But what happens if they get between you and your van?

[he smiled, amused. A taser, really?]

[anomaliiiiies]

Then I go somewhere else. I'm pretty good at climbing trees, and I am pretty small. I'm good at hiding.

[small shrug] Or else I whip out my phone, call a certain number, and I have some rather big guys coming for me.

[refusestofall]

You still get reception on that thing all the way out here?

[Hal hadn't seen a cell phone in over a year with no electricity to charge them]</small.

[anomaliiiiies]

Of course. Why do you ask?

[refusestofall]

We gave up trying to find reception months ago. Should've kept my Iphone.

[anomaliiiiies]

[Jane's eyes flick to her phone. She had three bars.]

Okay, what happened?

[refusestofall]

Aliens landed? Did you miss the big ships hanging out in Boston?

[anomaliiiiies]

The only alien I know of, well the first one, he came down in a vortex. I would have heard something if there was anything in Boston. They would have been a lot more excited about the Asgardians if that was the case.

[refusestofall]

[Hal just looked at her, very, very confused]

Asgardians?

[anomaliiiiies]

[she looks at him, a little startled. Ooops.]

Yeah. Technically aliens, but they're very humanoid. They came through an Einstein-Rosen bridge from Asgard, one of the nine realms. I promise it isn't that weird, okay.

[refusestofall]

[he can't really think of anything to say right away]

No... no it sounds the right amount of weird.

[anomaliiiiies]

So what would be the wrong amount of weird? [smile!]

[refusestofall]

Um... [good question]... if they sang and danced when they arrived?

[anomaliiiiies]

Now that might be a little more weird, but not so weird it's hard to imagine. [sunny smile]

[refusestofall]

And just how funny are the images in your head now?

[anomaliiiiies]

I would say a kickline of aliens rates pretty high on the funny meter.

[refusestofall]

Totally tops it.

[anomaliiiiies]

Jane Foster, by the way.

[refusestofall]

Hal Mason. Nice ta meet ya.

[anomaliiiiies]

So, were you patrolling or something?

[refusestofall]

Something like that.

[he looked behind him, trying to see if he was being followed by anyone like a little brother or two]
