Jormungandr has been cheerfully informed by his drone wife that he has a job and he'd better get to it or there could be trouble. After some very frustrated one-word questioning, he was able to get the information he needed: where and what it is. It sounds completely pointless, but he's decided to at least go check it out.
It's office work. It's even more pointless than he thought it would be. But he's stuck with it, and if what he hears is correct, he has to do it or there are consequences. He is not happy.
So this afternoon/evening Jormungandr can be found in one of the following places:
A. The Park. [Jormungandr has discovered a small pond. He's barefoot, but an observer might notice that the shoes sitting nearby are soaking wet, as if he walked into the pond before taking them off then changed his mind. He's just standing there, staring at the water.]
B. Walking Around Town. [He doesn't look particularly happy. In fact, he looks pretty angry. He wants out of this town, even if it means going back to being trapped underneath the ocean. At least there he knew who he was and what his purpose was. The more he learns about this place, the more pointless, inane, and frustrating it becomes. He's got a foul look on his face as he wanders aimlessly.]
C. Phone Call. [He's watched the drone woman chatter on the phone enough that he thinks he understands what the purpose of it is. So this evening he's decided to try it himself. He picks up the phone, dials a random number, and waits. When you pick up he'll be quiet for a moment, a little astonished at how it works, but then there will be a quiet hiss. He's not good at talking, he can only manage a word or two at a time, and he still has trouble with hard sounds, especially the t sound. Also he hisses. It's a comfortable sound. He likes it.]
P-urposse. Job. Ssay purposse.
[Why yes that is his way of asking what the point of the jobs are. Give him a break, he's never had to talk before.]

Date: 2011-07-27 02:24 am (UTC)[His tone is one of "why not?"]

no subject
Date: 2011-07-27 04:19 am (UTC)...really.
no subject
Date: 2011-07-27 04:27 am (UTC)Yeah. You're one of Loki's children. Odin threw you into the ocean. You don't show up a lot until the end though.

Date: 2011-07-27 05:01 am (UTC)...yess.
A
Date: 2011-07-27 06:49 am (UTC)[Suddenly, someone coming from behind...even if chances are Jormungandr heard her approach. She was on another walk, sword at her side, when she recognized the man as the strange one she had met earlier in the month. That makes him worth stopping for, so she does, sword at her side and a smile on her face.]
I was wondering what you'd been up to. You do remember me, of course, don't you?

Date: 2011-07-27 07:10 am (UTC)At least this time nothing seems going on with this town...as I don't believe I got your name last time. My name is Lilly, if you've forgotten. Lilly Pendragon.

Date: 2011-07-27 07:27 am (UTC)Well? Is there something wrong with my hand? Go on.

Date: 2011-08-07 06:32 am (UTC)Well, then. I'll take my leave. Enjoy your...whatever it is you're doing in that pond.
[And very much true to her word, she'll turn and leave. But she's not happy about it.]
