[Over a course of a few days, Thor posts the following images to his social medias.]

[Eventually, a video recording will start to circulate. It features a very somber Thor, dressed in a suit with his hands folded professionally in front of him. He is standing in front of a wobbly powerpoint presentation which currently reads "VOTE THOR".]

Hello residents of Sunset Falls, friends of Sunset Falls. You might know me already-- if not, my name is Thor. I've been a resident of Sunset Falls for some time now-- [Thor flicks to a slide of him moving into Loki's apartment, with Loki looking less than impressed to be in the photo.]

And so I was interested when I heard of Mayor West's plight-- you may not know, but I've dabbled in a leader myself. I was Prince of Asgard for many years, recently promoted to king-- because my father died. Now, I'm the king of nothing-- because I'm here. But also because Asgard blew up. [Thor star swipes to a photo of an explosion. He looks perturbed, he definitely hasn't reviewed the slides.]

You may ask, "why would you admit that? will we explode if you are mayor?" and these are valid questions-- though you should know I blew Asgard up to save it. And you can trust that I am honest, unlike my campaign rival, who is also my roommate, who is also my brother--

Regardless, I don't think we need to blow up Sunset Falls to make it a better place to live. We need to focus on creating a safe, stable community with access to appropriate medical care and support services for its residents, a community free of fear and.. ghosts. [A slide of a ghost appears, again Thor seems perturbed by this.]

Thank you for your time and remember, a vote for Thor is a vote for one person. A vote for Loki opens the door to endless, terrible possibilities.

[There's a muffled sound and the camera abruptly shuts off.]

I'm sorry, you dabbled in being a leader? What does that even mean?

[Korg also reposts everything on his own social media pages as well as broadcasting the video on his livestream channel.]

Vote for Thor and not Loki!

[ User @AngelA quietly likes all of Thor's social media posts... And all of Loki's as well.

Later, she messages Thor privately. ]

I wish you both luck in your campaigns, though I hope you understand that I must abstain from voting.

Why do you want to get rid of the ghosts? That seems rather narrow-minded.

This seems extremely personal.

Free from ghosts? I would like to see your exorcism policy.

Is this what sibling rivalry looks like?

I'd also be happier if our mayor didn't blow up the city.

[ Peter chooses his Spidey account (and full mask, he's not dumb!) to reply to this because it seems like a safer bet. There might be the tiniest spark of familiarity if Thor sees him like this and not like Peter Parker. ]

Hold on you blew up Asgard??

[ Peter asking the VERY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS here, since he is very shaky on his knowledge of what actually happened with Asgard. This is one area his knowledge is often lacking because who would have told him? And when? And why? ]

I probably shouldn't even get into this, but I have a feeling that Asgard things run a little differently, um, sir.

[ Is that correct? Is it your majesty??? Oh god a crisis about how to address a god king idiot man. ]

Do you, I dunno, have some advisors versed in the ways of Earth government structures?

[ She's chewing gum and pulls the bubble back into her mouth. ]

Let me get this straight. You're Thor. You blew up Asgard. And you want to be mayor of what is probably the Amityville Horror House of this place. Not only all of that, but you're running against one of the Lokis.

[ She shakes her head. ]

I'd say that all sounds crazy, but, ya know, sounds par for the course back home.
