[alwaysmother]

As more than enough time has passed I feel obliged to seek out a means to supply myself in the name of the World Turtle’s cause.

[She just had to make sure to get this computer thing down pat first, and look at her, doing a fine job using the camera…well it’s not as shaky as it was when she first arrived and she’s quite proud of that. More to their credit than hers are the fine tutors she has had in the use of the technology.]

I have been told that one of the essentials of this world is work and seeking it out. Now that I have acquired knowledge about the status of my family and my situation this seems to be the next logical step.

[Even though it is probably out of her typical comfort zone, being the Queen of Asgard she has spent time with her people, the only position she really ever had was that of a wife, mother, and ruler. Now she had to present herself in a way that would make her seem qualified to work…

…and she wasn’t all that sure she had anything valuable to offer, but shrinking away is also not an option. So sitting upright and looking confident she continues.]

First I shall dispense with my titles, one of them at least; I cannot see how being queen of another realm would be functional realistically other than illustrating my organization, mediation, and leadership qualities.

[She could easily say these qualities could be applied to a mother, any mother.]

I also possess strength that is supplied to people of Asgard, fundamental knowledge of and concerning magic, and the capacity to fight if necessary.

These are the qualifications of Frigga--if you can harness these qualities and find a means of putting them to use then I am at your disposal. [If you need references talk to her children and ask them about her work.]

So, you were a legit queen of a whole realm and, now that you're here, you're actually willing to go out and find a job.

Kudos, lady. Kudos.

[WAY more than he's doing right now.]

[alwaysmother]

Certainly. I can see no difference at all between my circumstances and anyone else's and if I can be of use I would very much like to. I cannot see myself idling for long.

[On top of that she has children and only one gown, definitely not winter ready this one.]

[casaerotica13]

[Damn.]

Are you mortal?

I mean, like, most of the mortal royalty seems so uptight.

[Well, so does several immortals he knows, but she doesn't talk at all like that.]

[Oh and uh... excuse the blunt question.]

I'm Bianca Reyes, I help run one of the medical clinics here.

We could always use more assistance there, when it comes to administrative work, if you would be interested. We're currently working towards forming a hospital.

[alwaysmother]

A very worthwhile endeavor, I would be honored to help out in any way that I can. Where might I find your medical facilities.

[asoothingvoice]

[There's an attached location ping.]

I'd be happy to show you what sort of work we do.

And when you say family, do you mean Loki and Thor by any chance?

[There is that 'Asgard' connection. She has a very soft spot for Loki, and likes both of the Thors.]

[ofmyth]

If you are ever in need you have but to ask, my Queen.

[alwaysmother]

[Just give her a minute to digest this because she is a little bit surprised too see the alternate of her son, even though she has been prepared for this.

Alright?

Okay, she's ready.]

I have been told this world has been blessed twice over. You are...Thor......if I am not mistaken?

video;

[ofmyth]

[If there were space he would have knelt, but as there isn't Thor contents himself with bowing in the video.]

Of Asgardia and of Earth, son of Odin and Frigga, and brother to Loki and Baldur. I apologise for my over-lengthy delay in greeting you.

[nerdylilspidey]

You're the queen... of Asgard??

[He has nothing else useful to say. He's completely stunned just by that.]

video;

[alwaysmother]

Verily, at least most days I would say so.

[And the queen does have a bit of humor here.]

You know of Asgard?

video;

[nerdylilspidey]

[Oh. Wow.] Then-- I'm honored to meet you? [Because that's how you talk to Asgardian royalty, right? Right.]

I... Yes. Kind of. I mean, I know of it, but I've never been there or anything like that.

[manofiron]

[ Queen. Asgard. Frigga. There's only one conclusion to make. ]

Correct me if I'm wrong, making a leap to a preposterous conclusion, but are you Thor's mom?

[alwaysmother]

Fine conjecturing indeed. Verily, I am the mother of both Thor and Loki...and whose acquaintance might I be making?

[manofiron]

Tony Stark. I'm a friend of Thor's. From Midgard. Pleased to meet you.

video forever

[guiltapalooza]

[Oh boy, Loki's mom. This isn't intimidating at all. Loki at least acts like a teenager for the most part, or enough like one that Willow finds him bizarrely easy to converse with, but Frigga is a whole new level of regal Norse that she's not prepared for.

She looks a bit sheepish, but visibly musters herself.] Um, hi. Did you find something? [Wait, that's an awkward question. Willow hurries on,] I mean, I just wanted to check that you're, you know, doing okay. I'm not sure how I could help, but I could try?

I'm Willow. I'm a friend of Loki's? The one not from your dimension.

not here;

[bacondivination]

[ Watching this interaction like a hawk, for the record. ]

ditto

[alwaysmother]

[Frigga must figure out a way to make herself seem a little less intimidating. Deference and acknowledgement when she means business is a little bit different from coming off as a strong-arm.]

Good day to you child. [She'll give a polite incline of her head.] I have had an interesting offer, but I am always open to suggestions. One must be flexible, correct? And at this juncture I think any sort of help you could provide me with would be more than satisfactory.

[And what could be more than helpful? Knowing that her children, alternate and otherwise, have friends]

I am duly honored, Willow and it pleases me to know that Loki and Thor are making friends and allies.

[guiltapalooza]

[Willow is just merrily oblivious to Loki stalking this, though it wouldn't surprise her. She's not entirely that naive.

She's also getting over her intimidation pretty quickly with how kind Frigga is, and smiles back at her.] What offer did you get? I can't really see you doing something menial, no offense. [She means it as a compliment, really.]

Oh-- well, I don't know Thor that well, but Loki was helping me with my magic for a while and that actually turned out pretty great. I've been a little lacking on the illusions.

[That's safe to talk about, right? That sounds safe. She'd tell Giles she was doing that and not expect censure, so there's no reason she can't tell Loki's mom. Giles is practically team mom. Dad. Whatever.]

[soulstoker]

Whoa, you're an actual queen?! [Somehow that's all Leia managed to get out of this video. You'd think she'd get used to things like this having met kings back home, but apparently not.]

video;

[alwaysmother]

On my home world of Asgard, yes.

[soulstoker]

I can't say I've ever heard of Asgard, but man, they really do kidnap all sorts of people, huh?

[virginprice]

Your name is... somewhat familiar to me, my lady.

[He's studied the myths of the Skaldi, who worship her as a goddess. His face is neutral, though, and his voice somewhat cautious. Those Skaldi burned his village when he was a child.]

You do not claim godhood? If I remember correctly, you would have such a right.

video;

[alwaysmother]

I suspect that there are those from certain realms who might see Asgardians as having godlike qualities and might even worship us as gods...and I suppose it depends on your definition of what a god is. I would not claim such a title, I cannot say that I have had a guiding hand in the creation of the universe, nor do I consider myself the source of moral authority.

[Though some of Asgard's citizens try to live up to the reputation, but Frigga would have to decline such a title based on her definition of a god.]

video;

[virginprice]

It seems that our worlds differ in that area, then.

[Which is actually something of a relief, see aforementioned village-burning.]

Alas, I do not have any place fitting a woman of your talents, but if you ever require clothing suiting your station you would be welcome at my shop.
