[ there is a moment of palpable silence and thor simply blinks at the question. then he laughs, actually laughs with honest mirth and good humor. ]

It takes much more than that to scare me, my friend.

[ hooooo boy. he could laugh about that a little bit more. but he tries to play it cool, lips slightly trembling at the corners in the grand effort he's making to not laugh again. he taps his own chest, shaking his head a little. ]

There may be some sort of sorcery over me to dampen my strength so I am not what I once was... It would still bring some harm running into me.

[key_illusion]

[At least he's laughing. If it had been anything else, ??? would immediately flip into defensive-jerk mode. (He does that too often.) ???'s able to smile more easily at that, letting his body loosen up from the run as he pushes his headphones down around his neck.]

Sounds like you're new then. [So many newbies arriving recently.]

Don't worry too much. The gods took away everyone's power and magic 'cause they don't work properly here. If you want them back, expect your head to explode.

[odinsons]

[ he has to laugh, the alternative isn't very pretty and thor, at least now recognizes he's at a very large disadvantage. it's taking all of the self-control he has to not simply fly off the handle.

baby steps, but he's learning. ]

In the sense of this false place I am new, however not new to Asgard proper.

[ thor's hand flexes unconsciously around the handle of mjolnir at his hip at the mention of "gods". ]

If it is all the same, it is not my own head that seeks damage.

[key_illusion]

Yeah, there's been people here who say that this place isn't the real Asgard. I think one of them was around my age?

[Hahaa, his age. He's only 227 days. Thankfully, physically 15.

He's trying to put the pieces together more-or-less.]

But lemme guess, you're supposed to be... [Just gives him a good long look.] Thor?

[He's pretty sure he's seen that name on the network list at least once.]

[odinsons]

[ at that, thor has to wonder who he means. off the top of his head, he cannot think of anyone young enough to have claimed such a thing first hand.

this, clearly, just raises more questions.

he nods in response to the question, lips pulling into another frown. ]

Aye. [ the real thor, ok. ] Who has made such claims of this not being Asgard?

[key_illusion]

Ummm...hold on. I can find him for you. [???'s turning on his bracelet now; the screen pops up, and he's immediately scrolling through the network posts.]

I try to monitor the Network daily, but I don't recall exactly who he is-- ah, there. [He should've guessed it more easily considering the teen's name is 'Loki'. ??? hasn't paid to much attention to him though. The only noteworthy point was that he was connected with a different Asgard.

He's turn the screen to Thor now, showing Loki's more recent posts.]

This guy.

[odinsons]

[ thor waits and then leans over to look. then there's nothing. he simply just stares blankly at everything.

it's... loki. but, not loki. even though he recognizes that, his heart still constricts in his chest. so many things race through his mind and he wonders—

well, he wonders a lot of things.

with a gesture to the screen and a softer tone to his voice, thor's brow furrows. ]

This boy... he is still here?
