Dear: Whomever Might Be Reading,

I know that this method of communication is not new for most of you, but it is unlike anything I've ever really used before. I have discovered that one can make crude little faces to express emotion, like this - (: and ):

This made me curious as to what other things related to this electronic way of "speaking" I am ignorant about. Are there other faces? Are there rules about what might be forbidden? I find myself with more time than I know what to do with, and so any distractions in the form of advice would be helpful.

Thank you!

Sincerely: Thor Odinson

Dear: Friend Banner

I will remember that going forward, to write shorter messages. Sometimes I have so much to say that a shorter message simply isn't enough!

Rhodey gave it to me! I don't know what a Spark Plug is, but I like it! So long as it isn't Lord of Thunder. I didn't like that one.

TBH the case for why you'd win is the strongest because it applies what we do know about your age, fighting experience, abilities as a Norse god..... versus people shouting Hulk wins because he's the strongest without factoring in his fighting style, stamina, etc.

Oh and because they want to be him. "Stans" are like fans who take things like super seriously. I love Iron Man, but he makes mistakes? All heroes do. They're not good fans because they don't want to be critical of heroes. Don't get me wrong. I love you guys! But, it's important to be critical of people in power.... or at least that's what Nakia tells me.

(She's my bff! She's smart.)

I do appreciate you taking the time to answer all of my questions, and in such detail. It is very kind of you.

TBH is .. The Big Hulk? Those Bratty Horses? Thor's Big Haunches? (I like that one the best).

Yes, I do agree with that. I used to think that blind allegiance was what was best for all involved, but I've since learned that it is good to not hold those in power up on pedestals, literally or figuratively. Even my father, Father of the Gods and all-powerful being, made mistakes in his long life. It is hard to admit that those we look up to or those we admire have faults and can make questionable choices, but it is important to remember.

Your friend Nakia sounds smart.

Dear: Friend Thor

A spark plug delivers electric current from an ignition system to the combustion chamber of a spark-ignition engine to ignite the compressed fuel/air mixture by an electric spark, while containing combustion pressure within the engine. You can see it as the electrical spark that makes something bigger function, which I think is a pretty perfect description for you.

You're not a lord, you're a god.

Your Friend: Banner



[ooc: i tried to reword spark plug from dictionary and then just decided it's Bruce and of course he sounds like a dictionary lol]

UN: You Are Very Handsome Even When You Blush

[assemble_the_lovbacken]

Dear: Friend Thor

Yes, I understand - science things, science terms, science ... events.

But I think I still understand what it is you're saying. It has to do with the lightning, yes? And then things explode and things happen? Because of the lightning? And electricity?

:) I am. I was. I still am? I don't know how to classify myself now.

Your Friend: Thor

[OOC: XD absolutely; straight outta the OED!]

UN: I'm So Glad We're Friends :)

[notsoangry]

Dear: Friend Thor

Yes, exactly. And since your powers involve electricity and lightning, it's an apt comparison.***

You still are, at heart, your body's just different now. You're still you where it counts.

Your Friend: Banner

[OOC: ** He almost slipped here and mentioned Thor's advanced lightning powers post-Asgard ahhhh!]

[morphogenia]

I'm here to help! All your ideas are great, but..................

BFF=BEST FRIEND FOREVER.
TBH=TO BE HONEST

And she's brilliant. Thank you for noticing. <3

UN: We Are The Best of Friends! :)

[assemble_the_lovbacken]

Dear: Friend Banner

Yes! How I miss them. I know it is not the same for you and the Big Guy, but do you ever miss it? Or him?

Thank you, my dear friend Banner. I do not think I have to tell you that that means a great deal to me, especially coming from one who knew me before.

Your Friend: Thor

[OOC: SOMEONE'S GONNA HAVE TO TELL HIM SOME TIME! He'd actually be pretty stoked about advanced lightning powers ....]

[assemble_the_lovbacken]

To: Young Sloth

BFF! I like this very much! That is exactly the term I would use to describe me and Banner. :)

Thank you for your explanations! I wish I had some paper to write these all down, but hopefully I can remember them moving forward.

Is she here in the village? I'd very much like to meet her.

From: Thor

[morphogenia]

Really?! That's awesome! I love Dr. Banner. He's so amazing and nice. <3 Total BFF material.

And no. :((( She's back home! It's great bc no one can mess with her! Less great because I miss my squishy muffin.

:'(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

[assemble_the_lovbacken]

To: Young Sloth

Yes! I also love Banner! He's wonderful! He's my BFF! I'm very happy to hear others feel the same way about him! He deserves it! :D

I'm very sorry to hear this. :( I know that I would also be very sad if Banner were not with me, but I suppose a comforting thought is that she is taking on the world with her brilliance instead of being stuck here in the village.

UN: We're the Revengers!

[notsoangry]

Dear: Friend Thor

No, not even a little bit. I'm sorry that he's gone because it sounds like he was starting to get a life of his own, sort of, but this place would be in danger if he was here.

Then again I almost died of an illness and might have had a few seconds of 'if the Hulk was here, I wouldn't have been able to get sick' feeling.

You're still relatively young by Asgardian standards right? There's still a whole lot for you to learn about yourself outside of your powers too. So that's what you can do now.

You Friend: Banner

UN: REVENGERS!

[assemble_the_lovbacken]

Dear: Friend Banner

You deserve to also have a life of your own, and even though there would be benefits to having him here, like in the case of illness, I am glad that you are getting to experience a separate life here. I wish it were under different circumstances, but if you are happy to be on your own, then I am happy with and for you. :)

I am relatively young by Asgardian standards, yes. I've not had much encouragement to sort all of that out. My fate was very clear for me from the time I was born, as a future ruler of Asgard, and my powers had a great deal to do with that. But you're right, I suppose now is a time for me to figure out who Thor is without his lightning and thunder. Having friends here will help.

Your Friend: Thor

UN: Our Team is Best Team

[notsoangry]

Dear: Friend Thor

It is the best thing for me, for sure. Sorry though, I know you two bonded.

Yeah, exactly. That's the positive way to spin it. You get a chance now to know who you are without any other expectations on you. You can do some self-reflection. You're an amazing person, so you'll just be able to see more of that now.

Your Friend: Banner

[morphogenia]

That's a really great point. Thanks, Thor! Oh! I guess I should tell you my real name, huh? I'm Kamala!

UN: We Make A Wonderful Team!

[assemble_the_lovbacken]

Dear: Friend Banner

No, no, it's all right, I prefer you over him, anyway. I did like him, though!

I will remember to reach out to you whenever I might be feeling sad. You are wonderfully encouraging! :D I am very happy to have you as a friend!

Your Friend: Thor

[assemble_the_lovbacken]

To: Young Sloth/Kamala

How do you prefer to be addressed? I can modify how I greet you to whichever makes you happiest!

You are most welcome. :) I am happy that I could offer some kind of assistance with something non-physical.

From: Thor

[morphogenia]

Kamala is my preference. My Ammi and Abu gave it to me and they're super proud of it so!!!

[assemble_the_lovbacken]

To: Kamala

I don't know what those words mean, but I'm assuming your parents? I would very much like to honor the name that was chosen for you, too! So I will call you Kamala from now on!
