and into the festivities. Thor has nabbed a table for all three of them, plus Angela, and he's managed to encourage a steady flow of alcohol and food to come toward them.

It's nice, and it almost feels like home, even if home never had two Lokis and an Angela. Thor feels warm and fuzzy from it all, and it's only a little bit because he's had a lot to drink tonight.]


It took them long enough, but I believe they may finally have my good opinion of their ale.

[Of course Magnus shows up to Tavernfest. Of course he does. And he’s not surprised to find that buff dude from the gym here, either—somehow it seems all too fitting. When he catches Thor slamming a mug down into a counter and shouting for another!, he knows he’s gotta strike the guy up in conversation. He’s been too intimidated to talk to him anywhere else in town (especially not at the gym—you do not interrupt a guy’s routine at the gym). But somehow this demeanor and Thor’s garb, reminiscent of things Magnus seen in the worlds that he came from, make Thor seem approachable.

It is worth noting that Taako has picked out this beautiful monstrosity for Magnus to wear to the festival. And he wears it proudly.

Magnus takes a seat next to Thor at the bar.]
Hail and well met, my dude! [The folks at this festival seem to love that line. It’s just normal for Magnus.] How’s it hangin’? I’ve seen you around at the gym but never had the chance to talk.

[Magnus has to wonder how much of this speech pattern has to do with the festival and how much of it is just how the guy talks. It's funky.]

Thor? Magnus. [He accepts Thor's handshake. That's... dang, that's a strong handshake Thor's got.]

Oh, the horns are fake. I'm mostly just wearing them because my buddy told me to. Taako wanted us all to look festive or whatever. [He shrugs.] But actually, I kinda don't hate them.

Yep! We're from the same planet. You know him?

[He laughs at the traditional question.] Oh, no no no. Not in the slightest. I've never worn anything like this in my life. Pretty sweet though, right? [He flexes his biceps.]

Oh, yeah, I've met Loki. [It was awkward.] He seemed nice.

[Magnus looks genuinely surprised. Maybe he doesn't mean it?] You're jealous of me? Dude, I'm jealous of you! You're, like, the only dude around here who's more buff than me.

[Magnus forgets all about the Loki conversation when Thor muses on the idea of wearing something more revealing. He's distracted for a pause.]

Nah, dude, I like the cape. S'cool.

[Nice save, Mags.]

So what's your story, dude? Where're you from?

Never heard of it. [He shrugs.] I guess you could say I’m from, like, 100 different realms. I kinda hopped from universe to universe for a while. I've been around.

Mostly by accident. I was supposed to be on this spaceship mission for a year and go back home, but then, uh... Our universe got eaten up and we got transported to a different one. And then that happened a hundred more times.

[It's bleak, but... Magnus shrugs it off.]

Taako was there.
