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?

He did. I like older men, but I have limits. And I did say over a hundred. I don't remember exactly what it was. Besides, no one was getting that old back home. [Not since the war started anyway. Not unless you were immortal.]

Oh? Howso?

Just a rough place. You don't really live there. You survive. Or you don't.

Ah. I shall take your word upon that.

I once made a practice of surviving. I seem to have lost my knack, though.

If that's because you upgraded to living, I wouldn't worry too much. If it means you're dead you'll have a lot of explaining to do to Rogue.

I might have done that. But in a literal since, I have reason to believe I'm dead in my home universe. She's aware of this.

Oh. [Softer.] Sorry to hear that. Probably puts a different spin on things here for you.

She took it okay? [Asking for a friend... Kitty hasn't mentioned that part of her own life to many people.]

It does, at that. I have nothing I'm attempting to return to.

As well as you might expect.

[A nod. She really should tell them sooner than later so that she doesn't bring it up in context to someone else only for it to get back around to them. She could see telling Rogue and Remy. Kurt though...]

Does that mean you're content here? There's the still the matter of someone else pulling our strings. [Not something that sits well with her even if she can't go home again.]

Definitely not. Satisfaction is not in my nature. Even were I not a glorified puppet in someone else's play. [He snorts. The very idea.]

That's...a rough thing to not have in your nature. [That way lies restlessness and greed and disappointment, no?]

I think I might be very bored otherwise, yes? [Chaos god and all.]

Maybe not. If it was in your nature to be more easily content it might be harder to get bored. But we don't really choose those things. [Especially if they come with being a chaos god.]

Mm, I should probably let you get settled now that you're back though. Be seeing you around?

True enough. I wouldn't know. [As it isn't something he's ever experienced.]

I'm certain that you will. [Or not seeing him, depending on his mood.] Good day, Kitty.
