I found a Captain America waffle maker.

[emblematical]

It's already in the kitchen, isn't it.

[switchhits]

It's supposed to put little shields on the waffles.

[ Yes. Yes it is. ]

[emblematical]

[It says something about his life that Steve's just happy it's the shield and not his face.]

Well at least there's that.

Why a waffle maker? Why not a toaster?

[switchhits]

Maybe it was sold out.

Anyway waffles are a lot harder to make than toast.

[emblematical]

And less accessible.

Everybody eats toast. That's just niche marketing.

[switchhits]

That's capitalism, pal.

Do you know how to make a waffle? Can I use that pancake stuff?

[emblematical]

Hate to break it to you Buck but I can't remember the last time I had a waffle.

Though I hear you can find a box mix for just about anything in the stores these days.

[switchhits]

I'm gonna go look.

[emblematical]

You've really got your heart set on this thing don't you?

[switchhits]

Well what the hell else am I doing?

How do you feel about chocolate chips?

[emblematical]

Hey I'm not complaining. If I'd known sooner that a Captain America appliances was all it took to get you in the kitchen I would've splurged on the easy bake oven.

ignore the icons, pre-thor 3.

[ He doesn't keep a phone, Jane does, at her place. It has only a few numbers, the first of which always gets a text when he's in town. It's a photograph, the blue of the sky and sea clear and unyielding. In the centre is a wooden ship, moored. The accompanying link is to a website explaining it's a reconstruction of a traditional Viking ship, and requires a crew of about 12-14 volunteers. ]

Will you accompany me this weekend?

[emblematical]

[Mostly Steve uses his phone for work. Every now and again he'll get some kind of late-night question, or he'll find a recommendation for something to look up on the internet, something to listen to or somewhere to eat. But hearing from Thor is a blue-moon event. Its fair, he spends half his life on a whole other world- but maybe that's part of why Steve's surprised to see not just a picture, but the link to a website. He's not sure he can call it technical saavy with the company he keeps, but its a hell of a lot fancier than the messages he usually fires off.]

I'd be happy to.

But I can't say I've ever sailed before.

[shockput]

[ Texting is quaint, like most Midgardian communication it’s the equivalent of using tin cans and a string. He enjoys it. ]

Worry not, my friend, the others will assist you.

[emblematical]

The others huh? And what'll you be doing?

Napping?

[shockput]

Ha! You would think that.

I have offered to be the bard.

[ No silver tongue has he, but Thor did grow up with Loki — he has his own tricks. ]

[emblematical]

Well I thought you might've been there to supervise, but that's before I knew there was a bard.

You going to be playing music all night?

[shockput]

No music. I will be telling stories. The skipari's family were friends of mine when I first visited Midgard.

[emblematical]

So we'll be doing all the work while you kick your feet up. You sure know how to pitch an invitation.

[If it were anyone else, they might think he means it. Really it's just one more thing to tease Thor about.]

How long's it been since you've seen them?

[shockput]

Exactly.

[ His sense of humor has always struck true with Thor, who's been chuckling merrily. ]

Eight hundred years, give or take a few.

[ Mortals' lives are like flies, here one day and gone the next. The people here still revere the old ways, still call them gods. He's past milking the admiration of humans, however, for now he's simply content to enjoy their company. ]

[emblematical]

Sounds like an overdue reunion.

How long'll we be gone?

[shockput]

Three days including the weekend.

[ Perhaps longer, if someone talks Steve into enjoying the rest of the country. ]

We sail only for a day, Saturday.

[emblematical]

[""""someone""""]

I know I've spent more time under the ocean than on it, but sailing for a day doesn't sound like it'll take us very far.

But sure. I'll come.
