*  HAMMER  OF  THE  GODS .

❛          how’d  you      end  up  in  here         ?           ❜

❛          are  you        ...            mocking  me         ?           ❜

she froze. it took her a moment to understand where he was going with their discussion. ❛❛ wha— ❜❜ then, his words registered mid-word. she was sure her face expression was equivalent to a light bulb appearing above her head. ❛❛ ohh; no, dude. it’s a popular tv show. ❜❜

THERE  IS  NO  LIGHT  BULB  MOMENT  FOR  THOR,        instead  clarification  is  met  with  a  bout  of  hearty  laughter  from  his  chest.           ❛          a  tv  show         !        where  i’m  from,         we  do  not  watch  tee  vee,         ❜         he  draws  out  each  vowel  to  belittle  the  very  notion.            ❛        ASGARDIANS  ARE  TOO  BUSY  DOING  MIGHTY  THINGS.       like  defeating  fire  demons,          doing  battle.        well.        there  are  the  street  theatre  performances  that  mock  my  smellfungus  brother,        loki.       i  do  enjoy  those.       BUT  MOSTLY,        BATTLE.          ❜

she could feed the conversation settling down and the last thing cindy wanted was silence. she decided to go on a whim and ask for advice. ❛❛ what are you thoughts about the office? i’ve never watched it but i keep hearing about it. ❜❜

FEATURES  DAWN  A  SQUINT,        furrowed  brows       &        pursed  lips  a  picture  of  confusion.         ❛          the  office        ?        i  am  unsure  of  which  office  you  refer  to,        midgardian.           the  old  avenger’s  tower,        perhaps          ?        IT  WAS  FUNCTIONAL.         however,        puny  and  underwhelming  when  compared  to  my  friend’s,         the  warrior’s  three,       and  my  old         ...       office,       as  you  would  say.        ❜
