driftfleet | (no subject)

Who: Loki
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the moon initially, but he'll be back to the Paisley soon, and probably on the Iskaulit
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.]

I do. The principle is the same as for a shorter jump. [Well, as long as he knows what the destination looks like, Kurt can do it easily. No reason Loki couldn't, even if his technique is wildly different.]

You're clever, very good at solving complex problems, and skilled in magic. Your complement would be someone physically strong and steadfast who can distract an opponent while you work your skills.

[Mutter:] Finding a point in space...

Am I? You seem to know quite a bit about me from such a short meeting. [Not suspicious exactly, but he feels like he's missing out on something and it itches.]

That's in important first step, yes. You shouldn't want to teleport into vacuum, for example.

[He nods, seemingly not concerned.] I am a friend of your brother, the physically strong and steadfast warrior Thor.

[He knows, oddly, what that is. Curious. But:] Yes, that would be bad.

...I have a brother? Where is he?

[Good, because explaining space when they all live on ships would be a bit much.]

He is at your home, Asgard, which is another realm. You are traveling with myself and others in the Drift Fleet.

Why? [That seems the best and most important question to ask. It contained multitudes.]

[The best question, because it is of course also the most difficult.]

I'm afraid I don't know the entirety of the story. You were chosen to be part of the Fleet, as was I, but the reasoning behind it remains a mystery.

So we are here, and we know not why.

Is my situation common? Where I do not remember anything?

Indeed.

It's not, but there have been other odd occurrences lately. People have reverted to younger versions of themselves, for example.

Ah. That would not be the case with me, though, as I would still then remember something, such as my childhood.

Blast.

[Considering how cute little Loki from Calibrations had been, it's almost a shame.]

You do seem to have some knowledge, however. Speech, for example.

Indeed. I know how to walk and other such things. I suppose that is also rather curious... I haven't forgotten everything, only that which would tell me who I am.

I wonder what the purpose could be, in that case--if there is one. They call these irregularities malfunctions of our augments, but the truth of that has yet to be proven.

You think it more sinister than a... malfunction? [Well, that's creepy. It's not a nice thought.] Have I done something to upset those who control such things, perhaps?

Not that I'm aware of. [He probably shouldn't have even said that, should he?] Though I suppose the cause isn't important as much as dealing with the effects, hm?

I think the cause should be very important, because wouldn't that control the effects? And if it is not some sort of personal attack upon me, might it then affect others and thus be more of a problem?

[That's a very good answer and he nods approvingly.]

Not as immediately important then, perhaps, but important nonetheless. Do you recall the first thing you noticed?

Yes, the tree before which I stood. It had very interesting bark, as I'd seen nothing like it before.

[Hm. That's not particularly useful, as far as the augments are concerned. Still--]

Did you then find the same for all the trees?

Yes, it became so. I found the tree fascinating because it was the first I'd seen.

That isn't terribly helpful, is it?

[He smiles a little.]

It doesn't seem particularly so, though no data is worthless.

[The forest around them is starting to thin, and there begin to be the sounds of a settlement nearby.]

We're nearly there.

When one knows nothing, all things become precious, at the least.

[Oh, that's a relief.]

My thanks for the help.

Indeed. I hope you know more than before, at the least.

[He inclines his head.]

It has been my pleasure.

[He laughs, oddly cheerful.] I could hardly know less.

I do not yet know your name, however.

Quite true.

[He smiles lightly.]

I am the Vision.
