Character Bio

Age: 24

Race: American

Hair Color: silver and purple ombré

Eye color: green

Personality: Sarcastic, hard headed, enjoys throwing the occasional thinly veiled threats to people who annoy her, joking flirt, immediately gets flustered when someone does flirt back.

Characteristics: Tanned and muscle toned 5’2. This is due to being in the military then living in a farm after her discharge. She has scars littering her back, that are slightly covered by a tattoo of a heavenly gardenscape.

Bio: She comes from a wealthy family, but was always the black sheep, being not well mannered and outspoken, an embarrassing drunk at times. The military did straighten her out, this is also where she got help into getting into the medical field and finishing her degree, becoming a surgeon. She ended up getting discharged when she got injured by an IED exploding by her tent where she was doing humanitarian work, causing shrapnel to dig into her back.

Her family disowned her as she suffered from PTSD and dumped her in the middle of a farm town in the Midwest, where she copes and makes money by tending a berry farm, harvesting honey, and making floral arrangements.

“Oh, okay.” She said stiffly as she saw his reaction to the mention of the name. “Well, should you change your mind, I won’t push it.”

She went to pick at her food before she started eating again. “I do need to go start cleaning up my backyard. I’ll make sure to check on you every hour, but I can give you a bell or something to ring if you need me sooner. Do you need anything for pain management by the way?”

@mayhemandmagic

Noting the change in her demeanor, Loki resolved himself to take better care how he reacted to his brother’s name.  Worse than an offer to contact him would be suspicion for her that led to contacting him all the same–but with more ill intent.

Having finished his food, Loki slid carefully back along the pull-out-couch’s mattress, easing his body to recline.  “I am alright, for now,” he assured.  With most of his strength devoted to the slow process of healing itself, even with her help, he was left with little endurance.  “A rest will do me good.”

[amberpetersonmcu]

She gave a quick “okay” to respond to him as she cleared her plate and then came around to clear his. She helped him get comfortable in the bed before she laid the remote next to him on the bed.

“In case you want to watch a little TV of getting up and grabbing a book is too much. I do have the audio version of most of what is on my shelf.” She said.

On the nightstand by the pull out bed she placed some bottled water and a wrapped dish of some crackers, fruit, and peanut butter should he get hungry again. Lastly she left for a few minutes to return with a cane.

“If you feel like moving around, this should ease some tension, bathroom is down the hall. Seeing as you can move around fairly easy by yourself, I don’t think you’ll need a catheter. This should tide you over, but this,” she said and handed him a small rectangular object with buttons, “this is my pager, should you need my help, press this center button and it’ll alert me. I rather be bothered by you for help than finding you more broken at the bottom of my staircase.”

She gave him a smile and said a quick goodbye before letting him to his own devices while she started to work on the new project she had in her backyard now.

Amber tilted her head as he asked the question.

“Yeah, Thor. I work with him sometimes. He doesn’t normally come here, unless I ask.” She replied,“Do you know him? Would you like me to make a call?”

@mayhemandmagic

“No, no,” he spoke quickly, dismissively, somewhat calmly. “That will not be necessary.”

The last thing he needed was to see his brother.  Though he knew he had been to Midgard, he had not expected to encounter him.  “I know who he is,” he offered, refocusing on the food in lieu of saying more.

[amberpetersonmcu]

“Oh, okay.” She said stiffly as she saw his reaction to the mention of the name. “Well, should you change your mind, I won’t push it.”

She went to pick at her food before she started eating again. “I do need to go start cleaning up my backyard. I’ll make sure to check on you every hour, but I can give you a bell or something to ring if you need me sooner. Do you need anything for pain management by the way?”

Amber could see that he was slowly. Perhaps he was in pain.

“Does it hurt to eat?” She asked, “Because if you give me an hour or two, I can make some calls and get some IVs that I can stick in your arm to keep you fed and hydrated.”

She got up from her seat and went to look at him. She’s used to patients downplaying their actual pain. He fell from the sky, surely he was in more pain that he led off.

“Recovery only works if you give it the proper time and care,” she urged him gently, looking him in the eye. “I have a patient who’s really bad at that, he’ll actually yell at me, ‘The god of thunder does not need a cast for a broken arm,’” she mocked in a gravelly lower octave of her voice.

@mayhemandmagic

“ ‘IVs’ ?”  He had been familiar with Earth, with its terms and customs… but not for hundreds of their years.  Generations had passed, and Midgard was no longer the same to his eyes and ears as it once was.  

He paused, then, at the recounting of her story, hung up on just one part.  “What did you just say?  The god of thunder?”

[amberpetersonmcu]

Amber tilted her head as he asked the question.

“Yeah, Thor. I work with him sometimes. He doesn’t normally come here, unless I ask.” She replied,“Do you know him? Would you like me to make a call?”

Amber nodded and went to make him a small espresso cup of coffee with just some cream and sugar. She placed it in his tray along with some strawberry peach juice.

She grabbed a second plate for herself and ate on the counter, facing him. “A lot of it is fresh. The pig the bacon comes from was sold by my neighbor. He owns a pig farms they typically rate high quality and win a lot of fairs. I often get a slab in exchange for a cornucopia of fruit from my orchard and a pie or two. All farming in this county.”

@mayhemandmagic

Leaning forward as far as his injuries allowed, Loki sniffed at the mug, its cloying scent stronger and more appealing, up close.  Aware of the heat, he gingerly lifted the cup, taking a small drink.

“It is good,” he assessed, letting its warmth weigh down his stomach before attempting the more solid food.  It was all good, truly.  Making an effort not to eat too fast, he still must have seemed half-starved for his pace.  On a better day, he would have easily consumed several times as much, but he found himself feeling cautiously full before it was all emptied.

Amber was taken aback a little, but I guess not everyone everywhere drinks coffee. Maybe he was British. She knew they drank tea mostly.

“Coffee is kind of like tea, but more bitterness and tartness. Additionally, instead of the leaves of the plant being used, coffee is made from the seeds of the plant.” She explained in the best way she could. “I normally put it with cream and sugar to cut some of the bitterness out. Most people drink it for the caffeine. Helps them stay awake longer.”

She placed his plate on a small bed tray, “I can give you a small sample if you want to try with whatever else you want to drink,”

@mayhemandmagic

Watching the approach of the meal, Loki found his stomach readily interested in testing the fare before it.  The main occupancy of the tray were large circles of tan confection, like bread but not bread, like cake but not cake.  The meat and fruit were familiar, in concept, at least. 

“I have had many stimulating drinks,” he commented, distracted by his examinations of the plate.  “But I am curious, yes.”

A single bite of the cured meat, and Loki’s eyes closed in welcome appreciation, a hum vibrating faintly over his lips.  “Thank you.”

[amberpetersonmcu]

The book was filled with many diagrams about the human body. Each one described the different systems that make up a human body in detail as well as correlating research that had been done in that specific area.

Amber meanwhile continued to cook as she was moving about the kitchen, flipping pancakes, checking the bacon in the oven, and cutting up some berries that were in the fridge.

“Do you take coffee, tea, juice, or water?” She asked Loki as she started to make a plate for him.

@mayhemandmagic

Sitting on the mattress, Loki scanned the descriptions, the human understanding of science, fascinated as always by the ways in which they historically examined themselves.  It was not primitive, and, for their current technology, it was truly insightful at times.  Still, he mused to himself that any given contributor to the tome in his hands would have been blown away to visit Asgard and see their beloved science come apart in more capable hands.

Head raised, at last, his brow furrowed.  “What is ‘coffee’ ?”

[amberpetersonmcu]

[mayhemandmagic]

amberpetersonmcu​:

She nodded in agreement. “Thanks, I am pretty proud of it. There are 435 books on those shelves. Trying to work my way up to 1,000. My friends joked that if I was a dragon my hoard isn’t gold, it’s books.”

She finished with the batter and started to cook, the room filled with the scents of cinnamon, vanilla, and bacon rather quickly.

“My father is a professor who taught world history, he kinda got me started on my collection with a copy of the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda.”

@mayhemandmagic

Breathing steadily, deeply, he inhaled the scent of the cooking food.  It was pleasant, gentle, and quite appealing.

Rising slowly, making his steps measured and careful, he stepped over in front of the shelf.  “My childhood library held five thousand,” he spoke quietly, less to her and more in remembrance.  “I read them all.”

Plucking a tome of anatomy and human sciences from the wall, he brought it back to the edge of the pull-out bed with him, looking it over.

[amberpetersonmcu]

amberpetersonmcu​:

“You never had pancakes?” She asked as she was stirring the batter, “Well you’re in luck. I’ve been told mine are, mediocre,” she emphasized the last word with a smug smirk and a short chuckle.

“Would you like to have the tv on or I can get you a book off the wall?” She offered as she caught him staring at the wall of bookshelves in front of him. In a small cubby space in the center was a tv with small figurines of cats laid out in a row at the base.

“The bookshelves are organized by genre. I have medical and technical guides, next to that is beginners witchcraft and foraging anything to do with being one with nature really, the. True crime and paranormal, after that are playbooks, and last one is romance novels with a little bit of weird fact books about general knowledge.”

@mayhemandmagic

Her jest brought a genuine smile to his lips, despite his body’s fatigue.  He wouldn’t be able to judge the value of her pancakes, of course, having never had them, but could assume however they tasted would be average for their kind, of a sort, because of it.

Tilting his head to better align his vision’s line of sight with the spines of the volumes, Loki let his gaze linger over the titles and their bindings as she enumerated the sections from the kitchen.  When he were better able to focus, he could see himself spending time in any one of them, taking the opportunity to see what Midgardian literature would be represented, there.  They had samples, through the millennia, in Asgard–viewing Midgard as a territory, as a protectorate, had led Odin to see their accomplishments from a place of amusement, entertaining himself on its ‘progress’ as its peoples changed and learned.  It was how Loki had been raised to view it, as well.

However, he had admittedly studied far more than Odin, had read more extensively, and had kept his own collection of scientific fascinations.  To those, his eyes were drawn once more, wondering what marvels of medicine passed as worthy of a shelf on Earth.  “It is quite a collection,” he offered.

[amberpetersonmcu]

She nodded in agreement. “Thanks, I am pretty proud of it. There are 435 books on those shelves. Trying to work my way up to 1,000. My friends joked that if I was a dragon my hoard isn’t gold, it’s books.”

Amber chuckled at his comment, “Funny. Still, I’ll get you some pillows and blankets later, I’ll start cooking.”

She walked around the couch to the kitchen that was only separated by a small half wall that was waist high for her 5 foot frame. She started to take things out of the fridge and cabinets.

“Pancakes sound good? I have fresh berries and a pound of bacon unless you prefer eggs and toast.” She offered to him.

@mayhemandmagic

“Their comfort will be appreciated, I have no doubt.”  There were some, he was sure, he did not enjoy the feel and support of soft things, but Loki certainly did not count himself among those.  Cushions, pillows, and myriad blankets covered his own bedding back home.

Home… not quite the accurate term anymore, though he chose not to dwell on that fact longer than it took to think it.

“I do not know what a ‘pancake’ is, but I’m sure it will be fine.”  Upright, now, he took the opportunity to observe her space better.

[amberpetersonmcu]

“You never had pancakes?” She asked as she was stirring the batter, “Well you’re in luck. I’ve been told mine are, mediocre,” she emphasized the last word with a smug smirk and a short chuckle.

She made sure he was stable enough on his feet before she moved around to the couch. She pulled off the bottom cushions that revealed the metal frame of the bed. With two hard tugs she pulled out the king size bed. “You can go ahead and sit while I get some pillows and blankets. It gets cold down here even with the fireplace going. Are you hungry? I can bring something to eat if your jaw isn’t sore.”

@mayhemandmagic

Holding himself upright, if listing partly to the left more than the right, he watched with some measure of fascination as she revealed the insides of the piece of furniture.  “That is quite clever,” he remarked, noting closely how the apparatus moved, how it was constructed. 

Gingerly, he stepped forward, testing the side of the bed’s cushion with one hand before easing his body’s weight down to sit on its edge. 

“You will not find me feeling cold,” he offered lightly, amused to himself though controlled enough not to laugh.  “Will you eat with me?”

[amberpetersonmcu]

Amber chuckled at his comment, “Funny. Still, I’ll get you some pillows and blankets later, I’ll start cooking.”

She walked around the couch to the kitchen that was only separated by a small half wall that was waist high for her 5 foot frame. She started to take things out of the fridge and cabinets.

[mayhemandmagic]

amberpetersonmcu​:

“Loki, please don’t strain yourself okay?” She told him. “I’ll be right back with something for you to wear.”

Amber went upstairs to her room to get him clothes, which just ended up being a pair of loose sweatpants and a grey plush bathrobe.

“I don’t really have any shirts you can fit, so I got you my bathrobe and sweatpants.” She said as she came back down.

She set them to the side and started to remove the wet rags and blanket that were keeping him from being fully exposed to her. She did make an impressed face when she did see him, just out of instinct, but made no comment. She grabbed the pants and carefully she put them on, helping him raise his hips to get them over.

“Do you want to try and stand? I have a pull out bed and it might be more comfortable than the floor,” she offered

@mayhemandmagic

Though her reaction was not lost to him, Loki chose not to call attention to it.  If that were desirable, later, when there were fewer things to focus his attention, he would pull that card back out.  Currently, she was providing him plenty of service to his needs, unfortunate though they were.

So he silently adjusted into the material, a strange sensation on his skin compared to his typical garb.  It was… soft.  His mind was not made up on whether or not that was a good thing, however.

“I’m sure I can,” he offered, perhaps with more confidence than was warranted, though he certainly felt it.  Leaning a measure of weight onto her frame, he drew his body into not so much a curl as a bend, and found his way to his feet.  “Hmm,” he offered as he considered his changed perspective.  “Doable.”

[amberpetersonmcu]

She shrugged as she was starting to apply some muscle relaxer cream to him. “I mean, the father of giants was murdered to create basically midguard and Giants were the first beings before gods. They’re meant to express the balance of light and dark between them and the gods. But people nowadays think that evil is evil when it’s more complex than that.”

She sighed as she finished her small rant, “Sorry, it works me up sometimes. Let me get you some clothes. I’m sure these burnt rags aren’t going to serve you anymore.” She said as she looked at the clothes on him that were completely ruined.

@mayhemandmagic

“Evil is far more complex,” he agreed.  Even with all he had just endured, he still believed it not to be so simple as all that.  Too many thoughts swirled in his head over it, and he pushed them back.

When she paused to look over his clothing, he gave a careful stretch to his limbs.  The movement was possible thanks to her attentions, though still difficult.  “I can probably help,” came the offer, after that. 

[amberpetersonmcu]

“Loki, please don’t strain yourself okay?” She told him. “I’ll be right back with something for you to wear.”

“Almost I believe it’s a parasite brought by fungus,” she said. She loosened her grip a little to go easy on the more sore muscles.

“Yeah, I just think that giants in general have been misinterpreted a lot through history. I just look at frost giants because of my heritage, but I think it’s because I just have a bias against gods. I feel like they’re self-righteous and arrogant than they should be.” She said, “Which I guess is why I started to divert from religion kinda, I mean I’m still learning about gods to see if maybe I should go pagan or I’ll just become a mountain witch hag.”

@mayhemandmagic

The last made him chuckle, which he immediately regretted, despite continuing it to its natural conclusion.  “There are worse things to be,” he offered, his voice already beginning to steady itself.

“And these frost giants…”  He watched her, as much as he could.  “You feel they’ve been misunderstood?”

[amberpetersonmcu]

She shrugged as she was starting to apply some muscle relaxer cream to him. “I mean, the father of giants was murdered to create basically midguard and Giants were the first beings before gods.

Amber thought for a moment over her vast knowledge of absolutely insignificant facts about life. “I’ve gotten some reactions with this fact, but there is this disease called Kuru. It is completely rare and fatal, it attacks the nervous system to the point where you can feed yourself and it can often take years before the symptoms are known, and from there you die in a year. The only way you get the disease is eating the infected brain tissue of a corpse and the last known case was in April 24th 2012, so you know…two months ago.”

She chuckled to herself, “I also know a scary amount about serial killers, ghosts, folktales, my personal favorite myths are about frost giants and giants in general, just because I’m starting to get into my Viking heritage a little bit. Oh, I’ve also got books about medieval torture too.”

@mayhemandmagic

Loki considered himself well-versed in mycology, at least on the worlds he’d visited, but this one had escaped him.  Fascinating.

“This… Kuru.  Is it fungal?”  While not a wince or a tick, he did pause his words at a particularly painful manipulation under her hands.  Even so, it felt better, after.  That back and forth of pain-then-relief threatened to distract him so that he nearly failed to process the last of her words.

“Frost Giants?”

[amberpetersonmcu]

“Almost I believe it’s a parasite brought by fungus,” she said. She loosened her grip a little to go easy on the more sore muscles.

Closed Rp- Death and Mischief

—

@loki-godofstories

Inside the room, there were ceramic shards littering the floor from failed attempts of using transportation magic. As he spoke Jasmin was focusing on picking the shards up and fixing the vases that broke, as she was attempting before he knocked.

There was a struggle as the pieces levitated and shook, slowly coming together to make out the structures, but we’re not fusing or fusing slowly.

“Loki, I grew up in an orphanage where I was called Jinx because I always brought about bad luck. I can appreciate a good joke, but playing pretend with my love life isn’t one. I do appreciate you being upfront with me about your intentions, every syllable you spoke makes me reconsider why I’m bisexual. Although…” she said, slightly considering the idea, “I do enjoy pissing your family off and so do the rest of my family,”

There was another crash and the pieces she was trying to put together had disconnected and fallen on the ground once more.

Jasmin grunt, pinching the bridge of her nose, “I don’t understand, what am I doing wrong?”

[loki-godofstories]

--

Loki grinned. "Of course I'm a threat. I threaten peace and order all the time." She chuckled. "But I wouldn't say I'm enough a threat to warrant such worry." She shrugged and stood up. "Oh well. I suppose I'll just have to wait and see what his royal dumbass does with me." She waved and winked at Jasmin. "See you all later."

[amberpetersonmcu]

There was a mixed response of farewells to Loki, and the room was noticeably more quiet with her departure. Jasmin and her family ate rather quickly and dismissed themselves, but Jasmin was staying behind to wait for Thor.

Once he finished she had him take her to the closest pond for little swim. She used her magic to change her clothes and jumped into the pool.

Almost immediately her form changed, her skin turned a dark blue and her eyes a crimson red. Her orange hair was far more vibrant. The water around her started to frost and freeze over.

“That’s more like it. I’ve been feeling particularly warm lately,” she sighed as she laid against the edge.

“I tell jokes or I start talking about morbid facts I know, which is a favorite with women. Keeps people distracted from pain. By the way, the amounts of times I have seen patients get aroused by a deep tissue massage is common in the medical field,” she said as she worked his ankles. “You just have to power through. I’ve dealt with almost all bodily fluids. It comes with the territory.”

She was very blunt and casual as she spoke, not bothered by the words, unlike most people. She had found being direct usually made her patients feel more comfortable as they knew what to expect.

Her descriptions amused him.  He had, of course, been aroused by massage many times in the past–but those had been times when arousal had at the very least been an expected outcome, if not the entire point of the contact to begin with.  This time, though, not enough of his body had the energy for such responses.

“The pain I can handle,” he assured.  Time, though… “What is the most morbid fact you possess?”
