Who: Loki
Broadcast: Everyone
Action: Paisley
When: Right now!

[Action]

[Guess who just shows up to breakfast one... afternoon? Loki emerges from his office, looking for all the world like a man who has just woken up from an extended nap, barely open eyes, trying to stretch his back and shoulders, the whole nine. He wanders into the kitchen, fumbles around until he makes himself something hot and dark enough that he can pretend it's coffee, and stares suspiciously into the cup before drinking.

Ugh, his mouth tastes like someone glued one of Thor's feet to it. Ugh. What possessed him to sleep like this...

(Guess who has no idea he's been missing for weeks~)]

[A bit later: Broadcast]

[Awake now, and... well, he looks amused. Which is to say as if he's planning on flaying someone alive.]

Why yes, I have returned. Hide all of the party favors, lock up your sons and daughters, cancel the pedestrian fireworks displays.

A funny thing, missing time. You'd never know it was gone until someone tells you. Has anyone else fallen victim to such thievery?

Recently.

[ Loki has his means, he will no doubt figure out precisely for himself. Even so, Thor can't quite hide the heaviness in his voice -- born of loss. ]

I was told you have been here far longer.

Some weeks, as a matter of fact. [Thor, you are being about as helpful as you ever are. Though he does sound rather hangdog.]

How fares Asgard? Though little it means to me now, it is still yours, yes?

We are threatened by Malekith and the Dark Elves. Mother is dead.

[ And so are you. ]

[Ah, so Thor hasn't gone on to defeat the Dark Elves yes. He'll have to be careful about that because yes, he's totally "dead."]

Ah. No further than what last I remember then.

[Might as well lay it out there.]

I know that I have died, brother. My last memory being of your ugly face isn't really the best I could have hoped for. [Delivered in a perhaps uncharacteristically gentle tone. Teasing, not actually trying to wound.]

I have been on a rather... strange sort of journey since then.

[ Then he remembers death. Thor's mouth thins, remembering the shock in Loki's eyes, the fear and pain. It's dulled the point of Loki's words. ]

Where have you gone, since then? Can you return home, from here?
