[open] i heard about a whirlwind that's coming 'round

[worldsaway]

WHO: Thor and YOOOUUuuuuu
WHERE: All around Eluvio
WHEN: The early hours of Feb 14th and possibly some stuff a little after
WHAT: The power outages hit, Thor goes into action mode. He's around trying to help people and figure out what the fresh hell is going out.
WARNINGS: Nah.

One. lights out + by the windows and around:
[Thor had been enjoying a peaceful moment of quiet reflection by the windows in the early hours of the morning. It's soothing to look out into the wide, open span of the galaxy and watch the other ships in the fleet join them on their travels. Peaceful as it may be, it's also frustrating. He'd rather be far, far into the depths of space and away from here and not wasting time participating in a mission he was never interested in. He's still sulking about all of this, don't judge him.

He's so lost in his thoughts he'll need a breadcrumb trail to get out of them- or an explosion, perhaps. When the first ship goes up in flames it gives him pause, but he's quick to act before the next ship begins to follow suit. He sticks his arm out, hand open in the air for a few seconds before his hammer flies into it. It's possible it flew right past you up the halls, or maybe it swerves past you when it approaches Thor's hands.

Regardless, Thor is on the case. He has no idea where he's heading, but he's listening to screams, sounds of distress or worse- more explosions.]


Two. zero gravity + closed doors:
[It seems like the explosions have ended with just the two ships, for whatever reason. The excitement hasn't stopped, however. The lights flicker and eventually die off, but it doesn't stop Thor from wandering the halls in search of a source of trouble or a person in need.

Eventually, the gravity starts to go and Thor begins to float upward. The hammer is somewhat burdensome when you're trying to navigate your way through ceilings and walls, but he feels it pertinent to keep a hold of it.

That said, when he happens upon closed doors with voices behind them. He will allow the hammer to sink back down to the ground while he braces himself in front of the doors.]

Stand back! I will release you!

[That's his first and final warning before he positions himself into a position where he can grip the ceiling and deliver some swift, hard bunny kicks to the door in an attempt to muscle it open. If he can break it even a little, he'll proceed to try wrenching and prying it open from the side. If he can't break it open, he won't abandon anyone, even if it means talking to someone through a door to keep them calm.]

Three. gravity returns:
[Eventually, the gravity returns, not with a flicker but with a thud. At least, Thor thuds. He lands heavily on his feet, glancing upward at the full height of the walls and ceiling and noting that there is someone gripping the wall for dear life.]

You'll have to come down eventually. [He urges, holding out his arms.] Come now, I won't drop you.

Four. wildcard:
[Something else in mind? Feel free to wing it, PM me or PP me @squishyfeet.]

[The loss of gravity is, by far, the worst part. He's been stuck on dead ships before--even if most don't seem to die out of nowhere like this--but even the Force can't be flawlessly manipulated the mimic the right physics. If he could get to the door, he could find a way to force it open (or cut it open, if necessary), but so far, the grumbling on his side of that door is the frustration of it staying still out of reach. That only stops when he hears something of an answer from the door's other side.]

Good luck. [Though he's not entirely sure how much he trusts anything to happen. It's said as he pushes off the adjacent wall with what he hopes is enough force to get him nearer to the door.] You're going to need it.

[worldsaway]

You sound skeptical. [Thor even pauses to say that, just to keep the connection going. It is very unnerving to open doors without knowing who or what might be behind it, after all.]

Once I find the right angle, it should not be difficult. [It's just that getting on the right angle in zero gravity is harder than it seems. The door is, at least, jostling as Thor works on it.]

Why don't you tell me your name?

[ex_forcechoke292]

[He doesn't expect to hear anything from the other side of that door aside from the occasional awkward thud due to the lack of (literal) grounding. The fact that the door is moving at all is nothing short of impressive.

Enough so that whatever quip he'd had prepared about "knowing better" dies immediately.]

Anakin....uh. Skywalker. Anakin Skywalker.

[Yes, most definitely sounds like an expert when he can't even get a hold on the door like he needs to, nor can he manipulate the space around it to get him there. The posturing fails almost immediately, and there's an annoyance underneath the awkward fumbling with two words he should know better than any other.]

What do I call you? If you don't kill yourself trying to get that thing open?

[worldsaway]

Thor Odinson. [For a guy trying to pry open a metal door, he certainly manages to make a smoother introduction than poor Anakin. Not that he notices or even notes that, he's more concerned about getting him out of there.]


It's a pleasure to meet you. [Said with all of the necessary sarcasm and grunting he can manage.]

If a door is the cause of my demise, it shall be a brilliant story I'm sure. Are you alone in there, Anakin?

[ex_forcechoke292]

[He never has been exceptional at introductions. He does at least manage a chuckle at how absolutely absurd this situation has become. The lacking gravity is a nuisance on any occasion, but stuck without any real connection to the door he has no hope of getting open is, in a word, pathetic. He should be able to handle this on his own just fine.

And yet, here they are.]

Well, I had been planning on throwing a party later... [No, he hadn't. He doesn't sound nearly broken up enough about it for that to remotely resemble the truth, but it takes some of the edge off of his frustration.] Yes, I'm alone. How did you get saddled with door duty?

[worldsaway]

[With one very decided wrench, the door finally gives. Just enough that Thor can peer through it, but not enough to fit through it. Luckily, it holds in place and doesn't try to snap back, but wrenching it properly will be a feat.]

I suppose you'll have to invite me now. [He smiles through the door, which isn't weird at all.] I took upon myself. I've had little success doing much else, it seems.

[ex_forcechoke292]

Well, if you meant to play to your strengths, it seems you chose right.

[He manages to push himself closer to the door, but not quite within arm's reach just yet. He tries to reach out with his mind, but finds it more like trying to swim upstream: there's little to latch onto. But as the door gives a fraction, he finds that maybe that's the Force's way of telling him to stop abusing the simplest answer and accept help when it's given.

He gives a soft huff at the thought.]

I'm impressed.

[And while it might be incredibly pompous (it is), he does sound it too.]
