Torunn & OPEN

TORUNN

OTA

WHO: Torunn and Open
WHAT: Celebrating Pepper's birthday
WHERE: BOBO
WHEN: Saturday, 2/8
WARNINGS: TBA
SPOILERS: TBA
STATUS: Threading

Torunn didn't know many people in Goodland, which was only one reason it felt odd celebrating Pepper's birthday. She was among people who knew each other well and loved each other, but she only knew Thor, Angela, and a handful of others. It was also super odd being in a room with a version of her foster dad, who wasn't her foster dad anymore. She wasn't used to parties, but the music, food, and clothes were fun. She just felt awkward, which was why she spent the first part of the party held up in a corner eating sweets.

Frigga shared that feeling that she was a bit out of place. And not simply the issue where she'd found herself on a new planet in a slightly new time. She was grateful to have her eldest here with her and she seemed to be friends with just about everyone, so she happily accepted the invitation to party as those in Midgard might. It was different, yes, but not at all bad. It would just take some getting used to. She had traded her more regal gown for a more modern dress, still in her preferred shades of gold and blue. If nothing else about her fit in, at least her clothing would.

She caught a shock of blonde hair in the corner of the room and she did a double take. Torunn was someone she should have already spent quality time with. The girl was related, even if in another world. But what did dimension mean in a place already as odd as this one?

"I might be mistaken," she said quietly, barely audible over the music playing, "but I think parties are meant for socializing, even in this world."

Frigga caught Torunn mid-bite; the girl quickly dabbed her mouth and swallowed. She knew this woman was technically her grandmother, but Torunn hadn't rushed to get to know her. Everything was just odd. Her father didn't even want her back home and now she had Thor, Angela, and Frigga along with a host of honorary family members to navigate.

"Sorry," she said after swallowing. "I didn't see you coming...hi."

Frigga offered a soft smile, shaking her head. The girl looked just like Thor always did when he was caught doing something wrong. "I didn't mean me, my dear. I rather meant in general." She waved her hand, gesturing to the guests lingering around the room. "Though I suppose you are one of the youngest here, aren't you? That might make things a bit awkward, I suppose."

For a moment she simply watched the party activities, then she turned back to the child beside her. Well, more a young woman, wasn't she? Harder, in mortal terms. "You're allowed your treat, you know. You certainly don't have to stop eating on my account."

Torunn shrugged. How was she supposed to explain why she felt so out of place? It made her sound like an oddball. Funny how even a teen from an apocalyptic setting worried about fitting in!

Regardless of what Frigga said, Torunn knew enough not to talk with a mouthful of food, so she left the sweets alone for the time being.

"I'm not used to being around people," she admitted. "Back home, it is just my foster dad and brothers. We were in hiding." Training, but hiding. "See," she added, knowing she couldn't leave her statement there, "their parents had been killed by something called Ultron and my foster dad was protecting us while we trained to defeat him one day."

Though it wasn't in the best of manners to do so uninvited, she pulled up a seat next to the girl. Small, but a good fighter according to Thor. And when it came to fighting, Frigga would take his word. She was trained and skilled, as nearly all Asgardians were, but she knew her talents lay elsewhere.

She kept her face neutral, despite the fact that the story was obviously a dark one. It was one she wanted to hear and overreacting might cause Torunn to shut down. "So you were raised your entire life to fight." Well. It was keeping in family tradition, anyway. "Were you allowed recreation? Anything fun at all?" Even with all of his training, she couldn't imagine Thor not breaking to do things for his own amusement.

"Oh, yeah!" She exclaimed. "Tony told us stories when we were young and he always let us use our imaginations and stuff. We just had to be prepared. He tried to protect us for as long as he could. James knows more of how it all turns out...James is my brother. He is older here even though I am the oldest at home." She was just glad James was here, whatever age. She missed her other brothers and foster dad. "Sorry, I am probably saying too much." How did one talk to a queen anyway? These were things she'd know if Thor raised her in her reality.

She couldn't help laughing a little, shaking her head. "No, you're not saying too much at all. I'd love to hear more. It sounds like you lead a fascinating life." Scary, perhaps. But certainly fascinating. She couldn't help looking over the girl's features. She had Thor's coloring, definitely. But there was a great deal of her mother in her, too. Her chin, especially. "I don't believe I've had the honor of meeting James yet. I've met Tony - well, this one, I suppose? He found me when I arrived."

She squirmed a little when she noticed Frigga looking her over, but she realized she should expect that. It was probably as weird for Frigga to have a granddaughter she didn't know about as it was for Torunn to suddenly have a grandmother. Sort of. "This is weird, isn't it?" She laughed suddenly, a nervous move she didn't intend. "Us, I mean? Here." She gestured around the party, but meant so much more. "Sorry if I am not what you expected." Thor didn't raise her and, even if he had, he still wouldn't have been this woman's son. It all made Torunn's head ache.
