text; after rescue;

[failed_antichrist]

i'm sorry for the trouble i caused you.

[stormbreaking]

There isn't any need to apologize. We tried instead of giving up.

How are you?

[failed_antichrist]

just feel bad i made things worse for you.

drinking. does that count as an answer?

[stormbreaking]

It was hardly your fault. They wanted to harm us, they did.

It has been my answer as well.

[failed_antichrist]

i didn't help.

if you want a drinking partner, let me know.

[stormbreaking]

I always welcome that.

Would you like to meet at the bar?

text -> action?

[failed_antichrist]

i'd like that.

action

[stormbreaking]

I will be there soon.

[And true to his word, Thor goes to join Setsuna at the bar. It isn't as if he particularly needs incentive to go there, but-- he is rather curious to see how the other man is after all of that. A scan of the area for the familiar face and he's approaching with a short nod of his head.]

Ah-- there you are.

action

[failed_antichrist]

[Setsuna lifts his mug at Thor's approach.]

Hey!! Saved you some beer. Unless you want hard liquor. [There's a mug waiting for him.]

[stormbreaking]

Beer is fine.

[He grins warmly as he settles next to him.]

You look-- healed. I suppose we're fortunate for that.

[failed_antichrist]

Good.

[He takes a moment, gives Thor a look-over then just has to ask.] So...your brother says you're a God. Do you even get drunk?

[As for him being healed, Setsuna nods his head.] Don't suppose I bothered to tell you I'm bad angel that rebelled against God and fell from Heaven while we were getting beat, huh?

I heal fast.

[stormbreaking]

[He lets out a soft laugh at the question.]

Of course I can... it simply takes a bit more of this. I miss the mead we had on Asgard.

[And all the other drinks that were so much more impressive than the mortal variety.] You did not--

[He pauses, giving a curious look.]

Like Lucifer?

[failed_antichrist]

Good thing we don't have to pay for this, then. [Peering into his own mug imagining the bill for a God to get drunk. And he has to ask.]

So what is the mead in Asgard like?

[Looks sheepish.] Er, kinda. But I was cursed to live through terrible life after terrible life as a human and die young. I spent sixteen years thinking I was just normal, and bam! Wings. And I almost destroyed Tokyo. Er, I did. But it's gonna be saved!

[stormbreaking]

Lucifer can worry about that.

[He lets out a thoughtful hum at that.]

The best, although most mortals can't seem to handle more than a sip.

[He listens quietly at the explanation, brows furrowing.] How did you nearly destroy Tokyo?

[failed_antichrist]

Makes me wonder if he's gonna make us pay for it in another way.

[Setsuna takes a drink, then grins.] Would really like to try that mead, then.

[And so much for that smile.] Didn't really mean to. Something about my angelic powers and past life awakening in me. Now that I think about it, it's not on my sins list.

Of all the dumb shit that is, that isn't. [Frown....]

[stormbreaking]

We pay for everything eventually anyway.

[He lets out a short laugh.]> I will see if I can acquire some.

[Loki can make it for him, perhaps...]

It sounds like that wasn't your fault.

[failed_antichrist]

That's morbid. [Drink.] But true.

[He perks up to that.] If you manage to get some, I wanna try that!

[And back down....] But, in a way, it was. I just never gave it much thought before. So much happened after that.

[stormbreaking]

Ah, just don't complain the morning after.

[Because he's rather certain it will end in a rather impressive hangover.]

What else? If you wish to speak of it...

[failed_antichrist]

Got it. If you do something nice like that for me, I don't get to bitch about the aftermath.

[He goes quiet after that and peers into his mug for a bit. He shakes his head.]

How about your turn? You tell me something. Then I tell you something.

[stormbreaking]

My turn? [He pauses thoughtfully.] I'm the God of Thunder, king of Asgard.

[His expression turns a bit wry.]

Not that an of it is left...

[failed_antichrist]

[Setsuna lets that process. Thanks to Loki, he had figured on the God of Thunder part.]

So...what happened to Asgard? You tell me that, I'll tell you about Heaven.

[stormbreaking]

My sister. [He gives a shake of his head, lips twitching down into a frown.]

Our planet was destroyed... and those of us who left, we ran into some trouble along the way.

[failed_antichrist]

That...suuuucks. [Setsuna isn't sure what else to say the severity of such a thing. Despite his words being a little trite, the expression and tone he gives to Thor are sympathetic.]

Your brother is Loki. Who's your sister? [He's not so good with his Norse mythology.]

You'll have to tell me how you ran into more trouble after that. But as promised. [Setsuna takes another drink.] Heaven...is in the middle of a war against God. And if we don't take the bastard down, our entire universe will end up like Asgard. [Heavy sigh.] My reawakening as an angel started off the apocalypse, and God intends to take everyone out and start over again.

[stormbreaking]

Hela. Her name was Hela. [He hadn't even known she exist... merely another lie his father had told him.]

Why would God want an apocalypse?

[failed_antichrist]

Hela. ...Hela? Hel? [Name? Checks out. Name sounds familiar. Sister? DOES NOT. He frowns at this. Japanese folklore is a little more important to his heritage, after all.]

[He hums for a split second, then Setsuna sighs.] Because the asshole decided we were all failures and sinners and starting over would be better. So he wants to wipe us all out. I'm supposed to stop him.
