So upon Thor's introduction to the multi-universal hub of second chances that is New Dodge, he was also introduced to the concept of board games. Not just card games, like Jane or Sif-and-the-Three would play with him. Games played on actual gaming boards.
He was introduced to scrabble, which Loki defined as "a game of words", so Thor thought it would be a great idea to use such a game to help along with healing his dysfunctional family dynamic, with his brother. Since Loki is the Silvertongue, Thor thought that frequently playing word games with him, might bring them closer together as a family. It is, at least, slightly more affective than fighting each other.
Though not when Thor gets tiles like these:
Yeah, he could have spelled "adopt" or "rot". Because wabble apparently hates the brothers AND their feels. Though he could also have spelt "vat", "top" or "pot".
So then, this happened.
After Loki spelt "rule" in a couple of games opposite Chase, Cap, and Chase's friends. Loki again spelled "rule" in a game with Thor. And Thor decided he'd had enough with this theme, spelling "rule" himself, across it, for more points. Because Loki had used a blank tile as an E. So Loki made his own "rule", which gained him less than Thor's.
It was at this point, at which Thor acquired a D. And he could have made Loki's "RULE" into "RULED", but he decided not to rub it in. So he put the D on "rope" instead. While sharing a glance with Loki that said "I totally could have, AND YOU KNOW IT." Loki pretended not to understand what this meant, which made Thor feel awkward, so they dropped it.
It was in a game, opposite Captain America, when Thor had mentioned that he had a grudge against Chase, for inflicting a torturous curse, on Loki, for a week. Cap said he'd seen what had happened to Loki during that. Chase claimed he'd tell Cap everything, but only if Cap asked him directly.
Thor proceeded to be strictly polite to Chase throughout the rest of that game, but only because he cares about his teammate's feelings. Not because he doesn't still want to maim Chase.That was probably pretty clear from how he looked at everyone during the game, really.
Someone spelled "void" and Thor actively winced. Loki tried not to laugh at him for it. Caleb suggested that Thor did not have to play, if he wasn't having fun. Chase told Thor that he was being far too serious, because these were only words. But as "void" made Thor think of Loki's fall into the void, the word caused him a bit of distress. It was noted, either by Chase or by Caleb, that Thor looked like he might be constipated.
In another game, opposite Chase, Loki and Eve, Eve said that Thor was highly incorrect, if he assumed that Chase had a solid grasp on the world -- because Chase was a teenage boy. This made Thor start to question his wish to fight the kid, over what Chase did to Loki.
Thor still sees Chase as a very real threat, to himself, his brother, and New Dodge. But he admitted to Loki, in a private game between them later, that he wasn't exactly sure how to deal with the issue, as Thor himself had serious blindness about the galaxy, even as far as adulthood. So the thought of fighting Chase, when Chase was still so young, was something that was bothering Thor. He didn't like his options, either way.
Loki admitted to him, that he'd arranged things with Chase, so that Chase had agreed not to inflict him with harmful magic again, if Loki agreed not to speak with Caleb (when unsupervised by Chase). Thor's wish for vengeance was not sated by this agreement, though. Nor was his fear that Chase could just torture Loki again, the next time he wanted something from Loki.
It was at this point, that Loki asked Thor, if Thor could have come up with a better answer to all this. The elder brother had to admit that he couldn't. Loki helpfully suggested that Thor could simply scare the daylights out of Chase, if his sense of honor would prevent him from actually attacking the kid.
In another game soon after, Thor placed the word "bicep", hoping it wouldn't anger Loki. The younger brother only laughed.
Then Loki placed these words:
, which made Thor sigh and proceed to be very unhappy.
And also, this happened:
Battle words just kept coming up, until both brothers were actually trying to add to the running joke.
