Who: Loki
Broadcast: Video
Action: Marsiva
When: Current

[When last he was awake, Loki had been curled up in the bed he shared with Rogue, in the addition of his house they'd built together in Luceti. He ascertains very quickly that many things had changed, including:

1. No Rogue.
   
2. No wings. He can find no objection to that development at least.
   
3. Even if he could really do without the new set of scars, however neat, on his shoulderblades.
   
4. But there is this ghastly thing in the back of his neck now.
   
5. Definitely no longer in Luceti.
   
6. Definitely not back in Asgard, either.
   
7. Which is a bit annoying since he'd just been getting down to the business of ruling the place from behind Odin's face when Luceti had snatched him up anyway.
   
8. Someone's taken all his daggers. Smart of them. He shall find out who at his earliest convenience and then gut them with something far duller so that they can fully apprehend what a bad idea that was.
   
9. They took his books as well, somehow. Gutting will occur with the most blunt instrument he can find.
   
10. Oh, this is space. And he's on a space ship. Hm.
    
11. He cannot easily escape said space ship. Really, again?
    

New situations are, at least, interesting. The first order of business after a bit of arcane poking about to ascertain his imprisonment and its nature, is to find out more information so he can begin prodding the pieces in place to improve his lot and get him out of here. There's to be an audience? One part amusing (he does so like to manipulate an audience) and one part infuriating (how dare he be treated like a sideshow).

Well, there will be blood, etc etc etc. On a time scale that pleases him.

The most unexpected result of his initial quiet investigating is that there's an arcane signature about that is his. Something of his, something he has touched and bespelled, is already around. And he would very much like to know just what that is. After brief consideration, he decides to make a video broadcast (well, isn't this familiar, even if the trappings are different) since that will also no doubt find out for him if he is known by anyone in this place.

If he is? Well, he could always do with a list of chew toys. And if not? Could be very fun indeed.

Thus, video. Loki looking coolly amused.]

There's something of mine that seems to have wandered off and found itself here. I [will... no, let's be plausibly courteous for now until the situation unfolds a bit more] would very much like to have it back.

[Video ends there.

After that, he'll take a more thorough stalk through the Marsiva, trying to get a full sense of this new prison.]

[Somebody's playing hard to get, eh? He's not sure if he's amused or annoyed by that yet]

As much as one can, yes. [He won't even pretend it doesn't apply to him either, but that's part of the fun]

I was wondering, rather, if it's something you can sense or had to use some manner of spell to pick out? And, perhaps more interestingly, when you say it's here, does that mean it's simply in this universe somewhere, or likely within the general vicinity of the fleet?

[Oh, but he likes to talk to other magicians. It's such a rare thing for him to encounter. That's not going to stop him from being a brat about it, though.]

I can sense it, when it is so close. No scrying necessary. [A secretive smile.] I don't tend to let bits of my magic wander out of my sight often.

[So there are very few things it could be.]

[lord_wizard]

[Well that...kind of...answers his questions. But...]

You say that as if it had a mind of it's own.

[complicatedliar]

The hazards of enchanting an item. [Hell play along with the it has a mind of its own thing for a bit. See where it goes.]

[lord_wizard]

[The notion isn't completely out of the question, when he considers it. After a few centuries of exposure to ambient magic, the Mirador had it's quirks that might be considered intelligence, but that was largely by accident.]

So it's the missing item in question we're talking about. So you mean to say that you didn't mean it to have that quality?

[complicatedliar]

Oh no, tis exactly what I intended it to be. I'm better at my craft than that.

[This is fun.]

[lord_wizard]

[This won't help get whatever you're missing back, jerk.

The tick of annoyance is small but it's there.]

And yet it's still out of your reach. What does it do?
