[meforsaken]

Right? And it was the worst when he lost his voice here, luckily we could still communicate telepathically.

[Their head shrinks back into a humanoid form, as they consider,]

But I think it must ground him. Even if it's unnecessary for your magic, it might be helpful at times. I still uses runes and spell circles every now and then myself.

[restitui]

[ He frowns - because of course he knows what that means - and chooses to say nothing: ]

Witchcraft still requires spells and runes. I've - I remember using a little to help with my other magic a little before, too.

[meforsaken]

Of course. I just rely on them less nowadays what with my sorcery taking a more metaphorical approach to things. But the classics are classics for a reason, especially when you're new to magic.

[restitui]

[ He nods. ]

Like, how I don't need to use the spell to make a broomstick for flying anymore, but it's still nice to have and use.

[meforsaken]

Ugh, it's people like you who make everyone else assume I know how to fly!

[They're joking. Except about not knowing how to fly. It is the funniest limitation to their powers ever.]

[restitui]

Oof. You don't know how to fly? Are you sure you're a god?






I mean that as a joke, please don't smite me.

[meforsaken]

I am absolutely going to smite you. Look, I can fly when I wield Mjolnir?

[restitui]

... which is how often, exactly?

[meforsaken]

Remind me, how many times have you been deemed worthy and gained the powers of Thor?

[restitui]

I don't even know what any of that means exactly anyway.

[ so 0 ]

[meforsaken]

... Flying's overrated anyhow.

[restitui]

So you WOULDN'T want a flying broom?

[meforsaken]

No! It's stereotypical! And I'm not even a witch!

[restitui]

Now who's the boring one.

[meforsaken]

Still you because cats are cooler than broomsticks. And have historically been associated with magic for much, much, much longer.

[restitui]

Did I give the impression of disliking cats at some point?

[meforsaken]

[And they bring back the giant Cat Thor head.]

Cat Thor! More fun than flying broomsticks!

[restitui]

[ Snorts. ]

Both things can be true.

[meforsaken]

I say thee nay! There is only room for the All-Father and his mighty Mewnir!

[restitui]

You just sound like someone upset they can't fly.

[meforsaken]

[Completely serious:] No, I sound like Cat Thor.

[restitui]

[ Also completely seriously: ] Not enough nyans in your words for that.

[meforsaken]

That's because of the Allmeow, it translates my words to you automatically.

[restitui]

Uh-huh, that just sounds really convenient.`

[meforsaken]

To be fair, a lot of Asgardian powers are just convenient to us and superpowers to humans. This remains true in the Cat Thor universe.
