Check-In: Not-Mother Hen

[st_alksthroughwalls]

Kitty sat at the bar with a cup of coffee and her notebook, watching the 'welcoming committee' make themselves busy. Liz was here, as she'd promised Kitty she would be and Kitty gave her a quick smile of encouragement.

One of the worst things about Check-In Days was that you never knew whether it'd be a whole long day of no one arriving, one spectacular fall from the ceiling and dropping dead after another, or anything in between. It made it hard to know what to do with yourself. After awhile, you got used to it and just kept on with whatever you'd do otherwise, and know that if you didn't step up for a new arrival, someone else would. But for someone not used to treating it like a responsibility to be here, especially someone with Liz's anxious need to be perfect at it, Check-In Day could be emotionally exhausting.

So Kitty made sure to have milk warmed for hot cocoa and her plans for the obstacle course handy in case Liz needed something to do with herself. Otherwise, she was working on a modification of Cerebro to see if she could start detecting new arrivals.

Re: Thor - Assigned Threads

Most of the worlds Thor had visited in the 1500 years he's been alive were more technologically advanced than Earth was, even though many of them made use of magic and technology in tandem. Based on Kash's description of their tech alone, it was unlikely he had ever visited Exandria.

"I'm going to check the place out," Thor says, smoothly directing two digits at the doors; it's clear that he intends for them to go their separate ways. "I appreciate the escort." A beat. "And the intel."

"Sure." If he hadn't caught him, someone inside would have. But whatever. He'd been there, and honestly it's probably better that someone with half a chance of defending against him is who he met up with. Kash is pretty hard to intimidate.

"Catch you for a drink sometime." Which is less of an invitation and more of a certainty. Thor looks like a drinker and there's not really anywhere to do that he won't eventually run into Kash.
