handwave handwave she had magic dwarven paper in her pockets and now they can write from anywhere

I'm just going to keep proving you wrong.

[ Story of her life. But she gets that he's flirting. Mostly. Especially with the potato sack comment. Ha. He's cute. Almost likeβ€”

Damn it. Of course she's aware of why she's so drawn to this man. She might've even convinced herself that he is Hodr, in this world at least, and this is all part of Odin's grand plan to continue to make her suffer. That she finds him only to lose him again.

She's not going to let that happen. ]


Back office. My job description is basically to sit behind a desk, smile, and look pretty. And occasionally type something. You guys on the front are really missing out.

[ She's not entirely upset. She does need to learn more about this world and how things work around here, and what better way than to be in the position to access confidential information? Besides, the SSR seems to be on to something. She doesn't know what it is yet, but she has a gut feeling. ]

"Bad" and "good" is sometimes just a matter of perspective though. [ Her father is definitely not bad. Just misunderstood. ] You sound like a good guy.

But I might need to let Garmr give you a sniff test to be sure.


[ Now she is being funny. He seems to get it. Even if she doesn't get the "old" jokes... yet. ]

Where is the Smithsonian? I've never traveled outside of the woods. [ Except Asgard, but even then that's not official. She'd snuck over there when her father had been drunk out of his mind, but nobody's supposed to know so she doesn't talk about it. ]

Guess we'll have to find out which of that you are. If you're a bad guy or you just smell nice.

[ Wait, is this flirting? ]

I think I can ask my brother for my address, he goes out into the world more. But I don't think he or my other brothers or my parents will allow me to leave. [ It's a long story. ] Do you have transportation?

What, you miss me already?

[ She's stuck in a foreign realm with no way back home and everyone she loves is dead. Flirting's saving her from drowning in despair right now. This at least she knows she won't fail at. ]

I have nothing better to do anyway. Dame behind the desk, remember? Might as well talk to you. You're at least somewhat entertaining.

[ Yeah, two can play the same game. ]

That makes at least one of us.

[ Patience is not her middle name. Case in point: this harebrained scheme to infiltrate the US Army. She's not even sure what her endgame is here. Or at least, that's what she tells herself. Not that it matters. Like him, she can't just sit around and do nothing. She has to be moving, doing. ]

And what sort of entertainment would that be? Poetry? Dancing?

[ She does enjoy bearing witness to a good flyting. Dancing is more communal where she's from, but she enjoys that too. ]

You only have one arm? [ And he's like, an Avenger? Fighting and all that? ] That's so cool.

[ Oh no, he's offering to break her out. He sounds perfect. ]

More like rescuing a princess from a tower guarded by a dragon in a forest in the middle of nowhere. [ While all that is true, to a certain degree, she hastily adds so he doesn't get some inflated idea about her: ] But an ugly, scary princess.

[ Yes, she's normally this self-deprecating. ]

[ She actually has to take a moment to text her brother how she could look things up on her phone because she's not familiar with prosthetics. Then she gently starts to pry him about museums, in a careful, roundabout way to determine where her location is in reference to the Smithsonian. She's stubborn like that when she wants to get something done.

In the meantime: ]
That's weird. I like it.

[ Hey, normal is boring! ]

Okay, fine. He's actually a giant snake, and he doesn't breathe fire, but he likes to pretend he does because that scares humans. His venom is more lethal than fire though. Thor's afraid of him because there's some prophecy that he's going to kill him someday.

[ Has she mentioned that the giant snake is also her brother? Not the one who gave her the phone, but another one. And their eldest is a horse. ]

I look like a scary, ugly princess. But I'll wear a disguise when we go out, so I don't make it weird.

You sound like trouble.

[ A red flag to most people, but to her, it's a bright beacon. She can't help it. She's made of the stuff. ]

I haven't danced in a while. That would be nice.

Maybe there'll be more when the war's over. So you can't die until then, that'll be very disappointing.

And then got in trouble instead, I bet.

[ He speaks her language. This is wonderful.

Of course, there's a part of her that's screaming in warning, that she shouldn't jeopardize another poor soul given that she already has a track record for ruining other people's lives, but... she can't help holding on to whatever this is she's found. She hasn't smiled, hasn't laughed, in a long time.

I won't let you die, she wants to promise, but didn't she fail the last time she did? ]


I don't know what they're called, we didn't really have names for them. We just danced around fires for the most part. Though there was this one partnered dance the Fae liked. Very intimate, lots of touching.

Ha, no. I can outsmart them all if I wanted to. [ The giant snake, the giant wolf, the giants, the wolves, even her parents. Even Odin. ] I just...

[ There's a long pause. Just those dots. Typing... ]

I'm human shaped, but I don't look like you. I'm marked by death. And humans hate ugly things.

[ She's never really admitted that to anyone. Even to herself, she'd always chalked it up to her parents not permitting her to leave because her presence might anger Odin. But deep down, this is the reason why she's never left the woods. She's not sure she can take being rejected by the world. ]

You would do that?

I mean, you don't have to, I have magic and I can hide my face. But that's really kind of you.


[ Maybe he's lying? There's no way for her to tell. This texting thing is so limited. But if he is, truly, Captain America's best friend, then he must at least be a decent human. He certainly sounds like one. ]

Are you sure you can handle it? It's really intense.

[ She's not shitting him. The Fae are a lascivious bunch. Their annual festival is just one huge orgy.

Okay, maybe she's shitting him. A little. She's not really going to jump him or anything. Maybe. ]


Why is that the name? Am I going to be Lindy, and you'll be hopping?
