video, un: Strongest Avenger

[So many of the villagers use this feature to confess things. First, he talked to the woman who eats brains and is something called a "zombie." Thor hasn't gone out hunting yet, but he hasn't forgotten the promise he'd made to bring her brains whenever he did. He's never really figured out if it's strange or not that he sort of just rolled with that.

Thor's currently trying to ambush a family of (hopefully non-venemous) snakes near the river when this one comes through. He's never met the guy who starts off talking in the video, and the name Carlton Drake doesn't ring any immediate bells - though Tony and Bruce's names certainly do. Trying to maintain focus on both the video and the snakes, he brings himself down to a kneel, one hand at the ready to strike and catch a new friend.

It's when the guy transforms that Thor recognizes the ... uh, creature .. thing that takes the human's place. He'd seen him roaming around the village at night, and they'd had an interesting conversation.

He responds with his own video. His cheeks are flush with the cold, as is his nose. And, despite still grappling with all of the truth bombs unloaded on him during his arrival and the days following, he seems generally well-adjusted. Sometimes it pays to be an eternal optimist.

With a grin, his eyes flicker back and forth between the camera and the rock where he thinks the family of snakes are currently living.

I recognize you! Well, not the guy before who was talking, but ... you. The .. uh. [He makes a gesture around his face the way he had when he'd met Venom and tried to tell him that if he wanted to make more friends, he had to think about changing his Very Frightening appearance because it's hard to make friends when you're Very Frightening.] First, congratulations on coming out and telling the truth! It seems like a lot of people feel compelled to do that here. Which is great! I, for one, am very pleased that people get to be themselves and be happy. Hopefully they're happy. I imagine it's a great relief to share a secret like this with everyone, so thank you. [He freezes, eyes looking at something off-camera. He thought he saw the hint of a tail, but it's just a twig.]

Also, I have to ask does it hurt your - uh, human when you do that? Take over? Where do you live when he's his usual self? Does he have like a backpack where you live and then you come out when you're needed or when you grow restless? Are you sewn into his jacket lining? How does that work?

Also also, you said your name was Venom? Venom ... as in .... snakes? How good might you be at catching them?
