When: June 5 (ends June 12)

Video

[Video starts with... that sure is Loki. But there's something subtly weird about his expression. There's nothing guarded or calculated about it, a slight relaxation of ever-present tension that was never apparent before, perhaps. The best poker face in all Nine Realms is nowhere to be seen. If anything, he looks upset. Confused, worried, a bit scared. And he's out in the forest on the toxic moon, which is just great, let him tell you. No mask, but he's never needed one before, not that he's aware of that, or of the fact that most people have to wear them.]

Hello? Yes, this seems to be working. What a curious device. [Anyway. The point.]

I seem to be lost. Very lost. Where is this?

[A view of the forest, brief but steady.]

And--[Careful breath.]--who am I?

Action

[Lucky Loki, his augment has glitched and while he remembers how to do things--and the occasional esoteric fact--he has no idea who he is. Good news--or bad news depending on your opinion of his usual space asshole personality--he'll get over it in about a week.

Even if no one comes find him, he'll make his way back to civilization eventually and be very confused about life and where he's even supposed to be. Good thing he's practically indestructible. But eventually, he will be around on the Paisley, and on the Iskaulit, poking about.]

[ Well-

@#$!. If there's one thing they don't need for when this clears up, because it will and Ben knows it will, is for someone to try and take advantage of Loki while he's like this. Which. People would, cuz they're people and this Loki, while he ain't so stupid as to be outright evil in a fishbowl, kinda rubs people the wrong way. Little early for damage control since he doesn't know how deep this is or how long it'll last but-

Probably a good reason to not swing right in with video, craggy face and all. Give the guy a little time to adjust. ]

Some kinda moon, I think. You on your own out there?

Audio

[complicatedliar]

[A pause as he looks around.] Yes, it seems I am quite alone.

Who are you?

Audio

[revoltndevelopment]

Ben Grimm. [ Getting around to where Loki is might take some time- might as well keep talking. ] We're friends. Kinda. We're friendly.

[ Leto spots him on the Iskaulit. He hesitates. This is an augment glitch and it needs to play out as he has seen it. But Leto remembers vividly when he lost his memories and skills, how difficult it was to slot himself in with other people. There was that constant offness about him. ]

You seem very lost.

Re: [ action ]

[complicatedliar]

[He is very lost, perennially lost, and also smart enough to know that there are things going on he doesn't know and no one's really been telling him. It's not a nice feeling at all.

Though this is a vast improvement over the forest. He at least got here on his own and knows how to leave if he wants.

He turns to face the young man, immediately drawn to the striking eyes.]

I am, very.

Re: [ action ]

[precedented]

What would you need to be less lost?

[ It's easier to pose that question than give unfettered responses. Answers Loki is not ready for. ]

ACTION

[sandhate]

[ Paisley isn't exactly bustling with activity when he finds Loki wondering about. They're on the same ship, it's not unusual. What's unusual is that he's ...poking around the kitchen like he's new here. Anakin raise a brow and follows his movements for a second.

Then he points to where James' stash of tea is. ]

The tea's over there.

ACTION

[complicatedliar]

[Startled, he looks up.]

Tea? [He wasn't looking for tea specifically, but okay. He grabs that and looks at it a bit uncomprehendingly.]

Do I like tea?

[...at some point he ought to ask this helpful fellow who he is, but he's a bit too lost at the moment.]

ACTION

[sandhate]

Oh.

[ A beat. He narrows his eyes slightly. Confusion everywhere ]

I thought you did...?

action

[resnipstance]

[A de-aged Ahsoka is hanging out with Anakin on the Paisley, and Loki's presence is strange to her indeed. She doesn't know exactly how to classify it, though, so instead she just reacts with a thirteen year old's natural curiosity.]

... What'cha looking for?

[It's not hostile, merely curious.]

action

[complicatedliar]

[Another unfamiliar face, but they're all unfamiliar. He pauses in his perusal of the cabinet he's on.]

I don't know. Something familiar, I suppose.

Who are you? [It's a much easier question to ask than, who am I? he's discovered.]

[resnipstance]

I'm Ahsoka Tano. Anakin's padawan learner. Are you new here too, then?

audio;

[unbearablynaive]

[Well, this could be a problem. He's either faking it - not unheard of - or he's a thousand-year-old sorcerer with no idea what he's doing. On the other hand--

The Vision remembers a Calibration room, a frightened child, and an exchange of stories.]

Have you found your way back yet, or would you prefer some guidance?

audio;

[complicatedliar]

[Oh hello, mysterious voice. You sound friendly at least.]

I'm still quite lost.

audio;

[unbearablynaive]

Are you still in the forest? It can be unsafe, and it's difficult for a shuttle to land there.

[His Communications officer should be able to help him triangulate the signal, if so.]

Video

[passingthrough]

[Well this is concerning.] Loki? Which I guess is an answer to you and a question from me. You don't remember who you are?

Video

[complicatedliar]

Is that my name? [Doesn't sound familiar, but nothing does at this point. All right.] No, I don't. Who are you?

Video

[passingthrough]

Yes. I'm Kitty. Are you feeling okay? You're on the moon and the air there is toxic. [She's wondering if somehow that's causing the memory loss, but she doesn't think he'd be looking this okay if it was a problem for him.]

action; we doin' this

[beathach]

[so far, they've had pleasant conversations and while Hank knows that he has to be careful when speaking to Loki, it isn't as though he's going out of his way to run into him either. He made the obstacle course, so obviously he'll see him around.

So when Hank spots him this time - all blue, once again, this seems to be the theme - he simply lifts his hand in a wordless hello]

action; this is going to be beautiful

[complicatedliar]

[Well, the good news is, Loki now knows his name is supposed to be Loki, though it doesn't feel like it fits any more than any other name, so maybe Leto's right. Maybe he just needs a different name to call himself. Though he makes it sound easier than it actually is.

Anyway, he's wandering around on the ship, poking here and there, looking for things that catch his interest and then--hey! It's another blue person! And the blue person waved at him, how friendly. He offers a friendly wave back.]

Hello! Are you a shapeshifter too?

[Are all blue people shapeshifters? Maybe that's a thing. Maybe this one can tell him more information. His curiosity is never satiated.]

[beathach]

[it's the strange friendliness of the wave that has him pausing, and the words that immediately put him a little on edge - not because of Loki, per say, but he was pretty sure Loki knew what he was, more or less. But it sounds all a bit too genuine to him for him to simply brush it off]

No, I'm not. [his tone is nothing but patient, but he can't help but wonder if maybe Loki had met Raven, too] What makes you ask? I thought you knew what I was.

Iskaulit!!

[pneumo]

[ Because Sascha can't do planetside (moonside?) and honestly, doesn't really like it. But he does like Loki, and even if he doesn't regularly browse the network because of the strain it puts on his eyes, he knows a suave Asgardian when he sees one.

And also, you know. He recognizes Loki even if Loki doesn't recognize himself, so no matter what he's up to he's about to have a Sascha up in his space, happily greeting: ]

Hi~! [ FELLOW NOT!VAMPIRE ]

Iskaulit!!

[complicatedliar]

[Oh, hello friendly person, who are you?]

Hello!

Who are you?

[huaaaaagh]

[Baker Smurf is at it again! ...this time with less skill, admittedly, but the kitchen still smells like cookies when Loki makes it back to the Paisley. Kirito's putting off doing dishes by "taste-testing", AKA munching a few as he peruses his mechatronics textbook. When he sees Loki, he nudges the plate in his direction, brow quirked.]

Hey. Want to try one? I can't decide if they taste right.

[They sure as hell don't taste like Asuna's cookies, but they're not poisonous, so yay?]

[complicatedliar]

[All right, someone he doesn't know randomly offering him food. Maybe this is how it's done. He takes the cookie with an air of bemusement and nibbles on it, curious what it tastes like.]

I think it's... nice?
