past prologue.

[Avengers, Pepper]

If you guys didn't see it already, my Congress interview did not go well. I thought they wanted information but they want to shut down my research and are suspicious of Asgard and another attack. I refused to answer when they asked about my relationship with Thor. I'd really not like to have to do that again but they threatened to try again with a subpoena. It was so bad.

[Thor, Sif, Warriors Three]

Every year at this time, an organization called the Girl Scouts sell cookies and they're delicious. I got you guys each two boxes of Thin Mints (green box) and Samoas (purple box). They're in the lounge.

[Thor]

I have no idea if you can be called into Congress but it wouldn't surprise me if they tried. It almost sounds like they want to blame you for New Mexico and London at least, probably for New York too. I don't want you to be surprised if the government starts looking at you.

And they asked about you and me. We're linked together now and that means there's probably going to be attention on us now. Media attention. Publicly.

[Thor, Tony, Natasha, Julie]

Greetings, Companions of Thor:

We have tracked down the location of the assailants responsible for the capture of Sir Van Dyne and encountered a discovery most disturbing: these five men had long since passed from this realm by the time we reached them and Sir Van Dyne was not on the premises.

I do believe a larger hand in the shadows is at work and deemed it necessary to cut loose these threads.

I don't know who you are or why you took him, but I'll pay whatever you want to return my father.

Welcome to New York City's historic Gotham Hall, a massive and beautiful event space located in the heart of Manhattan at 1356 Broadway. Gotham Hall is style meets sophistication, with brass filigree doors, marble inlaid floors, grand architecture, and a positively soaring gilded ceiling. This oval space boasts 9,980 square feet and holds a max capacity of 800 guests. Given that the MSF charity fundraiser is one of the hottest tickets in town, every one of those tickets has been bought, raffled off, stolen, or scalped.

How does your character come to attend this event, and are there any other reasons for why they are doing so?

Shakespeare in the Park had been a curiosity from Tony Stark's first utterance and Thor, whose time had been filled with supporting the branches so that Yggdrasil could thrive, found himself back on Midgard with his evening free. Perched on a flannel blanket, in the midst of a crowd of old folks and lovelorn teens, he listened carefully to the tale of King Lear and the treachery that surrounded his court. (  ... an admirable evasion of whore-master man, to lay his goatish disposition to the charge of a star! )

THOR, I DO NOT ENJOY THE STRICTURES OF TYPING ON THIS TINY SCREEN. IT IS INFURIATINGLY SLOW AND PAINSTAKING.

THIS TECHNOLOGY IS SIMPLISTIC AND INFERIOR. WHY DO YOU INSIST UPON USING SUCH PALTRY DEVICES?

ALSO I CANNOT SEEM TO CHANGE THE TYPE.

THOR WHAT DID YOU DO TO THIS CONTRAPTION BEFORE YOU GAVE IT TO ME?
