Who:Erik Thor (Narrative/OPEN) When: 4/5 Where: NYC park What: Personalities get blurred, and Thor ends up taking a walk around the park. It only sounds complicated. Rating: Low
Erik was aware that he was something of an anomaly, and not just the usual way that a trauma surgeon was always the rock star of a hospital - you reach in and fix something catastrophically wrong or hold a beating heart, and you naturally got something of a god complex. The only thing to do was embrace it, because. knowing you were right lead to acting decisively, and therefore, saving lives. Or at least a decent amount of blood and pain. The trick, he was further aware, was being right.
He wasn't even as concerned about the headaches he got, even if he kept toying with the idea that he should suck it up and run a scan, just to be sure it wasn't anything more serious than allergies, tension, or approaching weather fronts, all normal and very reasonable causes. He'd even accept migraines with any number of triggers, even if that was less likely due to gender.
No, the sense of standing outside everything and not fitting went deeper than that. He just couldn't put his finger on why that was bothering him today, a rare free day after a hectic week. Not even his usual walk through the park settled him; he wanted more space than this, wanted to call down the approaching storm, the first one of the spring.
He looked up, and for just a moment, the city faded around him and a vision of impossible architecture rose in his mind, all gold and silver and sleek movement: Asgard was the whisper in his mind, and it felt...comfortable. Where he finally fit.
But of course he wasn't in Asgard, he was on Midgard, though he couldn't remember how he'd gotten here or what he was doing, why he was staying - besides the fact that he was needed to save lives, though he had not Mjolnir. Or, for that matter, knew how to get home if he wished.
Troubled again, Thor shoved his hands in his pockets, frowning as he toyed with the idea and the sense of the storm many miles off, and couldn't say which irritated his mind more with his inability to do something about them.
