Having Fun In the Warm California Sun
It had taken a little effort and a lot of talking and explaining, but the Asgardians, Ohu and Griffen O'Niell were moving to California. They were going to act as the Avengers' west coast team and would go by the name of The Defenders. Their headquarters would be at the former West Coast Avengers base Avengers' Compound located at 1800 Palos Verdes Drive just outside of LA.

The 15 acre estate featured one main building, five bungalows, garage, hangar, tennis courts and a private beach. It would be a good base for the Defenders and keep the collateral damage out of city.

Today was moving-in day.

	Ohu doesn't exactly have many things to move in. Though he's disappointed by the size of the standard bed. Clearly, something must be done. It is time to go shopping for a bed. "Friend Asgardians! Who wishes to join me on an expedition to procure the most incredible bed? I wish for one that will woo women to me just by existing! Who will join me on this noble quest?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

By now Svalin wasn't surprised at the things Ohu said and she expected them at this point. Like her siblings and Ohu, she didn't have much in terms of belongings and they had been dropped in the room she would be staying in before she went to explore her new home.

Tryggvi seemed happier here than in New York. He had a lot of room to roam and graze. It didn't take much to make her mount happy. Svalin was captivated by the ocean and the beach. There was nothing similar on Asgard.

When she was done exploring the grounds she returned to the main building to eat with her fellow teammates. Mister Stark had been kind enough to hire a chef, but today they had ordered pizza. Svalin had been most pleased with this choice. She had developed a fondness for the Migard food.

"Perhaps thou canst have Asleif put an enchantment on it to accomplish thy goal?"

	"And where would be the fun and excitement of merely making it look like a wondrous bed? No, we must go in search of this perfect bed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2009-06-26 04:07 am UTC (link)
	As if sensing her name had been mentioned, Asleif stepped out of her room, having spent the better part of the day weaving transmutation spells to put it the way she liked it (including turning the air conditioning up to levels that would likely have chilled the marrow off mortals). "A search for a bed, Ohu? Surely, thou must be joking." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2009-06-26 05:23 am UTC (link)
	"Nay, sister. He ist not joking." Svalin grabbed another slice of pizza from one of the many boxes on the table. Her favorite so far was pizza with anchovies and mushrooms. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"While I enjoy a good joke as much as any," Ohu smiles, "there are two things I take very seriously. Good times... and good times with women." He gestures to the spartan bed. "This bed is hardly one which beckons women for good times. While I can certainly make any location a paradise, I would prefer to make the setting fit the occasion as much as possible."

It was only through an act of willpower that Asleif resisted the urge to roll her eyes. One... particular person aside, Midgard held little fascination for her, heroics even less so. And Ohu? She did not even know what to make of this strange one.

"Do you intend to engage in these "good times with women" often, Ohu? I will need to make certain to prepare the proper ear protection if it is to be frequent."

	godlierthanthou 2009-06-26 07:19 am UTC (link)
	Asleif does not smile in return, instead narrowing her eyes. "I art disinclined to acquiesce to thine request." She waited a moment, then added, "That doth mean no." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ohu_amane 2009-06-26 07:59 am UTC (link)
	He gives her a beaming grin. "'No' is not 'never,'" he says, giving her a wink. "But in the meantime, surely you could find no reason to keep away from an exciting quest for a worthy bed?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

This wasn't the place, but there was something here Marlow would need soon, however long or short soon would turn out to be for her. No flashing lights and music marked the place. (She'd tried those back home and found herself stuck in a Disco Inferno for a whole day). No voice in her head. Just the feeling.

Standing outside the gates, waiting to do this properly instead of just showing up in the front hall, she asked Sydney, "Are they expecting you today?"

	sydney_ashcroft 2009-06-26 10:10 am UTC (link)
	Syd, with Zoey in tow, shrugged. "Mr. Stark said to be here at this address today. They should be expecting us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2009-06-26 05:14 pm UTC (link)
	"Maybe they keep time differently," Marlow said thoughtfully, completely serious. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2009-06-27 12:54 am UTC (link)
	"It could be just that," she said. "Might as well try ringing the buzzer." Syd pressed a button on the intercom and hoped someone answered. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ohu_amane 2009-06-27 03:52 pm UTC (link)
	Inside, Ohu looks over at the ringing intercom. "What...? Oh! The intercom!" He presses the button to respond, and is pleased to see the image of the two women outside. "Women!" He turns to Asleif. "You see? Just by talking about the bed, they already are coming." He turns back to the com. "Hello! I am Ohu Amane! Who are you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2009-06-27 05:37 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm Sydney Ashcroft and this is Marlow. I believe we're expected." "And Zoey!" the child said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ohu_amane 2009-06-27 05:40 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, if you are expected, you must come in!" He presses the button to unlock the gate. He turns off the intercom and turns to the others. "I wonder who is expecting them!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2009-06-27 05:52 pm UTC (link)
	"Thank you!" she said before ushering Zoey back into the car and climbing in. She drove up the driveway and stopped in front of the front doors. She climbed out and held the door open for Zoey. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ohu_amane 2009-06-27 06:19 pm UTC (link)
	Ohu meets them at the door, damp towels over one arm. "Greetings, travelers!" He offers a towel to each. "Please, wash up. We will have food and refreshments shortly." He glances at Marlow, and his brow furrows in curiosity, but he says nothing. "You must be tired after your long journey. Come in. Come in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Sydney watched her daughter leave with the two women and the man. She shook her head and hoped Zoey wouldn't drive them crazy. Her daughter was a little enthusiastic about things.

She turned toward the man that had been a part of the welcoming committee. "Mr. O'Niell I presume?"

He nods and rounds the corner to not look like he was hiding. He wasn't trying to look like a nervous shy person, even though that's what he's really like.

"Yes, that would be me. It's good to meet you Ms Ashcroft."

"It's nice to meet you, but please call my Sydney or Syd."

"I'm Marlow." Marlow didn't offer her hand. She wasn't one to touch people. Sometimes things happened when she did. "I'm with Sydney."

"Then call me Griffen," he offers. He thinks about it and shrugs. "They'll be fine. They'll need to get used to kids, I think."

"Mr. Stark had said they have had limited exposure to a lot of things," Syd said. "Which is why I am here I guess. Help them adjust to things." Mr. Stark had explained about them not being from Earth. She was still trying to wrap her head around the whole Norse gods thing.

"Ahh...I believe Asleif is a magic user," he says slowly. "Ohu too. I'm not used to magic yet. Do you know exactly who they are Syd? Otherwise this is going to get a little crazy. Well crazier."

"According to Mr. Stark they are the children of Thor and his two wives. This is their first trip to Earth from their home in Asgard. I assume you and I are here to babysit them so to speak and help them adjust."

"Yeah. I'm pretty much the technology man," he says with a nod. "I'm not really good with other things they need to know beyond that."

He gives Marlow a curious glace. "I'm not sure I recall you being mentioned, Marlow. Could you clear things up for me?"

"Clea sent me. I need to be here." It might've helped if she'd spent more time in the world instead of the Dark Dimension, but that wasn't part of Clea's training.

"Who? Sorry but...pretend I lived in a lab. Because that's mostly true." He folds his arm across his chest. He has a thoughtful expression on his face then leans forward slightly.. "And I'm not a robot or something. Just...stunted."

Syd shrugged. She had no clue who Clea was. "We never thought you were a robot."

"A robot?" It momentarily distracted Marlow. "No, you're real. Baseline human, but real enough."

He rolls his eyes. "I'm being kind of figurative. I'm not on the same page as you when it comes to magic because it's like...a totally different world. Just used a bad metaphor."

"Tech and magic are both very unfamiliar to me," Syd said. "Apparently we're all a little clueless when it comes to some things, but maybe that's why we're all here."

Marlow focused on Griffen intently. "Not world. Dimension. Clea is the mistress of the Dark Dimension. Mr. Stark will know of Clea."

"Uh....Okay." He blinks then decides he'll just tell Mr Stark they have another team member. Sort of. "I'll be sure to let him know then."

"How about you show us to our rooms and while we're getting unpacked, you can contact Mr. Stark?" Syd asked.

"Of course. In fact I think I have good places for both of you. There are cottages on the property that each of us are going to be using." He thinks about it then starts walking. "Right this way. Marlow. I know just where to put you. You'll be sharing with Svlain. And Syd? I have a good idea where you and Zoey will be." If there are problems I can fix it. Any problem with well, anything? Feel free to ask me for help. I can figure something out."

He babbles. Have they noticed?

Babbling filled in the space and made it less noticeable Marlow was acting weird. She couldn't help it. The voice in her head was distracting her.

"Good." A pause. "How about showing us where they are?" Syd asked with a smile.

	He doesn't blush but he does start to show them where they'll be staying. First he starts with Marlow since they're the closest to the cottage she can stay in. "See? I think it's fairly spacious. You'll be sharing though. You can check with Svlain on which bed room you'd like. I'm sure it shouldn't be an issue." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2009-07-02 07:42 pm UTC (link)
	Spacious was a matter of space, and Marlow didn't need much. Traveling light between dimensions was the only way to go. "Thank you," she told Not Robot Griffen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"These are nice little bungalows. Small enough to be cozy, yet big enough that you're not bumping shoulders," Syd said as she looked around. "I hope I'm with someone who can deal with Zoey." If they put her with Asleif...well Zoey would be in heaven. Sydney couldn't imagine what Asleif's reaction would be. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I think there's a section in the former servants quarters that's been turned into proper housing," Griffen says as he pulls a print out from his shirt. He scans it as he's walking.

"Ah. Right. That's what Mr Stark recommended. That way you two have some extra privacy. Given that we can expect the Gods to act like the typical twenty-somethings they appear to be at times?...Um. Yeah." He clears his throat. "A more mature gentleman will also be joining us if he's agreeable to the terms to help the team out from what I understand. His quarters will be bear yours."

	"Oh, that's good. I would hate to have Zoey bothering someone all of the time," she said. "Yes, Mr. Stark mentioned another gentleman will be joining us. He didn't mention who it was or when they would be joining us, but it will probably be soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)
