[It’s best not to dwell on Sif’s first moments. The news may report later on a car that may have been flipped, and possibly some damage at the hospital, but she gets her fury quickly out of the way and transitions to anger and working on the problem of getting back to Asgardia as fast as possible.

Heimdall may be all-seeing and all-hearing, but either her brother has decided today to be useless or she’s beyond the range of his sight, which is a thought that gives Sif a troubling pause.

But she has other resources, and that is to attempt to call the bar in Broxton and actually send a message that he needs to open the Bifrost and take her home.

Unfortunately she just ends up posting to the network instead.]

Barkeep! [She doesn't bother to announce herself; there's nobody he could mistake her for but herself. But for people unaware of Sif, it's a very loud, very bossy near-shout, as she tries to be heard over traffic.] I need a message sent to Asgardia. Rouse someone from their drunken stupor if you must. Tell them to go to Heimdall and that he needs to turn his sights to- [A pause, while she checks her location-] New Moore, wherever that may be, and open the Bifrost for me. Quickly. And if he protests, tell him that my patience is running thin, even for my dearest brother.

[And then she hangs up, without ceremony.]

Lady

Oh this is turning to video so fast.

[badnewsboy]

[someone looks pretty happy to see her, he's fumbling with the phone a bit, obviously on his way to come see her. jogjogjogjog Loki jog!!]

--Sif!! Various Asgardian pleasantries to you!

[pause.]

Er. Shall I be the bearer of the news that may possibly be considered as bad?

[another pause.]

I didn't do it!

[swordhappy]

[If only she felt as equally thrilled to see him.]

Loki...?

[swordhappy]

[Oh damn everything.]

[swordhappy]

[Do you see this face, Loki? Does this face look happy to see you? Does this face look as though it believes you?]

Oh, I'm sure. What am I doing here, Loki? What am I doing here with you?

[uneulogized]

Does that usually work?

[swordhappy]

Of course. If it did not, I would not have wasted the time trying.

[uneulogized]

Handy.

Too bad it didn't work.

Welcome to hell.

[Audio->Video]

[tookthename]

I don't think any of us can get messages back home, much less the barkeeps.

[She thinks she might recognize the voice so she turns on the video]

Hey, you're from Asgardia, right?

[swordhappy]

[The problem with Asgardia is that sometimes, it's difficult to keep on top of who's who anymore and what they have all been up to. Especially if you are not prone to sticking your nose into Midgardian matters, the way Thor is.]

I am Lady Sif, of Asgardia. Who asks?

[tookthename]

Carol Danvers, Captain Marvel. I work with Thor in the Avengers.

[theytookmyipod]

So, I kinda hate to be the one to say this because you seem kind of scary as hell, but that's not actually going to work.

[swordhappy]

And what would you suggest, if you know so much?

[theytookmyipod]

Get a cup of coffee, make yourself cozy and hope that you only get one existential crisis?

[Video]

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

Unfortunately, my lady, there have been no successful messages to the outside since I arrived hear, nearly a year ago.

I wish you luck in your attempt, however.

[swordhappy]

Are you the barkeep?

[This is dangerously sarcastic.]

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

I'm afraid not. I am a high school student, and in training to be a police officer.

[hawkingbird]

Oh boy. Loki's gonna get a kick out of this one.

[hawkingbird]

I'm sorry, that's rude. Hi. I'm Kate. Welcome to New Moore?

[swordhappy]

What does that mean, get a kick out of this? I have not kicked him yet. Satisfying as it might sometimes be.

[badnewsboy]

That is rude. I'm offended.

[nicevampireguy]

Uh, look, I'm not your messenger, okay. You can use the bar's payphone just like every other paying customer.

[swordhappy]

[This is not the barkeep Sif was looking for.]

Who in Hela's name are you?

[atadbiased]

[When she got the notice she was getting a new roomie, Lizzie thought nothing of it. Sif was a weird enough name, and weirder things happened...

but when names were mentioned and- omg.]

I don't think you getting home is going to be as easy as you think. Sorry.

[swordhappy]

[Sorry about your roommate Lizzie.]

Worry not, Midgardian. I am more than ably equipped to handle any kind of challenge they wish to set me.
